Chapter 46: A Demon's Verdict
"Kill"
The thought solidified in his mind like iron.
Without a second of hesitation.
His right hand moved.
Forming single handed hand seals with precision.
Kenzō took in a deep breath.
Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation.
Immediately a huge column of fire spewed out of his mouth.
Like a raging tidal wave of fire.
The darkness in the room instantly vanished for a moment.
As if a huge spark had just lit up.
In the meantime.
Goro was still busy with his depraved "play".
Completely unhinged and unaware, having the time of his life like usually.
The women on the other hand who already had completely given up on herself.
Mechanically obeyed all of his commands.
Like a puppet with no free will.
Both of them completely ignored their surroundings.
One too lost in pleasure.
While the other too broken to care.
Just then, Goro felt a sudden chill assault his back.
With some slight irritation he offhandedly scratched his back.
And instinctively looked back.
In that instant.
His mind completely blank.
As his eyes opened completely wide in less than a fraction of a second.
Before him a massive tide of flames were just a hair's breath away from him.
Their size was massive easily ranging from 8 to 10 metres.
Raging towards him at a terrifying speed.
His body instinctively tried to move.
But it was already too late.
The flames engulfed him like a wild beast devouring its prey.
A blood-curdling loud scream tore out of his mouth.
Moreover Goro wasn't the only one screaming.
Several children and other captured prisoner who looked lifeless a moment ago also screamed in unison.
The fear of death overriding everything.
Their helplessness, their despair, their suffering, everything.
Replaced by only the icy sensation death.
Kenzo eyes looked emotionlessly at the voices who were screaming in agony under his Fire Release.
Many of them were children ranging from 8 to 9 years old.
Still innocent and precious, in the eyes of most humans.
Kenzos eyes however were deep and dark, like a dark abyss looking at the people below.
To be a demon is to be merciless and cruel, a murderer and destroyer. There is no place in heaven or earth for such a thing – turning into an enemy to the world, still having to face the consequences.
Kenzo thought darkly.
Down below, many were trying to tear off their own skin with their bare hands.
Letting large chunks of burned skin and flesh melted and separated like wax under extreme heat.
Dropping to the ground in wet, sizzling clumps.
Leaving behind an intense, sickly-sweet and pungent odor of rotten meat.
The scene was nothing short of hell itself.
Due to Kenzō only being able to use only one hand.
Even though the speed of his release had increased by a significant margin his actual lethality of his attacks had also dropped by a significant margin.
Thus, creating this hellish scene.
Kenzo looked intently at scene below.
This was useful practical data of his technique after all.
By now the loud screams had caused a huge commotion.
As many guards rushed in at their fastest speed.
One of the guards who was the closest to the building who also looked a bit young.
Kicked open the building door in a hurry.
His expression was utterly terrified.
He had seen the smoke coming off the vents.
With a loud bang!!
The doors of the building fell open as the raging fire finally became fully visible.
Immediately after, a nauseating scent assaulted the guardes senses.
As he took in the scene before him.
Bodies writhed violently on the ground, their skin charred and peeling away in layers, some still twitching as flames clung to them like living things, while others had collapsed into burning heaps of flesh.
The air was filled with the crackling of flames, the wet sizzling of burning flesh, and the dull thud of bodies hitting the ground.
"Ghh—urk—!"
The guard suddenly gagged, his stomach violently churning.
"Blegh—!"
A stream of vomit burst out of his mouth, splattering onto the ground with a wet splat.
"Ugh—ghh—!"
His body trembled uncontrollably as more bile rose up his throat, spilling out again in uneven bursts.
Drip… splat… splatter…
The sound of vomit hitting the ground mixed grotesquely with the crackling fire.
His whole body shivered slightly as he fell to his knees.
His face was deathly pale.
As a thought emerged unconsciously in his mind.
"A demon"
"Only a demon can put someone in this kind of….
This kind of "suffering"
The guards heaved violently. As his breath came in short gasps.
He had seen death before.
Gruesome once.
The kind were there wasn't even a complete corpse left behind.
But this, this was his first time seeing something this horrific.
Just then many of the more senior guard also arrived.
They were the type of guard who looked over a whole area at once.
Ready to provide support were it was needed.
As they also took in the scene before them.
None of them even flinched.
As there eyes darted around looking for the culprit.
——
Meanwhile on the outside kenzos real body.
Was watching everything like a hawk from above the tree top.
As soon as he saw the smoke from the vents of the building.
He moved.
His figure disappearing from the branch.
As he rapidly approached the gate guards.
Who were now also looking at the smoke.
Their eyes slightly wide with shock.
Before long, one of them regained their composure and without caring about his partner he ran towards the forest with all his might.
"It was not because he was afraid and deserting, he was simply following emergency protocols.
And contacting the nearest outpost for help according to them.
"Yes that's it."
He thought silently.
At this thought his pace quickened even further.
Sweat soaking his cloths and dripping down his chin.
His heart thumping wildly in his chest.
As his gaze settled on a tree branch.
And in that moment.
A person seemed to just appear out of nowhere atop that very tree branch.
This person was wearing completely black garments.
With a red oni mask and a small sealing scroll strapped on his waist.
And there seemed to be three black tomoe spinning.
In his red eyes.
Wait, three black tomoe and red eyes.
The guards pupils shrank to pin points as a horrifying realisation settled in his mind.
That's the…
"The Uchiha clans Sharingan."
The figure standing before him was undoubtedly.
"An Uchiha."
