Destruction

The mysterious ninja looked at the arm on his chest and said, "So fast, I couldn't even see your movements." Bang! Then, he vanished into smoke.

Uzumaki Hane said, "Another clone? You're really cautious. But I think I know who you are. There's only one person who would go to such lengths to deal with me."

Boom! The ground began to shake, and countless pieces of rock started to fall. Boom, boom, boom! The explosions continued, and the earth shook as if it were an earthquake. Uzumaki Hane had been exposed to Explosive Tag before, so he was naturally experienced. His whole body transformed into a lava man and he fell directly to the ground, slowly merging into the lava.

Rewinding to before the explosion, Uesugi I searched for Uzumaki Hane but couldn't find her or encounter any other ninjas. He thought to himself, "Could it be that Uzumaki Hane has already dealt with the other ninjas and left?" Then he broke through the rocks and escaped from the cave.

Upon reaching the ground, with no one around, Uesugi I wondered, "Did Uzumaki Hane leave? No, he doesn't know the way to the black market, so he'll definitely be waiting for me. Does that mean he hasn't escaped yet?"

Suddenly, the ground rumbled and shook as if an earthquake had struck. Boom, boom, boom! In an instant, Uesugi I sensed a deadly danger and immediately jumped away. Boom! The ground exploded violently, and a huge ball of fire shot out with terrifying force, sweeping in all directions. The surrounding rocks and trees were blasted into fragments, which shot out in all directions at bullet speed, causing even more terrible destruction.

Uesugi I didn't have time to dodge and was blasted away, landing awkwardly on the ground.

Uesugi I lay on the ground, feeling the earth shaking violently; the terrifying shockwave made it impossible for him to stand up straight.

Boom, boom, boom! The explosions lasted for a full five minutes before stopping. Uesugi I got up and saw only a huge crater in front of him. Looking at the apocalyptic ruins around him, he was filled with deep fear. If he had been a moment later, he would have been blown to pieces.

Uesugi I quickly remembered Uzumaki Hane, wondering if Uzumaki Hane hadn't had time to leave yet. A trace of sadness flashed in Uesugi I's eyes as he said to the deep pit, "Uzumaki Hane, I will avenge you." Just as he was about to leave, he thought that if even a trace of Uzumaki Hane's body was left behind, he might still be able to get a bounty, so he immediately ran down into the deep pit.

Boom! The ground trembled slightly. Uesugi I was startled. Could there still be remnants of the explosion? He was about to run away.

At this moment, in the center of the deep pit, a lava fire dragon soared into the sky, with Uzumaki Hane standing on its head.

The fire dragon dropped Uzumaki Hane to the ground, where he lay scattered. Uzumaki Hane, now in a sorry state, approached Uesugi I. Uesugi I, remembering his earlier plan to use Feather's corpse for the bounty, felt somewhat embarrassed and asked, "Uzumaki Hane, are you alright?"

Uzumaki Hane said, "It's alright, they're just enemies of mine. I'm sorry you got dragged into this."

Uesugi I frowned, thinking to himself, "It's you again. Why am I so unlucky?"

Uzumaki Hane continued, "It seems we can't go to the black market today. Let's go back first and head there tomorrow."

The next day,

Uzumaki Hane and Uesugi I left the inn, preparing to head to the black market.

Uesugi I said, "I hope this time it goes smoothly and there won't be any more accidents." Upon hearing Uesugi I's words, Uzumaki Hane suddenly had a premonition that this trip to the black market would not be smooth sailing either.

Uesugi I noticed Uzumaki Hane's strange expression and said, "Uzumaki Hane, what are you still thinking about? Let's go."

Uzumaki Hane said, "Okay." With a flash, he disappeared from the spot, and Uesugi I followed after him.

After leaving the town, Uzumaki Hane and her companion quickly arrived at the black market. The journey was uneventful, and Uzumaki Hane wondered to herself, "Was that just an illusion?"

The black market outpost in front of them was disguised as a tall tower, with the black market located beneath it. Uesugi I Uzumaki Hane went straight inside.

There were only five ninjas in the black market, and they weren't very strong, all just Chunin. Uzumaki Hane completely ignored them and looked at the counter. Behind the counter stood the person in charge of the black market. Uzumaki Hane went straight to the counter, grabbed the person in charge, and under the person's astonished gaze, lifted him up and slammed him hard to the ground.

The person in charge let out a painful groan and roared, "Who are you?"

Without a word, Uzumaki Hane grabbed his neck and lifted him up. The person in charge's face turned red, and he reached out to grab Uzumaki Hane 'Uzumaki Hane arm, trying to break free, but Uzumaki Hane's strength was too great, and he couldn't break free at all.

All of this happened so fast that the surrounding ninjas only reacted at this point, but no one stepped forward. After all, the person who dared to cause trouble here was definitely a tough nut to crack.

Before long, the person in charge's face turned ashen, and he looked like he was about to suffocate to death before Uzumaki Hane threw him to the ground.

The person in charge fell heavily to the ground and began coughing. After a while, he said fearfully, "Is something wrong?"

Uzumaki Hane said, "I want to know who exactly has put a bounty on me on the black market?"

The person in charge's expression changed, and he said, "I don't know anything about this. These bounties are issued from above; we have no right to know about these things."

Uzumaki Hane's expression turned cold as she said, "Is that so? If I destroy this place, how much will you suffer, and what kind of punishment will you receive?"

The person in charge's face immediately turned to fear, and he cried out, "No... I'll be subjected to terrible punishment, a fate worse than death!"

"Is that so? Then I'll make you wish you were dead," said Uzumaki Hane. The ground beneath her feet began to melt. Watching the scorching lava spread towards her, the person in charge retreated in terror, crying out, "No, no..."

Suddenly, the person in charge shouted to the ninjas who were watching the show, "He is Uzumaki Hane is 35 million. If you kill him now, I'm willing to give you another 35 million privately."

Money can corrupt people's hearts. The five ninjas' eyes gleamed with greed as they rushed toward Uzumaki Hane.

Uzumaki Hane looked at the five ninjas, and with his right hand, he spat out five streams of lava, rushing towards them.

Seeing that Uzumaki Hane, the person in charge suddenly pressed a button on the counter and said viciously, "Go to hell!" A hole appeared under the person in charge's feet, and he hid inside.

Immediately afterwards, countless hidden weapons shot out from the walls, emitting a ghostly blue light, clearly coated with a deadly poison. The weapons were so dense that they covered the entire room, and the five ninjas were instantly pierced by countless hidden weapons. Uzumaki Hane's entire body turned into magma, and he threw a punch.

Uesugii waited outside, thinking to himself, "Hopefully he won't cause too much of a commotion." Suddenly, a plume of lava shot into the sky, instantly destroying the entire black market outpost. Uesugii watched this unfold, his lips twitching slightly, thinking to himself, "As expected, nothing good ever comes of being with him."
