38 Chap 38 - Uzushio vs Konoha. (1)

Flying at a height that made him totally undetectable, Ryuuji was watching Benihime lead Uzushio's army perfectly.

At the same time, he could also see how Orochimaru was finishing up organizing the Konoha camp.

Seeing Benihime's movement, Ryuuji smiled slightly.

" Looks like things are going to get interesting. "

…

" Father and Morgiana-chan…are you ready? "

Seeing the two nod their heads, Benihime started walking slowly towards the Konoha camp.

While jumping between the trees, Benihime confirmed all the information once again:

" Don't forget, while I'm going to deal with Orochimaru and the man Ryuuji asked me to pay attention to, you're going to attack the Sensor Ninjas with everything. We need to get they full attention on us. "

Ashina, who was excited to fight again after being rejuvenated by Ryuuji, just smiled at her daughter.

Morgiana, meanwhile, was so anxious that she couldn't stop the tiny electrical sparks from dancing around her toned body.

Benihime sensed a Konoha shinobi next to them, and without thinking twice, brought her left hand to the guard of her katana.

With a smooth movement, more like a dance, the red-haired woman decapitated the Konoha shinobi before he could even notice her presence.

" A scout. It looks like Konoha is finishing up camp. Let's speed up. "

" Yes! " x2

…

Being only a kilometer away from the Konoha camp, Benihime and his small group sped up to the max.

" Let's go! Remember your roles. "

Morgiana could finally let her will to fight explode out of her body and covered her body with her Lightning Cloak, but this time she went further.

Gradually, the blue electricity began to change color, until it became a crimson as deep as the color of human blood.

With her hair standing on end and her muscles tight, Morgiana disappeared.

A red trail appeared in the middle of Konoha's incomplete camp.

The first shinobi who noticed Morgiana's presence was a Jounin of the Inuzuka Clan, but he wasn't quick enough.

" What is it?! "

Morgiana's arm went through the Inuzuka Clan member's chest, but she didn't stop there.

Morgiana's body disappeared again and appeared behind a member of the Hyuuga Clan, who didn't even understand how he died.

" W-We're under attack!! Move! Move! "

Konoha's shinobi weren't vegetarian and quickly organized their positions to deal with the intruder, but in today's Ninja World, only Ryuuji could keep up with Morgiana's monstrous speed when she used her Lightning Cloak v2.

The red figure continued to glow through the Konoha camp, claiming the lives of the shinobi unhindered.

After Morgiana killed what was supposed to be ninja number thirty, Orochimaru appeared at the scene and quickly made a sequence of seals:

" Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall! "

Four earthen walls rose and limited Morgiana's movements.

Just when Orochimaru thought he had dealt with the invader, a golden chain sprouted from the ground behind him and nearly impaled his heart.

Orochimaru managed to move his body to the side, but the chain continued its course and impacted against one of the earthen walls, creating an opening large enough for Morgiana to escape and continue her rapid attacks.

Orochimaru widened his eyes and his torso back. The pale man could clearly see the way a sword blade had passed through where his neck had been earlier.

"Just like Ryuuji said, you really are hard to kill. "

Seeing Benihime almost killing they commander, a group of shinobi led by Kato Dan surrounded her, but they were attacked by a few more golden chains, as well as a man carrying two great swords.

" My daughter, leave these to me. "

" Don't forget not to let the blue haired man have room to use his secret jutsu. "

Ashina slightly shook her head and attacked Dan Kato, who widened his eyes upon hearing Benihime's words.

Orochimaru, who had regained his battle stance, also looked at Benihime with troubled eyes.

Benihime could feel how Morgiana was literally drawing all of Konoha's shinobi to her perimeter, so she decided not to waste too much time dealing with Orochimaru.

The red haired woman adjusted her balance point and bent her knees slightly.

Orochimaru felt his skin prickling and without thinking twice he pulled the Tanto that was on his back.

The sound of metal touching metal rang out in the venue, which made Benihime smile slightly.

" Oh? Did you manage to parry my first attack? You really are talented, just like Ryuu-kun said. Now I understand why he's so interested in you. "

Orochimaru, feeling a strong burning in the scar left on his face by Ryuuji, growled in anger and extended his arm towards Benihime.

" Hidden Shadow Snake Hands! "

Benihime moved her body instinctively and placed her hand on the guard of her katana.

The woman used Swift Release to accelerate her body and slash several times, destroying all the snakes Orochimaru threw towards her.

The Snake-Man didn't expect his attack to be effective, so before Benihime was done dealing with all the snakes, he was already attacking again.

A mutated body of Orochimaru slipped from the Original Orochimaru's mouth and flew towards Benihime while making Hand Seals.

As Orochimaru's alternate body approached Benihime, he puffed out his chest and spit out a strong current of air, with the force to destroy everything in front of him.

