I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 90: Let's settle this once and for all, Onigumo.

Chakra surged.

Four streams of deep purple light burst forth from the four shadow clones, rising up to a height of a hundred meters, and then connecting horizontally at an extremely fast speed!

At this moment, it was as if a painter was holding a paintbrush and, with Naraku's location as the center, sketched a square cage with straight lines above this mountain!

As Uchiha Hikaru and Kikyo descended on their Flying Nimbus, a deep purple light curtain simultaneously closed in six directions—up, down, left, right, front, and back—blocking all escape routes!

Followed by.

The four shadow clones sat cross-legged at the four corners of the barrier, each opening an internal barrier to protect themselves.

The Four Purple Flame Formation is complete!

"?!"

The "Four Purple Flame Formation," which had never appeared in the Inuyasha world before, startled Naraku, causing him to miss his only chance to escape that night.

As for Inuyasha...

The Four Purple Flames Formation didn't block vision, so he, standing outside the barrier, quickly recognized the figure in the red and white priestess's robes: "Kikyo?! What are you doing here...? That guy over there is Naraku who tricked us back then! Get away from him!"

"Let me in!"

As he spoke, Inuyasha used the Tessaiga to slash at the barrier a few times, but the barrier did not budge.

As one of the highest-level barrier techniques in the Naruto world, the Four Purple Flame Formation was enough to trap the Kage-level Hiruzen Sarutobi with the combined strength of the four Sound Ninja who were only elite Chunin. Of course, the Four Purple Flame Formation set up by Uchiha Hikaru was even stronger.

If it were later in the story, when the "Red Tessaiga" absorbed the power of the Blood Orchid Coral and specialized in breaking barriers, it might actually be able to break this barrier. But the current Inuyasha definitely doesn't have that kind of power.

"...What are your thoughts?"

Uchiha Hikaru glanced at Kikyo beside him.

According to the original storyline, Kikyo's attitude towards Inuyasha at this time was still quite complex, and she was easily swayed by his emotions.

Kikyo took a deep breath, turned her gaze away from Inuyasha, and did not answer: "Dealing with Naraku is the priority."

the other side.

Naraku withdrew his gaze from the surrounding barrier, then glanced at the four shadow clones and Uchiha Hikaru herself, a cold smile appearing on his face: "Tch... another priestess skilled in barrier techniques, and a mere immature little girl at that. Does she think she can trap me with such methods?"

""again"?"

Uchiha Hikaru raised an eyebrow.

If I remember correctly, Naraku did encounter and kill a priestess skilled in barrier techniques, I think her name was Hitomi.

but……

"Putting aside the shrine maiden thing, could you please put your clothes on first?"

Uchiha Hikaru glanced at Naraku's naked body again with a scrutinizing gaze, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Although your figure looks alright, if I could, I wouldn't want to fight a perverted naked man with an exhibitionist fetish. I think Kikyo would feel the same way."

"..."

The air was still for a few seconds.

Then, Naraku raised his hand and waved it, and as demonic energy gathered, a large robe materialized on his body: "Is this alright?"

"Okay, that's fine."

Uchiha Hikaru nodded.

In just a few words.

Kikyo had also calmed down, her expression becoming neither happy nor sad, her gaze fixed straight on her: "It's been a long time, Onigumo. Thanks to your care, my life ended many years ago, so today... let this farce that has lasted for fifty years come to an end here."

"To settle things?"

Naraku laughed loudly, as if he had heard a joke: "Kikyo, you're still as arrogant as you were 50 years ago. You don't actually think that finding an ally who can use barrier techniques will make you able to deal with me, do you? How laughable!"

"How ridiculous... Let's fight first!"

next moment.

Black triangular windmills appeared in Uchiha Hikaru's eyes!

"Amaterasu!!"

As the black flames ignited, a massive amount of purplish-black miasma erupted from Naraku's body, blowing towards her and Kikyo!

"Be careful, that miasma is poisonous!"

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

As Kikyo raised her voice in warning, Uchiha Hikaru opened his mouth and spat out a fierce whirlwind that blew away the miasma coming towards him. Then, he activated his eye power and conjured a dark red skeleton around himself and Kikyo!

"Susanoo!"

Rings of dark red flames rose from mid-air, outlining and twisting into numerous meridians, flesh, and the shape of legs...

During the formation of Susanoo, Uchiha Hikaru and Kikyo stood together on the head of Susanoo, supported by the chakra-condensed base, and quickly rose into the sky. Kikyo even erected a spiritual energy barrier to isolate the miasma outside.

In just a short moment, Naraku's miasma had completely filled the Four Purple Flame Array. This purplish-black miasma not only obscured the vision of both sides, allowing Naraku to hide his figure, but also had an extremely strong corrosive effect. A lot of the rocks on the surrounding ground had been dissolved, and even the light screen of the Four Purple Flame Array was emitting hissing white smoke.

Fortunately, no substantial damage was caused.

Judging from the current situation, if Naraku wants to use miasma to corrode a gap in the barrier and escape, it will take at least twenty or thirty minutes—provided that Uchiha Hikaru and Kikyo don't attack him.

"Kikyo, can you sense Naraku's location?"

Uchiha Hikaru scanned his surroundings with his Sharingan.

"...Yes, but his location is constantly shifting, and he has spread his demonic energy throughout this barrier, making it difficult to pinpoint his exact location. In addition, I can only fire three Demon-Slaying Arrows at most with my spiritual power. If I exceed that limit, I may not be able to maintain this protective barrier."

As she said this, Kikyo had already drawn her bow and nocked an arrow, her gaze becoming sharp as a knife.

Three times...that's enough.

On the other side, Naraku also seemed to realize that he could not break the barrier in a short time.

then……

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!

A large amount of spider silk shot out from behind the miasma, attacking Uchiha Hikaru and Kikyo in mid-air.

Uchiha Hikaru controlled Susanoo, slashing horizontally with his sword. The sword light danced in a circle around him, cutting all the spider silk in two!

"Is it over there?"

"...Northeast direction, sixty meters away!"

Kikyo narrowed her eyes slightly, and as she sensed the danger, she drew her bow, nocked an arrow, and released it like a shooting star: "Arrow of Exorcism!"

call out--!

With a sharp whooshing sound, the power contained within the arrow erupted, tearing a narrow vacuum through the miasma! It also revealed Naraku hiding behind it!

Uchiha Hikaru's gaze sharpened, and he fully activated his eye power:

"Amaterasu Kagutsuchi!!"

At that moment, at the end of Uchiha Hikaru's vision, a black flame storm, two or three meters high and burning like a raging sea wave, appeared and swept towards Naraku, who had just revealed his figure!

Naraku reacted quickly to the dark flames.

Without hesitation, this guy peeled his arms, which had been stung by the flames, off his body—as a freak formed from countless monsters, his body could devour and split at will. Then he opened a purplish-black barrier, keeping Amaterasu's black flames a foot away.

He then used the barrier as cover to retreat quickly and disappear into the miasma.

"Um?"

Uchiha Hikaru narrowed his eyes slightly.

"It's the Shikon Jewel... He has a fragment of the Shikon Jewel inside him!"
