On the battlefield.
As the last bit of Chakra was channeled into the Flowing Flame Great Sword in his hand.
Uchiha Shi, gripping the hilt, fell to his knees.
At this moment, his body had been completely charred, leaving no trace of flesh and blood.
His entire body had been burned to a carbonized state, resembling a black, glittering crystal from a distance.
This peculiar appearance was the result of the Secret Technique: Earth Grievance Yu Sewing Threads replacing the burned flesh and continuously being scorched.
This outburst was more sustained and thorough than the battle on the cliff with Kakuzu.
The Secret Technique: Earth Grievance Yu Sewing Threads formed his body.
The Prohibited Technique: Flesh Regeneration continuously regenerated flesh, which was immediately drained and fed into the flames.
The Zero-Tailed Beast's collected dark Chakra maintained the Dark Awakening State, continuously supporting the Prohibited Technique: Flesh Regeneration.
Finally, the Fire Release · Chakra Mode ignited everything, burning it to ashes.
Uchiha Shi did not have time to see what he looked like; he only stared intently at the flaming pit, and with a thought, pulled up the interface to check the details.
He needed to confirm whether Tōgō Hayato was completely dead!
[Clank!]
[You fiercely counterattacked the High Priest of the Cult of the Evil Deity, Tōgō Hayato, who wanted to kill you.]
[The counterattack was powerful, and the opponent is dead, resulting in a critical hit reward.]
[You obtained a random skill from the opponent: Immortal Body (Time-Limited, Incomplete, A+).]
[The skill has critically hit and is now solidified as a talent: Immortal Body (Incomplete, S-).]
[Your Heart of Steel layer has increased.]
[Note: You are being observed by a creature in the world's seams. The Heavenly Dao has automatically shielded you from this observation.]
[Note: Immortal Body is not absolute immortality. You are on the brink of death; please save yourself as soon as possible.]
After reading the information on the interface, Uchiha Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Killing Tōgō Hayato avenged his little brother Fugaku.
In the future, Akatsuki would lose a capable general, which would have some impact on the Tailed Beast capture operation, although not a significant one.
But it would indirectly change the tragic events where Shikamaru mourned and Asuma died in the first encounter.
It would also ease the pressure on the main characters.
The overall direction was good, so he considered his death to be worthwhile.
As for the prompt on the interface about being on the brink of death and needing to save himself quickly, Ha, that was a joke!
He had no friends here.
Orochimaru, who was eyeing him hungrily, would be glad to dissect him. Who would save him?
This time, even if the Heavenly Emperor himself came, he couldn't stop him from losing his head!
"Finally, finally..."
"I have finally reached this moment."
Uchiha Shi curved his lips into a smile, feeling relieved and ready to close his eyes.
However, At that moment—
A series of urgent footsteps echoed from the cave entrance!
A figure, covered in bandages and carrying a large scroll, stumbled over.
When he saw the charred Uchiha Shi, His crimson Sharingan eyes spun wildly, evolving into a Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
"Uchiha Shi!"
Uchiha Seiichiro looked at the scene in disbelief, a tear rolling down his cheek as he fell to the ground.
He touched Uchiha Shi with trembling hands, shouting in grief and anger, "How could this happen?"
"Did I arrive too late?!"
Uchiha Shi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, a piece of charcoal falling from his forehead.
Seeing that it was an Uchiha and not Tsunade, Shizune, or Chiyo, he finally relaxed.
This was good.
Seiichiro couldn't save him, but he could help collect his body.
This way, it could be taken back for Totsu to pay his respects, and Orochimaru wouldn't tamper with his corpse.
This... was enough.
With this thought, Uchiha Shi smiled gently at Seiichiro, raising his charred arm to pat his shoulder.
However, His hand lost strength mid-air, touching Seiichiro's forehead, sliding down his cheek, and falling to the ground.
Uchiha Shi lost consciousness, closing his eyes.
#
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Eight figures landed simultaneously beside Uchiha Shi.
The eight Uchiha looked at the charred boy, scratching their heads.
Killing people was their specialty, but saving someone was a different story.
"Captain, what should we do?" one Uchiha asked, frowning at Fugaku.
