Chapter 156 Only the strongest can stay behind to cover the retreat

"Finally they escaped..." Uchiha Masaki looked back with lingering fear, "If there is only one main force, the three of us can still fight, but facing two at the same time is really too much to handle."

Ling held the knife in one hand and covered his side with the other. His internal organs, which were overly eroded by the tailed beast's chakra, continued to send him painful signals, but his face remained calm. "Thanks, Akihiko...are you okay?"

"Ah, it's okay. I originally awakened this eye technique to save people. And you saved me before," Uchiha Akihiko raised his hand to cover one eye. Blood could be vaguely seen seeping out from his hand. "I just didn't expect it to consume so much eye power. My eyeball is still hurting now... and it seems to have a time limit. I probably won't be able to use it a second time in a short time."

Uchiha Masaki turned his head back when he heard that. "What you awakened is an illusion? I think you seem to have controlled that Thousand Hands."

"That was just a simple illusion amplified by the Mangekyo." Uchiha Akihiko frowned, finally removing his hand from his eyes and wiping away the traces of blood and tears. "So I told you long ago that the Mangekyo brings misfortune as well as the power of God, but you two just don't believe it."

"Wow, that's nonsense. You were beaten badly by Ling last time—"

Uchiha Akihiko's face suddenly darkened, and he glared at him fiercely, "If you don't believe me, come and try it yourself."

"I give up - going to the battlefield is tiring enough, why should I feel uncomfortable?" Uchiha Masaki curled his lips, "You know, I'm just a very, very ordinary Uchiha, and I can't compare with you perverts."

"So you deserve to be hated."

"Nonsense, it's obviously only you and Hong who always dislike me."

Uchiha Akihiko snorted and stopped the meaningless bickering, "Ling, have you found the location of Hong and the others?"

"Found them, but they are being hunted. I'm afraid we'll have to fight another round..." Ling let out a long breath, reached for the ninja tool bag behind him, took out three or four of the prepared ration pills and threw them into his mouth, "Replenish your strength. We might all die here today."

The atmosphere, which had been somewhat relaxed, became tense again. Uchiha Masaki and Uchiha Akihiko looked at each other, and took out the military pills and stuffed them into their mouths. At the same time, they tried to adjust their own states to prepare for the next battle.

……

Uchiha Hong spat out blood foam from his mouth, and stared at the two adult Thousand Hand Ninjas in front of him with a pair of scarlet Sharingans, "You are really haunting... You should know that this is our Uchiha camp. I have already sent out a distress signal. If you don't run away now, you won't be able to escape soon."

"Since we dare to carry out the attack mission, it means we are ready to sacrifice," the Thousand Hands Ninja, who always had a cold face, said calmly, "I know you have placed detonating tags nearby, but that level is just a useless effort to delay time - there are more than just Uchiha nearby."

Uchiha Hiro's grip on the weapon tightened involuntarily, but his voice remained steady, "Then you can just give it a try."

"If you had given up the other half earlier, maybe you wouldn't have been tracked down by us, and you wouldn't have been forced into a dead end by the two of us," another tall female ninja looked at them with complicated eyes, "Don't make a pointless struggle, it will only increase your pain."

Hearing the words of the female ninja, the rescued Uchiha couldn't help but grit their teeth - indeed, if they hadn't slowed down, the team should have been able to rush out of the forest.

Uchiha Hiro let out a breath, not daring to take his eyes away from the two people in front of him, "Chiho, I'll stay behind to hold them back for a while, and you guys take the opportunity to escape."

"Don't be stupid, it's you who should be running away with the others," Uchiha Chiho raised his eyes and looked at Uchiha Hiro, his body was shaky and his mind was in chaos, but his voice was still steady, "Our physical strength has reached the limit, even if we run, we can't get far.

How long can you delay? Ten minutes? Or twenty minutes? While you still have the energy, use the detonating talisman to delay and then leave. Whoever survives will be the best."

"Stop talking nonsense. Ling has stipulated from the beginning that only the strongest can stay behind to cover our retreat. If you really care about me, just get up and leave." The magatama in Uchiha Hong's eyes slowly spun. "And I can't afford to let the wounded cover our retreat. I can't afford to lose face."

Uchiha Chiho shook her head vigorously. The original beauty of her voice could no longer be heard. Only the hoarseness of her vocal cords being torn remained. "There are two of them. If you can't handle them, I will stay too."

"Bullshit, without a leader, all these people will die," Uchiha Hiro lowered his body slightly, and the magatama in his eyes finally formed a complicated pattern, "Besides, I can stay and try out my new power."

At the moment when the magatama in Uchiha Hong's eyes formed a pattern, the two Senju ninjas who had been in a leisurely posture changed their expressions, and almost at the same time turned their eyes away from Uchiha Hong, and the male ninja's voice was even colder, "Such a small Mangekyo... is really amazing."

The murderous intent contained in it even stopped the croaking of frogs and chirping of insects around.

"Ha, you're scared already?" Uchiha Hong tightened his grip on the weapon, but smiled wantonly, "Come on, I'll show you the power of the Uchiha."

The peers behind him had bright eyes. They all forced themselves to stand up, supporting each other and looking for a direction to retreat.

Uchiha Hong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the movement behind him. As long as they still had the desire to survive, it would be fine. But if the entire team had no desire to survive, then he really didn't know what to do.

But I knew I was just bluffing.

The kaleidoscope eye techniques he awakened are the Heaven's Control which passively triggers the effect of breaking illusions, and the Time Flow which can distort one's own time. Both are merely auxiliary eye techniques and do not play a decisive role.

He was confident that he could use the Time Flow to seriously injure or even kill one of the Senju, but the other main ninja who was also active on the battlefield would definitely be more cautious, and he would be even less of a match since he could only delay the opponent, and he would still have no choice but to die.

Uchiha Hiro was thinking hard about his own advantages, trying to increase his vitality, while the two Senju facing him were whispering about what ability made Uchiha Hiro so confident. For a moment, the situation that was originally on the verge of breaking out became deadlocked because of each side's fears.
