The Uchiha clan, which was wiped out entirely, lacked vision.

Chapter 128 Prepared

"That—Lord Hiruko—"

Looking at Hiruko beneath her, who was already panting, Shinyu, who was tied to his back, tentatively tried to speak, but was rudely interrupted by Hiruko.

"Shut up!"

"Don't say anything about abandoning you and running away!"

"The reason I've grown from an ordinary ninja with no talent to where I am today is because I never run away!"

"When I encounter difficulties, I will overcome them!"

"If I encounter an enemy, I will eliminate them!"

"This was true in Konoha, and it's true now!"

Hearing Hiruko's impassioned words, Shinyou tremblingly stretched her arm out from her sleeve and brought it to Hiruko's mouth, saying awkwardly, "What I mean is, Lord Hiruko, why don't you bite me? My chakra will be fully restored immediately."

"Uh—" Hiruko's face stiffened, then changed color and he shouted, "What are you biting for? Do you think I'm like those beasts from Kusagakure?"

Shouting, Beiruhu kept moving and activated his Swift Escape, flashing away from his original spot like the wind, letting the rain of poisonous needles cover his feet.

"He's vanished again! Shield up!"

Under Ebizo's command, the Sand Ninjas on the outer perimeter hid behind the puppets, completely surrounding the area.

"Bang!"

Hiruko shattered the shield with a single punch, sending a Sand Ninja flying, but he quickly retreated.

As soon as he left his original position, a humanoid puppet appeared where he had just been. With a wave of its hands, more than a dozen steel wires broke through from the ground and gathered into a fishing net shape.

Fortunately, he dodged quickly, otherwise he would have been entangled by the puppet.

With the Sharingan of the three tomoe, Hiruko's Swift Release could finally unleash its full power. He could advance or retreat at will, and while moving, he could see in all directions and would not be easily caught by traps.

"He's too fast, use an area attack!" Ebizo's voice rang out again.

"Yes!" All the Sand Ninja responded in unison. A group of ninjas stepped forward and stood in front of the formation, quickly forming hand seals and blowing forward at the same time.

"Wind Release: Kamaitachi!"

Sharp, knife-like tornadoes swept across the field repeatedly, like a sculpted terrain, relentlessly cutting through Hiruko's figure.

Meanwhile, more puppets set up mechanisms on the periphery, firing wildly and indiscriminately at the area, with various steel needles and feathered arrows raining down like a torrential downpour.

Hiruko kept moving, darting around the field, using the speed of Swift Release and the powerful perception of the Sharingan to dodge and weave through the many Wind Release attacks, as if dancing on the edge of a knife.

However, the enemy's numbers were too great, and their escape techniques seemed endless, leaving them with less and less room to hide.

When he had no way to dodge, he could only use Steel Release to blast away Wind Release and withstand the rain of arrows to gain more room to maneuver.

Scattered wind blades flew everywhere, cutting Hiruko's clothes to shreds and revealing his ugly face beneath the bandages.

Behind him, Xinyou was also covered in cuts from the wind blades, and her back was hit by many hidden weapons. However, Xinyou gritted her teeth and remained silent, afraid of disturbing Hiruko's attention.

The earth suddenly trembled, and a towering energy giant strode over from afar.

"Our primary target has arrived. Let's take care of this guy first!" A deep voice echoed from the shadows.

"No, sister, the killing move is only most effective the first time it's used. We must save it for the primary target," Ebizo muttered to himself.

"And did you notice the woman behind that man?"

"It seems this Uchiha is quite interested in her; perhaps we can use her as bait."

"Alright, your command has never been wrong, so let's do it your way." Granny Chiyo replied before falling silent again.

"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"

From afar, An controlled Susanoo to unleash a massive fire dragon at the Sand Ninja Army.

No matter how many ambushes you have prepared here, I just need to set them all on fire and burn them to the ground, and that will solve everything.

However, his information had already been leaked in detail by Konoha to Sunagakure, and Ebizo had prepared a whole host of contingency plans to deal with his attack methods.

"Plan Thirteen"

As an aged voice rang out, a group of ninjas stepped forward, quickly forming hand seals and simultaneously exhaling.

"Water Release: Water Tornado!"

With the combined attack, towering waves rose from the flat ground, transforming the area into a vast ocean, and rushed towards the fire escape technique.

Water and fire collided in mid-air, unleashing a deafening roar.

Under the scorching heat of the flames, a large amount of seawater evaporated instantly, forming a huge cloud of steam, which rapidly expanded into a mushroom-shaped gas cloud with a diameter of 100 meters, shooting straight into the sky.

The entire battlefield instantly became steaming hot, like clouds rising from the sky.

However, water and fire are mutually destructive and interact with each other. Under the dousing of a large amount of seawater, the raging fire also lost its violent power and gradually cooled down.

With the support of their respective chakra, the two forces canceled each other out and remained locked in a stalemate.

A bizarre balance formed in the center of the battlefield, with flames burning on the surface of the water and water surging within the flames.

The red and blue chakra intertwined, the fire couldn't evaporate the water, and the water couldn't extinguish the fire.

An snorted coldly, and the Mangekyou Sharingan on his shoulder spun rapidly. The dark clouds above the Grass Ninja Village were instantly stirred up as if by an invisible hand, rolling towards them.

A thunderclap resounded in the sky, and a lightning dragon emerged from the dark clouds, rushing towards the Sand Ninja.

"Plan Six".

Ebizo calmly issued his orders. With a flick of his wrinkled fingers, the Sand Ninja troops waiting behind him immediately changed formation.

Another group of ninjas leaped out, tossed the scrolls on their backs outwards, and rapidly activated the chakra threads at their fingertips.

With a series of loud "clicks and clacks," the scrolls unfurled in mid-air in an instant, spitting out a large number of puppet machines.

Controlled by a dense web of chakra threads, these puppet machines intertwined and formed a massive metal cage-like structure that fell to the ground in an instant.

With a loud "boom," the enormous metal cage crashed heavily onto the ground, sending up countless grains of sand and gravel.

The steel bars beneath the strange cage spun downwards, firmly rooting themselves in the earth and enveloping the Sand Ninja's position.

The next instant, the Thunder Dragon crashed into the metal cage, but a wave of chakra flashed by, and the lightning on the Thunder Dragon's body scattered, wandering along the surface of the metal cage. At each node it passed, a portion of the lightning was diverted, and finally it all fell into a strange spherical puppet on the ground.

The strange, round golem's surface was covered with greedy, swirling patterns, devouring lightning energy like a bottomless pit.
