NOVEL NEXT Chapter 44: Bloody Rampage
The commotion continued for a minute, the massive winds blowing away some of the sorcerers while the swarm of crows and snakes, frightened nearly everyone else, but when the dust settled, the elders of the Zen'in clan all lifted their heads into a particular direction in the wake of sensing the new cursed energy that had just infiltrated the grounds.
And there he was, dressed in his signature black robe with red cloud imprints and a spiral mask, atop a rather large tree, staring down at the enemies below...
This was war...
His face hidden underneath the spiral mask, Sasuke quickly scanned through the figures of Jujutsu sorcerers and Zen'in clan warriors and elders, amongst them was his own father and others, who were ready to tear him apart, all of them numbering up to more than 50.
That wasn't just all, even without his Sharingan, he could sense the heaviness of the atmosphere within the mountain range, a pressure that oozed from dozens of foreign cursed energy signals that had were intricately arranged into some kind of a diamond formation around the mountain range...
The Zen'in clan seemed to have gone all out, even bringing out decade and century old talismans to lock down the entire battlefield just to make sure he wouldn't escape..
His pupils narrowed however, when he spotted the semi unconscious and bloodied prisoner that had been chained to a large tree awaiting execution. As if the prisoner could feel his gaze on him, she slowly lifted her head, revealing a bloodied face, as she mouthed a couple of words, that only he could understand. - " give them Hell."
"We hope you're quite satisfied with the reception for this little party.. We wished we could've done more for you, trust me.."
Out of nowhere, the handsome thirty something year old man who was dressed in grey robes with the menacing stitch like scar on his forehead spoke out, his tone tinged with a little bit of regret.
Sasuke's eyes lingered on the fellow for a bit, especially that scar on his forehead, knowing what it represented, yet he did not rush to conclusion. Instead, he slowly took off his mask, revealing his expressionless and youthful face to the audience.
"It really is you! You wretched vermin!! I should've ended your life while you were in your mother's womb!!"
Fugaku Zen'in, Sasuke's father lifted up his countenance to his son and roared out in a righteous fury, glaring murderously at the abomination and disgrace his offspring had become.
Yet, Sasuke was indignant to his father's righteous roars, as his eyes remained fixed on the man with the scar and the evil smirk on his face.
"Luckily for us, the mercenary world was pleased to join hands to take you down..."
With these words, dozens upon dozens upon dozens of armed figures walked out of the bushes, with menacing smiles on their faces, garbed in mercenary uniforms from Q, and even the Star Religious group, numbering close to three hundred after a quick scan. With this even Sasuke couldn't help but take in a deep long breath.
"Come on, even you have to be impressed by now. We needed all the help we could get....
At this point, even I would wonder to myself. The family I was born in, are now life long enemies with me. The mercernary group I thought I could trust was now here to kill me. I would be completely driven mad by the solitude. It's you against the world...."
Sasuke frowned and squinted his eyes. Did he know this fellow? He didn't think so. He had never even met the fellow in his life, yet he seemed to harbor some sort of grievance towards him.
Taking his attention off the man for a moment, Sasuke closed his eyes and took in a deep breath, his eyes sharp, as he scanned every single person who was here to tear him apart.
"Haha. Is that nervousness I'm sensing, young one? Sweating already?"
Naobito Zen'in who was nonchalantly seated on a tree branch with his jug of wine jumped down with a teasing smirk on his face as he regarded the solemn looking youth.
'Sweat?'
Sasuke raised a brow and cupped his cheek with his palm only to see a drop of water trickling down his face. His body shook in response and his eyes widened for a moment..
"I'm sweating? Am I nervous?"
He uttered to himself in disbelief, but a moment later, he felt multiple cold trickles of water drizzling down on him, and with that he finally broke his silence, letting out a rigourous laugh.
"Hahahaha!!! Me?! Nervous? You fools could never make me sweat!!"
An extreme amount of cursed energy burst out of his body, with the sudden revelation, causing a massive shockwave to explode forth with his figure as epicenter.
"Well, then. You're charged as it is. Let's get this over with!!"
*SLASH!!!*
Before anyone could even react, the handsome robed man grabbed a blade from out of nowhere and with a swing, it ripped into the abdomen of the prisoner, as blood spurted out immensely, while her seemingly lifeless yet smiling corpse crashed into the ground.
"No!!!"
Sasuke who was caught in a sort of revelation snapped out of his reverie, and roared madly, like a wounded feral beast. In that moment, it was as if the wrath of a devil had descended onto the earth.
A nigh infinite cursed energy burst out of his body once more, as he collapsed to his knees on the tree branch, which slowly morphed into an endless number of black crows that flooded the skies, cawing relentlessly, blocking the sun itself and throwing off the entire mountain range into a state of perpetual darkness.
No one had any idea why the sudden phenomenom occured. Even Sasuke had no idea. Before, the crows and snakes he summoned were as a result of the sharingan's illusions, yet majority of these ones were summons, much like his demonic snake God Aoda, and they appeared without even the system's notification.
Perhaps it was his own way of coping with the sudden loss of his only friend, or a transition from one level of power to another catalysed by his rage. He had no idea yet there was only one thing on his mind - kill!

Sasuke spotted the system's notification, yet he paid no heed, being solemnly and dead eye focused on the robe wearing man that had just stabbed Mei to death.
*BOOOM!*
His figure dropped from above like a meteor, smashing into the solid ground, causing a quake. His bloody Sharingan revolved within his sockets, as he unsheathed the Kusanagi on his back and zoomed towards the enemies bathed in purple lightning.
"Kill him!!!"
With a roar from the Zen'in clanhead, the mercenaries swooped in first about 50 of them on the first go, unsheathing their weapons and rushing towards the incoming figure, with resounding war cries that shook the area.
However...
*BANG!*
The reality of their situation soon dawned on them when a hand wrapped in lightning ripped into the heart of the first victim, sending spurts of blood that splashed onto their bodies. The victim's body soon exploded into a rain of blood of gore, as all the mercenaries looked on in shock.
The killer, Sasuke on the other hand took a step at a time, head hung low,face dead calm, Sharingan glowing with veins popping inside of them. Add that to a blood soaked figure, and he resembled a demon from Hell, drawing fear in the hearts of the mercenaries who faced him.
Without hesitation, his cursed energy bubbled forth, and his body seemingly exploded into a rain of crows that scattered forth, but in a split second materialized within the midst of the 50 plus mercenaries, gripping tightly onto the Kusanagi.
*SLASH!*
*SLASH!*
He showed no mercy. He was heartless. The blade moved around like the scythe of the grim reaper, harvesting lives with each swing. Soon decapitated body parts began soaring in the air, as a blood mist blanketed the atmosphere along with screams of plea, yet the bloodied Sasuke was numb to the loud cries...
