Utterly Dumbfounded Cloud Ninja, You're Uchiha?

"What are you talking about? Keigo is not the kind of person you say he is!"

"Keigo helps us; he is a friend to all of us, not the arrogant member of a great clan you imagine him to be!"

Akimichi Lie's chubby face was instantly filled with fury!

He glared at Uzumaki Kushina with indignation!

If not for Keigo, he wouldn't have become this strong, and Keigo always brought snacks for them to eat.

Keigo was one of his best friends!

He absolutely would not allow anyone else to speak of Keigo Uchiha like that!

"How can you say such things before you've even gotten to know someone?"

Nara Kano's brows were tightly furrowed.

He didn't scold her, but the impatience in his eyes was already very obvious!

"Keigo... Keigo-kun is not that kind of person!"

"Keigo-kun gave me a Ninja Cat; he is the best person ever!"

Inuzuka Mi's delicate, pretty face was full of seriousness, "If you would just interact with Keigo, you would know how gentle a person he is."

In her eyes, Keigo was the best person in the world.

He was the most special person, and she wouldn't let anyone bully him.

The others didn't speak, but the hostility in their eyes was already very apparent.

"Hmph! Although I can't stand Keigo's strength, his character is beyond reproach."

Hyuga Ruri gave a delicate huff.

She added, albeit reluctantly.

Keigo Uchiha gave a faint smile and looked at the Rookies around him; over this past year, he had made some very reliable friends.

He pulled back Akimichi Lie, who was about to argue further.

He slowly walked past Uzumaki Kushina and said gently, "That's a very nice ambition, to become Konoha's first female Hokage? It's quite admirable, but you should focus on improving your own strength first."

As he spoke.

His voice paused, and he added, "Also, your red hair is beautiful; there's no need to care about what others think."

Keigo Uchiha did not argue with Uzumaki Kushina.

What was the point of arguing with a little girl?

Besides, Kushina didn't harbor any malice.

It was just... now that she was isolated by everyone, perhaps she couldn't stand seeing him surrounded by everyone in the sunlight.

She was a bit like Naruto when he was a child.

"What?"

Uzumaki Kushina had been listening to the others' reprimands, her pretty face flushed with embarrassment; how could she have done something so stupid?

She knew it wasn't right, yet she still went up to seek attention!

But Keigo Uchiha's words made her slender body tremble.

She couldn't help but touch her red hair, "My red hair... is it really beautiful?"

In Uzumaki Kushina's eyes.

Something crystalline shimmered.

She took a deep breath; that's right, she was someone who would become the future female Hokage, there was no need to care about the eyes of others!

Forest of Death.

After parting ways with the others, Keigo Uchiha came here without hesitation.

"The training grounds in the clan are no longer enough for me to wreak havoc; if I keep at it, I'll end up tearing the whole clan apart."

He sighed helplessly.

He wanted to train near his home too, but his strength wouldn't allow it, so he had to come to the Forest of Death; after all, it was big enough...

And the dangers within the Forest of Death no longer amounted to much for him.

"Chidori!"

Keigo Uchiha clapped his hands together!

Instantly, his palms were covered in Thunderbolt, emitting a pleasant yet sharp chirping sound like birds!

He looked at the Chidori in his hands, his Two-Tomoe Sharingan spinning incessantly, "The nature transformation of the Chidori's Lightning Release is diffusion; it spreads the damage of the Lightning Release to unleash even greater power!"

"Therefore, the flaw of the Chidori is that its destructive power is insufficient; only high-speed movement can allow the Chidori to unleash its most powerful force!"

"But the Lightning Blade... is about cutting and penetration. Even at close range, it can unleash the most formidable power. It is the advanced version of the Chidori, capable of even... severing the lightning in the sky!"

The next moment.

The Chidori in his hand gradually underwent a transformation; the chirping of birds vanished, and the Chidori in his palm became the Lightning Blade!

The Lightning Blade is an S-rank ninjutsu.

However, because he had already mastered the Chidori and understood the nature transformation of the Lightning Blade, he was able to complete its training with ease.

"Then, the next step is... the Storm Release: Lightning Blade!"

Any Lightning Release ninjutsu can be performed in the style of Storm Release, granting it even greater power.

And the Lightning Blade gradually shifted into the cyan-blue color of Storm Release!

It became even more condensed!

Yet, the lightning contained within was truly shocking to behold.

With a casual wave of his hand, the Storm Release in his palm instantly vanished.

