Kitsuchi!

Uchiha Kei's words were arrogant; he knew they were meant to boost morale and intimidate the enemy.

The Iwa Ninja who died by Uchiha Kei's hand was actually quite strong, but even powerful ninjas fear a sneak attack.

Even the mighty Uchiha Madara had a dark history of having his heart ripped out, let alone this guy whose name Uchiha Kei didn't even know.

Uchiha Kei already possessed exceptionally skilled Body Flicker Technique, and on top of that, this guy was distracted by Kakashi. With the sudden appearance of several Konoha ninjas, his fixed mindset was shattered, leaving him unable to react. All these factors combined allowed Uchiha Kei to kill him in one blow.

But now that the enemy was prepared, things would be truly difficult for Uchiha Kei and the others.

However, Uchiha Kei wasn't too panicked. After all, he had the Mangekyo Sharingan and the trump card of summoning Namikaze Minato.

Although summoning Namikaze Minato at the most critical moment was a bit of a gamble, Uchiha Kei believed that if he truly used it, the man would definitely appear.

As for what constituted the most dangerous moment, that depended entirely on Uchiha Kei's own judgment.

"As long as I use my strength reasonably, at worst I can summon Namikaze Minato. I don't believe I can't handle you guys!"

Uchiha Kei thought to himself, while those Iwa Ninja had already begun their attack without any further words.

Uchiha Kei showed no fear as the Iwa Ninja charged at him. He quickly pulled out several shuriken from his ninja pouch and threw them with exceptional skill at the Iwa Ninja.

The Iwa Ninja seemed a bit slow-witted, directly charging into Uchiha Kei's shuriken. The next second, all the shuriken hit the Iwa Ninja, but Uchiha Kei quickly leaped up.

This was because the Iwa Ninja had already used the Earth Clone Technique, a fact that did not escape Uchiha Kei's eyes at all.

As the shuriken pierced the Iwa Ninja, it instantly turned into a puddle of mud. But at some point, the ground beneath Uchiha Kei's feet had already turned into a swamp!

Earth Style: Swamp of the Underworld. Uchiha Kei recognized this Ninjutsu at a glance; it wasn't the first time he'd encountered it.

However, the ninja casting this jutsu seemed a bit unusual. Seeing Uchiha Kei leap high into the air, he immediately performed another hand seal, and a giant Earth Dragon erupted from the swamp!

Uchiha Kei frowned, but he didn't take it too seriously.

Chakra surged into his Sharingan, and Uchiha Kei immediately saw through the entire impact of the jutsu!

With a simple turn in mid-air, he easily dodged the attack. Then, with a kick to the giant dragon, he used the force of landing to completely escape the range of the attack.

The entire process was as graceful as a dragon emerging from water and soaring upwards. The massive Earth Dragon became merely a magnificent prop for his performance.

While Uchiha Kei dodged all the attacks with such ease and leisure, Hyuga Aya and the others beside him appeared quite disheveled. While dodging their own enemies, they had to scramble and roll to avoid this jutsu, accumulating a lot of dust and water stains on their bodies.

The Iwa Ninja who cast the jutsu noticed that Uchiha Kei seemed completely unaffected, but he didn't pay it too much mind.

Facing a Uchiha ninja alone was always like this; your Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and even Genjutsu would be seen through by them!

Even if the opponent was a Chunin or a kid who had reached a certain level of strength, no one dared to underestimate them, unless you had faster speed, strong resistance to Genjutsu, or a decisive Ninjutsu.

Clearly, this Iwa Ninja didn't believe his speed was necessarily faster than this kid's, and simple Earth Style seemed unable to deal with this kid unless he went all out.

This situation made the Iwa Ninja suddenly wary of the brat, and also suddenly became a little interested.

"Who are you?" the Iwa Ninja asked, "Why have I never heard of someone like you? Just arrived on the battlefield?"

"No, I've been on the battlefield for a while." Uchiha Kei was happy to exchange pleasantries, as it could restore a little Chakra, so why not? "And who are you?"

"You don't recognize me?" The Iwa Ninja was stunned for a moment, then said with some amusement, "Alright, then I'll introduce myself properly, lest you don't even know who killed you."

As he spoke, the Iwa Ninja's gaze became exceptionally dangerous, and Uchiha Kei, through his Sharingan, could easily see that this guy's Chakra had grown to a suffocating level!

Who the hell is this guy?

Uchiha Kei cursed inwardly, could this bastard be the Tsuchikage in disguise? No!

Uchiha Kei seemed to realize something at this moment. Although this guy was completely different from that shorty Tsuchikage, Uchiha Kei seemed to have some impression of this Iwa Ninja.

"My name is." Just as Uchiha Kei was thinking, the Iwa Ninja suddenly erupted with incredible speed and punched towards Uchiha Kei: "Kitsuchi of Both Scales!"

"Damn it!" At this moment, Uchiha Kei was basically certain who this bastard was.

This guy was truly a bastard. Ōnoki of Both Scales was a living fossil, having lived from the First Great Ninja War to the future Fourth Great War!

Such vitality was simply incredible, and his son Kitsuchi should not be very old. Uchiha Kei remembered that guy was in his forties during the Fourth War.

So, converting that, Kitsuchi now should be in his twenties or thirties, which perfectly matched the guy in front of him!

With a quick sidestep, Uchiha Kei immediately dodged the punch, but the terrifying fist wind directly shattered the ground.

If Uchiha Kei hadn't jumped quickly, he would have said goodbye to this world with this blow, but Kitsuchi of Both Scales had no intention of letting Uchiha Kei go.

Missing with one strike, he immediately closed in and attacked Uchiha Kei again, and his attacks completely disregarded Chakra Consumption, clearly intending to exhaust Uchiha Kei's Chakra even if he couldn't kill him.

It had to be said that this fighting style was a complete counter to Uchiha Kei. Uchiha Kei's Chakra couldn't afford to be depleted against this guy, and Uchiha Kei didn't have time to waste with him!

With feedback from the constant disappearance of Shadow Clones elsewhere, Uchiha Kei knew without thinking that the Iwa Ninja in other areas must have reacted as well.

With a little confirmation through Summoning Technique, they would quickly determine which area was their true breakout point.

By then, even if Uchiha Kei summoned Namikaze Minato, it might not be of much help, right?

Thinking of this, Uchiha Kei's hand quietly reached for the Kunai.

But just then, a sound like a thousand birds chirping suddenly came from behind Uchiha Kei.
