Chapter 106: Two Spots?!

"What kind of people are you? Using a transformation technique against that guy is too low‑level!"

Sarutobi Nichizan gasped as he looked at the people before him, his body already bearing many wounds.

The violent explosion scattered them all, leaving him to face the trouble alone.

Moreover, the strength of those before him was extraordinary; both taijutsu and ninjutsu were immensely powerful.

Even though he gave his all, the result was far from ideal.

And the clamor of battle outside had gradually quieted; he dared not contemplate what had happened. All he could do now was focus on resolving the immediate situation.

As for everything else, it can be dealt with later.

"Who we are doesn't matter, nor does whether our methods are low‑level; what matters is whether we can achieve our goal."

Ohnoki looked at the disheveled Third Hokage and felt a wave of relief.

Having fought this old monkey all his life, he really doesn't mind giving this old monkey his final journey!

"Move, and give him no chance."

But Ohnoki remained clear‑headed; he knew that without solving the problem, they must not start making lewd remarks.

Especially since this old fellow was first ambushed, then stubbornly fought them.

If this old thing hadn't been worrying that others couldn't be at ease, they probably wouldn't have caused such trouble for that guy.

Nevertheless, he felt reassured; after all, he now had Huangtu and Han by his side, and Wenya led the ANBU to intercept Leaf Village's ANBU, which was more than enough!

"Earth Release·Fist Rock!"

【7】 Huangtu flashed forward, lunging straight at the Third Hokage; the hard rock fist swept across him.

Huang Tu flashed, already lunging straight at San Dai, his hard rock fist sweeping across San Dai.

Bang—

Yet the moment it struck the Third Hokage, his body instantly turned into a wisp of smoke—clearly a Shadow Clone Jutsu.

"Lightning Release·Thunder!"

"Water Release·Water Dragon Bullet!"

"Ninjutsu·Lightning Water Dragon Bullet!"

The Third Hokage's figure appeared instantly on the other side; he, with his Shadow Clone Jutsu, completed the two techniques at once and immediately merged them into one!

The electrified water dragon surged inexorably toward Huangtu, subtly sealing off the retreat path surrounding him.

"As expected of you, but that's all—Earth Release·Rock Arm!"

Ohnoki reacted swiftly, completing the hand seals in an instant; a massive hand materialized and firmly blocked Huangtu.

"This technique"

Seeing such Earth Release, the Third Hokage was slightly stunned; this openly displayed ninjutsu made the Third Hokage realize something.

But he also understood that some words were meaningless to utter; even if his guess were correct, he would rather keep the secret and say nothing!

"Boiling Release·Unparalleled Strength!"

In the instant he was dazed, a figure surged behind him, a savage fist smashing toward him.

"Damn."

The Third Hokage snapped back to his senses, turning to evade, but the assailant's speed was simply too fast!

Seeing the massive vortex formed by the boiling steam, the Third Hokage gritted his teeth and barely assumed a defensive stance.

Yet at that moment, his gaze flickered; a flash of scarlet swept across his field, followed by a massive shock and a piercing roar that erupted!

Boom—

The violent shock knocked the Third Hokage to the ground; for a moment his insides churned and his ears buzzed.

But he knew he was fine, because the strike barely hit him at all!

"This is..."

Looking up, he saw the dark‑red chakra giant's palm blocking the monster.

The chakra palm bore deep fissures yet did not shatter, and within the giant a figure stood indifferently.

She turned slightly; the scarlet Mangekyou Sharingan glowed alluringly, and her voice rang out.

"Are you alright, Third Hokage?"

——

"Jingyin, are you okay?"

On another battlefield, Tsunade stared coldly at the group of 'Rock Ninja' before her, whispering to Jingyin beside her.

Jingyin gave a slight nod; being young and weak, she had always been protected by everyone, which made her feel deeply uneasy.

But Tsunade had no patience for that; after confirming the situation, she gazed at the 'Rock Ninja' and said,

"Are you sure what you're doing? Do you intend to spark another great war?"

"I advise you not to be wishful; the Ninja World War has never ended."

The leading 'Rock Ninja' let out a cold snort, then fixed his gaze and barked coldly,

"Surrender, and perhaps we won't kill you, for we have only one goal!"

"Dream on."

"Then you just go die."

This 'Rock Ninja' was too lazy to speak further; his tone was unusually flat, and the moment his words ended, his whole body surged forward.