"There is no need to master too many S-rank ninjutsu; having too many only leads to confusion. For me right now, mastering the S-rank Lightning Blade is enough. Next, I must attempt... how to forge Storm Release into a weapon!"

Once he possesses a weapon.

Not only will he be able to unleash even greater power.

But he will also be able to catch his opponents off guard.

"Water Pressure Technique!"

Keigo Uchiha clapped his hands together, and instantly, a stream of water appeared in his grasp, roughly thirty centimeters in diameter.

It was incredibly dense.

If one didn't place a finger against it, one wouldn't even be able to see the water flowing.

"This is not enough. To use it as a weapon, it needs to be condensed to about three to five centimeters!"

Keigo Uchiha furrowed his brows, and the next moment, he released even more powerful chakra.

Under his control, the water gradually narrowed to a width of five centimeters!

"Water-natured chakra condensed to this point can exist in the hand, but it is still impossible to use it as a weapon."

Keigo Uchiha's gaze shifted.

His eyes were filled with contemplation.

Water Release is about high pressure, condensation, and rotation, but to condense it into a solid weapon is an impossibility.

A stream of water, no matter how dense.

It remains a stream of water!

It lacks the power for a lethal strike!

"Next, I need to incorporate Storm Release!"

Storm Release itself possesses the density of Water Release and the destructive nature of lightning. What would the Storm Release: Water Pressure Technique... become?

"Storm Release: Water Pressure Technique!"

Keigo Uchiha let out a soft cry.

The clear stream of water in his hand instantly transformed into the cyan-blue of Storm Release.

"I will fuse the shaping and condensation of the water element with the penetration and explosive power of the lightning element. This will turn the Storm Release: Water Pressure Technique into... a laser!"

As his voice fell.

The long cylindrical stream of water in his hand transformed into a laser!

Lightning flickered along the long blade formed by the Storm Release, incredibly dense, appearing as if it were a Sword of Thunderbolt!

It illuminated Keigo Uchiha's face in the dark of the night.

"This is a truly portable weapon, and as the Storm Release grows stronger, this weapon will become increasingly powerful!"

Keigo Uchiha chuckled, "I shall name this move Storm Release: Laser Sword."

With a thought.

The laser sword in his hand took on the appearance of a real sword!

The entire blade, save for the hilt, crackled with violent lightning!

It seemed as though it could cleave any enemy in two.

"Wait, what is... that disturbance?"

Suddenly, Keigo Uchiha's expression changed.

His current control over chakra granted him the ability to sense other ninjas, and with his Sharingan, he could perceive the movements in his surroundings!

In the distance.

Someone... was approaching rapidly!

Urgent... as if fleeing for their lives!

"No, the distance is too great; it's still hard to perceive!"

Keigo Uchiha frowned slightly.

The target was at least several hundred meters away.

At this distance, he could sense the presence of a ninja, but he couldn't discern the specific details.

"Lightning Release: Mantra!"

Keigo Uchiha gave a soft shout, and in an instant, countless currents, so minute they were impossible to detect, spread into the surroundings, utilizing the static electricity and currents inherent in all objects.

He didn't even expend much chakra.

Yet, he instantly knew everything within a thousand meters!

This was an inspiration he had gained from Enel's Mantra in One Piece; by using the dispersive properties of Lightning Release to control static and micro-currents, he achieved the goal of perceiving everything in his vicinity!

"This is... Kumogakure!?"

Tiny sparks of electricity flickered in Keigo Uchiha's eyes, and he narrowed them, a cold glint flashing within!

"And the one in their arms is... Kushina?"

He had anticipated that the Second Shinobi World War would begin and that Amegakure would ignite the conflict.

He had also expected Kumogakure to come and abduct Kushina due to her Uzumaki Clan heritage, but he hadn't expected it to happen so soon; he knew the event, but not the exact timing!

"It seems that in the original timeline, Kumogakure launched their plan to snatch Kushina the moment they saw Amegakure start the war. I must say, Kumogakure's actions are far more efficient than I imagined!"

Keigo Uchiha's expression turned cold, and his figure vanished instantly!

He sneered, "Although I don't have much of a connection with Kushina, I wouldn't mind teaching you lot from Kumogakure a lesson!"

On the other side.

Three Kumogakure ninjas looked at the bound Kushina, their eyes filled with a trace of skepticism. "Are you sure this child really possesses the ability to restrain a Tailed Beast?"

