Chapter 20

Dead?

Hearing Yuzhi's words, all the Rock Ninja present refused to believe it.

They all knew Lord Shou; he was an elite of the Explosive Unit—how could he possibly die at the hands of a brat?

What left them speechless was that Lord Shou had indeed participated in this interception mission, and these brats before them had indeed broken through.

More importantly, they all noticed Yuzhi's scarlet eyes, which seemed to silently bolster his persuasiveness.

The power of the Sharingan is not something anyone dares to question, even if it resides in just a brat!

"Are you scared?"

Yuzhi continued walking slowly toward the group of Rock Ninja, making a subtle gesture as he went while constantly adjusting his breathing.

Behind him, Kakashi and the others who had originally wanted to advise him to stop froze, not daring to act rashly.

"It seems you are indeed afraid."

Yuzhi continued forward, his aura growing stronger, his chakra already boiling within his body.

Moreover, the three tomoe in his eyes began to spin rapidly, making his vision extraordinarily clear at this moment!

To push the Sharingan to its limit, the best method is to forcibly enhance it through mental stimulation.

However, mental stimulation might not work well for Yuzhi; perhaps he has not yet encountered the pain he finds 'unbearable'.

Otherwise, he would not have taken so many years in Whirlpool Country to develop just two tomoe.

Besides mental stimulation, another way is to train in Shadow Release to boost his mental strength, study books to fill gaps, and hone himself through combat.

He had learned some simple Shadow Release exercises from Aoba, but on the battlefield he had no time to practice them.

So for him now, the best way is only the last one!

"After returning, I must definitely calm down and train properly; also, I don't know what the Uchiha Ultimate Weapon will bring me."

Yuzhi silently murmured to himself, and his power reached its peak at this moment.

Boom——

In the distance, Minato Namikaze's toad was still fiercely entangled with the Five-Tails.

The ground trembled continuously from the battle of these two monsters, and the rumbling never ceased.

Accompanied by such rumbling, Yuzhi's steps began to gradually quicken, his scarlet eyes seeming to burst forth with an eerie hue.

A suppressive aura began to spread among the Rock Ninja; the rumbling and the sweep of those scarlet eyes gave them a feeling of palpitation.

Merely watching Yuzhi draw nearer, the earlier mocking words seemed to start echoing in their ears again.

"Come on, let's take him down!"

Finally, one Rock Ninja seemed unable to bear it any longer, and he suddenly let out a roar.

And accompanying that roar, all the Rock Ninja erupted!

They all drew their weapons and shouted as they charged at Yuzhi.

"Akai, you and Aoba, act quickly."

Seeing this, Kakashi immediately took out a scroll and spoke.

"I'll coordinate with Yuzhi; the bridge‑blowing mission is yours."

"This"

Akai and Aoba didn't expect Kakashi to be so decisive, but they quickly took the scroll and nodded.

"No problem, leave it to us!"

Yuzhi's gesture just now was to tell them that he would draw attention, allowing them to cooperate at any time.

The two of them took a deep breath, then, finding the right moment, they immediately moved.

With Yuzhi drawing attention, they wouldn't have to face many opponents; as long as they could restrain him together, they were confident they could complete the mission!

"Well."

Kakashi saw this, formed hand seals with both hands, and the thunder of the Thousand Birds appeared again in his hand.

Actually he also felt some anxiety inside; Yuzhi's method of using himself to lure the enemy, while not bad, also put himself in danger.

Moreover, Kakashi didn't even think about how much one person could actually achieve.

Although these Rock Ninja before him were generally average in strength, since most elites were already on the front lines, their sheer numbers were overwhelming.

"We must quickly cooperate with Yuzhi, otherwise..."

Kakashi silently thought to himself, but when his Thousand Birds was just ready, he saw a scene that would be unforgettable for his life!

"This feeling..."

Seeing the Rock Ninja rushing quickly toward him, for some reason he had a strange feeling.

His eyes could clearly see the movements of the vast majority of the Rock Ninja present!

Although he couldn't see everything, nor could he instantly comprehend all their intentions.

