The Village Ruins, ravaged by ninja combat, were in a state of disarray.
In the Heavenly Barrier, Shurikens were scattered everywhere, along with tangled threads and chunks of earth and broken branches shattered by Ninjutsu Threads.
In the arena, as Uchiha Shi's words fell softly, Moroi, as if reacting to a wound, couldn't help but shiver.
Despite his seemingly fierce and powerful moves, his current state was quite miserable.
His red windbreaker was torn to shreds by the ninja tool threads, with smooth cuts oozing blood.
The pain from the wounds made him involuntarily hiss quietly.
Under Uchiha Shi's series of combination jutsu, if it weren't for the Sealing Scroll he carried, which didn't require hand seals and just happened to seal the Sealing Binding Array, he might have really met his end at the hands of this rookie Genin, Uchiha Shi.
Moroi narrowed his eyes, not daring to be careless, and formed the Unseal hand sign, using a perception jutsu to examine Uchiha Shi for a moment.
Only then did he relax.
He pressed forward with his long katana, a disdainful smile on his face, and coldly said, "Brat, do you really think you can trick me at this point?"
"I've already seen it. You're almost out of Chakra, your stamina is almost gone, and you're caught in my Lightning Killing Bind."
"With your current strength, you can't even perform the Substitution Jutsu!"
Moroi's lips curled, his eyes slightly smug, as if victory was within his grasp, and he calmly pronounced, "You have already lost!"
"Besides waiting to die, you have no other way out!"
However, Uchiha Shi's gaze remained calm, almost frighteningly so.
As Moroi said, his condition was indeed dire.
He couldn't even perform a low-level E-rank Rope Escape Jutsu.
But at this moment, Uchiha Shi's face showed a look of relief, and he murmured softly, "Finally, finally, finally..."
"Brat, what are you mumbling?" Moroi frowned, his eyes tightly fixed on Uchiha Shi.
After the intense battle, even with victory in his grasp, he dared not be the least bit careless with Uchiha Shi.
Uchiha Shi simply stared at Moroi, suddenly grinning, and said calmly, as if telling a story, "Do you know?"
"How long I've been waiting for this moment!"
"And now—"
Uchiha Shi's eyes were wild, his lips curled in extreme excitement, "I have finally arrived at this moment!"
"It's completely nonsensical!"
Moroi, seeing Uchiha Shi still babbling at such a critical moment, couldn't help but frown and coldly shouted, "Whatever your last wishes are, they end here!"
"Die!"
He decided to stop talking, and planned to end Uchiha Shi's life with a single thrust of his katana!
Moroi gripped the hilt of his katana with both hands, took a step back, and held the hilt at his waist.
The tip of the katana pointed directly at Uchiha Shi's heart!
As soon as he exerted his arm, the katana would pierce through, and this young man would never speak another word!
His eyes narrowed, and he thrust forward!
He could already see Uchiha Shi falling.
However, at that moment, Uchiha Shi, bound by the Lightning Killing Bind, suddenly lifted his head and burst into a maniacal laugh:
"Hehehe, hahaha, ahhahahahahahahaha~!"
His laughter was layered, starting with a low, mocking chuckle, then a loud, hearty laugh, and finally almost gasping for breath, tears streaming down his face.
Uchiha Shi lowered his head and glanced at Moroi, his eyes full of disdain, "Kumogakure, you don't really think you've won, do you?"
As Uchiha Shi's words fell, Moroi's katana sliced through the high collar of Uchiha Shi's black robe.
When he saw what was under the black robe, his eyes trembled, and the smug smile on his face froze.
His hand, which was pushing the katana forward, suddenly stopped!
"This, this, this..." Moroi looked up in horror at Uchiha Shi, "What is this?!"
"What is this?" Uchiha Shi laughed, his voice wild, "Let me tell you what this is!"
Uchiha Shi, enduring the intense numbness and pain from the electric current, narrowed his eyes.
One hand grabbed the high collar of the black robe and tore it open!
The black robe tore, revealing a muscular young body in the sunlight.
However, on this body, he was wearing a tight-fitting garment made entirely of densely packed Exploding Tags!
Black Exploding Tag patterns covered his entire body, from head to toe, in every nook and cranny, all covered with Exploding Tags!
The dense 'Explosion' characters were visually striking!
This quantity was enough to level the entire village!
Moroi suddenly felt a tingling sensation from his toes to the top of his head, his body trembling uncontrollably.
Uchiha Shi, this brat, actually wore Exploding Tags as clothes?!
You damn—
Madman!
Madman!
Absolutely mad!
Aren't you afraid of accidentally setting yourself off?
Uchiha Shi suddenly felt a release of tension as the 'Thunder' seal on the ground, due to Moroi's distraction, stopped supplying Chakra and deactivated.
Uchiha Shi moved his arms, jumped down, and glanced at Moroi with a cold, indifferent look, saying calmly, "The one who truly won is me!"
As he spoke, Uchiha Shi grabbed the Exploding Tag on his chest.
All it took was a light tear, and the entire village would go up with Uchiha Shi, into the sky!
The arena suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
---
Outside the barrier, three people were closely watching the battle inside.
After Moroi used the Fire Sealing Seal, Sealing Binding Array, and Lightning Killing Bind, the situation suddenly turned.
The roles of prey and hunter were reversed, and Uchiha Shi was now controlled.
It seemed he was about to be killed with a single strike!
"Shun!"
Elder Uchiha Shun couldn't help but be startled and was about to break free to use a powerful jutsu to shatter the barrier.
At this moment, Uchiha Shi's importance in Elder Uchiha Shun's mind had changed dramatically!
He possessed the Uchiha clan's Shuriken manipulation technique, far beyond his age, and could easily learn the Dragon Fire Technique and Mystical Palm Fire Claw Red with a little guidance.
Moreover, he could apply what he learned, combining three jutsu to use a combination jutsu that even left Elder Uchiha Shun in awe.
Uchiha Shi was no longer the waste of a person who couldn't even activate his Sharingan in Elder Uchiha Shun's mind!
He was, a genius among geniuses!
As a top-tier elder of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Shun naturally knew the methods to activate the Sharingan.
He could design intense stimuli to awaken the Sharingan in clan members.
However, such actions were akin to pulling up seedlings to help them grow. Forcing the activation of the Sharingan without the necessary talent would only make it a burden, a coveted and envied wealth.
But Uchiha Shi was different!
His talent was sufficient to support this power!
Even in the brief moment just now, Uchiha Shun had already designed an extremely dramatic and tear-jerking scenario to awaken Uchiha Shi's Mangekyou Sharingan, making him a supreme psychotic.
But now, the situation had reversed!
This young genius, who had just begun to show his potential, was about to be buried in a foreign land.
For the Uchiha clan and his hawk faction, this was a tremendous loss!
Uchiha Shun clenched his teeth and narrowed his eyes.
He decided to use Izanagi, to replace one of the two Kumogakure ninjas blocking him, then forcibly break the barrier and take Uchiha Shi away.
Such a talent could not die here!
