Reviving the Uchiha Clan: Starting with a Legacy of Many Descendants

"In the Inuzuka clan, our ninja way is simple: give it your all from the very start!"

Tsume Inuzuka dropped to all fours, crouching into a battle stance. "Kuromaru, let's go! We'll take down the one summoning those creatures first!"

"Woof! Woof!"

A puff of white smoke enveloped Kuromaru, and he transformed into a humanoid figure, perfectly mirroring Tsume's appearance.

"Ninjutsu: Fang Over Fang!"

The two began spinning rapidly, becoming twin tornadoes as they charged ferociously at the Animal Path.

The Animal Path, unfazed, placed its hands on the ground. A summoning seal emerged, and a massive panda materialized, rising to block the Fang Over Fang attack.

"Damn it! This guy is using summoning creatures as shields!"

"Kuromaru, let's try again—this time, aim for its blind spot!"

Just as Tsume and Kuromaru prepared for another strike, Monya stepped forward confidently and shouted,

"Leave this to me! My ninjutsu can take out all six of these guys at once!"

"Earth Style: Rock Pillar Spears!"

Six massive, jagged stone spears erupted behind Monya, growing larger as they hurtled toward the Six Paths of Pain.

"Hah! These rock spears are reinforced with my chakra and are incredibly sturdy—impossible to break. They can pierce even summoning beasts! Watch closely. Once I strike, the enemy won't stand a chance!"

Monya smirked confidently. But just as he thought victory was in his grasp, the Preta Path stepped forward, spreading its arms. A transparent barrier enveloped its body, absorbing all six rock spears without leaving a trace.

"What?! How is this possible?"

Monya was stunned. It was the first time he'd encountered a technique capable of absorbing someone else's ninjutsu.

Before anyone could react, the Asura Path opened its arms and wrists, revealing several barrels. It pointed skyward and launched a barrage of rockets, which homed in on the group with terrifying precision.

Monya stared in disbelief. "Is this ninjutsu… or advanced technology?"

Yamanaka Haiichi snapped, "Don't just stand there—move!"

Everyone scattered immediately, narrowly avoiding the rockets as they crashed into the ground, sending explosions roaring across the battlefield.

"Damn! That blast was massive!"

"No time to admire it! They're launching another attack!"

The Asura Path's head split open, revealing a long laser cannon. Beams of light shot out at high speed, giving the group no time to evade.

At the last moment, Tsuchidai shouted, "Monya, use Earth Style to create a defensive wall! My jutsu can enhance its strength!"

"Understood!"

Monya quickly formed hand seals and slammed his hand onto the ground.

"Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall!"

A massive slab of rock rose from the ground. Tsuchidai puffed up his cheeks and spat out a stream of dark rubber-like fluid.

"Lava Style: Rubber Wall!"

The rubber coated the Earth Flow Wall, significantly reinforcing its defense. The wall not only withstood the Asura Path's laser beams but even reflected them back.

The group huddled safely behind the wall as Yamanaka Haiichi marveled, "As expected of Tsuchidai-san—your mastery of your Kekkei Genkai is incredible."

Jiraiya added, "It's been a long time since I've seen that technique. Back then, Tsuchidai and I were enemies. Seeing it now brings back memories..."

During the Third Great Ninja War, Tsuchidai's Lava Style had caused Konoha significant trouble.

Tsuchidai smirked, unashamed of boasting. "Don't worry! My defensive rubber is so tough that only the previous Raikage's Hell Stab could penetrate it. Aside from him, no one else can!"
