Chapter 372: The Uncontrollable Uchiha Yae
Chapter 372: The Uncontrollable Uchiha Yae
"How is this possible?!"
She felt her chakra dissipating within her body, and her physique slowly began to swell.
As her gaze swept the surroundings, she spotted the Xuanyuan Cong not far away, and her mind instantly recalled their information, confirming that they were behind this.
What shocked her was... how did they manage it?
She was in 'Lightning Robe (Lightning Transformation Mode)', a state where her physical body could withstand the impact of ninjutsu.
And yet, she had been affected? It was undeniable that the Xuanyuan Cong had some impressive tricks up their sleeves, no wonder they had managed to outmaneuver the Lightning Shadow in the past.
In this situation, either a medical expert like Tsunade would have to perform surgery, or they could use cryopreservation to reduce the bugs' activity, as the Bursting Insects were immune to everything else.
Of course, elemental transformation could also be a solution.
The issue was that even though Dong Ping had taught her and Hyuga Yae this technique, she had yet to master it.
It was incredibly difficult!
While the technique had an overwhelming effect, it also came with a matching level of complexity.
Deathblow!
With Kakudo's assistance, the Xuanyuan Cong executed a lethal strike.
Even without prior collaboration, their teamwork remained seamless.
"This time, you won't escape, brat!"
Kakudo's tone carried a hint of satisfaction.
As a 'Senior', being outclassed by a junior was a matter of losing face.
Now, as he was about to finish off his younger opponent, it seemed his fate was sealed.
"Oh, that's not certain!"
Contrary to Kakudo's expectations, Uchiha Yae, despite appearing on the brink of collapse, showed no fear.
"Stop pretending, the bounty is ours, Xuanyuan Cong!"
Five members of the Xuanyuan Cong surrounded her.
With a total bounty of fifty million ryo, they wouldn't let her escape, and they were also there to prevent Kakudo from taking her.
As bounty hunters, they knew that rewards were distributed based on results, not individuals, so they had to be cautious.
"Do you ants think you can take down a lion?"
Uchiha Yae seemed to ignore the Xuanyuan Cong and Kakudo surrounding her.
Even the Five Kage-level powerhouses would have to be cautious against such a formidable formation.
"Be careful!"
The leader of the Xuanyuan Cong warned his companions.
The Bursting Insects were not instant killers; they slowly absorbed the target's chakra to grow, and even with a bugmaster controlling them, they could only accelerate this process.
Without a bugmaster, the effects might take days to manifest.
Now, the prey still had the strength to retaliate, and if they were careless, they might be dragged down by the dying opponent.
They all knew the deadly nature of a dying powerhouse, so they proceeded with utmost caution.
It wasn't a matter of courage; they simply didn't think it was worth risking their lives against a dying target.
Uchiha Yae's gaze towards the Xuanyuan Cong was menacing.
This was utterly humiliating!
Dong Ping had entrusted her with the command of this battle, and now she had been outmaneuvered. How could she not be furious?
She lowered her head, and a chilling, terrifying aura suddenly enveloped her.
Her eyes transformed into the Clockwise Sharingan, and she swiftly activated the Heaven's Standstill ability.
Instantly, her body reverted to its state from five minutes ago.
While it couldn't restore her chakra, it returned her body to normal.
"How is this possible?!"
The fifth member of the Xuanyuan Cong, the bugmaster, paled.
He had clearly felt the bugs inside the target, rapidly absorbing chakra under his control, but in the next moment, he lost all sensation of them.
The Mangekyou Sharingan's abilities defied all logic.
Uchiha Yae's Bursting Insects were eradicated, and her body returned to normal.
"This..."
Kakudo also seemed to have realized something.
He remembered striking her shoulder earlier, leaving a faint mark.
But now?
The mark had vanished.
The ninjas' observational skills were truly astonishing.
For others, such a minor detail would be easily overlooked, but for these powerhouses, it was fundamental.
Uchiha Yae's anger burned within her.
She lifted her head again, and the Clockwise Sharingan had reverted to the Three Jewels.
Even if Kakudo couldn't discern anything from the traces, it was now clear that her previously swollen body had returned to normal.
