Heaven help me, Uchiha Shi's Sharingan had just awakened.
No one had taught him how to use these eyes.
Forget Genjutsu, the only thing he could do with his one-tomoe Sharingan was its inherent Observation Eye function. He couldn't even replicate Ninjutsu, only mimicking Taijutsu he had seen.
In that moment, Uchiha Shi had truly risked his life.
If the opponent had insisted on striking with the spear, given his current state with one leg crippled, and without the Body Flicker Technique, Genjutsu, or Substitution Jutsu, Uchiha Shi had no way to dodge.
Life and death hung by a thread.
But, unfortunately for the opponent, Uchiha Shi, who couldn't use Genjutsu, had successfully made the opponent believe he could.
He had won the bet.
Uchiha Shi slowly dragged his right leg, moving his body toward the Evil God Sect Leader, his face growing darker and darker.
His clenched teeth revealed a hint of frustration and disappointment.
These idiots, three against one, and they still got wiped out. Do they even know how to fight?
You used the Cursed Technique: Death Blood Invocation, couldn't you just stab the heart?
Mouth spouting evil gods, and complaining about pain, why don't you just sacrifice yourself?
Would a few more stabs kill you?
At that moment, the Evil God Sect Leader looked terrified.
Seeing Uchiha Shi approach, emitting a chilling aura, his back was drenched in cold sweat.
Unlike the future Fugaku, he didn't have the 'Immortal Body' created by the Evil God Sect through bizarre sacrifices. That stab to the leg was real!
Moreover, to restrict Uchiha Shi's movements, he hadn't even tried to stop the bleeding.
Now, with excessive blood loss, his dark face was beginning to show a sickly pallor.
Even the Aojing Sect would have to admit he was in a dire situation.
By restricting Uchiha Shi, he had also restricted himself.
So, the final result was—
Uchiha Shi moved a few more steps forward, a vicious smile spreading across his face.
He yanked out the black spear embedded in the ground!
Then, he took a lunge, stretching his arm like a full moon's bow!
Swoosh!
The black spear tore through the air, drawing a crescent arc of light!
The spear strike first sent the Evil God Sect Leader flying out of the ritual circle, interrupting his Cursed Technique: Death Blood Invocation.
Immediately after, A black light shot out, piercing his throat and pinning him to the ground.
The Evil God Sect Leader, dead!
At that moment, the talent notification sounded.
[Ding!]
[You bravely retaliated against the enemy who mocked you. The enemy is dead and can no longer argue.]
[Your retaliation was strong, triggering a critical hit.]
[You obtained a random skill from the enemy: Wind Release: Air Slash (Proficient, C).]
[The skill has critically hit, and is now: Wind Release: Air Slash Extreme (Mastered, B).]
[You obtained a random skill from the enemy: Rope Escape Jutsu (E).]
[Your layers of Heart of Steel have increased.]
The pale red barrier that stretched to the sky dissipated, Uchiha Shi gasped for breath, and collapsed onto the ground.
His body was covered in water and dust, the blood hole in his right leg was shocking.
Around him, Silence reigned.
The villagers in the square stared dumbfounded at Uchiha Shi, who had fought three Evil God Sect members and defeated them one by one.
But, There were no cheers, no flowers, no praise.
A woman holding a little girl named Yuko looked in horror at the motionless three members of the Evil God Sect.
In the next moment, Her expression turned to sheer terror.
Driven by this fear, the woman suddenly stood up, pointing at Uchiha Shi, and began to curse him hysterically.
"You beast, what have you done?!"
"You actually killed the adults of the Evil God Sect!"
"Do you know what this will bring upon us?"
The woman, as if all her strength had been drained, leaned against the wall, crying and laughing, her face twisted.
"It's over, it's all over."
"We will all die here, ha ha, die here."
The woman, as if suddenly remembering something, her face contorted, shook off Yuko, and rushed forward, venting her anger, trying to tear Uchiha Shi's face.
At that moment, the hooded girl leaped in front of Uchiha Shi, blocking the woman's path with her delicate hand.
She didn't say much, just gave a cold look and formed a hand seal.
A spinning water blade gradually formed in her hand.
"Scram!"
At this moment, Uchiha Shi couldn't pay attention to his surroundings, as the blood loss was making him dizzy, short of breath, pale, and cold.
He looked at his injuries and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Such severe injuries, without a Medical Ninja nearby, he was definitely going to die!
He shook his head, trying to stand up, but couldn't resist the darkness before his eyes and fell over.
Just before closing his eyes, he saw Fugaku pulling Shennong toward him.
Uchiha Shi's smile froze, his eyes showing a hint of fear.
Wait, you damn it, don't come over!
Uchiha Shi remembered—
Shennong, this guy, seemed to be a Medical Ninja!
Moreover, he was one of the top Medical Ninjas in the current ninja world, second only to Tsunade of the Three Sages, capable of performing high-level medical ninjutsu like the Healing Hands Technique.

At the same time, on the other side.
Outside Hot Mist City, in the underground of a large refugee camp.
Blood pools stretched endlessly, bones formed forests, and the deep wind tunnels echoed with the cries of the tortured.
A pale-faced Evil God Sect Bishop, dressed in black robes, stood by the blood pool, suddenly turning to look down.
Another pale-faced Evil God Sect ninja suddenly landed, kneeling on the ground.
"My Lord, we have found it."
"Found what?" The Evil God Sect Bishop frowned, looking coldly.
The black-robed subordinate nodded, a sickly smile appearing on his face.
"We have found the child with the special constitution you mentioned."
"I have already dispatched three elite members to the village, and they will bring the child back soon."
"With this, we might truly be able to create a monster with an 'Immortal Body'!"
The Evil God Sect Bishop narrowed his eyes, a smile slowly spreading across his lips.
"Excellent, truly excellent."
"The Evil God will surely be pleased with this offering!"
However, neither of them knew that a White-Scaled Snake was quietly lying in the corner of the blood pool.
Silently observing everything in the cave, Hissing its tongue.

Night fell, The sky was clear, the full moon casting a gentle light.
The bonfire burned brightly, illuminating the night sky in the wilderness.
Uchiha Shi slowly opened his eyes, Beside him, on a tree stump, A girl with a troubled heart stood in the wind, gazing at the distant, dark, and deep land.
Her chestnut-brown hair fluttered in the wind, and she seemed to have heard the commotion, suddenly turning her head.
Then Uchiha Shi saw the girl with the emerald green eyes from earlier.
At that moment, she had taken off her hood, Revealing a delicate and adorable face, A strand of chestnut-brown hair curled around her glowing white ear, the rest of her hair tied back in a bun, curved like the moon.
She looked like a fairy descending from the moonlight.
"You're awake?"
"Where am I?" Uchiha Shi struggled to sit up, noticing he had been bandaged again.
He tried to move his right leg and immediately found—
Indeed, it had been healed, though it still hurt a bit, it no longer affected his movements.
"You killed the Evil God Sect members, and the people of this village don't welcome you. We've been driven out."
The girl crouched down, her face full of curiosity as she examined Uchiha Shi's expression, asking:
"You..."
"Aren't you at all afraid of death?"
Under her clear, green eyes, Uchiha Shi suddenly felt his face turn a bit red.
He quickly coughed to change the subject, asking:
"Have you seen Fugaku?"
At that moment, A voice filled with resentment suddenly sounded from nearby—
"Shi, you bastard, I'm going to kill you!"
