Naruto: I, Uchiha, Just Want to Die

Chapter 15: Sealing Flames, Sealing Techniques, Thunder Binding Kill!

The complete bone-crushing and obliteration combo was finally done.

Uchiha Ci wiped the sweat off his forehead.

He glanced at the fiercely burning Dragon Fire Prison, exhaling lightly.

Having fought to this extent, both his physical and mental stamina were nearly at their limits.

From yesterday to today, he hadn't had any time to rest.

After being jolted awake by an explosion tag during a brief sleep, he hardly had any time to react.

The combination of two ninjutsu, along with Uchiha-style Manipulated Shuriken Techniques, had nearly drained Uchiha Ci's physical strength and chakra reserves.

However, as he gazed at the fiercely burning Dragon Fire Prison, spewing black smoke, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Despite the battle, he hadn't felt much pressure.

And Moroi, as a special Jonin-level sealing technique ninja, hadn't displayed the full extent of his abilities.

Moreover, Fire Release has always been considered a merciful ninjutsu...

Could it be that the opponent was so weak that he was actually killed by this?

The sudden turn of events on Uchiha Ci's side caught the three people in the rear by surprise.

Especially the Uchiha elder, Uchiha Setsuna.

To be honest, when he saw Uchiha Ci pushing Uchiha Seijiro away to take on the rear guard alone, his heart nearly leaped into his throat.

Uchiha Ci, though adept with shuriken, indeed had a bit of the flair he had in his younger years.

But the opponent was a Jonin...

When they were trapped inside the barrier set by the Hidden Cloud, Uchiha Setsuna's heart skipped a beat—this was bad!

Uchiha Ci was definitely not a match for the Hidden Cloud Jonin.

However, in just a moment, the situation reversed!

Amateurs watch the excitement, experts watch the technique—

Uchiha Ci's response in a critical moment, combined with his brilliant Uchiha-style Manipulated Shuriken Techniques, successfully transformed the Dragon Fire Technique and Phoenix Sage Fire Technique—two weak C-rank ninjutsu.

One could say that he had elevated the ninjutsu!

Dragon Fire Technique and Phoenix Sage Fire Technique, as C-rank Fire Release, have obvious drawbacks.

They mainly focus on wide range and strong suppression, but their power is dispersed.

Yet, Uchiha Ci, using ninja wire to guide the Dragon Fire and using shuriken to upgrade the Phoenix Sage Fire Technique into Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson, managed to concentrate the scattered fireballs into a single point, successfully merging the power of the two C-rank techniques.

The result was a power comparable to an A-rank ninjutsu!

Furthermore, once the ninja wire was taut, its sharpness was astonishing.

When the net closed in, it was nearly indistinguishable from dozens of ninja swords striking simultaneously!

This series of combo ninjutsu left Uchiha Setsuna clapping and cheering, wishing he could personally replicate such a move.

He felt that it was incredible!

This kid's combat talent is terrifying!

The techniques he had just taught Uchiha Ci were mastered in no time.

It was as impressive as a calf rubbing against an electric wire... in a bad-ass way!

"Moroi!" Among the three Hidden Cloud members, Dodai shouted in shock, his eyes filled with horror.

Who could have imagined that in just a moment, Uchiha Ci had completed a series of lower-defeating-upper, weak-defeating-strong maneuvers!

"Damn it! This kid actually..."

Dodai's face turned grim, as dark as the bottom of a pot, with veins bulging on his forehead. He could barely restrain himself from rushing in and smashing the little brat in the barrier with a Lava Fist.

He knew in his heart that if they lost Moroi here, then even though he and Rami could suppress Uchiha Setsuna, they absolutely wouldn't be able to push him to the brink!

Thus, this mission might come to an abrupt end here.

"Calm down!" Rami, who was even older than Uchiha Setsuna, gripped Dodai's shoulder and said calmly:

"Dodai, don't act rashly. Let's finish what we need to do!"

"Moroi isn't as weak as you think. Look carefully, the barrier hasn't been broken."

"Moroi... he's still alive!"

Despite saying this, Rami's brows furrowed deeply.

Because Uchiha Ci's onslaught was so swift, so tightly linked, that it left people unprepared.

In taijutsu, speed is the key to invincibility.

Not to mention that Moroi, as a barrier-class ninja, had most of his skills focused on techniques.

