Chapter 63: The Dancing Uchiha Hikari
Kakuzu, who was already eighty-two years old, was a living fossil in the Ninja World where the average lifespan was only thirty years. He had experienced countless storms in his life and had seen every kind of scene.
The combination of the Uchiha Clan and the Uzumaki Clan?
Holy shit, he really hadn’t seen that before!
“What a ghost…” Kakuzu secretly stuck out his tongue.
This pair of scarlet Sharingan eyes, he absolutely wouldn’t mistake them!
When Kakuzu was still in Takigakure back then, he had fought against quite a few Konoha Ninjas and even assassinated the First Hokage Hashirama Senju.
Then he was beaten into critical condition by Hashirama and nearly lost his life.
Even after defecting from Takigakure and becoming a Bounty Hunter, the Uchiha Clan of Konoha was still the group of guys Kakuzu least wanted to provoke.
This group of red-eyed maniacs were famously known throughout the entire Ninja World as battle lunatics; only the Kaguya Clan of Kirigakure could match them in madness.
Any Uchiha who activated the Three-Tomoe Sharingan were all at Jonin level strength, and their combat power was among the absolute top tier among Jonin of various countries.
And then there was the Uzumaki Clan…
This unique red hair, absolutely unmistakable!
It was said that the Uzumaki Clan had been exterminated seventeen years ago, and no one knew where the leader had found this woman.
Even stranger, wasn’t the Uchiha Clan staying in Konohagakure? How could their bloodline be wandering outside?
Moreover, he had never heard of these two people’s names before…
Having roamed the Ninja World for many years as a frequent visitor to the Bounty Exchange, Kakuzu was somewhat baffled.
“Oh, hello you two, I’m Kado, a merchant who doesn’t fight, responsible for raising funds for the organization.” Kado rubbed his hands and came forward, his posture humble.
He invited the two into the center of the camp, not underestimating them just because they were women.
“I’m Kakuzu.” Although Kakuzu felt some dread in his heart toward this combination, his mouth was still tough: “Hmph, your actions were too slow. The leader even said you would resolve Hoshigakure ahead of time.”
“Sorry, we came from the Land of Water and were delayed a bit.” After Uzumaki Kushina sat down with Little Karin in front of the campfire in the center of the camp, she smiled and turned her head: “But it’s just one Hoshigakure, it can be resolved very quickly.”
Uchiha Hikari directly interrupted the conversation and asked Kado: “Location.”
Her tone was cold and carried an unquestionable authority, just like that lord’s, making Kado’s back chill as he hurriedly took out a map scroll and gave it to her.
“I’ll go resolve it.” Uchiha Hikari took the map scroll, opened it for a glance, confirmed the coordinates of Hoshigakure, and then Body Flickered away.
“I’ll go watch the excitement too.” Kakuzu left an interested remark and also vanished into the night.
In the camp, only Kado and Uzumaki Kushina’s mother-daughter pair remained.
This made Kado somewhat restrained, and he hurriedly rummaged through the goods to pull out some toys for Little Karin to play with.
Meanwhile, Uzumaki Kushina took out a scroll recording the Uzumaki Clan’s Secret Techniques and continued studying it.
Uchiha Hikari, speeding along, noticed Kakuzu following behind her.
Gradually, Kakuzu caught up to Uchiha Hikari and advanced parallel with her.
“Don’t look at me like that.” Kakuzu chuckled with a tsk, his cyan pupils looking at Uchiha Hikari as he explained: “I’m just going to Hoshigakure to catch a decently strong Ninja to supplement my Secret Technique.”
“Don’t expect me to help you with anything else.”
Kakuzu was actually quite interested in the Uchiha Clan. If it weren’t because the other party had no bounty and was a member of the organization, Kakuzu’s desire for money might have already been stirred.
A pair of Sharingan eyes could fetch quite a bit on the black market.
“Just don’t get in my way.” Uchiha Hikari coldly snorted and sped up.
“Hmph hmph.” Kakuzu also accelerated to keep up.
——————
Hoshigakure was located in the eastern part of the Land of Bears, bordering the Land of Earth, Land of Birds, and Land of Wind.
It was surrounded by a Hell Valley filled with poisonous gas, which also isolated attacks from these three countries in three directions.
Precisely because of the Hell Valley Chasm, many Ninja Villages coveting the Meteorite could not invade Hoshigakure, bringing Hoshigakure two hundred years of relatively peaceful development.
