Saving the Uchiha clan starts with becoming the clan leader.

Having just opened her eyes, she is still exploring how to use this eye technique. Once she truly masters this power, she will be able to glimpse its power. However, even though she is still familiarizing herself with it, she has already made Hema and Tsuchigumo Shirou suffer greatly.

One by one, the subordinates who followed Kazuma and Tsuchigumo Shirotani died under that extremely fierce blade: Fugen, Fudo, Benten, Daikoku, Bishamon, and Hotei.

That wasn't split in two at all.

Instead, it was directly crushed into mud.

Only one of them, Fufeng, who had learned a peculiar secret technique, was not killed by Uchiha Chihaya's sword. Even so, he was barely clinging to life, only having the strength to run away. No one had any means of fighting back. Faced with Uchiha Chihaya's incredibly destructive blade, all their resistance was like a drop in the ocean, utterly futile.

Holding onto Tianmu and Ma, there was nothing they could do.

Even if he lost his Heavenly Eye, he was 100% certain that he was no match for Uchiha Chihaya. Although he possessed the forbidden technique, Rage of Heaven, the problem was that this forbidden technique required a relatively stable condition and a long enough time to accumulate power before it could unleash its full destructive power. However, in such an intense close-quarters battle, there was no way he could accumulate power.

"This can't go on any longer, Tsuchigumo Shirou, buy me some time."

He roared.

"Damn it, it's not that easy!"

Earth Spider White Wave was also filled with anger and fear.

His anger stemmed from his wretched state, while his fear arose from the woman who had brought him to this predicament.

After believing he had mastered the "Word Binding Technique," a secret technique passed down through generations of the Tsuchigumo clan, he was confident that no one could threaten his life. Of course, he wasn't arrogant enough to think he could single-handedly contend with an entire ninja village.

However, a woman who had already exhausted a lot of chakra was able to defeat him so badly that he had almost no chance to fight back.

This harsh reality is worlds apart from his invincible fantasy.

fear,

It arises spontaneously.

"This is our last chance. Fight to the death if you don't want to die."

Kazuma's anger was no less than that of Tsuchigumo Shiranami. He had made thorough preparations, but in the end, he still ended up in such a miserable situation. Uchiha... are all of this clan such unreasonable monsters?

He doesn't even have much time to get angry right now.

If he doesn't find a way to break the deadlock, he'll have no choice but to abandon Tianmu and Bufeng and flee alone.

But he would never choose this path until the very last step. Even he didn't have any more wealth to squander. Tianmu and Bufeng were his last remaining assets. If he abandoned these two subordinates, he would truly be all alone.

and--

If it were a Sen Uchiha, he would have been forced to abandon his subordinates and flee in a sorry state long ago.

What other skills do they have to attack Konoha?

So he didn't want to just run away. He wanted to stay and take a gamble. Not to mention that he didn't have a chance to use the forbidden technique "Raging Heaven" which had many restrictions, he had a trump card that he had been keeping hidden for several years: the forbidden technique "Soil of the Dead". He originally saved this move for when attacking Konoha, but he couldn't wait until then!

If we suffer a crushing defeat here,

I'm afraid they'll never be able to muster the will to destroy Konoha again.

"Don't forget, if I die, you'll never get what you want in this lifetime," Kazuma roared again.

This time,

Earth Spider White Wave was persuaded.

If it's the forbidden technique, "Raging Heaven"... perhaps, no, not perhaps, it's certain that it can take down this damned woman. As long as we can buy time for Kazuma to activate the forbidden technique, then we can turn this damned situation around.

"Five minutes, not three, two minutes, only two minutes."

Earth Spider White Wave gritted his teeth.

I've decided to take a gamble.

In terms of experience and knowledge, Tsuchigumo Shirou is of course no match for a seasoned veteran like Kazuma, but a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger! Tsuchigumo Shirou, who does not know what the Mangekyou Sharingan is, naturally has no fear in his heart. He trusts the forbidden technique passed down from generation to generation by his Tsuchigumo clan so much.

then,

He stopped his retreating steps.

A jet-black character '岩' appeared in the palm of his outstretched right hand.

【Word Binding Technique - Rock Binding】

Unlike the previously used [Word Binding Rock], 'Rock Binding' is a higher-level application of Word Binding Technique. 'Word Binding Rock' is a one-time release technique, just like ordinary Earth Escape Technique, while 'Rock Binding' is a technique that can be manipulated for a long time.

For example, now,

The rock and earth wall that rose from the ground was shattered by Uchiha Chihaya's sword, but the next second, a second rock and earth wall rose up, and a third, a fourth... an endless stream of rock and earth walls rose up, which actually brought some trouble to Uchiha Chihaya, who had not yet mastered her eye technique.

Take this opportunity

He Ma immediately revealed his trump card.

Seeing that Kazuma hadn't managed to escape, Tsuchigumo Shirou, feeling relieved, focused all his energy on the battle before him. He had given up hope of defeating this female monster in human skin, but he had to gain those two minutes no matter what.

