My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 234 The Unspoken Withdrawal

when--

A tremendous crash resounded in the night wind as Shisui's cunning slash was blocked by Kaguya Goro.

The Sharingan-wielding boy had a cold expression. He stepped on the bone pillar of the Kaguya clan leader, loosened his fingers, and the blade spun out of his hand, bypassing the obstacle and smashing into the enemy's chest.

"Ugh..." Kaguya Goro spat out a mouthful of blood. Last year, he was already no match for Uchiha Shisui in their first battle. His right arm was cut off and he barely managed to escape. Now, a year later, Shisui's fighting level has risen again, and he injured him in a single exchange.

Blood splattered, but Kaguya Goro's lips curled up and he actually laughed.

He knew that his injury was meaningful.

"Up close, he really is a handsome young man. No wonder he's from the Uchiha clan..." Mei Terumi's teasing voice drifted into Shisui Uchiha's ears, her languid tone sending a shiver down his spine.

This is not a psychological illusion, but an objective and real temperature change!

Before Mei Terumi could speak, she had already completed the hand seals, her lips slightly pursed, and she exhaled a cloud of gas that completely enveloped Shisui.

—Boiling Release: Skillful Mist Technique!

This is an extremely powerful bloodline limit combining fire and water chakra. It not only possesses high temperatures but can also regulate acidity, capable of evaporating diamonds completely. Its strength surpasses even the Lava Release technique.

Mei Terumi, the Sixth Mizukage, possesses two large-scale destructive bloodline limits, a talent that places her at the very top of the entire ninja world.

Unfortunately, the eyes that oppose her are like lightning rods at the top of a pyramid!

The steaming mist, a combination of high temperature and strong acid, enveloped Zhishui, but the expected screams did not occur. Instead, a series of "crunching" sounds were heard.

Huge green ribs grew wildly around Shisui, blocking out the dense Mist Technique. Even those who were not sensory ninjas could sense the terrifying chakra, which resembled the deep sea.

Uchiha Shisui opened his eyes, and the tomoe reassembled, transforming into a four-petaled kaleidoscope.

—Susanoo, First Form!

"An incredible technique, Boil Release?" Shisui murmured, enduring the excruciating pain of his rapidly depleting chakra.

"It can even melt the bones of Susanoo."

"What...is this?"

Looking at Uchiha Shisui surrounded by humanoid skeletons, the Hidden Mist ninjas made a commotion. In the current ninja world, the Mangekyou Sharingan is a rare sight even after decades, and few have ever seen a perfect ninjutsu like Susanoo that combines offense and defense.

Shisui, of course, did not answer the enemy's question. He simply felt that he had to kill everyone on the other side while he still had the strength, so he unsheathed his sword and threw it on the ground.

The Konoha ninjas behind them received the signal and burst into speed at the same time. For these elite combatants, a distance of two or three hundred meters was almost like face to face. In the blink of an eye, the two groups were entangled, and ninjutsu was thrown out like it was free, turning the earth into a kaleidoscope of colors.

"The Mizukage is a problem; I have to kill her first." This thought flashed through Uchiha Shisui's mind. He moved his feet slightly, and the Mangekyou Sharingan deepened in color as he prepared to unleash even more ferocious eye power, fully unfolding his Susanoo.

Those humanoid monsters with deep red skin also moved simultaneously at that moment.

When the Konoha ninjas clashed with the Hidden Mist Village, these monsters that could unleash lava projectiles stood motionless, seemingly unaware that the battle had begun. However, when Shisui lightly stepped on the ground, they reacted naturally, as if they had been programmed beforehand.

These monsters pounced, creating ear-piercing explosions in the air, and slammed into the bones of Susanoo. Of course, their brute strength was far inferior to Tsunade's, and their desperate ramming could not shake Susanoo in the slightest.

A blinding red light emanated from beneath their skin, causing their facial features to bulge, bones to expand, and internal organs to burn. A phenomenon similar to a volcanic eruption occurred on these monsters, and in less than a tenth of a second, lava spewed out and covered the entire Susanoo.

"Hmph..." Shisui paused slightly before continuing forward.

The self-destruction of these monsters is equivalent to a Jonin using Fire Release at full power; the power is indeed considerable, but it is impossible for them to break through the defense of Susanoo.

However, the next moment, the fifteen-year-old head of the secret service realized something was wrong.

There were too few lava monsters in front of him.

He turned around abruptly and saw many monsters rushing towards the Konoha ninjas, and without exception, all of the Konoha comrades who were targeted were Uchiha clan members!

These monsters are chasing after the Sharingan's ocular power!

Rumble...

A series of explosions roared around the outskirts of Kirigakure. Because the Uchiha and the village had not fallen out and their relationship was still good, many Konoha ninja used defensive ninjutsu to block the self-destructive attack for the Uchiha around them. The death toll did not exceed five. However, because of this action, the Konoha side was injured to varying degrees, and even Mochizuki Ruri was covered in dust.

At the same time, the scorched ground began to writhe, dozens of pairs of red, ferocious arms emerged from the soil, and more lava monsters crawled up.

Almost instantly, Uchiha Shisui made his judgment—

The enemy set a trap for the Uchiha. These monsters can not only spray lava projectiles, but also activate another function after seeing the Susanoo: they can chase after the Sharingan's ocular power and self-destruct!

Even so, the power of the Hidden Mist cannot stop us.

Charging forward without regard for sacrifice will surely allow us to kill the Mizukage.

But apart from myself, most of the clansmen present will most likely perish... Even Itachi couldn't withstand this level of suicidal impact.

Letting the clansmen leave this place, regardless of what the other Konoha comrades will think, without the power of the Uchiha, this vanguard will have a hard time breaking into Kirigakure. Moreover, at that time, I will have to face all the self-destruction, and I probably won't be able to deal with the Mizukage in time.

What to do? Should we retreat? Returning to the main camp to plan further is a good option, but if we miss tonight, the Wind, Earth, and Thunder kingdoms will have a chance to intervene, and who knows when we'll be able to destroy Mist Village again...

Shisui frowned, unsure of what to do. He was both the head of the village's secret service and a trusted and outstanding junior member of his family, putting him in a difficult position.

"Minister Shisui, please order the withdrawal of troops." Just then, a voice rang out behind him.

With his short, upturned braid and two scars on his right cheek, he looks to be in his thirties. He is one of the two deputy commanders on the Konoha front and the head of the Nara clan, Nara Shikaku!

"There's no need to make such a pointless sacrifice." At this crucial moment, Nara Shikaku made a difficult decision for Shisui:

"Moreover, Kirigakure clearly has unknown methods, so rushing in at this time would be the worst choice."

Shisui, enveloped by the green Susanoo, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. He looked at Mei Terumi and noticed that the young Mizukage's pupils did not hold much of a death wish.

Both sides tacitly agreed that this was war...

Thinking this, Shisui began to restrain his pupil power:

"Notify our comrades at Tiger Devouring Mountain to withdraw."
