I, Hikaru Uchiha, join the chat group

Chapter 205 Obito’s plan

along the way.

Kakashi and others looked quite nervous.

Konoha received the request for help from the Kingdom of Demons a few days ago. After some discussions and reviewing relevant information, the mission was finally designated as "Super S-Class".

This also means that there are likely to be multiple enemies above the shadow level in the mission.

One is a monster.

Judging from the sporadic records in the scroll, it is speculated that the strength of this monster is no less than that of the tailed beast. If it weren't for Miroku's assurance in the letter that he had the ability to seal the demons and only needed the assistance of the Ninja Village, Konoha might have considered whether to accept this task.

The other one is the leader of the Underworld Sect.

According to the information, this ninja is quite powerful. If the information that "a sprite can give its power to others" is true, then his strength may be close to that of the Five Shadows.

We do not rule out the possibility that other enemies will appear in the mission.

Then, he saw Esdeath kneeling down and pressing down with his hands.

Therefore, for Kakashi and others, this mission is life-threatening.

Esdeath flashed, jumped out of the ice in mid-air, and landed on the surging water.

But Uchiha Hikaru and Eriki looked very relaxed, as if they were here for a spring outing. From time to time they saw beautiful places and ran over to take photos.

In an instant, the chakra turned into a raging water, rising into the sky from the gate of Inashiki Castle, and then pouring back violently, setting off waves several meters high, hitting the mercenaries. Although these things were not afraid of death, their actions still had to follow the rules of physics, and they were all knocked upside down by the current.

"is it?"

"...just civilians."

Different from the small fights seen along the way, the number of military mercenaries here is surprisingly large. Looking at it, it is a large area of ​​​​black water, which makes people secretly scared.

"Xiao Ai should have seen the demon by now, right?"

Uchiha Hikaru frowned slightly, and was about to turn around and say something to Esdeath when he saw the latter raise his hand, and several ice knights immediately separated from the team and launched an attack on the mercenaries in the village. charge. When viewed from mid-air, it was like a sharp white arrow inserted into the black mire, instantly knocking the mercenaries to pieces.

In terms of number of rounds, Esdeath's Ice Knights are far less than the "Ghost Corps". After all, the former was created by her using the power of "Devil's Essence", while the latter was created by the sprites using the corpses of the people they killed. , almost endless.

Did you deliberately disperse these mercenaries to create chaos everywhere?

Uchiha Hikari formed a seal with his hands and opened his mouth to spit.

"...Water Release·Water Rushing Wave!!"

the other side.

A few hours after leaving the capital.

Uchiha Hikari's shadow clone stood on the suspended ice together with Esdeath, flying at low altitude towards the west of the Ghost Country, followed by a vast number of ice knights, like an army marching out.

"That rascal……"

However, because the Ice Knight's single combat effectiveness is slightly higher than that of the mercenary, he can defeat three of them. In addition, both sides have the characteristics of immortality. Even if they are hammered to pieces, they can still get up and continue to hurt each other, so they block the progress of the ghost corps. It is completely possible to allow the civilians of the Ghost Country to escape calmly.

——It was taken with Eriyi’s mobile phone.

A large number of buildings were in pieces, and the road was stained dark red with dried blood. Soldiers and mercenaries were walking among the ruins, with flames like will-o'-the-wisps beating inside their heads. With the arrival of Uchiha Hikaru and the two, they were like sharks that smelled the smell of blood, gathering crazily from all directions.

"No, I just thought you wouldn't care about the lives of those weaklings."

This girl gradually loses the ignorant look she had at the beginning, and becomes more and more like an ordinary girl. In addition to supplementing all kinds of common sense that are lacking in life, even various electronic products have slowly begun to be used proficiently.

As for Kikyo, she had already begun to communicate with Maitreya at this time.

along the way.

Esdeath's expression remained unchanged: "Although they are all weak, they still have some value. It would be too sad to be killed by these puppets who don't even have their own will."

The two divided their forces along the way and continued to move forward.

then……

Inashiki Castle.

Sensing Uchiha Hikaru's gaze, Esdeath raised an eyebrow: "Is there any problem?"

