And its power was terrifying!
With a deafening boom, Shinnosuke Sarutobi lost to Qianyu in both technique and strength. He was blasted backward in an instant, crashing heavily to the ground and gouging out a massive crater!
"Captain!"
For a moment, cries of alarm filled the area. More than twenty elite Anbu operatives immediately roared and charged at Qianyu from all directions!
A bloody battle erupted once more!
Shinnosuke Sarutobi... Dead!
The force Qianyu faced now was more than ten times greater than what he had faced in the Anbu prison!
Not only was there Shinnosuke Sarutobi, an elite Jonin, but every Anbu ninja here was far more elite than those in the prison.
This was a battle that was nearly impossible to win.
Yet Qianyu still pressed forward without hesitation.
If he took even one step back, then he would not be Uchiha Qianyu.
In that clash with Shinnosuke Sarutobi just now, both had gone all out. Although Qianyu had held the advantage in strength, the other man's Wind Blade naturally countered his False Darkness Blade.
Qianyu was not doing well either. The impact had numbed the webbing between his thumb and forefinger, while the Wind Blade had carved countless tiny bloody cuts across both hands!
Not to mention that he had already expended too much Chakra, and his body was covered in wounds of all sizes.
But he still had to...
Call him someone who ignored the bigger picture, call him reckless and impulsive, call him someone who did not know the meaning of death...
It did not matter!
He only wanted justice!
Those who deserved to die always somehow escaped death...
Then he would kill them himself!
If he yielded even one step, then there would be no meaning in having come to this world!
If he dodged even once, then his so-called fairness and justice would be meaningless!
With a furious roar, Qianyu drove the Eye Power of his Sharingan to its limit. Its blood-red glow flared brilliantly, and as he charged forward like lightning, crimson streaks of light flashed through the air!
The False Darkness Blade in his hand was like silver lightning tearing through space. With the Sharingan's ultimate perception, it precisely blocked every violent attack.
Then, seizing an opening, he drove the blade viciously into an Anbu ninja's chest!
Lightning exploded!
With a violent blast, that Anbu ninja's chest exploded as well, leaving behind a massive bloody hole!
[You successfully helped Nai Quan escape his sunless existence. Good. Merit Points +80!]
"Nai Quan!"
At the sight, Shinnosuke Sarutobi was overcome with rage. Roaring at the top of his lungs, he took the lead and charged at Qianyu once again!
"Wind Style! Great Breakthrough!"
"Fire Style! Fire Dragon Bullet!"
"Combined Ninjutsu..."
"Wind Fire Great Barrage!"
In an instant, fire fed the wind, and wind fueled the fire. Shinnosuke Sarutobi's Combined Ninjutsu transformed into a blazing azure dragon swept up by a hurricane, rolling toward Qianyu like a burning tornado!
Qianyu could not help but tremble inwardly.
As expected of Hiruzen Sarutobi's biological son...
He did not know how much of Hiruzen Sarutobi's power the man had inherited, but...
At the very least, he possessed Wind Style, Fire Style, and perhaps even more powers. Moreover...
He could blend them together so perfectly, forming his own unique Combined Ninjutsu.
On top of that, he could also channel Chakra into his katana, creating an ability similar to Shimura Danzō's Wind Style: Vacuum Blade...
Shinnosuke Sarutobi was indeed incredibly powerful!
Otherwise, he could never have become the head of the Anbu, known as Hiruzen Sarutobi's right-hand man!
But Qianyu also understood that no matter how powerful a ninjutsu was, it meant nothing if it could not hit its target.
He drove the Sharingan's Eye Power to its limit. In terms of perception alone, there was likely no one in the entire ninja world who could surpass him!
In the blink of an eye, Qianyu had already evaded the violent attack.
The Combined Ninjutsu, Wind Fire Great Barrage, only blasted apart the boulders and trees behind him. The ground split and mountains crumbled as sand and stones flew everywhere. Massive rocks shattered in an instant, while the great tree was reduced to ash and dust!
Qianyu's movements did not slow in the slightest, because behind the Wind Fire Great Barrage, waves of concealed weapons and ninja tools were already pouring down like a raging storm!
But to him, attacks that relied on sheer numbers meant nothing.
The Three Tomoe of Qianyu's Sharingan spun rapidly. Amid flashing blood-red light, his body moved like lightning, like a streak of light, like a breath of wind, flowing through the storm of attacks and evading the vast majority of them.
The next instant, the False Darkness Blade in his hand broke through every attack once more and slashed viciously at Shinnosuke Sarutobi alone!
No matter how chaotic the enemy's attacks became, Qianyu kept his eyes fixed solely on the true culprit!
Shinnosuke Sarutobi was equally enraged. The Wind Style: Vacuum Blade in his hand met Qianyu's fierce assault with a counterattack!
Their blades collided violently once again!
"Die!"
The two roared at the same time as violent power burst forth. A clash of Nintaijutsu was not merely a contest of taijutsu, ninjutsu, strength, and Chakra—it was also a comprehensive test of perception, techniques, fighting spirit, combat experience, and battle wisdom!
Qianyu's Chakra was slightly inferior due to the elemental disadvantage.
But in terms of strength, he suppressed Shinnosuke Sarutobi.
As for perception, he stood far above Shinnosuke Sarutobi!
In this close-quarters brawl, Qianyu clearly held the upper hand!
This was Qianyu's fighting style.
No matter what kind of ninja you are, no matter how much your strengths surpass mine...
All I need to do is evade your attacks, then drag you into the close combat I excel at most...
And victory will be assured!
And now, that was exactly what had happened.
As Shinnosuke Sarutobi fought Qianyu at close range, he gradually began to feel powerless.
The other man's Sharingan perception was simply too formidable, repeatedly forcing him into danger.
If not for the combat experience and instincts he had built up over the years...
He would likely have died many times already!
Moreover, since the two were engaged in close combat, those elite Anbu subordinates did not dare attack recklessly for fear of hitting him.
Clearly, this too had been part of Qianyu's plan!
"You damned bastard!"
"If I don't kill you today, I swear I'm not human!"
Yet the angrier Shinnosuke Sarutobi became, the deeper he fell into Qianyu's rhythm.
Very quickly, the False Darkness Blade in Qianyu's hand completely suppressed him.
As the blood-red glow of the Sharingan flickered...
Qianyu's katana suddenly knocked aside the other man's blade. Then, with a vicious upward sweep, he actually sent the Vacuum Blade flying!
Shinnosuke Sarutobi inwardly cursed...
But it was already too late.
The False Darkness Blade in Qianyu's hand descended with absolute precision, guided by the Sharingan's Eye Power!
"No..."
Shinnosuke Sarutobi did not even have time to cry out...
The False Darkness Blade had already come crashing down!
At that very moment.
Three groups finally arrived at once.
Lord Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, racing over from the Hokage's Office.
Elder Yashiro Uchiha, who had come from Police Force headquarters and joined up with Yakumi Uchiha and the others.
And...
Fugaku, the Uchiha clan head, who had been pushed out under Anbu custody to stop the war!
In that lightning-fast instant...
The three groups and their three leaders cried out in alarm at the same time!
