I'm retrieving corpses in Konoha.

"Captain Itachi, what do we do?" one of the Chunin asked Itachi, turning his gaze away from the situation.

Uchiha Itachi looked at the ground beneath his feet. The traces of the corpse had been cleaned up completely, without even a trace of blood left.

After a moment's thought, Itachi Uchiha said, "Let's go help too. The battle will probably end today."

Everyone responded in unison and followed Itachi Uchiha, chasing after Natsu Uchiha's retreating figure.

.

At this moment, inside the main gate of the town.

The outer earthen wall has been blasted open, creating a gap several meters wide.

The town's main gate was also completely smashed open, with rubble and pieces of iron scattered everywhere.

Smoke and dust filled the air, but were gently dispersed by a breeze, leaving a tense atmosphere.

Inside the main gate, on the open street, a large middle-aged man stood in the center, engaged in a fierce battle with several ninjas.

The middle-aged man was crackling with electricity, even his eyes seemed to glow blue, exuding an aura of authority without anger.

On the other side was the Uchiha team led by Uchiha Aokiji.

However, they all looked rather disheveled.

Several mangled corpses lay on the ground around them; they were Chunin and Genin from the Uchiha clan.

The corpse's skin showed signs of burning, marks left by a lightning ninjutsu attack.

Not far behind the middle-aged man stood a row of Cloud Ninja.

But none of them made a move; instead, they watched the Uchiha ninja's disheveled appearance with amusement.

Previously, they had suffered many losses due to the Sharingan. So many powerful Cloud Village experts were helpless against this town, and they had long been extremely frustrated.

Therefore, they all feel a sense of vengeful pleasure now.

On Konoha's side, Captain Uchiha Aoki's expression was extremely grim.

He had always believed that the Sharingan was the most powerful eye technique, and that few could stop it.

Although he was not as good as the Eighth Generation, he was confident that he could easily defeat him as long as he did not encounter a Kage-level or Jinchuriki-level powerhouse.

This is actually the thought of most Uchiha.

Because the vast majority of their clansmen join the Konoha Police Force after graduation, and very few go to the battlefield.

This leads to them, without the baptism of war, not recognizing their own true strength.

This was also the first time that Uchiha Aokiji had gone to the battlefield to participate in a war.

I thought we would defeat the enemy with overwhelming force, thus demonstrating the strength of the Uchiha clan.

As a result, they were repeatedly defeated by the Cloud Village team, and only then did they realize that there are always people more capable than themselves.

However, even so, Uchiha Aoki still believed that his side would win.

Just now, this powerful enemy named Ye Yueqiao smashed open the earthen wall and the city gate.

Furthermore, he single-handedly overpowered more than a dozen of them, killing several Chunin and Genin, and severely injuring him as well.

Uchiha Aokiji then realized how narrow-minded his clan had been.

"Perhaps, only by awakening the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan can one possess the true power of the Uchiha clan," Uchiha Aomori said with a bitter smile.

"Father."

Just then, Uchiha Tekka retreated to Aomori's side, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said breathlessly:

"Quickly, find someone to inform Senior Xia. Only when he arrives can we defeat this person!"

Uchiha Aoki frowned and snorted coldly:

"I've already sent people to tell them to escape immediately. The captain's son is a genius comparable to Shisui; we absolutely cannot let him die here."

After a pause, Uchiha Aomori continued, "As for Uchiha Natsu, he escaped with Itachi's help and thus survived."

"Senior Xia is really strong. He can even create ten shadow clones at the same time, and each of them is stronger than me!" Uchiha Tetsuka stomped his feet anxiously.

"That's absolutely impossible. Besides, unless you have a kaleidoscope, no one can defeat this person, let alone that blind kid Xia!"

Uchiha Aomori initially wanted to reprimand the stubborn Uchiha Tetsuka, but then he remembered that they were about to be wiped out, so he abandoned the idea.

Since we're all going to die here anyway, there's no point in arguing about this.

His only regret was that he couldn't send Tiehuo away.

Because Tiehu is a Jonin, he must stay here to fight against Yeyue Qiao, otherwise he will not be able to face the other clansmen who remain here.

Seeing his father's stubbornness, Uchiha Tetsuka couldn't help but sigh heavily in his heart.

