Saving the Uchiha clan starts with becoming the clan leader.

The destruction caused in the illusion was reflected in reality without any discernible difference.

This is the essence of the Kurama clan's bloodline limit, [Five Senses Domination]—

[Transformation into Reality].

She was also the most relaxed of the three, not only because her bloodline limit was quite powerful, but also because the girl possessed an innate and enormous mental strength that amazed even Sogen. Therefore, strictly speaking, she was a monster with unfathomable endurance, just like Naruto.

That's why she ignored Chihaya-sensei's orders and didn't use physical techniques in the fight.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that her bloodline limit hadn't been developed to a high level yet, and she wasn't able to unleash the advantage of her naturally enormous spiritual power, to put it dramatically, it would be like she has a lake, but can only use buckets to draw water. In other words, she lacks powerful attack methods.

It stands to reason,

The Kurama clan's bloodline limit, [Five Senses Domination], is not bound by techniques. It can project the results of illusions into reality at will. However, being able to do whatever one wants does not mean being omnipotent. She can summon meteors to fall from the sky in the illusion, but the size of the meteors is limited, as is the height from which they fall.

The greater the scope and depth of interference in the real world, the more linearly the difficulty of controlling it increases.

Currently, she cannot summon a meteor to completely wipe out the surrounding zombies without harming herself and her teammates. She can only realize the effect of the lightning strike on a small scale, which is the best she can do at the moment.

In fact, Yakumo's performance was already excellent.

As expected, Fujika and Hotaru were now locked in a fierce battle.

They weren't as gifted as Yakumo. Although their chakra reserves were among the highest of their peers, they still couldn't compare to Yakumo and Naruto. They didn't dare to fight recklessly, as this wasn't Konoha and they weren't sure if reinforcements would arrive. So they obediently followed Chihaya-sensei's instructions.

Try to fight using physical techniques.

Fortunately, the weapons the girls used were all swords, and not kotachi, but katanas that were over a meter long.

This is not surprising.

Fujika is a member of the Uchiha clan, and Uchiha-style swordsmanship is a compulsory subject for her. Hotaru is a disciple of Sogen and has also learned a swordsmanship that Sogen specially adjusted so that it does not require the Sharingan. Although their swords are not as famous as the Kusanagi Sword Vacuum Blade in Uchiha Chihaya's hands, they are chakra weapons forged by the best weapon craftsmen in Konoha.

Therefore,

Relying on their excellent swordsmanship, they were able to accurately strike the zombies' necks, while the sharp katana in their hands saved them some effort, easily severing the zombies' heads and sending these poor creatures back to dust.

But these zombies aren't the kind that just tear things apart like wild beasts.

Many of them were highly skilled and could unleash ninjutsu. Although none of them were particularly advanced and their destructive power was quite ordinary, it was enough to cause the girls a great deal of trouble, forcing them to use ninjutsu and secret techniques to fight back. Even so, they still couldn't defend against all the attacks.

Saying he was covered in wounds would be a bit of an exaggeration.

But the two once beautiful and lovely girls are now covered in dirt and grime, their arms are covered in wounds, and they look miserable. What's even more despairing is that their chakra is almost depleted. If this continues, their chakra will be completely exhausted in about a minute.

however--

At this point, they still hadn't seen the edge of the zombie horde.

Chihaya Uchiha desperately tried to fight her way out, but there were just too many corpses blocking her path. Even the 'Wind of Death' couldn't overcome this barrier.

Kazuma's collection of corpses began five years ago. He didn't just hunt in the Land of Fire; he also traveled to the Land of Lightning, the Land of Wind, the Land of Earth, and many other small countries. Everywhere he went, one ninja family, ninja village, and wandering ninja group after another was buried in history, accumulating an astronomical number.

honestly,

The loss was so small that Ma didn't care at all. After all, the ninja world was so big that there was never a shortage of ninjas. And it wasn't just ninjas; the samurai of the Land of Iron were also excellent material. If the number of people was not enough, they could just go and replenish them.

Anyway,

The massive, despairing horde of zombies piled up to form a high wall that blocked the 'wind of death' from blowing.

"Chihaya-sensei, I'm nearing my limit. The soldier pills are no longer effective."

Fujika's curiosity about zombies had plummeted to rock bottom. The pain and exhaustion in her body constantly reminded her how weak she was, and the so-called genius title she had been given at the ninja academy was nothing but a piece of waste paper.

They did not stubbornly insist on acting recklessly at this time.

She shouted at the top of her lungs, reporting her situation, her scarlet eyes filled with resentment and despair.

"I'm almost out of energy too."

Ying also forced herself to take a deep breath.

As he spoke, he swung the katana wreathed in wind blades and beheaded another zombie.

But her hands were trembling.

She might be able to swing the knife many more times with her willpower, but she might also lose all strength the next time she swings the knife, losing her last bit of resistance.

At this moment,

The sky was still dark, the vast sea of ​​clouds blocked the moonlight like water, and there was no sign of the rising sun on the horizon... Judging from the rate of chakra consumption, it should be around two or three in the morning. The night was still very long.

As dawn approaches,

It seems like it's still a long way off.

"Damn it! Get out of my way!!!"

Known for his calm demeanor and bloodthirsty nature, the "Death Wind" of the clan now displayed a savage rage. His Kusanagi sword, Vacuum Blade, unleashed a flurry of slashes, shredding all the zombies that blocked his path. But the next second, new zombies surged forward, including a large number of advanced beings capable of unleashing ninjutsu.

