##
Amidst the ruins.
The battlefield was divided into two, with a circular barrier stretching to the sky, trapping Uchiha Shi tightly within.
"Tch, one managed to escape."
Moroi's gaze fell coldly on Uchiha Shi, a sinister smirk curling at the corner of his mouth, "But, it doesn't matter. I'll make your death quick."
Uchiha Shi looked at the ninja opposite him, dressed in a red windbreaker, with yellow hair and a beard, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Because this person had appeared in the original story.
During the Fourth Shinobi World War, this man had set up 36 regenerative barriers on Dragon Island, blocking Naruto and Killer Bee from reaching the battlefield.
The barriers' defensive power was terrifying, and it took the combined efforts of Naruto and Killer Bee to break them.
He was the leader of the Cloud Hidden Barrier Team, a ninja skilled in powerful sealing techniques.
However, times have changed. This time, the opponent was just a Special Jōnin.
Looking at him, Uchiha Shi felt a bit uneasy.
A ninja specializing in sealing techniques, do they really have offensive power?
But, no matter what, the opponent was a Special Jōnin, and in terms of taijutsu alone, he far surpassed Uchiha Shi. Seiichirō had also mentioned that the opponent was skilled in sword techniques.
He should be able to kill me, right?
"Kid, what's that look in your eyes?" Moroi coldly drew his long sword from his back, pointing at Uchiha Shi, and said coldly, "You're very unlucky, a waste of a genin who hasn't even activated the Sharingan, encountering a master like me early in your ninja career."
Moroi's tone was calm, as if victory was already in his grasp:
"I only need one strike, and you will surely die!"
[Your enemy, Moroi, is taunting you.]
Hearing this, Uchiha Shi ignored the floating text and couldn't help but grin, nodding in agreement:
"Not bad, buddy from the Cloud Village, I like the way you talk!"
"Don't hold back later, remember, even a lion must use its full strength to catch a rabbit!"
"Use all your techniques at once, leaving me no room to counter."
Uchiha Shi's tone suddenly turned serious, warning him solemnly:
"Remember—"
"Absolutely, absolutely, don't let the battle drag on!"
"Very well! Kid, you've successfully angered me!" Moroi couldn't help but frown, his anger surging.
Is this kid looking down on him?
Is he saying he's impotent? Can't handle a prolonged battle?
However, Moroi didn't take Uchiha Shi's words too seriously. As a barrier ninja, he had a rudimentary ability to sense chakra.
In his vision, he could confirm that
Uchiha Shi only had the chakra level of a genin.
Now, this kid's words were likely a ploy to buy time for his teammate, setting up a false front.
With this thought, Moroi smirked, giving Uchiha Shi a disdainful glance.
In the next moment, he twisted his foot, holding his sword and forming the Body Flicker Technique seal.
In a flash, he disappeared from his spot, instantly appearing above Uchiha Shi's head.
Then, he wielded his sword with both hands, using his shoulder and elbow to generate force, and swung the long sword horizontally at Uchiha Shi's neck!
Moroi's eyes narrowed, thinking to himself, as a Special Jōnin, isn't it easy to take down a mere genin?
This strike carried the force of a gale, the blade cold and sharp, capable of slicing through hair!
The sudden threat of death
made Uchiha Shi's scalp tingle.
The fine hairs on his neck stood on end.
At this critical moment—
Uchiha Shi suddenly felt an electric current surge through his limbs, overcoming his fear and regaining control of his body.
He bent his waist and tilted his head, narrowly avoiding the blade, his eyes like lightning, his fingers instinctively reaching for his ninja tools.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Three black shadows flew upward, forcing Moroi to block with his sword.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
As Moroi deflected the three kunai, Uchiha Shi had already created some distance.
Estimating the distance between them, Uchiha Shi's heart skipped a beat, feeling a sense of unease, and looked at Moroi with a scowl, unable to resist cursing:
"I told you, use all your techniques at once!"
"What the hell, a barrier ninja, playing taijutsu?"
"Why won't you listen to advice?"
Hearing this, Moroi gritted his teeth, his anger surging, and charged forward, stabbing at Uchiha Shi's vital points!
"Pretending to be crazy! Die!"
Uchiha Shi, seeing the opponent's move, his eyes narrowed, immediately threw eight shuriken from various angles, locking onto Moroi in a curved trajectory.
Moroi was taken aback, stopping abruptly, allowing the eight shuriken to pass by him.
Before he could continue, his vision went dark.
Uchiha Shi, with a swift motion, pulled out a scroll and threw it.
Dozens, even hundreds of kunai shot out from the scroll, almost making Moroi burst out in curses.
Damn, are genins nowadays so rich?
Buying ninja tools by the ton, are you even human?
Under the onslaught of money, Moroi could only continuously swing his sword to deflect the kunai.
After a while, the area around Moroi was filled with a dense array of kunai.
Moroi panted heavily. They had chased after Uchiha's team at top speed, already expending a lot of energy.
Now, facing Uchiha Shi, a thorny opponent, his shuriken technique was so proficient that it didn't seem like he was a genin at all.
Just when he thought he could catch his breath and close the distance to finish the opponent with one strike—
Uchiha Shi moved his fingers, pulling back.
The tails of the kunai on the ground suddenly lit up with thin, bright lines.
As the light rose, the walls, ground, and branches of the ruins crumbled like tofu.
Dust rose, and Moroi suddenly felt a stinging sensation on his cheeks.
Thin, blood-streaked threads stretched taut with the dust explosion.
Moroi instinctively touched his cheeks.
His palm dripped with bright red blood.
He frowned, looking around at the points where the threads intersected.
The dense network of threads was now visible, crisscrossing and forming a web that enveloped Moroi!
Threads like a forest, slicing through the wind and face!
Moroi swung his sword at the web.
However, the blade was quickly deflected by the interwoven threads forming the web.
"What, what the hell is this?!" Moroi was taken aback, his face full of shock as he looked at Uchiha Shi.
"How is this possible?! So many Ninjutsu Threads, and woven into such a structure!"
"How did this kid manage to do all this in such a short time?"
Uchiha Shi shook his head.
A Special Jōnin against a genin, even a flying dragon can lose, no wonder they say the Cloud Village is full of barbarians.
This brain is indeed not enough.
Uchiha Shi's initially expectant gaze had now turned indifferent.
"Pay the price for your arrogance!"
With that, Uchiha Shi slowly formed four seals with his hands, Serpent-Dragon-Hare-Tiger!
Fire Release: Dragon Flame Technique!
He drew a sharp breath, looking at Moroi, who was like a lamb awaiting slaughter in the web.
His index finger curved, and dragon fire spewed forth!
The surging flames spread along the threads, engulfing the shocked Moroi!
Then, Uchiha Shi, with the spirit of a craftsman, prepared to deliver the final blow.
His hands formed another set of seals, Rat-Tiger-Dog-Ox-Hare-Tiger!
Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!
This wasn't the end.
After forming the Tiger seal, Uchiha Shi drew out eight shuriken from his tool pouch.
Combining them with the Phoenix Sage Fire, he threw the shuriken, which spun into the fireball.
The wind fueled the flames, and the shuriken, slicing through the air, emitted a high-pitched phoenix cry.
Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Claw Red!
After that, Uchiha Shi pulled the threads again!
The web of Ninjutsu Threads tautened, creaking as they tightened around Moroi at the center, strangling him!
At this moment—
The dragon fire formed a prison, and the phoenix cried out!
Uchiha Shi looked indifferently at the center of the fireball, offering a final farewell:
"Goodbye!~ (Kana)"
