# Sea of Fire Covering the Rear!
At the four corners of the Gate of the Underworld, north, south, east, and west, stood four Uchiha clansmen.
One of them was squatting in front of the other three, forming the Tiger Seal with his hands in front of him.
The other three stood to his left, right, and rear, forming a defensive formation.
Their sharp, crimson eyes constantly scanned every minute change in the surrounding environment.
Uchiha Fugaku's team was at the south end, and he personally squatted down, preparing to activate the Barrier Jutsu together.
This was because his eyes were already having difficulty continuing to use Mangekyo Sharingan Dojutsu.
Otherwise, he might go blind on the spot.
This was a fact that Uchiha Fugaku absolutely could not accept.
Not for himself, but for the clan.
The Uchiha Clan was about to join the World Government, this colossus.
This was a stage many times larger than Konoha, or even the entire Ninja World.
And as the current clan leader, he had to use these Mangekyo Sharingan as the clan's foundation.
Even if they could only be used for one or two more Dojutsu at most, it was still a deterrent that could not be ignored.
It was also the support that would allow the Uchiha Clan to quickly establish themselves within the World Government.
"Uchiha Flame Formation!"
"Activate!"
As the four Uchiha ninja squatting on the ground shouted in unison with firm resolve,
Red sparks immediately emerged from the five fingers of their right hands.
They then pressed them heavily onto the ground in front of them, which had been baptized by cannon fire.
The next moment, the raging flame from unknown depths underground was drawn to the surface along the paths formed by chakra, quickly forming four massive crimson Barrier Jutsu.
When they connected, another sealing Barrier Jutsu was generated above.
Thus, whether it was the Gate of the Underworld, or the demons and Oven, Dalmatian, Ay, and others fighting nearby, everyone was trapped within this Uchiha Flame Formation.
"It's finally ready! According to the original plan, retreat!!!"
Vice Admiral Dalmatian, who had just instantly sliced several lower demons in front of him into pieces with his sharp fingers, saw the crimson Barrier Jutsu appearing overhead and immediately roared towards his surroundings.
Without waiting for others, he began to break through the heavy encirclement of the demons.
However, his formidable martial arts level and Armament Haki, as well as the life force and self-healing ability brought by his Zoan Awakening, made this Vice Admiral from Marine Headquarters like a human-shaped heavy tank.
He stubbornly withstood the varied magic attacks, frantically tearing apart any lower or even middle rank demons he encountered along the way.
He single-handedly carved out an incredibly bloody, yet straight path to the outside.
His fierce appearance looked even more demonic than the demons themselves, even causing many demons to feel fear.
The key was... even if Dalmatian was hit by some strange magic effects, they would be blocked by the 'Hardening' of his dark Armament Haki.
If they weren't blocked, he could also consume more Haki to cleanse them completely.
It must be said, Armament Haki was simply too useful against the special abilities of the weak.
It was almost like 'Passive Magic Immunity' + 'Active Purification'.
This was the combat style of the Sea Star People. No matter how flashy your ability was, whether you liked it or not, in the end, you had to rely on a head-on clash, a frontal confrontation to determine victory or defeat.
Unless your ability was stronger than my Haki, then you were impressive!
This made the surrounding demons even more desperate.
At the same time.
Charlotte Oven, Third Raikage Ay, Third Mizukage Eiji Kazahana, and others also took action, seizing the time to break free from the demons' encirclement and quickly ran towards the crimson Barrier Jutsu on the east side.
Among them, Ay's speed was the fastest, flying directly into the air and transforming into an azure light beam that shot out.
When he approached the Barrier Jutsu in the blink of an eye, a 'small gate' large enough to pass through automatically opened below.
This fully demonstrated the level of control the Uchiha ninja had over the Uchiha Flame Formation.
Because the clansmen Uchiha Fugaku had chosen were experts even among Jonin.
The second to pass through was Vice Admiral Dalmatian, the third was Taketori Kunio, the fourth was Daichi Terumi, and the fifth was Eiji Kazahana.
Meanwhile, Charlotte Oven led ten Conquerors to stay behind.