……

"Count the time..."

At noon, when the group stopped for a short rest, Uchiha Hikari raised his head and looked to the west in the distance.

that's it.

Although they are in different worlds, the two of them are considered companions, and the demon and Naraku also have some similar characteristics. Kikyo seems to be curious about the formation process of this thing.

They saw several sporadic "ghost regiments" wreaking havoc in villages and fields. Some soldiers in light armor, together with villagers holding steel forks, were fighting them with difficulty, covering the retreat of their companions behind them.

Almost at the same time she fell, the water beneath her feet solidified into ice.

"Ok?"

Uchiha Hikari and Esdeath finally arrived at the location predicted by Maitreya.

According to the map, this was once a city with nearly ten thousand people living there, but now it has become a dead city.

Uchiha Hikaru was noncommittal.

"...Ice Purgatory!!"

At this moment, the "Devil's Essence" logo on Esdeath's chest flashed. Then, there was boundless cold air rising into the sky!

The temperature plummeted!

One second ago, there was still a huge wave of water at the city gate, just like the scene of Zeguo.

The next second, the white frost swept out into a huge fan-shaped area in front of Esdeath! Wherever it passed, the flowing water was quickly frozen, and the mercenaries who fell into the water were also frozen in the ice cave!

Ice cubes of all sizes are growing like mushrooms after a rain.

From ice edges, to icicles, to icebergs nearly 100 meters high... In just a blink of an eye, a silver-white world of ice and snow spread out in Inashiki Castle! It covers several blocks around the city gate, and is still expanding further!
"..."

Esdeath suddenly raised his head and glanced in a certain direction in the city: "There are still people."

"Ok?"

"There are still living people in this town. They may be the owners of these ghost corps."

"?"

Uchiha Hikaru, who was in mid-air, raised his eyebrows.

Are the sprites there? "In that direction... I can indeed feel a breath of chakra, go and have a look!"

The words fell.

Just heard...

Bang! ! !
A few miles away from the city gate, above another block, a red fire suddenly appeared, and then there was a loud bang!
Uchiha Hikari and Esdeath exchanged glances, and quickly approached the direction of the sound. During this process, a very powerful chakra aura and an extremely strong bloody aura were colliding head-on with them.

Are you really here?
Just as Esdeath expanded through the ice, he became aware of the remaining living people in the city.

The people over there also discovered their existence.

When Uchiha Hikaru and Esdeath rushed over, they heard a few whistling sounds, but several ninja-looking people appeared on the roof not far away, shouting: "Stop! You are who?"

"Master Sprite is eating. Anyone who dares to interrupt will be shot to death!"

"...Master Sprite?"

Uchiha stopped in mid-air, narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the people on the opposite side, especially looking at their foreheads without forehead protectors.

"A person from the Underworld Cult?"

"So you are a ninja who came to conquer. Although I don't know which ninja village you are from, since you are here, please stay here!"

While talking.

One of the Huangquan Cult ninjas rushed over in large strides. While traveling at high speed, a thick layer of rock-like armor began to appear on his body. This layer of armor seemed to be quite heavy, causing him to leave huge footprints on the roof of the house with every step he took. Finally, he jumped up from the roof and waved his fist at Uchiha Hikaru in mid-air!
"The momentum is good."

Uchiha Hikari slowly drew the knife from behind: "But... it's too weak."

With these words, the dragon bone knife, which had expanded to more than four meters long, was swung out with force!

"Crescent Moon Celestial!!!"

At this moment, a sword energy nearly forty meters high appeared in the sky under the sky and slashed towards the ninja from the Huangquan Sect. The latter's eyes widened in horror, and he temporarily blocked his arms in front of his body. Then his body was swallowed up by the sharp sword energy, and he was smashed straight back!
boom--! !

Milky white air waves exploded accompanied by sonic booms.

In just a few seconds, the Huang Quan Cult ninja was propelled by the sword energy and flew hundreds of meters backwards. His figure disappeared halfway, and the sword energy continued to move past dozens of houses along the way. The roof of the house finally crashed into a tower like a meteor. As large rocks fell, all the buildings along the way were turned into ruins!

