Chapter 266: Engraved Tsukuyomi
“As expected of you, Sahara Kiri.”

“Can you actually do this?”

“But it’s not enough.”

Through the vision of “Eight Thousand Spears”, Uchiha Hikaru could clearly see everything that Sawara Kiri did from the vision of the “puppet” he controlled.

Even she couldn’t help but be stunned by the feat of destroying the entire explosive corps in an instant.

But what followed was an increasingly intense excitement on that pretty face, and even her heart seemed to be free from the constraints of gravity and beat a few steps rapidly.

The more this happened, the more she longed to see the moment when Sawara Kiri was defeated by her.

“Wow—”

Uchiha Hikaru waved his sleeves, dispersing the smoke and dust in front of him.

After being exposed in the smoke and dust, the group of people hidden in the cloud were fully armed but looked terrified.

Looking down from a high place, one can see that the Hidden Cloud Village, which is in a wartime state and where factories everywhere have begun to produce military supplies at full capacity, is now mostly in ruins.

Scattered figures in black robes followed behind Uchiha Hikaru, occupying a small half of the territory centered on the Raikage Building, and confronted the Hidden Cloud Ninjas who were still struggling desperately in front of them.

Uchiha Hikaru stood on the top of the Raikage Building, looking down. Half of the building had collapsed, and a lot of concrete floors were stained with bright red blood. Broken limbs were everywhere, and dark red fires were burning everywhere. It was obvious that the city had just experienced an extremely brutal battle.

The Fourth Raikage had just died not long ago, and the Hidden Cloud Village had not even had time to elect a new leader. In this situation, they could only elect Xi, who usually served as a military strategist, from the crowd as a temporary leader.

“Uchiha Hikaru! What on earth do you want to do?!”

Xi’s left arm was broken at the elbow, obviously implicated in the explosion just now. Blood was still dripping from the charred fracture, but she didn’t care about her injuries at all at the moment. She covered the fracture and raised her head towards the woman, angrily scolding:
“There are still three countries in the ninja world now. The gap between us and Konoha is the smallest! This war is also the last fight of the entire ninja world!”

“As we are both enemies of Sawara Kiri, why are you attacking Kumogakure?!”

“Do you think that after the war, that monster Sawara Kiri will let you go?”

Xi roared while keeping his head up.

I feel both despair and unwillingness in my heart.

She couldn’t understand it at all!
What on earth was this crazy woman thinking?

The enemy of my enemy, even if he is not an ally, should at least not be another enemy!
Hearing this, Uchiha Hikaru looked down at her, looking down on her. His expression was completely devoid of the enthusiasm of the previous second, as if he was looking down at a group of noisy ants, and he said coldly:

“With your shallow and narrow vision, how can you understand the bond between me and Mr. Wu?”

“We are different from you.”

“The only difference is that the paths we take are different.”

Whether it is to kill all the ninjas or to leave some of them to unify the ninja world, the goal is to completely eliminate the war between ninjas from the root.

How could their vision be limited to one country or one place like these narrow-minded Yunyin people?
Xi couldn’t help but pause when he heard this, and the look of astonishment seemed to be frozen on his face.

At this moment, her eyes happened to meet Uchiha Hikaru’s scarlet eyes.

“Eight Thousand Spears”

Another surging attack with pupil power roaring.

In just a moment, Xi’s head tilted back and his body paused.

Immediately lost the ability to resist.

Seeing this, Uchiha Guang waved his hand behind him with a bored look on his face.

Immediately afterwards, large groups of human figures flew like locusts and rushed forward.

Even Konoha, which had undergone many reforms and used countless means to fundamentally improve the overall strength of ninjas, could not stop the explosive attack, so how could these scattered Kumogakure be able to stop it?

Not to mention, in the rugged terrain of the Hidden Cloud Village, they had not been able to build even slightly solid fortresses and trenches. Countless civilians who were leaving the village under the command of the ninjas were still fleeing, further reducing the already small number of Hidden Cloud Ninjas.

With a zero-to-whole strategy, Yunyin was completely conquered in less than half a day.

The vast majority of ninjas were controlled by the special Wood Release kunai and were forcibly injected with the “Eight Thousand Spears” eye power, turning them into completely controlled puppets.

Uchiha Hikaru strolled among the ruins, feeling the total amount of chakra in his body increase significantly again, and let out a breath.

Soil, thunder, waterfall, grass, field, soup
Although only two-fifths of the big countries were under her complete control, she had also taken down all the ninjas from the small countries. After adding up all the pieces, the number of ninjas completely under her control had exceeded 60,000.

Uchiha Guang could feel that she had touched that vague line.

“Just give it a try.”

The girl sighed softly.

This level is already the limit of what she can achieve at the moment.

If you want to further expand the group of controlled ninjas, you must confront Mr. Mist head-on.

With her current condition, it would be impossible for her to win.

If that’s the case, then there’s nothing to hesitate about.

“Lord Guang.”