Benihime felt Orochimaru's attack coming towards her and as soon as she destroyed the last snake of the first attack, she turned her body and slashed with her blade from top to bottom, using Wind Release chakra to increase the cutting power to the extreme.

A blade of air shot out of Benihime's katana and cut the current of air that Orochimaru's alternate body sent towards her.

The original Orochimaru had already stepped forward and was behind Benihime with his lot, just inches from tearing the woman's skin.

Benihime covered her entire body with Swift Release chakra and disappeared from the spot, appearing behind Orochimaru with her hand on the guard of her katana.

Orochimaru's eyes widened and his mind worked as hard as he could to find a way to avoid Benihime's attack, but it was impossible.

The woman moved her body quickly and slashed with her Katana towards Orochimaru, creating a deep gash that crossed Orochimaru's entire back.

Orochimaru groaned in pain, but ignored the stinging sensation and adjusted his position, only to see how a large red barrier covered the perimeter where the Konoha army was.

Seeing this, Orochimaru widened his eyes.

Benihime smiled and sent chakra to the Red Devils' Seal in her hand.

" It was fun playing with you, Orochimaru, but now it's time for the real war to begin. "

Leaving those words, Benihime's body disappeared in a flash of red.

Orochimaru's instincts began to make the man feel despair.

" D-Defense! Use defensive techniques! Fast! Fast! "

When Orochimaru's words fell into the ears of the Konoha shinobi, they didn't take long to follow the man's orders. Unfortunately for them, that wouldn't be enough to stop what Uzushio had prepared for Konoha.

…

Mikoto looked at Benihime, who appeared in front of Uzushio's squad of two hundred shinobi who were inside the barrier.

" Benihime-oneesama…we'll attack, please retreat! "

Benihime lightly nodded her head and walked away from the front of the squad.

Mikoto closed her eyes and started sending a large amount of chakra into her eyes.

After Ryuuji upgraded her chakra capacity, her Three Tomoe Sharingan finally broke through the barrier and evolved into the Mangekyo Sharingan, which despite being something with a very short lifespan, was very powerful.

Mikoto raised her hand slightly and shouted:

" Shinobi with Fire Release mastery, attack as planned! "

Of the two hundred shinobi in Mikoto's squad, 120 stepped forward and started making Hand Seal sequels.

A few moments later, all sorts of Fire Jutsus were fired towards the Konoha camp, which was still too disorganized to defend against such an extensive attack.

Mikoto didn't take long to follow through with her plan. A trail of blood ran from his left eye.

" Amaterasu! "

A black flame covered the wave of fire created by the squad. As Amaterasu's flame engulfed the common flames, Mikoto ignored the pain in her eye and gave a new order.

" Shinobis with Wind Release mastery, now! "

Just like before, dozens of shinobi stepped forward and used various wind techniques, sending a stream of extremely condensed air towards the wave of black flames.

Mikoto ignored the pain and sent all her remaining chakra to her right eye.

" F-Fujin! "

Looking at the tsunami of black flames, Mikoto used her right eye's ability, creating a hurricane of wind blades nearly fifty feet high.

When the hurricane made contact with the tsunami of black flames, a black inferno of swirling immortal flames was born, literally evaporating everything in its wake with a simple touch.

Mikoto, seeing that her attack worked as it should, let exhaustion cover her entire body.

Before she could fall, Ryuuji appeared behind her and held her tightly.

" Very well, Mikoto-chan…now leave the rest to me. "

The beautiful black haired teenager smiled slightly and fainted in Ryuuji's arms.

Ryuuji and the Uzushio shinobi just watched the black flame hurricane destroy the Konoha camp and kill thousands of shinobi.

Ryuuji sent out a pulse of chakra, which acted as a signal to Kushina's squad.

The red haired girl quickly deactivated the barriers and rushed to Ryuuji's side.

Ryuuji waited for his army to reassemble and looked at the enemies that were a kilometer away, trying to recover from the joint attack made by Mikoto's squad.

As the violent black fire began to wane, Ryuuji teleported Mikoto to his room, letting the girl rest from the overload of using her Mangekyo to the limit.

Seeing that the time had come, the red-haired boy raised his arm and then lowered it, shouting loudly for his army to attack the shinobi who managed to survive the attack in the area.

" Attack! Attack! "

With a deafening scream, Uzushio's army, led by Ryuuji, surged forward.

…

Returning to the surface after hiding underground, Orochimaru didn't know what to think.

When the Konoha camp, which was not even complete, was attacked, he already knew something was wrong.

Looking around, Orochimaru, who was not yet a sociopathic madman craving immortality, felt a sharp pain in his chest.

Seeing the charred bodies of his companions, Orochimaru almost let his conscience leave him.

Even though he was totally numb from the strong emotions, Orochimaru knew he couldn't give up just yet.

" Don't despair! We can still fight and avenge the fallen!! "

The Konoha shinobi replaced sadness with hatred and followed Orochimaru's orders.
