Chapter 187: Be Careful Not to Crush the Precious Medicine
Chapter 187: Be Careful Not to Crush the Precious Medicine
"You actually blocked my monstrous strength?"
Seeing her fist being caught, unable to move forward even a tiny bit, Tsunade's pupils constricted in shock.
This was the first time she had encountered an opponent whose strength was not inferior to her own.
"Ninja Art: Needle Jizo!"
Countless silver-white hairs, sharper than steel needles, grazed past Tsunade, shooting relentlessly toward Yuiyi Xuan Yue.
Yuiyi Xuan Yue glanced at the thin garment he was wearing.
Although his body was immune to this ninja art, having his clothes torn and being unclothed was not a dignified look.
He released Tsunade's fist and swiftly retreated like a gust of wind, easily dodging the Needle Jizo.
"Tsunade, let's fight together," Jiraiya said solemnly as he stood beside Tsunade.
Tsunade nodded. "Be careful! His strength is not inferior to mine."
"Understood!"
Jiraiya clapped his hands together, and for the first time in a long while, he fought alongside Tsunade, combining their strengths.
They were not the only ones.
Among the Konoha ninjas who had arrived, a large group of elite jonin also stepped forward to assist.
"Secret Jutsu: Insect Ball!"
"Eight Trigrams: Vacuum Palm!"
"Shadow Tendrils!"
". . ."
Just as Yuiyi Xuan Yue had repelled Tsunade and Jiraiya, he was confronted by a barrage of strange and wondrous ninja arts from all directions.
"How flashy," Yuiyi Xuan Yue commented nonchalantly before clapping his hands together. "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough."
With this simple C-rank ninja art, he unleashed a force akin to a Category 10 typhoon, instantly blowing away the incoming five-nature ninja arts and secret techniques like the Insect Ball.
Then, Yuiyi Xuan Yue looked around.
The Konoha forces that had arrived included most of their elite members, with the remaining personnel divided into two groups—one to surround and suppress Kisame, and the other led by Kakashi toward the Southern Shrine.
There was no need to worry about Kisame.
However, regarding the Southern Shrine, since he had declared that outsiders were not allowed to interfere, he naturally had to ensure that not even an insect could get through.
Yuiyi Xuan Yue clapped his hands again.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A large amount of white smoke rose, and thirty shadow clones appeared beside Yuiyi Xuan Yue.
Back when he had finally completed his initial mission after decades of effort, the system had rewarded him with the Harem Technique, which he would never use himself.
But the Harem Technique was inherently composed of the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu and Transformation Technique.
Naturally, Yuiyi Xuan Yue also knew the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu.
By using this technique, he intended to utilize the numbers to stop Kakashi's team while blocking all paths, preventing even a single insect from disturbing the Uchiha's vengeance.
As for why he didn't directly use a more powerful jutsu...
Yuiyi Xuan Yue looked around, his gaze filled with profound meaning as he assessed Tsunade, whose chakra amount was not much different from his own, Jiraiya, who also possessed an exceptional chakra reserve, and the other Konoha jonin.
In his eyes, these people were his future precious medicine, the sustenance he needed to climb the Bloodline Net and strengthen himself.
If he killed them all, what if he lacked a portion of chakra later on?
Although everyone in the ninja world had chakra to some extent, the amount varied greatly. Ordinary people had far less chakra than ninjas, genin had less than jonin, and jonin had less than Kage-level ninjas.
Therefore, Yuiyi Xuan Yue had to be careful and gentle in his actions to avoid crushing these fragile "porcelain" vessels in front of him.
Of course, if there were some foolish individuals who insisted on seeking death, he wouldn't mind making examples of them to deter others.
The battle outside the Southern Shrine proceeded smoothly according to Yuiyi Xuan Yue's arrangements.
Inside the Southern Shrine, after dispersing Itachi Uchiha's crow army, Sasuke and the others were preparing to pursue their advantage and finish off Itachi when...
The purifying black flames descended, immediately engulfing the earlier fire techniques, burning fiercely.
Soon, the Southern Shrine was engulfed in a sea of black fire.
The commotion above caught the attention of the Konoha ninjas below, and aside from Sakura, who was determined to push on, Kakashi and the others subconsciously weakened their resolve to rush towards the Southern Shrine.
At the same time, within the black flames, Sasuke, who had been deliberately targeted, was a step too slow and couldn't break through the encirclement.
The ominous Amaterasu flames now trapped him within a small circle.
Inside, besides himself, there was also one other person – Itachi Uchiha.
"It's over, Sasuke. Your eyes will be mine!"
Itachi Uchiha slowly stood up, ignoring the bloodstain on the corner of his right eye, his eyes filled with fervor as he advanced towards Sasuke.
Sasuke's face remained calm as he stared at Itachi, who was approaching step by step.
"You separated the others and deliberately trapped me here to capture me quickly and take my eyes?"
"Itachi Uchiha, you're still so arrogant! Then let me be the one to take your life."
Sasuke channeled lightning-style chakra into his ninja sword once more, refusing to yield as he charged at Itachi Uchiha alone.
Itachi Uchiha watched calmly, his eyes locking with Sasuke's sharp gaze.
"Tsukuyomi!"
Riiiiip!
Blood splattered.
"Sasuke! Run!"
Suddenly seeing Itachi Uchiha spitting blood and falling in front of him, Sasuke was momentarily stunned.
"Sasuke! Get out of here! We're no match for Itachi Uchiha!"
Following this, Izumi Uchiha also fell, using her last breath to warn Sasuke before falling silent.
The perpetrator of all this, Itachi Uchiha, raised his butcher knife once more.
Uchiha Izuna, Uchiha Mikoto...
One by one, people he knew well fell before him, just like the night of the Uchiha massacre years ago.
Sasuke, filled with anger and self-blame, caused his three-tomoe Sharingan to spin rapidly.
However, he soon realized something and abruptly pressed his neck, where Orochimaru's curse mark had been, and a blue Hagoromo clan emblem suddenly appeared.
Under Sasuke's control, the blue emblem on his neck transformed into streams of light, enveloping his entire body.
In an instant, a power distinct from chakra fused with his body.
The corners of Sasuke's eyes took on a blue hue.
An aura far more powerful than before burst forth from him.
This was the Sage Mode!
With Sasuke's unavenged heart, he should not have been able to cultivate senjutsu, which required a calm and focused mind.
However, just before their departure, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, the developer of senjutsu, had intentionally implanted a one-time-use Sage Mode seal within Sasuke to be used in times of dire need.
Although it could only last for one minute, it was more than enough for Sasuke at this moment.
Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!
The Tsukuyomi genjutsu was broken once again.
In the real world, Itachi Uchiha, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head to look at Sasuke, who was rushing towards him with lightning speed.
"Still not good enough?"
He sighed, intending to release Susanoo.
But before he could finish,
A lightning-fast sword of lightning pierced through his partially formed Susanoo ribs, continuing unabated and stabbing into Itachi Uchiha's heart without any hindrance.
