NOVEL NEXT Chapter 4: Danzo's Ambush
The mission Kuragami Uchiha received was to go to the northwestern border area to eliminate the spies of the Land of Earth.
After leaving the village, the three of them sped up and headed towards the mission area.
However, before they arrived at the mission location, figures wearing masks of various colors surrounded the three of them in all directions in the blink of an eye.
"Anbu?"
Inoka Uchiha looked at the visitor's attire, and his expression froze.
"No, not the Anbu, but the root." Kuragami Uchiha remained calm and drew out the sword from behind him: "Get ready for battle."
"Damn it! What does the village mean? They are actually attacking ninjas from the same village?"
Saito Uchiha said indignantly as he took out a kunai to fight.
"Kuragami Uchiha, the rebel of the Uchiha Clan, today I will come to eliminate you, the destabilizing factor for the village."
Danzo's sinister voice sounded, but Kuragami Uchiha looked around and did not see Danzo.
"You are such a coward; how dare you speak nonsense here?" Kuragami Uchiha replied back disdainfully.
"Kuragami Uchiha put away your little tricks. You want to force me to show up and use the Mangekyō Sharingan you stole from Shisui Uchiha on me, but unfortunately, Shisui Uchiha has already revealed everything. The village already knows that you stole his Mangekyō Sharingan with the intention of rebellion. Why don't you surrender?"
"Kuragami, what did he mean?" Inoka Uchiha asked in confusion.
"Now is not the time to talk about this." Kuragami Uchiha replied as lightning currents flickered around him. "Let's get rid of these rats first."
"Understood!"
Inoka Uchiha and Saito Uchiha nodded and stood back to back with Kuragami Uchiha, forming a defensive formation. They then formed a seal at the same time.
"Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique."
Two powerful fire dragons rushed towards the surrounding Root, and the heat wave of the explosion immediately engulfed the first few root ninjas. Although Danzo brought elite troops to encircle Kuragami Uchiha this time, Inoka and Saito were both the best in the Uchiha Clan and were geniuses who had awakened the two tomoe.
On Kuragami Uchiha's side, it was more direct. Nine massive blue spheres of lightning containing terrifying Chakra condensed in an instant and then crushed forward in different directions.
Lightning Style: Lightning Ball, the most basic of the lightning style Ninjutsu.
It is a ninjutsu that even some of Konoha's lightning-attribute Genin can master, but now, in Kuragami's hands, it has such extraordinary power.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen root ninjas were swallowed up by the lightning ball, and no corpse was left. However, the root had already lost any personal will under Danzo's brainwashing.
The death of their companions did not stop them, but they continued to rush forward fearlessly. At the same time, they also use Water and WInd Style ninjutsu, intending to use elements that restrained the three Uchihas.
"Kuragami Uchiha, you are trying to betray the village by killing Anbu ninjas."
Danzo's voice sounded again.
What answered him were several thigh-thick lightning bolts that fell from the sky and landed accurately on the area where the root ninjas gathered.
The explosion instantly reaped the lives of the root ninjas again, while the remaining Water and Wind Style Jutsu aimed at Kuragami's group were nullified by six eerie blue spheres of lightning balls swirling around them at high speed.
"Are you still not going to show up, Danzo?" Kuragami Uchiha said: "Or do you think you can keep me here by relying on them?"
"Kuragami Uchiha, don't waste your time. It's wishful thinking for you to want to control me." Danzo snorted coldly.
"Danzo, don't you think too highly of yourself." Kuragami Uchiha released ninjutsu one after another with ease to harvest the lives of root ninjas and chuckled: "You are just a rat who can't stand the light of day. You can only live in the sewers all day and can be abandoned by Hiruzen Sarutobi at any time. You are not worthy of Kotoamatsukami."
At this moment, several huge trees shot up into the sky, forming a giant hand in the air, covering the area where the three people were.
The previous attack was just to consume the Chakra of the three people, but the real killer move was the trump card that Danzo had been hiding in the dark.
"Wood Style?"
Inoka Uchiha was horrified. With his knowledge, he could naturally recognize the origin of this ninjutsu.
The two instinctively used ninjutsu to try to block the huge hand that fell from the sky, but their ninjutsu failed to leave any trace on the giant hand.
At this time, Kuragami Uchiha slowly said: "Stand behind me."
In an instant, the three tomoe in Kuragami Uchiha's eyes spun rapidly and turned into a Mangekyō Sharingan.
Dark chakra poured out from his eyes, covering the three people, and turned into a huge black Susanoo adorned with glowing blue inscriptions.
Kuragami Uchiha's Visual Jutsu and Lightning Chakra gathered in the hands of the Susanoo, turning into a dark blue sword. With just one strike, the huge wooden palm that fell from the sky was cut into two.
"Elder Danzo, have you had enough?" Kuragami Uchiha said coldly: "Do you know why I didn't use the ultimate power of our Uchiha Clan from the beginning? Because I plan to bury all of you here."
As Kuragami Uchiha was speaking, the sky above his head had already darkened.
The water vapor evaporated by the collision between the Fire Style and Water Style formed large dark clouds in the air. Huge amounts of chakra were constantly compressed in them. When everyone present looked up, there was only horror on their faces.
Although there was basically no such thing as humanity among the root ninjas, this feeling of powerlessness in the face of the might of heaven is the instinct of every living being.
"Lightning Style: Kirin!"
Kuragami Uchiha called out the name of the technique softly, and then, except for the three people in the center of the battlefield, a flash of lightning flashed under everyone's feet. It was so faint that even ordinary people would barely feel a tingle.
But in that moment, those tiny sparks became their death sentence.
A massive azure beast of lightning descended from the heavens. Facing this mighty attack, the root ninjas had nowhere to escape. Only layer upon layer of wooden walls rose up in a corner and struggled to block the incoming lightning with their numbers.
After a few minutes, the lightning completely subsided, heavy rain fell, and the smell of blood that had previously filled the air was swept away.
In the corner where the wooden wall had risen before, the last layer of the wooden wall collapsed with a loud bang, revealing two figures. A masked man fell to the ground with his hands still in a seal position, while the other man was leaning on a crutch with one hand and the other hand wrapped in bandages hanging limply in front of him.
"I found you, Elder Danzo."
Kuragami Uchiha, inside the Susanoo, smiled brilliantly.