But the Meteorite was like it had radiation, eroding the bodies of those who cultivated more and more. Over two hundred years, everyone who practiced the Peacock Myōhō had met a tragic end!
When Uchiha Hikari stood at the village entrance gate of Hoshigakure, the sky had already darkened, her Sharingan reflecting the sparsely lit houses.
Kakuzu also stood by with arms crossed, looking at Uchiha Hikari beside him, wanting to see what tactics she would use.
But he saw Uchiha Hikari directly charge into Hoshigakure.
“Decapitation tactics?” Kakuzu roughly guessed.
For such a small Ninja Village, the strongest combat power was no more than a few Elite Ninjas including the leader; the rest were mostly Chunin and Genin, not a threat.
As long as the leader of the Ninja Village was controlled, half of the village was under control.
Sure enough, not long after, explosion sounds tore through the night!
Thick smoke billowed from the Hoshigakure center.
Kakuzu also went up to watch the excitement.
When he arrived at the Hoshigakure center, he saw that the so-called Star Shadow Building, this wooden structure only three or four stories high, had been mostly destroyed, with the remnants burning with raging flames.
From the ruins, the Third Star Shadow crawled out wretchedly, his right shoulder wound exposing bone.
Looking at the figure slowly walking out from the firelight, the Third Star Shadow widened his eyes and demanded: “Who the hell are you!”
“Are you here to rob the ‘star’!” The Third Star Shadow, with his two mustache tufts, said in a trembling voice.
“With your strength, you’re worthy of being called Shadow?” Uchiha Hikari walked out from the firelight of the ruins, looking at the Star Shadow hat on the little old man in front of her, finding it somewhat ridiculous.
When she heard Hoshigakure had a Shadow, she thought it would be a tricky opponent.
But with one Fire Release Ninjutsu, she blew up the so-called Star Shadow Building, and this Third Star Shadow was also severely injured.
This left Uchiha Hikari completely uninterested.
“Lord Star Shadow!” At this moment, dozens of Hoshigakure Ninjas rushed over from the surroundings.
The radical faction led by Akaboshi and the Star Shadow’s Anbu Ninjas, some wearing headbands with star patterns, others with animal masks, looked at the girl in the Star Shadow Building’s firelight like facing a great enemy!
They had no idea how the enemy crossed Hell Valley or entered Hoshigakure’s range!
“Attack! She’s just one person! Kill her!” Akaboshi shouted loudly, hands forming hand seals, beginning to activate the ‘Peacock Myōhō’!
Countless pale purple Chakra surged out from Akaboshi’s body, condensing into a pale purple Chakra dragon behind him, charging toward the enemy on the ground.
The other Star Ninjas also formed hand seals one after another, using their cultivated Peacock Myōhō.
In an instant, these Star Ninjas’ Chakra coalesced into tigers, eagles, bears, leopards, and other animal forms, launching attacks from all directions on this intruder!
“Come at me all together!” Uchiha Hikari lightly shouted, charging toward Akaboshi who had the loudest voice.
Akaboshi’s face changed drastically, manipulating the Chakra dragon solidified by Peacock Myōhō to rush toward Uchiha Hikari.
“Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame!” The girl’s hands flew through seals, blazing fire waves surging from her mouth.
Raging inferno met Akaboshi’s Peacock Myōhō head-on!
The two Ninjutsu collided in mid-air, erupting in a massive explosion.
Akaboshi’s Chakra dragon was directly crushed and devoured, countless flames shooting toward him!
But faster than these flames was a youthful figure.
While Akaboshi stared in stunned disbelief, Uchiha Hikari had already burst through the flames, one hand grabbing Akaboshi’s head.
She slammed down fiercely!
Boom!
Akaboshi’s face hit the ground first, his whole body smashed into the earth, causing a loud rumble as dirt and stone exploded!
A Chakra tiger pounced, Uchiha Hikari tilted her head to dodge the claws, then followed up along the Chakra, punching the Star Ninja’s jaw and sending him flying several meters high!
Before the opponent could land, Uchiha Hikari continued darting left and right among the Star Ninjas, her eye sockets housing a pair of scarlet Sharingan spinning rapidly, clearly capturing every Star Ninja’s movements.
She shuttled through the enemy formation like a ghost, bones cracking explosively wherever her fists and feet landed.
Using only Taijutsu, she beat the group of Star Ninjas into chaos!
In a flash, the elites were routed!
Kakuzu stood on a treetop, watching Uchiha Hikari dancing on the battlefield, and let out a sigh of admiration: “As expected of the Uchiha Clan.”
