Chapter 176: Just a Speck of Sand, Not Worth My Time!
Chapter 176: Just a Speck of Sand, Not Worth My Time!
Swish!
A snake head as thick as a round table lunged viciously at Tobi, the pressure palpable.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
Tobi formed the hand seals and spat out a massive fireball, aiming it directly at the snake's gaping maw.
Boom!
The flames and the explosion erupted in front of Tobi, the intense gusts of wind whipping his clothes.
"See that, Kakashi..."
He turned his head proudly, ready to boast about his victory.
After all, to defeat such a terrifying monster with just one jutsu was something to be proud of, especially in front of the arrogant Kakashi.
However, what greeted him was Kakashi's tense gaze and Rin's warning cry.
"Tobi!!"
Hearing the warning, Tobi instinctively turned back, only to be faced with the enormous snake mouth that blocked his view.
It turned out that his jutsu had done no damage at all.
At this critical moment, his eyes began to glow red.
It was the Sharingan!
He had activated it in the nick of time.
But even with the Sharingan, it was too late to avoid the attack.
Just as he was about to be swallowed, a voice rang out.
"Flame Finger!"
A hand grabbed Tobi's shoulder and flung him backward. A red light, as thick as an egg, flashed past.
Swish!
The massive snake head was cleanly severed, the two halves slowly falling into the magma pit below.
It was Dohei!
He had appeared behind Tobi at some point and saved him at the critical moment.
"Go protect Miro!"
Dohei gave the order.
Now, it was his turn to capture the 'Perpetual Motion Machine.'
"No escape for you!!"
A strange voice emerged from the wraith's body.
Long, shadowy snake heads shot up into the sky, a terrifying sight.
Thud, Thud!
The terracotta warriors surrounding the Shrine of Sealing also began their assault.
If that were all, there would be no need to worry, but a layer of black mist had enveloped the area.
"Be careful, this is the wraith's barrier. We can't leave until it's defeated!"
Miro warned.
"Hmph, that Dohei actually brought you, Your Highness, to this dangerous place...!"
Tobi grumbled, thinking it was a foolish move.
In reality, if Miro hadn't been so close, the ghost army would have caused a lot more trouble along the way.
"Tobi!"
Rin frowned, stopping Tobi. She didn't know the reason, but she trusted that Dohei had his reasons.
Kakashi, on the other hand, silently prepared for battle.
Miro understood why Dohei insisted on bringing her along, and she was deeply moved by his concern.
"Let's go over there!"
Kakashi pointed to a waterfall on the side.
For shinobi, reaching such a place was no challenge at all.
But for the terracotta warriors, it would be a different story.
Kakashi knew their mission clearly.
It wasn't to stop the terracotta warriors but to protect Miro, the shrine maiden.
"Tch!"
Tobi, who was ready for a big fight, had to protect Miro and retreat.
Rin, however, glanced worriedly at the figure standing in front of the magma pit.
'You have to win!'
Then she followed them away from the training ground.
As they made their way to the top of the waterfall, the training ground was quickly overrun by the terracotta warriors.
Now, Dohei found himself in a dire situation, with the wraith blocking his path and the terracotta warriors at his back.
At least, that's what the people from the Land of Ghosts watching from a distance thought.
But Dohei saw it differently.
"Good, you've earned the right to dance!"
He nodded in satisfaction.
This prey was worthy of his efforts.
If the opponent was too weak, he would be disappointed.
Because a weak opponent wouldn't be worth much, even if captured.
And he wasn't afraid of facing multiple enemies.
"Hmph, you're just a Leaf shinobi. I'll eat you first, then kill Miro, and finally conquer the Five Great Nations to establish a thousand-year dynasty!"
The wraith's voice echoed, a hint of Yomi's voice mixed in.
At this moment, the opponent was in full 'Jinchuriki' mode, but controlled by the Wraith.
"Great ambition!"
To Hei sincerely praised.
This ambition far surpassed that of the shinobi, who at most only aimed to secure more missions and territory. They never dreamed of world domination; their ambitions were truly small.
Just look at this!
Even an otherworldly monster was working so hard, one had to wonder how the Kage of the Five Great Shinobi Villages could sleep at night.
"Damn Leaf shinobi, you dare to underestimate me!"
The Wraith, however, mistook To Hei's praise for mockery and lunged with several snake heads.
"Dance!!"
To Hei exhaled sharply.
He had no time to engage in a prolonged battle today.
If the opponent decided to flee when things turned sour, his perpetual motion machine would be gone, and unexpected complications could arise.
Most importantly, he knew the opponent's background.
Even if it was the background of someone who had been sealed away for over a decade, it still provided valuable insights.
Information!
In the shinobi world, information was invaluable, and he had the upper hand.
As the snake heads bit down, the Terracotta Warriors from behind launched their attack, swinging their weapons.
Just as To Hei was about to be overwhelmed by the attacks,
"Fire Array Pillars!"
A voice rang out.
Rush!
Intense fire pillars shot up, not only igniting and melting the massive snake heads but also hurling and tearing apart the Terracotta Warriors behind.
When the fire pillars died down, a golden-orange flame cloak enveloped To Hei. He turned and formed seals, then took a deep breath and exhaled.
"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"
A B-rank Fire Release technique.
Rush!!
A colossal fire dragon, capable of engulfing everything in its path, erupted toward the Terracotta Warriors behind.
His actions drew a comment from Tobi, who had just reached the top of the waterfall.
"What good is Fire Release?"
Who had ever heard of rocks fearing Fire Release?
"No, his Fire Release is different!"
Kakashi, who knew his former teammate better than anyone, understood the terrifying talent To Hei possessed in Fire Release.
He had trained tirelessly to catch up to To Hei, but the gap between them had only widened.
"What's so different about Fire Release?"
Tobi didn't understand.
But he soon realized why Kakashi said that.
When the terrifying Fire Release ended, the Terracotta Warriors that had surged forward from the training ground were either shattered or melted.
"..."
Tobi's mouth hung open, unable to speak.
He had just witnessed the power of the Terracotta Warriors; weapons and jutsu were useless, and the Grand Fireball Technique only managed to knock them back without causing any real damage. That's why he said Fire Release was useless.
But To Hei's single Fire Release technique had cleared the field, destroying at least several hundred Terracotta Warriors.
"The Uchiha clan's Fire Release... shouldn't be this strong!"
Hinata whispered to herself.
With an Uchiha teammate in their group, she knew that this prestigious clan prided itself on the Sharingan and Fire Release.
Yes, at this stage, it was the Uchiha.
After the clan's massacre, the title of the strongest Fire Release user would fall to the Sarutobi clan.
As for where To Hei obtained the Uchiha Fire Release techniques, training experience, and secret potions...
Well, it was from the Sarutobi clan itself.
Truly dark!
Some aspects of the anime were best left unexplored.
Right now, the pinnacle of Fire Release was undoubtedly To Hei.
Even if the future prodigies and pillars awakened the Amaterasu, their Mangekyo Sharingan might be powerful, but it wouldn't surpass To Hei's Fire Release.
With a single B-rank Fire Dragon Flame Bullet, he had achieved a display as impressive as Madara's 'Great Fire Annihilation' in the future. To Hei then delivered a line with flair.
"Trifling sand, you are nothing compared to me!"
He couldn't help but add a touch of arrogance after already showing off so much.
But his words infuriated the Wraith.
Such disrespect to a demon!
Facing such arrogance, it couldn't help but fight with all its might.
Thus, it unleashed its ultimate technique.
