It Turns Out the Land of Whirlpools Has a Kage-level Expert!!

The dust settled!!

The battlefield fell silent. Everyone stared in disbelief at the seven-year-old child standing atop a vast stretch of ruins. His shattered red hair fluttered in the wind, his right hand casually tucked behind his back as his icy gaze swept over the Mist Ninja!!

The Mist Ninja immediately shuddered. Th-this... this was the bearing of a fucking master!!

Ah, pfft! No, that wasn't right. What they should have been thinking was that the Three-Tails, a Tailed Beast, had just been beaten back and actually retreated into its seal.

Tailed Beasts were creatures that yearned for freedom and fresh air!

Yet it had actually retreated. What else could that be but fear? The Three-Tails had probably felt its life was threatened and no longer dared to come out and fight. Even a Tailed Beast had chickened out—let alone them!!

Especially that ninjutsu the child had used just now... what exactly was it?

That presence, that power, that light—it was terrifying as hell!!

Seeing the Three-Tails go limp, the Six-Tails shuddered. Were children these days all this powerful? Did Tailed Beasts have no future left? Were they destined to be treated like balls and tossed around by humans?

Tailed Beasts would never—

Just as it was about to fire a Tailed Beast Ball, it saw the child's cold gaze turn toward it and lock onto it...

Staying alive was what mattered. Staying alive was what mattered!!

The Six-Tails immediately dared not move. Actually, being tied up like this wasn't so bad.

What no one knew was that Xun Uzumaki had looked at the Six-Tails out of fear. Without Sage Mode, the Rasenshuriken was too damaging to his hand, especially since it was Sage Release. His little hand was trembling now, completely unable to exert any strength. Not only had it been injured, it was fucking petrified too. Otherwise, why would he have kept it behind his back?

Wasn't it all to bluff those Mist Ninja? He was only seven years old. Prince Naruto had nearly been an adult when he first used this move, and even then his wrist had been injured, let alone Xun.

So...

His bearing could not falter. He could not let them see that he was already unable to use ninjutsu. Otherwise, Hozuki Gengetsu might very well risk everything to take him down, because...

The ninja world could not allow another God of the Ninja World to appear.

Xun Uzumaki knew that he could not move now—or rather, he could not reveal even the slightest sign of injury. Otherwise, someone might notice something. So he stood atop the Three-Tails' sealing furnace, gazing disdainfully over the battlefield!

Fuck, where were the Clan Elders and elders? Why hadn't they shown up yet?!

He needed help!

And the other Uzumaki Clan members—why weren't they coming up to rescue him?

Had their blockheadedness kicked in again?

Fuck!!

Could they stop looking at him with disbelief and admiration?

His right hand hurt so badly that he could not even use the Flying Thunder God Technique on a kunai! Without someone blocking their line of sight, how could Xun Uzumaki dare to casually turn around? What if they discovered the aftereffects of this ninjutsu?

Bluff them. No matter what, he had to bluff them!!

If he bluffed them, the war would end. If he failed, they would probably go mad and insist on killing him!

What he did not know was that the Uzumaki Clan had already been bluffed by Xun Uzumaki. They were utterly stunned inside. So their Prince Xun was actually this damn awesome! If that was the case, what did the Uzumaki Clan have to fear? Why not just crush Kirigakure outright?

Use Adamantine Sealing Chains to bind the Tailed Beast, then let Prince Xun attack—one move, one kill!!

Even the Mizukage...

The Uzumaki Clan stared at Hozuki Gengetsu with ill intent. Perhaps...

They could kill him?

Just thinking about it excited them! The Land of Whirlpools had produced another Kage-level expert, and a seven-year-old one at that. Who could guarantee that Xun Uzumaki would not become the next God of the Ninja World?

No wonder Prince Xun had not feared Kirigakure. It turned out he was...

Too strong!!

He simply did not regard Kirigakure as worthy of notice! Hadn't they seen that the Uzumaki Clan had suffered few losses while Kirigakure had lost so many people?

