"Hmph, as long as I take your Corpse back, some guys won't dare to rebel again! Only iron-blooded rule can ultimately unite the Uchiha Clan into a force!"
Uchiha Naka walked towards Uchiha Mao's broken Corpse, about to put it into a Scroll, but suddenly stopped.
Because, a person appeared behind him.
Although the other party's footsteps were light, Naka's intuition as an expert still made him notice the movement at the first moment, and he turned his head slightly.
Behind him, a tall woman stood in the wind, her purple hair fluttering, her figure exquisite, and two long swords hung beside her slender waist, her clear and cold eyes full of determination.
Naka was slightly stunned, and noticed her eyes at the first moment.
Those were eyes that were the same as his, with beautiful patterns, quiet as orchids, and exuding an invisible cold aura.
"Zhi Li, have you forgotten the rules? Stepping into the Back Mountain during a death fight can be regarded as launching a challenge to the Clan Head position." Naka regained his composure and said.
Uchiha Zhi Li didn't speak, and quietly drew out the long sword from her waist, the blade shimmering with cold light, pointing at Naka's neck.
Naka frowned slightly, and said with some incomprehension: "Zhi Li, I am also very sorry about your Younger Brother's matter, but that is not my fault, are you going to draw your sword against me because of this!"
After his years of rectification and suppression, the current Uchiha Clan only has two distinct factions left. One faction is the Clan Head lineage headed by himself. Behind this position is the blood of countless clansmen, and the other faction is the old members of the Hidden Leaf Police Force headed by Uchiha Zhi Li.
Back then, it was precisely because of the support of Zhi Li's faction that his position as Clan Head was so stable.
But since Zhi Li's Younger Brother died, she seemed to have become a different person. Her influenced subordinates gradually became estranged from Naka. Perhaps it was for this reason that Uchiha Mao had the intention of rebelling.
The breeze diluted the smell of blood, Zhi Li still didn't speak, her long hair danced lightly in the wind, but the determination in her eyes became even stronger.
Naka let out a long breath, his eyes gradually becoming cold, "Forget it... Since you also want to resist me, then there's no way..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhi Li suddenly released the hilt of the sword, letting the long sword insert into the ground, swaying slightly.
The blade vibrated sharply, and the crisp humming sound made Naka stunned for a moment.
"Naka, give up your iron-blooded policy, blood will breed hatred, and hatred will derive more hatred, the Uchiha Clan should not be like this."
Zhi Li spoke softly, her gentle voice revealing a bit of calmness. Obviously, Tong Ren's death made her mature a lot.
"Give up? What do you want me to give up? If someone opposes me and challenges me again, should I obediently give up the Clan Head position?"
Naka sneered, "What a joke? We, no, I have worked so hard for so many years, why should I give up easily because of your words?"
"Doing this will only bring strife and blood, and plunge the Uchiha into endless infighting, this is not right." Zhi Li said, her originally calm tone adding a trace of sadness, "More children like Tong Ren will be implicated."
"What if I don't?" Naka stared at the long sword on the ground, his eyes brewing with killing intent.
Zhi Li sighed softly, "Besides endless fighting, there must be other ways."
Naka turned around aggressively, and the undisguised killing intent made Zhi Li couldn't help but take two steps back.
He clenched the hilt of the sword, a pair of Mangekyo blooming with eerie red light, "Hmph, along the way, my hands have been stained with blood, since I have made a choice, then I will not allow myself to stagnate!"
Zhi Li said firmly: "You don't understand yourself at all, you don't understand your true power!"
"Shut up!" Naka shouted angrily, and suddenly raised his sword and rushed towards Zhi Li.
Because he himself is also an owner of the Mangekyo Sharingan, he is very clear that people with these eyes must be extremely difficult to deal with. Without clear information, he can only rely on unexpected attacks to win.
Naka turned his wrist and put on the starting style of the most skilled "Cross Slash". He stepped out, and a few violet petals fluttered. The slight touch made him feel a little surprised, but he didn't have time to care about that much now.
His offensive was too sudden. Zhi Li decisively abandoned the long sword on the ground. Although caught off guard, her reaction was extremely swift.
She leaned back extremely quickly, directly dodging the horizontal slash, supported herself with one hand on the ground, her slender waist was like boneless willow, her slender legs swept past one after another, her skirt also fluttered, an emergency backflip opened the distance, while dodging the vertical split.
Naka missed with one strike, and a bit of impatience immediately arose in his heart. He stared at Zhi Li's figure and slashed again.
Zhi Li seemed to have no intention of attacking at all, facing Naka's pursuit, she was only fleeing.
The two, one chasing and one fleeing, leaped into the air at the same time. Taking advantage of Zhi Li having nowhere to borrow strength, Naka raised his hand and flicked. Five Kunai cut through the air, heading straight for Zhi Li's chest.
With a soft "Chi" sound, the Kunai shot a passing butterfly into pieces, the faint blue debris fell like leaves, but Zhi Li easily dodged it.
"There's still time to turn back, if you have the will... then take my hand."
Zhi Li stopped fleeing, she seemed to have dropped all defenses, and directly extended her palm towards Naka.
Damn it, what's wrong with this woman? Naka's mind raced, his mind was filled with doubts, but instinct still made him firm in his killing intent: "I won't be deceived by your tricks!"
However, Zhi Li actually walked over step by step, her scarlet eyes full of sincerity.
Naka's expression was solemn, and he unconsciously clenched his teeth. In his eyes, Zhi Li at this moment was full of flaws, and it seemed that only one slash was needed to end her life.
"Damn it!" Naka decisively swung his sword, the sharp blade tore through Zhi Li's chest, the blood was scalding hot, splashing like ink.
With a "Bang" sound, Zhi Li's body turned into two sections of round wood, causing Naka to fall into a brief daze.
"Substitution Jutsu? When did she..."
Zhi Li's real body silently appeared behind Naka, which was the blind spot in his vision.
She quickly drew out the second long sword, her left pupil rotated lightly, her body became incomparably light in an instant, her agility was enhanced, and the whole person seemed to blend into the wind.
"If you won't listen to my advice no matter what, then I have my resolve!"
The wooden stake landed, making a crisp sound. When Naka reacted and hurriedly turned his head, Zhi Li had already flashed behind him. The speed that erupted in an instant was simply shocking!
The blade light tore through the air, and the figures of the two crossed paths.
Naka looked stunned, a chill came from his chest, followed by a heart-wrenching sting, he missed!
Zhi Li is indeed the strongest in the Police Force, this skilled swordsmanship far exceeds him, the Clan Head!
But... he hasn't lost yet!