Even after destroying the tower.

The momentum of "Crescent Sky Climb" did not stop, and it flew hundreds of meters in one breath before gradually disappearing in the air.

"?!"

Several other Huang Quan Cult ninjas were stunned on the spot. They were all dumbfounded.

Is this...swordsmanship or ninjutsu? How could it be so powerful? !
"Sorry, it seems like it was a bit overkill."

"For you, you should use the normal dragon bone knife."

Uchiha Hikari withdrew his spiritual power, returned the Dragon Bone Sword to its original shape, and then raised his chin towards Esdeath below: "I'll leave the rest to you, Xiao Ai. The monsters should be in front, clean them out. Just go and have a look.”

talking.

Uchiha Hikari activated his dancing skills and flew higher, squinting his eyes to look at the mountains in the distance. Because of the heavy trees, the scene on the mountain is a bit unclear.

"I always feel like... someone is watching here. Who could it be?"

……

"How... could it be her?!"

Outside Inashiki Castle.

On a hillside several kilometers apart.

Obito, who was wearing a black red cloud robe, opened his eyes wide and looked at the tiny figure at the end of his sight, with a look of astonishment on his face covered by the mask.

"Who?"

Next to him, another man in black and red cloud robe held up a telescope, followed Obito's gaze and looked into the town: "Hey, why is there a girl flying in the air over there... Is the light and heavy rock jutsu of Iwagakure Village? It's the third generation. Tsuchikage’s disciple? There’s another one who seems to be a ninja with the Ice Release Blood Succession Limit?”

"..."

Obito was silent for a moment before speaking in a deep voice: "She is the Uchiha I told you."

"...The grandma of the Uchiha clan?"

Another member of the Akatsuki organization, Hirohu who was brought in by Obito not long ago, was slightly startled, and then his eyes flashed: "I remember, she has the same Mangekyō Sharingan as you, right? If I …”

"If you want to die, I won't stop you."

Obito snorted coldly: "Your 'Oni Meiluo Technique' is indeed impressive, but it is still too early to fight her just by relying on the blood inheritance limits that you have absorbed before.

One of her kaleidoscope abilities is 'Tsukuyomi', which is one of the most powerful pupil illusions. It only takes one look at you to pull you into the illusion space. Even I'm not sure that I can take that move, and it's even less likely that you just absorbed a pair of three magatama. "

"is it?"

Bei Liuhu was noncommittal, but there was a bit of eagerness in his eyes.

As a former Konoha ninja and companion of the Sannin, he was quite familiar with Uchiha, and he coveted the Sharingan as much as Orochimaru. If he can get a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan, his "Onimera no Jutsu" will be considered a success.

the other side.

Obito was also confused.

"Didn't Hei definitely say that she has been active in Tianzhi Country recently? How did she appear here, when did she come here, and why was she not given any information beforehand?"

"Who is the woman with her? Such a powerful ice ninjutsu, I'm afraid even the strongest person before the Minazuki clan was exterminated could not do it. Where did Uchiha Hikari find it from? Yuki country?"

A lot of complicated thoughts lingered in Obito's heart.

but……

He soon realized another thing——

Now that Uchiha Hikari has appeared here, it may be difficult for the demon to escape, but with its strength, it shouldn't be defeated quickly in a short time. As long as he takes this opportunity, quickly rushes to the capital area, and kills Maitreya, who has no defense strength around him, then this situation will be reversed.

——Think about it, Miroku is surrounded by some ninja teams from Konoha and Kumogakure. Taking this opportunity to kill them all will also weaken Konoha's strength and pave the way for his subsequent plans.

"Let's go, Beilihu. There's no point in staying here anymore. Let's do what needs to be done."

Obito suddenly spoke.

"……you mean?"

"Of course I killed the Maitreya witch and brought her body here."

"According to the information provided by Zetsu, the power of the shrine maiden and the sprite have the same origin. Once it devours Maitreya, the sprite's strength will more than double its current level. As long as this is done, no one can stop it. ”
