At this moment, after Uchiha Setsuna's extreme statement, akin to a self-destructive speech, the situation on the field became polarized.
On the Kumogakure side, one was trembling, the other's face was pale, both awaiting their death.
On the Uchiha side, one was ready to self-destruct, the other was hanging his head, taking turns to make their moves.
It truly was—
The Uchiha Grand Stage, come if you have the guts!
Uchiha Shi now realized that the words he had just spoken seemed a bit too intense.
Seeing how moved the little old man Uchiha Setsuna was, but his original intention was just to achieve a relatively good outcome and bring them back home safely.
For this, he deceived everyone present!
The starting point of his words was that the Hell Valley garrison would be destroyed by Kumogakure using the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, causing a significant loss to the Uchiha.
However, this was actually a false premise.
Because the Hell Valley in the Land of Hot Water would soon no longer need the Uchiha to guard it.
The Blood Pool Clan and Kumogakure's plan had already fallen apart when the Lightning Country's Daimyo's envoy died.
The woman who accompanied the envoy to apologize to the Daimyo of Lightning Country was the wife of Blood Pool Oni Castle.
After she returned to Hell Valley, she had already committed suicide due to the unbearable insults and curses from her clan members, as well as the heavy pressure of the failed mission and the clan's involvement in the war.
Only her daughter, Blood Pool Chizuru, was left.
Blood Pool Oni Castle, or rather, Oni Castle En!
After learning of his wife's suicide, he regretted, blamed himself, resented, and hated all the Blood Pool Clan members who had driven his wife to suicide!
His Blood Dragon Eye had likely evolved to a level similar to the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Just like the Mangekyou Sharingan, he had gone mad!
But he could also pilot a Gundam.
In an era where combat power still followed traditional ninja fighting methods.
In the not-too-distant future, he would personally kill all the clan members, take his daughter away from Hell Valley, and establish the Yorugashira Castle on a small island in the Land of Water.
He would become the top black market merchant, the behind-the-scenes controller of the arena, and the number one seller of bloodline limits in the ninja world.
However, such deception could save the lives of the two team members, sacrificing only himself.
For Uchiha Shi, this was undoubtedly the best outcome.
At this moment, Elder Uchiha Setsuna turned his head, looking at Uchiha Shi with a pained and regretful gaze, yet his tone revealed a strange sense of benevolence.
"Shi, go to your death."
"As long as this old man is alive, this vendetta will never be erased!"
"Even Hiruzen Sarutobi can't control me!"
Uchiha Shi's forehead broke into a light sweat, thinking that Elder, you're being too extreme.
Under your leadership, the Hawk Faction will likely end up in the dustbin of history.
However, he glanced around, the situation had developed to this point, Uchiha Setsuna had even thought about his funeral arrangements, not dying now would be hard to justify.
Uchiha Shi immediately focused his gaze, looking at Uchiha Setsuna with determination, and said in a deep voice:
"In this way, my death will have meaning!"
The three from Kumogakure's eyes suddenly widened, staring tightly at Uchiha Shi.
Previously, he had been hit by the Lightning Killing Bind and could only barely move his arms, making a pose as if to detonate.
But in reality, his fingers were so numb that he couldn't even hold onto the Exploding Tag.
In just a moment, Uchiha Shi had slightly adapted to the tingling sensation in his body, and his fingers on the Exploding Tag had regained some strength.
Then, he decisively tore it!
"No good, he's really going to self-destruct!"
"Dai, quickly, scatter!"
Rami, seeing Uchiha Shi pull the Exploding Tag from his chest, gritted his teeth and turned to look at Moroi inside the Barrier, giving a difficult order:
"Moroi, use it!"
"You must survive! Otherwise, the mission will fail!"
"What?" Moroi, inside the Barrier, widened his eyes and hesitated, saying:
"But, Captain, the Third Hokage said it was an insurance for the Blood Pool Clan!"
"Even if we die, we can't use it prematurely!"
Rami clenched his fists tightly, caught in a dilemma, but he had very little time to think.
His eyes turned red, looking at the two Uchihas, and after a moment of struggle, his gaze became resolute.
Rami gritted his teeth and said, "Who the hell would have thought we'd encounter two lunatics on this mission!"
"If you don't use it now, you'll be blown up or maimed, the mission will fail, and then the old lunatic Uchiha will put a huge bounty on your head!"
"Think about it, do you want to live or complete this damn mission!"
"If you use it now, we can regroup and kill Uchiha Setsuna, and he won't have the chance to put a bounty on you!"
"Otherwise, you'll just be waiting to die!"
Rami's whiskers trembled violently from nervousness.
As a veteran ninja who had lived through the Warring States era, he understood the weight of Uchiha Setsuna's words more than anyone else here!
This old lunatic meant business when he said he would go to any lengths!
Rami's tone was heavy as he sternly ordered Moroi:
"If the Uchiha clan really mobilizes, we won't even make it out of the Land of Hot Water before they overwhelm us, and then not only will the mission fail, but we'll lose our lives too!"
"Damn it, think clearly!"
One hundred million ryō for a single head.
Even if they returned to the Land of Lightning, various organizations would infiltrate the country to claim their heads for the bounty!
Inside the Barrier, Moroi, sitting on the ground, his eyes flickered with various emotions.
Finally, he gritted his teeth, looking coldly at Uchiha Shi, and shouted in despair:
"Uchiha Shi, is it?"
"You're good! I'll remember you!"
"But, do you really think you've won?"
Uchiha Shi, hearing these familiar words, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, thinking, are you playing a turn-based game with me?
He immediately glanced coldly, not even bothering to respond, completely unfazed.
Moroi couldn't help but grit his teeth.
Uchiha Shi was covered in Exploding Tags, and no matter where he cut, he would definitely trigger this time bomb.
But if he didn't kill him, he would definitely be blown up by the other side!
Sealing specialists generally had two ways of fighting.
One was the Sealing Technique Seal, which involved on-the-spot hand seals and could be quickly used with a sealing scroll, like the Fire Sealing Hand Seal and Lightning Killing Bind Moroi had used earlier.
Others included techniques like the Evil Sealing Seal, Evil Release Seal, and Four Limbs Heavy Seal.
The other way was to create a Sealing Array, which was time-consuming, complex, and required the construction and drawing of runes, making it difficult to handle sudden events like this.
To have the ability to quickly create arrays on the battlefield, one needed to use a valuable Sealing Scroll, which contained pre-drawn Sealing Arrays to quickly deploy.
Similar to the Sealing Binding Array he had used with the scroll earlier.
At this moment, Moroi, seeing Uchiha Shi getting closer and the Exploding Tag being pulled further, his eyes turned red, and his pupils contracted to a pinpoint.
The fear of death hit him hard!
Moroi's body trembled, and in an instant, his mind raced with many thoughts.
But in the end, he gritted his teeth and pulled out a Sealing Scroll from the scroll bag at his side.
Uchiha Shi's gaze sharpened, watching the other's movements, to prevent any sudden changes.
Enduring the tingling in his arms, he fiercely pulled the Exploding Tag from his chest!
Rip—
A bright light suddenly flashed!
At the same time—
Moroi tore off the scroll's binding, fiercely shook the spindle, and rolled it out.
He inserted his hand into his wound, enduring the intense pain, and scooped out a handful of thick, congealed blood.
Moroi's eyes turned fierce, his blood-covered hand slammed onto the scroll, and he looked up, shouting angrily at Uchiha Shi:
"How could I possibly lose to a worthless genin like you!"
"Watch this!"
"Sealing Technique: Ten Thousand Anger Endless Flow!"
