...Wait, that is...
Uchiha Tenxiu was just sighing in his heart when he suddenly noticed a figure lying near the center of that area, faintly gasping for breath.
Damn it, someone actually survived such a Forbidden Technique attack? Did he cheat too?
Uchiha Tenxiu was momentarily puzzled.
The next second, Uchiha Tenxiu directly activated his Sharingan. Two pitch-black tomoe rotated in his red pupils, and a large amount of Chakra was injected. His Sharingan's long-range vision activated, covering a distance of about eight hundred meters without any obstruction, allowing Uchiha Tenxiu to clearly see the figure's state and the face reflected in his eyes.
It was actually Elder Uchiha Ming.
Upon seeing this, Uchiha Tenxiu immediately showed a playful smile: "Whoo! I really hit the jackpot! A low-health Uchiha Ming, and those eyes, a newly awakened Mangekyo Sharingan, how lucky! Is this fate..."
The next second.
"You're dead! No one can save you."
Uchiha Tenxiu's face showed a cruel and bloodthirsty expression.
Clearly, Uchiha Tenxiu had made up his mind to kill this low-health Uchiha Ming.
Never mind that Uchiha Ming was Clan Head Level, had awakened his Mangekyo Sharingan, and had reached Kage level.
That he might not be an opponent or anything.
Uchiha Tenxiu knew clearly.
The opponent was obviously heavily injured with low health, and his newly awakened Mangekyo Sharingan couldn't be used skillfully.
This was the best opportunity. If he didn't seize this chance to eliminate the opponent, that would be the real disaster!
"Moreover, with fate on my side, the opponent has been delivered right before my eyes. That means the opponent's destiny has been completely suppressed by me, leading to an inevitable death. If I let him go, I wouldn't be able to look myself in the eye!"
What seemed like complex thoughts took only a second to solidify into a decision. Uchiha Tenxiu immediately focused his mind on the upcoming battle and initiated his combat plan.
His true body couldn't be used.
Shadow Clone.
Hmm, an Advanced Shadow Clone Technique specifically for combat.
To gather intelligence with it.
Judging from the opponent's injuries, it was clearly not an ability with an invincible effect, nor was it a spatial Ninjutsu that could evade attacks. Mental attacks and rule-based Ninjutsu were also not it, otherwise the opponent would be completely unharmed.
So, excluding these.
What Uchiha Ming possessed should be a powerful physical attack ability, or a type that nullified damage.
A sharp glint flashed in Uchiha Tenxiu's eyes.
He quickly came up with a method to deal with the opponent.
However, before that.
Let the Shadow Clone take action first.
After all, the Uchiha Clan's Mangekyo Sharingan's Ninjutsu were far too strange, so to avoid any mishaps.
Shadow Clone was the most effective Ninjutsu.
Second Hokage.
Regarding the Uchiha Clan.
You truly are a genius!
...
On the other side.
"Hoo... hoo..." Uchiha Ming gasped, unbearable pain constantly radiating from his body. His entire body felt as if it was being slowly tortured, with no part free from agony. This feeling, these injuries, damn the Earth Spider!
Bastard!
Pain, pain, pain... it was truly too painful!
Did Uchiha Raimon suffer this kind of attack too?
How did he survive?
Could it be that, like me, he also awakened...
The Anbu, all the Anbu, they were all dead!
Damn the Earth Spider Clan, they were so vicious.
No, this won't do.
Since the Earth Spider had made a move, it was highly likely someone would come to investigate. This place was no longer safe!
I must go back.
I must rush back to Konoha.
Uchiha Ming's face was pale, his mind racing with thoughts, finally snapping back to reality in terror.
Uchiha Ming wanted to stand up. Severely wounded, he couldn't afford to think about the punishment he would face for making such a mistake and sacrificing two Anbu squads. All he could think about was escaping this dangerous place, rushing back to the safe Konoha, and seeing his son, Uchiha Kagami.
But the next moment.
"Great Ball Rasengan!"
A figure descending from the sky, from a height of a hundred meters, suddenly burst down with lightning speed.
