Chapter 62: Summoning Beast Dream Eater, Day Tiger Instantly Kills

Bang!

Another punch directly smashed a Root shinobi’s body into an unnatural shape!

Reiji’s strength was already at the peak of the Quasi-Kage level, just one step away from the Kage level.

After opening the Sixth Gate, his strength instantly surged to the Kage level!

With a single punch, even a shinobi like Oil Woman Ryoma, whose strength surpassed that of an elite Jonin, was beaten half to death.

Not far away, Danzo’s eyes were practically bulging out of their sockets.

Even though he knew the Eight Gates had terrifying power, that was when all eight gates were opened!

Reiji had only opened six gates!

How could he possibly become this strong?

Danzo had no doubt that if he confronted Reiji head-on right now, he would be at an absolute disadvantage!

A chill flashed through his eyes as Danzo rapidly formed hand seals:

"Wind Release: Vacuum Bullet!"

Several bullets of compressed air shot from his mouth, heading straight for Reiji’s back!

However.

Although Reiji had his back turned toward him, it was as if he had eyes in the back of his head, clearly perceiving the incoming attack.

With a slight shift of his body, he easily dodged the barrage.

Instead, one of the Root shinobi on Reiji’s other side was extremely unlucky and was struck by the air bullets Reiji had dodged.

His entire body was pierced by finger-sized holes, blood pouring out like a fountain.

Then Reiji finished off his suffering with another merciless punch.

"Damn it!"

Danzo cursed under his breath.

His opponent’s perception was simply too strong, and his speed was too fast.

It was difficult for his ninjutsu to hit him.

Worse still!

Because there were too many of his own people surrounding the enemy from all directions, his techniques could easily hit his own subordinates.

What should he do now?

In terms of taijutsu, after Reiji opened the Eight Gates, even Danzo himself would not be his opponent.

As for ninjutsu, small-scale techniques could easily be dodged by Reiji.

After rapidly thinking things through, Danzo quickly made up his mind.

He bit his finger, formed a series of hand seals, and shouted:

"Summoning Jutsu!"

Bang!

A huge cloud of smoke erupted.

Accompanying it was a sound like the roar of an elephant.

A gigantic red beast appeared inside the Four Violet Flames Formation with a thunderous boom!

Danzo’s summoning beast, Dream Eater!

"Everyone, fall back!"

Danzo shouted at his subordinates.

Immediately afterward.

Dream Eater inhaled violently.

A powerful gale accompanied by terrifying suction swept everything on the ground into its enormous mouth!

"What incredible suction!"

Relying on the strength of the Sixth Gate, Reiji barely managed to keep himself standing against the gale.

However.

Even the ground itself was practically being ripped up by Dream Eater’s suction!

Without anything to brace himself against, he would not be able to control his body and prevent himself from being sucked away.

Seeing this, Danzo couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He knew exactly how powerful Dream Eater’s suction was.

Even if what stood before it was a building, Dream Eater could tear it directly from the ground and suck it into its stomach.

If Uchiha Reiji were swallowed into Dream Eater’s stomach, he would naturally be unable to escape being digested.

Then today’s battle would be over.

"Tsk. I really didn’t want to open the Seventh Gate."

Reiji spoke with a hint of regret.

He had already mastered the first six gates of the Eight Gates completely.

Opening them did not cause much damage to him.

But the Seventh Gate was different.

Once opened, the burden on his body would become considerably greater.

Moreover, after opening the Seventh Gate, the amount of time he could continue fighting would be drastically reduced.

Today, he would simply go all out for once!

Ever since his encounter with the rogue Orochimaru, this was the first time he had unleashed his full strength without reservation.

His blood surged with battle intent.

Reiji pressed one finger against the area slightly above his abdomen, the corners of his mouth curling upward as he shouted with high fighting spirit:

"Seventh Gate, Gate of Shock... Open!"

Instantly!

A blue shockwave of energy caused even the Four Violet Flames Formation to tremble!

His chakra, strength, and speed surged once again!

The chakra he had already consumed during the battle was rapidly replenished, with even more pouring out than before!

And now.

Reiji stopped trying to control his body.

He allowed himself to be lifted high into the air by Dream Eater’s suction!

He raised one fist!

The air around him compressed to its absolute limit!

Taking a deep breath, he suddenly roared:

"Day Tiger!"

Roar!

Accompanied by a mighty tiger’s roar, the air was compressed to its limit, forming a tiger-shaped chakra projectile!

Within the entire Four Violet Flames Formation.

Everyone trembled beneath this overwhelming pressure!

Even Dream Eater’s terrifying suction and the gale it created paled in comparison to this tremendous might!