Faced with this disgusting and shameless tactic,

Feeling the depletion of chakra within his body, and the backlash pain from consuming too many soldier pills.

Chihaya Uchiha bit her lip until it bled. Not good at expressing her emotions, she felt as if a volcano was reviving inside her, weighing heavily on her heart, filled with a torrent of emotions like lava.

"Wisteria, Firefly, stay close to me."

Yakumo was extremely anxious at this moment.

She had been keeping a close eye on her companions' condition. The problem was that although she was in good shape, she wasn't exactly in complete control. Unlike Naruto, who was born with a huge amount of chakra, she only had a huge amount of mental strength, which allowed her to fully unleash her bloodline limit and use genjutsu to fight. However, she couldn't create enough shadow clones to support her companions.

however,

Fujika and Hotaru have truly reached their limit.

The vines struck the zombie's neck, but failed to completely cleave its head off. Instead, a pair of bluish-gray hands reached out and grabbed her katana, snatching it from her grasp. The next second, another hand emerged from below and grabbed the girl's ankle.

In the blink of an eye,

The wisteria was swallowed up by the horde of corpses.

Amidst Yakumo's furious roars, Hotaru followed in Fujika's footsteps and vanished, leaving Yakumo alone, struggling to cope. Uchiha Senja, who witnessed everything but was unable to lend a helping hand due to the zombies' obstruction, was enraged to the extreme at this moment.

The volcano in my heart

It has fully recovered.

What surged forth was not only anger towards the enemy, but also hatred for one's own incompetence, and intense sorrow for not being able to save Fujika and Hotaru.

"Give me back the wisteria and the fireflies!!!"

Chihaya Uchiha swung her sword once more, cutting down a large number of zombies in front of her. She opened her eyes wide and looked in the direction where Fujika and Hotaru had disappeared, but she saw nothing. Only Yakumo was still struggling to hold on. The complex and intense emotions rushed up with her blood, and her eyes suddenly felt a sharp pain like being pricked by needles.

The world before our eyes,

In that instant, a complete upheaval occurred.

"This is······"

[Chapter 349. Is it a Mangekyou Sharingan eye technique?]

As Fujika and Hotaru were swallowed up by the zombie horde, Tsuchigumo Shirou, who was watching all this from afar with night vision binoculars, was overjoyed. He immediately turned to Kazuma and said, "We have the person. Now, please hand them over to me as agreed!"

As he spoke, he gestured to his subordinates behind him.

Benten and other subordinates of Tsuchigumo Shirou began refining their chakra, ready to strike at any moment.

Be patient!

Kazuma glared unhappily at the impatient purple-haired brat. "Tenmoku, Bufeng, Dongbu, Buyuan, you all better behave yourselves. We're not at the stage of fighting and dividing the spoils yet! I didn't capture those two brats at all."

These words,

Earth Spider White Waves didn't believe it at all.

Instead, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. He felt that Kazuma was preparing to take all the benefits for himself and was already signaling his subordinates to take action and kill Kazuma and his group of treacherous old fools, returning the Tsuchigumo Hotaru and the forbidden technique, Wrath of Heaven, to him, the 'original owner'.

Not only did Tsuchigumo Shirou disbelieve it,

Even Ma's subordinates, including Feng, Budong, and Buyuan, did not believe their boss's words. They knew very well that their boss had long since exhausted the trick of going back on his word. Their boss's use of such deceptive nonsense was clearly an indication that he was planning to monopolize everything again.

only--

What they didn't know was that this time it was Ma's true feelings.

He was furious. He really hadn't kidnapped the two girls. The dead summoned by the forbidden technique "Soil of the Dead" were of different levels. The low-level cannon fodder couldn't execute complex commands. Only a very few high-level dead could execute commands such as capturing them alive.

Before he could even make a move with the high-ranking dead he had arranged to capture Uchiha Fujika and Tsuchigumo Hotaru, his prey had already vanished in a flash. And to make matters worse, he had no evidence to prove that the girls hadn't been captured by him.

That's infuriating!

Especially when he felt the deep meaning in his subordinates' eyes, which were filled with "Boss, we understand you" and "Should we make the first move?", he felt even more pained. At the same time, he was trying his best to squeeze his brain, thinking about who dared to snatch food from the tiger's mouth and how to appease the Earth Spider Shiro and others.

Even if a fight is really going to break out, at least wait until you've got your prey!

If word got out that they were fighting tooth and nail for prey that hadn't yet been caught, people would laugh their heads off.

Unfortunately, he didn't have an IQ over 200. No matter how many brain cells he killed in that short moment, he couldn't come up with any solution and just wasted a lot of brain cells.

They were on the verge of a major crisis.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the two groups will start a fierce battle in the next second, resulting in a life-or-death struggle!

But at that moment,

accident,

It actually happened!

Although they may not welcome such an unexpected event.

The commotion from afar interrupted the classic drama of 'internal strife' that was about to unfold. Both groups sensed the deep malice and terrifying killing intent emanating from afar. At the center of the distant horde of corpses, a colossal, emerald-colored, skull-like creature emerged, its form towering over the deep forest, resembling a hill, majestic and unshakeable.

exactly,

The clouds have parted and the moon is now out.

The clear moonlight, like flowing water, poured down, draping the emerald-colored behemoth in a silver veil, adding a touch of unusual beauty.

Without the aid of a telescope, the shape of the enormous creature could be clearly seen by the moonlight. Well... upon closer inspection, it appeared to be a giant humanoid skeleton with emerald flames swirling around its bones.

"That is..."

Kazuma squinted, gazing at the enormous, emerald-colored creature.