Even an experienced Jonin like Rami would find it difficult to quickly form seals and counter under such a rapid attack.

He could only respond instinctively.

At this moment, his heart grew heavier.

The three in battle all unconsciously slowed their pace, their peripheral vision tightly locked on the battlefield within the death barrier.

Although it was just a Genin's fight, unknowingly, it had affected the entire battlefield's situation, and even the Hidden Cloud's entire strategic deployment in the Land of Hot Water!

Inside the barrier.

Black smoke billowed, flames roared.

Dozens, perhaps hundreds, of razor-sharp wires were rapidly slicing toward the center under Uchiha Ci's control!

The scene appeared overwhelmingly one-sided.

Uchiha Ci, a Genin without the Sharingan, was actually suppressing the Hidden Cloud's special Jonin, Moroi, all by himself!

But soon, Uchiha Ci's expression changed.

He immediately sensed that something felt off!

The wires cutting towards the center of the sea of flames should have sliced Moroi into pieces like cutting through pork.

However, now they encountered some resistance, as if they were being stretched taut against a tightly wound ball of yarn, getting tighter and thicker but unable to move inward any further.

Just then, the center of the flames suddenly churned.

Then, a chilling voice echoed—

"Brat, did you really think you had already won?"

As the voice fell, a pattern similar to a summoning technique abruptly expanded from the center of the flames.

Seeing this pattern, Uchiha Ci's pupils shrank.

He quickly released the wires and immediately pulled out eight shuriken from his ninja pouch, hurling them towards the center of the flames!

"It's useless!" Moroi's indifferent voice rang out.

As he spoke, his figure gradually emerged from the flames.

To say "emerged" might be a bit inaccurate.

In Uchiha Ci's vision, it was more like the flames themselves were dissipating.

Like pressing the plunger of a toilet, the entire sea of flames swirled in a clockwise direction, converging towards the center, where Moroi stood.

And Moroi was half-kneeling on the ground, one hand pressed firmly onto a scroll on the ground, his gaze cold as he shouted:

"Fire Sealing Technique!"

As the words fell, the entire sea of flames was sealed within the small scroll.

At this moment, the eight shuriken that Uchiha Ci had thrown were already flying towards him.

However, Moroi, unhurried, formed the Ram seal, pressing both hands in mid-air.

A spherical sealing array unfolded.

"Sealed Binding Formation!"

It was this technique that had thwarted Uchiha Ci's wire cutting.

Then, Moroi stood up and began advancing towards Uchiha Ci step by step, his hands continuously forming complex seals.

Uchiha Ci immediately sensed something was wrong and instinctively tried to leave his position.

However,

Moroi spread his hands and roared, "Brat, where do you think you're going?!"

A sealing pattern formed in Moroi's hands, which he then slammed into the ground.

"Thunder Binding Kill!"

Serpentine currents rapidly shot towards Uchiha Ci, forming a circular pattern beneath his feet.

The character for "thunder" appeared prominently!

Then, four electric whips suddenly wrapped around Uchiha Ci's limbs, binding him tightly!

As the electricity coursed through him, Uchiha Ci wanted to move, but it was futile.

Half of his body was already numb, and even opening his mouth became extremely difficult.

"Heh, brat, got any last words?" Moroi sneered, taunting him.

Uchiha Ci looked up at the sky, his mind flooded with countless expletives, but he couldn't utter a single one.

The ancients did not deceive me,

Fire Release really is a merciful ninjutsu!

All smoke, no harm, all smoke, no harm!

Moroi slowly approached, drawing his long sword, lifting Uchiha Ci's chin with a mocking smile:

"You Uchihas just love these flashy, useless tricks."

"But unfortunately for you, you've met me!"

Moroi sneered coldly, placing the blade at Uchiha Ci's throat, and declared:

"Your flashy tricks end here!"

Faced with such an overwhelming Moroi, the expression on Uchiha Ci's face began to twist.

He wanted to laugh maniacally, but couldn't bring himself to do so prematurely, so he had to hold it in.

The more he suppressed it, the more twisted his expression became...

Uchiha Ci's eyes widened slightly,

His gaze carried seven parts mockery, three parts disdain, and ninety parts calm defiance.

He curled his lips, his eyes locking onto Moroi's face, and couldn't help but chuckle sinisterly.

Softly, he murmured:

"Is that so?"
