At a small unimportant village about eight miles away from the mountain where Kuroto and Ryota were fighting.
Inside an Izakaya, a four-man team of shinobi passing through this village was taking a short break, while having some rest, one of the ninjas of the team looking at the night sky through the glass window sill suddenly frowned, to confirm what he saw, he leaped out of the window and jumped on top of the roof, and gazed towards the distance mountain intently.
Noticing his actions, even the other members of the team also jumped on top of the roof one by one.
And soon everyone found one golden light and one cyan light flickering across the distant horizon.
The team of shinobi was unable to judge what exactly caused the flickering of lights because of the large distance and the cover of mountains so no one could figure out the exact cause of the glow to appear too.
One of the shinobi muttered, "Could it be possible that those lights are generated by fireworks?"
Another one said, "Could be possible. But if I remember correctly that mountain is pretty isolated so I don't think there was any settlement nearby that mountain."
The third shinobi who was looking at the map said solemnly, "You are right, there is not a single commercial road passing nearby that mountain, let alone a village or town even small settlements are not there."
In the shinobi world, Land of Fire is believed to be the richest and most stable of all nations, and this is true even when it comes to the economics of the nation and for this reason most of the villages, towns, and settlements that don't try to particularly isolate or hide for whatever reasons are settled nearby the commercial roads.
Since no commercial road passes by that mountainous region, so the possibility of a settlement being built there is less likely.
And the possibility of a grand fireworks display in places where there are no settlements built is obviously very less, therefore, everyone immediately reacted at those solemn words and understood that those lights are probably a result of powerful shinobi confronting each other.
Although no one can understand why a fight between shinobi would generate such strong light that its traces are even visible miles away, what's more concerning is the identity of the shinobi in that confrontation.
Konoha may have put their hunting operation on a halt because of obtaining no result for the past two months but this does not mean that the shinobi have lost their vigilance against Amatsukami, now everyone is more than ever clear that Amatsukami is not a simple bounty-nin organization and has to be dealt with extreme caution.
Therefore, all shinobi have been ordered that they must pay close attention to any signs leading to Amatsukami during all their missions, secure that intelligence, and submit it carefully.
The Captain of the team thought for a while and finally ordered, "Fire the signal flares!"
Bang… whiiissstttlleeeee... Boom…
Bang… whiiissstttlleeeee... Boom…
Bang… whiiissstttlleeeee... Boom…
Bang… whiiissstttlleeeee... Boom…
Four signal flares were fired simultaneously, this will surely allow other ninjas to discover their positions.
…
Kuroto's side.
Seeing that Uchiha Ryota was using the Full Body Susanoo, Kuroto immediately printed the hand seals, and this time his entire body was covered with the Tenseigan Chakra Cloak, and the very next instant seven truth-seeking orbs appeared behind him.
Kuroto transformed two of the black balls and formed a protective wall that defended against the attacks of the Full-Body Susanoo's Chakra Blades.
Boom… Boom… Boom… Boom…
Attacks after attacks kept on coming but not even a single one of them could get past the defense of the Black Wall.
Although the Golden-Orange Chakra Sword was extremely strong and as hot as the Sun itself, it was still nothing in the face of Truth-Seeking Orb's defense.
Each attack that landed on the defense wall broke that chakra sword, splashing flames all over the mountain, immediately igniting the whole mountain in a sea of golden flames.
One more attack failed, and Ryota crouched in the diamond cavity of the Full-Body Susanoo, all while he was spurting out large amounts of blood, his coughing was even harder than previously, but he didn't care, he must kill that bastard.
At this time, Kuroto waved his hand, remove the black wall from the front, and calmly observed Ryota's state.
The unrestrained use of all the Mangekyou techniques at the same time is obviously not easy for Ryota, and this could clearly be seen, Kuroto could perceive that Ryota was sacrificing his vitality to continue maintaining the Susanoo, so he was dying faster than ever.
The situation has developed to such a point and given the fact that Ryota is pushing himself to such an extent despite understanding that he will die, so such a result is inevitable.
Kuroto can be sure that he doesn't even need to attack anymore, just dodge, defend and parry against the attacks, and within just a few seconds Ryota's vitality will burn out completely as a result he will die.
But Kuroto isn't going to go with that option, this is because he also noticed that Signal Flare fired just a second ago, which means that the battle here has been detected by some passing shinobi and this news will soon reach the ears of Konoha authorities and within a few minutes hordes of shinobi will be coming here, so if the battle site is not cleared as early as possible then Kuroto will have too many troubles.