That ferocious speed shattered the ground, the surrounding trees twisted wildly, and scattered stones were swept everywhere.

Moreover, lightning arcs continuously flashed over his body.

Seeing this, Tsunade thrust Jingyin forward with a backhand, and at the same time she met the incoming foe with a punch.

Boom—

A visibly raging gust erupted from their fists, instantly snapping all the trees around them.

The ground beneath their feet collapsed rapidly, yet the two of them remained standing, unmoving.

"Are you not pretending?"

Tsunade sneered, while silently mobilizing chakra.

"I don't understand what you're saying,"

The Rock Ninja ignored her, privately admiring Tsunade's exaggerated power; even a hasty battle still wielded such force.

But he also gave a cold smile and replied softly.

"But you must be feeling rather uncomfortable now, aren't you?"

"Did you forget that I'm a medical ninja?"

At that moment, Tsunade's power surged, and the Rock Ninja involuntarily stepped back.

When it comes to raw power, Tsunade truly fears no one!

"To develop a medical ninja to this level is truly awe‑inspiring,"

The Rock Ninja nodded, then gave a disdainful smile.

"But unfortunately, you alone, your fate is already sealed!"

Bzz—

As soon as the Rock Ninja finished speaking, Tsunade instantly heard the clashing of swords behind her!

The sound that tore through the air, mixed with fierce chakra, made Tsunade immediately realize the situation was dire.

"We must break the yin seal, or recovery will lag behind,"

Tsunade gritted her teeth, quickly thinking that against such a strong foe she would have no room for luck.

Moreover, the enemy outnumbered them; if she couldn't end the fight swiftly, she would likely be unable to tend to Shizune and unable to support her teacher!

"Why has intelligence of this caliber leaked?"

Tsunade cursed inwardly, her chakra surged rapidly, and the seal on her forehead flashed.

Boom—

In an instant, a massive roar erupted, and a terrifying vortex spiraled outward more fiercely than before.

"What is—"

But at that moment Tsunade was stunned, for she was shocked to find herself already far from the center of the fight!

Just as she was about to break the yin seal, she suddenly perceived an incredible whirlwind of sky and earth around her.

Space seemed torn, and she was whisked away as if teleported from her original spot!

"Are you okay?"

Just as she was still a little bewildered, a voice suddenly rang out, and only then did she notice her arm being grabbed.

She turned her head and saw a handsome young man standing there, his other hand cradling the already unconscious Shizune!

Tsunade, seeing this, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but she quickly furrowed her brow a little.

Because she saw the boy's crimson eyes, and the strange pattern within them!

"Mangekyou Sharingan?"

Tsunade murmured, then seemed to realize something.

"You are that Uchiha Haori?"

"Hmm, that's me."

Yuzhi nodded, set the Shizune down, and said with a smile.

"It seems my arrival is rather fitting, not too late."

"You don't need to worry about me, I'm fine; you go quickly to support my teacher."

After Tsunade checked Shizune and confirmed she was okay, she whispered immediately.

"I can handle this side; it looks like you have the Flying Thunder God, you take Shizune and my teacher first, I can hold this side!"

Speaking of the Flying Thunder God, Tsunade felt a bit uneasy.

She still remembered her grandfather's attitude toward the Uchiha Clan, and now a Uchiha actually mastered the Flying Thunder God.

This.

"Rest assured, the Third Hokage's side has someone there."

Yuzhi gently shook his head, his gaze fixed on the smoke‑filled area.

"Of course I'll go too, but before that I just need to wait for someone to arrive."

"Wait for someone?"

"Hmm, the fastest person in the ninja world."

If Tsunade was merely uneasy, Yuzhi was starting to lose composure; why does Minato Namikaze always end up late?

He didn't quite understand why Minato Namikaze, when faced with such matters, always ends up a little late.

"Another one?"

Just as Yuzhi was pondering, the thick smoke dispersed in an instant, accompanied by a chakra tremor.

Two massive Rock Ninjas had already appeared before them!

"What a clumsy disguise."

Yuzhi, seeing the two, couldn't help but mock.

"I've seen Rock Ninjas proficient in Fire Release; Rock Ninjas proficient in Lightning Release truly are awe‑inspiring."

"Did you just use the Flying Thunder God?"

Facing Yuzhi's mockery, neither of the two became angry; one of them instead asked coldly.