Oonoki appeared beside her, half-kneeling, and said in a deep voice: “The surrounding Kumogakure troops have been roughly cleared.”

“The Two-Tails Jinchuriki has been captured.”

“very good.”

Just as he was reporting, a figure hurried over from the other side.

“Lord Guang.”

“We found a Wood Release cultivated creature in the cave in the back mountain of Kumogakure!”

“It’s a tree!”

“Ok?”

Uchiha Guang was startled when he heard this and turned his head to look to the side.

Xi stood beside her and said, “It was cultivated from a wood escape arm that was captured by our army when Shimura Danzo fought against Kumogakure a few years ago.”

“I originally wanted to use this to explore the secrets of Wood Release, but due to limited research funds, it has been put aside for the time being.”

The corners of Uchiha Hikaru’s lips curled up, and his joy seemed even greater than if he had taken over the entire Kumogakure.

“very good.”

“Take me there.”

“Yes!”

If she was still a little unsure about the exact measure before when she was just relying on the huge pupil power to cast the spell, now she was 90 percent sure of it.

It was a day later that Konoha received the news from the Land of Lightning.

Even with the means of ninja, it is impossible to complete real-time monitoring of other villages, not to mention during wartime. Even many of Konoha’s spies ambushed in Kumogakure were controlled by Uchiha Hikaru’s eye technique. Only a small number of them escaped first when they saw the situation was not good. It was a blessing to be able to get first-hand information.

However, this news still caused headaches for everyone in Konoha.

“Found in the east and attack in the west.”

Tsunade, who had just arrived at the front-line tent not long ago, looked at the large-scale military map on the table and whispered something with a frown.

“That lunatic Uchiha Hikaru really doesn’t take human life seriously at all.”

As she spoke, she turned her head and looked to the other side: “Wu, how much do you know about that guy?”

“Besides, why are we suddenly gathered here?”

Sahara Kiri was sitting at the conference table nearby. Facing Tsunade’s sharp gaze, he could not help but sit up straight and said calmly, “In fact, I haven’t had much contact with her. I just have a little understanding of her purpose.”

At this moment, he couldn’t help but speak carelessly.

On the front, side and back of the conference table were Tsunade, Uchiha Yayoi and Konan. Even Yukie, who was brought along by Tsunade as the Hokage’s secretary, was staring at him with narrowed eyes.

The meaning in that look is really intriguing.

Under the gaze of the four girls, Sawara Kiri felt very uncomfortable, and had the inexplicable illusion that she was striding towards a Shura Field.

To the extent that he had to secretly look towards Orochimaru for help.

“cough.”

Perhaps he noticed Sawara Kiri’s gaze, or perhaps it was just business, Orochimaru followed Sawara Kiri’s voice and continued:

“Carving Tsukuyomi, this should be the technique she is planning.”

“This is an effect we have seen in near-future lenses.”

“According to our observations, this is probably a technique that can use the moon as a refraction plate to maximize the power of the Mangekyo pupil. It can cast the spell on half of the planet at the same time and control all ninjas in the palm of Uchiha Hikaru’s hand.”

“Yes, that’s right.” Sawara Kiri nodded in approval.

Tsunade’s brows suddenly twisted into a knot.

No wonder, after the battle that day, Sahara Kiri forced the Hokage’s office to immediately transport the entire team to the front line, even disregarding the control over the Wind Kingdom.

Now, on this battle line that divides the Fire and Earth sides and is more than 300 kilometers long, most of Konoha’s ninjas are stationed.

She originally thought that Sawara Kiri was not sure about the battle between herself and Uchiha Hikaru.

So it seems that it is to protect them?
“.”

“Is there no way to stop her before she completes the spell?”

After a long silence, Tsunade suddenly asked.

“It’s hard.”

Sawara Kiri shook his head: “Even if the Eight Thousand Spears are thousands of miles away, they can still control the actions of the puppets. Uchiha Hikaru can find a place to perform the technique in secret.”

“The ninja world is so big that even if we send out all the Hyuga clan, it will probably be difficult to find her.”

“Besides, there isn’t enough time.”

As he spoke, he recalled the plot in the original work where Jiraiya was searching for information about the Akatsuki organization.

Even Jiraiya, whose intelligence network covered most of the ninja world, took more than two years to get clues and confirm that Pain’s base was in the Hidden Rain Village.

Not to mention ordinary intelligence personnel.

“Can’t we use the same control-type eye technique to offset it?” Uchiha Yayoi, who was sitting on the side, asked with a frown.

I have to say, although she has only been here from the Wind Kingdom not long ago, when it comes to defeating Uchiha Hikaru head-on, Miss Yayoi can be said to be one of the most powerful people in the entire Konoha.

What’s more, her “Tiandiannu” is also a control type.

“It’s hard.”

Sahara Kiri shook his head: “Even with Uchiha Hikaru’s eye power, I’m afraid it would take tens of thousands of people to barely reach the conditions for opening the “Seal of Tsukuyomi.”

