"coming!"

In the field of view detected by the telescope, a figure shining with lightning was sprinting on the road like lightning. In the blink of an eye, it covered a distance of tens of meters.

The jounin leading the team immediately jumped forward and flew through the deserted streets in front of them.

A group of subordinates followed closely behind, and for a time, the walls, building roofs, and alleyways were filled with the figures of Konoha ninjas running and flashing, targeting Sasuke like a tide, and encircling him from all directions.

Silently, a large and airtight net was formed, trapping Sasuke in it.

They were determined to ambush Sasuke here and end the battle.

The rear area is not only the residence of the consultants, but also many residents who have not been able to move.

If the last protective circle in the northwest region was broken through by Sasuke, the consequences would be disastrous.

Facing the attack of hundreds of elite ninjas, Sasuke remained calm. While running, his hands had completed the Seal in an instant. After taking a deep breath of air, his chest immediately swelled as if it were inflated.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

It was not a fireball, but a continuous fire escape technique consisting of dozens of fireballs, which were ejected from Sasuke's mouth in the blink of an eye.

If houses, telephone poles, walls, etc. encounter obstacles, the fireball will explode immediately, destroying everything in front of them.

As a result, the Konoha ninjas who rushed to the front line were blown away by the impact storm caused by the fireball explosion before they could launch an attack, and fell into wailing and chaos.

The fire burning on the ground is boiling wantonly, seemingly hotter than the sun in the sky, turning this place directly into a high temperature area that even ninjas cannot bear.

Sasuke drew out the Kusanagi sword from his waist and jumped out.

Two Konoha ninjas immediately rushed out of the wall of fire. One drew his ninja sword and confronted Sasuke from the front with cold weapons. The other crouched slightly, attached a wind blade to a kunai, and stabbed Sasuke in the right leg.

Sasuke forced back the Jonin who was using the Ninja Sword, moved his body backwards, and easily dodged the sneak attack of the second Jonin.

The cuffs of Sasuke shook, and with a wave of his left hand, the shurikens were wrapped with lightning and flew towards the two jounin who were blocking him.

Ding ding ding!

The Jonin with the Wind Release attached to his kunai deflected the shuriken with lightning at a fierce speed.

He was really about to attack when a figure flashed in front of him.

So fast! The Jonin's face was startled. Before he could react, his chest seemed to be hit hard, and with the crisp sound of broken ribs, it turned into a cannonball and hit the building, and was buried in the rubble.

Sasuke flipped the Kusanagi sword with his right hand and lightly held the ninja sword coming from the side. His bright red eyes glared fiercely at the jounin who was sneaking up on him.

It was already too late to escape. The Konoha jounin immediately stiffened, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying. The muscles on his face twisted together in fear. Then he let out an extremely horrifying scream and knelt on his knees.

He fell in front of Sasuke.

Sasuke raised his arm and was about to swing down the Kusanagi sword in his hand.

A projectile appeared in his field of vision, causing him to subconsciously turn his gaze.

laugh!

The projectile exploded, and the bright light that blocked his vision burst out instantly, shrouding Sasuke in the blazing white light, blocking his vision.

The originally normal area of ​​​​the shadow immediately increased ten times under the strong light, and it easily touched Sasuke's shadow.

"it's over."

With a cold and decisive tone, when it came into contact with Sasuke's shadow, it immediately protruded from the ground and turned into substantial spikes, rushing towards Sasuke's body.

Boom!

It didn't sound like it was penetrating human flesh and blood, but it was like hitting something extremely tough and hard.

The strong light dissipated, and a purple skeleton materialized with chakra wrapped around Sasuke's body in all directions, blocking all the shadow thorns that hit him.

Looking at his shadow that was eroded by black, his body seemed to be bound by ropes and unable to move.

Sasuke turned his head slightly, and a familiar figure came into view.

The opponent was in a half-crouching position, kneeling on one knee, keeping his hands in a hand seal, and his pair of dark pupils were filled with coldness and murderous intent.

It was Shikamaru.

Even if they were friends who were classmates, once their respective positions are clear, the only option is to kill the other person.

Maybe he still felt guilty, but this guilt quickly disappeared from Shikamaru's mind when he considered his position.

From the moment you become a ninja, you can no longer think naively about the meaning of survival.

He didn't want others to bear the pain of killing a friend, whether it was Naruto, Ino, or Choji and others... he was the one who could end this hatred.

As long as Sasuke dies, no matter what kind of punishment he will face next, he will be ready to wake up.

If you are trusted by others, you must not be merciful and must be worthy of the trust and recognition of others.

End the grudge between Sasuke and Konoha in the way a ninja should.

Ninjas are beings who carry darkness on their backs and move forward with a heavy burden.

"Shikamaru? Did you just say it was over? Didn't the battle just begin?"

A series of rhetorical questions came softly from Sasuke's mouth.

Although it is plain, it has a very penetrating sense of power that cannot be ignored.

The purple skeleton covering Sasuke's body was like an ominous sign before the awakening of some huge terror, making people feel frightened from the bottom of their hearts.

"superior."

No nonsense, Shikamaru came here for only one purpose, and that was to kill Sasuke.

No words could persuade Sasuke to let go of his overwhelming hatred for annihilation.

Shikamaru knew this very well.

The blood feud in Sasuke's heart can only be washed away with blood.

There is no need to persuade, there is no need to refute, and there is no need to feel guilty.

Because the other party insisted on his own justice, he made the decision to take revenge on Konoha.

For the sake of relatives and clan members, this is a matter of course.

As the son of man, as the last descendant of the former Konoha Uchiha, this is Sasuke's mission and responsibility.

And he stood there as a Konoha ninja, in order to protect the village and kill all invading enemies.

That's all.

Following Shikamaru's order, ninjas wearing ANBU uniforms and colorful masks jumped out of the shadows one by one.

His breath was cold, like a machine without emotions.

It's just a killing tool that exists to complete a mission.

Ninja swords, ninjutsu, secret techniques and various attack methods were generated from their hands without any hesitation or hesitation, and all actions were completed in an instant.

However, at this time, the sky suddenly became gloomy.

Dark clouds gather in the sky, blocking the sun.

The terrifying giant shadow of the devil rises from the ground and is still growing and climbing.

The frightened expressions of the ninjas were shrouded in shadow.

"A guy with roots? Let's collect some interest first. Get up and exercise. It's almost time to finish."

A smile appeared on the corner of Sasuke's mouth. He was obviously smiling, but there was no hint of smile, only coldness.

A huge samurai wearing Karasu Tengu armor, his whole body shrouded in ominous purple.

The warrior reached his palm into the void and waved lightly in front of him.

Shikamaru's expression suddenly changed in shock.

"Quickly retreat!"

Unfortunately, it's too late.

The huge palm that swung down from the void was originally empty, but at the moment it fell, a huge sword burning with purple flames was grabbed out of the void by the huge palm, and a gorgeous purple sword light was slashed out.

Shikamaru retreated wildly and opened his mouth. Faced with such an attack, everything he said seemed pale and powerless.

An entire street was reduced to ruins by the swing of the sword.

On the ground, flesh, blood, and masks were scattered everywhere.

"kaleidoscope……"

Shikamaru's lips tightened, his eyes fixed on Sasuke's brighter red Sharingan, and his face turned pale.

"Aren't those two consultants planning to come out next?"

Sasuke's eyes passed directly over Shikamaru, ignoring his existence as if he were looking at nothing. He finally understood why he would immediately fall into an absolute disadvantage as soon as Ruri and Itachi used such power.
Chapter completed!
