Projection magicians starting from the Uchiha clan

"I hope Your Highness can gather the guards together so that I can deal with the traitor," Iori said calmly.

A hint of shock flashed in Kazaka Shoyuki's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and ordered, "Has the situation deteriorated to this extent? Alright, Santai, go and gather the guards."

"Yes!" Asama Santayu accepted the order and left.

Soon, the footsteps of the guards echoed in the square in front of the palace. They gathered together, whispering among themselves, while others looked around warily. An uneasy atmosphere filled the air.

Iori led the hypnotized spy to the front of the crowd, where the spy, under Iori's command, began mechanically identifying the traitor.

Some people looked panicked and tried to explain themselves, but under the hypnosis of the Sharingan, all pretense was useless.

Some were unwilling to surrender and tried to escape, but they were pinned to the wall by spears shot from the King's Treasury. Crimson blood slowly flowed down the wall, serving as a warning to the remaining people.

There was no pity in Iori's eyes. After the traitor he had pointed out was caught and killed, he was finally able to deal with the enemy with peace of mind.

He certainly didn't want to see himself dominating the front lines only to have his home stolen.

Some time later, Iori returned from outside the capital with Yuki. Yuki excitedly hugged Kazahana Hayayuki, her eyes sparkling with excitement, and talked incessantly about how Iori used ninjutsu to bring spring.

As Feng Huazaoxue listened to Xiaoxue's story, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, as if he had made an important decision in his heart.

He said to Iori, "Lord Uchiha Iori, after everything is over, I have something I want to talk to you about."

Iori nodded upon hearing this, feeling that the matter was likely related to the Snow Country's secret treasure, the geothermal machine.

As time went by, the wooden clone that Iori had sent to gather intelligence also returned from the outside world.

Upon seeing Iori, he reconnected with his own existence and transferred his memories to Iori.

Iori carefully analyzed the information gathered by her wooden clone and confirmed the enemy she would face next.

Chapter 156 Ice Release: Wolf Fang Avalanche

According to the information obtained by the wooden clone, there are only five people that Iori should pay attention to.

Jonin Tsurugi Fubuki and Jonin Fuyuki Toukuma, elite Jonin Wolf Fang Avalanche, Kazehana Nutō (who should have Kage-level combat power), and a mysterious person wearing a hood with strange chakra.

Iori suspects that the person was the "surprise" that Black Zetsu and Obito had prepared for him.

Leaving behind two wooden clones and ordering them to protect the Daimyo's residence, Iori bid farewell to the group, preparing to finish off the enemy in one fell swoop.

Fuuka Hayase and Asama Santayu looked at Iori and said, "May you have great success in your military endeavors."

Xiaoxue didn't understand what was going on, but seeing the serious expressions on their faces, she felt a sense of tension.

She also held up her little finger to Iori and said, "Big brother, you must come back!"

Iori smiled and reached out her hand to make a pinky promise with her: "Then it's a promise, I will come back with victory."

He turned and left Daimyo's residence. Although Fuka Saya and Asama Santayu were filled with worry, they knew that all they could do was pray quietly and not hold him back.

"Secret Technique: Heroic Spirit Clone Technique." Iori formed hand seals, and a phantom figure slowly emerged from his body.

"Class Infusion: Sbear." With his command, the clone's appearance gradually became clear, as if it had been given life.

Two katanas appeared out of thin air in the clone's hands, gleaming with a cold light. "Niten Ichi-ryu - Uchiha Iori, here!"

The enemy was divided into two groups: three Snow Ninja Jonin were hiding in a secret camp outside the capital, while Fuuka Nutō and the mysterious man were in a mansion in the capital.

To prevent the Snow Ninja from launching a sneak attack on the capital while she was fighting the Wind Flower Angry Waves and the Mysterious Man, Iori decided to use her Heroic Spirit clones to deal with them.

"Then I'll leave Wolf Fang Avalanche and the others to you," he said to his clone.

"Leave it to me," the clone replied.

The two parted ways in the city; one moved silently out of the city like a shadow, while the other strode towards the mansion of wind, flowers, and raging waves.

-----------------

Iori's sword clone silently arrived outside the Snow Ninja's hidden camp. Looking at the laxly guarded camp, he revealed a cruel smile.

"To be so lax on the battlefield, you'll pay for this lesson with your lives!"

The sword clone silently disappeared into the darkness, blending into the night, and approached the camp without a sound.

The snow ninjas in the camp seemed completely unprepared for the attack; the ninjas on guard duty were even dozing off.

The sword clone appeared behind him like a ghost, slashing his throat with a clean and swift motion, without making a sound.

After killing more than a dozen ninjas, the stench of blood finally filled the entire camp, awakening the others.

After realizing he could no longer hide, the sword clone revealed himself openly.

However, his expression was not good, because the three Jonin of the Snow Village were not here, so he had made a wasted trip.

Faced with the sword clones' direct charge, the Chunin and Genin had no ability to resist.

Their kunai, water-style techniques, and even ice-style techniques were easily torn apart like fragile paper in the face of the sword energy casually unleashed by the sword clone.

The sword clones wielded their katana, each swing accompanied by the loss of life, like the Grim Reaper's scythe reaping.

Dozens of seconds later, the sword clone sheathed its blade, leaving only a pile of corpses and blood on the ground in the camp.

The sword clone stood in the pool of blood, his expression troubled. He thought to himself, "Where did Wolf Fang and Avalanche go? Could they have gone to attack Daming Prefecture? This is troublesome."

