Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

But this time, Konoha didn't just bring the Sharingan!

"The wielder of the Executioner's Blade, Juzo Biwa, is five meters to Jiraiya's left, Raiga Kurosuki is eighteen meters in front of Inoichi, and Suigetsu Hozuki... Lord Fugaku, watch out for your left!"

The veins on both sides of Hizashi's eyes bulged, and his all-seeing white eyes were already open, easily reporting the location of everyone.

The three ninja swordsmen in the shadows gritted their teeth; with their Byakugan abilities, they couldn't even retreat.

Simultaneously.

The sound of breaking wind was heard.

A heavy punch came crashing down on the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon.

With a dull thud, fortunately, Kisame Hoshigaki used Samehada to defend himself in time. Samehada's spikes pierced through the bandages and absorbed Jiraiya's chakra, preventing him from suffering serious injuries.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

"Water escape! Water dragon bullet!"

The fireball collided with the water dragon, causing the mist that had just been dispersed to re-enter the fog. Pipa Juzo, wielding his Executioner's Blade, slipped into the mist and seized the opportunity to slash at Fugaku's neck.

As the three tomoe in Fugaku's eyes swirled, he saw through all of Biwa Juzo's attacks.

"boom!"

The kunai blocked the decapitation sword, and the two immediately began fighting in the thick fog.

"This won't do. If we don't get rid of this Byakugan, we won't be able to escape." Kurosuki Raiga's expression was solemn. His lightning blade was wrapped in chakra, crackling with electricity, and surging thunder roared towards Hizashi.

"Secret technique! Parasites!"

As the swarm of insects danced, Aburame Shiki perfectly deflected the incoming lightning attack.

All three ninja swords have met their match!

Seeing that the three ninja swords had all been stopped, Hyuga Hizashi, who had been somewhat nervous, relaxed and continued to activate his Byakugan to lock onto the location of the three ninja swords.

"If all seven ninja swords were present, the outcome of this battle would be uncertain. After all, Suigetsu Hozuki, who possesses Samehada, could limit Jiraiya to some extent, and the other ninja swords also have their own abilities."

"But now we only have three ninja swords, and no one can restrict us. Suzaku, Inoichi, and I are completely free to do as we please!"

Richa is full of confidence.

The outcome of the battle was already decided by killing the Blood Mist Blade with its bizarre moves at the very beginning. Hizashi knew very well just how much of a role a secret arts family, which could freely use secret arts, could play on the battlefield.

They won this battle!

"Haiyi, Zhuque, you... Haiyi?!"

"Pfft!"

Yamanaka Inoichi had collapsed to the ground, and now a blade protruded from Nara Suzaku's chest.

His heart was pierced!

"How can this be?!"

Looking at that familiar young face, Hyuga Hizashi was filled with shock.

"What do you mean it's impossible? Are you saying I'm still alive, or that I can escape your glare?"

Dropping the Nara Suzaku in his hand, and hearing the system notification in his ear, Ye revealed a cold smile.

The surprise attack by those guys from Konoha was truly terrifying; Yoru didn't even have a chance to use his Ethereal Cicada technique before he was locked on.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, he decisively redeemed a physical body from the system shop, thus escaping disaster.

Yes.

What was completely devoured by the swarm of insects was not Night's physical body, but his artificial body!

That's a whopping 10,000 points!

"And the reason I was able to evade your attacks and avoid your disdainful looks..."

With a burst of speed, Yoru's figure appeared in front of Hyuga Hizashi in the blink of an eye. He swung his sword from bottom to top, and Hizashi instinctively leaned back to dodge. However, Yoru managed to knock off the headband tied to his forehead with a single strike.

The ugly caged bird curse mark was revealed.

"It's not because my hiding skills are so superb, but because of you, Hyuga branch family."

"Wha, what?!"

Ye gave a cold laugh.

Due to the curse of the Caged Bird Seito, the Byakugan of the Hyuga branch family will be limited, with a visual blind spot extending 1° backward from the first thoracic vertebra. It is through this blind spot that Yoru is able to evade the Byakugan's detection.

Looking at Hyuga Hizashi, whose face was disheveled and whose head was covered with ugly curse marks, a look of pity appeared in Yoru's eyes.

The only value of a creature locked in a birdcage is to become part of the night's points balance!

"Pfft!"

With a swift stroke, a bloody gash appeared on Hyuga Hizashi's face, cutting the caged bird in two from its neck down the neck.

Hyuga Hizashi's eyes were wide open, seemingly unable to believe that this was his end. The commotion also attracted the attention of the others.

"Wind Escape! Big breakthrough!"

A howling wind, carrying a powerful chakra, forcefully dispersed the pervasive mist.

Jiraiya and Fugaku Uchiha happened to witness Yoruichi killing Hizashi.

Looking at the lifeless bodies of Yamanaka Inoichi and Nara Suzaku beside them, both Jiraiya and Uchiha Fugaku's expressions turned completely grim.

Even Aburame Shii, who was usually stern and unsmiling, experienced a huge emotional fluctuation at this moment.

"Well done, Yo!"

Suigetsu Hozuki was overjoyed and used Samehada in his hand to forcefully increase the distance between himself and Jiraiya.

Pipa Juzo and Kurosuki Raiga also had beaming smiles on their faces.

Without the white eyes, their whereabouts cannot be tracked, and they can retreat at any time.

Without members of the Yamanaka and Nara clans, their upcoming battles will not be hindered by external forces.

That is to say...

