A fist slammed viciously into Moroi's face, causing his cheek to cave in, and his back to collide solidly with the Barrier wall.
Bang!
"Ugh!"
Moroi couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, spitting out three bloody molars.
Before this, due to the long journey, he had already expended nearly half of his stamina. He had used the Body Flicker Technique, Fire Sealing Hand Seal, and the Sealing Binding Array twice, and was hit by Uchiha Shi's Combination Ninja Technique, leaving his body riddled with cuts.
Finally, he had used the Large-Scale Sealing Technique: Yiruduan Shufan Lunu, consuming over eighty percent of his chakra.
Now, because of the excessive use of his stamina to generate chakra, he was gasping for breath to alleviate his physical and mental fatigue.
But he never expected, that Uchiha Shi, who had been hit by the Yiruduan Shufan Lunu, would still be able to get up and launch an attack on him!
Looking at Uchiha Shi, who had a grotesque expression with bloodshot eyes, crawling towards him like a demon, he couldn't help but feel his heart tremble, as if it were being clutched by the devil's hand, causing his entire body to shudder.
Uchiha Shi sneered as he looked at the Kumogakure in front of him, his eyes filled with the Single Tomoe Spin.
He struggled to stand up, kicked forward, and slammed his foot into Moroi's face, sending his head crashing into the Barrier wall. Moroi's hands helplessly lifted, covering his face as he let out a miserable scream!
Immediately after, Uchiha Shi flipped and delivered a side kick, smashing into Moroi's left cheek.
One kick sent the special jōnin of Kumogakure village spinning through the air, dragging a trail of dust as he crashed into the ruins of broken walls.
At this moment, in Uchiha Shi's eyes, the world was crystal clear, and he could see the trajectory of every speck of dust falling!
Despite his body being at its limit, a new surge of strength seemed to flow from an unknown source!
But this, did nothing to alleviate his current anger and fear.
His anger at the interruption of his impending death, and his fear of the unpredictable future!
Uchiha Shi clenched his fists, tearing off an unsoaked Exploding Tag from his body, pulled out the last kunai from his leg, and wrapped the Exploding Tag around the tip of the kunai.
He pressed his trembling lips together, said nothing, and only stared with his Sharingan, sneering as he walked towards Moroi.
His face was twisted and grotesque, with blood and ink mixing and dripping from his chin, splashing onto the ground in black and crimson streaks.
But upon closer inspection, one could see that he was trembling—
his teeth chattering, his face quivering, his pupils flickering.
This was the face of a demon, a mix of extreme anger and fear!
Moroi, who had fallen into the ruins, spat out a mouthful of blood and shook his head vigorously.
His vision was filled with stars, and one of his ears was completely deaf.
After a long and sharp ringing in his ears, he faintly heard someone shouting his name outside the Barrier—
"Moroi!"
"Moroi!"
It was his seniors, Rami and Daidai.
Moroi raised his head blankly and looked outside the Barrier.
Rami's face was filled with urgency, shouting anxiously, "Snap out of it, damn it!"
"Moroi, haven't you noticed yet?"
"He's been using Taijutsu! His chakra has been sealed by the Yiruduan Shufan Lunu!"
Moroi suddenly came to his senses!
And at that moment, a kunai was already charging towards him!
Moroi immediately mobilized his chakra, rolled over, and grabbed Uchiha Shi's wrist.
But the restrained Uchiha Shi sneered, and with a crack, he forcibly dislocated his arm.
With his other hand, he pulled out the Exploding Tag wrapped around the kunai and pressed it against Moroi's face.
The Exploding Tag lit up!
Boom!
Thud, thud, the two were pushed apart by the explosion's shockwave, landing on the ground.
Moroi gasped for breath, his face filled with terror.
"Madman, madman, madman!"
"You're willing to trade your life for mine? Are you out of your mind?!"
If Moroi hadn't managed to knock the Exploding Tag out of Uchiha Shi's hand at the last moment, both of them would have been blown to pieces!
