The Uchiha clan, which was wiped out entirely, lacked vision.

Chapter 7 Misleading

"Well, is that strange?"

An adopted a deathly expression like a weasel, his face expressionless, his Sharingan eyes as cold as ice, and his voice as rigid and flat as ever, devoid of any emotion.

"I have worked with Danzo before, and I know his character very well. He will definitely discard me after he has served his purpose."

"I can't trust Danzo, I can't trust the Third Hokage, I can't trust anyone in the village. The only thing I can rely on is my own strength."

"I already have the Mangekyou Sharingan. As long as I add the Nine-Tails' endless chakra, I will be invincible. Even the village will no longer be able to pose a threat to me."

"Is that reason so hard to guess?"

Damn it!

How could it be Uchiha Itachi?

Yamanaka Fu and Aburame Ryoma exchanged a glance, both with furrowed brows.

Itachi was a well-known genius boy in the village, and the two of them knew very well how powerful he was, knowing that he was not an enemy that could be easily defeated.

However, as members of the Root, they must complete the mission even at the cost of their lives.

Their eyes met, and they reached a tacit understanding without saying a word.

Oil Girl Dragon immediately stepped forward, shielding Mountain Wind behind her. She made a hand gesture, and her two teammates immediately leaped forward, simultaneously forming hand seals.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

A tiny spark ignited, then rapidly expanded into a massive fireball. Fueled by the wind, the fire quickly spread outwards, engulfing everything in its path and surging towards Uchiha An.

The blazing flames roared and rolled in the air, instantly scorching the vegetation in their wake, and cracking the ground from the intense heat.

The heatwave generated by the combined ninjutsu caused distant scenery to distort and deform, as if the entire space was on fire.

Ke An curled her lip dismissively, "Ha, a boring little trick."

As the Uchiha clan member most skilled in using Fire Release techniques, he knew very well that most of the time, Fire Release was used to obscure the enemy's vision, conceal their movements, or force the enemy to reposition themselves and control the rhythm of the battle, rather than to inflict direct damage.

But he had no interest in wasting time here with these people; quickly ending the battle and getting into the Land of Rain was his top priority.

Otherwise, the pursuers from Konoha would be endless and would come one after another, completely dragging him to his death within Konoha's territory.

So he didn't dodge at all, but instead quickly formed hand seals and retaliated in kind.

"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"

A fire dragon roared out of its mouth and collided head-on with the oncoming wind and fire combined ninjutsu.

The same ninjutsu can have vastly different effects depending on who uses it.

If Uchiha An were still just an ordinary Jonin, he would have been completely crushed in this clash of ninjutsu.

But now he has the Mangekyou Sharingan, and with the powerful chakra boost, the fire jutsu he spews out has become many times more powerful.

The fire dragon and the fireball were locked in a stalemate for a moment before the dragon quickly pushed towards the fireball.

After absorbing the combined wind and fire ninjutsu, the fiery red dragon increased in size several times. The original sky full of flames now became Uchiha An's aid, and the scorching flames caused the surrounding space to distort and deform.

The raging torrent of flames swept over the group of people from the root with overwhelming force. Wherever it went, the earth cracked, rocks melted, and scorching waves of air whipped up layers of earth, swallowing everything up.

The woods where the group had just been hiding suddenly burst into flames, crackling and popping, with sparks flying everywhere like meteors.

The night sky was dyed crimson, and thick smoke rose into the air like a ferocious beast, flames filled the sky, and black smoke billowed everywhere.

The high temperature set the air ablaze, creating a suffocating inferno.

But Uchiha An was not careless at all. He had already opened his three-tomoe eyes and was rapidly scanning the sea of ​​fire.

This level of fire jutsu is not enough to kill a Jonin.

Sure enough, a clear shout came from the fire.

"Wind Release: Tornado Technique!"

A massive tornado suddenly erupted from the center of the fire, the violent collision of wind and flame chakra producing a deafening explosion. The swirling air force forcibly tore a gap in the flames, creating a path through the fire.

Then, a black shadow flashed, and the six people broke out of the fire. Apart from some burn marks on their ninja outfits, which made them look a bit disheveled, they were unharmed.

It's now!

Uchiha An stepped forward, his body flashing out like lightning, leaving a trail of scorching air as he shot straight towards Aburame Ryoma at the forefront.

The current environment filled with flames is the best way to deal with insects, so taking advantage of this opportunity to eliminate them is the best strategy.

Aburame Ryoma, a seasoned warrior, was well-prepared for this. He calmly raised his hands, and swarms of insects poured out from his sleeves.

The dark swarm of insects formed a moving curtain, and tens of thousands of parasitic insects vibrated their wings, emitting a chilling buzz, pressing down on Uchiha An like a dark cloud of death.

"Secret Technique: Insect Jade!"

But as soon as his insects appeared, Uchiha An quickly formed hand seals again, moving so fast that only afterimages remained.

A burst of intense chakra rapidly gathered in his throat, and a close-range fire jutsu was swiftly unleashed from his mouth.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

"puff!"

The swarm of insects was instantly ignited by the fire escape technique. The two collided and crackled, and the charred insects fell like raindrops. The air was filled with the pungent smell of burning protein, which made people want to vomit.

After crushing the swarm of insects, the torrent of flames continued its relentless advance, engulfing Aburame Ryoma like a raging torrent, and the blazing white light instantly illuminated the entire battlefield.

But after the flames subsided, Aburame Ryoma's figure immediately transformed into a black worm, clinging tightly to the flames.

As they emitted their final buzzing, these insects also secreted a special mucus at the cost of their lives, extinguishing the flames and carving out a small safe area in the sea of ​​fire.

"Tsk, it's an insect clone!"

Uchiha An frowned, glanced around, and not finding Aburame Ryoma reappear, he simply stopped searching and charged straight at the two teammates behind Aburame Ryoma.

The two men, each holding a kunai, were on high alert. As the enemy charged at them, they simultaneously threw their kunai forward and leaped to the sides.

With a sweep of his three-tomoe Sharingan, Uchiha An spotted the explosive tags cleverly hidden behind the kunai.

The tactics were good, but they were useless against the Uchiha!

He casually knocked the two kunai away, letting the explosive tags explode in mid-air, but then he saw Yamanaka Kaze, who had been hiding behind the two of them.

By this time, Yamanaka Fu had already completed the hand seals. He clasped his hands together in front of his chest, forming a heart-shaped hand seal, facing Uchiha An who was charging towards him.

"Secret Technique: Mind Transfer!"

"Oops!"

An Xin was startled and felt her body stiffen, as if she were no longer under her control.

With a flick of his left hand, he tossed the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to the opposite side. At the same time, he caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye. The previously vanished Aburame Ryoma suddenly reappeared, and with a flick of his sleeve, swarms of insects covered his body.