Such a significant anomaly was obvious to anyone with sight.
"How is this possible!"
"What is this?"
"Could it be a secret technique?"
...
The Xuanyuan Cong members exchanged glances, all feeling a bit uneasy.
Their boldness in hunting Shadow Level Shinobi relied primarily on the Bursting Insects, followed by their individual strengths and teamwork.
If they were to engage in a direct confrontation with a Shadow Level Shinobi, they wouldn't have a guaranteed victory.
Note that they didn't have a 'sure-win' advantage, but they weren't without hope. Among them, the fifth member, a Bugmaster and an Elite Jonin, was particularly skilled. The others were all Elite Jonins, and even the leader was a Quasi-Hokage.
It can only be said that the true Ninja World differed greatly from what Dong Ping had seen in anime before his crossing.
For example, in anime, the story revolved around a few villages, but in the real Ninja World, the Fire Country alone had a population of several hundred million, making Leaf Village a mere drop in the ocean in comparison.
Therefore, it was normal to encounter numerous unknown individuals and situations.
Surrounded by the Xuanyuan Cong members, Uchiha Yae sheathed her blade and began forming hand seals.
"Core Seed Technique!"
A pair of half-curved red devil horns slowly grew from the top of her head.
The physical transformation was secondary; the crucial aspect was the significant boost in her aura.
"So powerful!"
This feeling arose simultaneously in both Kakudo and the Xuanyuan Cong members.
Uchiha Yae demonstrated her Superorgan, immediately manipulating the chakra stored within her devil horns.
The nearly depleted chakra was instantly replenished.
The ability of the Heaven's Standstill Mangekyou Sharingan was indeed useful, but its consumption was too great. If not for her method of restoring chakra, she wouldn't dare to use it so freely.
Fiery like fire and dominant like thunder, Uchiha Yae combined these two auras into one, further enhancing her flawless appearance and filling the air with her presence.
"Now, pay the price for your actions!"
Uchiha Yae's gaze fixed on the Xuanyuan Cong members.
Her hostility towards Kakudo wasn't as strong because she had always dominated him in their encounters, never suffering any losses.
A lightning flash illuminated the area, but the person had vanished from their original spot.
"Fifth!"
The Xuanyuan Cong members shouted in alarm.
A figure appeared behind the green-haired youth, posing a significant threat.
Naturally, Uchiha Yae considered him a formidable opponent and prioritized dealing with him first.
Bang!
With just one Amaterasu, Uchiha Yae realized something was amiss.
"Bugs?"
She discovered that the body she had pierced had transformed into bugs.
It wasn't an Illusion!
If it were a technique like the Crow Clone Jutsu, it wouldn't have any effect on her Mangekyou Sharingan.
It was a fleshly body composed of bugs, which was why she couldn't detect any flaws.
If she had the Byakugan, she could have easily located the target, but while the Sharingan provided greater combat advantages, it wasn't as effective in reconnaissance.
However, Uchiha Yae had a few 'punching bags' around her.
At this moment, her anger surged.
The fact that she had been toyed with repeatedly was something her proud self couldn't accept.
Demonic Transformation!
She directly entered a state of full power.
Red flame patterns and blue lightning patterns appeared on her delicate, jade-like skin, and red and blue wings sprouted from her back.
The overwhelming pressure made it almost impossible to breathe.
Clang!
The sound of a blade being drawn echoed.
A Xuanyuan Cong member's head soared into the sky.
At that moment, Uchiha Yae appeared behind the headless corpse, lightly swinging her Shinobigatana to fling the blood onto the ground.
Her graceful and valiant figure was breathtaking.
There was no escape from the speed of her Demonic Transformation.
Even without using the Teleportation Jutsu or Lightning Style, her physical sprint alone was comparable to a Teleportation Jutsu. If she combined it with Teleportation or Lightning Style, it could result in the current situation.
The speed was almost too fast to react to.
When overwhelmed by speed, one could be instantly killed.
During the Third Ninja World War, the Fourth Hokage, Minato, demonstrated this by slaughtering Jonins as if they were mere chickens.
"Now, it's my turn!"
A dangerously mischievous smile appeared on Uchiha Yae's face.
