I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

"Nissan!"

Just then, a childish voice reached Itachi's ears.

That familiar voice instantly suppressed the rage in his heart, and the ferocity on his face vanished without a trace.

"Nissan, welcome home."

The person who spoke called out again, and the sound of footsteps echoed in the corridor.

As Itachi turned his gaze, he saw tiny Sasuke running towards him.

"Well, I'm back."

His face was adorned with a gentle smile.

.......

Itachi accepted the challenge.

Just seven days later, during the next rest period for the Dark Division, only the winners will be eligible to enter or remain.

When Uncle Yashiro brought the news, Ara fell silent.

He then packed a few things, carried his custom-made sword, and headed to the training ground, no matter how much Uncle Yashiro tried to persuade him, even though the moon was already high in the sky.

Because this is the turning point where he has the best chance of changing the trajectory of his clan's extinction.

none of them!

Currently, there are three ways to provide him with combat power in a short period of time: First, achieve sword mastery. Whether he studies Konoha-style swordsmanship or the swordsmanship given as a reward, it can become a good trump card. Second, achieve the 1000-day achievement of running with weights. This is the easiest one to achieve, and he is determined to get it. Third, summon a new yokai shikigami and forcibly borrow its power through Oni Binding!

"the ninth of the ten Heavenly Stems."

Upon arriving at the training ground, Ara immediately summoned two shadow clones to begin training for the Crescent Moon Dance. Seven days is neither a short nor a long time, but to master this sword technique, one must fight with all one's might.

Fortunately, the daily rewards gave him the confidence to continue high-intensity training.

As for summoning new yokai shikigami.

Huang had already considered this point. Currently, the talismans he possesses are all low-level, and he cannot summon the Nightmare-level fox demon or the Lord-level Hundred-Eyed Demon.

However, the four evil spirits, who are at the level of minor demons, are too weak to be of much use in borrowing their strength.

The remaining items are the rosary beads and the warriors, both of which are considered supernatural. The former does have the ability to dispel abnormal statuses and might be useful against the Sharingan's genjutsu, but the summoning materials require the rosary beads to be consecrated by a high-ranking monk. There is a relatively famous Fire Temple in the Land of Fire, but it's obviously too late to seek Buddhist treasures there now.

The latter leans towards physical defense, which doesn't quite fit his fighting style. Furthermore, it's not very useful against Itachi, who excels in Fire Release and Genjutsu.

As for directly performing random summons...

Huang once held seven contract talismans, attempting to communicate with spirits, but ultimately chose to give up.

At this stage, having the Snow Woman's help is enough. Too many strange and unusual abilities would only attract the attention of others, especially Danzo.

The ending of Zhishui serves as the best warning.

The next day.

The entire Uchiha clan territory was in an uproar.

Perhaps the clan leader spread the news that Ara was going to challenge Itachi in order to force Itachi to take the matter seriously. Now the whole clan knows about it and is looking forward to the day of the duel!

After all, they were the two most outstanding young members of their clan. Either of them could overshadow the ninjas of other clans of the same generation!

They are the pride of the Uchiha!

Of course, this pride also belongs to another person. That is Shisui, who single-handedly intimidated the Hidden Mist ninjas so much that they dared not advance rashly.

"shortage."

"Are you back?"

That night, Quan, who was guarding the small courtyard, gently knocked on Huang's door.

She had been waiting for a long time, and judging from the other party's strict schedule, it was well past the time he would go home.

But after knocking on the door several times, there was still no response.

My mother and the old lady next door said they didn't see Huang go out this morning. Normally, he would definitely go out for a morning run, rain or shine.

'Why.'

Why did this happen?

Uchiha Izumi murmured to himself.

She had just gone on her first genin mission with her newly formed group of comrades, and when she returned, she heard her clansmen talking about it.

Ara wants to challenge Itachi.

The former was someone she treated like a younger brother. Although they were not related by blood, the bond they had built over five years could never be broken.

The latter had saved her life during the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage and had once become someone she admired.

It can be said that they are the two most important peers to him.

But now they're challenging each other to a duel.

Unlike other members of the tribe, Quan did not regard it as a lively event or a frivolous whim of the younger generation.

Because Huang has never argued with anyone, let alone deliberately caused trouble.

There must be more complex reasons behind this competition.

