Relying on the dynamic vision of her Sharingan, Uchiha Hezi ran for her life with all the strength she could muster.
However, the speed of the Explosion Release: Mine Fist was not something a KonohaGenin could withstand.
The Explosion Release Ninja drove his fist directly through the fragile abdomen of the KonohaGenin, Matsumoto Takahiro.
The Explosion ReleaseChakra shattered the KonohaGenin, who had just escaped death, into flesh fragments no larger than chess pieces.
Flesh, bones, organs...
fell like heavy rain following the explosion.
Even Uchiha Hezi and the GeninHatake Shoichi were blasted far away by the bloody shockwave mixed with blood and chunks of flesh.
"Matsumoto!"
Ugh.
Earlier, Hatake Shoichi had almost vomited all over the ground upon seeing the severed head of the Sand Ninja.
Now, seeing his own teammate blown into pieces of flesh at such close range terrified him to the point of uncontrollable bodily spasms!
Just like Naruto when he saw Zabuza, where fear made him unable to move his body.
Hatake Shoichi now also felt his legs refusing to obey him.
The explosion's shockwave hadn't severely injured him, but his trembling legs made it impossible for him to stand, no matter how hard he tried.
"Yo, little bug, you're quite lucky to have been blown so far away and not died." The enemy seemed to find Hatake Shoichi's fearful and terrified appearance very amusing.
He didn't pursue Uchiha Hezi, who was suffering from a mild concussion and experiencing vertigo.
Instead, he walked step by step toward the half-grown boy who was too terrified to stand.
The Explosion Release Ninja waved his right hand slightly, "Explosion Release..."
Before he could attack again, a Kunai carrying blue-white lightning arrived with the sound of the wind.
The Explosion Release Ninja was very cautious; this time, he didn't use his explosive fist to counterattack. Instead, he used the simplest Body Flicker Technique to move as far away as possible from Mikoto's Lightning ReleaseKunai.
"As expected of a Jonin, his combat experience is extremely rich; he won't fall for it at all!"
Mikoto became increasingly anxious.
Because of electromagnetic control, her Lightning ReleaseKunai could change speed and direction.
Therefore, when the opponent defended, she could make the Kunai bypass the defense and perform a surprise attack with serpentine flight.
But the opponent was experienced and used the Body Flicker Technique to move away directly, causing all of Mikoto's plans to fail.
Seeing her teammates about to be killed one by one by explosions, Mikoto couldn't think of any solution.
"What should I do?!" Mikoto's brain spun frantically.
The Explosion Release Ninja approached Hatake Shoichi again, but Hatake Shoichi's body wouldn't listen to him.
"Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique!"
A flash of a blade.
A thick arm soared into the air, dripping with blood.
The Explosion Release Ninja, as if having seen something terrifying, used his only remaining left hand to frantically tear at the mask on his face.
Only after tearing off the goggles and mask completely could Mikoto and the others see the true appearance of this Ninja.
Brown hair, gaunt cheeks, and an exceptionally cold expression!
This Explosion Release Ninja fell into a brief state of confusion, nervously looking around for the enemy who had ambushed him.
Clutching his severed right upper arm with his left hand, the Explosion Release Ninja let out a mad roar from his throat!
"Come out! You bastard, come out."
The surviving Mikoto and the others were overjoyed!
"It's Lord Fucheng, it's Lord Fucheng who has come to save us!"
This near-death experience gave Mikoto and the others a feeling of salvation.
That adoration and gratitude toward Uchiha Fucheng were particularly intense.

Perhaps the Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique had triggered the enemy's mental confusion. Although the attack power of this Ninjutsu wasn't strong, as a Sharingan Genjutsu opener to confuse the opponent, its practical effect was excellent.
Uchiha Fucheng's Three TomoeSharingan rotated rapidly.
Taking advantage of the fact that the opponent was still spinning in place, he used Ninjutsu to ambush again.
Snake — Dragon — Hare — Tiger
"Fire Release: Dragon Flame Technique!"
