Naruto: I, who fooled the ninja world, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 459 The Territory of the 'Evil Eye', the Ruined Uchiha Clan Territory

puff!

Wuli Jinba was cut in half at the waist, and his upper body, scattered with dust, fell to the ground.

Just then, the Magnet Release ninja Troy fired several square shuriken imbued with magnetic force from the side, but a thick ice wall rose up and blocked Zabuza's path.

Clang!
The square shuriken sank deep into the ice wall, and a white figure appeared in an ice mirror.

"Gotcha, you little rats." Kushimaru Kurihara's chilling voice rang out like a venomous snake.

Suddenly, several steel wires, almost invisible to the naked eye, had silently spread across the ground beneath Zabuza and Haku's feet like a spider web.

With a flick of his finger, Kushimaru Kurihara heard the sickening screech of steel wire tightening in the air.

Swish!
Those incredibly sharp steel wires tightened instantly, like the sharpest noose, instantly cutting and constricting Momochi Zabuza, who was standing still!
puff!

The sounds of flesh tearing apart and bones breaking rang out, and Zabuza was instantly cut into several broken pieces.

"Hmph, what an idiot." Muli Jinpachi looked at the broken pieces on the ground, spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, while Kurihara Kushimaru laughed triumphantly, preparing to retract the wire.

However, the next moment, the pieces on the ground suddenly exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist with a pungent, rusty smell.

"Heh heh, as expected, even if you die and are brought back to life, your brain won't become any smarter."

The blood mist churned and surged, from which came Zabuza Momochi's hoarse, mocking voice, seemingly coming from all directions: "Muri Jinpachi, Kurihara Kushimaru..."

"No wonder the seven of you were wiped out by a single Konoha genin back then. Even now, it seems you're still so weak after being resurrected."

“Your existence is an insult to the name of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.”

When their sore spots were touched, Muri Jinpachi and Kurihara Kushimaru immediately contorted their expressions into ferocious rage.

"What did you say?!"

"You bastard! I'll tear you to pieces!"

Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield.

"Water Release: Great Water Arm Technique!"

"Water Release: Great Water Arm Technique!"

Two low shouts rang out almost simultaneously as the brothers, Hozuki Suigetsu and Hozuki Mangetsu, simultaneously expanded their right arms into huge fists and clashed fiercely together.

boom!
The powerful impact spread outwards, sending several unfortunate White Zetsu and Jashin cultists flying. The two brothers each staggered back several steps, leaving deep tracks beneath their feet.

"Not bad, Shuiyue, you've improved a bit."

Hozuki Mangetsu shook his slightly numb arm, his face bearing his usual relaxed smile, but his eyes narrowed, clearly not as relaxed as he said.

"Enough talk, today I'm going to prove that I'm stronger than you!" Hozuki Suigetsu licked his lips excitedly, and the two of them simultaneously raised their hands, making gun gestures and pointing them at each other.

"Water Release: Water Gun Technique!"

"Water Release: Blood Iron Cannon Technique!"

Hozuki Mangetsu fired a high-pressure water cannon, while Hozuki Suigetsu fired a crimson blood cannon.

The blood cannon and the water cannon collided in mid-air. The water cannon was directly blasted apart, while the blood cannon's momentum was slightly reduced, but it still shot towards Hozuki Mangetsu.

"What is this?" Hozuki Mangetsu's pupils contracted.

Bang!
Hozuki Mangetsu's upper body exploded under the bombardment of this "Blood Iron Cannon," turning into dust flying everywhere.

"Hahaha! Brother, you're weaker than me now!" Hozuki Suigetsu laughed triumphantly.

"Suiyue, resolve this quickly, don't waste time." Jugo's calm voice came from afar.

On the other side, Jugo, who had already entered Sage Mode, had swelled to more than three meters tall, his skin covered with dark red keratin, and his face was as ferocious as a monster, but his expression was very calm.

He used both hands, his two huge palms like iron clamps, to press down on the faces of Sarutobi Asuma and Suigetsu Hozuki, slamming them hard to the ground.

“You…” Watermelon Pufferfish Demon only managed to utter half a word.

boom!
Jugo slammed the two into the ground with overwhelming force, creating two large craters. The terrifying power instantly covered their impure bodies with cracks.

Jugo pressed down on their arms, causing their muscles to bulge. A violent wave of air surged from their arms, like a high-pressure air hammer, pressing down on their heads once again!

Bang! Bang!
Sarutobi Asuma and Suigetsu Hozuki's heads exploded into two clouds of dust.

"Explosive Release: Landmine Fist!"

Just as Jugo finished off the two, the Explosion Release ninja Kari seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, his right fist, covered in chakra, slamming into Jugo's muscular chest!

