Chapter 63: Run!
In the valley, Juzo Biwa took the first step and swung the Kubikiribōchō towards Shiratori.
Huoji grabbed Shiratori to avoid the attack and then formed a seal with one hand.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
His fireball could not explode, but it was controlled extremely delicately. He took advantage of the moment when Juzo Biwa was unstable, and it blasted straight at him!
Juzo Biwa only had time to hold the Kubikiribōchō across his body as a shield.
Boom!!
The flames scattered, Huoji's ears moved, and he grabbed Shiratori again to avoid the sneak attack from the side by a hair length.
After landing, Shiratori didn't waste any time and used the Great Fire Annihilation Jutsu towards the front!
The surging waves of flames were split into two by Hiramekarei, a wide, flat blade with two curved indentations near its base.
Mangetsu jumped into the air, raised the blunt part of Hiramekarei, and smashed it hard at Shiratori!
Bang!
The sword that Shiratori raised did not suffer any impact. It turned out that Huoji kicked the opponent away from the side.
"Hahaha! Youngsters! I could have beaten ten of you guys back then!"
"Stop bragging! Think of a way to retreat!"
Shiratori swung his sword and fought with Raiga. The swords wrapped around by lightning create a harsh sound when they collide.
"Retreat? Why should we retreat? I will kill them all today!"
Huoji appears to be mad on the surface, but his heart has actually sunk to the bottom…
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are the strongest fighting force under the Mizukage and the Jinchuriki, and each of them is a top Jonin.
They fought their way out of the sea of blood and corpses, mastering the most sophisticated killing techniques.
They… Exist to kill.
Shiratori tried his best to force Raiga back, but he also suffered several new wounds on his body.
He quickly formed a seal and used an explosive version of the Fierce Dragon Flame Jutsu toward Jinpachi Munashi, who was rushing at him.
Jinpachi Munashi chose to fight explosion with an explosion, and the Explosive Tags on the Shibuki lit up.
Boom!!
"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"
Huoji jumped into the air and spit out a strong storm from his mouth, slamming the blown-away Jinpachi to the ground, causing the latter to spit out blood.
"Be careful!"
At this moment, Shiratori exclaimed.
After Huoji landed on the ground, Fuguki, who had not made a move, rushed in front of him with a grim smile and smashed down Samehada with unrivaled force!
Bang!!
Huoji raised his arms to block but was still knocked away.
His body hit a big tree, and the clothes covering his arms were torn by Samehada, revealing the bloody arms underneath.
"Heh… You only have so little energy. Didn't you eat?"
Huoji touched the blood at the corner of his mouth and simply tore off his tattered shirt.
Shiratori's eyes narrowed.
Huoji's upper body was covered with dense old scars.
"Little brat, do you still have the energy to care about others?"
A Water Dragon Jutsu flew toward Shiratori.
Shiratori rolled over to avoid it, and the Water Dragon Jutsu exploded at the position where he was just now, creating a sky full of water mist.
Juzo's figure broke through the mist, swung Kubikiribōchō, and chopped it down on Shiratori's head!
Shiratori held the sword above his head to block the attack but was still forced to kneel on one knee by the opponent's force.
"Damn it!"
Shiratori gritted his teeth. It was still too early for him to face enemies of the level of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
Huoji wanted to rescue him but was stopped by the Fuguki, who came rushing over.
The other five also quickly surrounded him.
Juzo slowly pressed the Kubikiribōchō on Shiratori's shoulder but did not take any further action. Instead, he slowly raised his foot with a slightly humiliating look and kicked Shiratori away.
"Water Style: Giant Vortex Jutsu!"
Huge waves tens of meters high swept Shiratori into it and pushed forward. Some trees along the way were even uprooted!
Shiratori rolled in the water for a hundred meters before landing, feeling severe pain all over his body as if even his bones were almost crushed.
On the other hand, Huoji, who had been distracted and worried about Shiratori's safety, Fuguki found his flaw.
Fuguki Suikazan swung Samehada and smashed Huoji to Shiratori's side.
"Cough! Damn it! If I were thirty years younger…"
"There's no way we can beat the seven of them combined!" Shiratori stood up tremblingly, picked up the sword that fell beside him, and gasped heavily.
Huoji also stood up. He looked at the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist who had gathered around him, cursing under his breath while thinking in his heart… Come closer!
Not enough!
Come a little closer to me!
"Little brat." He looked at Shiratori and said in an inexplicable tone: "I am going to die."
"Ah, I know." Shiratori gripped the hilt of the knife tightly: "Not only you, but I will die too."
"That's not it!" Huoji blew his beard and glared at him: "What I meant is that even if these things didn't happen, I could only live for two months at most."
Shiratori turned his head, wondering why he was talking about this at this time.
"I want to say…"
Huoji reached out and grabbed the black cloth covering his eyes.
"To die protecting the future of Uchiha is a supreme honor! Don't be sad for me… Well, you little brat, we don't have a good relationship, so I guess you won't be very sad either."
He suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist with determination!
"Stop him! Get rid of him quickly, don't waste time!" Fuguki suddenly had an ominous premonition. He commanded the others to rush forward, but he himself took a few steps back calmly.
Puff!
Kushimaru was the first to step forward and pierced Huoji's chest with the Nuibari. "Old man, you… Huh?"
This old guy… Didn't even try to dodge!
Huoji grabbed Kushimaru Kuriarare's arm with one hand, and with the other hand, he tore off the black cloth on his head!
Those eyes…
Blood was almost overflowing from his eyes, and what embellished the sea of blood was not an ordinary Sharingan, but… A pattern that resembled a Pinwheel!
"Quick! Kill him!" Kushimaru Kuriarare panicked. He thought of a rumor about the Uchiha Clan.
Mangetsu came to help; he swung Hiramekarei and smashed it toward Huoji.
Huoji didn't even look at him but smiled at Kushimaru, his left eye shining brightly…
Huoji Uchiha is a strange person.
Except for Setsuna, even the older generation of Uchiha Clan members were unwilling to contact him.
He is outspoken, has a high opinion of himself, and doesn't even know the most basic etiquette.
In his own words, as a killing machine, he doesn't need such a thing.
He is an orphan who grew up eating the food from the clan. He is good at killing and only knows how to kill.
He had no children, remained unmarried throughout his life, refused to acknowledge his identity as a Konoha ninja, and devoted everything to his clan.
He… Was the last Uchiha of the Warring States Period, someone… Who should be buried in the past...
"Amaterasu!"
Wisps of flames like flying black petals on the other side of hell spread to Kushimaru's entire body in the blink of an eye!
With a bang, Huoji's left eye exploded into a bloody mist.
Feeling that something was wrong, Mangetsu did not stop and smashed Huoji's body with Hiramekarei, causing half of Huoji's body to collapse.
At the same time, Amaterasu's fire also covered the Hiramekarei and traveled through the sword, burning Mangetsu's body.
"Ah!! Damn it! What is this?!"
The two immediately let out shrill screams.
But… It's not over yet!
When Huoji's left eye released Amaterasu, his right eye also lit up.
"Inferno Style: Flame Control!"
He was unable to control Amaterasu accurately, so he chose to let Amaterasu explode directly!
Boom!
Shiratori stood there in a daze. He saw the dark waves swallow up everything in front of him and also witnessed Huoji gradually turning into charcoal…
Huoji, who would eventually turn into ashes, had no strength to look back and could only try to squeeze out a hoarse voice:
"Run!"