Boom!

The roaring tiger-shaped projectile slammed violently into Dream Eater.

The gigantic Dream Eater, which was several stories tall, was actually sent flying!

Boom!

Its enormous body crashed into the Four Violet Flames Formation.

The barrier maintained by four elite Root shinobi shattered with a thunderous explosion!

Dream Eater’s body also caught fire after coming into contact with the Four Violet Flames Formation.

...Perhaps it should be called a corpse now.

Struck head-on by Day Tiger, Dream Eater had not even been able to dispel the summoning technique and escape before being killed on the spot!

Its enormous corpse had been battered beyond recognition.

Its massive trunk was twisted grotesquely, covered in blood and mangled flesh.

Purple flames were still burning upon it.

Everyone in Root, from Danzo downward, stared at the scene before them in stunned disbelief.

The Eight Gates actually possessed such terrifying power?

Their opponent had not only mastered the Sixth Gate, but could even open the Seventh Gate?

Gulp!

Some Root shinobi couldn’t help swallowing nervously.

After years of indoctrination and training, they had long since become emotionless tools for carrying out missions.

Yet even they couldn’t help feeling genuine fear from the depths of their hearts.

But now.

Could an enemy like this really be someone they could defeat?

Was this the same helplessness the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist had felt back then?

Facing an overwhelming force they could not possibly resist, they could only desperately fight for a chance to escape.

Danzo’s throat bobbed as fear also began to rise within his heart.

There was nowhere for him to retreat.

Today’s assassination had to succeed.

Moreover.

They had already suffered such enormous casualties.

No matter what, they had to eliminate Reiji!

"Everyone, get up there and stop him! Don’t let him escape!"

"His current state absolutely can’t last long! Once his stamina is exhausted, we’ll have won!"

While shouting, Danzo ordered the Root shinobi to quickly restore the Four Violet Flames Formation.

For Danzo, he now even had to worry about Reiji escaping!

Once the Four Violet Flames Formation was destroyed, if Reiji took advantage of the opportunity and fled with the speed granted by the Seventh Gate, then all their efforts today would be wasted!

However.

What relieved him was that Reiji did not take advantage of the broken barrier to escape.

"Who said I was going to run?"

Reiji sneered.

"I told you before. Today, I’m the one who has surrounded all of you!"

"I am the one who’s going to wipe every last one of you out here!"

Before the Night of the Uchiha Clan’s Destruction.

If he could eliminate Danzo and all of Root’s forces, then the pressure on both himself and his clansmen would be greatly reduced.

This was precisely why he had allowed himself to be surrounded here and played along with Danzo’s plan.

Immediately, without the slightest hesitation.

While his current state still lasted, Reiji leaped high into the air and furiously threw punches down at the Root shinobi below:

"Morning Peacock!"

In a short period of time, he threw hundreds, even thousands, of punches.

The high-speed fists rubbed against the air, producing flames!

A dense barrage of flaming fists bloomed brilliantly like a peacock spreading its tail!

The overwhelming rain of flaming fists completely covered all the Root shinobi!

Although the power of each individual punch was not particularly great, the strength of Morning Peacock lay in its sheer number!

After the dense barrage of flaming fists rained down, moments later, everyone from Danzo downward had suffered injuries.

Their clothes were even scorched and smoking from the flaming fists.

What had originally been a group of people surrounding and killing a single person had now become a scene of Danzo and the Root shinobi being battered and miserable!

Reiji did not hesitate for even a moment.

He charged directly into the crowd, throwing punches and kicks as he wantonly harvested the lives of the Root shinobi.

Suddenly.

A black-hooded shinobi appeared before him.

It was Oil Woman Ryoma.

After briefly receiving treatment from a medical ninja, Oil Woman Ryoma had barely recovered enough strength to fight again.

However.

Earlier, Reiji had been able to knock him out with a single punch while only using the Sixth Gate.

Now that Reiji possessed the power of the Seventh Gate, Oil Woman Ryoma had no chance of being his opponent!

Somewhat wary of his opponent’s insects, Reiji directly launched a flying kick and smashed it fiercely into Ryoma’s waist.

Crack!

His spine broke!

Oil Woman Ryoma simply had no time to dodge before Reiji’s speed.

Without even being able to leave behind any final words, he was struck into an unnatural shape by the kick and sent flying through the air.

"Ryoma!"

Danzo’s heart was filled with unbearable grief.

After being beaten into such a state, Oil Woman Ryoma clearly could not survive.

Thinking of his trusted subordinate who had assisted him for decades dying just like this, even Danzo, a man with little emotion, could not help feeling an overwhelming sense of sorrow.
