Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 458 Should we fight or not?!

That's right, revealing Wood Release ninjutsu was one of the orders given to him by Tachibana Kenkawa before his departure.

To this end, Uchiha Hikaru spent a month learning the "Adventure of the World of Trees," his most signature and distinctive large-scale Wood Release ninjutsu.

Now that he had successfully completed the mission, Uchiha Hikaru tilted his head and thought for a moment.

The hands formed a mudra again.

"Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song."

Four fire dragons shot out from in front of the Uchiha Hikari Mask.

The ferocious fire dragon instantly ignited all the tree roots created by the "Birth of the Tree Realm".

At the same time, Uchiha Hikari's Mangekyou Sharingan was activated again.

Under the control of "Kagoto-no-Mikoto", the surging flames and heat waves were like a docile kitten, obediently surrounding the area and never dissipating. They transformed into a huge, blazing circular wall of fire, keeping all the Sand Village ninjas outside.

However, Uchiha Hikaru paused slightly after doing all this.

I had some concerns.

"Was this a bit too much? Why haven't the Sand Village's top fighters arrived yet?"

That's what I thought, but in reality, Uchiha Hikaru was already pushing the limits by simply using "Kagoto no Mikoto" to control different fire-style ninjutsu.

If she were to directly ignite the Wood Release with Amaterasu, she was genuinely afraid that the fire would burn down the entire Sand Village.

"I used the Sharingan, I used Fire Release and Wood Release, what else was there again?"

With these thoughts in mind, Uchiha Hikaru once again manipulated the flames to create a passage leading to the sealing ground of the tailed beasts in front of him, and slowly walked forward step by step.

Just as Uchiha Hikaru was beginning to consider whether he should stop and wait there,

Outside the wall of fire, dozens of Sand Village ninjas wielding giant folding fans swung their weapons in unison at the sea of ​​fire in front of them from three directions.

"Wind Release: Rising Tornado" "Wind Release: Rising Tornado" "Wind Release: Rising Tornado" xN

next moment.

Dozens of rising air currents were generated instantly and immediately merged into one, transforming into an enormous wind-escape tornado.

It swept up all the surrounding flames and debris and lifted them into the air.

The tornado swirled and changed direction in the sky, yet it did not allow any of the flames enveloping it to escape.

The rapidly spinning fiery tornado resembled a real fire dragon, winding and twisting its way out of Sunagakure until it completely disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, the ground was completely cleared.

It seemed that apart from Uchiha Hikaru at the very center, there were only the Sand Village ninjas who had once again surrounded her.

However, this time, the leaders of Sunagakure were two elderly people who looked rather old.

"They've finally arrived."

Seeing that the actors were in place, Uchiha Hikaru secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ignoring the ordinary Sand Village fodder all around her, she stared with her Sharingan at Chiyo, who stood at the very front.

However, Uchiha Hikaru originally thought that the old woman opposite him would say a few polite words before fighting him, just like the previous Sand Village.

To everyone's surprise, Granny Chiyo's fingers twitched slightly.

A kunai, which had been thrown to the ground at some unknown time, shot straight toward Uchiha Hikaru like a sharp arrow.

"Ding~"

Ordinary kunai could not harm Uchiha Hikaru in the slightest.

The kunai was sent flying the instant it hit the Susanoo skeleton.

However, the end of the flying kunai was dragging a small, bandaged sphere.

Just as the kunai was blocked by the Susanoo skeleton, the bandaged sphere exploded with a 'bang'.

Immediately afterwards, a deep purple, highly poisonous cloud of smoke enveloped the area around Uchiha Hikaru.

Faced with the Sand Village's use of poison, Uchiha Hikaru dared not be careless in the slightest.

He directly condensed the Susanoo Hand and swung it outwards with all his might.

A fierce gust of wind was instantly generated, and the thick toxic smoke that had just begun to spread around was immediately blown away by this attack.

What Uchiha Hikaru didn't expect was...

It was only for that brief moment when the thick toxic smoke obscured my vision.

When her vision returned, a long scroll was unfolded in front of Chiyo.

"The White Secret Technique* Chikamatsu Ten Puppet Masters!"

As Granny Chiyo finished speaking, a series of loud bangs rang out.

Ten white-clad puppets of various shapes appeared one after another and surrounded Chiyo.

Meanwhile, Ebizo, standing beside her, was not to be outdone.

His hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals, before he slammed them directly onto the ground.

"Ninja Art: Sand Puppet!"

A surge of energy rose from the ground, and eight more grotesque puppets made entirely of sand and soil rapidly materialized.

After completing his preparations, Ebizo didn't forget to remind the other Sand Village ninja around him.

"Everyone retreat. This is not a battle you can participate in."

Although Ebizo did not arrive at the scene immediately, he did not have a direct experience of Uchiha Hikaru's strength.

However, judging solely from the information provided by the Sand Village ninja who went to report, and the scale of Wood Release and Fire Release remnants at the scene, this is quite remarkable.

Ebizo already had a general idea of ​​how terrifying the opponent's strength was.

Moreover, as a fellow ninja who came from the Warring States period, how could Ebizo not have heard of the eyes of the person before him?

Even if he himself were to participate in a battle against an enemy of this caliber, it would be quite a struggle.

Not to mention the ordinary Sand Village residents; even if they intervened, they would only be throwing their lives away.

It might even affect the rhythm of their battle.

However, the two puppeteers, who had already completed their preparations, did not continue their sneak attack.

Before taking action, Ebizo spoke with a solemn expression.

"Wood Release, Sharingan. You must be the notorious thief who called himself Madara Uchiha and was wanted by Konoha before?"

"If you have any needs, perhaps you could just say so. There's no need to resort to fighting, don't you think?"

However, Uchiha Hikaru, who was standing opposite him, began to have his mind go blank at this moment.

"Making demands? Ju didn't say what to do in this situation?"

The fact that the other side suddenly stopped fighting and started negotiating conditions completely baffled Uchiha Hikaru.

"If you guys don't come and hit me, how are we supposed to keep up the act?"

However, Uchiha Hikaru remained silent and sullen. Chiyo and Ebizo, who were opposite her, could not see her expression and assumed that she disdained to speak.

Their expressions grew increasingly grim.

Especially since Granny Chiyo's composure was not as strong as her younger brother's, and the ten puppets around her kept making a clattering sound, she became increasingly irritable.

However, just as Chiyo was about to take action,

The guy opposite, who looked like Madara Uchiha, suddenly bent over, covered his eyes in pain, and coughed several times, looking like he was about to die.

Even the crimson chakra energy skeleton wrapped around her seemed unable to support her, flickering a few times before finally disappearing.

Seeing this, Chiyo no longer hesitated.

"Let's do it!"
