The Uchiha's Path to the Top, Starting from Konoha

Chapter 193 Slight Victory

The enormous figure of Susanoo stood out on the battlefield, resembling a mobile fortress and exuding unparalleled pressure.

Hikari Uchiha stood atop the crystal of Susanoo's head, calmly observing the battle below. Her eyes shone with determination and ruthlessness, as if everything was under her control.

High-ranking demons descended from the sky, bringing with them a destructive aura as they pounced on the ninja army.

Each demon possesses powerful magic and terrifying combat abilities; their appearance instantly makes the entire battlefield more chaotic and dangerous.

The three-headed tailed beast was not to be outdone, roaring as it charged at the demons, its massive tail lashing out as if to destroy everything.

The Four-Tails roared, its chakra coalescing into a massive ball of energy, which it hurled towards the demon horde.

As the energy balls impacted them, magical barriers appeared on the demons' bodies. The blazing sun and radiant moon demons, however, stubbornly resisted the numerous energy balls and forced their way through.

The nine-tailed fox then lashed out with its enormous tail, sending several demons that tried to approach flying.

Seven-Tailed Chongming spread his wings in the air and released countless wind blades, cutting the demon horde to pieces.

At the same time, Uchiha Hikaru's Susanoo also began to move. Its hands gripped a huge chakra sword, the blade gleaming with an orange-red light.

Susanoo swung its sword at the high-ranking demons, each strike carrying destructive power, cleaving a Moon Demon who couldn't dodge in two.

Although the Radiant Moon Demon was powerful, it was utterly powerless against Uchiha Hikaru's Susanoo.

The Moonlit Demons flapped their wings, their figures rising higher as they began to attack with various spells.

A radiant moon demon, shrouded in black flames, spread its wings and spewed a ball of blazing fire from its mouth, heading straight for Susanoo.

Undeterred, Susanoo swung his sword, cleaving through the flames. The longsword pointed directly at the demon's chest, and with lightning speed, pierced through it.

Another demon unleashed frost magic, attempting to freeze Susanoo's movements.

The cold air spread rapidly, and ice began to form beneath Susanoo's feet.

Uchiha Hikaru snorted coldly, and Susanoo suddenly exerted its power, the ice beneath its feet instantly shattered, and the longsword, carrying the force of lightning, slashed at the Radiant Moon Demon, cutting it in two.

Such awe-inspiring and domineering aura instantly ignited the fighting spirit of the ninja army.

Four centurions belonging to the Uchiha clan, with a thought, felt an invisible connection emanating from the centurion inscriptions on the back of their hands, and their troops instantly understood.

Half of the Jonin were tasked with defending against the mid-level Undead Legion, while the other half were tasked with supplying chakra.

The crimson three-tomoe jade spun in the eyes of the four Morning Star Uchiha, and their bloodlines boiled at the same time. The power inherited from the [blood] instantly caused the four red Susanoo of the Karasu Tengu level to rise up!

Clang! Clang!

"This is the supreme divine power of the Uchiha clan!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Four massive chakra swords, each tens of meters long, were swung at the oncoming Morning Star Demons amidst the maniacal laughter of the four Uchiha centurions. The indestructible blades instantly killed nearly ten demons on the spot!

The aftershocks swept many of the undead on the ground towards the horizon.

The last remaining centurion of the Uzumaki clan, whose body was also filled with mountains and seas of chakra, single-handedly set up a barrier covering the entire ninja army to withstand the storm of magical attacks.

The battle between the three-tailed beast and the demon has entered a fierce stage.

The Nine-Tailed Fox was locked in combat with an armored demon. Its tail lashed out at the demon like a steel whip, while the demon relentlessly attacked the Nine-Tailed Fox's body with its giant axe.

Neither side would yield, and the battle was incredibly fierce.

The four-tailed creature then engaged in battle with another enormous demon.

The four-tailed creature coiled its tail around the demon's body, its fists pressed against the demon's sharp horns, roaring as it tried to tear the demon apart, while the demon used its enormous fists to continuously strike the four-tailed creature's head.

Their forces collided in mid-air, producing a deafening sound.

The Seven-Tails then engaged in a battle with a flying demon in the air.

The seven-tailed demon relentlessly unleashed its wind blades, occasionally scattering hypnotic scales, while the demon blocked the attacks with its wings and spewed out corrosive venom.

The two engaged in a fierce chase and confrontation in the air.

"You lowly trash, all of you, die!"