"This kid still has a breath left; we need to save him quickly!"
Uchiha Fugaku rubbed his temples. "I know what you're saying, but where are we supposed to find a Medical Ninja in this remote area?"
"Besides, his injuries... sigh."
At Fugaku's words, Uchiha Seiichiro, who was kneeling and holding Uchiha Shi, suddenly looked up.
The three tomoe in his eyes spun wildly, His eyes bloodshot, he stared at Uchiha Fugaku, demanding, "Why didn't you save him?"
"You were here long before, weren't you?"
"Did you just watch as a clansman died in front of you?"
"Are you so indifferent?"
"What are you protecting with your strength?"
Seiichiro glared with bloodshot eyes, shouting, "Huh?!"
"Answer me, our respected next clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku!"
Under Seiichiro's frantic questioning, Uchiha Fugaku opened his mouth to explain, "I..."
But he fell silent again, He had his reasons, He wanted to see if Uchiha Shi would open those forbidden eyes, But he never expected the boy to open another forbidden door.
Whatever he said now would sound hollow.
At that moment, Eight Uchiha, with eight pairs of crimson Sharingan, looked at Uchiha Fugaku, their eyes filled with questioning, Waiting for an explanation.
Earlier, Uchiha Fugaku could have stopped the battle, even by sending an Uchiha to control the hot spring ninja with genjutsu. Any action could have prevented the boy from reaching this state.
But he did nothing.
"Hahaha, hahahahaha!!!"
Seeing Fugaku's silence, Seiichiro laughed bitterly, his voice filled with excruciating pain.
Tears streamed down his face, his eyes bloodshot, and he looked like a demon!
"I understand now, Uchiha Fugaku. Why the elder has not granted you the position of next clan leader, even though you are the strongest man in the Uchiha clan."
"You don't deserve it!"
"Do you hear me? You don't deserve it!" Seiichiro shouted, "If someone like you becomes clan leader, it would be a disaster for the Uchiha!"
"I would rather follow this Two-Tomoe kid as clan leader than support you!"
"Compared to him, your will is as weak as a pile of shit!"
"Uchiha Fugaku, you are a pile of dog shit! Dog shit! Dog shit!"
With that, Seiichiro struggled to his feet and punched Fugaku's face.
Bang!
The punch hit Fugaku's nose, deforming his face as he fell to the ground.
Seiichiro jumped on him, ready to punch his seemingly fierce but actually weak face repeatedly!
The other Uchiha quickly pulled Seiichiro back, saying sternly, "Orochimaru is still nearby. We will report this to the elder when we return to the clan, Seiichiro. Don't let others see our clan's disgrace."
"What about Uchiha Shi?" Seiichiro asked, his eyes bloodshot, "What about him? Now that you know how to save this heartless and ungrateful person, who will save him?"
"Huh?!"
"Tell me!"
No one answered, and all the Uchiha looked at the charred Uchiha Shi lying on the ground.
The atmosphere became suffocating.
At that moment, A calm footsteps echoed.
A man with golden snake-like eyes and a mocking gaze walked out of the darkness, stepping over the kunai in front of him.
The torchlight illuminated his pale, handsome face, making him look quite eerie.
Orochimaru smiled, his voice raspy, "Since you can't save him,"
"Why not let me take this child?"
At his words, the eight Uchiha frowned, and even Fugaku stood up, standing in front of Uchiha Shi, coldly staring at Orochimaru and asking, "What do you want, Orochimaru?"
"Stay away from this child!"
"Hehehe." Ignoring the eight Sharingan eyes on him, Orochimaru said calmly, "This boy still has a breath left."
"I have a method to try and save him, but no guarantee of success."
Hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku frowned and asked, "What method?"
"How sure are you that you can save him?"
Orochimaru glanced at Uchiha Shi on the ground, his raspy voice mocking, "It's a power beyond the ordinary, which I call—"
"Cursed Seal of Heaven!"
"As for how sure I am that I can save him,"
"I'm sorry, I don't have any successful cases yet."
"In other words, the chance of saving him is,"
"Certain death!"
There is one more chapter, which will be a bit later.