But he could roughly guess their attack direction, could figure out the possible trajectory of their attacks, which was already completely sufficient for him!

"Ah!"

Figures crossed, a Rock Ninja had already let out a miserable scream, his chest pierced by a kunai at some point.

Such screams were only the beginning; when Yuzhi completely charged into the crowd, such screams rose and fell one after another.

Faced with the numerous Rock Ninja, Yuzhi moved through the crowd like a swimming dragon.

His movements were reduced to the extreme; while leaping and shifting, he could continuously strike, appearing from afar as graceful as a dance.

However, any Rock Ninja that came into contact with him was knocked down without exception!

Moreover, Yuzhi also saw Akai and the others' past, and he knew he had to act more ruthlessly!

In the crowd, he lightly dodged the attack of a Rock Ninja in front of him, while the kunai in his hand had already stabbed into the body of a Rock Ninja beside him.

Immediately he grabbed that Rock Ninja's corpse and used it as a shield behind him, while with one hand he took the kunai from that Rock Ninja's hand.

Ding—

Accompanied by a crisp metallic sound, his kunai blocked the attack of a Rock Ninja in front of him, while the Rock Ninja he was blocking behind him had already been pinned with several kunai.

His knee thrust forward quickly, and the Rock Ninja in front of him instantly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and the next second he felt a cool chill on his neck.

"Go die!"

That Rock Ninja was taken care of, and another Rock Ninja had already come to his side, raising his ninja sword high and slashing down at him fiercely!

Yuzhi frowned slightly, but his expression remained indifferent.

Although his rear and flanks were still his blind spots, his reaction speed was fast enough, and his own speed could compensate for this flaw!

After a quick turn, Yuzhi instantly dodged this slash, and at the same time he lowered his body, dodging again a slash coming from above.

He quickly stepped forward with a slide to stand before a Rock Ninja, not giving the Rock Ninja any chance to react, and he thrust the kunai in his hand upward fiercely.

Pfft—

Accompanied by a muffled thud, the kunai pierced straight through that guy's chin!

Sealing with one hand, Yuzhi's scarlet eyes shifted slightly, and the substitution technique and illusion technique were instantly activated.

A Rock Ninja who had just rushed in front of him froze on the spot, and immediately he had swapped places with Yuzhi.

"Let me borrow your sword."

Without a word, Yuzhi snatched the ninja sword from that Rock Ninja's hand, while that Rock Ninja had already been taken down by his teammate!

Weaving among those dozens of Rock Ninjas, Yuzhi's performance was utterly effortless.

Even when he sometimes seemed to be in peril, from start to finish he held absolute control.

Those Rock Ninjas, under Yuzhi's attacks, were wounded or killed, and their morale plummeted.

They couldn't figure out how, with so many of them facing a single person, they could be so helpless.

Roar—

In the distance, the Five-Tails was still howling, and the earth continued to tremble.

But at this moment, it wasn't just the earth that trembled; their hearts did as well!

"Is that all you've got?"

After knocking another Rock Ninja to the ground, seeing those Rock Ninjas who seemed unwilling to charge forward again, Yuzhi also stopped his steps.

In fact, he was also feeling tired, his focus intensely concentrated, and using the Sharingan to its fullest made him a bit dizzy.

Nevertheless, he maintained his composure, silently allowing himself a brief respite.

Boom, boom, boom—

But just then, a series of explosion sounds suddenly rang out.

The explosions kicked up a cloud of dust that spread everywhere, and amidst the blazing firelight, the bridge behind them slowly collapsed!

At this moment, the earth trembled more violently, and everyone present understood what it meant.

Amid the swirling smoke and firelight, Yuzhi casually tossed aside his ninja sword, crossed his arms over his chest, and his scarlet eyes fixed on those Rock Ninjas whose faces were ashen.

"Looks like it's all over, you Rock Village truly have no one left."

I was supposed to set a timer, but I just realized I clicked the wrong one.

Newbies beg for follows; now follows will decide everything about a book, raising it is easy but killing it is easy too.

Thanks to all the big shots, Onz.
