Naruto: The Progenitor of Demons Starting from Kirigakure

Following the same routine, with the traitor Shuichi, they moved unimpeded through the Uji clan's secret stronghold, with Yura observing the Uji clan members.

Aside from the typical Land of Lightning features such as blonde hair and white hair, what is most striking is the expression on these people's faces, or rather, their demeanor.

I'm crazy.

Hey, I was just pretending.

This was something that could not be hidden from Gyallo.

People can disguise themselves based on the atmosphere; this is a defensive strategy of the self.

In other words, if you're in an environment full of lunatics, you'd better pretend to be a lunatic, otherwise you'll be considered a lunatic and treated as a heretic.

Most of the Uji clan members were certainly normal people, but in the abnormal and cruel Warring States period, it was inevitable that their spirits would be somewhat strained. What was worst was that there was an extreme mental patient within the clan who was leading the clan toward madness.

Jieluo could sense that several dozen people were not quite mentally sound; this proportion was unusually high.

For example, this guy in front of me is the head of the Uji clan, although he seems quite rational and normal.

The moment they met, he stared directly into Jieluo's eyes and realized she was there.

interesting.

Jie Luo smiled faintly, having discovered another way to become aware of herself.

Standing at the door, Jie Luo remained silent, and the atmosphere was tense as they looked at each other.

"Because your sanity is zero, can you look me in the eye?"

The man before them was in a state of perpetual madness. When a person is insane, what demons or monsters are they afraid of? Facing Jie Luo, this man would not subconsciously ignore her. In short, he may have seen even more terrifying things.

Such a person, taking charge of a clan, would have disastrous consequences; no one knows when or what madness he might unleash.

"I'm getting a little interested in you... Human, what have you seen...?"

Monster? Evil god? Death god? Or something else?

"Die!" The blond man, who appeared rational but didn't communicate at all, pushed up his calm frameless glasses, clapped his hands, opened his mouth, and a water cannon shot out.

Water Release: Water Cannon Technique

Jie Luo's pupils constricted slightly, and he clapped his hands together.

Scared!

A powerful and heavy blow suddenly exploded in mid-air in front of Jieluo, as if it had hit something invisible. Jieluo looked down at his feet.

Water seeped silently onto the floor.

With a flick of her hair, Jieluo, who was standing beside Shuichi, remained motionless and shot out into the air. The next second, countless water spikes shot out from where Jieluo had just stood.

Yura landed in the courtyard, leaving Shuichi behind, and looked towards the entrance of the main house.

A clump of water floated in mid-air, absorbing moisture from the air and expanding, transforming into a deformed, water-shaped little girl with a large head.

The little girl looked at Jieluo with a mixture of hatred and madness, then grinned and asked, "Daddy, are we eating this sister today?"

Looking at the little girl, Jieluo was certain that this was what the man had just spat out—was this a water cannon technique?

"Kill her." The man pushed up his glasses and said coldly, "Xingzi."

"Yes, Daddy~" The little girl's eyes lit up, and she rushed towards Jieluo with a terrifying laugh. Water flowed erratically on her body, and countless tiny spikes covered her body like scales. One after another, streams of water as thick as fingers shot towards Jieluo, twisting and moving forward in mid-air like snakes, their movements unpredictable and strange.

At the same time, after a loud shout, a giant water dragon burst through the roof of the main house, leaped towards the half-air conditioner, turned around, and slammed down on Jieluo.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet

With a tightly coordinated attack, Jie Luo tilted his head, his hair standing on end, and swung it out.

Black Secret Technique. External Style. Sixteen Swallow Returns

The attack came later but arrived first. The dense water lines broke apart in mid-air, and the slashes spread along the water lines. In an instant, the big-headed little girl flying in mid-air was completely cut into water droplets and exploded.

Black Secret Technique. External Style. First Spiral Gate

The other eight strands of hair extended and combined to form a giant shield with a ghostly face, which spun rapidly in mid-air. The swooping water dragon crashed into the shield and exploded into a shower of water droplets. Instantly, a sudden downpour began.

The man standing inside adjusted his glasses, and with a flick of his wrist, a longsword formed from flowing water appeared in his hand. He said, "Ridiculous! How can water be cut down by a sword!"

Jie Luo smiled faintly. If this had happened before today, it would indeed have been a bit tricky.

The next second, the spray of water suddenly stopped, and then surged rapidly towards a central point. In the swirling eddy of water, the giant little girl with a huge head quickly formed half of a hideous head, and her giant eyes glared at Jie Luo with hatred.

At this moment, it absorbed the moisture from the water dragon bullet, causing its size to increase.

"Aaaaaaahh ...

Jieluo tilted her head and sized up the irritable little girl.

This little girl, the one who uses the Water Form Secret Technique, seems to have already become an independent and complete life form.

The man pushed up his glasses, a cruel and crazed smile playing on his lips, and said, "My daughter, tear her to pieces!"

In the blink of an eye, the little girl's enormous body had almost filled the size of the courtyard. Suddenly, she raised her arm, and it visibly expanded and grew into a giant fist several meters wide, poised to smash down on Jieluo.

The next second, a flash of light appeared.

Onikiri!

Her hair curled around the Onikiri at Yura's waist, which transformed into a flash of light and cut straight down on the little girl's head. Then, the light flashed like a storm, and in the blink of an eye, cuts covered the little girl's entire body. As if she had lost some kind of support, the little girl's body shattered into pieces, the cuts were perfectly smooth.

