Spreading Rumors and Counter-Rumors, Then More Rumors!

A ninja's battle is a battle of information.

Uchiha Ci attacked with taijutsu, and Kakuzu countered with taijutsu as well. Besides being provoked and wanting to beat up a brat, he was also probing.

After all, this brat had rushed in with a barrier without a word, and looked so confident that he could definitely cover the escape of the other two brats.

Kakuzu didn't believe the other party had no tricks up his sleeve.

Caution was his greatest trump card for surviving the Warring States period!

Ever since he was slapped by that person's wooden clone, Kakuzu's eyes had been clear from that moment on.

He had long since etched those two words into the very marrow of his bones.

At this moment, Seeing Uchiha Ci, who had endured a storm of taijutsu attacks, stand firm again, like an unkillable monster, with all the injuries on his body healed, he was only panting a little, looking a bit tired, His condition was simply too good.

Kakuzu couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

"Medical Ninjutsu? No, such a powerful healing effect is a bit unusual."

This level of combat endurance was not as exaggerated even when using Mystical Palm Technique while fighting.

Thinking of this, Kakuzu couldn't help but tilt his head slightly, looking towards the cliff above.

Besides the three brats, he remembered there was also a tall, middle-aged man in a yellow robe here.

Moreover, that person gave him a subtle feeling, Making him feel like he was difficult to kill.

"Hm?"

Just as Kakuzu turned his head, he suddenly froze, looking in a direction outside the barrier.

At some unknown time, The middle-aged ninja in the yellow robe had already appeared on the cliff outside the barrier, his eyes filled with an inexplicable shock, staring intently at the brat opposite him.

Seeing this, Kakuzu instantly understood.

"This terrifying forbidden jutsu, that guy taught it to this brat!"

"Are these two master and disciple? Is he surprised by his disciple's training progress?"

"Could it be that this guy wants to use me to hone his disciple?"

Kakuzu frowned, feeling that things were not as simple as they seemed.

This brat had set up a barrier for a one-on-one man-to-man battle, then produced such a troublesome forbidden jutsu, and then pushed his teammates aside to go alone, Acting as if not killing him would be an insult, It had scared the seventy-year-old comrade quite a bit.

He couldn't help but wonder, who was scamming whom?

Now that he looked at it, the situation was clear.

This kid definitely had someone backing him!

With this thought, Kakuzu's mindset began to undergo a subtle change.

On the field, Uchiha Ci looked at Kakuzu, his gaze slightly narrowed.

At this moment, he slightly sensed his internal condition. After using the Forbidden Jutsu: Corporeal Rebirth to recover, his body felt like rusted parts, not as functional as before.

This technique was powerful, but its side effects were also extremely exaggerated.

Shinnosuke could use this technique with almost no side effects because he combined it with the incomplete Zero-Tails chakra, essentially changing the power source.

Orochimaru could overuse this technique because he had body modification and Living Corpse Reincarnation; if it was damaged, he could just switch to another body.

As for Uchiha Ci, he was consuming his own life force.

He estimated that with his current body condition, he could only use Forbidden Jutsu: Corporeal Rebirth twice more before he would need immediate medical attention.

Otherwise, he would die from being drained of his life force.

Therefore, he only had two chances.

With this in mind, Uchiha Ci took a deep breath, and his Sharingan flashed with a streak of light.

He bent over and charged forward again in the same posture. The slight difference was that this time, in his hand, He held the Raging Whirlwind Water Blade entrusted to him by Terumi Mei!

Water Style: Water Fang Bullet!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three shuriken shot through the air!

"Thinking of attacking with the same move again?"

Kakuzu's eyes narrowed slightly. He immediately changed his position, flicking out three gathered Earth Grudge Fear tentacles, knocking away the shuriken while simultaneously crushing towards Uchiha Ci.

After the previous taijutsu exchange, Kakuzu had a rough estimate of the brat's reaction speed.

Hmm, a bit of a freak.

If it weren't for his peculiar body structure, using the Earth Grudge Fear threads to unexpectedly entangle the kunai, that brat's set of leg-attacking combos would have already landed.

Now the opponent pulled out a water blade capable of cutting through tentacles, This plan was clicking and clacking like abacus beads, just short of flying out and hitting the seventy-year-old comrade in the face.

Kakuzu wasn't stupid, so he naturally wouldn't stand there and let Uchiha Ci "fix" his legs again.

The combat situation immediately began to escalate.

Upon seeing Kakuzu change his move and shoot out a bunch of Earth Grudge Fear threads, Uchiha Ci's heart lit up with joy.

This water blade is so much better at tricking people than kunai!

Before he could even charge forward to "fix" Grandpa Kakuzu's legs, the old man generously sent over a bunch of valuable ninja tools!

Uchiha Ci immediately slammed on the brakes, stopping himself by stepping on the cliff face.

Then, he gripped his sword, flicking his wrist to perform a beautiful sword flourish.

His Sharingan stared intently at the furiously incoming tentacles.

Next, He raised his blade to his arm, adopted a lunge stance, and then, Suddenly slashed out!

First, Cloud Style: Deceiving Slash, which tricked Kakuzu's tentacles into grazing his right shoulder before he immediately followed up with another move, Cloud Style: Crescent Moon Slash!

Perfectly replicating the Cloud Style swordsmanship he had only seen once amidst volcanic boiling seas!

The rapidly spinning water blade suddenly lit up with three moon-like arcs of light!

Scrape! Scrape! Scrape!

The three tentacles Kakuzu had sent flying were severed in response.

Uchiha Ci quickly crouched down, gathering the large clump of tentacles hanging on the cliff face like shuffling mahjong tiles. With a grab of his large hand, he scooped them all into his ninja tool pouch.

He then immediately grinned, turned, and fled like lightning, repeatedly ducking and rolling to dodge several tentacle attacks.

In the midst of his evasive maneuvers, he pulled out the empty spool for his ninja tool threads and quickly reloaded it with the tangled mass of Earth Grudge Fear threads.

Only when he saw that the ninja tool thread spool was completely filled, Did Uchiha Ci reveal a smile of having gotten something for free.

Although Ci now seemed to possess a large array of ninjutsu and forbidden techniques, if one ignored the Fire Style jutsu like Great Fireball and Fire Style - Phoenix Sage Fire, which produced smoke but no damage, The only things that could actually pose a threat to Kakuzu, Were the two techniques he had just acquired from Great Elder Uchiha Setsuna.

Uchiha Style: Thread Manipulation Shuriken Technique!

This was the core of all of Uchiha Ci's current combat tactics.

There was only one word for it:

Speed!

So fast that the opponent wouldn't have time to form hand seals, wouldn't have time to unleash ninjutsu, wouldn't have time to defend!

When forced to dodge, they would inevitably reveal an opening, allowing Uchiha Ci to seize the opportunity for a decisive blow!

A third-rate Uchiha uses shuriken for feints, a second-rate Uchiha uses shuriken for surprise attacks, and a first-rate Uchiha uses shuriken to seize opportunities!

And the masterful Uchiha Style: Thread Manipulation Shuriken Technique!

Its rating was S, because, It itself, Was a killing move!
