The Uchiha clan, which was wiped out entirely, lacked vision.

Chapter 21, Tail 9

The phosphorus-damaging insects from the roots of the oil-producing woman are different from the insects in ordinary oil-producing women's homes. They are nano-insects, which are extremely small and highly toxic, and will kill you upon contact.

However, these nanobots are also very difficult to control, as they cannot distinguish between friend and foe.

Therefore, in combat, Aburame Torune would often cover his body with these nanobots and rush to the enemy to engage in close combat.

If you don't know the information beforehand and rashly engage him in combat, and accidentally punch him, you will immediately be entangled by nanobots and killed on the spot.

The best strategy against him is to attack from a distance using various ninjutsu and secret techniques; you must never let him get close.

However, Uchiha An is the natural counter to the Aburame clan, and when Susanoo is activated, chakra energy becomes the best barrier.

"Haha..." He laughed wildly, waving the scepter in his hand and smashing it down on Aburame Tokun.

"Don't you really like close combat?"

Come on!

"Come and take my attack!"

Aburame Tori kept jumping and dodging, but the huge scepter slammed into the ground, and the sand and stones it kicked up scattered like bullets. Its speed and power were comparable to kunai, and it came in a large swath, leaving no way to avoid it.

Within moments, his body was scratched by the sand and gravel, leaving streaks of blood. Blood seeped from the wounds and was immediately devoured by the nanobots.

The agarukama, its surface as still as water, circled Susanoo several times but found no opening, so it made a hand gesture.

The Root ninjas in the distance immediately changed their previous attitude of avoiding them like the plague and started running towards this side.

Upon getting close, a ninja immediately began to rapidly form hand seals.

"Earth Release: Earth Flow Spear!"

Upon noticing the hand seals he was forming, Uchiha An immediately jumped back, taking Susanoo with him and moving away from their previous position.

A slight tremor came from the ground, and several sharp stone spears suddenly sprang up from the ground like bamboo shoots, thrusting diagonally upwards and covering the spot where he had just stood.

"This level of ninjutsu can't harm me!"

Uchiha An also quickly formed hand seals, and as soon as Susanoo opened its mouth, flames swept across the sky, engulfing the ordinary Root ninjas.

"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"

The flames were so intense that they distorted the air itself.

Suddenly, from a blind spot, a dark shadow darted out like a venomous snake, cleverly using the shadow cast by the flames as cover, and silently pounced on Uchiha An.

"Secret Technique: Shadow Binding Technique!"

However, Ino-Shika-Cho and the others had already rushed nearby and began to secretly attack him.

However, Uchiha Azusa was already on guard against them. Under the dynamic vision of the Mangekyou Sharingan, this level of sneak attack had almost no chance of success.

"Tch, they really are birds of a feather, they've finally joined forces!"

He turned his head slightly, and the direction of the flames was gently changed. The intense heat of the fire blew away the thin shadow.

But then the ground beneath his feet gave way, and a whirlpool of mud and sand suddenly appeared, sucking Susanoo's body down like quicksand.

"Earth Release: Ant Territory!"

It turned out that the Earth Release ninja from before had used his power again.

"This Susanoo doesn't have legs, it's really inconvenient!"

Uchiha An grumbled inwardly, then swung his staff in a wide arc and brought it down on the ninja's head.

Every ninjutsu requires a user to control it; once the user dodges, the subsequent effects naturally disappear.

But to everyone's surprise, the Root ninja didn't even flinch in the face of this deadly attack. His eyes flashed with a desperate light. He completely abandoned his defense and just kept his hand seals unchanged. He unleashed his chakra furiously, pushing the power of Ant Hell to its limit.

The scepter fell, and with a "thud," it easily smashed the Root Ninja into a bloody pulp, splattering blood and flesh all over the ground.

However, the time he wasted allowed more ninjutsu to be used on Susanoo.

"Earth Release. Earth Release!"

"Earth Release: Earth Prison Hall Without End!"

"Earth Release: Heart-Slaying Decapitation Technique!"

Perhaps due to the leak of information, Konoha Village already knew that Susanoo's weakness was that it had no lower body, so half of the Root ninjas who came this time were actually Earth Release ninjas.

Just as the quicksand trap that had trapped Susanoo began to solidify, the ground suddenly split open to both sides, creating a huge crack several meters wide and bottomless.

It's another tactic specifically designed to target him!

Uchiha An's feet slipped, and he and Susanoo fell to the ground together.

At the same time, the ground around the crack suddenly rose up, and the rubble automatically climbed upwards and quickly closed in and sealed the top, forming a huge earthen and stone prison that trapped him and Susanoo inside and began to absorb his chakra.

Suddenly, ripples spread across the ground beneath him, and a ninja leaped out from underground, a burst of fire from explosive tags flashing beneath his clothes, charging headfirst toward him.

This is a human bomb!

Whether he is dead or alive, the numerous explosive tags on his body will inevitably be detonated in this confined space.

"Such a trivial skill, yet you dare to show off!"

Uchiha An, suspended in mid-air, roared, his Mangekyou Sharingan spinning wildly. His Susanoo's energy body suddenly shot upward, and two thick thighs grew from below, firmly landing on the ground and protecting his entire body. With a swing of his arms, like hitting a golf ball, he sent the charging Root assassin flying.

But at the same time as the attack hit, all the detonators exploded.

The violent shockwave generated by the secondary explosion spread outwards, hitting the surrounding soil and rocks, and bounced multiple times in the confined space in an instant, greatly increasing the damage at the center of the explosion.

Those outside only saw that the earthen prison expanded rapidly as soon as it was formed, and after several earth-style ninjas managed to hold it in place for a while, it exploded with a bang.

The flames inside shot into the sky like a column of smoke, spiraling upwards from the gap in the stone prison, reaching the horizon.

The flying pebbles and sand were far more dangerous than any kunai. Even the Root ninjas had to retreat and dodge.

Did it succeed?

Aburame Tori stared intently into the column of smoke, ready to pounce and finish off the enemy at any moment.

At the root, mission comes first; life and such are secondary.

They don't even care about their own lives, let alone the lives of others.

Aburame Torune only considered Yamanaka Fu as his friend. As for the other Root ninjas, they were just tools. He didn't hesitate to send these ninjas to risk their lives to create opportunities.

Traps, fissures, stone cells, human bombs—a series of deadly moves followed one after another, forming an inescapable siege.

This was the most effective attack he could muster when the phosphorus worms proved ineffective.

As the firelight gradually died down and the billowing smoke and dust rose, a tall shadow reappeared.

That was the figure of Susanoo!

Uchiha An was hovering at the chest of Susanoo, breathing slightly. His left eye was half-closed, and a line of bloody tears was slowly flowing down his cheek.

He stuck out his tongue and gently swished the flowing blood and tears into his mouth.

Tasting his own blood again drove his already agitated mind to even greater frenzy.

"Ha ha……"

"You guys are really great, really great!"

He laughed wildly, looking up at the sky, and quickly made a hand seal. Then, the people of Konoha were horrified to see that under the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's clothes in their hands, a burst of explosive tags lit up.

The previous battle was too intense. Although they rescued the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, they didn't have time to examine him. Little did they know that Uchiha An had already set up an explosive tag trap hidden on Naruto's body.

Now that Uchiha An has activated it, the explosive tag immediately detonated.

The next moment, accompanied by a violent explosion, a huge, fiery red fox appeared out of thin air in the Konoha team.
