Turn the Tables

"Fireball Technique, the Fireball Technique of our clan... no, the power is wrong. Why is this guy's ninjutsu so formidable?" Facing such astonishingly powerful ninjutsu, Obito's face was filled with shock: "Impossible, impossible."

At this moment, let alone Obito's astonishment, even one of the ninjas hidden in the shadows was furious at Yang Xing.

"Damn it! That brat, my summoned beast is dead. Damn it, I'm going to kill that brat."

"Hey, Mai, don't be impulsive."

Someone truly couldn't hold back. That person broke out of the genjutsu, appeared above the lake, and while leaping up, charged toward Yang Xing, who was high in the air, without a second thought.

"Stinking brat, to actually kill my summoned beast, my partner, you might as well go to hell too." Reversing his grip on a kunai with one hand, he leaped up, intending to split Yang Xing in two.

Unfortunately, what awaited him was a very simple C-rank ninjutsu.

This was a technique even a genin could use, but coming from Yang Xing's mouth, such a basic ninjutsu possessed astonishing power.

"Water Style: Water Wave."

Puff!

"Ah..."

Looking at the large hole in his stomach, the chunin's eyes trembled. He felt only darkness before his eyes, and as he fell from the high altitude, he died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

Heavy rain poured down. The lake surface, impacted by the Water Wave, surged with a water column, and the water within that column caused rain to fall across the entire lake.

"Damn! That brat is the most dangerous one here. Quickly have the summoned beasts change targets; those two guys aren't worth defeating." The group of ninjas hiding behind the genjutsu watched Yang Xing, who had landed on the water surface and stood quite steadily. The jonin among them looked grim, grinding his teeth as he said: "We must finish off this brat first."

"Yes!"

Thump, thump, thump!

The incident happened so suddenly, and the scene was truly spectacular.

When several ninjas emerged from their deep concealment, the astonishing number still left Anko and the others shocked.

"So many people, no way, right?" That dense, crowded mass made the faces of Rin Nohara and Obito turn sour.

Although Kakashi and the female jonin teacher had returned, the exhausted appearance of the two clearly indicated that the opponents were not to be trifled with.

And it wasn't just "not to be trifled with"—there were hundreds of ninjas here.

"Don't be careless. Although only a few of them are real, and the others are illusions, there are probably about ten real Land of Earth ninjas, including one jonin." The female jonin was in a disheveled state, and Kakashi was no better. She felt uneasy, but then she saw Yang Xing standing alone in front, and her expression darkened: "Hey, step back a bit. You're too close; these guys are dangerous."

Watching Yang Xing stand alone at the front, they all frowned slightly, wondering why the brat from the Fourth Hokage's team was so arrogant, only to find that the boy in front was actually full of smiles.

"Is that so?" Yang Xing did indeed smile. Looking at the countless ninjas clearly coming for him, he rubbed his nose and whispered: "But, I still feel a bit excited."

"No wonder this kind of mission appeared. Counting it up, it's only the second day of the mission, which means the mission will automatically complete by tomorrow." Thinking of that B-rank mission, Yang Xing muttered to himself.

And the moment Yang Xing stood motionless, several ninjas moved at once. The scene of both real and fake bodies moving was spectacular.

Just imagining hundreds of people running across the water surface was enough to leave Obito and the others frozen in place.

Aside from being stunned, they couldn't do anything at this moment.

"Leave the brat to you all; I'll deal with those two. Finish off the brat first." The masked jonin muttered in a low voice, leaped up, and charged directly toward the exhausted Kakashi and the female jonin teacher.

"Summoning Technique!" He performed hand seals, and black summoning runes flashed on the water surface. Various creatures from the seabed surged out—giant water pythons, piranhas, and octopuses all rushed toward the pair.

This left Kakashi and the female jonin teacher unable to break free, forced to rely on taijutsu and various ninjutsu to kill the countless summoned beasts.

Meanwhile, Yang Xing was already surrounded, facing several people trying to force their way to him.

Without a second thought, he immediately cast a ninjutsu: "Water Style: Water Clone Technique."

Going all out, he immediately split into ten clones.

Regrettably, the ten clones couldn't even last a few seconds, but this gave Yang Xing enough time to prepare his next ninjutsu.

His hands moved rapidly through seals, and the ninjutsu was completed in an instant.

As the ninjutsu was released, the techniques from the several ninjas facing him were also unleashed.

"Water Style: Water Dragon Technique!"

"Water Style: Explosive Water Colliding Wave!"

"Water Style: Water Severing Wave!"

"Earth Style: Earth Mausoleum Dumpling!"

Massive chunks of earth and various water currents surged from all directions. The scene was so spectacular and the momentum so grand that it was hard to imagine a mere brat receiving such treatment.

But Obito understood: with that one Fireball Technique, plus the dozen clones created in an instant, Yang Xing, who hadn't even caught his breath, deserved this treatment.

Facing Yang Xing, who stood alone blocking several people, Obito could do nothing but stare in a daze at the one-man battle.

"Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall!"

A perfect Earth Style ninjutsu. The wall rising from the ground blocked all the incoming ninjutsu perfectly.

"Damn it, that stinking brat."

Clearly, the range of the Earth Flow Wall was too large, cutting off the water surface and leaving the group of Earth ninjas feeling indignant.

"Hey, you three go from the left, we'll go from the right. Also, the rest of you keep an eye on the others; don't let anyone escape."

"Understood."

The group split up, three of them leaping into the air to circle toward the left side of the city wall.

The left side of the wall.

The few Earth Ninja did not expect that before they could even circle behind it, they would find someone already standing on the water's surface, waiting for them.

The person stood quietly upon the water, alone, gazing straight in the direction from which they came without a shred of fear, possessing only a faint, inexplicable smile.

Seeing this brat who feared not death, the group's expressions shifted in shock, followed immediately by a surge of rage as they charged forward.

"Still standing there looking for death? You must be here to throw your life away!"

"Water Style: Water Dragon Technique!" One of them unleashed a jutsu to cut off Yang Xing's retreat, while the other two bolstered their strength with Earth Style, charging directly at him, clearly intending to finish Yang Xing off with taijutsu.

"Actually, I just wanted to tell you: game over!" Without scattering or retreating, Yang Xing's eyes changed; a blood-red hue instantly stained his pupils, and the Sharingan Tomoe within them began to spin.

Seeing those eyes caused the few ninja to freeze. As chunin and genin, while they were not the most ruthless characters of the Land of Earth, they understood exactly what those eyes represented.

"Impossible! Don't go up there, retreat! This guy is from the Uchiha Clan, and he's already awakened his eyes!"

"Nani?"
