Chapter 1277: Annihilation_4

As for the female identity, it couldn’t possibly be the traitor Uchiha Itachi from Konoha.

Then, it’s obvious which side this visiting Uchiha ninja belongs to.

The Uchiha Clan from the Land of Demons.

Moreover, the most important thing is that their boss is currently in a full-blown adversarial relationship with the Land of Demons.

“Knowing the name Uchiha is for the best, don’t worry, it only takes a moment.”

The ninjas surrounded her, but before they could even approach Ichihime’s body, a terrifying surge of chakra erupted from the center of her body. The visible, substantial form burst outward from within.

Bone.

Meridians.

Flesh and blood.

Combined in an instant.

The legendary destructiveness that only the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan could comprehend—Susanoo, was effortlessly summoned by Ichihime’s chakra, becoming her tool for battle.

The body of the warrior, hot as magma, emitted a brilliant amber glow, turning the surrounding air into what seemed to be burning flames, transforming the area into a terrifying steaming zone.

“Wha-what is that!?”

“How could there be something so terrifying!?”

“Run! There’s no way we can win!”

It was not a phony giant warrior; anyone with a bit of insight should know that the giant warrior was a massive chakra entity, formed by an enormous amount of chakra.

Seeing chakra materialize and condense into such a fearsome scale, the ninjas were shocked and unsettled, feeling their worldview shattered and reformed.

Is this kind of power really something a ninja can wield?

Uchiha…

Sharingan…

At this moment, the ninjas all understood why the Uchiha clan was synonymous with power.

This is the destructive force that makes their souls tremble with fear.

The very presence of the magma warrior turned the space into a scorching hell, making the blood in their bodies painfully hot, and unbearably tortured.

Forget fighting, just standing in front of such a terrifying existence was draining all their strength.

To the extent that a hint of resistance wouldn’t even rise in their hearts.

They only wanted to instinctively escape, as far away as possible.

While they harbored this instinct, Ichihime merely stood in place, and with a thought, the giant magma warrior moved, its fists clenched, raised toward the sky, and then smashed down onto the ground with force.

At the instant the fist hit the ground, it exploded directly.

Dust, rubble, along with a storm powerful enough to blow people away, swept out in all directions.

The sweltering heat, like magma, also spewed outwards, penetrating the air into every corner, making breathing here even more difficult.

When everything calmed down, the magma warrior vanished from Ichihime’s exterior, leaving behind only the drifting dust and the ninjas lying in ruins.

They moaned in pain, all stripped of their ability to resist, with not a single death.

It’s imaginable that this was the result of Ichihime’s deliberate control.

She had considerable mastery over her power and managed it perfectly, unlike when she was young, where she couldn’t control the power inside and only used brute force, filled with flaws in the eyes of true strongmen.

Now she was entirely different from back then.

The belated ninjas of the Land of Demons arrived after the battle, panting heavily, and when they saw the chaos everywhere, their eyes twitched fiercely.

What exactly happened to cause such a massive crater inside the villa?

The ground had been devastated beyond recognition.

Judging from the remaining heat in the air, was it some super large scale Fire Style Ninjutsu?

But looking at how the ninjas were injured, there didn’t seem to be any obvious burn marks.

The ninjas of the Land of Demons could only sigh; as expected of that lord’s daughter.

And she lives up to the name ‘monster’.

“The battle here is over, next, I’ll go catch those merchants. You all handle these people.”

Ichihime pointed at the ninjas lying on the ground.

“Them?”

The leading Jonin from the Land of Demons showed hesitation.

“Isn’t the domestic railway construction short of labor? Take these people back for labor reform, and it will grind down these people’s banditry, they look nothing like what ninjas should be. For all people know, they may think they are bandits.”

Ichihime looked at the fallen ninjas, aware that they were the enforcers cultivated by the Merchant Alliance, often involved in misconduct.

As a result, their banditry was particularly severe, which caused Ichihime to dislike them.

Moreover, having been long oppressed by the merchants, they had a slavish nature, maybe they didn’t even possess an independent personality.

“Yes.”

Thinking about the future development plans of the Land of Demons, indeed, there was a shortage of manpower in railway construction, and the supervisors there often complained about the lack of hands, hoping for more people to be sent there.

Bringing these captives back could upgrade them into advanced labor immediately, saving a lot of time and money. Those supervisors likely wouldn’t be complaining about manpower shortages all day then.

With the problem solved here, Ichihime proceeded toward the deeper regions of the villa.

She reached the conference room, where the merchants gathered without any obstacles, these merchants had long lost their imposing composure, sitting anxiously in the meeting room, awaiting judgment.

Even though Ichihime initially considered finding a target to intimidate so they would settle down, she reluctantly had to drop it seeing them like this.

“Is there any merchant wandering outside, who hasn’t returned? Speak up, or choose between being struck by lightning or roasted by fire.”

Ichihime questioned sternly.

Meanwhile, in her palms danced fierce blue lightning and violent flames, making the merchants’ eyelids twitch violently.

A merchant stepped forward, trembling as he spoke, “There’s one more, Oyashiro En wasn’t here, he’s an arms dealer from the black market.”

By then, the situation was quite clear.

The people of the Land of Demons found them, and if they didn’t want to suffer physically, they could only betray their comrades.

Pampered as they were, they didn’t like enduring torture, and since they couldn’t withstand it, they might as well suffer less, at least for now, they were physically unharmed.

“Oyashiro En? Don’t worry about him; it was him who informed us of this meeting you’re having here.”

Ichihime withdrew the electricity on her hands, seeming satisfied that there were no escapees; the mission was accomplished.

As for Oyashiro En, a coward with more secret bases than subordinates, if he wants to hide, probably no one in the Ninja Realm can catch him.

In terms of clinging to life, he’s even better at hiding than the old man back home.

Besides, there’s no need for the Land of Demons to kill the donkey after grinding the millstones, as he’s also a half-collaborator of the Land of Demons. There’s no need to grasp tightly onto some of his minor faults.

“…”

Upon hearing Ichihime’s response, the merchants’ expressions instantly became extremely complicated.

In their hearts, they immediately cursed Oyashiro En’s entire family lineage, including his ancestors back eighteen generations.
