Chapter 89: Shocking Change, Kusanagi Sword: Sword of the Void!
Uchiha Shi suddenly clenched his fists, and a surge of Dark Chakra enveloped his body.
He fully activated the Prohibited Technique: Flesh Regeneration, suppressing all negative conditions and forcibly repairing his body.
Breaking the Lightning Pillar, piercing through the Water Pillar, the over one-meter-long Black Spear whirled in his hands, and he leaped out of the Ninjutsu's coverage, launching a powerful thrust, one after another!
Then, he seized the opening created by Tōgō Hayato's block, crouched down, and charged forward, dragging a trail of sparks on the ground with his water blade.
From below to above, he delivered a reverse wind slash at his opponent.
After a series of battles, Uchiha Shi's ninja tool bag now contained only three Shuriken, one Kunai, and some Senbon Needles that were of little use in this situation.
This meant that the next time he used a ninja tool, he had to cut Tōgō Hayato's vital points. Otherwise, once the duration of the forbidden technique ended, he would lose.
At this moment, Tōgō Hayato narrowed his eyes, quickly recovering from his brief shock.
He observed that after the shocking super-speed regeneration, the movements of this little brat in front of him seemed less agile than before.
He quickly determined that the Immortal Body was a highly draining forbidden technique.
Such unreasonable healing would not last for long.
With this thought, Tōgō Hayato immediately turned and ran, deciding to drag the battle into a war of attrition.
Thus, a rather absurd scene unfolded on the battlefield.
As the High Priest of the Evil God Sect, Tōgō Hayato was actually being chased by Uchiha Shi, who was wielding a blade and relentlessly slashing at him.
Uchiha Shi saw that Tōgō Hayato, not maintaining any Jōnin dignity, started running around the barrier, and he had no good way to stop him.
He was not skilled in long-range Ninjutsu, and he had few ninja tools, which he needed to save for critical moments.
As time ticked by, a strong sense of anxiety gradually crept into his heart.
Under the influence of the Dark Chakra, his breathing became increasingly rapid, and his eyes turned red.
Then, his pupils ignited with uncontrollable anger!
Uchiha Shi suddenly crouched down, plunging his hands into the ground, disregarding the blood that seeped from his palms. He forcefully ripped out a rock from the cave floor, crushed it with his hands, and hurled the scattered pebbles with all his might, roaring in anger:
"Stop! Damn it, stop!"
"What are you running for?!"
"Stop running!"
"Are you, a Jōnin with an Immortal Body, so afraid of a Genin like me?"
"Come on! Fight me!"
"Fight me to the last drop of blood!"
The pebbles flew in a chaotic yet perfect arc, shooting towards Tōgō Hayato, forcing him to dodge and evade.
However, after hearing Uchiha Shi's words, Tōgō Hayato not only did not stop but ran even faster.
While running, he angrily cursed in his heart:
"Genin? You call this a Genin?"
"What Genin has such incomprehensible throwing skills?"
"And this sudden surge in chakra, and a super-speed regeneration ability even more terrifying than the Evil God Sect's Immortal Body."
Tōgō Hayato had never seen such a bizarre person. This kid was more evil than the evil gods themselves!
And at this moment, the pale red barrier in the arena suddenly wobbled. A cold light flickered outside the barrier, then suddenly expanded!
Kusanagi Sword: Sword of the Void!
An ancient sword spun into the air, its blade piercing through the weak point of the barrier, extending infinitely to nearly a hundred meters long.
It stabbed into the core of the seal array that Uchiha Shi had created on the ground.
With a light slash, the pale red barrier crumbled and shattered, quickly dissipating into nothingness.
Then, Thud! Thud! Thud!
In the dark corner of the cave, a series of urgent footsteps suddenly echoed.
---
In the dark corner of the cave.
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, watching the battle within the barrier, more specifically, he was watching the High Priest of the Evil God Sect, Tōgō Hayato.
He was not concerned about the battle within the barrier; he only wanted to capture the other party and interrogate the nature of the 'Immortal Body' technique.
However, the barrier in front of him blocked his path.
Looking at the barrier, Orochimaru raised an eyebrow and pressed his finger against it, causing a ripple to appear on the pale red surface.
"This is... the regeneration barrier technique from Whirlpool Village?"
Recognizing the origin of the barrier, Orochimaru raised an eyebrow.
To him, there were many ways to break this barrier.
However, on the other side of the cave was a group of Uchiha, especially that fierce-looking man, the Police Force captain, Uchiha Fugaku.
This man gave him a dangerous feeling.
Thus, he temporarily suppressed his urgency and silently observed the battle within the barrier.
However, at this moment, he saw Uchiha Shi, with three thick black spears piercing his forehead, thigh, and chest, open a pair of blood-red Sharingan eyes.
Then, this little brat casually pulled out the spear from his forehead and climbed to his feet.
Moreover, the injured areas were rapidly healing at an observable speed.
"Wait, this, this is..."
Seeing this, Orochimaru's pupils suddenly constricted, and he drew a sharp breath, uttering the name of the technique:
"Prohibited Technique: Flesh Regeneration!"
A surge of excitement flooded his mind, and his heart began to pound.
His golden eyes suddenly gleamed with intense light!
He quickly focused all his attention on Uchiha Shi and deduced several things.
"Is this the kid I encountered on the city wall?"
"Hmm? The same evil chakra fluctuation as Shennong, and this technique..."
"No doubt about it!" Orochimaru's breath caught.
"No wonder Shennong exposed himself on the city wall."
"It turns out, this kid is his disciple, carrying on his legacy!"
He had a general understanding of the Evil God Sect's Immortal Body through the information returned by his summoned white snakes.
The recovery speed of this constitution was not particularly fast, and it could only achieve 'immortality.'
He had returned here to interrogate the Evil God Sect's secret techniques, hoping to study and improve them, but without much expectation.
He was merely indulging his small collecting fetish.
At this time, Orochimaru, like the future Yakushi Kabuto, believed that mastering countless forbidden techniques could achieve the dream of eternal youth and immortality.
However, Orochimaru had not anticipated such a pleasant surprise!
"Well, this is really..."
Orochimaru licked his lips, his eyes becoming intensely fanatical.
His throat convulsed, and he suddenly vomited out his Kusanagi Sword, biting the hilt and forming hand seals.
Raising his head and swinging, the Kusanagi Sword immediately flew into the air, its blade expanding in the wind, and the tip piercing the surface of the barrier, thrusting inward forcefully.
All thoughts of the Uchiha, the barrier, and waiting were cast aside by Orochimaru.
He wanted this kid now!
No more waiting today.