"Your guess?"

Yuzhi tilted his head, but before he could finish speaking, he suddenly noticed that one of the Rock Ninja had already surged forward with sparks and lightning right in front of him.

The massive fist had already silently closed in, but at that critical moment Yuzhi's figure suddenly vanished!

"Indeed, it's the Flying Thunder God; that Minato Namikaze is exactly the same!"

The Rock Ninja's expression hardened, and he also had some calculations in his mind.

He is now faster than back then; this kid actually reacted in an instant.

"Could he be faster than Minato Namikaze?"

Although his thoughts are many, it does not affect his fighting.

He quickly turned his head to search for Yuzhi, while forcibly keeping his body coordinated enough to be able to counter.

After the fierce battle with Minato Namikaze, he has been pondering countermeasures over the years.

And he indeed figured out some key points: Minato Namikaze's "speed" is not the same as his.

To deal with that legendary spatial ability, first you must find the mark, and secondly you must constantly maintain bodily coordination!

Now he doesn't know where the mark is, so there must be absolutely no stiffness, otherwise he cannot cope with the attack from an unknown source.

"Found it!"

In an instant, his eyes caught Yuzhi's figure.

What surprised him slightly was that Yuzhi had already arrived behind him, and the kunai in his hand was already thrust out!

"This speed does seem indeed faster than Minato Namikaze's back then, but where is his mark?"

Raikage felt a bit stunned, yet his body swiftly flipped, and another punch roared toward Yuzhi.

"Ha!"

At that moment, accompanied by a fierce whoosh, a black silhouette shot out from the dust behind Yuzhi, charging straight at him.

"The speed really is fast."

Yuzhi's gaze hardened; he naturally knew the person behind him was that guy Qila Bi.

Moreover, in the original, he could be the person who, the instant Minato's Flying Thunder God reached his back, answered with a Ninja Sword.

"However, I'm not Minato Namikaze."

Seeing this front‑and‑back ambush, Yuzhi didn't choose to retreat; his eyes shifted slightly, and a black phantom, like gauze and ink, projected from his body.

From bone to sinew, in less than a breath, a half‑body Susanoo covered him.

Although it was a bit rushed and the Susanoo was clearly incomplete, Yuzhi thought it was sufficient.

He was rushed, and so were the others.

"Moreover, you aren't those two guys from Future Peak."

With thoughts in his mind, as Yuzhi's kunai collided with the Raikage before him, his eyes darted quickly.

Their gazes met; the Raikage felt his brain struck hard, his whole body froze.

Unfortunately, Yuzhi didn't have time to give the guy a hard strike; he already commanded the Susanoo to turn and slash away!

Boom—

As the massive Ninja Sword descended, a tremendous roar echoed repeatedly through the forest.

The roar was extremely piercing, even the ground trembled slightly at that moment.

Even Tsunade, who had already opened distance with Silent Mode, was slightly affected, nearly stumbling.

"Truly worthy of the one who dealt with the Nine‑Tails, what a monster."

The battle that just occurred in a brief one or two seconds left Tsunade a bit unable to see clearly.

But they could still discern what power Yuzhi was using now!

"Susanoo?"

Tsunade murmured softly, and at that moment two figures suddenly burst from the massive dust, landing a short distance away, looking a bit disheveled.

At the same time, Yuzhi's figure silently arrived beside Tsunade.

Tsunade's gaze hardened; looking left and right, what finally made them uneasy was that they discovered a Flying Thunder God mark on the Silent outfit.

But before they could speak, Yuzhi suddenly spoke.

"Minato senior, you're late."

"Sorry."

Hearing the voice, Tsunade instantly turned their head, and saw a blond‑haired person silently appear beside them!

"Because some problems arose in the village, so…"

Minato now looked slightly embarrassed, but actually he wasn't late; the fight between Yuzhi and these two lasted only a few breaths.

Moreover, he had been delayed by the clan today, who gave a well‑founded request for more funding to rebuild the base.

But seeing the scene, he couldn't help but sigh.

However, compared to his embarrassment, the Raikage brothers, still in disguise far away, grew even more solemn.

Although neither of them gave their all, in almost an instant one was controlled by illusion, the other was sliced away, which was already humiliating enough!

If they weren't already strong, that blow wouldn't have made them look so disheveled so easily.

