"...cough, so it turns out...there is such a thing...!"
After hearing C's words, Uchiha Kagami's expression darkened even further, but she forced herself to stand up straight.
"C seems to be aware of our actions, orchestrating this incredible raid as if every move of ours is under his scrutiny. It's peculiar."
However, C's last move was also a sneak attack that he believed to be foolproof. Somehow, I also obtained information about it..."
Uchiha Kagami cast a serious glance at Cloud Ninja, who was scanning his surroundings.
"I ridiculed him for realizing it later, but after acquiring this classified information, I took it for granted. Yet, the same happened to me..."
"Uchiha has its share of problems!"
When Uchiha Ken hastily reported Cloud Ninja's information to them, Uchiha Kagami and the others questioned the authenticity of the information but didn't investigate its source.
Simply by staying in the camp, Uchiha Ken was able to capture a Cloud Ninja "scout" who happened to reveal C's secret location. They didn't question it at the time.
After the incident, Uchiha Kagami never interrogated Cloud Ninja and overlooked it. Now, upon reflection, it seems they were too careless!
"I'm truly laughing from this situation!"
Uchiha Kagami looked at C approaching step by step, suddenly calming down.
"Uchiha Kagami is still with Sarutobi. I need to find a way to spread the news!"
Glancing at Tsunade, who was hiding in the corner in panic, Kagami Uchiha gritted his teeth and made a decision.
"If I die here, what will my clan think? Tobirama-sama told me to go back. As the head of the Uchiha clan, I died on my way back. Sigh!"
Tsunade is the future hope of the Senju clan. These three are excellent disciples of Sarutobi Hiruzen. If they die here... will the Uchiha clan provoke the wrath of the village?!"
The scarlet Sharingan turned desperately; bloodshot eyes seemed to bulge out of the eye socket. A dark and energyful aura permeated, and on the ground, two lines of blood dripped, shocking!
"This sensation...?!"
Orochimaru, huddled in the corner, turned pale in shock!
"It's been long enough for you to repent. Now you can die for me!"
Seeing the serious expression on Uchiha Kagami's face, C suddenly felt a little irritated and rushed up with a grin!
"Hell stab, two fingers!"
"Pfft—"
As if encountering no resistance, C effortlessly pierced through Kagami Uchiha's body, but his smile froze. He suddenly sensed something was amiss.
"Boom!"
A slashing slash with rising flames sent C soaring into the air. The explosive force and scorching high temperature broke through C's chakra coat, leaving a charred wound on his chest. Uchiha Kagami didn't look at C but covered his waist and abdomen, quickly retreating. A large tree beside him was hit by the waist!
"I can't die here! I have to get the news out and let Tobirama-sama know!!"
"What?!"
The surrounding Cloud Ninjas were taken aback. They witnessed C smashing through a tree with one swift motion, and then Uchiha Kagami unsheathed his sword, swiftly cutting down enemies as if nothing had happened!
"Illusion, The Art of Darkness!"
Uchiha Kagami executed this legendary jutsu inherited from Tobirama, and a dark force as black as ink spread through the air, temporarily blinding the surrounding Cloud Ninjas!
"What just happened?"
"I can't see a thing!"
Panic spread among the Cloud Ninjas as Uchiha Kagami swiftly eliminated two of them and broke through their ranks.
"I apologize, but if I save you, none of us will be able to escape!"
Kagami Uchiha glanced back at the Sannin and the remaining Uchiha ninjas, continuing his rampage without hesitation. In the critical moment, he showed no mercy!
"Damn it! Someone, take him down!"
In the next moment, C, furious from a distance, rose with formidable strength, forcefully breaking through the dark illusion. He started beheading Uchiha ninjas and Sannin with swift motions.
"Ninjutsu: Serpent Falls Burial!!"
Orochimaru took C and departed, leaving the other Cloud Ninjas still recovering. He unleashed his own large-scale ninjutsu, a Sage art that tapped into natural energy, draining the weak Sage mode.
Countless pythons emerged explosively, causing chaos and destruction by swallowing and biting the surrounding Cloud Ninjas.
"Let's go!"
Orochimaru pulled Tsunade and Jiraiya to quickly break through, while the remaining five Uchihas gritted their teeth and attempted a breakout.
However, the Cloud Ninjas following C were true elites, not easily defeated by a single ninjutsu.
Once their reaction time recovered, more than a dozen Cloud Ninjas attacked together, directly bombarding and tearing apart three Uchiha ninjas.
"Damn it, Uchiha Kagami, the power of that illusion just now...!"
C, who was chasing, looked at Uchiha Kagami, spitting blood while running, with lingering fears.
Ordinary illusions would not leave him defenseless, given his strength. After all, he will fight against Ten Thousand Rock Shinobi for three days and nights in the future.
Yet, the illusion used during the recent attack had made him panic. In that moment, he felt a loss of consciousness, more out of control than ever before.
"You can't escape!"
C roared angrily, and the electric light emanating from his body increased his speed once again.
The color of Uchiha's Kagami grew darker, blood flowing between his fingers.
Even after suffering such a serious internal injury, Uchiha Kagami, driven by a strong sense of responsibility and the will to survive, pressed forward, heading towards the Tobirama army.
Uchiha Kagami took out a few blood-colored pills, a clan's secret medicine much stronger than the Military Rations Pills, and even surpassing the medicine developed by Takeshi. Of course, the side effects were more severe, not something people willingly accepted unless faced with a matter of life and death.
When faced with the certainty of death, Kagami Uchiha paid no heed to the potential repercussions and swallowed it all without a second thought!
Instantaneously, a formidable aura emanated from him. Chakra appeared to seep from every pore, carrying a faint scent of blood.
Uchiha Kagami, bleeding from seven orifices, resembled a crazed figure, resorting to ninjutsu to reverse the situation.
"Fire Escape: The Art of Great Fireball!"
A massive surge of crimson flames surged towards C, boasting a temperature higher than magma, dominating the sky with an insurmountable force.
"Humph!"
C frowned, realizing it was a ninjutsu pursuit by Uchiha Kagami!
The magma-like flames parted, and C's body emitted a "babble" sound as the chakra coat swiftly wore away, causing him to grimace in pain.
"Step aside!"
C shouted loudly, accelerated abruptly, and eventually reached Uchiha Kagami.
"Damn it! It seems I am fated to die here, and the clan will be in jeopardy!"
Despite his best efforts and desperate struggles, Uchiha Kagami couldn't shake off C.
Kagami Uchiha gasped heavily, wiped the blood from her face, and gazed at C with an almost vacant expression.
Covered in blood, struggling to maintain composure, Uchiha Kagami's deadly and ominous aura intensified, sparking envy in C.
"Well, since you insist on holding me here, let me use my last ounce of strength to contribute a little to Konoha..."
Uchiha Kagami's voice, like a flickering candle, resonated faintly, as a dark red energy, reminiscent of blood, gathered around him, forming an ethereal set of ribs.
