Ninjutsu intertwined, explosions roared, and Konoha found itself on shaky ground beneath Kumogakure's full-strength onslaught.
Guided by C's command, the Kumogakure troops formed an exhausting deluge, ceaselessly bombarding Konoha's defense line with thunder and lightning. The Konoha's defensive circle resembled a tattered net, riddled with holes, and lives were extinguished with every passing second.
"Damn, these Cloud Ninja barbarians seem determined to breach our defenses from this side. Uchiha Ken, command everyone to use the fire release. Calculate the timing precisely and continuously incinerate those groups of Cloud Ninja bodies rushing in!"
Uchiha Kagami stared coldly at C and the elite army behind him, maintaining a sardonic expression as he calmly issued orders.
"Uchiha Ken, have the remaining clansmen pair up. One wields weapons, and the other uses the Sharingans's illusion to eliminate those breaking through the defense line."
"Yes, Clan Head!"
A group of Uchiha ninjas unsheathed their daggers, their scarlet eyes ablaze as they advanced towards a line of Cloud Ninjas.
Empowered by the Sharingan, they possessed not only formidable insight in melee combat but also the unexpected ability to employ illusions. Undoubtedly, they represented the most elite forces aligned with the Sarutobi clan. Only they could confront Kumogakure's elite troops head-on and emerge victorious.
"Uchiha clan, all of you who possess Three Tomoe Sharingan, Cooperate with me later!"
Observing his clansmen fiercely battling Cloud Ninjas, Uchiha Kagami looked solemnly at the three Uchiha Ninjas beside him.
"Kagami-sama we are going to..."
Uchiha Kagami glanced at Uchiha Ken and the others, his expression somewhat unpleasant, but he continued, "C's power is overwhelming. While I'm not afraid of him, a direct confrontation will be difficult for me to manage alone. I must prevent him from joining other ninjas in the fray."
"What do you mean—"
"Later, we'll deal with C together. Find a way to use illusions to help me restrain him, and let's face him together!"
Several Uchiha ninjas were taken aback, then nodded with somewhat uneasy expressions.
The Uchiha clan, always proud and arrogant, witnessed Uchiha Kagami seeking assistance against an adversary, revealing his acknowledgment of his inferiority. However, considering C's toughness, his arrogant demeanor, and the overwhelming strength displayed that day, Uchiha Kagami's assessment was reluctantly accepted.
Uchiha Kagami frowned as he observed the distant, tragic war. C also scrutinized the battle, lightning flickering across his body.
"Damn, why are these Cloud Ninjas so formidable? Is the second-generation Raikage intending to obliterate Konoha?"
On the battlefield, Uchiha Ken couldn't help muttering while witnessing the intense struggle.
Though the Land of Lightning lacked developed resources and economy, its military strength ranked second only to Konoha. The second-generation Raikage, being militant, increased the pressure on Konoha once committed to breaching the defense line.
While Kumogakure may have exerted maximum effort, Konoha's astute clans were not to be underestimated. If C's army approached, a direct confrontation was guaranteed!
"Uchiha Kagami, let's continue our last battle. I'm going to break your defenses personally!"
After a prolonged gaze at the impregnable Konoha defense line, C finally shouted and charged towards the Cloud Ren. Under Uchiha Kagami's guidance, the Uchiha ninjas fought with coordinated precision. With the cooperation and support of other Konoha ninjas possessing various abilities, they successfully contained Cloud Ninja's offensive and repelled them repeatedly.
Compared to Uchiha Kagami's precise commands, C's tactical arrangements seemed hurried, almost recklessly impulsive. His robust physical abilities allowed him to move continuously, but this made his actions somewhat monotonous and lacking in coordination.
Naturally, this reflected the overall simplicity of Cloud Ninjas' general abilities.
"Come on, Uchiha Kagami!"
C bellowed loudly, lightning flickering across his body as his speed surged in Lightning Chakra mode. Before the horrified eyes of the Uchiha ninjas, he breathed out flames, punching through several Uchiha clansmen. Red blood scattered in the distance, marking their direct demise!
