I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

Upon hearing this, Baiyun Yeshan did not give a direct answer.

This was certainly not because he clung to his life for a moment, but because two of his companions still lived behind him, and because of the firm declaration that guy had whispered in his ear:

[Captain Baiyun, no matter what the situation, please don't give up.]

[For Tekuno-senpai, for Kimura-suke, and so that this four-person team can talk together again.]

Please believe me, no matter what!

This is the fundamental reason why he remained steadfast with his sword in such dire straits, without responding to his companions behind him.

Because it was the first time in many years that the four of them had reunited and chatted together.

Five years ago, during their rotation mission, although they were in the same squad, due to the ever-changing environment of the North and the importance of their mission, they had never had a real heart-to-heart talk.

However, it didn't matter whether the subsequent conversation was between four or three people.

After all, they were facing the entire power of Iwagakure.

Trying to fight against a top-tier ninja village with one's own strength is extremely difficult, especially since the opposing [Kage] has personally come to this area.

Out of the corner of Baiyun Yeshan's eye, he searched behind for the continuous earthen walls of the city, where the incessant rumbling and trembling conveyed the message that the person was still fighting.

What you've done is truly enough.

He withdrew his gaze and immediately drew his sword, pointing it at the leader of the Iwagakure village on this front line in his field of vision.

"I suppose you are Akatsuchi, the 'Shield of the Earth Shadow', who is known as having unparalleled strength."

As the supreme commander of the Northern Territory, Shirakumo Hayama's mind contains all the information about Iwagakure, including this young man who already has a considerable reputation within the Land of Earth, and is even considered the personal bodyguard of the Third Tsuchikage.

"This should be our first time meeting, right?"

"I've heard that your Earth Release ninjutsu is incredibly skillful, especially in defense, where you have a remarkable reputation. Would you dare to let me test my skills?"

"Is your defense stronger, or is my swordsmanship sharper?"

Baiyun Yeshan, dragging his body covered in wounds of all sizes, spoke with an air of arrogance to the seemingly simple-minded Iwagakure ninja.

While choosing to believe in Uchiha Ara, he also wanted to buy some time through his own actions.

Because ultimately, he is the captain of this squad!

As the team leader, my responsibility is to be accountable to all the team members!

"team leader!"

Before Chi Tu could answer, his two companions behind him suddenly called out in unison.

Having worked together for years, how could they not know what the former was thinking?

There must have been some agreement between Ara and the captain, which is why their captain made such a delaying move.

But they were truly not afraid of death!

However, Shirokumo Hayama did not respond to the call. Instead, he stared directly at the Iwagakure Jonin in his field of vision and spoke with a disdain similar to that of the other person.

After all, he was a genuine elite Jonin!

Akado carefully examined his opponent in his field of vision.

His battle armor was tattered and riddled with wounds. Although his chakra should have been depleted long ago, he still displayed an invincible and powerful attitude.

Such a stance, such a challenge,

The Konoha Jonin before us must be using immense willpower to keep himself from collapsing!

Don't underestimate Shirakumo Hayama just because of this; that guy's resilience far surpasses that of ordinary ninjas.

If Uchiha Shisui halted Kirigakure's westward advance, then it was Hakumo Hazan who held firm at the northern border of the Land of Fire, preventing Iwagakure from advancing south!

This was a solemn warning from Onoki before Akado received his orders.

"no need."

"I know you are very strong, and you have even received the approval of the Tsuchikage."

“However, as the garrison commander of the northern border of Konoha, there are some things you should know better than me. This is war, not a friendly spar.”

"Use earth magic to advance and capture them!"

Akatsuchi responded calmly.

He had no interest in fame or infighting; all he cared about was loyalty to the Third Hokage and obeying his orders.

Upon hearing this, Baiyun Yeshan's expression remained unchanged, but a tangible bitterness slowly welled up inside him.

The elites of each ninja village are indeed of the highest caliber.

At the same time, two rock walls rose up under the creation of the Iwagakure ninja and continued to advance forward as guided by the caster, squeezing out the space for the Konoha team to exist.

Even so, Baiyun Yeshan did not show the slightest fear or panic on his face. He simply raised his sword and squeezed out the last bit of chakra in his body, pouring it all onto the blade.

In an instant, a fierce and surging wind attribute raged around him.

Seeing this, Chitu did not offer any comment.

There was neither mockery nor genuine respect.

All that remains is certainty:

It's over. This battle is finally coming to an end.

However, at this moment, a tremendous energy fluctuation came from the distant battlefield, as if it came from the power of nature!

