Master of Unique Skills

Might Duy's reaction was so intense that Yuzuru suspected the Taijutsu specialist Genin had been waiting for an opportunity to prove himself... which wasn't impossible.

Regardless, for a Ninja, constantly taking on the most menial tasks while enduring the mockery of their fellow villagers was hardly a pleasant experience.

However, Yuzuru was actually overthinking it. In reality, when facing a powerful enemy, it was a correct choice for the weaker side to go all out from the very first moment.

If the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great, and the weaker side tried to conserve its strength, it would easily fail to do so and instead be wiped out immediately.

Even for Might Duy at this moment, opening up to the Fifth Gate directly was already a conservative approach, as he could open up to the Sixth Gate—though his body would suffer some backlash after reaching the Sixth Gate.

The Eight Gates could already be used to unleash techniques like "Morning Peacock" at the Sixth Gate, but this was still within the realm of mortals... Unfortunately, Might Duy currently couldn't open the Seventh or Eighth Gates.

If he could truly open the Eighth Gate, dealing with the Kazekage would be as simple as a single kick, as it was a move that could only be unleashed once in a lifetime.

Returning to the battlefield, Yuzuru knew what the Eight Gates were, but his other two teammates were dumbfounded as they felt the surging Chakra within Might Duy and saw the scorching heatwaves coiling around him, distorting the air.

"Duy, are you really just a Genin?" Even though they were on the verge of battle, Kiba Inuzuka couldn't help but ask this when he saw Might Duy's condition.

"Yes, Captain, the real deal... I'm using a special Taijutsu secret technique," Might Duy replied.

However, who could believe his words? Looking at his own uncontrollable Chakra, was this really a Genin?

Might Duy didn't explain further. He lightly tapped his foot, and the air surged beneath him. Immediately, his figure vanished from his original spot.

The squad members couldn't see his movements at all; they could only vaguely discern a flash of his figure before a pile of "sand people" ahead were swept away like fallen leaves, turning back into sand.

The eliminated sand people began to regenerate, but Might Duy was no longer concerned about the situation behind him. The time for opening the Gates was limited, and he couldn't waste it on meaningless targets.

He intended to open a path and charge directly towards the Second Kazekage's main body.

As for the sand puppet clones behind him, they were naturally left to his teammates to handle.

Since the Genin in the squad were so brave and invincible, Kiba Inuzuka, as the captain, couldn't fall behind. He gritted his teeth and said, "Cover Might Duy's advance!"

After giving the order to attack, the captain rode his dog forward and launched his assault.

The Inuzuka Clan's attack methods were not surprising to Yuzuru; various mimicking Ninjutsu and spiraling drills... neither surprising nor disappointing, just too ordinary.

Looking at Shinnosuke Kohinata, he moved his feet to keep pace with the captain. As he met a sand clone, he attempted to block its attack with one arm while counterattacking with the other.

However, as he approached the sand person, it suddenly trembled. The next moment, the sand person's body rapidly expanded, growing spikes on its surface, becoming like a hedgehog.

Yet, Shinnosuke Kohinata seemed to have anticipated this. He didn't retract his move; he merely stepped back, creating distance from the enemy, and simultaneously thrust his palm forward.

Bang!

Without any visible contact with the sand person opposite him, its head and upper body were instantly blasted away. The sand person's impending attack was thus halted.

"Uh..."

"Senior Shinnosuke, are you really a Genin? Do you really not have the Byakugan?" Yuzuru, who had witnessed the entire attack, asked a question that sounded familiar.

"Of course, is there a problem? Are you expecting me to unleash the combat power of Senior Duy?" Shinnosuke Kohinata seemed to not understand what Yuzuru was surprised about. Why were these questions being asked again?

Hey, Yuzuru thought, you clearly just used the Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm, a "high-end skill" of the Hyuga clan, a technique that could even be said to be used only by Jonin-level Hyuga Ninja. Why could you, a "Kohinata" without the Byakugan, use it?

"Was that the Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm just now?"

"No, you saw wrong."

Could he have seen wrong? Releasing high-density Chakra from his palm for a long-range attack, what else could it be if not the Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm? However, Shinnosuke Kohinata seemed unwilling for Yuzuru to investigate.

"How strange, the two Genin in this squad have stronger combat power than the two Chunin."

Yuzuru could see it now; the Ninja in this squad all seemed to have their own unique skills... except for the captain himself.

However, now was not the time to discuss these things. Yuzuru also had to face the enemy. He decided to first deal with the corpses of the Konoha Ninja, giving them peace.

For these corpse puppets, Ninjutsu like the Rasengan wasn't very effective... While the Rasengan could efficiently turn living people into corpses, it couldn't efficiently turn corpses into parts.

"I'll use Wind Release then, just not the Shimura clan's Wind Release."

Yuzuru figured out how to deal with these corpse puppets, thinking Wind Release would be most suitable for cutting through them like vegetables. Besides the Shimura clan's Wind Release, he could use another advanced Wind Release technique whose characteristics were not so obvious.

Next, Yuzuru quickly formed Hand Seals, and a large amount of Wind Release Chakra gathered at his fingertips. He then pointed at the corpse puppet in front of him, and the next moment, the corpse's neck was instantly severed.

The Ninjutsu Yuzuru was using at this moment was Wind Release: Wind Blade Technique. Under such a sharp wind blade, cutting through a person was indeed like cutting vegetables.

Yuzuru pointed repeatedly, and the corpse puppets were quickly reduced to pieces that could no longer be reassembled.

To prevent the Konoha Ninja from being exploited by the enemy even after death, Yuzuru considered this a benevolent salvation.

However, the Second Kazekage had initially intended to casually deal with these few Konoha Ninja here, but he didn't expect their response to be so fierce... He had granted them a peaceful death, yet not only did they refuse to accept fate, they dared to resist?

The Second Kazekage glanced in their direction, and the next moment, the surging sea of sand rushed towards them like a tsunami. Apart from utter annihilation, everyone could only feel their own insignificance.

The killing intent swept towards them.

Yuzuru had originally intended to deal with the other corpse puppets, but when he realized the squad's crisis, the finger he had pointed at the corpse puppets instantly turned towards the rushing sand waves.

A surge of Natural Energy flowed into his body, causing the total amount of Natural Energy within him to finally exceed the critical point. Thus, black patterns appeared on his skin.

In addition to Chakra, more Natural Energy gathered at his fingertips.

Then, the rushing sand waves were abruptly cut in two
