Chapter 84 : Ice Release

The sound, though seemingly subdued, possessed a far-reaching quality, akin to a whisper directly in the ear. Having just witnessed Uchiha Natsu's recent battle, Mōryō surmised that Uchiha Natsu's most formidable attack method lay in his combined ninjutsu. The extensive use of shadow clones and the exertion involved hinted at its potency. However, Mōryō, armed with the power of sprites, believed he could easily match or surpass it. Despite acknowledging Uchiha Natsu's strength to some extent, Mōryō remained confident in his own superiority.

Upon hearing these words, an abrupt jump in the hearts of those on the high wall betrayed their deep concern. Uchiha Natsu, on the other hand, sported a subtle smirk. Meanwhile, his main body, having retreated underground and covered hundreds of meters, emerged from the earth. The next moment, a resounding palm struck the ground.

"Summoning Jutsu!"

With a puff of smoke, a colossal bear materialized before Uchiha Natsu. Witnessing the transformed Big Grey, Uchiha Natsu was momentarily taken aback. Since its initial enhancement, Uchiha Natsu hadn't summoned Big Grey, and the bear had undergone a remarkable metamorphosis. Despite a different hairstyle, with tufts of hair standing on its forehead, the overall size and musculature had increased significantly. 

Triumphantly raising its head, Bear remained silent. Uchiha Natsu gestured towards the battlefield, instructing, "Go and kill the one who is installing the fork." Though seemingly disheartened, Big Grey nodded and, with a swift "whoosh," transformed into a lightning bolt, disappearing instantly. Faint crackling sounds of thunder accompanied its departure.

Under the high wall, Mōryō retained a calm demeanor and spoke casually, "You have great potential; why don't you join us? I can accept you to work under me." Uchiha Natsu responded with a light smile, indifferent to the proposal.

At that moment, a thunderous figure rushed to the battlefield. Big Grey, upon arrival, directed its bear eyes towards Uchiha Natsu. After a brief pause, it turned its fierce gaze towards Mōryō. Before Mōryō could react, Big Grey roared and lunged at an incredible speed.

Caught off guard, Mōryō felt the powerful lightning-wrapped paw of Big Grey strikes his chest. His eyes widened, bloodshot, as intense lightning invaded his body. The overwhelming force left Mōryō in darkness, followed by a sensation of weightlessness. Before he could recover, Big Grey unleashed a ball of lightning, reminiscent of "Tail Beast Jade," slamming into Mōryō.

"Ah!"

A scream escaped Mōryō before consciousness abandoned him. Big Grey, triumphant, roared into the sky, a thunderous sound that sent shivers down the spines of those on the high wall. The once calm and collected Mōryō, now at the mercy of the ferocious bear, had become the embodiment of terror.

Fortunately, Big Grey showed no intention of attacking the onlookers. Instead, it glanced at Uchiha Natsu's shadow clone, then swiftly ran to Mōryō, picking him up in its mouth. However, Da Hui's expression turned to disgust, suggesting an unpleasant taste. Regardless, the bear used all four claws, hastening away.

To bystanders, it appeared as though the bear, driven by hunger, had come across two prey. A swift and casual act of killing, followed by the bear carrying away its chosen meal. Unfortunately, Mōryō became the unfortunate victim. The witch attempted to use sealing techniques to no avail, and spectators on the high wall watched, bemused.

With Big Grey's departure, the sense of victory settled among the onlookers. Uchiha Natsu noticed Da Hui's retreat, calmly turned around and leaped onto the high wall. A moment later, the soldiers erupted in cheers, celebrating their hard-won victory, largely credited to Uchiha Natsu's team.

In the midst of the celebration, Uchiha Natsu, a representative of Konoha, could foresee the benefits of being supported by the country of ghosts in future trade negotiations. Money, a crucial factor in this world, could now be obtained more freely.

While Uchiha Natsu's shadow clone soaked in the cheers, his main body remained concealed a thousand meters away. Anticipating Hyuga Rena's scrutiny with her eyes, Uchiha Natsu strategically stayed out of sight.

Soon after, a gray shadow passed by, and Big Grey returned like a lightning bolt. Executing an emergency stop, Big Grey halted accurately in front of Uchiha Natsu. Spitting out the corpse, Big Grey displayed a flattering expression.

"Good job," Uchiha Natsu commended, patting Bear's nose in affirmation. Subsequently, he retrieved a porcelain bottle containing the second bottle of pills.

The hundreds of corpses collected on the battlefield had never been exchanged for Pills, leaving only three bottles. One from the first bottle had been given to Uchiha Tiehuo before Uchiha Natsu departed.

After careful consideration, Uchiha Natsu decided against giving Big Grey a Pill. Considering the bear's potential enhancement through the system and the precious nature of the Pill, it didn't seem justifiable.

Quietly, Uchiha Natsu stored away the Pill, dispelled the psychic spell, and brought the corpse to the ground. Simultaneously, he released the other four corpses from the scroll.

Rubbing his hands together, Uchiha Natsu pressed on Mōryō's corpse, initiating the familiar sounds of the store.

[The corpse score revealed 74 points, with a credit rating bonus of 10 points, totaling 84 points.]

[Choosing to receive the trade item]

Uchiha Natsu anxiously awaited the result.

Once again, the sound of typing on the keyboard echoed.

[Obtained a new blood succession limit: Ice escape.]
