Asura Ōtsutsuki?

Thud...

Like a kite with a broken string, Yemo crashed heavily to the ground. A force of impact hit his back, his heart suddenly stopped, and Yemo felt difficulty breathing.

Fortunately, this situation only lasted for a few seconds before Yemo's breathing became smooth again. However, his chest and back were in excruciating pain, especially the spot in his chest where the elder had kicked him. It was burning with pain, and a hot current surged up his throat, with bright red blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

The orange-yellow Kakkō shone on his face as Yemo looked toward the direction of the battle. But the next second, Kakashi also flew out of the smoke and unfortunately landed next to him, splashing sand and dirt all over him.

Kakashi struggled for a moment, then stood up with Yemo's help. Yemo asked, "How are you? Are you alright?" Kakashi replied, "I'm fine, I won't die. This old guy is stronger than we thought." Yemo said, "Otherwise, he's a great elder of our Uzumaki Clan, one of the strongest Uzumaki Clan. The two of us alone would probably be no match for him." Kakashi asked, "Then what do we do? Run away?"

"Escape is impossible, absolutely impossible in this lifetime," Yemo's dictionary didn't contain the words "run away before the battle even begins." After a pause, Yemo continued, "The two of us working together should be able to hold out for a while."

"Who will lead the attack, and who will provide support?" Kakashi asked.

"There's no coordination, it's all one player attacking!"

Before he could finish speaking, Yemo rushed out, his hands rapidly Hand Seals, and lightning crackled around him.

Yemo swiftly raised his hand, palm facing the white steam, and softly uttered, "Lightning Release: Turbulence." Instantly, a beam of azure electricity shot out from Yemo's palm, the azure lightning like a dazzling ray of light rushing into the white steam. The lightning flashed, and streaks of azure lightning exploded in the white steam.

"Secret Technique: Adamantine Sealing Chains!"

The white steam obscured his vision, and Yemo was unaware whether his Ninjutsu had affected the elder. He only heard a sound coming from within the white steam, followed by golden chains that burst through the steam and hurtled towards Yemo.

Yemo reacted nimbly to dodge several attacks from the golden chains, but there were too many golden chains, and they were also very fast. Yemo was hit by one of the chains and was sent flying backward, tumbling several times in the air.

Taking advantage of this opening, several chains came whistling through the air, transforming into hard spears that seemed poised to pierce through Yemo.

"Earth Release: Protruding Spikes!"

Kakashi, who was a step behind, caught up, formed hand Hand Seals, and released Ninjutsu. Spikes of Kitsuchi shot out from the ground beneath his feet, knocking away all the golden chains that were attacking Yemo.

Yemo flipped and landed, rushing towards the dark figure within the white steam. After a brief exchange, the white steam thinned considerably under the breeze, revealing the elder hidden within.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Approaching the clan elder, Yemo raised his hand and shot out several Kunai, but the clan elder waved his hand, and a burst of Wind Release Chakra erupted, the powerful wind blowing away Kunai that Yemo had shot out.

Yemo originally intended to shoot out the Kunai with the Explosive Tag attached, but all the Explosive Tag had been used to blow up the giant tree, and he didn't have a single spare Explosive Tag on him.

Yemo leaped into the air and chopped down on the elder's head with a giant axe, but the elder shifted his feet slightly and easily dodged Yemo's attack. Yemo reacted quickly and, seeing that his first strike had failed, turned around and swept out with a kick.

Clatter...

The elder raised his hand to block, Yemo felt as if he had kicked steel instead of an arm, and his right ankle immediately throbbed with pain.

The elder who had been on the defensive suddenly attacked, grabbing Yemo's ankle tightly and throwing Yemo more than ten meters away as if he were wielding a stone.

"Wind Release: Air-Breaking Slash!"

Just then, Kakashi seized the opportunity to attack. At a distance of several meters, he raised his White Fang, which gleamed with a faint white light, and slashed out fiercely. A large amount of Wind Release Chakra gathered on the White Fang's blade, and this slash actually produced bursts of wind and thunder sounds.

At the same time, a Wind Release slash several meters long burst forth from the White Fang Blade. The Wind Release slash covered a short distance, and the wind arrived before the slash itself. The sharp wind scraped bloodstains on the face of the elder of the clan, showing how sharp the Wind Release slash was, even cutting the air in two.

Knowing that he couldn't withstand the Wind Release slash in front of him, the elder quickly dodged to the side. Kakashi's attack missed and landed on the pile of rubble where the elder had just been standing. With a loud bang, the several-meter-high pile of stones exploded, sending a large amount of rubble flying in all directions.

