The chubby boy, who had been identified as the primary target, took a deep breath.
Breath of Stone – First Form: Rock Body! The boy gripped a mace tightly in his hand, his physique clearly built for strength. His naturally earthy constitution made him an ideal candidate for mastering the Breathing of Stone technique.
This was a defensive technique.
The original version used the swinging of bolas, revolving around the user, to defend against any attack. However, the weapon didn't necessarily need to be a meteor hammer. Any heavy weapon could be used, and as one advanced in the breathing style, modifications would be necessary. After all, each individual had their own style, habits, and physical attributes. Not everyone could utilize the same moves that the legendary Himejima Gyōmei, the Stone Hashira, typically used.
Of course, the chubby boy wasn't at that level yet, so he only made a small change by switching out the meteor hammer for a mace. The overall techniques remained the same, though the specific execution varied.
For instance, in the world of shinobi, where chakra and natural energy exist...
Clang! Sharp claws lashed out at the chubby boy's body, but were blocked by a dark, dense layer of defense.
This wasn't Armament Haki, but a defense based on chakra under the influence of the Breath of Stone technique. Its effect was akin to the Earth Release: Earth Spear, enhancing the body's defensive capabilities.
The creature, a demonic-looking entity, paused in confusion. Its already shrunken brain couldn't comprehend why its attack had failed.
The boy didn't waste the opportunity. With a swift motion, he flicked the chain attached to his mace, binding the creature to his side.
Breath of Flame – First Form: Unknowing Fire!
Breath of Thunder – First Form: Thunderclap and Flash!
A blaze of fire and a streak of lightning erupted from both sides, reaching the demon in an instant.
The demon struggled, the chains creaking, before it suddenly roared.
"Blood Demon Art: Blood Burst!"
Boom—
A burst of crimson light exploded into a cloud of smoke and dust, engulfing all three fighters and the demon.
The sudden explosion startled the surrounding crowd.
Civilians quickly fled the scene, their movements swift and agile; the shinobi among them drew kunai, ready to join the fray at a moment's notice.
Back in his room, Sasuke Uchiha focused on the situation through a unique connection. A portion of his consciousness had transferred to a transformed body, allowing him to fight alongside the security team and ninjas in a direct first-person perspective.
Crack—
"Sasuke" cracked his neck and surveyed his surroundings with a calm, calculated gaze.
The boy using the Breath of Stone stood three meters in front of him, having taken the brunt of the explosion with the defensive power of his breathing technique. He was slightly injured, though not severely, but his breathing rhythm had been thrown off, leaving him winded.
On either side of him, two teammates who had used Breath of Flame and Breath of Thunder were struggling to recover from the blast. Unlike the Breath of Stone, these two breathing styles weren't as adept at defense, and the sudden explosion had caught them off-guard, sending them flying. Although they were still conscious, their injuries were severe.
The remaining security team members quickly closed in. Some maintained their defensive formation, while others moved to assist the wounded. Three of them rushed forward with drawn blades.
"So, we've reached Konoha Village… This body is so fragile, but it'll do for now," Sasuke muttered.
He moved swiftly, dodging a blade that came from behind, his elbow knocking it aside as it clashed with another sword from the front, neutralizing both attacks with ease.
Then, with a quick motion, he landed a punch on the shinobi in front of him.
"Explode!"
Boom—
A layer of blood appeared on Sasuke's fist, detonating on impact and creating a massive shockwave that sent the shinobi flying.
"Hikito-san!" one of the team members cried out in desperation, rushing forward to help.
At the same time, two more shinobi charged at Sasuke from different angles.
Sasuke laughed.
"Well done! Come at me, all of you! Let's see what you so-called 'Demon Slayer Corps' can do! Blood Demon Art: Rampage!"
Blood engulfed Sasuke's body, and he charged headlong into the approaching shinobi.
Wherever he went, shinobi fell.
The blood surrounding his body seemed like an ignited explosive. Anything it touched triggered a violent detonation, rivaling the power of explosive tags.
If one were to compare this ability to anything, it would resemble Iwagakure's Explosion Release, which caused explosions upon contact. However, unlike Explosion Release, Sasuke's Blood Demon Art provided an additional layer of defense.
It was similar to the nitrogen armor used by Kinuhata or the protective barrier of Accelerator. While the exact mechanisms differed, the defensive properties were comparable.
At this moment, Sasuke resembled a rampaging, self-destructive juggernaut. Explosions resounded wherever he went, bringing chaos to Konoha before nightfall had even fully set in.
From an aerial view, one could see dozens of shinobi emerging from every direction, rushing to the scene of the battle.
