Wisps of flame emerged from the barrier in front of him.
This scene startled Tu Tai, who quickly retreated while shouting:
"quick!"
At his command, everyone unleashed their Water Release ninjutsu in unison.
Walls of water instantly materialized in front of them, blocking the flames.
Water and fire collided, producing a series of violent explosions.
The water vapor formed a huge cloud that enveloped them.
Then, screams began to echo through the woods.
When everything calmed down, Tsuchida discovered that all the Cloud Ninja, except for him, were lying on the ground.
Their faces were pale, and their bodies were convulsing; they were clearly in excruciating pain.
In front of him, Uchiha Seiryu was looking at him with a smile.
"Don't worry, apart from the two who cursed me, the rest are still alive."
Hearing his words, Tu Tai breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He nervously looked around, and only after confirming that the other Cloud Ninja were still alive did he feel relieved.
But before he could say anything, Uchiha Seiryu spoke up again.
"But I can't guarantee whether he will be disabled or whether he will survive in a while."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tu Tai rushed forward angrily.
His body crackled with electricity, and his chakra transformed into lightning that enveloped his entire body.
He swung his left hand fiercely at Uchiha Seiryu, leaving a faint afterimage and the power of lightning.
However, the next second, his left hand was taken away from him.
He froze as the earthen platform's arm flew out.
A flicker of fear and confusion crossed his eyes, before a sharp pain surged through his mind.
He clutched his severed arm, blood seeping from between his fingers, staining his palm red.
Tu Tai gritted his teeth, the pain was unbearable, but he did not cry out.
Looking at the seemingly ordinary child in front of him, he no longer felt any contempt or disdain.
"Who are you?"
Despite the pain, Tu Tai asked, his voice trembling and weak.
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Seiryu stopped his attack.
He uttered the line he had already prepared.
"First-year student at Konoha Ninja Academy, Uchiha Seiryu."
Chapter 92 Humiliating the Cloud Ninja
Uchiha Seiryu's voice echoed softly through the woods, carrying a hint of barely perceptible mockery and teasing.
His lips curled slightly upward, and his eyes gleamed with an unfathomable light.
Tu Tai stood there blankly, his hands clenched into fists, his shoulders trembling slightly.
His eyes widened, his mind a complete mess.
He wondered whether the person in front of him was telling the truth.
Suppressing the pain, Tu Tai took a deep breath and tried to remain calm.
He knew perfectly well that the situation was beyond his control, and even if Uchiha Seiryu was toying with him, he couldn't easily get angry.
He must keep a clear head in order to find a way to survive in this dangerous environment.
The Cloud Ninjas around him lay on the ground groaning in pain, their eyes filled with expectation and pleading.
Tu Tai felt a pang of pain in his heart; he knew they needed his help.
Uchiha Seiryu seemed to see through Tsuchida's thoughts, and a hint of amusement appeared in his eyes.
He held up one finger and began to slowly count:
"1, 2, 3..."
His voice echoed in the air, carrying a hint of eeriness.
"Including you, there are ten people still alive. We'll give each of you ten million taels, and we'll let you go for a total of one hundred million taels."
Uchiha Seiryu said casually.
Tu Tai bit his lower lip tightly, silently weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
Just as he was about to bargain, Uchiha Seiryu spoke up again:
"You are all Jonin, especially you. Even for the Hidden Cloud Village, losing so many Jonin at once would be a serious blow."
"You'd better think it over, because I'll only show mercy once."
Upon hearing this, Tu Tai realized that he had no other choice.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his anger and helplessness.
Then, he slowly began to speak:
"Okay, I promise you."
His tone revealed a hint of pleading and hope.
Then he continued:
"But we don't have that much money on us right now; we can only give it to you after this exam."
His voice trembled slightly, revealing his anxiety and unease.
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Seiryu scoffed, a disdainful expression on his face.
He slowly shook his head and said:
"Foolish me, when did I say I would let you go? The 100 million taels was supposed to be paid to me after the exam."
Then, Uchiha Seiryu spoke again:
"Now, go and collect everything they have on them and give it to me, and I'll let you go."
His lips curled slightly upward, and his eyes gleamed with an unfathomable light.
Hearing this, even though Tu Tai knew he shouldn't anger the person in front of him, he couldn't help but shout out in anger:
"you!"
His hands were clenched into fists, and the veins on his forehead bulged, revealing his anger and dissatisfaction.
But before he could finish speaking, he saw Uchiha Seiryu's eyes slowly transform into kaleidoscopes.
This left him speechless, unable to utter a word.
Tu Tai's face turned deathly pale instantly, his eyes wide open as if he had seen something terrifying.
The Cloud Ninjas around them also showed expressions of horror upon seeing this scene.
They all knew how terrifying the Uchiha Mangekyou Sharingan was, and they understood that the person in front of them was not joking.
Uchiha Seiryu stood quietly in place, as if everything was under his control.
Although Tsuchikage is not yet the right-hand man of the Cloud Ninja, he is still considered a high-ranking member of the Cloud Ninja.
He knew perfectly well how Madara Uchiha earned the title of Battlefield Asura—it was forged from the flesh and blood of his enemies.
At the same time, I also understand the fear and despair that kaleidoscopes brought during that period.
And the Uchiha Seiryu before them also possessed this power.
This is no longer an enemy he can defeat by simply being brave.
But at the same time, Tu Tai suddenly realized something.
He now realized that Uchiha Seiryu didn't want money at all; he was just trying to humiliate them.
If Uchiha Seiryu could hear his inner thoughts, he would definitely give an affirmative answer.
For Uchiha Seiryu, money is just a number, a simple object.
Making him search for the items now would only be an insult to them.
As for the subsequent 100 million taels, it would be fine if it were given by the Hidden Cloud Village.
But if the Hidden Cloud Village doesn't give it to him, he'll prepare to take it himself.
As for why they weren't killed, don't forget that Uchiha Seiryu's purpose in participating in the Chunin Exams in his true form was to showcase his fame and strength on this stage.
If he kills everyone, then who will help him spread the message?
To put it another way, it would be more troublesome to avoid crushing these ants.
Uchiha Seiryu looked around and noticed that the awake Cloud Ninja were staring at him with fear, just as he had expected.
Their eyes were filled with terror and unease, as if he were an unstoppable beast.
Even Tsuchida, a minor leader in the Hidden Cloud Village, could not hide the fear in his eyes.
Uchiha Seiryu smiled and said nothing more, only gesturing to Tsuchida to search the Cloud Ninja's belongings.
Tu Tai looked troubled, but still did as instructed.
Then, under the watchful eye of Uchiha Seiryu, he collected all the items from the Cloud Ninja one by one.
He put the things aside and said with a complicated expression:
"Can you let us go now?"
Uchiha Seiryu chuckled softly, standing there quietly without moving.
However, just as he chuckled, the items beside him suddenly burst into flames, the flames fierce and intense.
In no time, all those items were burned to ashes.
