Chapter 120: Another Uchiha?
Chapter 120: Another Uchiha?
"Raigo: Senju Slayer!"
In an instant, a golden thousand-armed Kannon statue appeared behind Chiri.
Sasuke's eyes narrowed as he raised his sword to defend, only to find himself overwhelmed by a rapid succession of golden chakra fists flying at him with incredible speed from the Kannon statue.
"Too fast!"
Barely blocking a few blows, Sasuke was hit multiple times and forced to retreat. Gritting his teeth against the pain, he growled, recalling Hyui Gengetsu's instruction to not hide his identity.
Without hesitation, Sasuke activated his Sharingan.
Three black tomoe whirled in his scarlet irises.
Suddenly, everything around him seemed to slow down. The trajectory of each golden chakra fist that had been too fast to follow was now clearly visible to Sasuke.
"I can dodge them!"
The lightning-infused chakra stimulated his muscles, and Sasuke's speed increased dramatically. He skillfully evaded each golden chakra fist and brandished his ninja sword.
"Chidori Blade!"
Lightning chakra enveloped the blade as Sasuke seized an opening and thrust the sword towards Chiri.
"Sharingan??"
Chiri's eyes widened as he immediately noticed the change in Sasuke's eyes, and surprise filled his mind.
The Uchiha clan had long since perished.
In the ninja world today, aside from the traitor of the destroyed Uchiha clan, Itachi Uchiha, the only others with the Sharingan were the copy ninja, Kakashi Hatake, and the recently defected last survivor of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke Uchiha.
Judging by his age, there was no doubt that this person was Sasuke Uchiha.
But why was he here at the Fire Temple? Where was Hyui Gengetsu, whom he followed? And who was the man wearing the white spiral mask?
Chiri's mind raced with questions, but his hands showed no sign of slowing down.
Facing Sasuke's attack, Chiri maintained a calm expression.
"Angry Kongo!"
The thousand-armed Kannon statue behind him instantly transformed into an enraged Myoo, and the golden chakra fists turned crimson, their power increasing as they struck out at Sasuke.
This time, although Sasuke could see the attacks clearly, he found that his body couldn't keep up with his reactions.
Bang! Bang! Bang!!!
After being struck by several heavy blows, Sasuke's body flew backward, tumbling across the ground.
It was evident that the inexperienced Sasuke was no match for the long-renowned Chiri.
At the same time.
The loud cheers of the monks behind them rang out as they witnessed their head priest effortlessly defeat an enemy.
"Damn it!"
Sasuke glared, his expression grim as he rose to his feet, ready to attack Chiri again.
Hyui Gengetsu stepped forward and stopped him, his tone indifferent as he said, "Try a few more times, and you still won't be a match for him. Go and train for another year or two, and then you can try again."
Sasuke clenched his fists, his frustration evident, but he knew that Hyui Gengetsu's words were true.
The enemy before him was unlike any opponent he had faced before—truly powerful.
"A year or two?"
Sasuke looked deeply into Chiri's eyes before finally relenting and stepping back.
However, Chiri spoke up, seeking confirmation. "You are Sasuke Uchiha?"
Sasuke let out a cold huff, too proud to bother with a response.
Although Sasuke remained silent, Chiri could read the truth in his expression.
Chiri's gaze shifted to the man wearing the white spiral mask.
Could this man be Hyui Gengetsu?
No, that didn't seem right.
He had never heard of Hyui Gengetsu wearing a mask.
With his strength, there would be no need for such a disguise.
So...
"Who are you?"
Dilu couldn't fathom the connection between them.
Hyui Gengetsu remained silent, his attention focused on the thousand-armed Kannon statue behind Dilu.
"It's somewhat similar to Hashirama's Wood Style: Wood Thousand Hands. Of course, it's merely a resemblance, far inferior in power. Perhaps an ancestor of the Fire Temple witnessed Hashirama's technique and developed something similar?"
"So, this is the power of a Celestial Clan talent? It doesn't feel like Sage Techniques, but more like a manipulation of natural energy."
Hyui Gengetsu, with his access to two samples of senjutsu chakra, could affirm this.
"Never mind, I should test it out myself."
Now that he was here, he couldn't just leave without finding out more.
Hyui Gengetsu started walking towards Dilu, indifferent to the monk's suspicions.
"Not willing to talk?"
Dilu's expression turned grim as he sensed Hyui Gengetsu's dismissive attitude. He took a more solemn stance and said, "Whether you are who you say you are, both of you, Sasuke Uchiha and his companion, must stay here. It is the responsibility of the Fire Temple, as an ally of Konoha, to ensure this."
"Angry Kongo!"
Dilu was about to make the first move.
Hyui Gengetsu lifted his head, and the right eye within the mask glanced at his opponent.
Magic·Stake Prison Technique!
In an instant!
As Dilu's voice trailed off, his body stiffened, and he became immobilized.
He felt as if large iron nails had been driven into his body, and he was shocked. "How... How could I fall for an illusion technique so easily?"
What shocked Dilu even more was that he seemed to see a familiar deep crimson color in the masked man's eye sockets.
"Sharingan??"
"Indeed! Only the high-level illusion techniques of the Sharingan could have ensnared me so quickly."
"But isn't it true that only two members of the Uchiha clan remain? Why does this person also possess the Sharingan? Who is he?"
Dilu felt frustrated.
Had he known that he was facing another Sharingan user, he wouldn't have been so careless as to make eye contact without any precaution.
Who would have thought that besides Sasuke Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha, and Kakashi Hatake, there would be a fourth person with the Sharingan!
Meanwhile, the monks behind them were still cheering and clapping.
In their impression, as long as Abbot Dilu took action, any enemy could be easily dealt with.
However, this time, when they saw the masked man approach the abbot, who did not move at all and just stood there uncharacteristically, their cheers came to an abrupt stop.
Sensing that something was amiss, their faces changed, and they rushed over as quickly as they could to rescue the abbot.
But it was too late.
Hyui Gengetsu grabbed Dilu's chin and forced him to look into his eyes once more, activating the Mind Reading Jutsu to extract information about the "Xian Clan" talent from his mind.
"Stop!"
"Let go of the abbot!"
"Everyone, attack together!"
The monks of the Fire Temple, who had been rushing over, furious and afraid for their abbot, were ready to take action.
Sasuke flashed into their path, blocking their way, and said calmly, "You can't interfere with this."
Clang~
The sound of a ninja sword being unsheathed rang out again.
Soon, the sounds of clashing blades, cries of pain, and bodies falling to the ground filled the air.
The once peaceful and serene Buddhist site was now shrouded in an aura of deathly silence.
