Chapter 68 Massacre
night.
Hinata Seiran, who had already returned home, lay on her bed, looking thoughtfully at the light-colored diamond-shaped mark in her hand.
The core function of the Yin Seal is to store a large amount of chakra.
However, the problem is also obvious: the current storage efficiency is still too slow.
Hinata Seiran could sense the chakra flowing into the mark.
Even though his current chakra reserves are already quite large, he still has to maintain a large-scale storage while ensuring the needs of daily combat.
It will still be very difficult for him.
But the benefits of storing more chakra are obvious.
For example, if he had mastered the Yin Seal when he used "Super Shinra Tensei" last time, he wouldn't have had to waste the remaining chakra like that.
Instead, it can be stored directly.
"How can I fill the chakra deficit...?"
Hinata Seiran's eyes flickered as he began to ponder.
He had actually already thought of a solution.
In the original work, Sakura Haruno splits her chakra into two parts.
One large pool is used to store the chakra from the Yin Seal. A smaller pool is used to sustain the chakra consumed during daily battles.
Extract it and use it when needed.
This method requires an extremely high degree of precision in chakra control, and with his current abilities, he can barely manage to do it.
However, this approach is ultimately just a drop in the ocean.
The requirements cannot be met.
"..."
Suddenly, he paused, as if he had thought of something.
Those pure white eyes suddenly transformed into boundless, azure Tenseigan in the next instant.
A small, bluish-green ball slowly appeared in his palm at that moment.
"Perhaps I can absorb chakra like Momoshiki..."
Then, try to swallow it.
Like a chakra fruit or a medicinal pill.
And coincidentally, there was a place with a large amount of chakra...
Perfect, at least there's someone else to take the blame...
He closed his eyes.
The plan is already taking shape.
.....
Steaming mist hangs between the forest and the plain.
Natural hot spring pits can be seen from time to time on the ground, with heat waves carrying moist water vapor rising slowly.
If it weren't for the lingering shadow of war over this land, it would have been a prime location eagerly sought after for development.
Meanwhile, a Konoha squad was traversing the forest, continuously searching for clues.
The leader, Inuzuka Jaw, with his ninja dogs, constantly sniffed the air, trying to discern any lingering scents belonging to the coastal ninjas or the Hidden Mist Ninjas.
"It's getting fainter and fainter..."
Inuzuka muttered something under his breath, his brows furrowing even more as he looked toward a cave half-hidden in the mist in the distance.
Since discovering the whereabouts of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Konoha has been sending out small teams to track and surround them.
Originally, those guys from Kirigakure relied on their secretive movements to roam freely within the Land of Fire, and even occasionally harassed the borders of Konoha.
But ever since Minato Namikaze received the order to move out, those Kirigakure ninjas have been retreating step by step, almost being forced to retreat all the way.
However, despite the retreat, the Hidden Mist troops withdrew in a very orderly manner.
It's almost obvious who Inuzuka Tsukasa was capable of enabling the Kirigakure team to safely evade part of Konoha's search and encirclement...
The guy who stole the Zong family's white eye was probably among them.
"Rolling my eyes...rolling my eyes...this is so troublesome."
Inuzuka rubbed his temples, looking a bit of a headache, and turned to look at his junior who had been following closely behind him.
Uchiha Shisui.
A genius of the Uchiha clan, he went to the battlefield at a young age and even awakened the Three Tomoe.
What's even more remarkable is that, unlike ordinary Uchiha, he doesn't have that aggressive arrogance.
On the contrary, they are very polite and always greet their seniors respectfully when they meet.
He had always had a good impression of the child.
"Let's investigate for a while longer," Inuzuka said after a moment's thought. "Three days. Report the situation here to the higher-ups later."
"Yes." Santen in the mountains nodded in agreement.
Just as the two finished sending the message and were about to order the evacuation, they suddenly saw Shisui, who had been standing quietly to the side, move without warning.
The short sword, almost as tall as a person, was suddenly drawn from its sheath.
Swish!
A sharp slash struck directly at a clump of bushes not far from the group.
At almost the same time, both Inuzuka Gaku and Yamanaka Santen turned around sharply.
Before they could make a move, a piercing scream came from the bushes.
"ah--!"
Immediately afterwards, a disheveled figure stumbled out from among them.
His entire body was covered in blood, and his breath was extremely weak.
A deep, bone-revealing knife wound on his abdomen was a shocking sight, and blood kept gushing from the wound, staining the ground red.
What's even more alarming is that this person's mental state has clearly collapsed completely; his eyes are unfocused, and he keeps muttering the same few words over and over.
"Dead...all dead..."
"Evil god... sacrifice..."
"It's over...it's all over..."
"???"
Inuzuka and Yamanaka exchanged a glance and froze.
Are all Uchiha this ruthless now?
The two of them had this thought almost simultaneously, and subconsciously turned to look at Shisui, who was standing still.
"Seniors, I did not use illusion magic."
"He seems to have suffered a mental breakdown. He was about to attack, which is why I..."
Uchiha Shisui, who was being stared at, felt both shy and anxious, but still quickly explained.
"No need for explanation, Shisui." Inuzuka Tsukasa's expression turned serious, and his gaze became earnest. "Hesitation on the battlefield leads to defeat. You did a good job."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the fallen enemy, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
If this person wasn't driven insane by Shisui's illusions.
That means the other party may have actually suffered some kind of extremely cruel torture and murder to become like this.
An enemy capable of such a thing is clearly not a benevolent person.
However, both the "evil god" and the "sacrifice" are dead.
What does that mean?
"Is it those guys from Kirigakure?" Inuzuka muttered to himself, his eyes gradually darkening. He turned his head and quickly gave the order: "Three days later, report the situation here to Minato immediately."
"Shisui, Timon, stay close to me. Let's go take a look."
"yes!"
Almost as soon as they finished speaking, they all set off at the same time.
Following the enemy's trail, they continued their pursuit deeper into the area.
The changes in his aura along the way happened even faster than Inuzuka had anticipated.
From its initial blandness, to a faint fishy smell, and then to an increasingly strong and pungent odor.
"This overwhelming smell of blood... just how many people have died?!"
Inuzuka's heart suddenly pounded wildly.
He had rarely smelled such a strong, pungent stench of blood, even on a large-scale battlefield.
To be able to reach this level...
Unless it's a massacre.
Before he could finish his thought, the fog suddenly dissipated in front of them.
My field of vision suddenly opened up.
What came into view was exactly the scene that Inuzuka E was most unwilling to face.
Wreckage, corpses, blood—it was everywhere...