An almost transparent thread connected to the leg of the panicked Explosion Release Ninja.
As Uchiha Fucheng used Fire Release: Dragon Flame Technique, the flames suddenly erupted from beneath the opponent's feet like a homing missile.
The massive flames even rose higher than the surrounding trees.
"You can't kill me! Explosion Release: Clone Explosion."
In the center of the massive flames, an even more powerful explosion emerged from the heart of the fire.
A shockwave!
A huge ring of white air waves.
Instantly blew away all the Fire Release flames that had just ignited.
A blood-covered figure from within the flames, accompanied by the white ring of air waves, was thrown from the center of the explosion and landed somewhat miserably on a dirt mound in the distance.
Mikoto, Hezi, and Hatake were also blown seventeen or eighteen meters away by this massive shockwave.
They felt pain in all their internal organs.
Uchiha Fucheng, having hidden in the treetop, was not seriously affected by the shockwave.
Only the tree beneath his feet could not escape the fate of being blown apart by the shockwave.
Leaping down from the treetop, he threw five special Kunai at the Explosion Release Ninja from a distance.
Uchiha · Kunai Throwing!
Utilizing the observation and judgment ability of the Sharingan, Fucheng was able to make the Kunai collide in mid-air to change direction.
His throwing level was very close to the technique Itachi demonstrated to Sasuke.
This unique Uchiha throwing technique made it extremely difficult for the target to dodge.
The current Explosion Release Ninja, Gari, was now in a severely injured state with one arm, one eye, and a fractured leg bone.
It was even more difficult for him to dodge this large barrage of Kunai.
As a representative Ninja of aggressive assaults, the IwagakureExplosion Release was powerful.
However, to a certain extent, he had sacrificed the original defensive capabilities of Earth Release.
Facing the accurate surprise attack of high-level Fire Release, he could only use an explosion for "emergency handling."
Although the explosion's injuries left him nearly crippled, the intense physical pain also allowed him to break free from the confusion of the Sharingan Genjutsu.
The shockwave also allowed him to successfully escape the sea of fire, avoiding continuous damage from the high heat.
Even if it cost him an eye, this was a very worthwhile tactical choice.
"Earth Release: Body Hardening Technique!"
Unable to dodge, the Explosion Release Ninja Gari ultimately chose to endure it head-on.
This choice of his was exactly the option Uchiha Fucheng had intentionally left for him.
Because Fucheng was about to become a stationary damage-dealing Ninja, he was going to increase his output power.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Continuous Bullets!"
Three consecutive massive fireballs, like a repeater cannon, followed the Kunai and slammed into the "Explosion Release Ninja using the Body Hardening Technique in place."
If it weren't for having just acquired the Senju Bloodline talent from Nawaki, Fucheng really wouldn't have dared to use such a Chakra-consuming Ninjutsu.
The massive flames and the three roaring, violent explosions made Mikoto and the others, who had run far away to hide, feel the danger.
The three injured people hurriedly fled even further away.
Uchiha Fucheng looked at the explosion site of the Great Fireball Continuous Bullets, a smile curling on his lips.
Not only did he not approach to observe, but he instead moved a bit further away.
"Gari of Iwagakure! I know you're not dead!" Fucheng probed.
"Don't you want to leave some last words? You infiltrated disguised as a Sand Ninja, and now you're about to die; I guess you must be very unwilling."
He used the intelligence he was familiar with to probe the black figure still struggling within the flames.
"Bastard, how do you know my name?!" Gari, within the raging flames, had shifted from terror to grief and indignation.
He suspected that someone had leaked his intelligence.
"I won't survive, but you have to die too!"
Seeing that Uchiha Fucheng wouldn't fall for it and approach him, Gari, the Explosion Release user who was almost burned black in the flames, charged toward Fucheng like a madman.
With only half a charred arm left, Gari naturally had no way to perform hand seals with both hands.
He could only shove his half-charred forearm into his own mouth, where his jawbone was already exposed, and began to bite frantically.
"Explosion Release: Bloodthirsty Self-Destruction!"