Yura's hair curled around Onikiri and flew back into Yura's hand. Holding the sword in one hand, she swung it with a hint of disdain, causing rows of water droplets to splash onto the ground, creating splashes. Yura then sheathed the sword.

It looks like we chopped something that wasn't very clean.

"Daddy~~~" The little girl cried, trying to turn back, but it was too late. She could only sob and scream, "It's so cold—!! So cold, so cold—!! I'm so scared—!!"

Cold?

With a heart-wrenching scream, the little girl's body suddenly disintegrated, turning into a shower of water that crashed to the ground.

The man's crazed smile froze. Watching this scene, his eyes locked onto the sword at Yura's waist, and he cried out in disbelief, "Onikiri!!!"

With a frenzied glint in his eyes, he gripped the water sword in his hand and slowly walked down from Jieluo.

"Oh, you're coming straight at me, not running away, but actively approaching me?" She really was a madwoman. Jie Luo smiled faintly, her scarlet eyes fixed on the man, and said, "What other interesting performances do you have to satisfy me?"

"The Kusanagi clan..." The man's smile twisted into a madness as he said, "How can I kill you if I don't get close to you?"

The logic is sound, but to have come this far, are they really not afraid of being shut down?

A normal ninja definitely couldn't do this.

Amidst the whooshing sounds of air being cut, the Uji clan ninjas, drawn by the battle, stood on the walls, some crouching, some standing. Without the clan leader's order, none of them made a move, their eyes fixed on the black-haired, red-eyed girl in the center of the arena.

The man stopped, standing seven or eight meters away from Jie Luo. Then, with a cruel smile, he stabbed himself in the left hand with a knife, followed by forming a hand seal and pressing his palm to the ground.

This seal is just a regular psychic spell.

But with this amount of bleeding, is it okay to perform a psychic ritual? You're so naive.

Jie Luo tilted his head, utterly unable to comprehend the madman's thoughts.

"Die!!!"

The smoke from the psychic summoning exploded, but nothing was actually summoned.

Jieluo looked up at the ugly soul in mid-air, twisted, terrifying, bizarre, and human-like.

Jie Luo frowned slightly, somewhat taken aback by the ugliness.

To put it bluntly, it looks like a maggot, with a human head on its head and three candles stuck in its skull. The cold candlelight flickers. It has no feet, holds a nail in one hand and a hammer in the other. It is obese, with tire rings wrapped around its body. It has sparse hair on its head and looks like a woman. It has two shriveled water bags hanging on its chest. It is about the size of an infant.

Is this... something strangely cute coming from the little demon's mouth?

It was indeed a spirit form similar to a spiritification technique.

"Time!!! Kill this woman!"

Based on the principle of proximity, this peculiar little thing should lock onto and attack Jieluo immediately.

Jieluo looked into its eyes...

It can see me; both of us have confirmed this.

Yura placed her hand on the hilt of the Onikiri sword.

It turned its head and disappeared from Jieluo's sight with a whoosh.

The next second, in the arena, a Uji ninja on the wall screamed in agony, clutching his head, and fell uncontrollably off the wall. The surrounding ninjas were in an uproar. Xiao Biezhi, holding a nail and hammer, flicking his tongue and carrying a water bag, excitedly and cruelly smashed the ninja's head again and again. In just a moment, the ninja bled from all seven orifices, collapsed to the ground dead with a pained and ferocious expression. Xiao Biezhi immediately moved on to the next target.

Upon seeing his clansman who had died suddenly, the man was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage and screamed wildly.

"No! No! Kill this woman! Kill this woman!"

Jie Luo rubbed his forehead, and with a wave of his hand, he unleashed a slash.

"It's so noisy."

In an instant, the man was completely unaware of the approaching death; his body was vertically cleaved in two.

Screams erupted across the scene as the small creature wreaked havoc among the ninjas. Faced with an unseen, invisible attack, the Uji clan ninjas, their bodies bleeding from all seven orifices, died in horrific ways without any external wounds. Filled with panic, they could no longer care about Yura. Faced with the summoning beast released by their clan leader, some of them broke down in terror and scattered in all directions.

After observing for a while, Jieluo discovered that the attack was related to the strength of the spirit; some ninjas could withstand more hits, while others could not.

Hashirama Senju could probably withstand several hundred hits, probably...

Now, apart from a summoning scroll, the Uji clan has no other spoils of war. Moreover, with these unique little creatures as henchmen, Yura is spared the trouble of lifting a finger.

Indeed...

"So cute..."

All you need to do now is check the confirmation results.

The only passage connecting the entire secret hideout to the outside world was blocked by invisible strands of hair, ensuring that no one could escape.

"Let's go, the Uji clan is finished." Yura turned and walked towards the main house, saying, "Go, find the spirit scroll. It would be even better if we could find the secret scroll."

Shuichi, his face ashen, asked, "Lord Yura, what was that thing just now?"

"You saw it?"

"No!" Shuichi shook his head vigorously.

"The true form of the shrine at the hour of the 11 PM," Jieluo said. "It's best if I didn't see it, otherwise I'd have nightmares tonight."

"Lord Yura, you will protect me, won't you..." Shuichi whispered anxiously.

You little brat...

Yura turned her head, her scarlet eyes staring dangerously at Shuichi.

Xiuyi chuckled awkwardly, "There's no need for Lord Jieluo to do it."
