A gentle breeze swept along the road, carrying dust and smoke. The shouts of battle faded into the distance with the howling wind, but the shouts grew louder and louder, and the air was filled with murderous intent and the stench of blood.

On the shattered street, the corpse of the Yuki Clan Jonin lay half-reclined in a deep pit, blood flowing freely, almost filling the small pit to the brim.

Even after death, the Yuki Clan Jonin's face still revealed his final madness and unwillingness. He probably never imagined that he would be defeated by such a mere brat. As a Jonin, he had carried out countless missions and survived countless life-or-death crises throughout his life, growing stronger with each battle. Yet today, he died at the hands of this little brat. It was truly a laughingstock.

Seeing that the Yuki Clan Jonin at his feet Jonin truly dead, Yemo breathed a sigh of relief. But then, a sudden pain shot through his right shoulder. Looking sideways, he saw a finger-sized wound oozing blood.

Seeing this, Yemo clasped his hands together in a Hand Seals, "Yin-Yang Release: Revival Technique!"

As soon as he spoke, a large amount of Chakra surged through his meridians to Yemo's shoulder. The cells in Yemo's shoulder divided rapidly under the stimulation of the Chakra, and in the blink of an eye, Yemo's wound stopped bleeding incessantly, the amount of blood flowing out decreased, and eventually stopped.

The wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The thumb-sized wound shrank to a tiny size and then disappeared in just half a minute. The wound had returned to its original state, and the newly grown muscle was very white, standing out against the wheat-colored skin next to it.

Having recovered from his injuries, Yemo glanced down at the Yuki Clan Jonin who had died at his hands, thinking, "Was this really Jonin? Or Jonin with Kekkei Genkai? He doesn't seem like one. He's even Jonin than the Cloud Village Kumogakure I dealt with a few days ago. As for the Kekkei Genkai Kaguya Clan Jonin they killed, who was also a Kekkei Genkai inheritor, he's far inferior. The difference in their combat power is like heaven and earth. He and Kakashi almost died fighting together before barely managing to kill him. Even though Yemo's strength has increased after that battle, he still shouldn't be able to kill a Kekkei Genkai -Jonin."

"Furthermore, his use of the Kekkei Genkai Ice Shield is extremely clumsy, and his method of use is simplistic, unlike Haku in the manga. Even Haku's use of Ice Release is far superior to this Jonin's."

There are two reasons why Yemo was able to easily defeat the Yuki Clan Jonin. First, he underestimated Yemo, assuming that Yemo was young and thus lowered his guard. Moreover, he did not understand Yemo's abilities and did not expect that Yemo could use Ninjutsu with one hand Hand Seals or even without Hand Seals.

Secondly, his Kekkei Genkai had only been awakened recently, and he was not proficient in using Kekkei Genkai. His use of Ice Release in battle was very clumsy, making Jonin only a half-baked Jonin with Kekkei Genkai. All of these factors combined made it obvious that Yemo won more easily than expected.

The battle was at a stalemate. Under the attack of several Kekkei Genkai clans, the Uzumaki Clan ninjas were retreating step by step. Although Minato and Kosuke, two powerful fighters, joined the fray, they could only stabilize the situation in some areas. However, Minato and Kosuke were also overwhelmed. It was already difficult for them to hold off so many ninjas on their own, let alone help the others.

In short, with the addition of Minato and others, the Uzumaki Clan managed to hold them off, but at this rate, the Uzumaki Clan was destined to be defeated.

Unless one is a truly super strong individual, how could one possibly hold off an entire ninja army single-handedly? Minato might be able to do it in the future, but he cannot do Minato now.

Before anyone knew it, shouts of battle had begun to rise around Yemo, as many ninjas from clans with Kekkei Genkai had already advanced into the heart of Uzushiogakure.

The battle Jonin Yemo and the Yuki Clan's Jonin was a grand affair, witnessed by many ninjas from the beginning. They were all shocked to see that such a young brat from the Uzumaki Clan could hold Jonin, saying they never expected the Uzumaki Clan to have such a genius.

But when they saw Yemo actually kill Yuki Clan Jonin, the crowd felt nothing but fear. This was no longer just a genius; it was a monster.

Immediately, several Jonin rushed out from the various clan forces, joining forces to attack Yemo. Such a prodigy absolutely could not be allowed to live, otherwise, once he grew up, he would become a major threat to the various clans. No one wanted to be plotted against day and night by a monstrous genius.

