Chapter 47: Slaughter and Entrapment

Just as the Four-Tails Son Goku began to condense a Tailed Beast Bomb and before Orochimaru summoned the Triple Rashomon, Uchiha Feiyu himself turned into a streak of lightning and charged down the hillside.

Well, it wasn't that he didn't trust Orochimaru, it was just that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall; the feeling of watching that kind of giant bomb fly over his own head was truly terrifying.

Orochimaru, seeing Uchiha Feiyu vanish in a flash, merely twitched the corner of his mouth, finally shook his head, and reached out to perform a Seal.

A rumbling sound erupted suddenly, and as the Four-Tails in the distance roared while condensing another Tailed Beast Bomb, a massive purple python surged straight up from the ground and bit down on the Four-Tails' octopus-like tail.

Long before the battle, Orochimaru had already summoned Manda and had it hide secretly underground; upon sensing the Four-Tails' chakra, this cunning giant snake tunneled directly beneath the Four-Tails and dealt the Great Ape a heavy blow.

Setting aside the battle between Orochimaru and the Four-Tails jinchuriki, after Uchiha Feiyu charged into the fray below, he stopped using Lightning Release chakra altogether, instead using the Camouflage Concealment Technique to erase his form, and then used the Light-Weight Rock Technique to eliminate the sound of his footsteps.

He didn't use Lightning Release chakra not only because of the faint crackling sound of electricity, but also because the effect of the Camouflage Concealment Technique would drop significantly when Uchiha Feiyu used the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

Moreover, the Light-Weight Rock Technique could greatly reduce his own gravity, and combined with the Camouflage Concealment Technique wrapped in Wind Release, it also had a certain function of eliminating air resistance, still allowing him to maintain seventy to eighty percent of his maximum speed.

On the chaotic battlefield, many Rock Ninja had fountains of blood spray from their necks without ever seeing any enemy, dying with their eyes wide open in disbelief.

This hair-raising and inexplicable scene repeated constantly; in just a few minutes, dozens of Rock Ninja had died without knowing why.

While maintaining seventy to eighty percent of his speed, he had also erased all his images and sounds, and even his scent had become faint and elusive due to the wind-attribute chakra wrapped around his body; Uchiha Feiyu was now completely an invisible, high-speed ghost.

Ninjas without a certain level of sensory ability didn't even know what was happening before their throats were slit.

The bizarre situation not only killed a large number of Rock Ninja, but also caused the Rock Ninja's morale to plummet. The invisible and untraceable mysterious killer made almost every Rock Ninja feel that their own lives were in danger.

Both of Uchiha Feiyu's ninjutsu were learned from the Rock Ninja; however, after fusing them with the Wind Release from the White Fang of the Leaf's sword techniques, the effect of the Camouflage Concealment Technique was greatly enhanced, allowing him to remain invisible even while moving at high speed, and the Light-Weight Rock Technique was the perfect match for this new type of camouflage, leaving the Rock Ninja completely helpless against it.

"Sensory ninja! Are there any sensory ninjas?! Quickly find this invisible guy, ugh!"

"No, it's no use... the speed is too fast, even if I sense him, I can't lock onto him at all!"

"Use area-of-effect ninjutsu! Even if there's friendly fire, we can't let him continue to run rampant on the battlefield!"

"It's no use... the area-of-effect ninjutsu can't keep up either... the opponent's speed is simply too fast, urgh!"

Following Uchiha Feiyu's invisible assassinations, the death toll of the Rock Ninja continued to rise rapidly; this guy was ruthless, specifically slitting throats, and was also very shameless, specifically picking on the weak among the Rock Ninja, killing only those at the Chunin and Genin levels.

These ninjas couldn't even withstand one or two moves if they fought Uchiha Feiyu head-on, let alone Uchiha Feiyu's sneak attacks while invisible.

As for those Rock Ninja experts who looked strong, Uchiha Feiyu had no intention of making a move against them; setting aside whether these Jonin had any trump cards, their battle-hardened experience alone was enough to sense killing intent and entangle Uchiha Feiyu for a while.

As long as he got entangled, he might encounter danger; a person as protective of his own life as Uchiha Feiyu would never go after those hard nuts to crack. Of course, he would pick the soft persimmons to squeeze first.

However, after killing another hundred people, the Rock Ninja finally couldn't hold back anymore; Huangtu, who had been fighting Akimichi Torifu, forced himself to take a few hits until he coughed up blood, broke free from Akimichi Torifu's entanglement, and without a word, began to perform Seals, finally slamming a fist down in the general direction of Uchiha Feiyu:

"Earth Style: Earth Flow!"

The ground shattered into countless fine sand, which then eroded forward like a tidal wave; this move covered almost everyone within a range of several thousand meters, though its power was mediocre, much like a street thug throwing sand into someone's eyes.

However, Huangtu didn't use this move to kill; after a burst of fine sand and dust, a hazy figure was revealed in the air; the large amount of dust interfered with the imaging of the Camouflage Concealment Technique, finally revealing Uchiha Feiyu's outline.

"It really is you, the successor of the White Fang of the Leaf, you Uchiha brat!"

Uchiha Feiyu rolled his eyes and spoke lazily:

"The intelligence of Iwagakure is really good; you dug up my background so quickly, you even discovered that I'm an Uchiha!"

As for whether this information was leaked by someone on the inside, that was hard to say; this kind of thing was a messy account, and Uchiha Feiyu just made a mental note of it first.

"How could the White Fang of the Leaf have a successor like you? You actually specifically target ordinary ninjas; have you not inherited even a shred of the White Fang's sense of honor?"

Facing Huangtu's harmless verbal accusations, Uchiha Feiyu felt no pressure and even wanted to laugh:

"Yeah, yeah, that's why that honorable White Fang of the Leaf died, right! (White Fang's Soul: Please stop talking) The facts prove that in this world, it's better for thick-skinned people to live!"

"Besides, I'm just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, and the ninjas I've killed are all much older than me; instead of complaining that I'm strong and bullying the weak, you should ask why you Rock Ninja have lived to such an old age in vain—at such an age, you're still just Genin and Chunin?"

After a round of sharp-tongued remarks, Huangtu, who had intended to provoke him, was instead angered to the point of turning red in the face by Uchiha Feiyu; however, at that very moment, massive rock barriers suddenly rose up dozens of meters around Uchiha Feiyu.

"Brat, in this world, being strong doesn't necessarily mean you'll win; let me teach you a lesson: in your next life, it's best not to chatter too much with the enemy on the battlefield!"

Huangtu's face emerged from the rock wall, and then his whole body stepped out, a smile on his face; clearly, his words just now were merely to stall for time.
