Chapter 465

After shattering the black-robed person's sternum with a light palm, Otsutsuki Yueji, whose desire to win had exploded, immediately revealed a smug expression.

I wondered what kind of opponent it was; just a clay chicken and pottery dog, so vulnerable.

She narrowed her pure white eyes, and the provocative information she transmitted made Uchiha Hikari, who was dodging the wooden dragon's attack not far away, tremble all over with anger.

This white-eyed woman is simply too hateful!

"Roar!"

The wooden dragon seized the moment Uchiha Hikari was distracted, its hideous big mouth opened fiercely, and the crisscrossing sharp teeth pierced down. The girl's delicate body was swaying like duckweed in the rain.

However, facing the murderous wooden dragon, the black-haired girl didn't reveal a trace of timidity. After glaring back at the smug Otsutsuki Yueji, the three tomoe in her eyes quickly merged, turning into a bewitching and complex pattern.

"Amaterasu!"

Uchiha Hikari raised her head, starting with zero frames without any warning. The majestic pupil power in her eyes turned into scorching black flames, instantly swallowing the giant wooden dragon.

"Crackle... crackle..."

The wooden dragon, which had been arrogant just a moment ago, didn't even have a chance to struggle, turning into black ashes and passing away with the wind in the blink of an eye.

However, the black flames didn't extinguish just like that. Amaterasu, known for burning everything, turned into a winding fire snake, climbing on the golden sand dunes.

"Die."

Uchiha Hikari, who performed Kagutsuchi, had a crazy look in her eyes, manipulating Amaterasu to bite toward the Number Three black-robed person who was maintaining a seal-forming posture.

Facing Uchiha Hikari's counterattack, the black-robed person, who saw the terrifying destructive power of Amaterasu, didn't choose to fight head-on. He kicked his legs and flashed away, flexibly using his movement technique to dodge the attack of the black flame snake.

"Where are you running!"

How could Uchiha Hikari give up? Her scarlet eyes stared fixedly at the black-robed person's movement trajectory, and the black flames followed like a shadow.

And under her precise operation, the huge black snake began to split, encircling and suppressing him from all directions.

"..."

Number Three twisted his body to dodge, but the girl's operation of Kagutsuchi was too proficient, and in the end, he still had an arm entangled by a black flame.

Fortunately, he was quick-eyed and fast-handed. Just as the black flame was about to stain his skin, he pulled off the black cloak he was wearing on his upper body first.

Before the cloak even landed, it turned into black ash and scattered.

"Uh..."

The true face of the black-robed person was finally exposed to everyone's field of vision. The girl manipulating Amaterasu narrowed her eyes, and the fire snake also stagnated.

"It really is Senju Hashirama?"

Looking at the familiar face of the black-robed person, her delicate brows furrowed slightly.

"I didn't expect that in this era, there would already be such advanced cloning technology."

This exposed black-robed person, except for the skin carrying an unhealthy paleness, was exactly the same as the missing Hashirama Laodi.

Uchiha Gin also widened his eyes in surprise, looking at the three cross-era products in front of him, his confusion reaching its peak.

Not only did they perfectly inherit all the values of the original body, but they also came with other hidden functions.

Even Senju Tobirama wouldn't dare guarantee that he could clone a work of this level.

Could it be that the mastermind had the help of aliens? Otherwise, how could they unlock such super-model genetic engineering technology in advance?

"No, since it's a perfect replica of Hashirama Laodi, then..."

Looking at the clone that was no different from Senju Hashirama, Uchiha Gin hammered his palm fiercely and hurriedly turned his head to shout at Otsutsuki Yueji on the side.

"Yueji, be careful, he's not dead."

"Huh?"

Yueji, who thought she had killed the enemy in seconds, was preparing to go to Uchiha Gin's side to perform the cliché drama of a beauty saving a hero.

After hearing the reminder, she turned her head in confusion, and the scene before her made her pupils shake slightly.

"Really not dead?"

The corpse, which had just had its sternum shattered by a Divine Air Strike and had less than one-tenth of its life force left, actually stood up again, full of vitality.

Not only that, the fatal collapse on its chest was also recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

By the time the ravine on its chest was filled with fresh granulation, the black-robed person simply reached out and tore off the damaged cloak, revealing the face that was no different from Senju Hashirama's.

"Since it's a clone of Hashirama Laodi, it must have inherited his terrifying self-healing Sage Body. As long as the injury isn't too fatal, it basically recovers after a while."

What is Senju Hashirama made of? How could Uchiha Gin not know?

The number one person below the Six Paths!

Even the cousin who opened the Rinnegan might not be able to resist Senju Hashirama at full firepower.

In the original work, when the Reanimated vegetative person was summoned, his strength wasn't at the peak state of his lifetime.