The ferocious presence and overwhelming strength caused the Konoha ninjas nearby to quiver. Witnessing this demonic figure in action boosted the morale of the Cloud Ninjas, who charged forward with enthusiasm.
"Long live Mr. C!"
"Follow Lord C's lead!"
Under C Shiru's aggressive charge, a group of Cloud Ren quickly dispatched many Uchiha clansmen, intensifying the urgency of the battle.
"Damn! Uchiha Man, Jiekang, Yehua, stop him with me!"
Kagura Uchiha, joining the battle without a word, attacked C from all directions. Furious, she rushed over and drew her katana, aiming to behead him.
Uchiha Man hesitated momentarily, then dashed forward, activating his three-hooked jade writing wheel.
Ultimately, he was the most powerful ninja in this group. Uchiha Kagami had enlisted his help, intending to cultivate him as long as he survived!
"Ha ha!"
Uchiha touched his eyes. After Ye Long's "Initiation Dafa" forcibly opened his eyes, he gained some experience in illusions. Ye Long even taught him a few tricks to pretend to be a senior in front of him, using the spiritual power he excelled in.
"I won't let you down, my patriarch!"
Uchiha sneered, joining the other two Joinin to confront the charging C!
"Hell Assault: Two Fingers!"
"Kenjutsu: Instant Slash!"
As if continuing their previous duel, C aimed directly at Uchiha Kagami, his Lightning Release Chakra Mode transforming into the strongest spear, shooting toward him.
During the sprint, Uchiha Kagami transformed into six virtual and real figures. The six afterimages slashed simultaneously, merging into an incredibly sharp slash!
"Genjutsu!"
Uchiha Ken and two other Uchiha Joinin simultaneously used illusions to interfere!
"Yeah!"
Lightning burst from C's shoulder, a long, narrow wound appearing with blood spilling. Uchiha Kagami's attack didn't disappoint, but C's thrust passed him by, tearing one of Uchiha Kagami's cuffs!
"Cut, you despicable fellow!"
C sneered at Uchiha Kagami, carelessly wiping off the blood on his shoulders. Uchiha Kagami's face was extremely ugly!
"Is our illusion only this effective?!"
A Uchiha Joinin, who had used illusions to interfere, turned pale in shock. Although C was too fast to employ the most potent illusions, C's steel-like tenacity exceeded his imagination!
The three-hooked jade in Uchiha Kagami's eyes connected, his face very grim. He couldn't inflict much damage on C with his blows, and C seemed to have some immunity to illusions, with thunder chakra significantly reducing the impact on his nerves!
"Come on! Come on!"
C roared, rushing at Uchiha Kagami again, seemingly possessing an invincible body, unafraid of injury!
"Humph!"
Uchiha Kagami fought back with his own sword skills, this time not daring to use his full strength. The three Uchiha's illusion skills were evidently not as fast and reactive as him, requiring him to remain cautious to dodge. Once caught in the front, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"Damn! Does this guy have unlimited chakra?"
Although the four of them barely restrained C, Uchiha felt embarrassed. The three of them seemed like clowns, and C moved around effortlessly, even starting to pant!
C had grown stronger and stronger!
The battlefield situation intensified, and Sarutobi Hiruzen removed his ninja vest, coldly eyeing the second-generation Raikage Ai, who was also gearing up in the distance!
"Aiya! Is the real battle about to start? Sarutobi-sensei, you have to take it easy!"
Orochimaru licked the incredibly sharp Kusanagi sword in his hand, excitedly watching the four Kage-levels fiercely battling in the distance. The momentum on his body gradually increased.
At his feet lay a dozen or so lifeless Cloud Ninjas, and behind him stood Jiraiya and Tsunade with astonished eyes.
The surrounding Cloud Ninjaslooked at the boy in white clothes and black hair with horror, involuntarily avoiding this area, searching for other Konoha ninjas to capture and kill.
