Pinching Kakashi in Hand, Stepping on Yamato Underfoot, Laughing to the Sky

[Fusion successful. Congratulations, host, on obtaining the Excellent Entry Wood Release Cells · Remnant (Blue). Wood Release cell division speed decreased.]

With the support of Wood Release: Wood Locking Wall!

Wood Release Cells · Remnant!

Finally had some improvement.

Uchiha Jin closed his eyes and sensed for a moment. The cell division speed Inside the Body had already dropped by half.

This discovery made him breathe a sigh of relief: "At least it can be fixed."

"Otherwise, the dual drain on body and mind would be too much for little old me."

Who would have thought that relying on Wood Release to balance the Mangekyo's consumption would now end up draining both instead?

"I hate defective products!"

He muttered, shifting his gaze away.

But just then, he suddenly noticed that the other Entry above his Top of the Head seemed to be subtly changing.

The originally pitch-black [Seven-Year Itch] appeared to have dimmed a little.

From that dense, terrifying depth that could scare a person to death at first glance, it had faded.

And faintly, the black mass of light churned and shifted.

Before long, the original Seven-Year Itch had transformed into—Six-Year Cycle.

[Detected that the host has spent six years finally gaining the ability to change fate. Entry is transforming.]

[Upon successful transformation, the host will obtain the God-Tier Entry Six-Six Smooth Sailing (Rainbow).]

"Six-Six Smooth Sailing? What kind of Entry is that?"

Seeing the system prompt, Jin's dark pupils suddenly lit up.

He only had two Rainbow Entries in total right now.

But!

Whether it was Golden Body of Light or Weak Presence, both were conceptual!

He could say these two were the key to safely looting corpses and growing!

Unavoidably, he began to look forward to this Entry.

But beneath him, Yamato had woken up several times and been knocked out again. The sky was nearly dark by now.

And the Entry showed no sign of transformation.

It was still a hazy mass, displayed on his body.

"Forget it, transform on your own time."

The moonlight grew brighter.

A sliver of silver light spilled over the dense forest, slanting down to the edge of the pit.

Jin's face was lit in flickering patches of light and shadow.

After an entire day, he had finally confirmed—the time needed for this Entry's transformation was not short.

Or rather...

"Does it really require completely changing the Night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre for the transformation to succeed?"

"If that's the case, I can't keep waiting for that traitor Itachi... he's too slow."

He moved his neck, stiff from a day of stillness.

A series of crisp cracks rang out from his body.

Who could understand the pain of staying motionless for a whole day, only moving to slap Yamato whenever he was about to wake up!

"Ugh... it hurts... why does my head feel like someone hit me..."

Below, Yamato, knocked out for the seventh time, rubbed his head.

He felt a terrible headache.

"Awake again?"

Without a second thought, Jin raised his hand to strike down again when a sudden disturbance came from behind.

Rustle, rustle, rustle.

A tall figure slowly stepped out from behind the trees.

Wearing a mask, with a head of silver spiky hair, Kakashi emerged.

With a strange expression on his face, he said, "Ahem... Jin, if you keep patting him like that, this kid's head is going to get smashed in."

"Oh, Kakashi-senpai, is surveillance these days so blatant that you just walk right up to me?"

Jin glanced over and said flatly.

But the corner of his mouth, hidden from view, curled up slightly.

The fish had taken the bait.

Even though Kakashi was still in the seven-day cooldown for Trait Copy, making him utterly uninteresting to chat with.

But!

The guy's reaction to the Chakra Wave after seeing Yamato get injured was obvious.

So Jin guessed that by this point, the two of them were already quite familiar with each other.

And he... just so happened to need a fixed NPC to farm Wood Release.

After all, aside from farming Danzo, the only source of Wood Release Cells right now was Yamato.

Danzo... a man on death's door, not worth farming more than a few times.

But Yamato would live for a very long time.

If he got lucky and copied First Generation Cells, could fusing them a few times generate a Legendary Trait?

"Ahem..."

Kakashi walked over slowly, lingering shock still in his eyes.

He knew this Second Young Master of the Uchiha clan was no ordinary person.

In fact, his strength was very mysterious.

He could often detect Kakashi without a sound, and vanish just as silently.

His stealth skills were remarkable.

But today, what had he seen?

From the moment he left the academy grounds, he'd been beating Yamato senseless.

All the way to the village outskirts, no longer holding back, casually thrashing Yamato.

And Kakashi could see clearly—Yamato had broken more than half his ribs!

If he kept this up, wouldn't Yamato be beaten to death?

So he had no choice but to step in, trying to help Yamato escape danger.

But...

He didn't realize he was walking into danger himself.

Kakashi wore an awkward smile as he walked over, pointing at Yamato's body and said, "This one's different from other Root members—he has his own thoughts, and he's a good person."

Every word carried the same meaning.

He's a good guy, don't hit him.

"None of my business," Jin said directly without turning around.

One sentence made the awkwardness on Kakashi's face even more obvious.

The atmosphere grew strange.

In the pit, Yamato struggled to prop himself up and stand.

He'd naturally heard the conversation just now, a flash of shame in his eyes as he stubbornly said, "Kakashi-senpai, you don't need to beg for me—"

Boom!

Another massive force struck.

The small figure of Jin leaped into the air, descending in a straight line!

Fast as a bolt of lightning!

He brought his foot down directly.

Thud—crack!

Yamato was once again stomped hard into the center of the pit.

His entire body was nearly embedded into the ground, flush with the surface.

"Pfft—"

This time, he couldn't hold on any longer, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out.

His injuries were exceptionally severe.

"So fast! Jin's taijutsu is no weaker than a typical jonin!"

"I've never heard of the Uchiha being known for taijutsu or physical strength..."

This scene made Kakashi's pupils contract once more.

The speed was so fast that he could only see afterimages.

But when he saw Yamato's injuries, he grew anxious:

"Kinoe! Stop!"

He couldn't gauge Uchiha Jin's current mindset.

But out of concern for Yamato, he felt he needed to act.

Crackle, crackle.

In his right hand, a bolt of lightning flickered faintly.

Blue-white electric light spread through the air, gradually expanding.

Lightning Release: Chidori!

Fast! And with physical strength strong enough to tear through Wood Release!

This guy—he couldn't afford to take him lightly.

So he led with a killing move.

To avoid losing track of Jin, he even deliberately lowered his left eye.

Within his pupil, three crimson tomoe spun steadily.

Sharingan!

Then, his entire form transformed into a bolt of lightning, charging forward!

Zzzap—

So fast that only the sound of electricity remained in the air.

Zzzap—

Slap!

But the moment he landed, the lightning was snapped apart!

Crushed by a single violent hand!

One of Jin's feet still pressed down on Yamato's chest, while the other hand—a crimson Large Hand formed from his small one—clenched tightly around Kakashi's neck two meters ahead.

A flicker of restlessness passed through his eyes.

He smiled, somewhat mockingly:

"Kakashi, using something from the Uchiha clan against an Uchiha—isn't that a bit naive?!"

Across from him.

Kakashi struggled wildly.

But the moment he looked up, he suddenly froze.

Across from him.

A complete pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan clearly reflected his own pathetic state.