[Since the clones can't unleash Infinite Blade Works, many people in the city are likely to die.]

"Ice Release: Wolf Fang Avalanche".

"Ice Release: Dragon-Slaying Tiger".

Ice Release: Ice Prison Technique

Just as the sword clone was in distress, the distant snow mountain suddenly collapsed, and the falling snow waves transformed into a pack of white wolves, rushing towards the sword clone with a howling wind.

The ice beneath his feet suddenly surged up, like ice snakes spreading from his feet toward his body, attempting to bind him.

The snow in the distance transformed into a fierce tiger, pouncing towards him with a sharp and menacing aura.

The sword clone was not alarmed but delighted. He was not afraid of the enemy coming; he was afraid that the enemy would not come.

"Magic Release: Flame." With a thought, the sword clone transformed chakra into flames, which coiled around him, forming a suit of armor of fire that melted the ice prison on his body.

Flames snaked upwards along his twin swords, and his sword clone wielded the swords, unleashing a continuous barrage of sword energy: "Uchiha Style: Fire and Wind Dance".

The sword energies intertwined, forming a storm of fire that engulfed both the tiger and the pack of wolves.

This firestorm, like the flames of purgatory, mercilessly devoured everything.

Under the relentless slashes of the sword clone, the originally ferocious avalanche was gradually melted by the high temperature, turning into snowmelt that flowed across the land.

After defusing the attack, Iori stopped what she was doing. Wolf Fang Avalanche and the other two stood on the glacier, their faces grim, their hearts filled with resentment and anxiety.

Their meticulously prepared ambush failed to achieve its goal, and they began to worry about their chances of victory.

The sword clone looked at them and asked, "Can you tell me who that hooded guy is? If you tell me, I might spare your lives."

Seeing the sword clone's confident demeanor, the group felt deeply insulted, and anger flared within them.

"Don't think you've got us figured out!" They exchanged a glance, then quickly gathered together, pressing their hands tightly together, and channeling their chakra into Wolf Fang Avalanche's hands.

The sword clone watched this scene with great interest; it seemed that this move had not been seen in the movie.

"Ice Release: One-Horned White Whale Swarm." The three said in unison. As chakra gathered, five enormous white whales formed from ice and snow leaped from the ground and crashed down on the sword clone.

Seeing the five white whales descending from the sky, the sword clone quickly formed hand seals, replicating the opponent's technique.

"Ice Release: One-Horned White Whale Swarm"

Seeing the sword clone's movements, the group showed indifference. How could a copied ninjutsu possibly be a match for the ninjutsu they had practiced for years and used together?

However, when the white whale created by the sword clone leaped out of the ground, a deep despair appeared on their faces.

One of the white whales created by the sword was much larger than all five white whales they had created combined, and their white whales crumbled upon impact.

Iori's five white whales descended from the sky with tremendous force, crashing down on the group.

Faced with this terrifying attack, they could only resort to their last defensive measure: "Ice Release: Ice Wall."

The enormous attack range of the white whale left them nowhere to escape, forcing them to futilely use defensive ninjutsu in the hope that they could survive the cataclysmic power.

Chapter 157 Ice Release: Twin Dragon Storm Kill

A massive beluga whale descended from the sky, its enormous body crashing onto the glacier like a meteorite, creating a deafening roar.

The glacier cracked under its immense pressure, and the fissures spread rapidly, scattering like a spider web, with ice fragments flying everywhere.

The sword clone slowly walked over. Crane Wing Snowstorm and Winter Bear Ice Rain had already died tragically under the weight of the white whale. Only Wolf Fang Avalanche, despite being seriously injured, was still struggling stubbornly.

A flicker of resentment flashed in Wolf Fang Avalanche's eyes, his voice hoarse and weak: "Damn it... if only the Chakra Armor had worked... I definitely wouldn't have lost so badly..."

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes lost their light, and the breath of life vanished.

The sword clone shook his head slightly. The chakra armor was indeed very powerful, as it could amplify the amount of chakra within the body and enhance various ninjutsu.

It can also build a chakra defense barrier around the body to neutralize the opponent's chakra attacks, and even reverse the opponent's chakra, rendering various ninjutsu and genjutsu ineffective.

However, when faced with taijutsu (physical techniques) and chakra exceeding the armor's processing limits, the armor's power becomes inadequate.

Even if they fought face-to-face, the outcome would still be predetermined.

He bent down and carefully peeled the remains of the armor off their bodies, placing them into the King's Treasury.

As for their bodies, he ignored them, letting the wind and snow cover them, making them part of this cold earth.

The sword clone stood up, looked around, and a trace of worry welled up in its heart: "Alright, I wonder how things are on the main body. I hope everything goes smoothly."

His figure gradually faded into the distance, leaving only a pile of corpses that gradually blurred in the wind and snow, eventually being swallowed up by this merciless white world.

-----------------

Iori stepped into Fuuka Nuta's mansion, activated his chakra senses, but found no trace of Fuuka Nuta.

"Strange, where is Feng Hua Nu Tao?" He was a little confused, so he quietly sneaked into the depths of the mansion.

Inside the house, he found a man who appeared to be of high status, busily directing the servants.

Iori walked in confidently, and before they could even speak, he used his Sharingan to scan everyone present, instantly drawing them into a genjutsu.

Under the control of the illusion, they spilled all the information like beans pouring from a bamboo tube.

"In the afternoon, a distinguished guest brought news that Lord Feng Hua Nu Tao had arranged to meet the guest outside and was not currently in the city."

"A distinguished guest? Let me go and see who it is?" Iori laughed.
