Chapter 71: The Uchiha Clan

Chapter 71: Chapter 71: The Uchiha Clan

In a flash, Uchiha Xuan vanished from Charizard’s back, reappearing behind Chiyo.

Sensing the movement behind her, Chiyo whirled around, raising both hands as a barrage of kunai bound by chakra threads shot forth.

Yet, to Chiyo’s astonishment, every kunai she threw dissipated into thin air—even the chakra she had infused into them vanished completely.

Staring at Uchiha Xuan, Chiyo’s lips trembled slightly. She knew all too well that these bizarre phenomena stemmed from this suddenly appearing youth.

"You..."

Chiyo fixed her gaze on Uchiha Xuan, her mouth slightly agape as she tried to speak. But in the next moment, her body was instantly disintegrated, vanishing completely from the Ninja World.

[Defeated S-Rank target. Acquired S-Rank Card Pool Draw: 1]

Such power makes dealing with the Ninja World’s "vegetative" individuals seem effortless. Or perhaps, it’s simply effective against those with weak spiritual energy. But then again, the strength of one’s spiritual energy makes no difference to me.

Casually disintegrating Chiyo, Uchiha Xuan lowered his hand, his expression calm and indifferent.

"That’s... it? It’s over?"

Hatake Sakumo approached Uchiha Xuan, staring blankly at the spot where Chiyo had vanished.

Such a method was unheard of to him.

"Otherwise?"

Lowering his hand, Uchiha Xuan glanced at the stunned Hatake Sakumo and spoke softly.

"This is truly..."

Looking at Uchiha Xuan’s composed face, Sakumo forced a bitter smile.

A veteran Kage-level powerhouse, whom he would have needed to exert his full strength to defeat, had just been casually eradicated by a much younger junior.

In comparison, it really made him seem rather weak.

"The battle here will end soon. Afterward, take command of this area and capture Hidden Sand Village."

Ignoring Sakumo’s emotions, Uchiha Xuan issued his orders indifferently.

"Understood. Wait! Did you say capture Hidden Sand, or capture Hidden Sand Village?"

Accepting the command, Sakumo nodded in acknowledgment, but he immediately realized something was off. He looked up and questioned Uchiha Xuan.

"Is there a difference? Hidden Sand Village... there’s no need to keep it around, is there?"

Uchiha Xuan, who had been about to leave, paused and turned back to Sakumo with a puzzled expression, as if unable to comprehend why Sakumo would ask such a thing.

"I... see."

Sakumo nodded lightly upon hearing this, though inwardly he was filled with shock.

Directly targeting an entire ninja village...

Should I have expected nothing less from you?

........

Meanwhile, on the battlefield between Konohagakure and Hidden Sand.

"Hahahaha! You trash of Hidden Sand Village, gaze upon my Sharingan! Fire Style: Dragon Flame Song!!"

"Ryuga! Release that Sand ninja over there!! He’s my prey!! Fire Style: Great Flame Bullet!"

"What’s yours or mine?! They’re all mine! For the glory of the Uchiha, for Lord Xuan, you Hidden Sand trash, die!!! Lightning Style: Calamity Chasing Fang!!"

"Damn it, leave those Sand ninjas to me! Wait, why is Elder Setsuna here too?! No! That’s my target!"

"Hahahaha, though I may be old, my strength is no less than you young pups! Tremble before the mighty power of the Sharingan, Sand ninjas!!"

Crimson blood eyes bloomed across the battlefield, ocular powers clashed, blood continuously splattered, flames surged, and lightning flashed.

At this moment...

The might of the Ninja World’s number one ninja clan was displayed to its fullest extent!!

Almost every elite Jonin of the Uchiha could chase down several Sand ninjas.

"Damn it! When did these lunatics arrive on the battlefield? What was Intelligence Division doing?! Lord Makia! We must organize a retreat!! Damn it! Are these people insane?!"

"Retreat! Retreat!! Be careful not to look directly into their eyes, and! Absolutely do not hesitate due to usual sentiments—act immediately if a comrade is controlled! Do not hesitate at all!"

"Where is Lady Chiyo?! Why are Uchiha ninjas here?! Didn’t Lady Pakura ambush their rear support route?!

Wait! If Uchiha ninjas are here... then Lady Pakura and the others!!! Damn it! Damn it! Gakuzan, what are you doing?! Wait, Gakuzan has been controlled by the Sharingan!"

Within the Sand ninja ranks, Makia, who had become a newly promoted elite Jonin after Rasa’s death, stared dizzily at the scene before him.

He couldn’t understand why Hidden Sand’s overwhelmingly favorable situation had been completely overturned by these suddenly appearing Uchiha ninjas.

Moreover, the Sand ninjas now not only had to face the onslaught of the Uchiha ninjas but also had to be constantly vigilant against betrayal from those beside them.

The power of the Sharingan...

"These Uchiha ninjas... are all monsters..."

At this moment, not only were the Hidden Sand ninjas stunned, but even the Konohagakure ninjas who had been fighting the Sand ninjas earlier were also somewhat bewildered.

Although they had heard that Uchiha ninjas were strong... how could they be this strong?!?

For a moment, many among the Konohagakure ninjas couldn’t help but glance at their comrades with white eyes beside them.

Both are Dojutsu Bloodline Clans, so why does it feel like there’s such a big difference?

Hyuga ninja: "..."

On the battlefield, each Uchiha ninja was equipped with a healing slug, while simultaneously, Uchiha Xuan’s domain covered the entire battlefield.

Every time a Sand ninja fell, Uchiha Xuan’s domain would instantly disintegrate that Sand ninja’s heart.

This way, it could satisfy the Uchiha clan members’ desire for battle while also not wasting these Card Draw Counts.

Although low-level Card Draw Counts could hardly bring any improvement to the current Uchiha Xuan... who could resist the thrill of a ten-draw?

Moreover, good items could still appear in low-level Card Draws, though the probability wasn’t very high.

Not only that, but Uchiha Xuan’s domain would also instantly teleport away any Uchiha ninja about to suffer a fatal injury, ’eliminating’ them.

This behavior was deliberately done by Uchiha Xuan. After all, having you ’die’ while everyone else is still alive was highly effective in stimulating their eyes.

Meanwhile, on the other end of the battlefield, Danzo Shimura, his body wrapped in bandages, looked grimly at the ninja kneeling before him.

"You’re saying... Uchiha ninja have come to the battlefield!?"
