Inside the Forest of Death, purple flames soared.
In just over ten seconds, a cube was formed, each side enveloped in purple flames, directly enclosing the entire battlefield.
Danzo stood outside the Four Violet Flames Formation, a sinister smile playing on his lips.
Looking at Uchiha Jin trapped within, he felt an immense sense of satisfaction.
"Uchiha Jin?!"
"I never thought your weakness would be your parents!"
"Though I can't understand why you haven't come to Root to rescue them for so long?"
"But, it doesn't matter anymore!"
His face was filled with disdain.
The moment Shisui and Itachi were transferred, he knew the plan had been leaked. He had originally thought the plan would be scrapped, but he never expected Uchiha Jin to still show up.
Therefore.
Even though there were many things he still couldn't understand, he had no time to ponder them now.
As long as Uchiha Jin died, nothing else mattered!
"Kill!"
As Danzo waved his hand, the Anbu and Root members within the barrier began forcing the Rōnin and Rogue Ninja to confront Uchiha Jin.
But, unfortunately.
The Rōnin and Rogue Ninja from various villages at the front were not fools; they sensed something was wrong almost instantly.
They were merely driven by money, and their mission was to deal with an ordinary Uchiha. But the problem was, seeing this setup, it was clear they were meant to be cannon fodder to wear down the opponent!
Could they even live to spend the money promised for someone so feared by a Konoha elder?
"I'm not earning this money!"
"Me too, let's go together!"
"Whoever wants this money can have it, I'm out!"
"..."
Many Rōnin and Rogue Ninja spoke up, one after another.
Clearly.
They weren't stupid; sensing something was amiss, they immediately prepared to flee.
And, to this.
The Root and Anbu personnel did not stop them; they merely watched these guys like idiots as they crashed into the Four Violet Flames Formation, then turned into large fireballs.
Screams, wails, roars... the faces of the many Rōnin and Rogue Ninja were grim, while the Anbu and Root watched the scene coldly.
At this moment.
Danzo spoke again!
"Your mission is to kill Uchiha Jin!"
"Only if the enemy before you dies will you gain true freedom, and a lifetime of endless money."
"Otherwise, you're dead!"
Along with Danzo's cold taunts, using both carrot and stick, the Rogue Ninja and Rōnin present finally focused their attention on Uchiha Jin.
Killing intent continuously gathered in their eyes.
And, to this.
Uchiha Jin narrowed his eyes slightly.
At this moment, he stood with his arms crossed, as if watching a farce, not even bothering to stop Danzo.
Now.
Seeing Danzo finally complete his killing trap, he twisted his neck and stretched his limbs.
"Do you—also want to dance?"
Uchiha Jin's tone was calm.
His calm eyes turned bloodthirsty and crazed, a sinister smile began to form on his lips, and then he charged directly at the crowd.
At this moment.
He completely tore off his gentle mask, as if he had returned to the battlefield of the Third Great Ninja War.
Heh, yes!
During the Third Great Ninja War, the Uchiha were often stabbed in the back by Danzo.
He didn't survive the Third Great Ninja War by luck.
At that time, no reputation spread because his methods were ruthless; anyone who saw him act died.
Including—his teammates!
"Kill!"
With all retreat cut off, the many Rōnin and Rogue Ninja, forced into a corner by the Four Violet Flames Formation and further incited by Danzo's promise of money, instantly erupted with towering fighting spirit.
Soon... the two sides clashed completely!
Almost, in an instant.
Uchiha Jin's figure transformed into a black lightning bolt. His Body Flicker Technique was used with unparalleled skill; any taijutsu struggled to hit him, and any Ninjutsu was easily dodged.
Bang!
Uchiha Jin swept his left arm, shattering the steel swords of three Rōnin, sending their bodies flying like broken sacks.
He slightly bent his knees and stomped hard, cracking the ground like a spiderweb, then casually kicked away a Rogue Ninja who was forming hand seals in front of him.
In a blink of an eye.
Over a dozen people lost their lives, without even touching the hem of his clothes.
Mangekyo? No need!
In his crimson eyes, three tomoe flickered back and forth. Although the scene seemed chaotic, everyone's moves and the flow of Chakra in their bodies could hardly escape his vision.
Uchiha Taijutsu was used with unparalleled mastery in his hands. He moved like a graceful butterfly, instantly killing over two hundred people in less than three minutes.
Throughout, he didn't use a single Ninjutsu, and the teams of Rōnin and Rogue Ninja brought by Danzo were already completely shattered by Uchiha Jin.
"Devil, he's a devil!"
"I don't want to fight him, everyone run!"
"..."
The remaining Rōnin and Rogue Ninja, their forced courage completely collapsed, started crying and screaming as they fled.
Some rushed towards the Four Violet Flames Formation and turned into fireballs, while others rushed towards the Root and Anbu camps, only to be instantly killed by Konoha's elites.
And, to this.
Uchiha Jin was full of disdain.
He didn't hesitate, charging directly towards the Anbu and Root... Meanwhile, on the other side.
Danzo was completely dumbfounded after seeing this scene.
His eyes were filled with shock, and he couldn't help but ask, "Torune, is Uchiha Jin really that strong?"
Yes.
He had originally intended to use these people to completely exhaust Uchiha Jin's ocular jutsu.
But, now?
The Rōnin and Rogue Ninja he paid for didn't even qualify to make Uchiha Jin activate his Mangekyo?
In an instant.
Danzo felt his scalp tingle, sensing the situation spiraling out of control!
And, to this.
Aburame Torune frowned slightly, but still respectfully spoke.
"Lord Danzo, I'm not entirely sure."
"Although Uchiha Jin participated in the Third Great Ninja War, no one has truly seen him fight. I didn't think much of it before, but after seeing this scene, I think..."
"It's highly likely that everyone who saw Uchiha Jin fight probably all died."
"This is the only possible outcome. Otherwise, someone as powerful as him couldn't have left no trace on the battlefield."
Yes.
In Aburame Torune's view, this was the only possibility.
It's important to remember that under normal circumstances, anyone fighting on the battlefield would leave behind legends.
Like Minato Namikaze's Yellow Flash, Fugaku's Fierce Eyes, Sakumo Hatake's White Fang of Konoha—these titles were all earned through their battles on the field.
Uchiha Jin was completely different!
He had no reputation, as if he were invisible. If he hadn't awakened his Mangekyo Sharingan, no one would have known Uchiha Jin's true strength.
Therefore, considering this, he could only guess that Uchiha Jin was deliberately hiding his true abilities.
Everyone who saw him fight probably all died!
"Damn it!"
"This Uchiha Jin is truly insidious."
"You all make your move too. Find a way to kill him!"
