The way Yama came out of the Iron Maiden made Ryota suddenly feel a huge sense of crisis.

He has a wealth of combat experience and it was this very combat experience that was shouting at him in panic. ​​

Even after he racked all his brain, it was difficult for him to imagine just how exactly Yama broke out of his Iron Maiden!

'Sure enough, as Patriarch said, Amatsukami is not so easy…' – with this Ryota's expression finally turned serious.

Although he is a blood thirst and crazy type, Ryota is by no means stupid, even if he wants to choke these bastards, he still knew how to analyze the situation properly.

And aside from all that, Ryota has extreme trust over his keen instincts, and these instincts were also screaming at him that the moment of life and death is here.

Ryota has never told this to anyone, but his keen instincts are akin to a special intuition ability he acquired when his Sharingan reached the fully matured state.

It was this intuition that helped him shine in the third shinobi great war, and with that, he became a prominent figure in the Uchiha Clan second only to the patriarch and Elder Council in terms of authority.

At this time, Yama walked towards Uchiha Ryota, and incited him, "Compared to your pathetic brother, you are at least not disappointing!"

Although enraged, Ryota did not reply to Yama's taunt. He took a deep breath and printed hand seals and shouted, "Summoning Technique!"

Puff…

Instantly white smoke arose.

When the smoke disappeared, a red tabby cat with a black napkin wrapped around his neck, a silver fork in the left paw, a knife in the other, and half fish in the mouth appeared before everyone.

While chewing the fish, the cat mumbled vaguely, "Ryota you idiot, have I not said to not summon me during my meal times? I will not be doing anything during my meal time!"

"But I am fighting an enemy!" – Retorted Ryota helplessly.

"I couldn't care less, in fact, do us both a favor and just die already!" said the cat with a 'humph' tone.

With a sigh, Ryota released the summon and the red tabby cat was sent away.

Seeing this scene, Homusubi suddenly remembered something and said, "Yama, that red cat can perform hundreds of types of Jutsu, I am sure he wants to escape here using the reverse Summon!"

Homusubi did not need to complete that sentence as Yama too realized that something was amiss here, and he also guessed Ryota's intentions.

Therefore, as soon as the red tabby cat disappeared, Yama used Rein Wheel Pull to attract Uchiha Ryota towards him.

"W-what…?" – Uchiha Ryota who was suddenly pulled towards Yama under some kind of force was suddenly panicked.

At the same instant, Yama also applied a gravity push under his feet and rushed towards the incoming Ryota, all while printing the hand seals.

At the moment the two came in contact, Yama pressed his hands on Ryota's chest and shouted, "Fuinjutsu: Contract Seal: Seal!"

Ryota did not have any opportunity to recover when Homusubi who was also pulled by Yama took this opportunity to use Genjutsu.

The whole fight did not even last even a minute from beginning to end.

And the last counter was almost instantaneous.

In just a few breaths, when the three landed on the ground, the Contract seal had already disabled all the summoning contracts signed by Uchiha Ryota as well as the Genjutsu had already acted upon him.

Uchiha Ryota's visual prowess may be stronger than Uchiha Hideki's, but it is nothing compared to Uchiha Shisui's visual prowess, therefore he was easily solved.

Using the opportunity while Ryota was trapped in the Genjutsu, Yama hit the back of his neck making him lose consciousness.

With Uchiha Ryota unconscious, Yama used the Four-Symbols Seal to seal his chakra, "With this, our objective is complete!"

Homusubi nodded with a heavy breath.

He was relieved that no accident happened and Ryota was successfully captured, if he had somehow managed to escape this time, then the target of Amatsukami would have been revealed to Konoha and it would have become difficult to find any other chance to kidnap him.

Moreover, there is also no guarantee that he did not realize anything during the confrontation, so the successful capture was a great relief.

After completing the seal, Yama said, "Leave him to me, you should also leave this place now and make sure to find a suitable opportunity to show up in another place for your alibi so that the suspicion does not fall upon you."

Homusubi nodded and without saying anything he disappeared from this place.

Yama also did not delay anymore and after lifting Uchiha Ryota into the air using attractive force, he entered into the Tenseigan Chakra Mode and after taking a careful look around, also flew away towards the Dungeon Prison.

…

Whoosh… Whoosh… Whoosh…

It wasn't much longer after Yama left; several shinobi arrived at the battlefield.

These shinobi are none other than the same team including Sarutobi Asuma, Chiriku, Aburame Clansman along with three Uchiha Shinobi who were with Uchiha Ryota not long ago.

Because Uchiha Ryota sneaked away they had to come after him, and the rising black smoke that was visible from a distance and the burning forest was the best giveaway of his position.

Although they arrived here together, their purpose is different.

The several Uchiha Shinobi were worried that if Ryota wanders alone, he would be attacked by Amatsukami, while Asuma and Chiriku came to take him under custody for his actions of attaching the innocent civilians and burning the village despite the previous warning he was given.

Only the Aburame Clansman was just a helpless bystander and could only choose to follow helplessly.

Arriving at the scene, the Uchiha members noticed the broken Iron Maiden and exclaimed with a gloomy face, "Oh shit, Ryota might be in trouble!"

At this time, Asuma and Chiriku noticed the damaged Signal Flare that lied on the ground and asked, "That Signal Flare, it was specially assigned to be used when one encounters Amatsukami, right?"

Another Uchiha Shinobi looked at the Signal Flare and nodded, "Yes, Elder Consultant Danzo assigned this signal flare, and it was probably the one that Ryota had!"

Asuma said with a serious face, "If Uchiha Ryota did not even have the opportunity to fire the Signal Flare to call for help, then he must have been ambushed by more than one member of Amatsukami!"
