Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 98 Annihilation (15)

Four figures sped through the forest, heading straight for the Cloud Hidden Camp.

Amidst the terror of life and death, the group occasionally glanced back, but the terrifying eyes of the Uchiha had not yet caught up.

"Will the old man...die?"

"Using lightning to stimulate the chakra within the body's meridians from the outside, thereby avoiding being afflicted by genjutsu... that should be..."

"It's impossible! The old man told us to run because he knew exactly what he was capable of. He had long ago foreseen death..."

"I used to laugh at him for being a Chunin his whole life, I'm really... sorry..."

Glancing at his teammate who was crying, whether from fear or guilt, the slightly older Cloud Village ninja reprimanded, "Go all out and speed up! Don't think we're safe! We can't let this old man's sacrifice go to waste!"

"Swish..."

The four members of the Cloud Village group noticeably increased their speed, and the fear of death made them truly witness the horror of war.

"That's pretty fast..."

"what!"

The sudden sound nearly caused a Cloud Village ninja to fall in panic.

In his panic, he unconsciously turned around to look at Uchiha Yun, who was chasing after him.

"Don't look back!"

"Don't look him in the eyes!"

Amidst gasps of alarm, a pair of crimson Sharingan eyes came into view. In an instant, the scene changed rapidly, with countless flames burning and scorching the forest, enveloping it in the center.

My body...I can't move!

Uchiha Yun's figure slowly emerged from the flames, like a demon from a scorching hell, appearing before him with a single step.

"Did you cry because you were afraid of death?"

Uchiha Kumo sighed as he looked at the tearful female Kumogakure before him: "So why start a war? If you're afraid of death, then maintain peace..."

"puff!"

In reality, after the long sword was swung, a spurt of blood flew from the neck.

"Bang!"

The teammate who had just been beside me, now collapsed and was convulsing, lifeless, was now... a corpse.

Uchiha Yun looked at the three people still fleeing ahead: "This is the fifth one. Are you going to leave someone behind to cover the retreat, or continue negotiating like this?"

The three Cloud Village members fleeing ahead looked at each other, all desperately trying to escape, but no one spoke.

A moment later...

"Damn it, even with the old man's outburst just now, we couldn't stop him for long."

"The old man was already able to keep up with his speed under that kind of power; there must be some information we haven't discovered yet!"

"Will we...die?"

"From the moment we became ninjas, death no longer mattered. No matter what, one of us must make it back alive."

"Someone has to stay behind to cover our retreat, otherwise..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a figure appeared behind him.

"Otherwise... you will all die."

A calm voice rang out, and Uchiha Yun instantly brought down the long sword he had drawn.

"Bang!"

Amidst the sparks, Yun's longsword was blocked by a Yun-hidden Chunin who suddenly appeared.

However, due to the superhuman strength, he was directly knocked away.

"boom!"

The Cloud Village Chunin, who kicked up a cloud of dust, struggled to his feet, spitting out a mouthful of blood, clearly indicating that his internal organs had been injured.

"Next... I'll cover the rear!"

The two teammates who went away did not look back. The fear of the Sharingan was still deeply engraved in their minds. Only the water droplets floating back in the air proved whether they were afraid or sad.

Uchiha Yun shook his head slightly: "You're covering our retreat... but how long can you hold me off?"

The Chunin from Kumogakure chuckled: "You are indeed very strong. Even with someone covering your retreat, you might still be wiped out in the end. But how can you be content without trying?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his hands flew into hand seals: Lightning Release...

"puff!"

He didn't use his ninjutsu before he died. Instead, Yun, who had instantly appeared behind him, slowly drew his long sword and leaped away to pursue him again.

Behind him, the Cloud Village ninja, whose heart had already been pierced, clutched his chest, but blood continued to gush out.

The difference... is really huge.

Mother... I can't go back to the village.

From now on... only your younger brother will be with you.

"Bang."

The body that had fallen to the ground was lifeless.

……

In an open area, Uchiha Kumo slowly walked out, looking at the two Kumogakure ninja in front of him and asked, "Why did you stop? So many of your teammates died, wasn't it all just to escape back?"

One of the two ninjas from Kumogakure wiped away his tears: "We can't escape the rest of the way. Rather than be killed one by one, we might as well fight to the death."

Uchiha Yun shook his head slightly: "No, you can only fight to the death, not gamble, and you can't possibly win."

Another Cloud Villager drew his long sword, still avoiding eye contact with Cloud: "You are very strong, so strong that you are an existence that we cannot match, but that does not mean we need to surrender."

As they spoke, Yunyin and the other exchanged a glance, and their longswords clashed instantly, lightning surging from their hands and rushing towards the blades.

Lightning Release, combined with the Scattered Strike Graveless.

The two long swords clashed, and a burst of lightning flashed as it rushed towards the clouds.

"boom!!"

The ground was charred black by lightning, but Uchiha Yun had vanished from the spot.

The next moment, Uchiha Yun, standing on the tree, said, "Lightning is fast, but you are too slow. Even if such attacks continued for a whole day, there's no chance they'd hit me. Why struggle in vain?"

"hehe……"

The two below laughed, one of them raising his gaze slightly so that he could just see Yun's legs: "Although we fear death, although we are afraid of never being able to return to the village... we are, after all, ninjas of Kumogakure!"

With a roar, lightning erupted once more from the center of the crossed twin swords, hurtling directly toward the clouds on the tree trunk.

"boom!"

The tree was scorched and set ablaze by lightning, with lightning still covering the raging flames.

"Whoosh."

With a soft sound, two jets of blood gushed out.

The two Cloud Village ninjas who had just made those bold pronouncements fell heavily to the ground, lifeless.

Yun sighed: "With foolish decisions made by those at the top, those at the middle and lower levels will pay the price with their lives. Peace... isn't that better?"

As he spoke, Yun sealed the corpse into a scroll and began collecting corpses along the way back.

All the corpses of the eight invading enemies from the Cloud Village were sealed away as they approached the sentry post.

After doing all that, Yun looked at the dark bushes beside her.

"Come out, it's over."

Ken Shimura slowly crawled out of the haystack not far away, and then laboriously dragged out the body of his teammate that he had just hidden.

"They need your help to bring them back to camp using the sealing scroll. After that, someone will take them all back to the village. Thank you!"

……

The boss has a lot going on today, five chapters already. See you tonight!