Therefore...

The Uzumaki Clan got carried away!!

Their eyes glowed red as they stared fixedly at the Mist Ninja, seeming ready to charge forward and fight to the death.

Xun Uzumaki's eyelids twitched at the sight. These blockheads weren't seriously planning to do it for real, were they?!

He only had that one attack in him. Another was already impossible. They had better not suddenly lose their minds—he had not built up these assets easily!!

Calm down! Calm down! Wasn't staying alive a good thing?

What he did not know was that Kirigakure was terrified now!

Those Uzumaki ninja had such horrifying looks in their eyes, as if they wanted to swallow them whole. Perhaps when they had first seen such expressions, they would have been delighted. This was the normal Uzumaki Clan! They would surely shout, "Come fight! Come fight! Anyone who doesn't fight isn't a man!"

But seeing those expressions now...

It was terrifying as hell!!

Hadn't they seen how absurdly powerful even a seven-year-old Uzumaki ninja was?

And that ninjutsu that had reached the Tailed Beast in an instant...

Space-Time Ninjutsu?

If that was the case, then the number of Mist Ninja meant nothing to him.

Didn't they see that even the Mizukage was staring warily at this seven-year-old boy, not daring to make any rash moves?

Hozuki Gengetsu stared at Xun Uzumaki in disbelief. This seven-year-old boy...

Kage-level!!

Absolutely Kage-level. And with Space-Time Ninjutsu, along with that unbelievable technique that even made him, the Mizukage, feel fear—this was a technique capable of taking on Tailed Beasts head-on!

Too terrifying!!

And with such immense Chakra and vitality, possessing Kage-level strength at seven years old, he was undoubtedly the next God of the Ninja World! He might even be more terrifying than Hashirama!!

After all, Hashirama hadn't been this absurdly powerful at seven!

Why didn't you Uzumaki Clan say earlier that you had a Kage-level fighter? Wasn't this just screwing people over? And using schemes, Shadow Clones, such underhanded tactics—was that something a Kage-level powerhouse should come up with?

A true powerhouse should have a flesh-and-blood showdown!!

And...

Don't use Space-Time Ninjutsu.

So Hozuki Gengetsu didn't dare move recklessly. That profound gaze, that cold smile—this kid was too frightening! Even if he went up himself, he probably wouldn't be able to catch him. Better wait and see what happened.

If Xun Uzumaki had known Hozuki Gengetsu's thoughts, he would definitely have spat in his face. Why didn't you go brawl with the Raikage? Bullying a seven-year-old kid—what shameless nerve.

Seeing the Clan Elders gather around him, Xun Uzumaki finally relaxed somewhat.

Keeping a blank expression, he calmly walked over to the Great Elder and said in a low voice, "Seal the Three-Tails. Retreat!!"

The Great Elder's gaze sharpened. He nodded subtly. Though he did not know why they were retreating at such a favorable moment, he could tell that Little Xun...

Something was wrong.

Then, out of sight of the Mist Ninja, Xun Uzumaki hurriedly activated the Flying Thunder God Technique. The backlash from the Rasenshuriken hurt like hell! He was practically unable to endure it any longer! He needed to get to the medical department for treatment immediately!

In any case, now that he had the Flying Thunder God Technique, he wasn't afraid of being discovered. But before leaving, there was still one thing he needed to do...

Glare at the Six-Tails!!

When Six-Tails Saiken saw that this seven-year-old powerhouse was still giving it a look, it immediately cowered and obediently allowed itself to be bound. Though this posture was a little humiliating, it was still better than getting beaten until it cried for its dad!

Xun Uzumaki looked at the Six-Tails's reaction with satisfaction. Not bad. Looks like he had bluffed it. Once the Uzumaki Clan retreated, the Mist Ninja could risk their lives fighting the Six-Tails themselves. As for...

The Three-Tails!!

It was for negotiations!

"Still too weak," Xun Uzumaki muttered. Then he activated the Flying Thunder God formula and vanished from the battlefield in an instant.
