Ninjas Are Deception

Kisame Hoshigaki and a Mist Ninja each clamped their twin swords between the other's Kusanagi Sword, while simultaneously gripping each other's arms with their other hands. Despite their shared intention of dying together, Uchiha Yoru laughed.

"Can't you use Ninjutsu with only one hand?"

With a strange smile, Uchiha Yoru used his other hand to form a hand Hand Seals. When Suikazan Fuguki saw this, he was truly shocked.

Konoha truly lives up to its reputation as a cradle of geniuses. This little prodigy possesses an enormous amount of Chakra, terrifying Ninjutsu talent, and a complete Lightning Style: Nintaijutsu. If Kisame Hoshigaki and another Mist Ninja hadn't fought to the death, how could they have so easily restrained their opponent?

"So what if it's a hand Hand Seals?"

Kisame Hoshigaki wore a mocking smile; he was well aware of the power of this Ninjutsu.

Water Release: Great Shark Bullet Technique. While it may not be considered the strongest Water Release technique, it is certainly regarded as one of the strongest. In the original work, Water Release at his peak was countered by Kisame Might Guy's Seventh Gate Daytime Tiger. Otherwise, this Ninjutsu would definitely be an Ultimate Technique Ninjutsu.

Because this Ninjutsu possesses the characteristics of Samehada, it can absorb the Chakra of all the Ninjutsu in front of it to strengthen itself. Unfortunately, in the original work, it encountered Might Guy's Daytime Tiger, who specializes in Taijutsu.

Earth Release: Multiple Earth-Style Walls

Suddenly, with a rumbling sound, five thick and solid walls rose from the earth. Each Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall was carved with a lifelike snake-head stone statue, and the Uchiha Clan's Gunbai emblem was also present on the sides.

"You little brat, you're trying to stop a chariot with your bare hands."

Seeing Uchiha Yoru perform Ninjutsu with a single hand Hand Seals, Suikazan Fuguki's eyes revealed a mocking smile. The Great Shark, roaring wildly, had already launched its attack.

When the solid Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall faced the shark formed by Water Release, its attribute, which should have been dominant, was reversed. Like paper, the shark was instantly devoured by the Chakra the solid earthen wall the moment it crashed into it.

Without Chakra, the wall could no longer maintain its solidity. At the same time, because the shark was too fast, it seemed as if it had been smashed to pieces. In reality, at the moment of contact, the wall's Chakra was completely absorbed. The earthen wall was already very fragile at the moment it lost its Chakra, which is why it appeared to be as fragile as paper.

The five thick city walls were torn apart in an instant. The shark from the Water Release: Great Shark Bullet Technique roared and attacked suddenly. Faced with such an attack, the three people reacted differently.

Kisame Hoshigaki wore an expression of relief and reminiscence, while another Mist Ninja laughed maniacally, his eyes filled with bloodlust; clearly, he was a ninja influenced by the Bloody Mist Policy and driven to extremism. Uchiha Yoru, however, viewed the Ninjutsu with admiration, praising, "A very good Ninjutsu, worthy of being called Ultimate Technique Ninjutsu."

Even A-Rank Ninjutsu are divided into different levels. Ninjutsu that can be called Ultimate Technique jutsu, and is not Ninjutsu that can be improved, is definitely the top of A-Rank Ninjutsu. In some aspects, it can even be compared with S-Rank Ninjutsu, or has the potential to be an S-Rank Ninjutsu.

Boom!

The instant the Ninjutsu attack passed, Suikazan Fuguki's figure suddenly appeared in front, his massive body wielding the Great Sword: Samehada with both hands as he swung it down.

Pfft~

As the Ninjutsu rained down, a Mist Ninja screamed as her frail body was torn to shreds. Kisame Hoshigaki, at the very back, groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood. Fortunately, he was in the last position, which greatly reduced his attack power. Combined with his strong physique, he was sent flying backward and seriously injured.

At the very front, Uchiha Yoru, who was the primary target of this Ninjutsu, was in a very sorry state.

Tick-tock~

Blood flowed across the ground. At this moment, Uchiha Yoru's arm and shoulder were gone, and his upper body was covered in blood.

With his extensive experience, Suikazan Fuguki grasped the essence of finishing off an opponent. His Great Sword: Samehada swung down, and Uchiha Yoru gripped his Kusanagi Sword with his other arm to block. Amidst the ear-piercing sound of metal clashing, Suikazan Fuguki revealed a bloodthirsty smile.

Blood splattered, the strength of two hands overwhelming one, even though that hand still held the severed hand of the previous Mist Ninja and was still gripping his arm tightly.

Unable to withstand the force, Great Sword: Samehada slammed down on the shoulder of the other arm, and blood splattered onto Suikazan Fuguki's cheek.

"Haha, kid, since you know about Great Sword: Samehada, you should know that Samehada is for slicing, not chopping. Let me slice off your last arm."

With blood splattered on his cheeks, Suikazan Fuguki grinned excitedly. As the most secretive of them all, he was always the type to act only after seeing the benefits. His cautious nature meant that he always used others as expendable pawns, while he was the one who ultimately reaped the rewards of victory.

