NOVEL WEB Chapter 31: ch31
20 advance ahead chapter.....🥷🥷
"Lord Mito?"
"You!!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's flushed face turned pale. He hadn't expected Mito Uzumaki to betray him at such a critical moment.
Didn't you promise to deal with Uchiha?
Even if he defeated Uchiha Nan, Mito Uzumaki would likely side with the Senju clan, not him!
Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced around with red eyes. Among all the nobles, there wasn't a single loyal supporter of Konoha, no one upholding the Hokage's will!
Uchiha Nan grinned. Now, Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed cornered and helpless, ready to be defeated.
"Hiruzen Sarutobi, if you lack the courage, step down quickly and don't waste everyone's time!" Uchiha Nan taunted, urging him to make a decision. Uchiha Nan truly hoped Sarutobi wouldn't back out.
Hiruzen Sarutobi still had to bear part of the blood debt owed by Uchiha in another world.
"Fine, let's compete!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen knew he couldn't retreat now. Even if he died, it had to be on the path to becoming Hokage. Otherwise, how could he face his teacher, Senju Tobirama, in the afterlife?
"Very good!"
"Let me clarify: when ninjas fight, swords have no eyes. If you die, it means you're inferior. Everyone here can be a witness!"
Uchiha Nan activated his three-tomoe Sharingan, staring at Sarutobi Hiruzen like prey, awaiting his response.
Everyone present caught their breath. Uchiha Nan was prepared to kill, yet no one intervened.
What difference is there between fighting for Hokage and the princes of the Land of Fire fighting for Daimyo?
Brothers fighting to the death is common. This is a life-and-death struggle, not a dinner party.
Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally agreed. At this point, retreat was not an option.
The scene shifted to the duel arena, where Uchiha Nan and Sarutobi Hiruzen faced each other.
Sarutobi Hiruzen launched himself like an arrow, moving swiftly. Several shurikens appeared in his hands, hurled at Uchiha Nan.
"Showing off in front of an expert!"
Uchiha Nan sneered, dodging effortlessly, unfazed by the shurikens.
With the dynamic vision of the Uchiha three-tomoe Sharingan, Hiruzen's movements seemed slow.
"Good opportunity!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled, confident. As Uchiha Kagami's teammate, he'd sparred with him countless times and knew the Uchiha Sharingan well.
Uchiha Nan's careless dodge gave Hiruzen a chance!
"Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen left no room for Uchiha Nan to dodge, multiplying the shurikens to block all possible escape routes.
"It's over!"
Hiruzen smiled, anticipating victory, recalling his teacher Senju Tobirama's lessons.
Arrogance is a common Uchiha flaw!
Tobirama often spoke of killing Uchiha Madara's brother, Uchiha Izuna, alone.
Feigning weakness, he exploited the Uchiha's arrogance with kunai and shurikens. Tobirama proudly called Izuna's death his masterpiece, one to boast of for life!
"Lava Style: Scorching River Rock Technique!"
Uchiha Nan spat magma, melting the shurikens.
Lava Style's heat and corrosiveness were far beyond Fire Style, easily corroding metal!
What?
Hiruzen's smile vanished. Uchiha Nan used Lava Release?
Having traveled with Tobirama, Hiruzen knew most bloodline limits. He understood Lava Release's power—its heat and corrosiveness were untouchable.
Without medical ninjutsu, wounds from Lava Release would fester and rot, leading to a painful death.
But how could Uchiha Nan use Lava Release?
Isn't Uchiha's bloodline limit the Sharingan?
The onlookers widened their eyes. How lucky was Uchiha? Already possessing a top bloodline limit, now awakening Lava Release?
Could future Uchiha wield two powerful bloodline limits?
Was the Uchiha clan the Sage of Six Paths' favored children?
Why did the Sage favor Uchiha so much?
The Sage of Six Paths is unfair!
"How can you use Lava Release!"
"This isn't fair!!!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted at Uchiha Nan, envious of his dual bloodline limits.
Without bloodline limits, becoming strong was difficult. Hiruzen knew this well, while Uchiha Nan had two. Either could make him soar!
"Lava Release: Lava Condensation Technique"
Uchiha Nan wasted no time answering, intent on cutting Hiruzen in half.
He expelled yellow-brown liquefied magma, solidifying on contact. A touch would pin the enemy down.
"Damn it!"
"Damn it!!!"
Hiruzen fled, chased by Uchiha Nan's Lava Release, hands over his head, not daring to slow down. A moment's hesitation could end the battle.
"What's your ability to use bloodline limits? Fight me with taijutsu!"
Hiruzen complained while running. It felt like cheating!
Whoever heard of someone with two bloodline limits?
Idiot!
The onlookers thought simultaneously. Why not use bloodline limits?
They're a gift from the gods to ninjas!
Fight with taijutsu?
Why fight physically when ninjutsu suffices? It's madness!
Was the Third Hokage Tobirama chose so weak-minded?
They envied Uchiha Nan but looked down on Hiruzen.
Hiruzen panted, slowing, yet persevering.
Uchiha Nan wore a cruel smile, sensing the time was near. Why kill Hiruzen now with ninjutsu?
He preferred exhausting prey, enjoying their fear.
Like a cat with a mouse, he relished prey's fear, playing until exhaustion before devouring them.
Uchiha Nan had learned from cats, using this method to relieve inner discontent.
But not now!
This was a performance for the entire ninja village!
