Naruto: The Ninja World's Life Buyer

Chapter 154 Divine Power in Desperate Circumstances

The battlefield was deathly silent.

The fifty-odd surviving Uchiha clan members showed no joy of victory.

Only the burning — intention.

The ground was littered with corpses—the bodies of their relatives and friends.

They fought desperately against the monsters here for the sake of their village and for the so-called Will of Fire.

The results of it?

The village's high-ranking official, Danzo Shimura, actually betrayed their whereabouts to the enemy?

"Danzo————"

Uchiha Sōji released Susanoo.

He knelt on the ground and picked up his brother's severed hand.

Tears of blood dripped from his eyes.

"Is this how Konoha treats us?"

"We are the security force! We are the guardians of the village!"

"Why are you treating us like this?!"

Anger. Questioning.

This sentiment spread among the people.

The Uchiha clan members, who had still harbored a sliver of hope for the village, were utterly disillusioned at this moment.

"Unforgivable—absolutely unforgivable!"

Their eyes burned with the flames of revenge.

"Chief! Let's fight our way back!"

"Let's go settle accounts with Danzo!"

"If the Hokage doesn't give us an explanation, we'll rebel!"

The sentiment is indignant.

Fugaku stood at the very front.

His eyes were closed, and the blood had dried on his cheeks.

He heard the hatred in his people's mouths.

He knew that some things could never be regained.

The rift between the Uchiha clan and Konoha could never be mended.

However, at that moment...

Rumble rumble—

The ground suddenly began to tremble.

"What happened?"

Zongsi suddenly looked up and gazed at the other side of the canyon.

A large number of ninjas emerged from behind the canyon on the other side.

They were wearing red short-sleeved vests, and they covered the entire hillside. Their numbers were at least five hundred. This was a fully-equipped combat regiment.

"Iwagakure?!"

Fugaku's pupils contracted sharply.

"How did they get here? This is the main attack area of ​​Kumogakure; Iwagakure should be in the Land of Grass!"

"Hahaha! What a fantastic performance!"

The leader of the Iwagakure commanders was an old man, thin in build, but his chakra fluctuations were extremely astonishing.

"The Uchiha clan of Konoha and the barbarians of Kumogakure have indeed fought to the point of mutual destruction."

"Iwagakure————"

Uchiha Sōji's face darkened.

"Why are you from Iwagakure here?!"

"Because someone told us there would be big fish here."

The commander of Iwagakure sneered.

"That old guy named Danzo is a real business genius. He sells the same piece of information to two different people, letting us and the Hidden Cloud Village take turns reaping your benefits."

"The Uchiha clan will be wiped out from this place today!"

The hearts of all the Uchiha clan members sank to the bottom.

Danzo. It's Danzo again!

He not only sold his whereabouts to Kumogakure, but also to Iwagakure!

He truly wanted to wipe out the Uchiha clan!

"Damn it—damn it!!!"

A young Uchiha roared in despair.

It wasn't because I was afraid of dying, but because I was unwilling to accept it.

Betrayed by his village, he died in a foreign land. What a humiliation!

There was no chance of escape.

They had just gone through a life-or-death battle, their chakra was greatly depleted, and they were covered in wounds.

Now, they face five hundred fully-equipped elite Iwagakure warriors.

This is a certain death situation.

"Protect the clan leader!"

The remaining fifty-odd Uchiha did not flee. They spontaneously formed a circle, protecting Fugaku, who was nearly blind from excessive use of his eye power, in the center.

They drew their long swords, their eyes burning with a resolute flame.

Uchiha can die, but they cannot die on their knees.

"Kill them all!"

The commander of Iwagakure waved his hand.

"Earth Release: Rock Gun Technique!"

A hail of rocks rained down from the sky.

"Susanoo!"

Zongsi roared again.

The dark red skull struggled to rise, blocking the first wave of attacks.

However, his eyes were bleeding, and his vision was blurring. Having just activated his kaleidoscope, he simply couldn't sustain this level of exertion for long.

Click.