While Suikazan Fuguki was excited, he was also somewhat afraid. How old was this kid? This time, even with so many of his elite troops working together, they almost failed. Fortunately, they managed to seize the opportunity in the end.

Just as the Suikazan Fuguki was laughing bloodthirstyly and suddenly exerted force with both arms to cut off the other's other shoulder, Kisame Hoshigaki had been flying backward and crashed into a tree stump in the distance, coughed up a mouthful of blood. In the instant he regained consciousness in the excruciating pain, he saw the crater behind the figure in the distance. He was immediately covered in cold sweat and was about to scream when it was too late.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning pierced the earth beneath the feet of the Suikazan Fuguki in the distance.

Lightning Release: Chidori Sharp Spear

With a deafening roar, a bolt of lightning pierced the earth, splattering blood and carrying the terrified look in Suikazan Fuguki's eyes. In his panic, he released his Great Sword: Samehada, but the lightning still managed to pierce his shoulder.

Boom!

A figure burst forth from the earth Uchiha Yoru, panting heavily, emerged wearily, his palms still crackling with lightning. Suikazan Fuguki, however, hurriedly flashed backward dozens of meters in fear of death before finally stopping.

As the sound of Great Sword: Samehada falling to the ground rang out, Suikazan Fuguki, who had landed some distance away, stared at the scene in shock, clutching his shoulder as one of his arms went numb and he lost the ability to move.

"How is that possible!"

Amidst the furious and resentful roars of the Suikazan Fuguki, its small eyes caught something that caused the man's pupils to shrink. He saw that the one-armed Uchiha Yoru was slowly deflated like a punctured balloon.

There, on the spot, lay the deflated, one-armed Uchiha Yoru with a gash on his back. Yellowish-brown muddy water slowly oozed from his skin, and the limp Uchiha Yoru resembled a deflated ball.

But there was a hole behind him. It turned out that when Uchiha Yoru released the Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall with one hand Hand Seals in the critical moment, it was just to attract everyone's attention. He knew from the beginning that this Ninjutsu could not be blocked, so he had secretly used the Substitution Technique.

Great Snake Substitute Technique

At the same time, he left his Mud Clone inside the skin, while his main body burrowed into the ground the moment he was attacked.

The difference is that Orochimaru doesn't mind crawling out of his mouth to shed his skin, but he and Sasuke in the original work chose to shed their skin from the abdomen and the back, respectively.

This Substitution Technique requires a considerable amount of Chakra, and the user was covered in some slime, but it dried quickly in the night breeze. At this moment Uchiha Yoru upper body was torn after the battle, caught the Kusanagi Sword in the clone's hand as the Mud Clone collapsed.

At this moment, Uchiha Yoru was panting heavily, having expended a lot of Chakra. Now, he was almost completely unharmed and even showed a confident smile as he stretched his neck.

"I don't usually use this Ninjutsu because I don't like the sticky feeling, and I'm not used to it yet. But this time it was really dangerous; it was so close."

Kisame Hoshigaki, leaning against the broken tree behind him, exclaimed in shock upon seeing this scene, "A monster, truly a monster."

Holding the Kusanagi Sword, Uchiha Yoru was shirtless. He looked at the Great Sword: Samehada at his feet, then raised his head and gave a mocking smile to the distant Suikazan Fuguki.

"Hey fat pig, it seems you've lost your Great Sword: Samehada. Want to come get it?"

Clutching his injured arm, Suikazan Fuguki revealed a ferocious grin. The usually cautious Suigetsu Hozuki had been caught off guard and had even lost his Great Sword: Samehada in front of his enemy.

"Kid, this ninja sword isn't something you can handle."

Suikazan Fuguki revealed a ferocious and angry expression. After roaring, he took out a Kunai with an Explosive Tag attached from his Tool Pouch and threw it over. At the same time, he lunged forward, clearly intending to use the threat of the Kunai to take back his weapon.

Faced with Kunai carrying Explosive Tag, Uchiha Yoru either quickly picks up the Great Sword: Samehada, or abandons Great Sword: Samehada to dodge.

If it weren't for knowing the properties of Suikazan Fuguki, the fuming expression on Suikazan Fuguki's Great Sword: Samehada would have truly fooled him, making him seem like a fool.

However, Uchiha Yoru, who knew all the information, slowly curled up the corner of his mouth. Faced with this attack, he reached out and grabbed the Great Sword: Samehada, and at the same time, he used his legs to dodge the Kunai that was shot with Explosive Tag.

Just as Uchiha Yoru grabbed the Great Sword: Samehada, the expression on Suikazan Fuguki, which had been showing signs of anger and embarrassment, suddenly changed, turning into a sinister sneer of triumph.

Pfft~

Suddenly, countless sharp barbs burst forth from the hilt of the Great Sword: Samehada, and blood splattered everywhere. Uchiha Yoru feigned shock and anger and hastily released his grip.

Boom!

At that moment, Kunai carrying Explosive Tag also shot out. After a loud explosion, Uchiha Yoru hurriedly dodged to a distance of several dozen meters.

