Chapter 166: One After Another Takes the Stage
Fifteen years later
Time flies, fifteen years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the year 816 of the Renli era has quietly arrived.
Over the past decade
The Senju clan suffered a sudden and devastating blow as their leader was killed, leaving the clan leaderless.
They had no choice but to send an urgent request for help to their ally, the Vortex Clan.
The Uzumaki clan has a long-standing bond with the Senju clan through generations of marriage alliances.
The marriage policy implemented in the early years has long bound the fates of the two races together. In addition, the daughters of many elders of the Whirlpool have married far away to the Thousand Hands, becoming a bond connecting the two races by blood.
Regardless of the situation or their own interests, the Uzumaki clan had no choice but to immediately reorganize their forces and land to reinforce the Senju clan.
For a time, the Uchiha clan faced the combined forces of the Senju and Uzumaki alone, and the three ninjas engaged in a fierce and chaotic battle on the battlefield.
In the same year, Uchiha Tajima got married and officially entered a new stage of his adult life.
In the dead of night, a torrential downpour
The torrential rain lashed down, washing away the bricks and tiles of the houses on the Uchiha clan's land.
The world was shrouded in a thick, misty rain.
Painful groans came from Tajima's wife, Arashi.
"Oh dear, oh dear..."
Uchiha Tajima paced anxiously back and forth in the corridor, oblivious to the rain soaking his clothes.
At this time, Odajima had long since shed his youthful naiveté and grown into a tall and handsome adult ninja.
His features combined the sharpness of Madara later in life with the gentleness of Izuna, making him a recognized handsome man in the clan.
"Grandpa! Grandpa, what should we do? Lan Yue has been having a difficult childbirth. If... if she and her unborn child die, what will I do?!"
Uchiha Tajima strode up to Manji and said in a trembling voice.
Wanci, standing to the side, remained calm and composed, his expression undisturbed.
"Calm down, Tajima, don't say such unlucky things. I just performed a divination for the person in the delivery room, and it says that this delivery will be safe and sound, though it may be a close call."
Wan Ci said slowly.
"Grandpa, how can you be so sure? I'm really worried!"
Tajima still couldn't hide his eagerness.
"Of course, I'm absolutely confident." Wanci nodded slightly.
Wan Ci sighed inwardly. If there were any unexpected events, he could easily resolve the crisis with his abilities. This little setback was nothing to worry about.
After hearing his grandfather's words, Tajima finally felt a little relieved.
Although I don't understand what my grandfather meant by divination.
But I know that divination is something that predicts good or bad fortune.
Grandpa has always been a master strategist, never making a mistake. Since Grandpa is so certain, then Lan Yue and the child in her womb will surely be able to safely overcome this calamity.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Tajima felt a little better.
Wanci slowly raised his eyes, his deep gaze piercing through the heavy rain as he looked towards the eastern horizon.
"It's finally coming... Madara Uchiha is about to be born, and Uchiha Chen is probably reaching the end of his destiny..."
Wanci pondered to himself.
It is impossible for each generation of Indra to exist in the world simultaneously.
Only when the previous reincarnation completely perishes will the power of Indra belonging to the next generation find a new vessel and complete the cycle of destiny.
Now, the next Indra reincarnation, Uchiha Madara, is about to be born, which means that Uchiha Chen, as the reincarnation of this Indra, is destined to reach the end of his life.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield thousands of miles away.
The rain also poured down!
The dense curtain of rain blurred the view.
"Splash... splash..."
Two figures faced each other from a distance.
Uchiha Chen and Uzumaki clan leader Uzumaki You have already exchanged hundreds of blows. Their strengths are evenly matched, and their chakra consumption is enormous. For a time, they are locked in a stalemate, with neither able to gain the upper hand.
"Uchiha Chen, retreat immediately! My Uzumaki clan had no intention of penetrating deep into Uchiha territory. As long as you Uchiha cease your attack on the Senju clan, my Uzumaki army will withdraw immediately and will not linger!"
Whirlpool stood in the rain and shouted coldly at Uchiha Chen opposite him.
But what he received in return was Uchiha Chen's sharp and decisive counterattack without hesitation!
"Amaterasu!"
Accompanied by Uchiha Chen's deep shout
A jet-black, inextinguishable flame suddenly appeared out of nowhere, carrying a terrifying heat capable of burning everything, and rushed straight towards the vortex!
Rainwater fell on the Amaterasu flames and was instantly evaporated into a white mist.
"Damn it, it's that inextinguishable flame again!"
"Sealing Technique: Adamantine Lockdown!"
Whirlpool Yu's expression changed drastically.
Instantly activating the power of his vortex bloodline, countless golden chakra chains appeared from his body!
Layer upon layer of chains blocked the flames in front of them, forcefully resisting Amaterasu's burning. The sizzling sound of chains colliding with the black fire was incessant.
On the other side, Uchiha Chen tightly covered his eyes, his body trembling slightly in the cold rain, desperately trying to withstand the depletion of Amaterasu's eye power.
He knew the condition of his eyes better than anyone else. Years of overusing the Sharingan's power had already taken a toll on his eyes.
If he chooses to back down this time, and his eyes become completely blind in the future, he will never have another chance to fight against the Allied Forces, and the Uchiha's battle situation will be completely passive.
"Damn it, you forced me to this. Looks like I have no choice but to use that..."
Whirlpool sighed deeply.
Seeing that Uchiha Chen was determined and would never turn back even if he crashed into a wall, Uzumaki Yu's last thought of persuading him to make peace completely vanished.
As the patriarch of the Whirlpool Clan, he was prepared to sacrifice everything for the safety of his clan from the very beginning of his tenure.
Each generation of the Uzumaki clan leader inherits and practices the forbidden technique, Corpse Demon Sealing Technique.
This was the Whirlpool Clan Chief's last trump card, used when the clan faced annihilation and was outmatched in strength.
The ultimate power capable of turning the tide of battle and causing mutual destruction!
"Sealing Technique: Corpse Demon Sealing!"
With a roar, Yuu exhausted all his chakra and used his own soul as a catalyst to forcibly summon the legendary Grim Reaper!
A sinister and terrifying phantom of a death god, wielding a long sword, slowly materialized in the rain, emanating a chilling aura of death, its icy gaze fixed intently on Uchiha Chen!
The temperature across the entire battlefield plummeted!
When I heard the corpse demon seal
Instead of panicking, Uchiha Chen slowly curled his lips into a relieved smile—this was exactly the ending he wanted!
If this prolonged exertion continues, he, who is already suffering from eye problems, will most likely die from exhaustion in the end.
Uzumaki Yuzuru of the Uzumaki clan is likely only seriously injured.
But when the vortex activated the Corpse Demon Sealing Technique, it was clear that he intended to perish together with him!
To sacrifice his own life to eliminate the Uzumaki clan leader and maximize the Uchiha clan's advantage in the battle was a worthwhile sacrifice.
"Dead Demon Sealing..."
As the Grim Reaper swung his long sword down, the two figures froze on the spot, their chakra aura completely dissipating!
Uchiha Chen and Uzumaki Yu both perished in this cold, torrential rain.
After their deaths, a wisp of pure energy phantom floated up from each of their bodies.
The power of Indra and Asura...
One then sped off towards the western Uchiha clan territory, while the other drifted away towards the east.

Within the Uchiha clan.
Wanci suddenly looked up at the sky.
I could clearly feel the immense power belonging to Indra, which was rapidly flying towards the territory of his clan.
"It's finally over..."
Wanci gazed at the distant horizon shrouded in rain and let out a soft sigh.
"You've worked hard, Chen. See you in the Pure Land..."
