Chapter 83: Parting Gift

Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Parting Gift

With this thought, Shukaku flew into a rage, violently slapping its belly as sand and dust wildly gathered around it. The Cursed Seal patterns on its body glowed with a faint purple light, and the Desert Layer Great Burial Seal was abruptly activated!

Endless streams of sand surged toward Uchiha Xuan like a tidal wave, layering and condensing as if to form a massive pyramid of sand.

Due to Uchiha Xuan’s earlier display, Shukaku intended to seal him first, then slowly torture him to death by piercing his body with sand!

"Trying to seal me? You’re twenty thousand years too early."

Surrounded by layers of sand, Uchiha Xuan showed no panic on his face. Since he had chosen to test his Spirit and Vitality Cultivation, he had no intention of unleashing his domain.

Facing the pressing sand layers, Uchiha Xuan assumed a bow stance and clenched his fist. Golden light slowly flowed, and his eye sockets were tinged with gold.

As Uchiha Xuan tightened his right hand, all his strength gathered in his fist. The ultimate power of Spirit and Vitality Cultivation combined with Monstrous Strength erupted without reservation as he threw a fierce punch.

With that single punch!

A deafening roar arrived instantly!

With just one blow, Shukaku’s strongest Sealing Art was torn open, leaving a massive gap.

Through the flying sand, a look of terror appeared on Shukaku’s face.

"Brat! Are you even human?!"

Seeing Uchiha Xuan shatter his Sealing Art with a single punch, Shukaku’s anger-clouded mind instantly cleared.

This kid is strange!! Extremely strange!!

Ignoring Shukaku’s terror, Uchiha Xuan remained silent, simply continuing to throw punches!

In an instant, he closed the distance and swung his fist toward Shukaku’s horrified face.

This time, the Qi of the Golden Light Mantra enveloped his fist.

"Boom—!"

After an ear-splitting explosion, Shukaku’s massive sand body shattered violently, countless grains of sand scattering in all directions as the violet Cursed Seal patterns crumbled inch by inch.

This punch!

A lesson in humility!

Excruciating pain spread throughout Shukaku’s body, forcing out a piercing wail.

"Yin-Yang Release!! Brat!! Who exactly are you?!"

With that single punch, Shukaku instantly felt its Chakra Core severely damaged. This was... the power of Yin-Yang Release!!

Its unique body structure made recovery impossible, and only Yin-Yang Release could shatter the Cursed Seal on its body!!

However, the only response was a colorful, diamond-patterned ball thrown by Uchiha Xuan.

After a burst of dazzling light, Shukaku vanished from the spot, leaving behind only a faintly trembling Prism Ball.

"From now on, you’ll be the Uchiha clan’s watchdog."

Uchiha Xuan walked forward and picked up the Prism Ball. Gazing at it in his palm, he smiled as he spoke.

He was very satisfied with the results of this test of his Spirit and Vitality Cultivation.

Legend: Prism Ball ×10

Source World: Game - [Roco Kingdom - World]

Card Type: Item

Introduction: A high-level Gulu Ball, guaranteeing 100% capture success, and upon capture, the pet is guaranteed to manifest in its Iridescent Form. This item contains a mysterious power capable of altering a spirit’s appearance and enhancing its innate talent.

.....

Prism Balls, obtained through Card Draw after defeating Chiyo—ten in total.

Upon acquiring these ten Prism Balls, Uchiha Xuan had already decided on their purpose.

In the Ninja World, aren’t there exactly ten Tailed Beasts? Who wouldn’t want to capture ten iridescent Tailed Beasts for fun?

Why ten? Isn’t the adorable Ōtsutsuki Isshiki helping him raise one?

Tossing the Prism Ball in his hand and sensing it for a moment, Uchiha Xuan curled his lips in disdain.

"It’s not black-and-white iridescent."

Putting away the Prism Ball, Uchiha Xuan turned to look beside him.

"Xuan."

Hatake Sakumo stood nearby, holding the White Fang, a hint of surprise in his eyes—clearly, he had witnessed the entire scene.

Screech!!

At that moment, the cry of a hawk echoed in the sky. Uchiha Xuan looked up at the soaring Ninja Hawk and smiled faintly.

"Notify Senior Shikarin to organize the retreat. Everything from Hidden Sand has already been transferred to Konohagakure. This place holds no further value."

Withdrawing his gaze, Uchiha Xuan turned to Hatake Sakumo with a smile.

"Transferred to Konohagakure!?! Understood!"

Startled by the news, Hatake Sakumo immediately thought of the pink gate capable of traversing thousands of miles, then nodded lightly and vanished with a Body Flicker.

"Gah~ gah~" (We’re rich, we’re rich! So much stuff, so much stuff!)

After Hatake Sakumo left, Uchiha Xuan’s shadow twisted, and Gengar excitedly leaped out, dancing and gesturing as it spoke to him.

"What good stuff could Hidden Sand possibly have? Next time, I’ll take you to Hidden Cloud. They should have plenty of treasures."

Watching the excited Gengar, Uchiha Xuan smiled gently and reached out to pat its head.

"Gah~~" (Can’t wait! Can’t wait!)

Gengar’s eyes lit up, and it nodded enthusiastically. Although most of the things they took were useless to it, that didn’t stop it from enjoying taking others’ belongings.

The feeling of filling its alternate dimension was deeply satisfying.

"Gah~" (Oh, right, about that kid you told me to keep an eye on—I secretly placed my Flying Thunder God Mark in his shadow.)

After nuzzling Uchiha Xuan’s cheek lightly, Gengar continued.

"Good work. Now, let him grow freely. An S-rank Card in the making—it’d be a shame to eliminate him now."

Uchiha Xuan nodded slightly. The child Gengar mentioned was none other than Sasori, who had already fled Hidden Sand.

Sasori’s escape was a result of Uchiha Xuan’s deliberate allowance—no other reason, simply because Sasori’s talent had yet to fully manifest, and Uchiha Xuan felt it would be wasteful to kill him now.

After all, an S-rank Card would undoubtedly be useful.

However, Uchiha Xuan had no intention of leaving loose ends, which was why he had tasked Gengar with setting up contingencies from the start.

With Gengar’s current strength, planting a Flying Thunder God Mark in Sasori’s shadow was merely for Uchiha Xuan’s convenience to travel there at any time. The true backup was the Gengar clone hidden within Sasori’s shadow.

"Not bad speed on the retreat. So next..."

A moment later, after confirming there were no Konohagakure ninja within his perception range, Uchiha Xuan took a step and instantly appeared high above Hidden Sand Village.

"This is... a parting gift."

A deep black sphere condensed in Uchiha Xuan’s palm, encircled by a crimson-white halo. Gazing at the sphere in his hand, Uchiha Xuan smiled faintly and released his grip.

The sphere plummeted straight down...

BOOM!!

White light... engulfed the world!!

This is!

Great Rasen Ring!!
