Sixteen Black Spears suddenly shot over!
Uchiha Shi's pupils constricted sharply, and he closed his eyes, relying on his intuition to predict the landing points of the black spears.
In the next moment, he immediately used Earth Release: Earth Spear, gathering earth chakra to the parts of his body that were about to be hit, hardening them locally!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sixteen powerful black spears struck Uchiha Shi, producing sounds like metal clashing with stone.
Although they didn't cause any damage, they pushed him back, his feet plowing two grooves over a meter long into the ground.
Uchiha Shi opened his eyes, his brows furrowed.
"Tch, my momentum was halted, and..."
Earth Release: Earth Spear, a B-rank no-hand sign instant jutsu that maximizes defense, also has its drawbacks.
Once he hardened his body, it would inevitably leave him in a state of rigidity.
There was no time to think further. The sixteen elite members of the Evil God Sect drew their black spears again, preparing for a second round of throwing.
Almost simultaneously, footsteps sounded from behind him.
The twelve elite members of the Evil God Sect who had been on the wall had now reached his rear, trapping him in a small flat area between the underground cavern entrance and the outer city wall.
In this terrain, without the advantage of the ground, he couldn't use the threads to pull himself forward or burst into a sprint. He could only charge forward with his head held high.
But why were the twelve people on the wall suddenly in front of him?
"Is it a Shadow Clone, or a Transformation Jutsu?"
Uchiha Shi frowned slightly, then focused his gaze on the sixteen people in front of him.
His Two-Tomoe Sharingan, which had the ability to observe, indeed revealed some clues upon closer inspection.
The twelve people in his field of vision had normal chakra flow and nothing out of place.
However, twelve of the sixteen people in front of him had a layer of chakra-coated disguise, which was likely a sign of Transformation Jutsu.
To confirm the information, he used his mind to pull up the subtitles, scanning them quickly.
Sure enough, the subtitles displayed by his Heart of Steel indicated that 28 elite members of the Evil God Sect had become hostile toward him.
In other words, all 28 elite members of the Evil God Sect were real people.
Including the large group of people on the wall earlier.
Uchiha Shi took a deep breath, a wave of shock washing over him.
This was clearly not normal.
A small sect like the Evil God Sect could become so powerful in such a short time?
And to gather so many ninjas in the Land of Hot Springs in such a short time, apart from the Five Great Nations, Uchiha Shi could only think of one place—the village known as the 'Village that Forgot War'.
Hot Water Village.
Did the Evil God Sect dig up the entire bottom of Hot Water Village?
But Uchiha Shi clearly remembered that in the original story, only Hidan appeared as a member of the Evil God Sect.
Uchiha Shi narrowed his eyes, exhaling deeply, not having the time to delve into these deeper secrets. He immediately began to consider his strategy.
Now, surrounded and being attacked from both sides, if he only defended, he would be stuck here, unable to even touch the boss, let alone seek death.
To break through, he had to charge forward with his head held high, but he couldn't use the Earth Spear that would leave his body rigid.
So, he had to take a gamble!
Uchiha Shi's eyes hardened, and he decisively drew the katana hanging from his left waist.
A technique that allowed him to run and slash while still being able to knock down flying projectiles—Uchiha Shi had seen it before!
Yes, it was the swift slash of Yasuo, the one Uchiha Setsuna, the Great Elder, had used that night in the Land of Hot Springs.
The crescent arc of light like the moon.

Soon, Uchiha Shi had a battle plan in his mind.
It was simple, with no unnecessary frills.
Directly enter the life-or-death phase!
Gamble on whether he could deliver that profound slash that the Sharingan had not yet recorded in a short time!
If he won, he would break through the enemy lines and head to the boss room for a one-on-one showdown!
If he lost, he would have to live on with tears in his eyes.
He adjusted his steps, closed his eyes, and gripped the hilt of the katana with both hands, the tip of the blade scraping the ground as he slowly moved forward.
A moment of dizziness, as if he was back to that night when the three-man team sat silently around the campfire.
This time, he stood in Uchiha Setsuna's position.
Indifferently watching the two younglings argue, and then, at the peak of the conflict, slowly drawing the sword from his back.
Draw, step forward, slash!
Crunch!
Uchiha Shi crouched and charged forward with the katana!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Sixteen black spears tore through the air, crossing fifty meters to shoot fiercely at him!
He opened his eyes, the two tomoe in his eyes spinning rapidly.
Uchiha Shi leaped high, relying on instinct, delivering a powerful downward slash!
The blade sliced down, twisting to use the momentum of an incoming black spear, flipping again, Clang!
Sparks flew!
Uchiha Shi's hand on the hilt was slightly numb, feeling a sense of it, but it wasn't enough. The condensed arc of light appeared briefly and then dissipated.
The distribution of chakra on the blade was likely uneven.
Landing again, he relied on his instincts to roll on the ground, dodging seven or eight black spears, the spears stuck in the ground, Uchiha Shi grabbed the hilt of the dull blade and shot up, charging forward again.
At this moment, the twelve elite members of the Evil God Sect behind him were in position.
Uchiha Shi suddenly felt a chill at the back of his neck and immediately ducked.
A Wind Release: Wind Blade shot past, followed by a barrage of ninjutsu and black spears.
Uchiha Shi clenched his jaw and threw four shurikens.
The shurikens, pulled by the threads of resentment, wrapped around a black spear, creating a gap for him to roll and dodge.
Seeing this, the leader of the Evil God Sect elite members narrowed his eyes and immediately ordered, "Concentrated fire! Two rounds!"
Then, he personally drew a black spear, narrowing his eyes as he looked at Uchiha Shi, attaching Lightning Release chakra to the Black Spear, preparing to deliver a fatal blow.
As he spoke, a rain of spears shot towards Uchiha Shi, two rounds in succession.
Uchiha Shi narrowed his eyes, charging forward with his head down, both hands gripping the hilt tightly, chakra flowing through the blade via Sword Technique: Chakra Attachment, glowing with a blue arc like moonlight.
Draw, step forward, slash!
Again!
A subtitle suddenly appeared before his eyes.
[You have mastered Uchiha Style: Shun's Air Slash (Beginner, B).]
Just then, behind the elite members of the Evil God Sect, a brown-haired girl with long hair emerged from the wall, leaping down and smoothly forming hand signs in mid-air.
Dog-Hog-Tiger-Ox-Rat-Dog!
"Lava Release: Melting Monster Technique!"
Then, she followed with the final seal, slamming her hand down on the ground with a clear, bell-like voice that echoed around, "Earth Release: Cracking Earth Palm!"
In the next moment, from the point where her palm touched the ground to where the feet of the Evil God Sect members stood, the earth split apart, and the soil was pushed up by the intense water currents below.
A corrosive, steamy river of Lava Release burst forth!
