On the trunk of a giant tree.
"Captain, is it really okay to let Seiichirō charge forward alone?"
"You know the situation ahead; the Hot Springs Shinobi are on guard, and there are no shortage of Jōnin-level experts."
A member of the Uchiha Clan, draped in a black robe, frowned. He looked down at Seiichirō, who was charging ahead with determination, and couldn't help but worry about his mental state.
Standing on the tree trunk, arms crossed, Fugaku Uchiha's gaze narrowed as he watched the distant battle. He gave a faint nod and replied,
"Seiichirō isn't weak; he just lacks a bit of courage."
Then, he shook his head and said with a proud tone,
"Besides, don't compare the Jōnin of a small village to the Uchiha Clan."
With that, Fugaku Uchiha opened his Sharingan and looked toward the nearby battlefield, his gaze sharpening. He recognized one of the Three Great Shinobi: Orochimaru, who was engaged in battle with a powerful opponent.
However,
his frown deepened. Orochimaru's presence here indicated that the root of the Land of Hot Springs was under the control of the enemy.
Had Orochimaru made other plans for the Evil God Sect?
What role did the boy named Uchiha Itachi play in this?
After a moment of thought, Fugaku Uchiha shook his head and issued orders,
"Assign three people to follow Seiichirō. Only intervene if he faces certain death."
"The rest, follow me to investigate and find Uchiha Itachi's location."
"You have been given his portrait, and you should all be familiar with this boy."
An Uchiha member nodded, and from his appearance, it was the Chunin who had initially notified Uchiha Itachi to join the Police Force.
He sighed and commented,
"I never expected that the sullen kid who always took trash missions would run into such a shocking situation on his first outing."
"Who would have thought? His first mission out of the village and he runs into an ambush from the Cloud Hidden Village," another Uchiha member shook his head, chuckling,
"I remember seeing this kid in a nightclub the night before last. Tsk, what a mess."
"That sneaky little guy tried to act all serious and ask me about the prices and services of the packages,"
"But before he could finish,"
"His Transformation Jutsu was sniffed out by the Inuzuka family's dogs, and he was thrown out."
The scene erupted into laughter.
But soon, the tone of the speaking Uchiha member grew serious, and he worried,
"Sigh,"
"I hope the kid is okay. Otherwise, this fun will turn sour."
The other Uchiha members' expressions tightened, and they immediately fell silent, forming teams and dispersing on the spot.
For some reason,
eight pairs of Sharingan eyes lit up, keenly observing any small traces that might be relevant.
Soon, Fugaku Uchiha's gaze fell on the walls of the Evil God Sect's headquarters castle.
There, a web of slashes and cuts crisscrossed the ground, littered with broken bricks and stones. One side of the cliff was shattered, with earth and rocks cascading down.
#
At the top of the castle, Hozuki Suigetsu's eyes narrowed as he fired two Water Bullets into the air, immediately gripping his Lightning Blade.
His foot twisted, and he leaned back, flipping to avoid the slash, then thrust the Lightning Blade into the water creature's head.
Lightning Funeral: Lightning Feast!
The two Lightning Blades immediately released tree-like blue lightning, striking Uchiha Itachi.
The lightning and Water Bullets fell almost simultaneously!
In mid-air, Uchiha Itachi, who had hardened his body to withstand four Water Bullets, immediately sensed the danger.
In this situation, he could either harden to block the last two Water Bullets and be struck by lightning, suffering from paralysis and stiffness, making him easy prey.
Or he could abandon the use of Earth Release: Earth Spear, twist his body to dodge, but lose the opportunity to get close.
In a split second, with no time to think, Uchiha Itachi's eyes narrowed, and he chose the third option!
Plop! Plop!
The Water Bullets pierced through his body, leaving a long, crimson trail.
Uchiha Itachi spat out a mouthful of blood, spun, and half-knelt to the ground. Without hesitation, he immediately stepped forward, charging forward, wielding the water blade, and slashing horizontally at Hozuki Suigetsu's neck.
The water blade spun, slicing through, and cleanly severed Hozuki Suigetsu's head.