Even so, he could steadily suppress the perfect Reanimated Uchiha Madara.

And in this timeline of Uchiha Gin, the reason why Hashirama Laodi was surpassed by his cousin was entirely due to the theft of Asura's reincarnated Chakra.

With his foundation damaged, Senju Hashirama's strength could no longer return to its peak.

Unless he burned his life, he was definitely no match for his cousin, who had muddled his way into gathering the power of all things.

"It was clearly possible to avoid death by lying there, why did you have to stand up?"

The black-robed person who suddenly returned to full health made Otsutsuki Yueji feel very embarrassed. Recalling her mockery of Uchiha Hikari just now, it was as if a slap had landed on her face, making her pretty face turn slightly red with anger.

"Divine Air Strike!"

Yueji, who was embarrassed and angry, attacked in anger. The invisible palm wind scraped out a harsh sonic boom, stirring up rolling yellow sand and attacking Number Four again.

"Wood Release: Wood Locking Wall."

Number Four had suffered a loss once, so the moment Yueji raised her hand, he reacted as if he had predicted it. Rows of wooden stakes broke out of the ground, bending into an arched wall and wrapping him tightly.

"Slap!"

The palm wind swept past, stirring up countless wood chips. The thick wooden wall was torn away by more than half by Yueji's attack. Number Four, who was hunched over inside, looked at the severely damaged wooden wall with lingering fear.

"Die!"

Before he could finish being surprised, Yueji, whose body was emitting blue-green Chakra, had already arrived. Raising her hand, she performed the ancient fist technique passed down by the Otsutsuki clan for thousands of years.

"Ha!"

Facing Yueji's sharp killing move, Number Four had no choice but to set up his hands to defend, and his burly body was beaten back repeatedly, falling into a disadvantage for a time.

Seeing the sister-in-law's performance, Uchiha Gin nodded with satisfaction. The girl was worthy of being the number one Baturu of the moon.

Looking at Hikari's side, she had already entangled with the clone of Senju Hashirama again. The girl who used the Mangekyo divine power could already steadily suppress the opponent.

If the clones couldn't bring out anything else, failure would only be a matter of time.

But after all, they were clones of Hashirama Laodi; it wasn't impossible for them to have one or two trump cards hidden.

Uchiha Gin shook his head secretly, his gaze falling on the black-robed person not far from him, and he discovered that the opponent had no intention of helping at all, and his eyes were always fixed on him, which made him feel quite surprised.

"You don't seem to be worried about your teammates."

"We are very strong."

Hearing Uchiha Gin's voice, Number One spoke slowly. At the same time, his black gaze swept over him.

"You should worry about yourself."

"You're quite polite; this point is truly inherited from Hashirama Laodi."

Not expecting this black-robed person to be able to communicate with him, Uchiha Gin nodded with a strange expression.

"I thought you were a machine~"

He originally thought these black-robed people were just simple biological weapons, without a bit of emotion, but it turned out the opponent was quite human.

"Machine?"

Hearing this word, Number One's expressionless face twitched slightly, and his stiff brain began to operate slowly. In those dull eyes, a trace of human-like brilliance actually began to appear.

"I am not a machine!"

Number One raised his head abruptly and took the initiative to lift the cloak covering his head, revealing the familiar face Uchiha Gin expected, but the expression was a bit more terrifyingly distorted compared to the other two.

"I... I want to become a human, a complete human, so..."

"Huh?"

Looking at the black-robed person who suddenly lost control of his emotions, Uchiha Gin, who only felt it was inexplicable, scratched his head in confusion.

He had just praised him, why did the opponent get anxious? He was sincere.

"... Give me the fruit!"

Accompanied by a low roar like a beast, Number One's figure instantly disappeared from where he was.

Not good! Gin is in danger!

The two women who were entangled with their respective opponents saw this situation, their hearts tightened together, their pretty faces full of worry, and the force in their hands also increased, beating the two clones until they were miserable.

"Ha~"

But Uchiha Gin, who was the person involved, was still his usual lazy and dull self, and even had the heart to stretch.

"Haven't moved for a long time, feel like I'm almost rusting."

Facing Number One, who might attack him from any direction, he reached out to the ninja tool bag behind his waist very casually and took out a gray driver from it.

"Whoosh!"

Before he could buckle the driver onto his waist, a harsh sound of breaking wind suddenly rang out.

Number One's sand-pot-sized fist fell from above. A punch wrapped in super strength was enough to smash an ordinary Jonin into meat paste.

"Gin, be careful!"

"Really impatient."

Uchiha Gin curled his lips, retreating a step seemingly casually, and actually dodged Number One's thunderous blow by a hair's breadth.

"Boom!"

The fist instantly sank into the soft sand. Under the impact of super strength, the power that couldn't be fully vented gave birth to a huge explosion, and yellow sand splashed everywhere.