The next instant, a giant blue Chakra sphere the size of a palm suddenly appeared in the center of the figure's downward-reaching hand, instantly expanding dozens to hundreds of times its size.
This was the Rasengan series of Ninjutsu, used by the protagonist Uzumaki Naruto in the original plot. As a transmigrator, how could Uchiha Tenxiu not have trained in Chidori and Rasengan?
And now, as a means to combine with instant thrusts and silent combat, the Rasengan Ninjutsu was perfectly suited. Didn't Uchiha Ming not even react before being struck by his instant arrival?!
Of course, even though Uchiha Ming, a Clan Head Level ninja, was heavily wounded, his newly awakened Mangekyo Sharingan and his instinct as a strong individual still maintained a high level of defensive vigilance. Yet, he still didn't react, which was enough to show the special effect of this combo.
Even the future Fourth Hokage would approve.
At the same time, the spot where the Great Ball Rasengan hit, Uchiha Ming's back, suddenly exploded, as if torn apart by a powerful force. The entire ten-meter radius was enveloped by a huge blue light and a swirling sound wave.
This sound wave, like a roaring storm, swept over with immense power, causing Uchiha Tenxiu's main body on the giant eagle to raise the eagle's flight altitude in response.
And at the center of this sound wave, Uchiha Ming's face became twisted and distorted. He wasn't shattered into dust by this powerful attack; an invisible energy was acting on his body. He widened his eyes and roared, "What a joke! I just awakened my Mangekyo Sharingan, how can I simply die here!" As he roared, he extended his left hand and muttered, "Kagutsuchi: Left Hand, absorb it for me!"
In an instant, a powerful suction force surged from his left hand. The surrounding massive Chakra, as if grabbed by an invisible giant hand, was continuously absorbed into his hand. This was precisely the invisible force that had just acted upon him.
"Kagutsuchi: Left Hand?" On the giant eagle, Uchiha Tenxiu's heart stirred upon seeing this. "So, the ability of his other eye should be Kagutsuchi: Right Hand."
His mind rapidly flashed through various possibilities, considering the steps of his plan and any potential shortcomings.
At the same time, the Shadow Clone Uchiha Tenxiu instantly withdrew his right hand from the Great Ball Rasengan and immediately retreated backward.
His hand movements did not stop; he immediately formed hand signs and then shouted, "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
It looked like a Fire Release hand sign, and he called out Fire Release.
In reality, just as Uchiha Ming's face showed joy and he prepared to extend his hand to absorb it, it had no effect whatsoever.
Instead, under his horrified expression, several earth spikes suddenly shot out from the ground like lightning. Even though Uchiha Ming instinctively tried to desperately dodge, his right leg was still pierced.
With his right leg directly severely injured, he had completely lost any means of escape in the subsequent battle.
And Uchiha Tenxiu's first objective.
Had been completely achieved by this point.
Next, it was time to slowly bleed him dry!
"Ahhh!... You little bastard, you, you tricked me!" Uchiha Ming cursed, the pain piercing him to the bone.
The next instant, Uchiha Ming looked at the familiar face and suddenly remembered something: "Wait, that face of yours..."
"You damn brat, you, you... you're Uchiha Tenxiu, that Raimon's disciple! What do you want to do? Do you intend to rebel, to betray our Uchiha Clan?!" Uchiha Ming stared with bloodshot eyes at the sneering Uchiha Tenxiu not far away, only then realizing that the one who had just ambushed him was a member of the Uchiha Clan.
And he was a child not even ten years old.
What shocked him even more was that the opponent's series of attacks just now had almost taken his life. If it weren't for the passive ability of his newly awakened Mangekyo Sharingan protecting him, he probably would have been instantly killed before he even had a chance to react.
Even though his strength was not at its peak.
But the strength the opponent displayed, how could it be something he, in his current state, could deal with?
Could it be that he would die here today?
"Damn it, I haven't even seen Kagami become Hokage yet, I haven't even become an elder of the clan..." Uchiha Ming felt a surge of unwillingness, but the injury to his thigh forced him to realize that he might indeed be in grave danger.