Secondly, the fusion of the two Mangekyou Sharingan pairs into eternal Mangekyou Sharingan might also require Ryota's input, therefore, Ryota's use has not been finished yet, so Kuroto does not want him to die so early.
For these many reasons, Kuroto did not delay any longer and without any more wait, he directed the nine truth-seeking orbs in his right hand, three of the nine-truth seeking orbs merged together to form a much larger orb, then the remaining six orbs too merged into pairs of two orbs each as a result forming three large orbs. Under Kuroto's control, the resultant four were circling upon his hand following the pattern of a planetary system.
Next, Kuroto transferred all the Tenseigan chakra surrounding him towards his right hand, as a result, each of these truth-seeking orbs changed their color to Azure color and they further inflated to the size of a small tailed beast bomb, making them extremely deadly.
"Azure Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
(Translator's Note: The appearance is similar to Naruto's Planetary Rasengan, each ball being around the same size as a small tailed beast bomb, and the color is Azure Blue.)
With a soft murmur, Kuroto threw the entire planetary system type attack towards the Full Body Susanoo.
On the other side, Ryota also got up and shouted, "I… I am going to show you the consequences of offending an Uchiha!"
With the last battle cry, Ryota directed all his chakra towards the four swords held by the four arms of his Susanoo, each sword was at least two hundred meters and the golden flames were also transferred creating a high-temperature coating over the four swords.
Finally, the Susanoo armor also started spinning in a drilling motion and rushed towards the incoming Planetary Azure Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.
The Planetary Balls were continuously inflating as they went closer to the incoming Susanoo.
Looking at Ryota coming towards the Planetary balls, Kuroto had a look of pity for him, this is because Kuroto is sure that no matter how much Ryota tries he wouldn't be able to resist this attack.
And just as Kuroto expected, the final collision between the two attacks took place, as soon as the two attacks collided, a battle for the hegemony started, but this battle was very short and was soon concluded as Planetary Orbs easily overpowered that four swords drills and soon engulfed the Susanoo body in it.
"This would be the end of it." –With Kuroto's murmur, the Planetary Balls that have engulfed the entire Susanoo body making a wave-like motion around the Susanoo body as well as the entire mountain.
Inside that massive and turbulent wave-like vortex, the Susanoo did not pose any resistance and was completely shredded without leaving any fragment behind.
But that wasn't the end of it, followed by the Susanoo, the entire mountain was engulfed by the turbulent vortex, and soon enough due to an extremely large amount of energy and no one controlling it, the vortex grew too unstable and soon caused an extremely large explosion.
BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!
The explosion was so large that the altitude it covered stretched up to several kilometers in the sky and quite deep into the ground as well. But strangely enough, the radius of the explosion was not too large and only stretched up to the radius of several hundred meters.
However, due to the high altitude it covered, the explosion was clearly visible from several miles away.
The light and sound produced by the explosion were also quite lethal, as all the people blown away by the resulting terrible wind pressure generated due to the explosion and could only hear their ears buzzing for the next few minutes.
After who knows how long, the dust finally cleared and Kuroto could clearly observe the situation.
At this time, a pit; hundreds of meters deep was left in place of the mountain and Uchiha Ryota lied in the center of that pit, battered and bruised, blood flowing out of all his wounds, his appearance was also aged.
Ryota's eyes were lifelessly gaping at the sky, and seeing Hyuga Kuroto arrive next to him, he can't help but ask, "Why did I lose?"
Kuroto did not bother to answer, because he understood that this question Ryota did not ask him, but asked from himself.
Receiving no answer, Ryota did not bother to speak anything more and soon lost his consciousness.
With this over, Kuroto immediately removed Ryota's Mangekyou Sharingan, put them into another small nutrition tank, and stored the small nutrition tank inside a storage scroll.
After putting the storage scroll inside his ninja bag; Kuroto lifted the fainted Ryota using Rein Wheel Pull and then walked towards Hideki who was also lying unconscious not far away.
Next Kuroto observed the entire battle site to see if anything that would point to him through the grape wine was left, although he has already removed all the traces from the mountain beforehand, you can never be too careful, so after checking that nothing was left, Kuroto finally breathed a sigh of relief as his objective of this entire ordeal was finally completed.
With nothing more left to do, Kuroto printed the hand seals, and the very next moment both he and the unconscious brothers disappeared from the battlefield leaving nothing more than a cloud of white smoke.
