Chapter 18: Sealing Uzumaki Hanado

Touching the bead in his arms, Uchiha Gin remembered Uzumaki Mito's words.

"The sealing technique of this bead can only be released at close range, and only when the other party lets down their guard."

Uzumaki Mito, with her cute buns, puffed out her cheeks to instruct Uchiha Gin.

"Your brother is such a strong taijutsu ninja. If I get close to him like this, I'll probably be slapped to death halfway before I even get close to him."

Uchiha Gin, who took the bead, said dejectedly.

"Stupid, can't you use your brain? Who told you that you must fight him head-on."

Uzumaki Mito said, hating that iron wouldn't become steel.

"Then I can only act according to the situation."

Uchiha Gin, who hadn't made up his mind, put the bead close to his body and bid farewell to the worried Uzumaki Mito.

The memory came to an abrupt end.

Looking at Uzumaki Hanado, who was emitting red chakra aura opposite him, Uchiha Gin could only sigh in his heart. He had to fight hard.

He took the first step and walked toward Uzumaki Hanado. Seeing Uchiha Gin approaching him boldly, Uzumaki Hanado said vigilantly,

"What are you doing?!"

The giant Great Fireball just now had left him with no small shadow, and he was afraid the other party would give him another one.

Hearing the other party's scolding, Uchiha Gin stuck the katana he was carrying into the ground, then raised both hands to show he had no malice.

This scene, on the contrary, confused Uzumaki Hanado. He thought the other party would fight him to the death, but it seemed the situation was far from what he had imagined.

"Is the young clan leader of the Uzumaki clan afraid of an ordinary Uchiha like me?"

Uchiha Gin, with his hands raised, said calmly, his words full of provocation.

"I'll be afraid of you? Ridiculous!"

Uzumaki Hanado, easily stimulated by the provocation, immediately flashed in front of Uchiha Gin and looked down at him.

Uchiha Gin was over 1.8 meters tall, which was considered "a head taller" in the Uchiha clan, but in front of Uzumaki Hanado, who was over 2 meters tall, he still seemed a bit petite.

At close range, Uchiha Gin examined this young clan leader of the Uzumaki clan carefully for the first time. The 18 or 19-year-old boy had a delicate face, but was paired with a Schwarzenegger-like body. The strong contrast made people feel a sense of darkness before their eyes.

Not caring about Uchiha Gin's strange expression, Uzumaki Hanado spoke first,

"Despicable Uchiha, where did you hide my sister? Tell me now. As long as you ensure my sister is unharmed, I can consider sparing your life."

The tyrannical Uzumaki Hanado didn't have much vigilance against the weak. After all, in his view, even Uchiha Gin, who had opened the two tomoe, was just a toy he could manipulate at will.

The giant Great Fireball just now should have been released by the other party squeezing his own life force. This kind of means was somewhat similar to their clan.

Holding this question, Uzumaki Hanado didn't immediately make a move to break Uchiha Gin's limbs, but chose to stand and chat with him.

"As long as the young clan leader is willing to let us go, I guarantee your sister won't lose a single hair."

Uchiha Gin behaved very obediently.

"Just letting you go alone is already my limit. Don't think about bargaining with me."

Uchiha Gin might be a descendant of their Uzumaki clan. Even if he was "tainted" by the Uchiha bloodline, he had to be brought back to the clan to wait for his father's disposal.

A trace of struggle flashed across Uchiha Gin's face, as if he were struggling with something, and finally, as if he had figured it out, he said,

"Alright then, please ensure the young clan leader won't hurt me, and I will immediately take you to meet your sister."

"You are sensible."

Hearing the answer he wanted, Uzumaki Hanado held his head high, his proud head seeming to show his pride to the world.

"Then it's a deal."

Saying that, Uchiha Gin extended a clenched fist.

"What do you mean?"

Uzumaki Hanado frowned and said.