The Frost Dragon Knights' leader, Mizuki Shiro, rode the Frost Dragon King, braving the boundless wind and snow, and fearlessly charged towards several demons.

The icy, frigid spearhead flashed through the air, piercing the left shoulder of a demon. Frost, more explosive than fire and thunder, instantly froze the demon, impaling him on the spear.

Under the cold, furious gazes of the demons, Mizuki Shiro swaggered out from the demon horde, glancing back at them as the demon on his spear vanished into shattered ice.

The remaining Frost Dragon Knights, who were also the main force fighting against the Morning Star Demons, were attacked fearlessly. However, they were quickly overwhelmed by the four Tengu Susanoo and killed on the spot!

Seeing that things were not going well, one of the three Sun-level demons broke free, grabbed a Frost Dragon Knight, and tore the dragon and rider in half.

However, the other two Sun Demons suddenly felt the pressure increase. Facing Uchiha Hikaru's Martial God Blade, they were in a sorry state, dodging and weaving, and almost ran out of their innate instant-cast spells.

Scattered demon blood and dragon blood fell from the sky.

The frost dragon's mournful cry and the man's roar intertwined in the air. Mizuki Shiro, burning with rage, had an icy expression on his face, and the chill in his eyes was like a solidified stream of light, holding off the blazing sun demon.

"Low-tier Primal Magic: Frostmourne!"

The biting cold descended from the sky, causing fire-type demons to shiver, while ice-type demons and frost dragon knights thrived. And that blazing sun demon was actually a fire-type demon!

"We're here to help you!"

Trusting in their companions' strength, the four Karasu Tengu Susanoo first dealt two dead and two wounded to the dozen or so Morning Star Demons who broke through the blockade.

Then, wings fluttered behind him, and he raised his sword to slash at the thwarted Sun Demon.

Once the enemy's top combatants are eliminated, the scales of victory will surely tip in favor of the Royal Court Ninja Army!

Seeing this, the three tailed beasts, with the Nine-Tails being the strongest, fought alone against six Radiant Moon Demons.

On the ground, the battle between the ninja army and the undead legion intensified. The addition of mid-level undead and Morning Star demons significantly increased the pressure on the ninja army.

The ninjas unleashed a variety of ninjutsu to counterattack, with the light of fire, water, and lightning techniques flashing across the battlefield. Meanwhile, the Uzumaki ninjas erected barriers to block the demons' advance.

"Brother An and Lord Mito are still observing the situation, probably guarding against the other side's underhanded tactics."

"However, these demons and undead are excellent sparring partners."

Uchiha Hikaru observed the situation on the battlefield and pondered to himself.

These high-ranking demons may seem incredibly powerful, but in reality, the entire situation is under Konoha's control. If they wanted to, dealing with them wouldn't be difficult.

Seeing that the training had achieved its intended effect, but the casualties were still increasing, Uchiha Hikaru decided to end the battle quickly!

"The myriad phenomena of the universe!"

Uchiha Hikaru whispered.

The chakra of Susanoo suddenly erupted, and the orange-red light became even more dazzling.

Susanoo swung its sword at the Fiery Sun Demon, who was dodging by teleporting through space. Each strike carried destructive power, and the Eternal Kaleidoscope in its eyes flowed with magnificent red light.

In the blink of an eye, he subdued a Fiery Demon, and with a flash of the Martial God Blade, he cleaved the Fiery Demon in two.

Another wind-attribute blazing sun demon suddenly had Amaterasu's black flames erupt from its body, burning fiercely as the demon howled in agony until it died!

Although those demons were powerful, they were powerless against the Eternal Kaleidoscope.

Two Sun Demons fell in battle, and the entire battlefield fell silent instantly.

In the temporary command room on the third level of the Great Tomb, Albedo showed little worry, her eyes still intently fixed on the Uchiha Hikaru projected onto the screen.

The opponent's strength is among the top in the level 100 realm!

"World champion!"

In the throne room on the tenth floor of the Great Tomb, looking at the incomparable orange-red Susanoo, Ainz Ooal Gown instantly thought of his friend who had once won the world championship.

His strength was such that he always easily defeated opponents of the same level, as if he were playing a completely different game.

"However, even a world champion must give way to transcendental magic!"

Ainz Ooal Gown reached out and the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown landed in his hand. His entire body was covered in divine-grade equipment, which shimmered with magical light. A massive magic circle appeared beneath his feet once more, and then the magic circles connected one after another, reaching all the way to the ceiling, which was tens of meters high!