And now Minato Namikaze appears again; even if they are confident, they are more rational, knowing they must not reveal their true forms now.

Even if others probably already know…

Boom—

As the two contemplated countermeasures, a huge roar suddenly came from afar.

That chakra, filled with a destructive aura, raged unchecked, clearly indicating the battle over there was especially fierce.

"Over there is"

Minato glanced into the distance, his gaze hardened; he had already detected that it was the Third Hokage's location.

"Don't worry, Ying is over there."

Yuzhi knew their concerns; his gaze fell on the Raikage brothers, and he suddenly asked in a low voice.

"But I'll still go over and take a look, after all the situation over there isn't easy."

"Go quickly; just leave this side to us."

Shui Men replied confidently, and Gang Shou also nodded.

However, unlike Shui Men who kept his eyes on the Raikage brothers, her gaze turned to the earth platform and wooden dummy that had previously been out of reach, both still maintaining their disguise.

Clearly, she had already found a target for herself.

Yuzhi was also unreserved; he was indeed more concerned about Hikari's condition, and Shui Men arrived fairly quickly, allowing him greater flexibility.

His chakra tightened slightly, the Flying Thunder God activated instantly, and Yuzhi's figure vanished in an instant at the spot.

At the moment Yuzhi disappeared, Shui Men had already drawn several Kunai.

He said nothing, nor did he expose the identities of those before him; having served as Hokage for a time, many things were clear to him.

Some matters, if not weighed, feel as light as four liang, but once weighed they seem a thousand jin that cannot be held.

"Where did your intelligence come from?"

Shui Men swiftly scattered the Kunai outward and asked in a low voice.

"To get intelligence, it depends on whether you have the skill."

Watching Yuzhi leave, the two felt relieved yet also a bit regretful.

But they also knew what they should do now, for there will be plenty of opportunities later!

"Is that so?"

Shui Men took a deep breath; the next moment his gaze became especially resolute, and his figure vanished in an instant.

Echoing around was only a casually spoken line—

"Then that's an offense!"

——

"Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song Technique!"

Hikari leapt into the air, forming hand seals; four fire dragons suddenly surged toward Da Ye Mu and the others on the ground.

"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"

Huang Tu saw this and immediately pressed both hands to the ground, raising a massive earth wall that completely blocked the fire dragons.

Boom— Boom— Boom—

Deafening booms rang continuously, thick smoke billowed, yet the fire dragons were still repelled.

But Hikari wouldn't wait for their reactions; the instant she landed, a red flash lit her body and the half-body Susanoo roared out.

Buzz—

A massive Ninja Sword swung out abruptly, accompanied by visible blade light, and the thick earth wall was split in two instantly!

"Earth Release: Rock Fist Technique!"

But at that moment, a figure rushed in front of her; his fist turned to rock and struck hard!

"Hmph!"

Hikari snorted coldly; her Susanoo instantly expanded several layers, and the armor of the Black Tengu covered the Susanoo.

The fist struck the Susanoo's body hard, the immense force sending Hikari and the Susanoo flying back, even cracking the Susanoo's surface.

But she quickly steadied herself, no longer retreating; the cracks on the Susanoo began rapid repair as she slightly shifted her eyes.

Only the one who threw the punch was unlucky; he was caught by someone, stabilizing his stance, and almost instinctively touched his waist.

"Damn Uchiha, has he really grown to this point?"

The person was clearly Da Ye Mu, and his mood was very bad.

He had thought that past memories, along with that bastard's death, would no longer trouble him.

But he found that he was still affected.

Madara Uchiha truly was the nightmare of his life!

Now the Third Hokage was also dumbfounded, as he was shocked to discover he had become just a background character.

This realization made him a bit uneasy, but in the current battle he could only provide support, attacking those who tried to ambush.

Others didn't need him at all, because Uchiha Ying attracted too much hatred; everyone turned toward her.

Moreover, her attack range was too wide; charging in or striking casually could easily cause friendly fire.

"Is this the Uchiha?"

The Third Hokage gave a wry smile, suddenly feeling that the era had truly changed.

Yet while smirking, he also felt relief; although Uchiha Ying didn't respect him, the girl would unquestionably follow Yuzhi.

Even if Yuzhi's personality differed completely from the mirror in his memory, Zhi Shui resembled the mirror more.

But they are all bearers of the Will of Fire, the most trustworthy people of Leaf Village!

