Forest near the Uchiha Clan Territory.
"Wh-what's going on?"
Orochimaru lunged forward, staring in disbelief at the disappearing pool of blood beneath Tong Ren, somewhat incredulous.
He examined Tong Ren's chest, but the bloody wound had vanished, and even his clothes were as clean as new, as if everything just now had been an illusion.
"Tong Ren... he..."
"He's alive." Nian stared fixedly at Tong Ren's face, the tear tracks at the corners of his eyes not yet dry. "It's a miracle, his soul has returned."
"That's great!" Orochimaru was astonished, his pupils gleaming with the joy of a friend's resurrection, and also with deep shock. "What kind of method is this! It's miraculous, simply miraculous!"

At this moment, although Tong Ren was still unconscious, he had regained his breathing, and his heartbeat was slow and strong.
Just then, the grass and trees rustled, and the slight sound of footsteps instantly alerted Orochimaru. He drew a Kunai with a wary expression. "Who is it?"
Kakuzu walked out first, and Orochimaru breathed a sigh of relief the moment he saw him.
Back then, that senior subdued this black-faced strongman in front of the three of them, and not to mention that, this man's miraculous immortality had also given his young heart a great shock.
Nian looked over at the sound. In fact, he had already noticed the traces of these two. Seeing Kakuzu, he immediately understood where the miracle of resurrection came from.
He held Tong Ren's body, looking up with some joy, his eyes frequently looking behind Kakuzu and Light, but both his eyes and brain were telling him that there was no one there.
"Shin'yu's order, we have to take the Tong Ren brat away."
Kakuzu said in a muffled voice, concise and to the point.
"Take him away? Take him where?" Nian immediately asked.
"That's not something you should consider." Kakuzu raised his arm, and the sutures on his wrist began to separate, with Black Line tentacles entangling Tong Ren's body.
Since it was the senior's order, Nian didn't dare to stop him, allowing Tong Ren to be taken away by the tentacles and carried on Kakuzu's shoulder.
"If the internal strife of the Uchiha is not eliminated, he will always be in danger. As Uchiha Chiri's Younger Brother, those who are hostile to Zhi Li will not easily let him go." Light said softly, her voice gentle and light.
"Does this senior mean that someone in the Uchiha wants to harm Zhi Li?" Orochimaru asked tentatively.
Light nodded slightly. "That's right, and it's not just one person, but faking his death to escape may not be a bad opportunity to save his life."
Nian understood instantly, but suddenly hesitated for a moment. "What about Zhi Li then?"
"Remember, Uchiha Kirito is dead, he died in today's attack. This matter can be known to you two, or it can be known to no one." Kakuzu said coldly. "Shin'yu's intention."
Nian and Orochimaru exchanged glances, shrinking their necks in unison.
"Since it's the senior's intention, we will naturally cooperate." Nian nodded.
After the two finished explaining, they used the Body Flicker Technique to leave.
Nian thought for a while, clasped his hands together, and vines spread out from his body, slowly converging on the other side, eventually turning into a life-size wooden sculpture of Uchiha Kirito. A knife wound was cracked at the chest of the wooden sculpture, vividly recreating the fatal injury.
"Ha!" He shouted softly, and the wooden sculpture immediately turned flesh-colored, and a Corpse lay in the center of the field.
Before long, many figures fell from all directions, surrounding the two in the center.
He gave Orochimaru a look, and the two of them composed themselves, their expressions becoming somber.
...
Yellow sand filled the sky, the scorching sun hung high. Noon was the hottest time in the Gobi Desert.
The already sparse bushes pitifully withered their leaves, allowing the hot wind to blow them from side to side. Lizards lazily lay beside the pebbles, too lazy to even flick their tongues, simply blending into the ochre earth.
The scorching sun baked the desert, as if to evaporate and strip away all moisture.
Perhaps because it was sparsely populated, the terrain here was quite unrestrained, with uneven ravines and not even a decent road, making it a completely uninhabited area.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be anyone here.
But at this moment, the space somewhere suddenly twisted, countless rectangular frames folded and flipped, forming a jet-black hole. Two figures appeared simultaneously, and the hole closed.
Blinding sunlight, scorching air currents, and thin water vapor. Shin'yu's vision changed, and in an instant, he went from a lush green forest to a yellow sand desert. Although he immediately adapted to the environment, he was still a little annoyed by this sudden spatial teleportation.