Seeing several Jonin attacking him, Yemo's face turned pale. Without saying a word, he turned and ran. He could handle one Jonin, but if there were several, he would Rotation the day.

Seeing Yemo trying to escape, one of the ninjas swung his hand and shot out a Kunai. The Kunai whistled and landed in Yemo's path. Attached to the Kunai were several explosive tags. The tags detonated, and huge explosions blocked the entire road. The shockwaves from the explosions hit Yemo head-on. He crossed his arms in front of him to block the shockwaves, but his body was blasted backward by the shockwaves, and his shoes left two calm skid marks on the ground.

The explosion sent flames raging across the street, and this brief pause allowed several Jonin to catch up and surround Yemo, leaving him with nowhere to retreat.

"I never expected the Uzumaki Clan to have such a monstrous genius as you, capable of killing Yuki Clan Jonin."

"You think you can just kill someone and run away? It's not that simple. Today, you'll pay for the life of our Yuki Clan's Jonin with your own."

"A prodigy like me, I've never killed one before, I wonder what the blood of a genius tastes like."

Watching the Kaguya Clan ninja lick his Kunai with his long tongue, his eyes gleaming with excitement as he spoke of blood, Yemo wondered if this guy was some kind of pervert, or perhaps one who liked to eat human blood.

Surrounded by three Jonin, Yemo appeared calm on the surface, but was inwardly terrified. These three Jonin exuded intense killing intent; was he really going to die here?

"Konoha Style..."

Suddenly, Kosuke's voice came from beside him. Yemo's face lit up with joy. He knew that he would not die this time. Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw Kosuke rushing over at high speed, holding a sword in his hand. Yemo recognized the sword move he was wielding as the starting stance of the Konoha-Style Kenjutsu.

The three Jonin also noticed Kosuke's approach. Upon seeing that his opponent was a Konoha Genin, the three Jonin slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting to find Konoha Ninja here. Suddenly, they noticed that the Forehead Protector Yemo was wearing was Konoha Forehead Protector.

Before they could think, Kosuke's attack had already arrived. The three ninjas looked disdainful; how dare a Genin attack three Jonin? Just as they were wondering how to deal with this Genin, they all stopped in their tracks, stunned. Yemo was completely dumbfounded, thinking to himself, "Are these three ninjas idiots? Kosuke has already attacked, and they're still standing there dumbfounded."

This is what Yemo saw. What the three ninjas saw was that the scene in front of them suddenly changed to a dark night under the moon, with bamboo forests all around, a cold wind blowing, and bamboo leaves flying everywhere. As for Kosuke's figure, he had already disappeared. But Kosuke's eyes were different; he only saw three enemies.

"... willow!"

Swish...

A cold glint flashed across the sky. In that instant, the light it emitted was brief, yet it overshadowed even the sun, and the world seemed to be left with only that single, cold glint.

This scene lasted only a moment, and the cold light dissipated in the next second. Kosuke, who was just in front of the three ninjas, appeared behind them like a ghost, his long sword already sheathed. At this moment Kosuke was truly incomparably domineering.

The three Jonin clutched their throats, blood gushing from between their fingers. They stared at Kosuke with terrified eyes, making hoarse, indistinct sounds.

It was as if it were saying, "How is this possible? Who are you? How can a Genin be so strong? The three of us Jonin were completely powerless against you." However, Kosuke wouldn't explain so much to a dead man, and in the end, he could only die with a face full of doubt and terror.

Although that glint of cold light was brief, it was deeply etched in Yemo's mind. Kosuke's attack was incredibly fast, to an extreme degree. Yemo Kosuke n't even see how Kosuke sheathed his sword. All he could see was that glint of cold light.

Konoha-Style Kenjutsu: Yanagi is an S-rank Ninjutsu that combines Genjutsu and swordsmanship. It requires no Hand Seals and is used in close combat. First, the user launches Konoha-Style Kenjutsu at the enemy and then uses Genjutsu to make the enemy appear as if they have disappeared into the leaves dancing in the wind. At the same time, the user binds the enemy, rendering them unable to move, and then launches a surprise attack from the enemy's blind spot, piercing through with a single strike to eliminate the opponent. It is a deadly move that can kill the enemy in one hit and is an unavoidable lightning attack.

Kosuke's Ninjutsu was powerful, and his strength was also formidable. The combination of the two allowed Kosuke to instantly kill three Jonin.

The Genin in every village, are actually the most terrifying in Konoha. This reminds Yemo of a saying from his past life: the strongest in Konoha are not the Jonin, but the Genin.