"Is this all the skill you have?"

Hikari couldn't guess what the two old men were thinking; her scarlet eyes stared at those far away, and the Uchiha-exclusive passive activated instantly.

"Really disappointing, I originally thought you could please me a bit.

But now it seems I overestimated you; according to Yuzhi, you're just a bunch of rats that like to disguise themselves."

"Bastard."

Huang Tu, hearing that, couldn't hold back, while Han stared gloomily at Hikari without a word.

Because of the disguise, they could never give their all.

Even though similar tendencies had existed before, with Leaf Village's support arriving, they had to restrain themselves without full control.

There are some things they can do, but they must never fully reveal their identities.

After all, without revealing their identities there is still room to maneuver, they can even find a reason to deal with the past; otherwise they would have to kill everyone.

But this also puts them in a relatively awkward situation; this woman is not an ordinary opponent!

"Damn."

Da Ye Mu snorted coldly; he greatly detested Hikari's tone, because it involuntarily reminded him of Madara Uchiha.

Yet the same words also angered him; the woman before him only seemed like that, but was far from it!

Although the current situation is complicated and he is unsure what those bastards from Cloud Village are up to, the talented Leaf Village person is still of the Uchiha Clan.

If he doesn't do something, this operation will be a total failure!

"As long as we don't use Dust Release, everything is manageable."

Da Ye Mu made an instant decision; a surge of chakra rose within him, and the next moment he formed hand seals with both hands.

"Earth Release: Yellow Spring Swamp"

Da Ye Mu thrust his power; under the superbly refined Earth Release chakra, the ground beneath Hikari's bare feet trembled violently!

"Hm?"

Hikari frowned slightly, and the next moment she, together with Susanoo, suddenly sank as the ground beneath her turned into a swamp!

"Earth Release: Earthquake Core!"

In that instant, Da Ye Mu immediately formed the seals again.

The ground beneath Hikari instantly began to sink, while the terrain around her abruptly rose, clearly an attempt to trap and kill Hikari!

After fighting for a while, Da Ye Mu gathered a lot of information.

If Hikari uses Susanoo, she will inevitably be stationary for output, and to keep moving she must lift Susanoo's protection.

With this information, he knew exactly what to do!

Even without Dust Release, Da Ye Mu is a super‑strong individual.

His superb Earth Release skill is hard to match across the entire ninja world, and his extensive combat experience is the foundation of his strength.

"Damn it!"

But the Third Hokage's combat experience is also exceptionally rich; seeing this, he immediately understood Da Ye Mu's intention.

He instantly drew a Kunai bound with a detonator seal and fired it at the rock wall, then quickly formed hand seals with both hands.

"Ninjutsu: Kunai Shadow Clone!"

"Dream on!"

Huang Tu, though he had been watching his father's performance, also kept a close eye on the Third Hokage's movements.

Seeing the Third Hokage's actions, he unhesitatingly launched a barrage of Kunai while swiftly constructing an earth wall, giving the Third Hokage no chance at all.

Han also, at that moment, leapt onto Da Ye Mu's Earthquake Core; his hands formed seals as his chakra boiled.

He used the power of the Tailed Beast and Boil Release to create a dense fog, thrusting straight toward the Hikari below!

"The future crisis of the ninja world shall be restrained by me personally."

Da Ye Mu formed the seals again with both hands; even with the massive wall of the Earthquake Core separating them, he could precisely accomplish what he intended.

"Earth Release: Weighted Rock Technique!"

His hands pressed onto the ground; as long as Weighted Rock Technique is applied to the previous Yellow Spring Swamp, everything will end.

However, at that moment, a sudden palpitations struck him, and a strange sense of danger erupted in his heart.

Without any hesitation, he leapt backward, and at that instant the defense built by the Earthquake Core shattered with a boom!

Black flames formed a vortex, continuously sweeping everything around.

This flame seemed capable of devouring everything; any object that touched it ignited instantly, even rocks were no exception.

Within the vortex, a figure slowly emerged, and at the same time a muffled thud echoed in midair as Han landed heavily on the ground.

The next moment, the flames dispersed; Hikari appeared unscathed, and a figure stood beside her.

"Yuzhi."

The Third Hokage, upon seeing this person, was overjoyed, but Da Ye Mu seemed unable to contain himself—another one appeared?

What almost broke his composure was that Hikari merely glanced at him and then calmly said,

"Not bad, almost worked, but still fell short."