But in the next moment, the flying head turned into a puddle of water, and another head grew from the neck.
Hozuki Suigetsu's gaze was cold, and he raised his Lightning Blade, staring at Uchiha Itachi, and said calmly,
"I don't know what you're planning."
"But as long as I maintain my full Water Transformation, your attacks will be ineffective."
"But you..."
Before he could finish, Uchiha Itachi struck again, this time aiming directly at Hozuki Suigetsu's wrist holding the Lightning Blade!
If Hozuki Suigetsu chose Water Transformation, Uchiha Itachi could seize the Lightning Blade and attempt to draw lightning.
However, as if seeing through Itachi's attack, Hozuki Suigetsu sneered.
His Water Transformation body suddenly solidified.
Then, he reversed his ninjato, blocking Uchiha Itachi's strike,
and sneered disdainfully,
"Want to take my blade?"
"But perhaps you have too high expectations of your swordsmanship."
"Enough talk, take another strike!" Uchiha Itachi countered with a swift slice.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
The blades clashed, sparks flying!
Soon, two streaks of blade light cut through the white mist, drawing cold crescent arcs, with crimson eyes leaving intersecting blood trails in the fog.
Hozuki Suigetsu's gaze was cold, relying on his complete Water Transformation to attack relentlessly, slashing at various parts of Uchiha Itachi's body.
His swordsmanship was suddenly more than twice as fierce.
With Uchiha Itachi's beginner-level basic swordsmanship, he could clearly see the opponent's sword path and react, but once engaged, he was deceived by the opponent's superior swordsmanship, always missing his blocks.
He had no choice but to use hardening to forcibly block the opponent's blade.
Clang!
Another strike hit his hardened skin, and Hozuki Suigetsu's gaze sharpened as he took a step forward, dispelling his Water Transformation, and his body suddenly solidified.
He kicked Uchiha Itachi in the chest, taking advantage of the moment of stagger, and with his Lightning Blade, he crossed his blades, a blue glow suddenly bursting forth!
Lightning Release: Lightning Fang!
A crackling sound erupted from the intersection of the Lightning Blades, radiating in all directions!
In his hardened and stiffened state, Uchiha Itachi had no way to avoid this large-scale jutsu.
His body tingled, his pupils contracting, he immediately mobilized chakra to use Earth Release: Earth Spear for full-body hardening.
Hozuki Suigetsu didn't give him time to react, first using Lightning Release: Exploding Lightning, pointing his twin blades, and summoning a bolt of lightning from the sky.
The sky suddenly darkened, dark clouds roiled, Boom!
A bolt of lightning struck Uchiha Itachi!
Then, Hozuki Suigetsu drew his Blunt Blade: Hozuki!
He struck the hardened skin of Uchiha Itachi, who had used Earth Release: Earth Spear, and then hammered the back of the blade to add force.
Crack!
A sharp sound, and the hardened Earth Release: Earth Spear was shattered by the Blunt Blade: Hozuki!
Finally, Hozuki Suigetsu drew the last ninjato from his back.
Great Blade: Samehada!
He gripped the blade with both hands and mercilessly slashed, piercing Uchiha Itachi's abdomen!
One strike to paralyze, one to break through defenses, and one to take a life!
Then, he drew the blade and threw Uchiha Itachi to the floor of the hall.
Thud!
Hozuki Suigetsu looked down at the lifeless Uchiha Itachi and said coldly,
"It's over."
In the next moment, the water creature, several meters tall, suddenly rose, forming two giant hands!
It slammed down with a powerful punch!
The punch shattered the ground, sending Uchiha Itachi into a deep pit.
The scene fell silent, Hozuki Suigetsu frowned, feeling the ground was too thin and brittle.
This strike should have pounded the kid into a pulp.
Just then, a clear, cold voice rang out, "Since he's dead, let's leave here quickly!"
Terumi Mei stood at the castle entrance, coldly eyeing Hozuki Suigetsu.
"I'll take you to Yagura."

I overestimated myself; there won't be a third update today. I'll aim for three updates tomorrow.
