Like a crescent moon, it radiates a cold and mysterious light.
It cuts from the horizon into the distance.
A figure could be vaguely seen above the crescent moon, but compared to the powerful slash, he was incredibly small.
However, its strong presence penetrates into everyone's heart.
This scene could be witnessed even by people from various countries within Konoha.
Nestled among the mountains, the crescent moon was breathtakingly beautiful.
Even though they were far apart, their eyes were stung by the sharpness of the strike.
"This is... the Slash Release..."
"This godlike power... this is Uchiha Kagami!"
"I must obtain the Slash Escape Technique!!"
"Who is his opponent? Why did he make a move?"
"I heard... someone stole the eyes of an Uchiha clansman..."
"...So brave?"
"Who's so stupid? Did they just come out of a ravine? This rift valley next to Konoha, and the Land of Lightning..."
"Excuse me, brothers from Kumogakure... no, this is Konoha!"
Why are you glaring at me! Go ahead and hit me if you dare!
"If you dare to hit me, I'll lie down. Just wait to be hacked to death."
Ninjas from various countries flocked to the area, but the strongest among them remained calm and wouldn't reveal their information now.
The group on the lower level were just there to watch the excitement, and they were quite well-behaved.
Many mediocre ninjas caused trouble, so Konoha designated a specific area for beheading them.
Hundreds of people have been killed in just half a day. Tsk tsk, the blood in the cracks of the stone slabs is frighteningly black.
Hiruko watched the massive slash descend from the sky.
The black and red lightning, like a raging beast, tore at the curtain called space, emitting a loud crack.
The Swift Escape technique, which they were so proud of, was now useless.
The freeze response is a self-preservation instinct controlled by the limbic system of the brain, helping individuals reduce movement to avoid attracting the attention of predators.
This phenomenon exists not only in humans, but also in many animals.
For example, a deer will freeze when it sees car headlights, and a rabbit will play dead when it is frightened.
Faced with such an attack, the brain forcibly stopped Hiruko from using ninjutsu.
No... there's no escaping it.
Dark Release that absorbs ninjutsu?
It's meaningless...
Stand still and don't move.
Death will be quick and painless.
This is the optimal solution provided by the brain.
Sizzle——————
The ear-piercing sonic boom shattered Hiruko's eardrums.
This breathtakingly beautiful and massive slash shattered into countless tiny specks less than a meter away from him.
“Hiruko…”
Uchiha Kagami hovered above Hiruko, speaking without a trace of emotion.
"Very well, if it's you, then there's an even better way to die."
"You worm who covets the Sharingan, do you also crave a quick death?"
Hiruko's dark red eyes trembled violently.
He had a strong premonition.
He will regret it...
He regretted not having mustered the courage to charge towards that slash.
A black rod extended through his cheek.
In an extremely humiliating manner, like a dead fish, he was dragged towards Konoha.
Chapter 125 Ninja World
The huge square, large enough to hold hundreds of thousands of people, was teeming with people.
The Akatsuki organization, the ninjas of the four countries, Hashirama Senju, Yomi possessed by Moryo...
Everyone is waiting for an outcome.
No one believed that guy could evade Uchiha Kagami's pursuit; what they were curious about was...
What are the consequences of stealing the Sharingan?
If it's just a matter of a quick and clean death, there's no shortage of desperate people among ninjas.
Who wouldn't be tempted by a bloodline limit that is invincible and possessed by an entire race?
Soon, a streak of light appeared above the group.
Hiruko's high-necked trench coat was pulled off, revealing his thin body wrapped in bandages.
That gaping mouth, like that of a woman with a split jaw, was pierced by a black rod.
His cold, scarlet eyes swept over the crowd, and even Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan, unconsciously looked away.
Uchiha Kagami spotted Orochimaru in the crowd, along with Jiraiya and the others who had rushed back.
"Orochimaru, Jiraiya-sensei, do you remember this guy named Hiruko?"
"Bei Liuhu..."
Orochimaru pondered for a moment, then his pupils suddenly contracted as if he had remembered something.
"Hiruko! What happened to you?!"
Jiraiya finally understood what that strange sense of familiarity was all about.
That handsome boy who often followed behind the three of them later became Hiruko, a Jonin of Konoha...
Then there's Hiruko, the Konoha rogue ninja.
Hiruko, with black rods inserted between the lacerations, could not utter a complete sound, only a whimper.
He desperately tried to hide his head, not wanting his old friends to see him in his current state.
The pitying, bewildered, and confused looks he received almost killed him.
Uchiha Kagami faced the crowd and spoke indifferently.
"There was another bug before, coveting the Uchiha's Sharingan."
He pointed to a corner of the square, where a skeleton was supported by several black rods piercing through it, inside a black cage.
"Shimura Danzo, some of you should have heard of him."
“His soul is still there; if you get closer, you should be able to hear his wails.”
"The Uchiha clan is not a fragile flower."
“I can accept it. You can kill the Uchiha, even if it's through underhanded means.”
"But I will not allow the Sharingan to appear in inferior beings."
"it's a pity……"
Uchiha Kagami looked at Hiruko indifferently: "You are a lone wolf with no relatives, so you shall bear this sin alone."
The black rod shot out with Hiruko attached, landing next to Shimura Danzo's cage.
The black rod twisted and deformed, binding his limbs so that his whole body was in a "T" shape.
An invisible hand pulled out mutilated corpses from his body.
Those were the bloodline limit ninjas he devoured and fused with.
"Do you wish to use this technique to reach a higher level?"
Uchiha Kagami arbitrarily denied everything Hiruko did.
"Is it just a crude kneading that gave you a brief moment of power, making you think you're a genius?"
"You're no different from how you were back then."
"No...you are even uglier now."
"Now, you can stay here and keep that bug company."
Hiruko was constantly suffering from physical pain, and physical punishment was meaningless to him.
If you want to prove yourself, then I will deny everything you have.
Uchiha Kagami's wide sleeves fluttered, and his cool voice reached everyone's ears in the extremely quiet square.
"Anyone who steals the Sharingan is an enemy of the Uchiha clan, a fight to the death."
"That's the old rule..."
"Now I will explain the new rules."
"If a non-Uchiha clan member were to obtain the Sharingan."
I don't care who he is.
"If he appears in the Land of Water, I will destroy the Land of Water."
"If I appear in the Land of Lightning, I will destroy the Land of Lightning and exterminate its people."
As he spoke, Uchiha Kagami revealed a slight smile.
"The Uchiha are the noblest clan in this world. You bunch of bastards should know your place."
"I didn't want to say these pointless things, but there will always be idiots who can't recognize their own shortcomings."
"If you're not convinced..."
"You can all come at me together, there's no need for this so-called martial arts demonstration."
"I'll kill you all."
Dead silence.
Uchiha Kagami did not unleash any so-called aura; he simply stood there like a willow swaying in the wind, and no one dared to make a move.
Uchiha Kagami has never been defeated since his debut.
After completely conquering the Land of Fire, he already had the title of a new generation of ninja god.
Ordinary ninjas were wary of his status as the head of the Uchiha clan and the de facto leader of the Land of Fire.
Those who truly possess strength are better able to understand the gap between themselves and Uchiha Kagami.
He mentally calculated the consequences of a sudden attack...
It might cause turmoil in Konoha, but in the end, they will all die from their attacks!
Before coming here, some people speculated that the so-called martial arts exercise was a trap.
The Fire Kingdom may eliminate dissidents during the competition, or cause rifts between the major powers.
He doesn't care about such things at all.
If you cooperate obediently, you will have a stage to showcase your talents.
If they don't obey, kill them all and start over.