——

"Huff, huff"

Leaning against a large tree, Kakashi panted continuously; he was now somewhat fatigued.

Dealing with these shadows exhausted him, even though he changed his combat style, greatly reducing his consumption.

But now he is still unsuitable for prolonged battles; he is better suited to a burst‑style fight that instantly eliminates enemies.

"The Flying Thunder God must be pushed harder; I can't hold everyone back."

Kakashi thought silently, but at that moment he suddenly felt a palpitations.

At the same time he noticed a slight abnormality in his eye; he abruptly turned, and the dagger infused with chakra thrust fiercely toward the rear!

The dagger sliced the air, quickly penetrating the body of the shadow behind him, but it merely passed through without causing injury.

"So it's you!" Kakashi snorted, and the next moment he leapt backward, creating some distance.

"You"—Obito was a bit flustered; he hadn't figured out how he was discovered.

But when he saw Kakashi's eye, he immediately wondered if that eye was the cause.

Thinking that, Obito felt resentment in his heart, but before he could speak, Kakashi spoke.

"Your eye is Obito's, right?"

"."

Obito was a bit stunned; he hadn't expected Kakashi to speak like that—had he been recognized?

But the next second, Obito's body couldn't help but start trembling.

"Your eyes can resonate with mine; it seems you're not only a scoundrel, but also a despicable thief.

I will definitely kill you, kill you, the bastard who stole Obito's eyes!"

Staring at Kakashi's cold gaze, Obito felt as if he had returned to years ago; at that moment he was completely broken.

Indeed, this is a false world. ——

While the battle raged in the forest, Nagato, adhering to a "goof off" principle, made no direct contact at all.

He had come to test that Madara Uchiha; how could he give up so easily?

Not walking away directly was already giving Obito face.

He just didn't expect Obito to pull such a stunt, which made him furrow his brows.

"Is this cowardice, or are you showing off for me?"

For a moment Nagato dared not hastily conclude why Obito acted so, since mobilizing that many village elites at once was possible.

Like playing with monkeys, making them clash here, that itself is a rare skill!

Although ninja of the villages need training—especially Jonin must master more techniques—most ninja are essentially only fighters who think only of battle.

Even if they scoff at conspiracies and proper governance in words,

it's because they themselves haven't reached a level requiring them to manage so many people, and such matters don't even need their consideration.

Thus Obito's move left him both puzzled and rather surprised.

"Mm?"

Just as Nagato was pondering, his gaze suddenly hardened, and he swiftly commanded Pain to charge in a direction.

When Deva Path Pain arrived at that spot, his eyes instantly locked onto the Rain Country troops hidden in the forest!

"Salamander Hanzo?"

The moment he saw that guy, Nagato's eyes brimmed with uncontrollable murderous intent.

He would never forget Miyabi, who was killed by Hanzo and Danzo!

"Did that guy do it?"

Nagato whispered softly, his fist already tightening slightly.

In the next instant, he directed Deva Path Pain to plunge straight at those Rain Country ninja—

"You guys, just like those others, your disguise is truly terrible."

Yuzhi landed beside Hikari, first quickly scouting Hikari's condition; after confirming all was well, he turned to Ono Ki.

Although his words sounded a bit flippant, he dared not be even slightly careless.

Ono Ki's danger, whether now or in the future, is among the most terrifying.

Yuzhi wasn't confident about him; even after Hikari arrived, he used Shadow Clone Jutsu to observe, and would rush over at the first sign of trouble.

But now it seems Ono Ki still has reservations; even though he employed almost everything except Dust Release.

Nevertheless, he hasn't acted completely recklessly; the state of the ninja world, his village's reputation, and even the Flying Thunder God Technique are all concerns for him.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but idle talk is useless."

Ono Ki, still disguised as a Cloud Ninja, let out a cold snort and spoke.

"I've heard you are heroes of the Leaf Village; I want to see just how far the two Uchiha have gone."

Before he finished speaking, a terrifying surge of chakra suddenly began to condense rapidly.

Without any hesitation, he darted to the side, simultaneously shoving Hodai away from his side.

Boom—

A pitch‑black fiery storm instantly swept over the spot where he had been, its scorching heat unbearable.

Hikari clearly had no intention of idle talk; she struck first.

"Third Hokage, please provide us with support."

"Alright."