"Fist bump, I learned this from the countries in the north. It means the two have reached an agreement."

Uchiha Gin held his fist, saying seriously.

"What a strange custom."

Although it was very strange, the conceited Uzumaki Hanado still extended his sandbag-sized fist and bumped it lightly.

The moment the two fists touched, a look of success flashed on Uchiha Gin's serious face.

Seeing the other party reveal such an expression, Uzumaki Hanado felt a tightness in his heart. Just as he was preparing to use his super perception, the chakra in his whole body fell into stagnation, like dead water.

At the same time, he felt a strong suction force coming from the fist he extended, as if a black hole was locking him firmly.

Looking closely, Uchiha Gin's fist was already open, and a familiar bead was lying quietly on it. At this moment, several black shadows stretched out from the bead, tightly wrapping his hand, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free.

"Four Symbols Sealing Bead! How could this thing be in your hands."

Uzumaki Hanado shouted in surprise. His father had only made one such bead and gave it to Uzumaki Mito for self-defense.

A Four Symbols Sealing Technique was written inside the bead. Using this bead would seal the enemy inside the bead, and only Uzumaki Ashina could undo the seal.

Without answering the other party's questioning, Uchiha Gin tried his best to urge his chakra, controlling the black shadows stretched out by the bead to wrap Uzumaki Hanado, who was unable to move, layer by layer.

Until he was completely trapped in a black shadow, then the bead in his hand produced a powerful suction force, twisting and rotating the two-meter-tall Uzumaki Hanado and slowly sucking him in.

As the last trace of black shadow was sucked into the bead, Uchiha Gin let out a sigh of relief and sat on the grass.

Panting heavily, he looked at the trembling black-and-red bead in his hand and sighed,

"Sealing technique is worthy of being the most mysterious skill in the original work, too terrifying."

If the Uzumaki clan hadn't been destroyed, relying on sealing techniques alone, they would have been unstoppable. Unfortunately, they were inexplicably killed by AB's plot.

"Ding! Uzumaki Hanado has been defeated, mission: Save the Uchiha Fenghuo squad in a desperate situation, completion rate 80%."

The system's prompt was so pleasant for the first time.

Simply tidying up his equipment, Uchiha Gin, relying on the Uzumaki physique, had already recovered more than half of his chakra.

Now only the battle of Uchiha Liang Yi and the others hadn't ended, but before that, he had to see someone first.

In a cave a few miles away, Senju Itama, who had been stuffed with a smelly sock, slowly woke up.

Not seeing the hateful Uchiha clan, but seeing a bun-haired girl sitting there in a daze, a light of hope burst into his eyes.

Ignoring the foul-smelling sourness in his mouth, he tried hard to make a humming sound.

"Hmm hmm... ah."

The peculiar sound instantly disrupted the girl's thinking. She turned to look at the kid who had been tied up by the Uchiha human trafficker all along.

"Aba aba..."

Seeing the girl notice him, Senju Itama twisted his body even more vigorously, and the humming in his mouth became louder.

Seeing Senju Itama's appearance, Uzumaki Mito thought for a while and then asked.

"Do you have something to say to me?"

Senju Itama, who got a response, nodded frantically, and the clean-loving girl felt a bit disgusted. She stood up and searched for a long time before finding a branch.

After picking it up, she poked at the sock in the kid's mouth, but it was too smelly, so Uzumaki Mito had to pinch her delicate little nose with one hand.

But because she was hiding too far away, the sock not only wasn't picked out, but instead, it backfired, being pushed a long way into the depths by the girl's brute force.

Feeling that the sock not only didn't come out, but was about to be pushed to his throat, Senju Itama shook his head in pain.

Uzumaki Mito, afraid of dirtying her eyes, turned her head to one side, completely ignoring the kid who had been poked until his eyes rolled back, still poking hard with the branch.

"Hey hey hey, what kind of strange play is this? If you keep poking, this kid will really die."
