Revitalizing the Uchiha clan starts with becoming a Kage.

Gabriel, who launched a strong attack under the cover of the Wind Release technique, is indeed a Sand Ninja with rich combat experience and who can be entrusted with important tasks. Putting aside his ability to make on-the-spot judgments, his sudden and strong attack is already far superior to most Jonin.

"Clang!"

A kunai swung down from the front.

The general will block from a horizontal position.

The metal collided upwards, and the ear-piercing sound of the impact followed.

"what?"

Feeling the intense vibrations transmitted from above, Jiang Si raised an eyebrow, a rare look of surprise appearing between his brows.

With this speed and power, it can be said that among his past opponents, not to mention special figures like Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura, this Gabriel can be considered an extremely strong existence. Even the Sand Ninja commanders like Fuuka Nyutō and Wolf Fang Avalanche, who wore chakra armor in the Land of Snow, cannot compare to this Gabriel.

Furthermore, and most importantly, unlike the Sand Ninja who easily lost their composure trying to avoid eye contact, this one is clearly still capable of fighting normally. Don't underestimate this "normal"!

Clash with the ninjas of the Uchiha clan.

It is extremely rare to find someone who can evade the Sharingan's genjutsu control while still being able to unleash their full potential!

'I must say, he truly deserves to be trusted by Rasa and appointed as the commander of this northern fortress.'

Seeing that Gabriel had failed in his attack and immediately moved away to readjust his formation, a faint look of appreciation appeared in Si's eyes.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that his own troops were advancing layer by layer, and the Sand Ninja's defenses were simply no match for his subordinates' attacks. Shoji relaxed even more. And it was to be expected. Shoji himself took action and forcibly broke through the defensive barrier, avoiding the first wave of indiscriminate attacks that the Iwa Ninja would have been certain to receive.

In the ensuing chaos, they went into full-on rampage mode, killing more than fifty Sand Ninja directly or indirectly at the hands of Shoji in just a few minutes. Among them were three or four Jonin who were at least of average strength. It can be said that the main battlefield was completely torn apart by Shoji, which is why the Northern Fortress was so crucial. However, the number of Jonin killed was less than twenty.

In just one encounter, one-fifth of them had already died at the hands of Jiang Si. If the Iwa ninja force could not easily suppress the remaining Sand ninja defenses, then they should really give up on their mission. Therefore, the current situation is very favorable. Even if Jiang Si does nothing but keep an eye on Gabriel in front of him, and his subordinates do their best to annihilate the Sand ninja defenses in front of him, it is only a matter of time before they break through this northern fortress.

And it will not exceed two or three hours at most.

This is why Jiang Si can handle things so easily. But compared to Jiang Si, Gabriel's nerves are completely on edge, and his face is solemn. The terrifying pressure he feels when facing Jiang Si directly is more convincing than the crushing situation he saw from a distance before.

Although unwilling to admit it, the boy in front of him, who was only a teenager, was indeed far stronger than himself. To put it bluntly, even his own Kazekage had not given him such a strong sense of pressure.

In other words, deep down, Gabriel had to admit that his Kazekage, Rasa, was not as strong as the boy in front of him. Gabriel had anticipated this as early as when Tsukasa easily broke through the defensive barrier, but now, thinking about it still made him feel extremely incredulous and distressed.

An immense and chilling pressure.

Gabriel dared not relax at all.

Even though he knew his own troops were being routed, he had no mind or energy left to command them. Whether he could survive depended on the enemy. If the mysterious purple-gold giant's forbidden technique was no longer usable, he might have a 10-20% chance of survival. But if the enemy still had the resources to continue using such terrifying techniques...

Needless to say.

Death awaits him!

It's a situation where there's only a sliver of hope, and even then, it depends on whether the other side "gives you face."

'At least I should try to buy myself more time!'

Gabriel's eyes narrowed, his muscles tensed, and his expression grew even colder.

The more you want to survive, the more you have to fight!

On the battlefield, those who are afraid of death are often the ones who die the fastest. This principle applies to battlefields of all sizes and strengths, and Gabriel, as a 'veteran', naturally understands this.

"Heh heh, seems quite eager for battle, huh? Truly worthy of being valued by the Wind Shadow and entrusted with command of this northern fortress; his magnanimity is truly commendable."

