Heart of Steel Half-Morph Sword Saint, Madara is willing to call me the strongest

Although the Iwagakure still have the advantage in numbers, the top-level combat power balance that determines victory or defeat has been broken.

The remaining Iwagakure jonin also understood this and immediately chose to retreat.

The Konoha jonin led the team in pursuit. The goal of this battle was not only to win, but also to weaken the Iwagakure's manpower as much as possible.

Uchiha Yi also led the seventh team to hunt down the Rock Ninja whose number far exceeded theirs by several times.

As soon as those Rock Ninjas saw Uchiha Yi, their legs immediately went weak and they had no courage to resist at all.

At this moment, it was a completely one-sided massacre.

On the battlefield, Uchiha Yi constantly performed Alpha Assault, his figure shuttling among the Rock Ninja team, like a god of death, constantly reaping the lives of each Rock Ninja.

[Successfully killed the target, experience value: +2%]

[Successfully killed the target, experience value: +3%]

[Successfully killed the target, experience value: +0.7%]

……

"Unfortunately, they are all Chunin and Genin, and the experience points they provide are too few."

The massacre lasted for a full half hour. The escape speed of those senior ninjas was too fast. They used earth escape jutsu to escape underground and it was completely impossible to catch up with them.

Most of those who stayed were Chunins and Genins.

As time went on, the resistance of the Iwagakure ninjas became weaker and weaker.

There are not many living Iwagakure ninjas left on the battlefield.

In the end, with the failure of the last wave of counterattacks, the remaining troops of the Iwagakure Village chose to surrender, and the battle finally gradually subsided.

Uchiha Yi's fingers gently wiped across the ninja sword, wiped off the blood, and then put the ninja sword back into the sheath.

At this moment, he was standing in the battlefield area where corpses were scattered all over the ground.

Uchiha Yi's gaze penetrated the layers of misty blood and swept across the land shrouded in death.

All around, broken blades, limbs and shattered ninja tools were intertwined. The scars left by various ninjutsu were like scars on the earth, shocking to the sight.

He slowly turned his head and looked at the members of Team 7 behind him.

Masahiko's eyes were filled with exhaustion, Shisui bit his lower lip tightly, trying to maintain restraint, while Youliang clenched his fists, his eyes still scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

In war, even the victors carry an unspeakable burden in their hearts.

In this battle, they are both victors and survivors who have witnessed the loss of countless lives.

"Brother Yi."

Shisui stared blankly at the corpses around him with a complicated expression, "Killing so many people, are we doing the right thing?"

Uchiha Yi frowned slightly, and his eyes dimmed a little.

After a long silence, he lowered his eyelids and said softly, "I don't know either. Maybe there is no right or wrong in war. But I know that if we don't kill them, we will be the ones to fall. This is war."

Shisui listened to this thoughtfully. After a long silence, he suddenly said, "War is too cruel. It never asks right or wrong, but only life and death. I hope that one day, the world will no longer need ninjas like us, and no children will have to endure such pain."

"Shisui, you..."

After hearing what Shisui said, Uchiha Yi fell silent.

His eyes turned to Shisui's slightly childish face.

No wonder Future Shisui made that choice.

He is such a simple, kind-hearted person with a heart full of love.

Unfortunately, he was too naive and simple.

Do you really think you can save your family and protect your partners by committing suicide?

Uchiha Yi stretched out his right hand and patted Shisui's shoulder, opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.

It is too far away to discuss the future now. The most important thing is to focus on the present and improve your own strength.

at the same time.

Orochimaru stood in the center of the battlefield with his back to the afterglow of the setting sun, his shadow stretched out.

The figures of the three giant snakes slowly disappeared into the air, leaving behind only a devastated land.

"Yi, come here."

A cold voice called out to Uchiha Yi.

"Lord Orochimaru."

Uchiha Yi used a body-flash technique and stood in front of Orochimaru.

Sinister eyes, python-like pupils, and a weird smile on the corners of his mouth.

Standing in front of Orochimaru, although Uchiha Yi tried to remain calm on the surface, he couldn't help but feel nervous inside. He was in trouble.

"Yi, you brought me a big surprise."

Orochimaru's snake eyes were fixed on Uchiha Yi's face.

This child is really not simple.

I haven't met such an interesting guy in a long time.

Orochimaru suddenly had a feeling that he had never really seen Uchiha Yi clearly.

I originally thought that he was just an outstanding young junior, but his strength brought me surprises time and time again.

Now, even he himself felt a little afraid.

That unprecedented space ninjutsu did not require any hand seals or carriers.

Especially that strange recovery ability.

How on earth did he do it?

There was a hint of intoxication in Orochimaru's eyes when he looked at Uchiha Yi, just like a hunter eyeing the perfect prey.

Noticing Orochimaru's perverted gaze, Uchiha Yi felt sick.

It was obvious that he had been targeted by Orochimaru.

But he was not panicked. With his current strength, he was able to protect himself in front of Orochimaru.

And after this battle, he will definitely attract the attention of the village's top leaders, and even Orochimaru will not dare to touch him easily.

"Haha, Yi, I see something interesting in you."

Orochimaru stuck out his long scarlet tongue and licked the corner of his mouth, not hiding the excitement in his eyes.

"Oh? What is it that even Lord Orochimaru finds so interesting?"

Uchiha Yi continued in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Come to think of it, Lord Orochimaru also has something that interests me."

"What do you think."

There was a hint of curiosity in Orochimaru's eyes.

"I am very interested in the sword-controlling technique that Lord Orochimaru used just now."

"Oh? You mean the Kusanagi sword, the Sky Sword?"

"Yes, it is worthy of being a ninjutsu developed by Lord Orochimaru. It is extremely powerful."

"Well, Yi, do you want to learn it? ...But this move can only be used with the Kusanagi sword."

"Yes, I want to learn your ninjutsu. As for the Kusanagi sword, I will find a way to solve it."

As soon as Uchiha Yi finished speaking, a sharp light flashed in Orochimaru's snake-like eyes, as if he was considering something.

After a moment's silence, Orochimaru's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile.

Then, he slowly opened his mouth, and from his strange and wide mouth, he spit out a purple scroll, which gently fell in front of Uchiha Yi.

"Is this just..."

Suppressing the nausea in his heart, Uchiha Yi picked up the scroll with a puzzled look in his eyes.

He originally just mentioned it casually out of curiosity about the "sword-wielding technique", but he didn't expect Orochimaru to be so generous and teach it to him directly.

"This contains my original Kusanagi sword technique."

Orochimaru's voice was low and hoarse, with a chilling coldness, "I think you will be interested."

Uchiha Yi unfolded the scroll, and saw rows of complicated spell gestures and detailed hand seal illustrations.

After taking a look at the contents of the scroll, he looked up at Orochimaru with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

"Yi, don't be so wary of me. I admire you."

Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth with his scarlet tongue and slowly said, "Yi, are you interested in studying the meaning of life with me? The secrets hidden in the human body are far beyond your and my imagination."

"Studying life?"

After a moment of silence, Uchiha Yi frowned slightly and shook his head: "Lord Orochimaru, my pursuit of life is different from yours."

When Orochimaru heard this, a hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and said slowly in a very seductive tone:

"It doesn't matter. Everyone has his own path to take. If you want to become stronger one day, you can come to me. What I have studied will definitely surprise you."

After saying that, Orochimaru's figure gradually faded away, leaving Uchiha Yi standing there alone, holding the purple scroll tightly in his hand, with complicated emotions in his heart.