Yuzhi now also said something, and the Third Hokage nodded without hesitation.

But as soon as the words fell, the Third felt a wave of speechlessness, wondering if he had also sunk to being a mere assistant.

Nevertheless, he didn't object; he knew the two worked in perfect sync, which was far better than his own reckless attempts.

And seeing the two appear together, he realized this matter was likely settled.

"Bastard."

Ono Ki dodged the flames; he concluded it was that woman's eye technique—such fire was extremely insidious, and a moment's inattention could get him caught.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

At that moment, he suddenly heard a rush of wind; turning, he saw several kunai flying toward him.

He casually picked up a kunai from the ground and easily deflected the attack, but when another kunai he dodged sliced past him,

he suddenly noticed a seal on the kunai!

"That seal."

Buzz—

The sound of cutting through the air rang again, and Ono Ki's neck was instantly sliced open by a kunai!

But quickly his body turned into a mound of earth scattered on the ground, while his true form emerged from the nearby earth.

His expression flickered; he recognized it as the Flying Thunder God Technique, which made him realize these people were probably uncontainable!

With the Flying Thunder God present, those guys could move at will; even his own Dust Release might not be effective.

Back then he agreed to a ceasefire, considering morale, the pressure from Cloud Village, and the terrifying nature of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

If it weren't for Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God, he probably wouldn't have given up so easily!

Buzz—

At the moment Da Ye Mu was stunned, Yuzhi charged forward again, and this time a Susano aura appeared around him.

As he drew nearer, the Susano around him grew larger, and when he was less than ten meters from Da Ye Mu, the Susano had already taken shape.

The massive Ninja Sword crashed down with a roar, and Da Ye Mu had already recovered his senses.

"Earth Release: Rock Arm!"

Da Ye Mu stared coldly at Yuzhi, his hands swiftly forming seals; in an instant a gigantic rock hand rose from the ground, completely blocking him.

Boom—

Just the next moment, a massive boom sounded, and Da Ye Mu's complexion changed slightly, because he saw with his own eyes that the giant hand was shattered by a single strike?

"What is this power?"

Da Ye Mu leapt quickly, but for some reason his mind flashed to Madara Uchiha.

Such aura, such momentum, and such might—though still far off, it already bears some shadow.

The future crisis of the ninja world seems to be growing heavier.

"Earth Release: Rock Dragon!"

Huang Tu, seeing his father attacked, immediately formed seals; a massive earth dragon roared and surged toward Yuzhi.

"Dream on!"

But before the earth dragon could charge, Hikari's Susano suddenly slashed with a blade.

The blade glimmered, and the massive earth dragon instantly crumbled, while the Third Hokage beside them, already forming seals, wore a sullen expression.

This place seems to have no self; the gap isn't large, is it?

Regardless of what he thinks, Soy Sauce isn't the only one; Han is probably the most frustrated this time.

Although he's strong, he doesn't dare to use the tailed beast's power lightly.

He especially wouldn't use this power in front of the two Uchiha who have dealt with the Nine-Tails, which makes him unable to keep up with them.

"We must make a choice!"

Da Ye Mu just landed, and he quickly pressed his palms together.

"Earth Release: Rigid Slave Style Technique!"

With chakra erupting, the ground began to surge, and soon a massive rock giant roared up from the earth!

The raging chakra whistled continuously, and the rock giant's size kept expanding; clearly Da Ye Mu placed great hopes on this move.

"Is this your last resort?"

Yuzhi saw the giant, let out a light laugh, but his eyes began to spin continuously.

Hikari also came to his side; the two exchanged a glance, and the next moment both of them changed simultaneously.

"Susanoo!"

Chakra wildly condensed, and two Susano of differing colors suddenly appeared, each a bit taller than the rock giant.

They wore armor, bore twin swords, and wore Rakshasa masks, exuding a fearsome chakra aura like demonic war spirits.

Even though they were only third-stage Susano, that ferocious aura already covered the entire forest!

Looking at the two massive Susano, especially at the two young figures within them, a cold bead of sweat formed on Da Ye Mu's forehead.

"Madara Uchiha?"

It felt as if a lifetime apart; he seemed to return to his youth, where a man with crimson eyes under the moonlight, covering his Susano with disdain, stared at him.

At that moment Yuzhi spoke; two voices, three figures seemed to converge at once.

"It seems you are only this, too."