Boom!

A fierce explosion erupted in front of Jugo, scattering dark red flesh and bones everywhere, creating a wound the size of a washbasin, where writhing internal organs and the heart could even be seen.

However, Jugo's massive body swayed slightly, and under Kari's astonished gaze, the granulation tissue at his wounds began to heal at a visible speed.

In just one second, the wound had healed completely without leaving a scar. Only the bits of blood and flesh that splattered onto Shou proved the authenticity of the attack.

"What kind of healing speed is this?!"

Hunting immediately felt a chill rush to his head. Without hesitation, he pushed off the ground with both feet and retreated rapidly like a cannonball, trying to create distance.

But it was too late.

The flesh and blood that splattered on him, belonging to Jugo, suddenly seemed to come alive, burrowing into Kari's body and causing him to let out a painful groan.

His arms, chest, and neck began to swell and deform at a visible speed, and a look of terror appeared on his face.

puff!

The next moment, Hunti's entire body burst open from the inside like an overinflated balloon, turning into dust.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Burial!"

Kurozuki Raiga raised his Rai-katana, which was crossed in his hand, and the lightning was drawn into him, turning into streaks of blood-red lightning that lashed the earth and blasted the Kusa-no-Ya-jin into dust.

Just then, Ringo Ameyuri, seizing the rhythm of Kurosuki Raiga's attack, flashed a blinding bolt of lightning and instantly appeared behind Kurosuki Raiga.

"Give me the Lightning Blade." Her hand, covered in Lightning Release chakra, resembled the fangs of a venomous snake, and she swiftly thrust it toward Raiga Kurosugi's head.

However, just as she was about to touch Raiga Kurosuki's body...

Ranmaru, who had been sitting quietly on Raiga Kurosugi's shoulder, turned to look at Ringo Ameyuri behind him, staring at her with his scarlet eyes.

puff!

Ringo Amori's originally straight, outstretched arm bent inward uncontrollably, and her knee joints creaked under the strain, twisting in a way that violated the structure of the human body.

"Hey!" Kurosu Raiga grinned and slashed at Ringo Ameyuri with his backhand. Lightning flashed and Ringo Ameyuri was cleaved in two, turning into dust and flying everywhere.

The cacophony of fighting echoed to the distant cliffs, but had been largely drowned out by the wind.

Kabuto and Hidan stood side by side on the edge of the cliff, looking down at the battlefield below, which resembled a grinding wheel of flesh and blood.

Kabuto had his hands tucked into his sleeves, a familiar smile on his face.

Hidan shrunk the scythe called "Four-Sickle Boy" to the size of a pendant, casually twirling it on his finger while gazing into the distance.

"I imagine the Fourth Raikage and the others must be feeling very conflicted right now, thinking that we sacrificed ourselves to shield them from the White Zetsu and the Edo Tensei ninja."

Kabuto adjusted his glasses, his gaze sweeping over the cultists of the evil god below, who were fighting fiercely amidst flying blood and flesh, and who were gaining the upper hand. He spoke in a relaxed tone.

Having said that, he turned his head and looked at the bored Hidan beside him, jokingly saying, "Pope, aren't you going to stretch your muscles a bit?"

"With your current strength, dealing with those reanimated ninjas should be a piece of cake, right?"

Hidan said lazily, "The Lord's will is not for me to clean up this garbage here, Kabuto." Hearing this, Kabuto's smile faded a little. He was silent for a moment, then turned his gaze back to the cultists who were fighting wildly and laughing in the face of death, and sighed.

"Hidan, do you know? For a long time, including when I first joined the church..."

“I’ve always thought that the so-called ‘master’ and ‘oracle’ you speak of are just excuses you use to bewitch people, gather power, and satisfy your own little perversions.”

"However, the longer I spend with you and the more carefully I observe you, the more I feel that you are not pretending or performing, but rather a near-blind, fanatical faith from the depths of your soul."

"For this belief, you can even suppress your almost ingrained desire and enjoyment of killing."

"This is highly illogical, especially since you already know about the existence of the Otsutsuki clan from Naruto Uzumaki."

The doctor turned to Hidan and smiled, "So-called gods, even if they really exist, are nothing more than slightly more powerful ones..."

He stopped abruptly before finishing his sentence.

Because the "Four-Sickle Boy's" cold blade was already positioned in front of his throat, only millimeters away from his skin, and he could feel the chill emanating from the blade.

Kabuto Yakushi wisely raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and shut his mouth.

"I don't blame you for not seeing it with your own eyes, Kabuto."

Hidan didn't turn around, but grinned, revealing his white teeth: "But you shouldn't use your pitiful knowledge to speculate on or define the greatness of the Lord."

"All you need to do is believe and wait."