"Super-Tier Magic: Skyfall!"

Last time, we were thwarted by the opponent's spatial jump and returned empty-handed, but this time we won't!

When using super-tier magic, the Throne of Kings shimmers with golden light, concealing all magical fluctuations within the Great Tomb!

Sensing the magical fluctuations emanating from below, Shalltear, in the command room on the third floor, felt her magical energy, now mostly restored, and her red eyes gleamed with excitement.

"It is truly an honor for me to join forces with Lord Ainz Ooal Gown in casting magic this time!"

(Damn it, I should have been the one to team up with Ainz Ooal Gown!)

Amid Albedo's envious and jealous gaze, Shalltear pinched the sides of her skirt, gracefully performed a curtsy, and simultaneously channeled her magic, causing a purple magic circle to appear around her.

"Tenth-Tier Magic: Spatial Lockdown!"

The two powerful spells were sensed by the ninja army's experts almost simultaneously.

Uchiha Hikaru's gaze locked onto a high-ranking demon casting a spell, and Susanoo's longsword slashed down, splitting the demon in two.

Another demon attempted to ambush her, but her eyes narrowed, and Susanoo's sword instantly turned, slaying it.

Under her leadership, the morale of the ninja army soared, and they intensified their offensive.

The Uzumaki ninjas' barrier techniques firmly blocked the demons' attacks, while the Uchiha ninjas' fire-style ninjutsu reduced the undead army to ashes.

The three-tailed beasts also intensified their attacks, with the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball, the Four-Tails' Lava Attack, and the Seven-Tails' Wind Blade causing immense destruction on the battlefield.

Gradually, the demons' offensive began to weaken, and their numbers continued to decrease.

Uchiha Hikaru seized the opportunity and launched his final attack. The Susanoo's longsword was raised high, blue chakra condensing on the blade before slashing down fiercely. That strike, like divine punishment, carried destructive power, cleaving the last few high-ranking demons into pieces.

On the battlefield, the remains of demons and the corpses of the undead were everywhere. Just as the ninja army finally achieved victory, Uchiha Hikaru stood on the head of Susanoo, looking down at the entire battlefield.

Suddenly, she looked up and instinctively sensed the approaching danger.

"The surrounding space has been sealed off. It looks like the super-level magic that Hyuga Ashizawa faced last time is about to fall on our heads."

Uchiha Takeoshi passed on his discovery to Uchiha Hikaru and Uzumaki Mito.

However, no one was given time to react.

The next second, a blinding radiance fell from the clouds.

"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"

The golden holy sword also rose from the ninja army, clashing head-on with the super-level magic!

Two powerful forces converged in the air, instantly triggering a devastating energy storm.

Magical radiance erupted like countless exploding stars, its blinding light illuminating the entire battlefield, seemingly threatening to devour everything. The golden holy sword, like the radiance of the sun, emanated a scorching aura, as if to completely incinerate the power of magic.

At the center of the collision, waves of energy spread outwards like a tsunami, cracking the ground, sending boulders flying, and filling the air with a scorching heat.

Four tengu Susanoo, wielding swords, stood in front, protecting the ninja army beneath them.

The combat ninjas in the ninja army each performed their duties, and although their eyes were filled with shock, they still maintained their composure.

In the sky, magical radiance and the golden holy sword intertwined to form a dazzling light curtain, and the sound of surging energy was deafening like thunder.

The two forces clashed and tore at each other, neither willing to yield an inch, as if engaged in a life-or-death struggle. Gradually, the edges of the radiance and the holy sword began to blur, and the energy confrontation entered a white-hot stage.

Just then, a silver figure carrying frost leaped up from the ninja army, holding a long spear that gleamed with cold light. Through the engravings on his hand, he gathered the power of the Frost Dragon Knights, and a frost spear fifty meters long pierced straight into the center of the energy storm.

The addition of the Frost Spear was like lighting the final fuse. After a loud bang, the radiance and the Holy Sword exploded simultaneously, turning into countless points of light that dissipated into the air.

The battlefield was silent.

The ninjas couldn't help but look at Mizuki Haku riding the Frost Dragon King. Even the Uchiha ninjas were filled with awe and shock.

"Insects imprisoned in a cell!"

Seeing this, Ainz Ooal Gown wasn't particularly surprised and continued to instruct Albedo to send out a steady stream of undead legions to harass the enemy.

He also considered the current amount of resources, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. We've already figured out most of the opponent's strength, so there's not much left for him to worry about!
