The Hidden Grass Village is now a mere shell of its former self, supposedly devoured by so-called "vengeful spirits."

But how is that possible?

Isn't that a secret technique of the Uzumaki clan?

What's the deal with these Uchiha clan members who have Sharingan?

Has Konoha committed some heinous act, and is it destined to follow in the footsteps of Kusagakure tonight?!

"Stop them," Hiruzen Sarutobi said gravely. "We must not let them enter the underground shelters or any places where people gather!"

But how do we stop them?

Ninjutsu is ineffective, genjutsu is ineffective...

A fierce glint flashed in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes. He instantly appeared behind a Hollow, raised his hand to form a hand seal, and slammed it onto the black body, roaring, "Sealing Evil Seal!"

Several marks composed of complex runes emerged from his palm, gradually covering the body of the 'Hollow' and interrupting the 'Hollow's' process of absorbing the souls of the Konoha ninjas.

"Sealing jutsu is feasible!" Hiruzen Sarutobi's fierce shout rang out across the chaotic battlefield. "Sealing team! Anyone else who knows sealing jutsu, the rest of you, coordinate and attack together!"

However, reality is incredibly cruel. People who can master sealing techniques are already scarce, let alone in the case of a surprise attack in the dead of night and a hasty response.

Apart from Hiruzen Sarutobi and a few other sealing squad ninjas who mastered sealing techniques, most people were completely helpless against these bizarre and terrifying "hollows"!

"Let me give it a try!"

A Jonin from the Aburame clan gritted his teeth and stepped forward, a swarm of insects pouring out from his raised sleeve as he attempted to cast a binding insect technique.

But as soon as the swarm of insects got close, they were corroded by the cold aura emanating from it, and large numbers of them died and fell to the ground.

"Earth Release: Heart Beheading Technique!"

"Tudun·Tulao Tangwu!"

Two Konoha ninjas skilled in Earth Release formed hand seals, attempting to trap the Hollow with mud and an earthen prison.

But the earthen prison was shattered by Hollow's Cero, along with several ninjas, turning into a bloody mist. Only the swamp created by "Earth Release: Heart Decapitation Technique" was effective, but Hollow quickly broke free.

"Shadow techniques and illusions are ineffective! Physical attacks are ineffective! Ninjutsu is also barely effective!"

Nara Shikaku's mind raced, cold sweat gradually soaking his back: "Is the only way to hold on with sealing techniques? But..."

The complex runes on the 'Void' that was previously sealed with the "Evil-Sealing Seal" gradually faded away, and it opened its huge mouth again to gather the red beam of light.

Even sealing techniques can't last long?!

What the hell is this?

Hiruzen Sarutobi was currently using the "Sealing Evil Seal" to suppress the 'Hollow,' and large beads of sweat mixed with rainwater slowly rolled down his aged face.

He could clearly feel the icy, bone-chilling coldness seeping into his arm.

His arm muscles trembled slightly, and his fingers began to stiffen and become numb.

Seemingly sensing the threat, the other unrestrained Hollows turned around, their crimson Sharingan locking onto Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was being sealed and unable to move.

Kaka!

Several 'Void' creatures suddenly opened their enormous mouths, revealing pale white masks, and dark red energy frantically gathered and compressed within them.

"not good!"

"Stop them!"

"Protect the three generations of adults!"

Upon seeing this, the expressions on the faces of all the Konoha ninjas changed. They abandoned their targets and rushed forward without hesitation, using ninjutsu to deflect the shots that were deviating from the trajectories of the 'Cero'.

However, there is still one left.

It cunningly hid in the shadows a little further away, and at this moment it opened its huge mouth, and dark red energy rapidly formed in its mouth!

It locked onto Hiruzen Sarutobi's unsuspecting back.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sensed the deadly threat behind him, and the chilling aura made him instinctively want to stop the seal.

But at this time.

hum! !

A piercing sound, like tearing fabric, suddenly came from the rain-soaked night sky above everyone's heads!

Immediately afterwards, a figure descended from the sky with a sharp aura, gripping the hilt of a knife tightly with both hands, the tip of the blade pointing downwards!

puff! !

The dull thud of a sharp blade piercing a tough object echoed as it pierced the upper jaw of the "phantom" giant mouth, sinking deep into its mouth until the hilt was completely inside!

The immense impact pinned the "hollow" head and body to the ground!

"Kumokawa-sama!"

Upon seeing the figure descending from the sky, the surrounding Konoha ninja were startled, but their expressions quickly changed as they shouted, "Watch out! Physical attacks have no effect on it..."

Hyuga Kumokawa ignored the shouts around him, his pure Byakugan eyes fixed on the ground beneath his feet.

The energy in 'Xu's' mouth dissipated instantly due to the penetration, and it struggled frantically to shake off the figure on its body.

But Hinata Kumokawa suddenly exerted force with both hands, and his wrists gripping the blade twisted instantly!

The wind-style chakra wrapped around the blade erupted instantly, shooting out like countless incredibly sharp tiny blades!

Click! Click! Click!

The bone surface covering the 'hollow' face was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks under the impact of this force from the inside out!

boom! !

With a muffled bang, the incredibly hard bone mask shattered into pale fragments that scattered everywhere!

Immediately, the black, faceless body expanded and twisted violently like a balloon, and then...

boom! !

A burst of cold air exploded outwards, causing his wide robes to flutter loudly.

The reminders that everyone was trying to give were completely blocked in their throats. They were as silent as chickens and ducks with their necks being choked, and their eyes were full of surprise and doubt when they looked at Hinata Kumokawa.