Ten seconds, thirty seconds, fifty seconds, one minute and fifteen seconds...

"boom!"

Uchiha Chihaya's slash not only shattered all the rock and earth walls blocking her way, but also crushed the ground beneath her feet, creating a deep crater. Her control over the [Shina Hiko] eye ​​technique was constantly increasing. If we extrapolate from her combat power one minute and fifteen seconds ago, it was entirely possible for Tsuchigumo Shirou to last two minutes.

But unfortunately,

Chihaya Uchiha is currently in a peculiar phase where her combat power is continuously increasing.

Therefore,

Tsuchigumo Shirou was defeated in less than two minutes. Fortunately, he was quite clever and dodged Uchiha Chihaya's terrifying blade, avoiding being crushed into mincemeat. However, this did not bring him any joy or excitement.

He nervously turned his gaze to Kazuma.

This is the last hope.

If He Ma cannot turn the tide, they may really be doomed here today.

"Try this trick!"

Kazuma roared, his chest gleaming with a bright white light.

One minute

It was indeed a short and regrettable loss. The power accumulated in such a short time was not enough to destroy a town, and at most it could only turn a person into ashes. Fortunately, Kazuma was not praying to destroy this forest at the moment. Killing Uchiha Sen would have been enough.

As for,

An unidentified third party hiding in the shadows.

Let's deal with the immediate problem first before considering the future. If we can't solve Uchiha Chihaya's problem, then we probably won't need to think about the distant future.

Guided by the horse, the white light, filled with an aura of destruction, surged toward Uchiha Chihaya with lightning speed.

For this,

The black pentagram in Uchiha Chihaya's eyes slowly rotated.

Instead of dodging the destructive white light, she mustered all her strength and swung the vacuum blade in her hand, creating a huge, visible bluish-white slash that collided head-on with the destructive white light. In an instant, the light dispelled the darkness of the night.

The roar was so loud it felt like the sky was splitting open.

The relentless hot winds blow in all directions.

It took nearly ten seconds for the turbulent aftershocks to completely subside. Kazuma and Tsuchigumo Shirou's vision was obscured by the rising dust, preventing them from seeing where Uchiha Chihaya had been. They waited anxiously for the dust to settle.

A fierce, demonic wind howled past.

The dust was swept away completely.

Chihaya Uchiha stood motionless, completely unharmed. Her previous wave-cutting technique had perfectly neutralized Kazuma's forbidden technique, Raging Hair Heaven, without even a hair being grazed. This result was a devastating blow to Tsuchigumo Shiranai.

It's not just because Uchiha Chihaya is still alive.

More importantly, the forbidden family technique that he believed to be invincible in the world did not seem to be truly invincible. For a long time, he firmly believed that as long as he obtained this forbidden technique, Konoha, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure would all be worthless chickens and dogs in front of him, and could be destroyed at will.

However, this persistence was shattered by what he saw with his own eyes at that moment.

The forbidden technique, "Raging Heaven," is powerful, but it's not enough to conquer the ninja world. So, the reason why En no Gyoza was willing to stay at Mount Katsuragi wasn't because of his kind nature and unwillingness to cause bloodshed in the ninja world, but because... this forbidden technique simply couldn't conquer the ninja world, right?

Similar thoughts flooded the mind of Tsuchigumo Shirou.

An unprecedented despair gripped his heart. If his speculation was correct, then everything he had done so far would have been in vain.

"Very good, but... not enough."

Uchiha Chihaya raised the Vacuum Blade in her hand high.

"Hahaha!!" Kazuma suddenly burst into laughter. He looked at Uchiha Chihaya and said, "Look at the sky above! It's too late. If you don't want to die here with us, put down your sword."

Above our heads?

Uchiha Chihaya frowned slightly.

Just then, one after another, dazzling bolts of lightning shot into the sky, with a total of four lightning pillars distributed around. The dark clouds expanded at a visible speed, obscuring the soft moonlight that had finally fallen. Thunder rumbled in the sky, and one could feel the destructive aura emanating from them.

This is absolutely forbidden.

Another forbidden art specializing in destruction and killing.

Looking down from high above, one can see that the four pillars of lightning actually extend from the four people. The chakra fluctuations between the four people constantly resonate with each other, causing the dark clouds in the sky to churn violently, and the sound of muffled thunder to continue.

······

"That's great!"

Zongxian stood on the treetop, looking up at the four pillars of lightning that connected heaven and earth, and the dark clouds in the sky that seemed to be rolling like a raging tide. He couldn't help but let out a sincere exclamation of admiration.

Such a beautiful view,

Even he hadn't seen it many times.

Especially this pure aura of destruction... it's really rare to see!

"However... the heat is about right. If I overuse my eyes, it will be quite troublesome to recover. Let's stop here!" The murmured voice disappeared in the wind, and the figure on the treetop had disappeared along with the voice.

[Chapter 351. Forbidden Lightning Technique: Lightning Dream and Lightning Man]

"What's this?"

The one who said this,

It is the Earth Spider White Wave.