They could even try to leave these guys here!

Chapter 21 Binding Spell: Eighty-One Severing of the Void!

"Well done, kid!"

Juzo Biwa laughed loudly, letting out an angry roar. His Executioner's Blade, covered in chakra, slashed down with overwhelming force towards Fugaku Uchiha.

Fugaku Uchiha's gaze narrowed slightly as he held a kunai in his hand to block the heavy blow from the Executioner's Blade.

The two became entangled in an instant, sparks flying everywhere in a flash.

boom! !

In an instant, Juzo Biwa was sent flying backward, crashing next to Raiga Kurosuki. He coughed and stood up, blood dripping from his left hand, a long, narrow wound from a kunai.

"Damn Sharingan."

"You idiot, you actually thought of competing with the Uchiha clan in swordsmanship."

Raiga Kurosuki glanced at Juzo Biwa and said expressionlessly.

"Then tell me how to fight!"

When facing members of the Uchiha clan, they must multitask during battle, constantly surging their chakra to prevent being controlled by genjutsu.

In this situation, it might be manageable against some ordinary three-tomoe Jonin, but it wouldn't work against a top-tier powerhouse like Uchiha Fugaku, who is known for his "fierce eyes".

In top-level combat, getting distracted is tantamount to suicide!

"We can't continue fighting. Our injuries haven't fully healed yet. Fighting this guy head-on is just suicide!"

The two exchanged glances and moved simultaneously.

Raiga Kurosuki charged toward Jiraiya, his lightning blades flashing as the surging lightning illuminated the ground in a ghastly white light.

Meanwhile, Juzo Biwa rushed towards the night, his hand secretly holding a coded message to convey the order to retreat.

Night and the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon understood each other perfectly, turned around and left at an incredible speed, fleeing into the distance.

"Don't even think about running away!"

The swarm of insects danced wildly, but were all struck down by Black Hoshino's lightning.

Suddenly, the surrounding environment changed inexplicably, and a special kind of flesh appeared out of nowhere.

The four people who were about to escape all changed their expressions and were trapped inside. Only Ye, with the help of the burst of Shunpo, managed to break free at the moment the trap closed!

"Ninja Art! Toad Mouth Binding Technique!"

Within the fleshy walls, Jiraiya stared coldly at the three ninja swords before him, and slowly rose to his feet.

"None of you are leaving today!"

"Damn..."

Suigetsu Hozuki gripped Samehada tightly, and fleshy walls sprouted wildly around it, trying to devour them: "Looks like we've really angered this guy."

Black Hoe Raiya swung his lightning blade, but the flashing lightning could only leave some gray-black marks on its surface.

"This is a special barrier technique; it cannot be broken in a short time."

"As long as the caster is killed, this barrier will be broken!"

Juzo Biwa gripped his Executioner's Blade, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down: "So what if they are the legendary Sannin? They were our target to begin with, weren't they?"

"Ah, that's right."

"Three against one, the advantage is on our side!"

The three men held ninja swords, while Jiraiya remained silent.

But those cold eyes seemed to have already sealed the fate of this battle.

Meanwhile, the outside world.

Using Shunpo, Yoru forcefully broke free from Jiraiya's toad mouth binding technique, but the moment he landed, a pair of scarlet three-tomoe jade pendants came into view.

"boom!"

Yoru's pupils contracted sharply as the sound of kunai clashing with Asahi's clash rang out. Yoru blocked an attack from Fugaku Uchiha, but Fugaku countered with a punch that landed on Yoru's chest.

Unfortunately, it still didn't work out.

With a burst of speed, Night appeared on the rooftop of a nearby pavilion, his gaze cautiously fixed on Uchiha Fugaku before him.

[S-rank target 'Uchiha Fugaku' detected; side quest triggered;]

[Mission (1): Successfully defeat Uchiha Fugaku. Reward: 50000 points.]

[Mission (2): Successfully recruit Uchiha Fugaku. Reward: 80000 points.]

[Mission (3): Successfully kill Uchiha Fugaku. Reward: 200000 points.]

The system's voice came through his ear, and the rating criteria, exactly the same as Jiraiya's, indicated the formidable strength of the guy in front of him.

The current head of the Uchiha clan, the owner of the Mangekyou Sharingan, and one of Konoha's top combatants, known as the "Fierce Eye."

Uchiha Fugaku!

Yoru was faced with some of Konoha's top fighters, including Jiraiya, Might Guy, and Fugaku Uchiha. Yoru didn't know if he was just incredibly lucky or incredibly unlucky.

Jiraiya's terrifying gaze was absolutely genuine; the three legendary Sannin were completely enraged. Needless to say, the fate of the three ninja swordsmen was sealed—they were practically doomed.

Add to that pair of kaleidoscopes in front of him, and he can't even scratch it!

"Good luck, three ninja masters. I don't need these 15,000 points."

Glancing at Fugaku Uchiha and then at the three ninja swords completely encased in the stomach of a toad, Yoru didn't hesitate for a moment. He unleashed his Shunpo technique and ran off into the distance without looking back.

"You stay here to support Jiraiya-sama, I'll go after them."

Fugaku Uchiha spoke coldly to Shiki Aburame, then pushed off with his feet and quickly chased after the departing figure.

The reason he followed Jiraiya here was because of the night.

The wind generated by his rapid movement whistled past his ears. Night glanced behind him, his brows furrowing: "They actually caught up. With that speed, you're the real Shisui of the Body Flicker..."
