Rengoku's eyes spun.
Radiant Kotoamatsukami!
Hiruko only felt a yellow sun in the sky explode directly open.
Countless flames shone onto his body, and Hiruko let out a heart-rending scream.
"AHHHH!"
Susanoo could no longer be maintained and dissipated instantly.
In that instant Rengoku arrived before Hiruko.
Hiruko instinctively used Steel Release to harden his whole body.
Rengoku's left hand's two fingers hooked, and he pressed them toward Hiruko's eyes.
Hiruko let out a hiss, forcing his arms up to block his face.
Rengoku's left hand was stopped, and he pressed down on Hiruko's hand, his right fist smashing into Hiruko's stomach.
BOOM!
A muffled crash.
The fierceness of taijutsu enhanced by sage arts.
The ground trembled violently, and Hiruko's body was dented inward from the blows.
Thankfully Hiruko used Steel Release, otherwise his body would have been shattered through.
Rengoku's strikes piled on like piling stakes, continually hammering Hiruko's abdomen.
Even Steel Release was gradually dented inward.
But these injuries, bones crushed as if by a normal person, did not bring Hiruko any pain.
He only snarled, "Damn! Uchiha Rengoku, I'll kill you!"
"Storm Release, Thunder Cloud Break!"
A thundercloud appeared, continuous arcs of lightning striking out.
Rengoku didn't even furrow his brow; he bore the arcs, and as Hiruko formed seals he punched Hiruko in the mouth.
Hiruko made a muffled groan: "Ugh!" His mouth skewed off.
But his eyes were tightly shut; he didn't dare open them.
His other hand flailed wildly trying to block Rengoku's iron fists, there was nothing but humiliation in his struggle.
At that moment a purple-black wave of energy descended from the sky and slammed at Rengoku.
Rengoku flipped and jumped away, leaving Hiruko's body.
The purple-black energy was strongly corrosive; when it hit Hiruko, he screamed in misery.
The skin blistered and burst all over his body.
Hiruko had by now gotten up from the ground; the corroded, burned areas on his body quickly peeled and fell to the earth.
In a moment Hiruko returned to his original state.
He turned his head and glared fiercely at Moryo, but said nothing. After all, he had been saved.
Rengoku's eyes narrowed as he looked at Moryo, "Moryo?"
Moryo's whole body burned with purple-black energy, his aura terrifying.
He made a deep sound from his mouth, "That formation just now, witchcraft. Hand over the priestess!"
"He's my opponent!", Hiruko had just been pinned by Rengoku and beaten to the ground in front of Orochimaru.
He was both angry and anxious, thinking he had been careless.
Roaring, he used Swift Release and charged at Rengoku, trying to recover face.
"Hmph! Do you really think our Uchiha are soft targets?"
Rengoku's hand clamped together:
A mass of ghost flames immediately materialized around his body.
It was the Ghost Lantern Technique!
Balls of fire spun continuously and flew at Hiruko.
Hiruko used Swift Release to dodge a few and snorted, "Using ninjutsu on me, how foolish."
He opened his palm, "Dark Release, Absorption Hole!"
The Ghost Lantern fireballs Rengoku used continuously turned into chakra and were inhaled by Hiruko into his arm.
"Ah hahahaha… ah…"
Hiruko, who had only just laughed twice, immediately sensed something wrong.
Rengoku was presently in Sage Mode.
The ninjutsu were strengthened by sage arts, containing large amounts of sage chakra.
The Ghost Lantern sage-fire Hiruko inhaled into his body quickly petrified him.
Hiruko howled and bit off one of his own arms sharply, stopping the petrification from advancing further.
At this moment a massive burst of purple-black energy erupted from Moryo, and he suddenly opened his mouth and spat.
Corrosive chakra rained down toward the Uchiha clansmen.
Rengoku's feet moved once and then stopped.
Because Miroku had arrived.
Miroku wore the priestess crown, holding the bell taken from Shion, her shrine maiden power surging.
With a single wave of her hand a light screen blocked the Uchiha clan grounds.
She easily blocked Moryo's attack.
Rengoku then clapped his hands once, and Hiruko's body flew toward him unbidden.
It was the Bansho Tennin.
But Rengoku didn't call it out; no one knew how he had done it.
Hiruko's one arm had already been completely bitten off; even the shoulder was hollow.
Yet his body no longer bled, rather it was some semi-transparent gelatinous substance.
Hiruko flew toward Rengoku in a panic; only now was he frightened, Uchiha Rengoku's power far exceeded his expectations.
No sooner had he given a panic-stricken glance than Rengoku seized the chance: Radiant Kotoamatsukami!
Another sun exploded in Hiruko's mind.
This time Rengoku used a lot of pupil power; under this genjutsu Hiruko screamed and wailed, struck dizzy.
Before Rengoku could seize Hiruko by hand, Rengoku abandoned the attack and stamped his foot into the ground.
The ground in front of him shook out a black-and-white figure, Zetsu!
Zetsu clapped his hands; half of that black-white Zetsu-body detonated, forming a huge mass of trees.
Rengoku in Sage Mode had extremely high three-dimensional power; under continuous strikes those trees didn't restrain him.
But Hiruko rolled and crawled, fleeing to the rear, no longer able to bluff.
However his claim of being a perfect immortal ninja had some truth, because in this short time, a gray-black gelatinous arm had already grown from his shoulder.
Although very thin, it regenerated extremely quickly.
With two arms again, Hiruko used Swift Release to rapidly widen the gap with Rengoku.
Rengoku did not pursue Hiruko; instead he turned and aimed Amaterasu at Moryo.
Black flames burned on Moryo; he only let out a muffled chuckle.
Then purple-black chakra surged out sharply, pushing the Amaterasu flames away.
Rengoku didn't let Moryo continue to posturize, he stamped his foot and vanished in an instant.
He had used Null Horizen; he had slipped into another dimension.
The next moment he appeared before Moryo and punched the chest of Yomi's body.
He literally punched a hole through Yomi's chest.
After all, this Yomi body was just an ordinary person; the body wasn't that sturdy.
"ROAR!"
Moryo howled in pain, purple-black corrosive power erupting from his body.
Rengoku's heart stirred; his body ignited into flames, the sage-fire colliding directly with the corrosive energy.
The scene immediately sizzled.
At that moment Obito appeared behind Moryo.
He first looked at the hole in Moryo's chest in astonishment, then grabbed Moryo and dragged him into Kamui space.
Hiruko, who had just retreated, also vanished.
The two who had come in full of confidence were soundly beaten by Rengoku and retreated in disgrace.
The Uchiha here didn't even mobilize others; Miroku didn't transform either.