Tick-tock~

Blood dripped from his palm onto the ground. At this moment Uchiha Yoru held the Kusanagi Sword in one hand and coldly stared into the smoke of the distant explosion.

"Heh, since you already knew that the Great Sword: Samehada was used to cut people, how could you be so careless?"

As if his wicked scheme had succeeded, the enormous figure of Suikazan Fuguki appeared as the smoke dissipated, his face filled with a sarcastic smile as he looked at Uchiha Yoru.

The sharp barbs protruding from the handle of the Great Sword: Samehada lying on the ground slowly retracted, but the bloodstains were still clearly visible.

"Uchiha brat, it seems your information isn't so accurate."

Beneath his mocking smile, Suikazan Fuguki seemed to be retaliating for being deceived earlier. He had been tricked and injured his shoulder, and this time his plan had also injured his opponent's hand, so they were even.

Picking up his Great Sword: Samehada, Suikazan Fuguki grinned menacingly. "Kid, you've been using Forbidden Technique from the start, and that Substitution Technique just now—that must have consumed a lot of Chakra. And with all the Ninjutsu you've used, how much Chakra do you have left?"

At this moment Uchiha Yoru, panting heavily and covered in sweat, seemed to confirm the other party's guess, breathing heavily as his Chakra was indeed almost depleted.

"You brat!"

Just as Suikazan Fuguki was about to spout his nonsense, a hidden Mist Ninja sensory abilities suddenly shouted, "Not good! Konoha's reinforcements have arrived!"

Upon hearing this, the Suikazan Fuguki revealed a ferocious grin, "Kid, I'll send you on your way right now!"

However, the instant he finished speaking, the Great Sword: Samehada in his hand suddenly felt strange. When he raised Samehada from his grasp, his pupils suddenly contracted.

This wasn't Samehada at all; it was clearly a giant snake, its entire body covered in Explosive Tag that were flashing with Kakkō. At the same time, the python's tail was tightly wrapped around his arm, making it impossible for him to break free in the short term.

"Not good!"

Just as the Explosive Tag was about to explode, Suikazan Fuguki's pupils contracted and he suddenly shouted. Although his arm was wrapped by the python, his hand was still intact. In desperation, he forcibly lifted his other arm and quickly Hand Seals a hand seal, causing a huge water ball to appear beside him, which simultaneously enveloped both of his arms.

Water Release: Water Prison Technique

The Explosive Tag inside the giant water sphere detonated with a muffled sound. In the instant the Ninjutsu was released, Suikazan Fuguki turned pale, and he leaped backward to avoid being attacked.

Splash~

After a muffled explosion, the water sphere was completely red inside. As the Chakra input stopped, the crimson water splattered all over the ground.

When his arms were revealed, the damage was extremely horrific; in some places, the bone was exposed. The Ninjutsu that Suikazan Fuguki had released with gritted teeth at the last moment had backfired! After all, one of his arms was already injured, and forcibly mobilizing Chakra had clearly resulted in a backlash. At this moment, the injury to that arm was even more severe, and the Chakra within his meridians was surging wildly.

Pfft~

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, the Suikazan Fuguki roared like a demon from hell, "You brat, where are you hiding my Great Sword: Samehada?!"

At that moment, Uchiha Yoru slowly raised his hand, which was dripping with blood, and revealed a confident smile.

"Ninjas are all about deception. Didn't your first lesson at the Mist Ninja Academy teach you that? Or were you just sleeping all the time, you fat pig?"

How could he not know about Great Sword: Samehada? He had suspected it from the moment the other party dropped Great Sword: Samehada; he believed it was a trap set by the other party using Samehada's stealth properties.

Sure enough, he secretly used the Hidden Shadow Snake Hands, and at the same time used Transformation Jutsu to turn a giant snake into his arm. The hand that gripped Great Sword: Samehada was actually this giant snake, so the bleeding from being pricked by the barbs was real, because it was the giant snake's blood.

At that moment, under the cover of the Explosive Tag, he released two giant snakes. One of the snakes transformed into the shape of Great Sword: Samehada, while the Explosive Tag covering Samehada were transformed into the bandages wrapped around Samehada using Transformation Jutsu.

The other giant serpent opened its gaping maw and swallowed Samehada whole. Samehada's docile behavior was naturally due to Sealing Jutsu.

Self-Exerting Curse Binding Seal

The Sealing Jutsu used by Danzo involves covering an enemy with Cursed Seal that can immobilize them. Danzo once used this technique to restrain Sasuke's movements.

He also used this Sealing Jutsu to bind Great Sword: Samehada, since Samehada is a living being and can naturally be bound.

Unable to resist, Great Sword: Samehada was swallowed whole by Orochi, who then dispelled the Summoning Jutsu, leaving only Samehada, which Orochi had created, on the spot.

Ninja tactics are always based on deception, relying on all kinds of intelligence and utilizing everything at their disposal.

Unless one's strength reaches the level of Hashirama Senju or Madara Uchiha, where one's power is enough to sweep everything aside, then naturally one should just activate the Gundam and attack.

Thank you to all my brothers for your support. Jinli will work hard to write every chapter well.
