Chapter 47 The Final Battle (V) (New book, please collect and recommend~)
Uchiha启 looked at the four Stone Ninja in front of him, panting, realizing he seemed to have truly met his match.
If Uchiha启 had faced these four guys one-on-one, it wouldn't have been easy to deal with them, but he definitely wouldn't have been in such a sorry state as he was now.
That's right, Uchiha启 felt very dishevelled at the moment; although the coordination of these four guys wasn't flawless, it was absolutely impeccable.
The Iwashimizu Shū Team truly lived up to its reputation as a team that caused Konoha a lot of trouble in the Land of Grass; their coordination was too good, and their current tactics were specifically aimed at Uchiha启's Sharingan.
One of them always faced Uchiha启 directly to restrict him, while the other three attacked him from the sides and behind.
No matter how Uchiha启 turned or pulled away, these people always surrounded him in the same formation.
And the guy he faced head-on would always consciously and actively restrain Uchiha启; such a guy wouldn't consider how to kill Uchiha启, his job was just to prevent Uchiha启 from having time to observe his surroundings.
Such a restraint indeed made Uchiha启 somewhat helpless; the best way to deal with the Uchiha was to gang up on them, not allowing the Uchiha clan members to utilize the advantages of their Sharingan.
"They really are troublesome guys."
Uchiha启 thought to himself, these guys had taken shamelessness to the extreme; although it was normal, it made Uchiha启 feel unusually uncomfortable.
If it weren't for the Akimichi Clan's medicine that had already restored Uchiha启's Chakra, coupled with years of battlefield experience that allowed Uchiha启 to maintain his energy for extended periods, he might already be lying on the ground, unable to move.
He wouldn't have been defeated by these four Stone Ninja, but rather, Uchiha启 would have been exhausted himself.
However, the Akimichi Clan's medicine had long since worn off; although Uchiha启 hadn't yet felt his body's weakness erupt, he knew it was only a matter of time.
Once the medicine's suppressive effect wore off or his Chakra was depleted, he would be finished.
He had been fighting with these Stone Ninja for several minutes, and the wounds on Uchiha启's body were gradually increasing; being surrounded by four powerful Ninja, Uchiha启 couldn't possibly escape unscathed.
Most importantly, Uchiha启's muscles were now also feeling extremely sore; while facing the encirclement, he could avoid some weapon damage, but he couldn't completely dodge the attacks of fists and feet.
His strength was considerable; even against some Jonin, he could fight to a draw or even win, but his age was a factor, and his physical endurance was only so-so.
Although relying on his Sharingan and his keen speed, the Stone Ninja's damage to him was very limited, and these injuries were not serious and did not affect his combat at all.
However, if this continued, Uchiha启 knew he might truly be in trouble; taking a deep breath, Uchiha启's expression turned dangerous.
Although he had long been prepared to use the power of his Mangekyo, adhering to the principle of 'don't use it if you don't have to, and wait for Minato Namikaze's rescue as much as possible,' Uchiha启 had been entangled with them until now.
But now, Uchiha启 knew he'd better not think that way anymore; although he could maintain high-intensity combat, as a Ninja, he knew that his situation might soon be figured out by these four Stone Ninja.
The scars on his body were the best proof; since they could inflict such minor wounds on him, it wasn't impossible for them to deliver a fatal blow if this continued.
Uchiha启 was just a little hesitant about whether to use the ability of his left eye or his right eye, because either ability seemed capable of dealing with these guys relatively easily.
As for the abilities of both eyes, Uchiha启 felt it was best not to try them easily; the first time left Uchiha启 with a very bad impression, and besides, now was not the most critical moment of life and death!
Thinking of this, Uchiha启 raised the Kunai in his hand to block a sneak attack from a Stone Ninja behind him, but the next second, Uchiha启's expression froze.
Because at some point, a Stone Ninja, taking advantage of Uchiha启's dodge, suddenly burst forth and kicked Uchiha启.
Boom!
This immense force came from Uchiha启's back, and he suddenly felt as if his internal organs were about to be vomited out.
Uchiha启 immediately flew backward, but midway, he braced himself with one hand on the ground and pushed back hard, narrowly dodging several Kunai sneak attacks.
Uchiha启 had encountered this level of coordination countless times; Uchiha启 landed steadily on the ground, forcing down the blood in his throat, his face flushing crimson but quickly turning pale again, and he lowered his head, gasping for breath after a long while.
"You are indeed very strong," a Stone Ninja suddenly spoke, "to resist four of us for so long at this age, truly worthy of being a member of the Uchiha clan; we will thoroughly study your corpse. Take him down!"
"Yes!" the remaining three Stone Ninja immediately shouted, and the four of them instantly spread out and then rushed towards Uchiha启 from different directions, once again surrounding Uchiha启 completely, giving him no room to escape.
"Ha."
Just then, Uchiha启 suddenly sneered, and then he abruptly raised his head, which had been lowered, coldly staring at the Stone Ninja in front of him, a triangular rhombus slowly rotating in his bloodshot eyes.
"Just you guys?"
Opening his Mangekyo Sharingan once again, Uchiha启 suddenly had an unprecedented feeling; it was a feeling of ultimate control over his body.
Uchiha启 felt that although his speed couldn't become faster, his body's coordination could become better; if he had used these eyes from the beginning, Uchiha启 probably wouldn't have been hit so many times by these guys' fists.
But relatively, Uchiha启 also felt that his Chakra was like a flood with open gates; this rate of loss was several, even more than ten times, faster than when he used his Three-Tomoe Sharingan!
"Time Jump!"
Although Uchiha启 could withstand such a rate of loss, it definitely couldn't last long; thinking of this, Uchiha启 immediately used his Dojutsu on himself.
In an instant, Uchiha启 felt his speed become even faster; just as the fastest charging Stone Ninja was about to slash with his Kunai, Uchiha启 suddenly grabbed his arm with incredible speed.
With a slight twist of his right hand, his Kunai immediately flew out of his grasp.
Uchiha启 then smoothly caught the falling Kunai in mid-air and, with a speed indiscernible to the naked eye, plunged it into the Stone Ninja's heart.
Then, Uchiha启 suddenly turned, the eerie triangular rhombus subtly rotating, and the second Stone Ninja's body instantly stiffened.
The Mangekyo's Genjutsu was incomparable to the Three-Tomoe Sharingan's; Uchiha启 showed no mercy, his body twisting again as he grabbed the third Stone Ninja holding a Kunai.
He then twisted his right hand forcefully, causing the Stone Ninja's body to contort, and the Kunai in his hand precisely pierced the chest of the second Stone Ninja.
And as this third Stone Ninja realized something was wrong, Uchiha启 pulled out a Kunai and slashed it across his throat.
"The last one."
After dealing with three Stone Ninja consecutively, Uchiha启 also felt his left eye starting to swell slightly; this was within normal acceptable limits, as long as it wasn't bleeding.
However, the bad news was that Uchiha启 found his Chakra consumption was somewhat excessive; as he used this Dojutsu, his Chakra flowed away even faster, and even the special substance in his eyes began to decrease extremely slowly.
But now was not the time to dwell on this problem; the Kunai in Uchiha启's hand shot out quickly, and at the same time, he himself rushed out.
The moment the Kunai pierced the last Stone Ninja, he also clutched the Stone Ninja's neck!
"Do you also wish to dance?"
Uchiha启's right hand tightly gripped his throat, and accompanied by the piercing explosion and the continuous vibration of the ground, Uchiha启 twisted and pulled forcefully, and blood slowly flowed from the mouth of this last Stone Ninja.