Even if you don't believe it, you could at least try. After all, in their eyes, Uchiha Natsu is a hopeless good-for-nothing, isn't he?

Uchiha Tetsuka believed that as long as Uchiha Natsuichi arrived, he would definitely let these clansmen know how ridiculous his behavior was.

Just then, Tetsuha suddenly noticed a figure appearing behind the Cloud Village ninja formation.

Chapter 39 Night Moon Qiao

"Senior Xia has arrived!"

Uchiha Tetsuka recognized Uchiha Natsu at a glance and was overjoyed.

If Uchiha Natsu arrives, they will be saved!

Meanwhile, Uchiha Aoki, who was fighting Yotsuki Joe, immediately spotted Uchiha Itachi next to Uchiha Natsu.

"Why didn't they escape?!"

Uchiha Aoki was momentarily stunned when Yotsuki Joe's lightning-encrusted fist slammed into his chest.

"boom!"

Uchiha Aoki was blasted dozens of meters away, crashing heavily into a house and smashing the wall through.

"puff!"

After struggling to crawl out from the wood chips and piles of stones, Uchiha Aoki suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his Sharingan instantly faded.

Although, in the heat of the moment, he managed to gather chakra in front of him and block part of the attack.

However, it still suffered a powerful impact.

Now, his chakra is abnormally disordered, and his internal organs have suffered great damage.

The injuries were already very serious, and it was impossible for him to continue fighting.

However, what he was worried about now was not himself, but Itachi Uchiha's team.

Just as Uchiha Aomori was about to try to mobilize his chakra, blood gushed from his mouth again.

"hateful!"

Now, even staying conscious is extremely difficult for him, and he is completely unable to mobilize his chakra.

"Father!" Uchiha Tetsuka cried out in grief upon seeing this.

With his Sharingan activated, he could clearly see that Uchiha Aoki's chakra was abnormally disordered, and knew that his father's injuries were not optimistic.

Therefore, Uchiha Tetsuka used the Body Flicker Technique to break away from the battle and arrive at Uchiha Aomori's side.

"Father, how are you!" Uchiha Tetsuka asked anxiously, only to find himself completely helpless.

"What are you doing here!" Uchiha Aomori said anxiously, coughing between words, "Quickly go and protect Itachi and the others as they retreat!"

“No need, Senior Xia is here.” Uchiha Tetsuka shook his head, insisting on staying by Uchiha Aomori’s side.

"How could you be like this..." Uchiha Aomori instinctively wanted to scold him.

But a quick glance revealed a scene that shocked him.

Suddenly, Uchiha Natsu appeared behind the Cloud Village team, quickly forming hand seals and instantly creating nine shadow clones.

Ten shadow clones, each holding a Lightning Release Rasengan, suddenly hurled it from behind the Cloud Village team.

The Cloud Village forces had barely discovered Uchiha Natsu's presence when they were subjected to a brutal and inhumane attack.

"Boom boom boom!"

Violent explosions rang out one after another, accompanied by blood, flesh, brick and wood chips blown into the air, creating a horrific scene.

The Cloud Village team, consisting of nearly twenty people, was bombarded repeatedly by the Rasengan.

In the end, none of them survived.

All that remained was Yotsuki Joe, who was currently fighting against the Konoha team.

Ye Yueqiao has also stopped fighting and is looking at the tragic scene behind her with a solemn expression.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Uchiha clan members were finally able to escape and distance themselves from Yotsuki Joe.

"Are these shadow clones...? This person is very strong!" Ye Yueqiao thought to herself.

He had assumed that the two guys, who were about his age, were the strongest here, and he even mocked the Uchiha clan in his heart, thinking they were nothing special.

But now, he discovered that this seemingly young man in front of him was stronger than all the others combined.

Konoha has produced another genius like this.

"We must take care of him here!"

As Ye Yueqiao made her decision, her chakra surged wildly within her.

"drink!"

He shouted and, just like the Fourth Raikage, activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

"Crack!"

Ye Yueqiao's hair stood on end, and blue lightning crackled wildly all over his body, greatly enhancing his aura.

Although his Lightning Release Chakra Mode is not as powerful as the Fourth Raikage's, it is still among the top forces in Kumogakure.