The solid earth trembled violently, the clear sky was suddenly filled with strange clouds, and the wind in the fields suddenly roared and carried a strong smell of blood.

Compared to such power, the strength possessed by a ninja is as weak and insignificant as a firefly!

【what happens.】

Chi Tu suddenly looked back at the besieged city. Although its surface did not show anything particularly wrong at the moment, it still looked like an ancient prison city lying on the earth, sealing away the ferocious creatures that existed within.

But without a doubt, this sudden surge of fluctuations originated from within.

"what happened?"

"What happened to the sky?"

"........"

Unresolved questions circulated among the Iwagakure army.

The tremors on the ground could be interpreted as the powerful warriors on our side making a final stand against the boy named Uchiha Ara; the bloody atmosphere in the air was also due to the large number of casualties.

But what exactly is going on with that strange sky and that black and red swirling weather phenomenon?

The Third Tsuchikage, who stood atop the heavens, seemed like an ant of utmost insignificance under such a strange phenomenon!

Of course, those of us who are on the earth's surface are even more like ants among ants.

Because they don't even have the ability to set foot in the sky!

[Title Quest - Evil, Completed.]

【Asura, Lord of a Hundred Demons, with whom he has forged a pact.】

But will you ultimately rule them, or will you merely replace them and tear apart that frail ghostly procession?

A contract is only binding the first time. Best of luck.

What meets the eye is a chilling black, and a striking red.

In the bottomless abyss, all beings grow in the extreme darkness, where the filthy blood of demons, sinners, and monsters mixes freely with the scalding lava exposed on the surface.

He sat high on a throne forged from the bones of a giant demon god, surrounded and piled up like pebbles on the roadside.

Moreover, those skeletons, which were even larger than the giant beasts, still emitted a faint glow despite having completely lost the signs of life. This was enough to prove the power of the skeleton's owner in life, but in the end, he was reduced to being nothing more than a stepping stone for a beast.

Looking up from that tall and terrifying throne, one sees a figure clad only in a blood-and-black battle robe, just like the color scheme of this dark abyss. His exposed skin and forehead are marked with a special brand that looks like flames.

At this moment, he simply propped his head up with one hand, staring at some empty space with an invincible air of looking down on the world.

"You've finally called my name."

"Then, don't make my trip too boring!"

Muttering to himself, he chuckled lightly as he rose from the enormous skeletal throne. In that simple instant, with that tiny movement, the entire bottomless, lightless abyss began to panic and tremble.

The hideous demons, the shackled sinners, and the towering demon gods, whose bodies were as tall as mountains, all stopped their movements and fighting, their eyes trembling as they looked towards the firefly-lit area, towards the sealed land in the center of purgatory.

【What are you up to now?!】

A trembling resonance resonated in their hearts.

However, just as Zhigang was about to agree to the shallow and weak power of the contract crossing the boundary, a sudden trembling sound of steel chains rang out, and huge, heavy, and interlocking chains were pulled up from the darkness. A huge magic array resembling a blooming white lotus suddenly appeared over the entire central region.

Faintly, one could also hear devout chanting:

Holy, holy, supremely wise!

This kind of confinement does not imprison the body of the spirit, but rather the spirit itself, which is the source of the spirit's power.

Such fundamental repression aims to ensure that they can never escape this imprisonment.

"Ah, Indra."

With his head raised, a glimmer of light seemed to be visible at the far end of his field of vision.

Do you think you can bind me forever this way?

"Innocent."

"Sooner or later, I will shatter your immaculate heaven!"

As he finished speaking, six skeletal tentacles, like serpentine snakes, emerged from his back. They were scarlet, eerie, and ominous, possessing a metallic sheen—this was the most direct sensory experience they provided.

Then, the six tentacles slowly extended beyond the barrier and came into contact with the contractual power from another world.

At the same moment,

In the ninja world, on the northern border of the Land of Fire, in a massive prison city.

The boy, who was being suppressed by the two hemispherical rock walls and the dust escape that was engulfing the energy, suddenly raised his eyes. Above the sky, the inverted vortex became more and more bizarre, and the scarlet in the boy's eyes became more and more turbulent and evil.

"boom!"

With a deafening sound of rocks splitting, the two earth-style hills that had been suppressing it collapsed. Six ferocious skeletal tentacles suddenly burst forth from behind Ara, and with just a light sweep, those Iwagakure ninjas who had no time to dodge, or rather, had not yet realized the situation, were turned into pools of blurred flesh and blood, shattering and mixing with the solid earthen walls standing on the ground.