“So, Mr. Wu asked everyone to dig underground caves in advance?”

“Yes.”

“But it’s just an experiment.”

In fact, Sawara Kiri was not sure whether digging a deeper underground cave and stuffing all the people in to form a completely enclosed and light-proof chamber could avoid the first wave of large-scale eye-jutsu attacks.

After all, it didn’t appear in the original book.

In the final battle, it seems that the only people who can avoid the Infinite Tsukuyomi are those who are enveloped by Sasuke and Kakashi’s Susanoo.

The most lethal one seems to be the first round of the technique – that is, the moment when the moon just turns into the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

After the first round of eye techniques was over and the battle with Kaguya Otsutsuki began, although Sakura, without any protection, was also exposed to the Infinite Tsukuyomi, she was not affected by it and even knocked a bump on Kaguya’s head, thus forcibly completing the symmetry of the new three ninjas.

In addition, the toads in the different space of Myoboku Mountain and Samui and others sealed in the Six Paths Gourd will not be affected by the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

This technique doesn’t seem to be that invincible.

of course.

The Naruto world he lives in now has been changed into a mess by him, and there seems to be some difference between the Seal Tsukuyomi and the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Sahara Kiri is not sure what will happen next.

All I can say is, an extra layer of insurance is a better insurance.

What gave him the most headache was not Uchiha Hikaru, but those Otsutsuki who must be hiding in the dark, ready to make a move and no one knew what they were doing.

Sawara Kiri would not become complacent just because he killed a young Otsutsuki Shibaai. He was put in a tough fight without even using his full strength.

really.

Still not strong enough.

He couldn’t help but sigh to himself.

Just as Sawara Kiri was thinking silently in his heart, he suddenly raised his head towards the distance.

Tsunade and the others all looked at him.

“Go into the cave!”

The front line.

Hinata Hizashi was crouching and hiding in a pit, with veins bulging on his temples. He kept his Byakugan open and his vision was all black and white.

Suddenly, a boundless ball of fire surged into this black and white world.

His pure white pupils suddenly froze, and he shouted to the surrounding perception team:
“Enemy situation!”

“Ten kilometers due north!”

Almost as soon as the words fell, a flare shot into the sky.

The Konoha ninjas who were jointly performing earth-style ninjutsu and digging caves in the rear saw the red signal shot up from the sky, and immediately lined up and entered the underground pit under the guidance of many grassroots commanders.

If you look down from the sky, you can see groups of people like ants disappearing from the edge of the field of vision, leaving only a few observation posts hidden in the newly built fortress, quietly looking in the direction where the signal was sent.

The reconnaissance ninjas scattered around like sesame seeds kept retreating in small groups.

One of them was about to crawl into the hole when his arm was suddenly grabbed by a middle-level commander in the trench, who asked loudly:
“How many enemies are there?”

“one person!”

“one?”

The middle-level commander asked back subconsciously.

However, after seeing the genuine fear on the other person’s face, she seemed to suddenly realize something and let go of his hand.

Sawara Kiri passed the retreating ninjas and moved forward against the current.

Following behind him were Tsunade and others.

In just a short while, the figure opposite him stepped out of the forest, smiling as gently as the spring breeze, and met his deep blue eyes, completely ignoring the people around him.

Sawara Kiri looked calm.

“meet again.”

“fog.”

There was a warm smile on Uchiha Hikaru’s face. It didn’t look like they were enemies at all, but rather like lovers reuniting after a long separation.

The gentle look blended with the distorted feeling emanating from this body full of murderous intent, causing everyone present to feel a sense of disobedience.

This woman is indeed a lunatic.

Uchiha Yayoi thought.

Sahara Kiri walked towards her, his tone becoming calmer: “Instead of hiding in the dark, you appeared in front of me?”

“You should understand what this means, right?”

“Of course.”

Uchiha Hikaru also took a step forward, put one hand on his chest, and said softly:

“If we lose because of some small tricks, even Wu would be unwilling to accept it, right?”

“The language of ninja is only swords and knives after all.”

“so.”

The girl’s eyes were fixed on him, her eyes reflecting a deep and clear scarlet, and her voice finally began to ripple like the ripples on a deep lake, a barely perceptible madness:
“If I win.”

“Let’s be together forever.”

The moment the words fell, the earth shook.

The giant tree that rose up suddenly rushed straight towards the sky from the forest behind Uchiha Hikaru, extending hundreds of meters away in a short moment. Countless cocoons entangled in the gaps between the tree roots were anchored by the “Eight Thousand Spears”, guiding the huge amount of chakra of tens of thousands of ninjas into it.

In addition, there are many other heads such as two-tailed, four-tailed, five-tailed, and seven-tailed.

The surging chakra made the girl’s body feel as if it was suddenly wrapped in the center of a chakra torrent like a countercurrent waterfall, rushing straight into the sky.

“Seal of Tsukuyomi: Eight Thousand Spears”

In an instant, the red moon shines down.