Susanoo's ribs were shattered by a barrage of rock projectiles.

"puff!"

Zongsi coughed up a mouthful of blood and knelt down on the ground.

"It's over————"

It looked like the Iwa ninja army was about to rush up and overwhelm them.

A hand rested on Soji's shoulder.

"Step down, Soji."

It's Fugaku.

He stood up. Although his eyes were already white and he was blind, and his body was swaying precariously.

But his aura reached its peak once again at this moment.

"Chieftain! Your eyes—"

"It's alright."

Fugaku's voice was calm, as if he had seen through life and death.

"I am the clan chief."

"As long as I am alive, there is no reason for my people to stand in my way."

Fugaku forms hand seals.

He was overdrawing his own life force, forcibly squeezing every last bit of chakra deep within his cells.

"The Uchiha clan—must not be insulted!"

boom!!!!

A surge of golden chakra erupted from Fugaku. This chakra was immense.

In the golden light, Susanoo reappeared.

Moreover, it's no longer a skeleton. Meridians grow, flesh and blood cover it, and armor covers its body.

Third Form: Karasu Tengu Susanoo!

A golden giant, tens of meters tall, stood atop the ruins. It had no eyes, just like Fugaku at this moment.

But the giant shield in its hand was like a mountain, blocking the way for all its people.

"What...what kind of monster is that?!"

The charging Iwa ninja stopped in their tracks, staring in horror at the golden giant.

"Don't be afraid! He's at his last gasp! He's burning his life force!"

The commander of Iwagakure shouted.

"Earth Release: Mountain Earth Technique!"

Two massive rocky hemispheres attempted to crush Susanoo.

"roll!"

Fugaku bled from all seven orifices.

Susanoo wielded his giant sword.

A single sword sweeps across.

Boom—

The two giant rocks were cleaved in two. A sword aura swept out, instantly cutting the front row of dozens of Rock Ninja in half at the waist.

"Follow the clan leader! Kill!!!"

Upon witnessing this scene, Zongsi's tears instantly evaporated.

He frantically exploited his newly created kaleidoscope.

The dark red Susanoo stood up again, and although it was only half a body, it was still terrifying enough.

Two Susanoo.

One large and one small, one gold and one red.

Even in the history of the ninja world, there has never been such a shocking scene.

The remaining fifty Uchiha were ignited by this tragic and heroic spirit.

Their magatama spun wildly.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

"Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song!"

Driven to the brink, the Uchiha clan unleashed a fighting power that surpassed the limits of human capabilities.

Iwagakure was afraid.

They came to finish off the wounded, but instead encountered a pack of rabid dogs.

When that golden giant crushed an Iwagakure Jonin with a single stomp, when that red skull tore apart the Earth Flow Wall.

Fear prevailed over greed.

"Monsters—these people are monsters—"

"Retreat! The Uchiha clan still has fighting power!"

The commander of Iwagakure, seeing his troops reduced to more than half their original size, broke down psychologically.

If all five hundred of them are wiped out, he's finished too.

"withdraw!"

The rocks receded like the tide.

On the battlefield, only the Uchiha remained.

The golden Susanoo still stands tall.

"Chieftain—we won—"

Sōji released Susanoo and scrambled towards Fugaku.

but.

The golden giant began to disintegrate, transforming into countless golden specks of light.

Fugaku stood still.

He did not fall.

But he was no longer breathing.

His heart stopped beating, and his chakra was completely depleted.

Until his death, he maintained the posture of spreading his arms to protect his people behind him.

"Chieftain!!!"

Sōji knelt before Fugaku and let out a heart-wrenching howl.

The other members of the tribe also knelt down.

The cries echoed through the canyon.

Fugaku's body was still warm. His face remained as calm as ever.

"I'm entrusting my future to you."

These were the last words that Fugaku left for Sōji.

It wasn't through sound, but through the final resonance of the kaleidoscope's power, that it was directly imprinted in Sōji's mind.

Don't act impulsively—take your people back—find that person—

Only by living can revenge be taken.
