A massive fireball, several times larger and incredibly hot than a normal fire-style technique, roared out and crashed precisely into the oil-soaked snake swarm!
"Boom..."
A giant lotus of fire exploded in the air! The scalding oil and fire mixed together and burned fiercely on the flying serpent demon's scales and wings.
The piercing hiss of snakes echoed through the sky, and countless burning snake bodies fell from the air like dumplings being dropped into a pot, crashing to the ground and raising plumes of black smoke and the smell of burning.
"You idiot, you bottom runner! Stop focusing on clearing out the weaklings! The target is in that direction!"
Uchiha Sasuke's cold voice came from not far away.
He did not activate Susanoo, but the Mangekyou Sharingan, which he had activated under the personal "guidance" of his adoptive father Uchiha Sō, was already slowly rotating in his scarlet pupils, radiating a chilling aura.
His Kusanagi sword was crackling with lightning, and each swing brought with it the piercing cry of a thousand birds. He easily cut any demons that dared to approach in two, his movements swift and clean, with a kind of artistic beauty in his killing.
His sharp gaze swept deeper into the battlefield, to a valley shrouded in strange, crimson, demonic clouds.
According to the information they "accidentally" obtained, their adoptive father, Uchiha Sō, seemed to "admire" the legendary, unruly, fire-riding demon horse "Flame Hoof".
The creature, whose owner is said to be an auspicious omen for all of Japan, seems to have recently "reappeared."
Its lair is located beneath that red cloud.
"I know, I know! Stop nagging!"
Naruto grumbled in dissatisfaction, but his body betrayed him, charging headlong in the direction Sasuke pointed, his golden figure carving a path through the demon horde.
"It's just a horse! We'll catch it and give it to my godfather as a mount, that'll definitely be cool! Watch me!"
"Idiot, that's no ordinary horse."
Sasuke snorted coldly, his figure moving like lightning, closely following Naruto's flank. His Kusanagi sword transformed into a deadly net of lightning, annihilating all the demons attempting to attack Naruto from the side.
"Don't be careless. Intelligence says it's extremely fast, its demonic fire ignites instantly upon contact, and it has strength approaching that of a great demon."
The two were like two peerless blades, one gold and one blue (Sasuke's lightning chakra), cutting through the chaotic demon army with unstoppable momentum, their target the eerie red valley.
Wherever it passed, it left behind only the charred corpses and remains of demons, and a death path forcibly carved out, burning with flames and leaping with lightning.
……
Far from the hustle and bustle of the main battlefield, we ventured deep into the heart of Kansai, into a swamp shrouded in perpetual filth and miasma.
The air was as thick as solidified grease, emitting a foul stench of rotting plants and a strong, pungent smell of blood.
The towering ancient trees were twisted and bizarre, their branches covered with slippery moss and dark purple fungi. Huge spider webs, like pale shrouds, hung layer upon layer among the trees, with the shriveled corpses of various small monsters and birds stuck to them.
The ground beneath their feet was a bottomless swamp, bubbling with dark green bubbles that released a dizzying toxic fumes when they burst.
Kakashi Hatake, Might Guy, Itachi Uchiha, and Shino Aburame moved at high speed silently along the edge of the rotting wood and mud, like four shadows blending into the environment.
They were covered by a thin chakra membrane, which protected them from most of the poisonous miasma.
"Target area, 3 o'clock ahead, 500 meters away."
Aburame Shino's voice, deep and clear, reached the ears of the other three through the miniature communicator.
Beneath his large sunglasses, countless tiny parasites were continuously flying out from his cuffs and collar, silently merging into this filthy environment and becoming his extended senses.
"Insect swarm feedback indicates an energy anomaly and persistent, subtle fluctuations in space, consistent with 'nest' characteristics. The source of interference is strong, the concentration of demonic energy is extremely high, and there are multiple high-energy reactions."
"learn."
Kakashi's exposed right eye was sharp as a knife, scanning the area in front of him shrouded in an even denser, almost solidified, purplish-black miasma.
There, one could vaguely see the outline of a huge nest, constructed of countless pale skeletons and writhing fleshy vines, like a giant, pulsating, ugly heart.
"Itachi, Shino, stay alert. Guy, be prepared for any high-intensity direct confrontation. According to the information and coordinates provided by the Heavenly Emperor, this is one of the 'Spider's' lairs."
"Leave it to me, Kakashi!"
Might Guy flashed his gleaming white teeth, rubbed his nose hard with his thumb, and burned with fierce fighting spirit in his eyes. His green bodysuit remained conspicuous even in the dim light.
"The passion of youth burns brightest in places like this! No matter what demons or monsters lurk within, my Leaf Whirlwind will shatter them all!"
Uchiha Itachi nodded silently, his three-tomoe Sharingan slowly rotating in the shadows, its crimson light flickering faintly.
His left hand unconsciously touched his right eye.
There, sealed away is the power of the Rinnegan from the Heavenly Emperor Uchiha Eboshi, like a dormant volcano, his greatest trump card for this trip.
A cold yet vast sense of power faintly emanated from behind the seal.
"action!"
Kakashi let out a low shout, his figure blurring instantly as he charged towards the core of that filth.
The four of them shot through the dense miasma barrier like arrows released from a bow.
The sight before me was chilling.