Uchiha Shi wobbled to his feet, his crimson eyes blazing with anger.
"You think I'm mad?"
Uchiha Shi bared his teeth, looked up, and his crimson Sharingan gazed down at Moroi, filled with intense disdain:
"What are you, have you even received nine years of compulsory education?"
"Do you know what true peace is like?"
"Have you ever experienced the joy of comfortably drinking cola in a rental apartment, typing on a keyboard, and chasing your dreams?"
"I once had everything, but I was thrown into this sh*tty world for such a f*cking reason!"
Uchiha Shi shouted in anger:
"You don't understand anything!"
"You, Kumogakure, Konoha, are all uncivilized barbarians!"
"With your broken mind, you're not even worth a zombie's bite, and you dare to lecture me?"
Uchiha Shi covered his face and burst into a manic laugh:
"Hahahaha!"
"I'm sick of it!"
"Sick of it, sick of it, sick of it, sick of it, sick of it, sick of it!"
"This boring world, without Wi-Fi, watermelons, short videos, games, movies, or the things I care about, the things I desire, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing!"
"There's nothing!"
Uchiha Shi suddenly stopped laughing, his Sharingan spinning wildly, filled with ferocity, coldness, arrogance, and disdain.
And, the burning rage that could consume everything!
"This world is void! It has no meaning!"
As if seeing through everything, Uchiha Shi looked at Moroi, his gaze piercing through him, as if looking at the entire world behind him.
He disdainfully beckoned to him:
"Come, kill me!"
Moroi's eyes were cold, and he took a deep breath.
He didn't understand what Uchiha Shi meant by Wi-Fi, watermelons, short videos, games, and other such things.
But he could tell, that Uchiha Shi, this waste of a genin, who had just awakened a single-tomoe Sharingan and was at best a slightly larger cannon fodder in the Third Ninja World War, was now mocking him!?
"You've earned your death!" Moroi's eyes turned cold.
As he spoke, he drew his long sword, narrowed his eyes, and took a bow stance, ready to attack.
Since he knew that Uchiha Shi couldn't use chakra, things were clear.
Although he didn't have enough chakra to use jutsu, with his skills as a special jōnin, Uchiha Shi, a mere kid, was nothing but a pushover!
Uchiha Shi didn't waste any words, immediately charging forward, his hand hidden behind his back, ready to draw a weapon from his pouch, and rushed at Moroi.
Moroi sneered, stepping forward and swinging his sword.
This was the Cloud Style Sword Technique: Deceptive Slash of Kumogakure village.
A simple horizontal slash with a katana, creating the illusion of a downward strike to deceive the opponent.
Forcing the opponent to dodge, if they dodge to the left, he could seamlessly follow up with the Cloud Style: Inner Slash, further deceiving the opponent and then spinning to strike their vital points on the back.
If they dodge to the right, they would face the fatal move—
Cloud Style: Crescent Moon Slash!
However, the next moment, Moroi's sneer froze.
Uchiha Shi didn't dodge at all, letting the sword cut from his left shoulder to his right shoulder, leaving a gruesome wound.
Then, he grabbed the sword's edge, blood trickling from his fingers.
His eyes were cold, manic, and ferocious:
"This is a jōnin's swordsmanship? This is your technique?!"
"Not enough! This is not enough!"
"Come, kill me!"
"Use your full strength, kill me!"
Moroi's face was filled with shock, and a sense of fear rose in his heart as he cursed Uchiha Shi as a madman.
At that moment, outside the Barrier, a voice roared:
"Enough!"
"Moroi, release the Barrier!"
"I'll kill him!"
Daidai's face was twisted, his hands rapidly forming seals, his eyes filled with madness.
Relying on Moroi, this waste, was no longer enough.
Under the pressure from Uchiha Shi, he was almost losing his mind.
Now, he wanted to use large-scale jutsu to bury this kid and Uchiha Shi, along with Moroi, all at once.
Earth Release: Earth Rise Dig!
Lava Release: Great River of Protection!
Two A-rank jutsu, ready to be unleashed!
