Chapter 16: Chapter 16: The White Moon God
Gu Xingxi executed "Moon Breathing, Sixth Form: The Lonely Moon of the Long Night – Seamless."
With his Nichirin Sword, Gu Xingxi launched six large moon blades interspersed with smaller ones, targeting the ninjas from the Hidden Rain Village.
As Gu Xingxi utilized his 3D maneuver gear in mid-air, the moon blades did not endanger his allies.
Some Rain Village ninjas tried to defend against the moon blades with Earth Release: Earth Flow Walls, but while the smaller blades were blocked, the large ones pierced through, relentlessly striking the defenders.
Some of the Hidden Rain Village ninjas cried out in dismay, "What kind of Earth Flow Wall crumbles like paper before him? Lord Hanzo, save us!"
Far off, Hanzo, who was engaged with the Three Sannin of the Leaf, turned at the call and witnessed a sight he would never forget.
The large and small moon blades were reaping the lives of Hidden Rain Village ninjas.
Witnessing this, Hanzo quickly disengaged from the Sannin and rushed to aid his ninjas, trying to save whoever he could, given the already limited manpower of the Hidden Rain Village.
Hanzo managed to intercept all the large moon blades and some of the smaller ones, but still, several ninjas fell to the relentless attack. Looking back, the scene was devastating, with almost all the medical ninjas wiped out.
Hanzo glared at Gu Xingxi furiously but retained his composure, realizing the exceptional toughness and lethality of the moon blades. He found it hard to believe that such a weapon was wielded by an eight-year-old, appearing more like a feat of sorcery than ninjutsu.
Hanzo growled venomously, "Brat, I will definitely kill you, remember that."
Then he shouted, "All forces, retreat!" Hearing the command, the Hidden Rain Village ninjas quickly withdrew.
Meanwhile, the Leaf Village side's morale soared as they cheered, "Victory in the first battle belongs to the Leaf!"
Gu Xingxi, the pivotal figure in the battle, was hoisted up amidst loud cheers.
The title "White Moon God" was bestowed upon him, and from that moment, the name Gu Xingxi became known throughout the ninja world.
Sitting in the main camp, Danzo Shimura received the report that Gu Xingxi was a member of the Uchiha clan, his face darkened with fury.
Danzo declared, "This man must be eliminated, both for my path to becoming Hokage and to prevent him from becoming another Madara."
In contrast, the Hidden Rain Village suffered heavy casualties and low morale. Hanzo, filled with rage, regretted not having killed Gu Xingxi. The loss of nearly all their medical ninjas, as well as many lower and middle-ranked ninjas, added to the village's already dire straits.
Hanzo commanded, "Write everything down—the Uchiha's exceptional sword techniques, the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, the flying device, the 'White Moon God'—and send it to the black market for a bounty."
Meanwhile, Gu Xingxi, unaware of the developments beyond his new title, checked Shouko for injuries. Fortunately, she only had minor scratches.
Orochimaru approached Gu Xingxi and commented, "You have many secrets I'm not aware of. Can I know them?"
Gu Xingxi responded, "Of course, Lord Orochimaru. What would you like to know?"
"Let's discuss it back at the camp during the meeting," Orochimaru suggested.
"Sure," Gu Xingxi agreed, ready to reveal his secrets since he wasn't afraid of exposure, considering Danzo merely a footnote.
Back at the camp, a meeting was convened with Danzo, the current head of the Nara clan, Shikaku Nara, and various Jonin including the Legendary Sannin and Danzo present.
Danzo demanded, "Uchiha Gu Xingxi, report all the weapons, ninjutsu, and those peculiar moon blades you used, without hiding anything, or else."
Gu Xingxi retorted, "Elder, I am a hero who has won a battle. Isn't it improper for you to threaten me now?"