Kabuto Yakushi took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and sighed, "Even if you say that, I still find it hard to believe that anything beyond comprehension truly exists in this world..."

His words were interrupted again.

"They're here!" Hidan suddenly shouted, a shout filled with ecstatic joy and excitement.

The shout was so sudden and so loud that it even drowned out the sounds of fighting below the cliff, echoing across the empty mountainside.

Kabuto the Pharmacist subconsciously opened his eyes.

Then, he saw it.

dark.

The boundless darkness.

With irresistible speed and force, it obscured the sky, swallowed the earth, and enveloped everything within sight.

"What?" Kabuto Yakushi's face showed a blank expression. "What is this?"

puff!puff!puff!
The next moment, he saw countless black hands reach out from the darkness and grab every living thing on the battlefield, whether it was a White Zetsu, a member of the Jashin cult, or an Edo Tensei ninja.

Exclamations, roars, screams...

Various sounds erupted in the darkness, only to be quickly swallowed up by that darkness.

The same dark hand appeared on the cliff, beneath his and Hidan's feet.

A cold, slippery, chilling, and malicious touch.

Kabuto felt his chakra and blood frozen, unable to be mobilized at all, and could only watch helplessly as he was dragged little by little into the writhing darkness beneath his feet.

Hidan stood there quietly, making no move to resist.

He closed his eyes, bowed his head, and held the "Four-Sickle Boy." His face no longer held its usual madness, but rather an almost obsessive fervor and joy. Not a single black hand touched or pulled him.

With an expression of utter satisfaction and devotion, he slowly sank into the darkness beneath his feet.

------

Glug... Glug...

There is no sunlight here, only a red moon hanging in the sky, which lengthens the shadows of everything and blurs their outlines, turning everything blood red.

The shadows on the ground began to surge and roll, breaking free from the ground's constraints and rising upwards.

Several shadows rose from the ground like bubbles, vaguely outlining human figures.

The darkness that enveloped one of the figures receded slowly like liquid, revealing a slightly pale face.

Uchiha Itachi opened his eyes, and before him was a dead world.

The mansions lining both sides of the street are now just ruins, with large sections of the walls peeling away to reveal the dark interior beneath, resembling charred bones.

The family crest on the round fan on the wall is still faintly visible, but the pattern is already incomplete, covered with a thick layer of dust, and the edges are cracked.

The window frames were rotten and deformed, and the empty windows looked like countless vacant eyes staring at him. The stone slabs paving the street were broken and filled with dark red liquid.

The stone steps leading to the shrine are covered with black moss, many of them are broken and collapsed, and the once solemn torii gate is broken in the middle, with the upper half lying crookedly beside the approach, and the vermilion paint has been completely peeled off.

The stone lanterns on both sides of the approach path were all overturned and shattered, so there was naturally no light.

On the training field, wooden stakes and targets lay askew, entangled in tattered spiderwebs, but no spiders were to be seen, only crows standing there.

They stood on the dilapidated eaves, on the bare, withered trees, on the collapsed shrine torii gates, densely packed together, motionless, their scarlet eyes fixed on Uchiha Itachi.

"..."

Itachi Uchiha's gaze gradually hardened, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Uchiha... clan territory..."

Yes.

He knew this place all too well.

However, it was not the way he remembered it.

Dilapidated and rotten.

Just then, a roar and the sound of something cutting through the air came from behind.

"Uchiha Itachi!"

Uchiha Itachi regained his senses when a lightning arrow shot from behind pierced him, but there was no blood; only several crows scattered and flew away.

The crows flew towards the distant streetlights, converging to form the figure of Uchiha Itachi.

"Fool." He looked down at the enraged Uchiha Sasuke and said coldly, "Look where you are now."

"Sasuke."

Naruto, who had also broken free from the shadows, walked over to Sasuke Uchiha, placed his hand on his shoulder, and frowned, saying, "Calm down, something's not right."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke gradually calmed down, looked around, and recognized where he was.

Uchiha clan territory?
No, that's not right, this is definitely not Uchiha clan territory.

"Where is this place?" Sasuke Uchiha frowned, looking at Itachi Uchiha not far away, and said coldly, "Didn't you do this?"

Cluck cluck! Cluck cluck!
The crows seemed to be startled by their cries, and they made an ugly cawing sound like dry bones rubbing together, then flapped their wings and took flight.

Just then, reflected in Sasuke's crimson eyes, a figure appeared beside Itachi, silent and ghostly, and threw a punch.

That is the Land of Ten Blades, the Fierce Eye.

This is the territory of the 'Evil Eye'.

boom!!

With a loud bang, Itachi Uchiha was sent flying, half of his body exploding into a bloody mess in mid-air.
