Chapter 478 The Uchiha's Blazing Symphony
"Bang!!!"
A dull, loud bang.
The iron armor covering Liemen's body was dented in a clear arc by this blow.
He crashed into seven or eight large trees along the way, finally crashing heavily into the depths of the distant forest, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Huff... huff..."
Fugaku slowly retracted his right leg, his chest heaving violently.
The intense physical combat also took a huge toll on him.
"team leader!"
"Did you get it?"
The surrounding Uchiha clan members immediately gathered around, their expressions excited.
In their view, even a Kage-level expert would not be able to escape unscathed after taking such a heavy blow from the captain.
However, Fugaku Uchiha did not relax in the slightest.
His kaleidoscope remained fixed on the dust-filled forest.
"...It's not over yet!"
Just as Fugaku Uchiha was about to remind his clansmen to be on guard, a sharp, almost soul-tearing high-frequency friction sound suddenly erupted from the dead silence of the dense forest.
A sudden change has occurred!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"
Dozens of dark shadows tore through the rain, not shooting out in straight lines, but with bizarre, inhuman angles that defied the laws of physics, rushing towards the Uchiha formation from all directions.
"Be careful!"
With a sharp shout from Fugaku, he stepped forward like a ghost, blocking the way for all the clansmen.
Those scarlet, windmill-shaped eyes had already seen through the true forms of those dark figures.
That's a puppet.
A series of killing weapons with joints covered in rust and dried blood, and torsos engraved with ominous runes.
Their faces have no facial features, only cold crystals serving as eyes, exuding the emptiness and indifference unique to inanimate objects.
What sent chills down their spines were the dozen or so Sand Village ninjas who slowly emerged from the shadows of the forest following closely behind.
They wore a morbid smile, a mixture of fanaticism and cruelty, and their fingers trembled slightly at a nervous frequency.
Countless chakra threads, almost transparent in the rain, extended from their fingertips, connecting to the hideous puppets, like gods manipulating marionettes on a stage about to stage a bloody drama.
The war, in a completely new guise, erupted even more brutally after a brief respite.
They left the Uchiha clan no room to breathe.
The puppets that emerged from the shadows of the dense forest transformed into a chilling storm of death the moment they appeared.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Three puppets, resembling humans, were at the forefront and suddenly disintegrated while running at high speed.
Their bodies transformed into hundreds of rapidly spinning blades, accompanied by a shriek that cut through the air, forming three parallel tornadoes of blades powerful enough to instantly disintegrate flesh and blood, which lashed out madly toward the Uchiha's position.
"Earth Release·Earth Style Wall!"
Several Uchiha ninjas reacted with lightning speed, their hands pressing down on the slippery ground almost simultaneously.
Thick earthen walls, with dog-head reliefs carved on three sides, rose from the ground, accurately predicting and blocking the entire path of the blade storm.
However, this was merely the prelude to the carnage.
"From the heavens!"
A clansman who had awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan shouted sharply, his voice becoming shrill due to extreme vigilance.
Everyone looked up.
A puppet resembling a giant, ghostly spider had silently climbed onto the treetop, its eight segments, shimmering with an eerie green light, pointing downwards.
With a nauseating, eerie writhing motion in its abdomen, a massive net woven from thousands of dark green needles coated with deadly poison descended upon it! The poisoned needles, washed by the rain, refracted a deadly glint.
At the same time, a slightly unsettling tremor came from the ground.
Two long, steel-centipede-like puppets had burrowed into the ground and disappeared, and were rapidly approaching from underground, ready to deliver a fatal piercing blow.
This is a three-dimensional, all-encompassing saturation attack.
This is the puppet army that Sunagakure is famous for and that strikes fear into the hearts of the ninja world.
They may not possess the earth-shattering power of a Kage-level expert, but their bizarre, deadly, and ever-evolving attack methods are enough to drag any elite force into a nightmare of despair.
"Don't panic! Maintain formation!"
Fugaku Uchiha's voice was as steady as a mountain, clearly reaching the ears of every clan member amidst the intertwined killing intent.
He didn't move.
Or rather, his body did not move.
But in the world of those Mangekyou Sharingan, everything operates at a speed beyond reason.
Time is slowed down infinitely.
The trajectories of countless attacks, the flow of chakra threads, the interlocking patterns of the puppet's internal mechanisms, the locations and chakra states of his companions... all this information surged into his mind like a torrent.
Ultimately, those eerie, windmill-shaped eyes swiftly dispelled the illusions of this information, deduced the future, devised dozens of solutions, and selected the optimal one.
The next second, Fugaku Uchiha spoke, his speech was extremely fast, but his words were as clear as if carved by a knife.
"Fire, you to the left, I to the right, Dragon Fire Technique, purify the airspace!"
"Rice, balsam fire, plow the land three feet deep, roast the rats from underground!"
"You two, with your shuriken, disrupt the rhythm of those metal shards!"
"The rest of you, form hand seals, unleash a powerful fireball, and wait for my signal!"
A series of instructions were issued in less than a second, smoothly and without the slightest hesitation.
The Uchiha clan members under Fugaku Uchiha's command demonstrated an almost terrifying level of execution.
There were no doubts, no hesitations, and not even a moment's thought.
The moment Fugaku's voice fell, their bodies moved instinctively, like precise machine parts.
"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"
Two even more ferocious fire dragons roared and soared into the sky. Their target was not the poisonous web, but the spider puppet above it.
The flames precisely engulfed it, and the violent heat instantly melted the puppet into molten iron. The poison net that fell from the sky was also greatly weakened because it lost the control of the chakra threads. It was burned to ashes by the aftershocks of the dragon fire.
"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!"
Uchiha Inahi leaped into the air and spat out dozens of fireballs wrapped around her shuriken, which indiscriminately bombarded the ground like a shower of flowers.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Explosions continued one after another, and the flames and shockwaves completely plowed the ground.
Two dark figures were thrown out of the ground in a disheveled state during the explosion; they were the two centipede puppets.
Before they could launch their next attack, they were completely engulfed by their waiting companions with several powerful fireballs, twisting and disintegrating in the flames.
The hundreds of spinning blades were tightly restrained by the two Uchiha Jonin using their incredibly skillful throwing techniques.
Without even looking, relying solely on the perception of their Sharingan, the shuriken and kunai in their hands wove a web of death in the air. Each collision struck precisely the side of the spinning blade, altering its trajectory with minimal force, causing it to clang and pierce the surrounding tree trunks, none hitting its target.
Just one glance.
The first wave of three-dimensional offensive meticulously planned by the Sand Village puppet forces was completely thwarted by the elite members of the Konoha Police Force with an almost artistic level of perfect coordination.