Thinking of this, Quan couldn't help but look towards the training ground. If Huang wasn't home, he would only be in that place!

However, as she took her first steps toward the training field, she suddenly stopped.

Anbu!

A spot to join the Dark Division!

Quan suddenly remembered the prize that had been forgotten by most of his clansmen, which was the prize for this competition.

'We've rarely seen Itachi since he joined the Anbu.'

The girl's voice sounded somewhat melancholy.

'The Dark Side.'

The boy's voice was weak; perhaps he was just repeating what he had just said.

Images hidden deep in his memory began to materialize, and Ara had long harbored some kind of plan.

Chapter 14 Swordsmanship Mastery, Achieved

When Gekko Hayate saw Ara again, he fell silent.

The faint dark circles under his eyes and the flattened grass beneath his feet told one thing: this kid had been training here since day one, and even when he was resting, he probably only took a short nap in the same spot.

What kind of insane behavior is this?

It should be noted that he was already considered hardworking among his peers, but he only trained for half a day each day before he couldn't resist meeting up with his friends at a meatball shop in the snack street to treat themselves to meatballs instead of alcohol.

If you encounter snowy or windy weather, then it's only natural to take a short break.

But now, under such a stark contrast, Gekko Hayate suddenly felt that his past hard work was merely self-affirmation.

At the same time, a strange conclusion was also resounding in his mind.

This boy named Ara will definitely master the Crescent Moon Dance before I do! In fact, he will surpass my achievements!!

After just one day apart, Moonlight Gale's thoughts underwent a complete transformation.

When they first met, he coldly remarked, "You can't learn my swordsmanship yet."

"Teacher Hayate."

Upon noticing the newcomer, Uchiha Ara stopped his usual sword-wielding and greeted him.

Even if the other person looks only seven or eight years older than him, he will respectfully call anyone who can teach him ninjutsu, taijutsu, or other knowledge "teacher".

And as the other party could see, Ara hadn't been home for two nights, devoting himself entirely to training in the Konoha-ryu swordsmanship.

When they get tired of swinging their swords, they practice ninjutsu. When their chakra is depleted, they meditate. After meditation, they start training again in a cycle of weighted running.

During that time, both Uncle Yashiro and Sister Izumi visited.

However, none of them disturbed Huang's practice. After quietly leaving the supplies, they left in silence.

In Uchiha Hachimoku's view, Ara's desire to surpass Itachi and shed the title of "Itachi's successor" was completely understandable. Although he felt sorry for the 8-year-old boy torturing himself so obsessively, since the choice had been made, he would go for it!

And Quan has already touched upon a deeper reason.

Her team leader had casually mentioned in the past two days that Itachi's willful behavior had already caused dissatisfaction within the clan, and that it would be good to have Ara take over his position in the Anbu.

"Cough, remember to balance work and rest."

After a brief moment of eye contact, Moonlight Gale coughed lightly in response.

Because of the change in his perspective, for a moment he really didn't know how to face the little guy in front of him.

However, Ara didn't care about these details and immediately asked, "Teacher, when using the Crescent Moon Dance to fight an enemy, should I completely relinquish control to the clone?"

"Even to say, have the main body cooperate with the clone?"

This is his biggest problem right now.

Through the Sharingan, he has replicated the swordsmanship, and after two days of training, he has made some progress. At least the situation where the main body and the clone interfere with or block each other will no longer occur.

But this is far from what Ara wanted, and it doesn't fully bring out the agile and unpredictable characteristics of Konoha-ryu swordsmanship.

During his meditation and rest, he constantly reviewed and examined the situation in his mind, and the only flaw he could find was the forced relationship between primary and secondary elements.

The biggest difference between the B-rank ninjutsu Shadow Clone Technique and the E-rank Clone Technique is that the former can think and fight independently, and even has a certain degree of resilience.

However, the power of a clone is naturally incomparable to that of the original.

Therefore, Ara subconsciously believed that the essence of the Crescent Moon Dance was to confuse the opponent by creating clones, thereby giving the main body an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.

This resulted in an overly distinct primary and secondary position during attacks, lacking any sense of fluidity.

Ara originally wanted to try out a free-for-all attack method, but since his chakra was depleted, he could only practice his daily sword swings for now.

'This guy. ’

Listening to Uchiha Ara's questions and the solutions he offered, a hint of shock was hidden in Gekko Hayate's eyes.