Uchiha Gin, who had foreseen it, tapped his toes and retreated several meters to dodge the sand and gravel that rose into the sky.

"Really can't be praised. I just said you were as polite as Hashirama Laodi, and in the blink of an eye, you became like this."

Shaking his head with a regretful face, Uchiha Gin successfully buckled the driver onto his waist.

Click—

"Eh? Is that human who looks a bit annoying also a Tailed Beast Knight?"

Jigen, who was peeping from afar, blinked in confusion. In the intelligence he collected, there was no such person as Uchiha Gin, and a bit of curiosity couldn't help but arise in his heart.

Uchiha Gin's half-squinted eyes lit up with obscure red light, and a complex triangular pattern flashed across his eyes.

An inexplicable aura erupted from his whole body, and his every move was extraordinary.

"Wangliang, combine!"

Number One, who broke through the yellow sand, just poked his head out and saw Uchiha Gin strike a handsome transformation pose. A sense of vigilance immediately arose in his heart, and he immediately set up a blocking starting stance, using the unchanging to respond to the changing.

If soldiers come, stomp; if water comes, also stomp.

"Quack~ quack~"

As a result, nearly a minute passed like this. A crow passing by in the sky couldn't stand it anymore and issued a harsh mocking sound toward the two who were stuck and motionless.

Uchiha Gin, who had posed until his hands and feet were stiff, frowned slightly.

At such a critical moment of pretending, why wasn't Big Sister Wangliang giving him strength?

"That... can you wait a moment? I want to ask something."

Putting down his somewhat stiff arms, Uchiha Gin said to Number One, who was in a defensive posture, with a sincere expression.

"Don't take too long, I'm in a hurry."

Not expecting Uchiha Gin to actually speak to him in a negotiating tone, Number One nodded unexpectedly after a brief moment of confusion.

For some reason, he liked this feeling of being treated as a human.

"Big Sister Wangliang~ stop sleeping, time to go back to work!"

Uchiha Gin, who had won a pause, hurriedly dived into the Realm of Shadows and began to call for his important transformation prop in the black-and-white world.

"Big Sister Wangliang, where are you?"

"Big Sister Wangliang..."

However, even though Uchiha Gin shouted until his throat was hoarse for a long time, the usually active black-skinned rabbit-eared royal sister was nowhere to be seen, making him anxious enough to take out his trump card.

"If you don't come out again, I won't supply any more hand-squeezed lemon..."

Click—

Before he could finish speaking, Uchiha Gin heard footsteps behind him and was instantly overjoyed.

"You finally came. We haven't combined for a long time; let me have some fun today, okay?"

Looking at the black-skinned royal sister whose face was as cold as frost, Uchiha Gin licked his face and begged, trying to use sugar-coated bullets to corrode this upright pupil jutsu creation.

"After it's done, double the lemonade~"

"I'm not convenient."

Kaguya shook her head expressionlessly, hiding a trace of faint fear deep in her white eyes.

Her current disguise could fool Uchiha Gin, this thick-nerved descendant, but it absolutely couldn't fool that man.

The three clones outside, if there were no accidents, were the work of Otsutsuki Isshiki.

That narrow-minded guy might be hiding nearby watching the show right now. If she rushed out, she would definitely be exposed.

At that time, not only would her conscious identity be discovered, but she would also implicate Uchiha Gin, who didn't know the truth.

"Something up again?"

Seeing that Wangliang seemed to have some unspeakable difficulties, Uchiha Gin blinked his eyes, suddenly realized, and raised a finger.

"... Yeah."

Kaguya's breathing stagnated upon hearing this. She held her breath and clenched her fists, enduring the urge to give Uchiha Gin a violent knock, and nodded imperceptibly.

Now that things had come to this, even if she was misunderstood by the other party, Kaguya could only bite the bullet and admit it.

Having the reputation of being on her period is still better than being caught by Isshiki to refine pills, right?

"Hey, you should have just said so earlier. I'm not that kind of unreasonable boss."

Since Wangliang wasn't convenient to combine, Uchiha Gin didn't force it. He didn't necessarily have to use the Knight's power to fight.

"Then you rest well. Keep this bag of things well. Don't drink iced lemonade recently to avoid hurting your body."

Before leaving, Uchiha Gin fumbled in his backpack for a while, stuffed a bag of black hard blocks into Kaguya's hand, and carefully gave a few instructions.

After Uchiha Gin left, Kaguya opened the things left by the other party and took out an irregular black-brown hard block from inside.

"What is this thing?"

After looking at it for a while, she smelled it curiously and stretched out her small fragrant tongue to lick it. Her tense little face instantly relaxed.

"Uh... it's actually quite sweet!"