Hinata Kumokawa actually killed those monsters?!

Chapter 174 The Eye Technique: The Fate of the Weeping Swamp Woman!

The entire process, from appearance to kill, took only a moment.

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a chill run down his spine, and the deadly threat vanished instantly. He turned around abruptly and saw Hyuga Kumokawa.

"Third generation sir."

Hyuga Kumokawa sheathed his sword, looked up at Sarutobi Hiruzen, and said in a deep voice, "The weakness of these monsters is their masks. We must use our swords to shatter their masks in order to kill them completely!"

"Only swords and knives are allowed; other weapons won't do!"

As they spoke, the Anbu ninjas following Hyuga Kumokawa also gathered around. Although they had suffered many casualties, they joined the battle without hesitation.

Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes narrowed, and he ordered without hesitation, "Attack the masks of these monsters with your swords! Those without swords, provide cover!"

With the order issued and the shocking scene of Hyuga Kumokawa killing the Hollow, the Konoha ninjas, who had been helpless against the Hollow's mass killings, seemed to have found their backbone.

The fear in his eyes lessened, replaced by a calm resolve.

Ninjas without swords gritted their teeth and used kunai and ninjutsu to block and draw away the attacks of the Hollows, desperately covering for others who used swords and creating opportunities for them.

Among these Konoha ninja, the members of the Anbu were particularly noteworthy.

Despite their fear, a light gleamed in their eyes.

Among those ANBU ninjas, the most ruthless was actually a female ninja with long purple hair.

Facing the oncoming Hollow, the eyes beneath the mask were eager to fight, and without the slightest hesitation, the blade was raised.

"Konoha Style Swordsmanship: Dance of the Three Suns and Moons!"

With a sharp shout, her figure blurred instantly!

Swish!Swish!

Two shadow clones, identical to her original body, separated from her body instantly like reflections in water and the moon. The three figures formed a triangular shape, surrounding the 'illusion' in the center!

There are no fancy hand seals, no dazzling lights or shadows.

Only three figures, wielding gleaming ninja swords, drew three cold, crescent-shaped arcs of light in the rainy night, their beauty laced with deadly sharpness as they slashed away!

laugh!laugh!laugh!

Three lightning-fast blades simultaneously slashed at the pale, bone-like mask on 'Void's' face from three different angles. The blades whistled as they cut through the air, and even the rain was sliced ​​apart by their sharp edges.

Sensing the threat, the 'hollow' opened its massive maw and unleashed a 'Cero Flash,' which swept across the two figures.

However, the purple-haired ANBU ninja's main body and shadow clone worked together perfectly, and the only remaining main body, with the help of the shadow clone, slashed hard at the mask!

Crack! Bang!

A series of teeth-grinding cracking sounds rang out, and the mask was covered with spiderweb-like cracks.

With a muffled thud, the white mask shattered completely, and the 'void' black body twisted and expanded before finally exploding into a cloud of black mist and dissipating!

An almost invisible spiritual energy surged into the knife in her hand that shattered the mask, making her eyes beneath the mask even clearer.

Upon seeing this scene and recognizing the figure, Hiruzen Sarutobi was momentarily stunned.

Mao Yue Xiyan?

What's going on? Why does her aura feel so much sharper?

But now is not the time to question these things.

Hiruzen Sarutobi instantly appeared in front of Hyuga Kumokawa. Seeing Kumokawa's disheveled appearance, he couldn't help but gasp and quickly asked, "Kumokawa, what happened? What happened?"

"Didn't you and Danzo seal off the Uchiha clan and take Itachi Uchiha away? Where did these black monsters with Sharingan come from?"

"Third Hokage." Hinata Kumokawa's voice was filled with unprecedented weariness and solemnity.

"When we entered the outer perimeter of the Uchiha clan's territory, we were blocked by White Zetsu. After killing all the White Zetsu, Lord Danzo ignored the obstruction and insisted on leading the Root members to the heart of the Uchiha clan's territory..."

"And all I could do was continue the blockade mission and find Itachi Uchiha, witnessing firsthand how he killed an entire family and then tried to harm the children..."

"After severely injuring Itachi Uchiha, I intended to subdue him alive, but unexpectedly these black monsters suddenly appeared, and Itachi was taken away by that guy who called himself Madara Uchiha..."

After hearing Hyuga Kumokawa's full account of what happened, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression grew increasingly grim.

Danzo Shimura!

That bastard, he disobeyed orders again and acted on his own!

And what about Itachi Uchiha and that so-called Madara Uchiha? Could these black monsters be the ones they released?

"Third Hokage, I suspect that it's not just Itachi's faction that has infiltrated Konoha," Hyuga Kumokawa suddenly spoke up. "My eyes can see that the real threat lies deep within our territory..."

Before he could finish speaking, a scream rang out.

"Hiruzen!"

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Several disheveled figures suddenly rushed out from the heart of the Uchiha clan's territory like stray dogs.

The leader was none other than Shimura Danzo.

However, Danzo at this moment had long lost his former profundity and composure.

His clothes were torn in many places, his face was covered in mud and blood, and he had lost his cane somewhere. His eyes were filled with shock, anger and fear.

Upon seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi, Hyuga Kumokawa, and the others, Danzo's face lit up with surprise, and he almost stumbled to a stop in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"What's going on?" Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Danzo and the men behind him, then frowned and demanded sharply, "Where are the people you brought?"

Danzo Shimura's face twitched instantly, and he felt his heart clench in waves.

Where else could it go but to die, of course!

Those are all my people!

Mine!