Using surging sea of fire heatwaves and explosive fireballs from light beams, they blocked the approaching great army of demons that surged like a tide.
Charlotte Oven's expression was resolute, the scorching light reflecting on his already crimson face.
He constantly swung his glowing hot, long-handled naginata burning with raging flame, directly resisting the various magic attacks unleashed by the demons.
Only when his Observation Haki perceived that Eiji Kazahana had passed through the Barrier Jutsu did he use his authority as an Army Lieutenant General to order the Conquerors to retreat one by one.
He himself continued to hold the position, incinerating one hideous black demon after another.
This scene caused Ay, Eiji Kazahana, and others already outside the Barrier Jutsu to fall into a long silence as they looked at his broad back and the word 'Justice' on his back, turned red by the firelight.
Especially the slower Eiji Kazahana and Daichi Terumi.
If not for Charlotte Oven's help earlier, they would not have been able to get away so easily.
Even if they had gotten out in the end, who knew what their fate would have been...
Vice Admiral Dalmatian's expression was very complex, even somewhat unpleasant.
In his opinion, Charlotte Oven was just being redundant and putting on a show!
They had only recently met these Ninja World talents.
And strictly speaking, the Ninja World had not yet joined the World Government, so there was no need to care about their life or death!
Not long after.
The Conquerors walked out of the Barrier Jutsu one by one in a line, and Charlotte Oven also fought and retreated.
However, at this moment, facing the attacks of countless demons alone, he was clearly struggling. Wounds and bloodstains began to appear on his body, and his clothing was also extensively damaged by various magic.
This meant that the demons' attacks could already break through Oven's Haki Defense!
"Leave him!"
"Leave this human here, and then kill him!!"
"Don't let him run, this damn guy!"
Numerous lower and middle demons shrieked hysterically.
Most of the demons, meanwhile, were attempting to attack the Barrier Jutsu of the Uchiha Flame Formation.
But they found that no matter what attribute of magic they used, upon contact with the crimson, fire-like Barrier Jutsu, it would be instantly incinerated.
And those trying to impact it with their physical bodies were even worse off, turning into massive, raging fire torches one after another, emitting piteous cries of pain.
This made the demons incredibly angry, and their attention gradually shifted away from Oven.
"Stop looking, support Vice Admiral Oven!"
Eiji Kazahana suddenly shouted. At the same time, he rushed back into the Barrier Jutsu.
The next moment, a surge of chakra erupted, and a pale blue aura enveloped his entire body.
"Ice Release: Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals!"
Instantly, the area to Charlotte Oven's left, amidst the rushing cold wind and snowflakes, rapidly generated pure white Ice Crystal Mirrors.
Their scale far surpassed that of Haku in the 'canon', who was his grandson.
These Ice Crystal Mirrors adhered to each other, quickly forming a wide wall that blocked a large number of demons outside and simultaneously resisted various magic attacks. The demons inside the ice crystals were completely frozen.
On the other side, the area to Charlotte Oven's right was swept by surging steam heatwaves, sending large numbers of demons flying.
"Indeed, we can't just watch Vice Admiral Oven fall into danger."
Daichi Terumi, who appeared as a mass of flowing water, replied calmly.
Charlotte Oven raised an eyebrow, but said nothing more, once again swinging the 'Flame Naginata' in his hand to incinerate the demons in front of him, then seized this opportunity to escape the Barrier Jutsu.
Eiji Kazahana and Daichi Terumi quickly followed.
The Barrier Jutsu behind them also rapidly closed, leaving no gap whatsoever.
However, the next second, this Uchiha Flame Formation began to push inwards.
This not only burned the ground along the way into lava scorched earth but also caused the nearby demons to scream repeatedly.
Unfortunately, this Barrier Jutsu's fire, clearly could only bring them pain, but could not cause actual damage.
After all, earth fire was just earth fire, but fortunately, the Barrier Jutsu's pushing force was extremely strong, constantly pushing the demons back step by step.
The space within the Barrier Jutsu also rapidly shrank during this process...