Seeing that this Sand Ninja had not lost any fighting spirit and was staring at him like a beast, Shoji's eyes lit up and he said with a hint of appreciation.

To Jiang Si himself, this was a perfectly normal tone, but he didn't realize that to others, it was an extremely arrogant and haughty display!

At least when Gabriel saw Jiang Si's expression and heard his words, his eyes revealed an extreme look of anger.

Shoji himself may not have realized that deep within his soul lies the pride unique to the Uchiha clan. However, compared to other clan members, Shoji is usually very reserved, outwardly displaying a gentle and humble demeanor. But at certain moments, he cannot control the 'primordial chuunibyou power' within him!

It reveals the arrogance that runs deep in one's bones.

"Heh! A condescending gaze, huh!? This is the Uchiha clan!? Don't underestimate me!"

Gabriel roared.

"Wind Release - Chaotic Air Dance Technique!"

A sudden surge of chakra.

A sudden and violent gust of wind swept in.

"!?"

It seemed as if he had suddenly suffered a severe mental shock.

Instead, it caused the general in front of him to be slightly taken aback.

"boom!"

We had to cope with the sudden, fierce winds and the layers of sand that were swept up.

Although he didn't quite understand why the other side seemed so thoroughly provoked, when it wasn't time to be ambiguous, Jiang Si wouldn't show any mercy.

"Buzz!"

That terrifying energy fluctuation spread out.

A figure stepping forward.

"Shh!"

The dazzling lightning that clings to the katana!

With a sudden, powerful strike.

"boom!"

Strong pressure from the front.

Despite being clearly outmatched, they decisively and head-on defeated the sudden attack of the Wind Release technique.

213. Killing and Conquering (Third Update)

A spell attack that can be easily broken from the front.

Although he was mentally prepared, Gabriel still felt a chill run down his spine when he saw this scene. But there was no turning back now, not to mention that he had no way out and could only be forced to face the attack head-on.

A chilling gleam emanated from the blade.

"Humph!"

Jiang Si's eyes narrowed, and a hint of murderous intent flashed between his brows.

Front view, bottom.

"Clang!"

The katana was swung down with a flourish.

"So heavy! So cumbersome!"

With barely managing to cross his arms and use two kunai to block the attack at his limit, Shoji completely ignored the magatama slowly rotating in his pupils and Gabriel, who dared not meet his gaze at all.

The handprints were formed at lightning speed.

"Lightning Release - Lightning Descent Technique!"

Suddenly, everything became clear.

A sudden downpour of thunder.

"!?"

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle!"

The moment of blossoming.

A burst of lightning.

"Aaaaaaah!?"

In less than 0.5 seconds, Gabriel, who was caught off guard, was trembling and convulsing uncontrollably. He tried to pull away with his last bit of strength, but this time, Shoji was clearly not going to give this Sand Village Jonin commander any chance to dodge or escape.

"Earth Release: Rock Binding Technique!"

Taking advantage of the opponent's inability to control their body freely, the technique was released once again. As the soil on the ground was suddenly stirred up and spread upwards, it firmly imprisoned Gabriel's lower body. This was a technique that was not easy to break free from, and Gabriel still had the paralyzing and trembling effect of the Lightning Release technique on his body!

The last shred of resistance has been completely lost!

A flash of bloodlust crossed Jiang Si's dark, scarlet pupils.

The katana slammed down fiercely.

"Clang!"

"Crack!"

"boom!"

The kunai was already unable to withstand the pressure and shattered directly.

"Pfft!"

The kunai, along with its two palms, appeared to be the limbs that had been smoothly and rounded off by Shoji.

"Aaaaaaah!?"

As the severed limb fell and blood gushed forth, Gabriel's shrill screams rang out. But Jiang Si's blade showed no sign of stopping, aiming for the vital spot in the chest, and suddenly slashed down with a cold blade.

"Shh!"

"Pfft!"

"Well!?"

It was the dull sound of metal piercing flesh, and for Gabriel, it was like a blow to the very depths of his soul, a piercing pain that spread throughout his body with the cold, metallic feel.

A body trembling endlessly.

"You...you...guy..."

The copious amount of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, his twisted and ferocious face, and the various negative emotions intertwined with resentment, anger, regret, and hatred clearly revealed deep within his pupils—none of this could change the outcome before him.

Go to hell!

Furthermore, it would not allow the general's expression to change in the slightest.