The enormous nest was formed by countless thick, dark red vines that pulsated like blood vessels, their surfaces covered with a viscous black liquid.
The gaps in the vines were studded with countless white bones of humans, monsters, and even enormous beasts, their empty eye sockets seemingly offering silent accusations. In the center of the lair was a gigantic, writhing tumor that secreted foul-smelling slime, like a beating heart.
At the entrance to the nest, and on the twisted tree trunks all around, stood seven figures!
They came in all shapes and sizes, some ferocious, some eerie, some handsome yet malevolent, but without exception, they all exuded a powerful and violent demonic aura, far surpassing any of the miscellaneous soldiers they had encountered before.
The Seven!
After discovering the rise of Uchiha Zō, Naraku was forced to reveal many of his "trump cards" ahead of schedule.
After being resurrected using the Shikon Jewel, he transformed into his most powerful direct clone!
"Hehehe... Another reckless little bug has wandered in."
A child with a spiky ponytail, carrying a huge scythe, and with half his face rotting, let out a strange, shrill laugh; this was none other than the Fiend Bone.
"Hmph, Lord Naraku is indeed a man of great foresight, anticipating that rats would come to disturb us."
A handsome yet eerily beautiful man holding a flute spoke coldly: "It's Snake Bone."
"Human flesh and blood...it's been so long since I've tasted anything fresh..."
A monster, as fat as a mountain and with huge fangs, licked its lips, its saliva dripping onto the ground and corroding into white smoke—this was the Bone Refining Technique.
"Stop talking nonsense, tear them to pieces!"
A burly man covered in steel armor and wielding two swords roared in a deep voice, "It's Mist Bone."
“That guy with the mask has good eyesight; I want his eyes as a collectible.”
A glamorous woman dressed in revealing clothes and holding a huge fan, Jabone, giggled, but her gaze was coldly fixed on Kakashi.
"Let's do it!"
The cloaked figure at the head of the group, with the deepest aura and wielding two swords (Bankotsu), coldly swung his arm down.
Seven powerful demonic energies erupted instantly!
The giant scythe of the ferocious bone tore through the air, slashing towards Kakashi, who was charging at the forefront, with a shrill shriek!
The sound of the snake bone flute suddenly became sharp and piercing, and the invisible sound waves were like countless steel needles, piercing straight into the brains of the four people!
Lian Gu opened its massive maw and spewed out scorching, highly corrosive green demonic fire!
The twin blades of the Mist Bone stirred up a foul-smelling gust of wind!
Sleep Bone's poisonous claws, Silver Bone's iron fists, and Snake Bone's giant fan unleashed a whirlwind of venom... Seven deadly attacks, like a net from heaven and earth, instantly enveloped Kakashi and his companions!
"Rachel!"
Kakashi's eyes flashed with a cold light, and his right hand instantly erupted with blindingly violent lightning, accompanied by the deafening cry of a thousand birds!
Instead of retreating, he advanced, his arms, crackling with lightning, like the sharpest spear, fiercely meeting the giant scythe that was cleaving down with ferocious bones!
clang--!!
A piercing clang of metal clashing echoed throughout the lair! Lightning and demonic energy collided violently, erupting in dazzling sparks!
The rotten wood beneath Kakashi's feet instantly shattered and sank, but he managed to withstand this powerful blow!
"Eight Gates Formation, Sixth Gate, View Gate—Open!!!"
At the same time, Matt Kai let out a deafening roar!
A violent burst of green steam erupted from his body like a volcanic eruption!
The mud beneath their feet evaporated instantly, leaving a large crater!
His already formidable aura instantly surged to a terrifying level, his skin turned crimson, and his veins bulged out like writhing dragons!
"Morning Peacock!!"
Kai's figure transformed into a green flash and vanished from the spot in an instant!
The next moment, countless fist shadows burning with green flames appeared out of thin air like a rainstorm, hitting the overwhelming green demonic fire, poisonous whirlwind, iron fists and sharp claws with perfect accuracy!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The explosions, as dense as drumbeats, continued in one continuous burst!
The green flames of the fists clashed and annihilated the attacks of the Seven Heroes!
The demonic fire spewed out by the Bone Refiner was forcefully shattered and rolled back!
The venomous wind from the snake bone fan was torn apart by the fist! The venomous claws of the sleeping bone sizzled as they were burned by the scorching fist wind!
Silverbone's iron fist was directly struck by Kai's fist, producing a dull thud that forced Silverbone to retreat repeatedly!
"Secret Technique: Insect Devouring Realm!"
Shino Aburame formed hand seals, her eyes behind her sunglasses icy cold.
Om-!
Countless parasitic insects surged out from under his wide robes like a black tide, some forming thick insect walls that stubbornly resisted the sound waves and the remaining poisonous gas.
The other part, like maggots clinging to bones, ignored his defenses and frantically pounced on the Sleeping Bone and Snake Bone closest to him!
The tiny yet incredibly sharp mandibles frantically tore at their demonic energy shields and bodies, producing a teeth-grinding gnawing sound.
"Ugh! Damn bugs!"
Sleepy Bone let out a painful roar, trying to swat at the swarm of insects on its body, but to little avail.
Snake Bone's expression changed slightly. He fanned his huge fan in an attempt to disperse the swarm of insects, but the number of parasitic insects was simply too great and too dense, and they kept coming one after another.
