The Blue Fireworks

The Demon Brothers Meizu and Gozu were just minor characters in the Hokage storyline, but that was relative to someone like Kakashi.

Today, if any other ordinary squad had their leader held back, the three newly promoted Genin would have absolutely no chance of winning against a Mist Ninja Chunin who had been through countless battles; it would be a one-sided slaughter.

Seeing the ninja lunging at him, Yu felt no pressure. The gap in their strength was simply too vast.

He even had time to glance back at Tazuna, who was standing behind them.

"I expect a satisfactory explanation from you later."

Yu's voice reached Tazuna's ears, making his already panicked expression even more severe.

However, before Yu could make a move, Fujiwara Chima, standing beside him, swung her weapon and charged towards the Mist Ninja Meizu. At this close range, her bow and arrows were of little use, so she had to resort to a melee weapon.

Immediately after, Sai drew his sword and joined Fujiwara Chima in facing Meizu's attack.

Although Sai held the title of Genin, his strength was at the Chunin level, and having grown up under Root's training, his combat awareness was also quite good.

However, Sai dared not fight with his full strength, or he might expose his true identity.

In fact, within this team, only Fujiwara Chima was unaware of Sai's true identity. Of course, Sai also didn't know that Fujiwara Chima was the only one in the team who didn't know his identity.

Although the relationship was a bit convoluted, it was the current reality.

Danzo didn't tell Sai that Yamashiro Aoba knew his identity, in order to make Sai more cautious, thus allowing him to better integrate into Team 99.

Hiding one's strength was actually harder than fighting at full power. Sai had an opportunity to attack Meizu, but he could only choose to give it up.

Fujiwara Chima's strength lay mostly in her archery skills; her close-combat ability was not very good, so she had no advantage against Meizu.

Moreover, the strength gap between Genin and Chunin was already very large.

Although Meizu was just a minor character, his strength was still considerable, considered an elite Chunin. He just had bad luck and encountered a cheater like Kakashi, which instantly led to his death.

But at this moment, Meizu was facing a Chunin who was hiding his strength and a Genin with average close-combat skills, so the difference in strength was immediately apparent. Sai and Fujiwara Chima were no match for Meizu.

The Demon Brothers both used chains as their weapons. The long chains were very flexible in Meizu's hands, allowing for both offense and defense.

Seeing Sai and Fujiwara Chima expose an opening, Meizu directly kicked out, sending Fujiwara Chima flying. She landed on the ground and rolled a few times.

Sai, who was trying to hide his strength, naturally couldn't escape being beaten. Moreover, he fared worse than Fujiwara Chima. One end of Meizu's chain struck his back, and he fell to the ground face-first, eating dirt.

Meizu didn't press his advantage because their target was Tazuna. Once the target was eliminated, they would retreat, especially since there was Yamashiro Aoba present besides Yu.

As an assassin, one must retreat immediately after eliminating the target; blind combat is not advisable.

Therefore, after knocking down Fujiwara Chima and Sai, Meizu immediately set his sights on Yu.

"This brat doesn't even have the courage to come up and fight me. It seems Konoha only cultivates cowards like this." Meizu thought this in an instant, but his actions didn't stop.

The chain in his hand transformed into a long whip, creating a "whoosh" sound as it cut through the air. If an ordinary person were hit by this blow, their body would likely explode.

The whip-like chain, imbued with immense power, lashed out at Yu. Meizu could already see Yu's tragic fate.

At this moment, it was unfortunate for Meizu, who lacked experience, that he didn't recognize Yu's Sharingan at first glance. Otherwise, he wouldn't have attacked so recklessly, as the Uchiha clan had left many unpleasant memories for the Mist Ninja.

"Clink!"

The next second, Yu extended a hand and easily caught the whip-like chain, as if catching a rope. Yu's body didn't even move.

Then, an extremely powerful Chakra erupted from Yu's body, rising like blue flames.

Meizu was stunned by this sight.

"How can a mere brat possess such immense Chakra? Even that monster Kisame wouldn't compare!"

This was Meizu's last thought.

Because the next moment, as Yu tightened his grip on the chain, he was suddenly pulled towards Yu's location.

Seeing Meizu flying towards him, Yu expressionlessly raised his other hand and swung it fiercely.

"Rumble!"

The instant Yu's fist made contact with Meizu's body, a thunderous roar erupted.

The next second, a blue firework rose into the sky, looking quite spectacular.

Yu's punch sent Meizu flying into the sky, but the immense Chakra and power were too much for Meizu's body, causing it to violently explode in an instant. Meizu ultimately became a blue firework.

Fujiwara Chima, Sai, and Tazuna stared at the scene, their mouths agape, their faces filled with disbelief.

However, Yu didn't stop. Since one had been dealt with, the other would be dealt with as well to avoid further trouble.

In an instant, Yu's figure appeared between Yamashiro Aoba and Gozu. This startled both Yamashiro Aoba and Gozu, one of the Demon Brothers. They were focused on their fight and hadn't noticed the earlier fireworks.

This time, Yu didn't use his fists to end the fight. Instead, he extended his hand, and countless blue metallic powders seeped out from his body, condensing under the effect of Chakra.

Then, a very thin and slender long sword appeared in Yu's hand.

The moment the long sword took shape, Yu swung it towards Gozu, who immediately adopted a defensive stance.

Gozu crossed his chains, forming a shield to protect his body.

But the next second, Yu's long sword sliced through the chain shield as if it were cutting tofu, along with Gozu behind it.

The entire process of drawing and sheathing the sword took less than a second.

"This is my first real fight! Teacher Aoba."

Yu released the blue long sword. The moment Yu let go, the blue long sword transformed back into metallic powder and merged into Yu's body.

Yu paid no attention to Gozu beside him, as he was confident in his attack.

Besides, the chance of someone being cut in half and still being able to get up was practically zero. Although anything was possible in the world of Naruto, minor characters like the Demon Brothers certainly wouldn't have such an ability.