"Uchiha Shin'yu, here, don't even think about—"
Black energy surged, turning into a thick arm that slapped Otsutsuki Urashiki, who had just stood firm, flying away.
"Where did you bring me?"
Shin'yu held his Guardian God Sword in one hand and placed the other behind his back, levitating in the air like Urashiki. Although it was difficult, he still absorbed a small amount of moisture from the hot desert.
Urashiki was a little annoyed. Although this punch from Susanoo contained the power to split mountains and rocks, it wasn't much of a damage to him, but the insult... was great.
He had traveled the stars for thousands of years and had never been slapped in the face!
"Uchiha Shin'yu, I'm here to kill you. Today, this place will be your burial ground!"
"It's really a credit to you for thinking of this step, but, the only thing I can praise you for is this." Shin'yu suddenly flicked his hand, and the Guardian God Sword pierced through the air, dragging a scorching black flame, and shot in front of Urashiki in an instant.
"So fast!"
Urashiki was slightly startled. In a hurry, he didn't have time to dodge, so he could only raise his Fishing Rod to meet it. A crisp metallic clashing sound resounded through the desert.
"Ding!!!!"
He underestimated the power of Shin'yu's flying sword, and his whole body was thrown away by the huge force.
Shin'yu's hand seals changed rapidly, and his palms clapped together with a "pa" sound. He took a deep breath, "Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave!"
A huge amount of water gushed out, but the target was not the sky, but the ground beneath his feet. The amount of water was astonishing, and the terrifying torrent directly blasted a deep pit in the Gobi Desert. Tens of thousands of tons of water fell towards the earth, like a reservoir being opened.
In just a few breaths, the dry desert turned into a turbulent lake, and the climate within a kilometer radius was changed. Even the air was humid and cool, and the water vapor was quite abundant.
"Tch!" Urashiki really didn't want to compete with Shin'yu's brute force. The Rinnegan flashed with blue light, and he immediately transformed into countless paper cranes. The Guardian God Sword lost its target and shot straight into the distance.
Urashiki appeared behind Shin'yu the moment he disappeared, and stabbed his Fishing Rod fiercely into his back. A translucent ripple appeared in the air, but it only lasted for a moment before the Water Molecule Barrier shattered.
However, Shin'yu still didn't dodge or avoid, and didn't even mean to look back, completely ignoring Urashiki.
Such an arrogant posture naturally aroused Urashiki's anger, and pale veins burst out on his arms!
"Die!"
At this moment, a sudden change occurred. An ink-like black energy burst out, forming a monstrous black mist, as if connecting to an endless abyss. In this abyss, a jet-black arm suddenly stretched out and grabbed the red light Fishing Rod.
"Nani!!!" Urashiki's eyes widened as he watched a jet-black figure emerge from the black mist, violently throwing him away.
This figure was short and stout, but its thick limbs appeared strong and powerful. Its entire body was covered in a dense black aura, and its body was armed with heavy, dark-colored armor. Its head was covered with an imposing Crow Tengu mask, and its entire body gleamed with a heavy metallic luster, even distorting the light.
"This is... Susanoo!???"
This was clearly a third-stage Susanoo that had grown legs!
Urashiki was stunned; he had never seen Shin'yu use this technique before.
You're telling me this is Susanoo? But isn't it too small!
This thought came to an abrupt halt, because the third-stage Susanoo displayed astonishing speed. Its jet-black fist, wrapped in the momentum of thunder, slammed heavily onto his red-light Fishing Rod. The Fishing Rod instantly bent into a huge arc, and Urashiki himself was sent flying backward with a bang!
"Wooden Style: Wood Release: World of Trees!"
Shin'yu shouted softly, and the lake beneath him suddenly rippled. Rolling white waves surged, and enormous vines spread across the lake surface, sprouting tender green branches and leaves. Countless giant trees broke through the lake surface one after another, slowly rising a small island in place!
After doing all this, Shin'yu slowly turned his head. As he beckoned, the life-size third-stage Susanoo immediately collapsed. In the dissipating black aura, Urashiki's extremely unsightly face was revealed.
Shin'yu smiled slightly, "Now, the battle begins!"
