Chapter 45 Digging Trap for Each Other
Chapter 45 Digging Trap for Each Other
Besides that unfamiliar face, the other two were Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai.
"Hahaha..." Uchiha An pointed at Sarutobi Asuma and burst into laughter, "Are you here to avenge your nephew?"
"Hasn't Sarutobi Hiruzen learned his lesson after killing his grandson? Does he want to lose his son too?"
"Uchiha An, you really didn't die!" Asuma's face was grim, his eyes blazing with murderous intent. "You're a beast! Konohamaru is still just a child!"
"Children?" Uchiha An shouted maniacally, "Your children are children, but aren't Uchiha children children too?"
"Who ordered the massacre of the Uchiha clan?"
"Stop fucking pretending to be a good guy!"
"If we're talking about animals, your father is an old animal, and you're a little animal!"
Asma was thoroughly scolded, but he couldn't bring himself to retaliate.
He's not quite the same as his father, Hiruzen Sarutobi. He's still young, and his skin isn't thick enough to utter such blatant lies.
The massacre of the Uchiha clan was originally carried out in great secrecy, with all the ninjas in the know keeping their mouths shut and remaining tight-lipped about it.
The village pinned the blame on the weasel, and most of the villagers foolishly believed it.
However, because of Uchiha An's commotion, so many people died in the village, and the original gag order became less effective.
Many ninjas were originally a group of people who made a living by gathering intelligence, and gathering information had become an instinct for them. When they encountered an accident, they would inevitably want to know the cause and effect.
Over time, those in the village who were even slightly well-informed learned the truth about the Uchiha clan massacre.
This sparked a controversy in the village.
The ninja clans, especially those whose members had died, had some reservations about the village's actions.
"Alright, Asuma, he's already a rogue ninja, there's no need to argue with him, let's do it!" Kurenai quickly tried to smooth things over.
Asuma silently put on his brass chakra blades, then charged forward headfirst, rapidly forming hand seals.
"Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning!"
Grayish-white smoke billowed from between Asuma's teeth. These high-temperature particles rapidly expanded into clouds in the air, faintly shimmering with firelight, and swept fiercely towards Uchiha Anan.
The other two also launched attacks from both sides simultaneously.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Magic: Tree Binding Technique!"
A clump of large trees burst forth from the ground beneath their feet, and thick vines grew rapidly, winding and spreading up along Uchiha An's legs, while gray mist and firelight simultaneously descended from both sides.
Uchiha An, however, remained calm and simply burst into laughter.
"Ha ha……"
"Who gave you the audacity to use genjutsu in front of the Uchiha?!"
"It's not just about having red eyes; it's about having Sharingan!"
With a thought, the so-called big tree vanished instantly, revealing the silhouette of Sunset Red.
Uchiha An completely ignored Kurenai Yuhi's little tricks, and Susanoo rose from the ground, covering his body.
The fire-style attacks from both sides slammed heavily into Susanoo.
The flames ignited the smoke and dust, immediately causing a violent explosion. Flames shot into the sky, smoke and dust filled the air, and shockwaves rolled out in all directions.
Even the continuous rain evaporated into mist during the explosion. The view became hazy, and visibility became extremely poor.
But the energy giant didn't even flinch; it stood tall and unmoving, like a mountain.
"Even the Ino-Shika-Cho trio are dead here. Who gave you the confidence to come here for revenge?"
Uchiha An laughed loudly, swung his scepter, and smashed it heavily towards Asuma.
But Asuma did not dodge. Instead, he stood with one palm in front of his chest and the other hand pressed down on his waist, striking a strange pose.
"Welcome the Thousand-Handed Slayer!"
A flash of golden light appeared, and behind Asuma, a Buddha statue resembling the Thousand-Armed Avalokiteshvara suddenly appeared. Although it was smaller than Susanoo, it was still an energy giant.
The Buddha statue clasped its hands together above its head with a loud "clang," actually managing to block the attack from Susanoo.
Immediately afterwards, the Buddha statue clenched its hands and grabbed Susanoo's scepter, holding on tightly.
"Now!"
Asuma shouted, and the ground beneath Uchiha An's feet suddenly rose up. The strange ninja sprang out from there, a flash of cold light in his hand, and his short sword was already slashing towards Uchiha An.
This strike was like a thunderbolt, swift and ruthless; the man was clearly a hand-picked master swordsman.
After several battles, both sides knew that the weakness of this half-body Susanoo lay in the hollow cavity in its abdomen.
Almost everyone who can't break through Susanoo's defenses will choose to use Earth Release techniques to break through from here.
Uchiha An was happy to set a trap here and eliminate the enemy as quickly as possible.
Seeing that someone else had fallen into the trap again, Uchiha An couldn't help but grin.
We've already seen people rush in to their deaths, self-destruct, and poison others; let's see what tricks they can pull this time.
Could it be a corpse demon's seal?
He was on guard. When he looked down, he saw that although the man was attacking with his knife, he was slightly lowering his head and only observing him out of the corner of his eye. He dared not meet the man's gaze. He knew that the man was on guard against his illusion.
However, Sharingan genjutsu is not so inconvenient; it requires eye contact with the user to perform it.
He drew his short sword and swung it forward, seemingly to parry, but the blade shifted, and in the mirror-like reflection, their eyes met.
With a slight turn of his kaleidoscope, he silently cast an illusion on the other party.
Although it's not a Mangekyou Sharingan eye technique, not just anyone can break free from Sharingan genjutsu!
The man froze instantly, standing there motionless.
"Haha... Die!" Uchiha An laughed loudly, and with a swift movement of his short sword, he was about to kill the guy with one blow.
But to everyone's surprise, with one slash, "whoosh," a puff of white smoke appeared, a wooden stake was cut in two, and the person disappeared.
Substitution Technique!
Wasn't he under a spell?
How could someone possibly use a substitution technique?
How did he break the illusion so quickly?
Uchiha An was startled, then felt bursts of lightning flash behind him, accompanied by a whistling sound like a bird's cry, and a gust of wind suddenly swept over him.
Before the attack even arrived, the electric currents had already numbed his body.
Chidori!
The name suddenly leaped into Uchiha An's mind. He hurriedly lunged forward, escaping the Susanoo's presence, and simultaneously slashed backward with his short sword.
With a crisp clang, the two short swords clashed together, but the flashing lightning spread up the short swords and covered Uchiha An's entire body in an instant.
But in that split second, Uchiha An had already seen it clearly.
The ninja on the other side had canceled his transformation jutsu and reverted to his original appearance, revealing a face that Uchiha An recognized very well.
He had short white hair and a scarlet three-tomoe Sharingan.
"Kakashi!" Uchiha An roared.
