Naruto: I, Uchiha, Just Want to Die

Chapter 150: Serpent Pupils, Cursed Seal Sharingan! An Intense Chase!

Illusion Technique: Mirror Heaven and Earth Change activated.

The scene before Uchiha Ci fractured like glass shattered by a bullet, creating a web of cracks that spread rapidly.

Then, it collapsed with a thunderous sound!

The genjutsu was broken, and the ninja who cast it spat out a mouthful of blood, looking at Uchiha Ci with shock and exclaiming:

"Damn it! This doesn't match the intel!"

"This brat can use genjutsu!"

The Sand Hidden ninja collectively stiffened. Upon realizing this, they immediately avoided meeting Uchiha Ci's gaze, afraid of any eye contact.

The Sand Hidden Anbu present were all elites, well aware of the dangers posed by the Uchiha's Sharingan.

Uchiha Ci tilted his head slightly, his gaze fixed on the Sand Hidden ninja who had initiated the genjutsu.

Under the influence of the Curse Seal of Heaven, the pitch-black pupils within his scarlet eyes began to shrink, becoming narrow and transforming into serpent-like vertical slits!

The two black tomoe stopped spinning, fixing themselves on either side of the slit pupil.

This peculiar transformation gave his eyes an eerie yet captivating beauty, as if they belonged to a being from myth.

Instinctively, Uchiha Ci suddenly felt that he could not only reflect the genjutsu back at his opponent but also retaliate with Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique!

Within a 360-degree view, akin to an infrared sensor, all the Sand Hidden ninja before him—even though they had turned their gazes away—seemed to have already entered the conceptual range of a "direct eye contact" with him.

They were all now within the attack radius of his ocular technique!

However, just as Uchiha Ci was about to turn his thoughts into reality, an inexplicable shiver crawled through his bloodline, warning him. It was as if using this power would cause irreversible changes to his eyes.

In that fleeting hesitation, a cold shout rang out before him:

"Kill him!"

"Wind Release: Wind Blade!"

"Puppet Technique: Thousand Needle Rain!"

In an instant, the Sand Hidden Anbu unleashed their techniques one after another.

Seeing this, Uchiha Ci's serpent pupils contracted sharply. Ignoring the potential consequences or side effects, he decided to fight using the power granted by the Curse Seal of Heaven.

At this moment, he was utterly exhausted. If the power of the Cursed Seal was his only means to fight, then he had no choice but to trust it!

His scarlet eyes widened abruptly, and blood vessels filled with an icy natural energy from Ryūchi Cave connected his eyes with crimson threads.

A stream of blood tears flowed from his eye sockets as an invisible ocular force erupted outward. In the vision of his serpent Sharingan, it lunged at everyone before him!

Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique!

A sudden chill engulfed the Sand Hidden ninja, as though they had been plunged into an icy abyss. Before they could comprehend what had just happened, the oppressive sensation vanished.

"Ci, what are you spacing out for?!"

At that moment, a hand grabbed Uchiha Ci and yanked him backward, interrupting his ocular technique.

Uchiha Shisui, Inuzuka Akira, and a Root ninja named Otsu all leaped into the fray, forming a defensive triangular formation in front of Uchiha Ci.

Shisui's youthful face was tense with determination. Drawing his tantō, he held it with one hand on the hilt and the other bracing the blade with his fingertips.

"We'll handle this. Akira, you take the left flank. Otsu, you cover the right."

"As for the ones in the center, leave them all to me!"

Clenching his teeth, Shisui's scarlet eyes reflected his resolve and will as he looked at Uchiha Ci.

"Uchiha Ci."

"Go! Be the bridge between the clan and the village—in your own way!"

"Your back is ours to protect!"

The abrupt interruption of his technique left Uchiha Ci momentarily stunned. Then he saw Shisui in front of him suddenly multiply, creating over a dozen identical clones.

Each clone looked so real that even the Sharingan couldn't distinguish the original.

A group of Shisui clones charged forward, breathing a massive fire dragon that blasted open a path through the enemy ranks!

On the left flank, the Two-Headed Wolf from Inuzuka Akira ravaged the enemy, while on the right, Otsu engaged in a fierce melee, using advanced kenjutsu and Earth Style techniques to hold his ground.

Uchiha Ci watched as his teammates opened a gap in the enemy formation for him, through which the figure of Ebizō was retreating into the distance.

Uchiha Ci's serpent pupils narrowed as he clenched his jaw tightly.

"Again, it's happening again!"

"At every critical moment, all they do is run!"

"A bunch of cowards!"

Chakra surged throughout his body, blending with the chilling energy. It concentrated in his thighs and calves, causing the transformation of the Cursed Seal to deepen.

The muscles in his legs twisted, transforming at the genetic level to become more robust and elongated.

Black Cursed Seal markings spiraled upward, forming intricate patterns on his legs.

With a sneer on his face, Uchiha Ci twisted his foot. His surroundings blurred into indistinct lines as he darted out of the gap at breakneck speed.

He sprinted forward like a deadly black mamba, closing in on the fleeing Ebizō.

The scarlet serpent pupils in his eyes glowed with unrestrained killing intent.

"Damn it! No one's leaving today unless they kill me first!"

Propelled by his altered legs, Uchiha Ci left a storm of sand and an audible sonic boom in his wake, narrowing the distance between him and Ebizō.

At that moment, Ebizō tore off his black robe and wind mask, revealing a muscular, well-defined body.

Straightening his back, he swung his arms rhythmically and smirked.

"In the Land of Wind, no one knows how to escape better than me!"

As a Wind Style expert, Ebizō had mastered a scientific running technique, integrating Wind Style to greatly enhance his speed in sandy environments.

"At this speed, kid, you won't even see the sand I leave behind!"

Smirking confidently, he glanced over his shoulder to catch a glimpse of the despair on the boy's face.

However, his smirk froze in place the next moment.

Not even a hundred meters behind him, Uchiha Ci surged forward, his speed raising a tsunami of sand in his wake.

"What the hell?!"

Ebizō's heart seized as his eyes widened in disbelief.

"This... this is too fast! How can he be this fast?!"

With a maniacal expression, Uchiha Ci raised his head and glared at Ebizō with his scarlet serpent pupils, his face twisting into a sinister grin.

"Old man, where do you think you're going?!"

"Stop right there!"

Taking a deep breath, Uchiha Ci lowered his body and surged forward, further accelerating. In the blink of an eye, he caught up, then overtook Ebizō.

Skidding to a halt, his feet carved deep trenches in the sand.

Slamming his left hand into the ground, he shouted:

"Time to cash out the loot!"

Super Deathmatch Barrier!