The shockwave from the explosion struck the elder, sending him flying. However, the elder was incredibly powerful; with a quick turn in mid-air, he landed steadily on the ground.

He glanced at Kakashi, then at the White Fang in Kakashi's hand, and asked, "I've heard that there's a ninja in Konoha who wields a short sword that emits white light from Chakra, known as 'Konoha's White Fang.' He's incredibly powerful, and even the Konoha Sannin treat him with respect. What's your relationship with him?"

News of Konoha's White Fang has been suppressed. Perhaps the higher-ups of the Five Great Shinobi Villages already know, but a small force like the Uzumaki Clan is unaware of the news of Konoha's White Fang's suicide.

"It is indeed my father!" Kakashi raised his sword and swung it, his posture seemingly bearing a resemblance to Hatake Sakumo.

"No wonder he has such strength at such a young age. It turns out he is known throughout the Shinobi World as 'Konoha's White Fang'." The elder of the clan spoke with a hint of respect. When the name Konoha's White Fang was mentioned, which ninja in the Shinobi World did not show respect?

After saying this, the elder snorted coldly, his killing intent palpable. "It's undeniable that you two brats possess extraordinary talent at such a young age, and you will definitely surpass many others in the future. However, you won't have that chance. Today, you will both die here." As he spoke, the elder's gaze shifted to Yemo on the other side. "Especially you, Yemo Uzumaki, I will personally crush you, this sinner of the Uzumaki Clan, to death, and then lead the Uzumaki Clan to become the strongest."

Hearing this, Yemo, who was lying on the ground, struggled to his feet. He glanced at the elder, then lowered his gaze and sneered, "Stop trying to decorate yourself with high-sounding words. What do you mean by 'for the sake of the Uzumaki Clan '? You're just sacrificing the rest of the Uzumaki Clan for your own ambition. How can Uzumaki Clan with less than a hundred members become the strongest?"

"Based on my plan to sacrifice everything, the plan has now succeeded. The bloodline of the remaining Uzumaki Clan will have the opportunity to be enhanced, and our bloodline power will be enhanced, even stronger than that of the Senju Clan. With the powerful bloodline of our ancestors, our Uzumaki Clan will gain great power, enough to rival the Senju Clan and Uchiha Clan." As he spoke, the elder became more and more excited, as if he could already see the future rise of the Uzumaki Clan.

"Enhance the bloodline!" Yemo murmured softly, a bright light flashing in his mind. Suddenly, it was as if a thread connected what he had seen and wondered over the past two days. Yemo felt as if the clouds had parted and the fog had cleared. He finally understood the Great Elder's plan. There was only one thing Yemo didn't understand: how the Great Elder had come up with this plan.

Looking up at the elder, Yemo gritted his teeth and said, "Elder, you are even less human than I imagined. In order to enhance your own bloodline, you not only collected the blood of the clan members through annual blood sacrifices for several years, but also absorbed their blood and Chakra at the last moment to purify a powerful bloodline force comparable to that of the ancestors and infuse it into yourself."

After hearing Yemo's words, Kakashi's gaze towards the clan elder was filled with anger and killing intent. This guy was no longer human; he was simply a heartless demon who was willing to sacrifice tens of thousands of people from his entire clan in order to gain power for himself.

Hahaha...

Faced with Yemo's insults, the clan elder not only wasn't angry, but instead laughed smugly, "Yemo, what can you do now that you understand? No one can stop me now. The God Tree is refining pure bloodline power. Before long, I will be able to use this bloodline power on myself. At that time, my bloodline will be comparable to the ancestors of the Senju Clan and Uzumaki Clan. Perhaps I will even be stronger than the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju. I will become the greatest ninja of this era."

Upon confirming the elder's plan, Yemo's expression turned extremely grave. He had considered that the people behind the scenes were plotting something big, but he had never imagined that they would plan something this big.

The bloodline power comparable to that of the common ancestor of the Uzumaki Clan and Senju Clan is that of the Sage of Sage of Six Paths, Asura Ōtsutsuki. If, as the elder of the clan said, this bloodline power is extracted and then obtained by someone behind the scenes, the impact will be terrifying.

Although the bloodline power of Asura Ōtsutsuki within the Uzumaki Clan has become increasingly diluted over thousands of years, it is still not impossible to extract it by gathering the bloodlines of all members of the Uzumaki Clan.

The clan elder's bloodline is capable of reaching the level of his ancestor Asura, and he has a very high chance of surpassing Hashirama Senju. Unfortunately, the clan elder is just a pawn being used. When the plan reaches its final stage, the mastermind will appear and seize the power of his bloodline.

Yemo was certain that the mastermind was watching everything from the sidelines, and would reveal himself at the crucial moment.