"You know that even an Elite Jonin can't restrain a Tailed Beast, so how could a mere child have such power?"

"Is the constitution of the Uzumaki Clan really that monstrous?"

Another Kumogakure ninja shook his head, his gaze fixed on Kushina, devoid of the slightest sympathy.

There was only coldness and scrutiny.

It was as if he were looking at prey, or perhaps livestock!

"You don't understand the power of the Uzumaki constitution. Have you forgotten how the Uzumaki Clan was wiped out? As long as the Uzumaki Clan exists, Konoha will have a steady stream of geniuses capable of controlling Tailed Beasts!"

"That is why the Land of Whirlpools was destroyed. Do not underestimate this child; once she grows up, she will not only possess a powerful constitution capable of controlling Tailed Beasts, but she will also be able to learn incredibly formidable sealing techniques!"

His eyes burned with fervor and greed!

"Perhaps by then, our Kumogakure will not only have Nintaijutsu users but also sealing ninjas, becoming even more powerful!"

The eyes of the other two lit up instantly!

They were death-row soldiers of Kumogakure.

They held absolute loyalty and faith in their village, and upon hearing this, their eyes were filled with excitement!

"You despicable Kumogakure! You unscrupulous robbers!"

Uzumaki Kushina's pretty face was full of anger.

She looked like a small, enraged lioness.

To treat her as livestock just to obtain her Uzumaki constitution?

She had already imagined her fate.

Abducted to Kumogakure, no one would come to save her, and no one would even know she existed.

She would become a vessel to seal a Tailed Beast, imprisoned for the rest of her life.

If she were lucky, she might survive.

And if she were unlucky... she would be used as a breeding machine, forced to give birth to... a litter of Uzumaki children, with no choice, no possibility of escape!

Her delicate body trembled, her beautiful eyes quivering, and she felt a chill run through her entire being!

Why... why did she have to face such a thing?

"Despicable? Unscrupulous?"

One of the Kumogakure ninjas laughed, his eyes filled with disdainful coldness!

"There has never been so-called peace in the shinobi world, nor is there any so-called mercy. A child like you, living in a greenhouse and not even having become a Genin, could never understand the cruelty of the shinobi world!"

"There is no right or wrong in the shinobi world; that is the cruel truth!"

He looked down at Uzumaki Kushina's beautiful face from above and grinned, his expression hideous and greedy. He suddenly lowered his body and pinched Kushina's chin, "You're quite pretty; perhaps... you could become a fine piece of livestock!"

"Give birth to more strong descendants for our Kumogakure!"

His cold gaze carried disdain. "If a woman becomes a Jinchuriki, it can affect her strength, and there's even a possibility the Tailed Beast could escape during childbirth!"

This chilling voice echoed in Uzumaki Kushina's ears.

Her delicate body trembled, her eyes filled with shock and terror.

She... was to become... a broodmare?

To give birth to countless children for their Kumogakure?!

Her beautiful eyes became incredibly terrified, dimming.

An endless, cold abyss enveloped her delicate body, making her shiver and stiffen, unable to move.

Is... this the true ninja world?

"Huh? Why does the air feel a bit colder?"

One Kumogakure ninja frowned, looking at the other two with a hint of confusion.

As ninjas, and especially in summer, they shouldn't feel cold.

Why was he feeling a chill?

"How could that be? You're mistaken..."

Another Kumogakure ninja dismissed it. They were already incredibly safe, about to pass through the Forest of Death, and then they would reach the border of the Land of Fire!

As soon as they crossed the border of the Land of Fire.

There would be ninjas waiting to receive them!

This mission would be considered completely accomplished.

But before he could finish speaking, terrifying Thunderbolt erupted in the air!

Sizzle!

This lightning instantly illuminated the entire night!

"This... how is this possible?"

The ninjas who were hit were instantly charred black, losing all signs of life within seconds!

"This is... Lightning Release! How did the opponent use it? Why couldn't we see anyone, and there was no medium!"

The remaining two Kumogakure ninjas panicked instantly.

They were tense and vigilant!

The two of them immediately dodged onto the trees!

Concealing their figures!

But the next moment, they felt a chill down their spines and instinctively moved away quickly. The next moment, the spot where they had been was blasted by Thunderbolt!

If they had stayed where they were, they would be dead now!

"What... what kind of attack is this? How can it be such a bizarre ninjutsu? If the opponent had launched it even a little faster, we would have died directly!"

The leading Kumogakure ninja broke out in a cold sweat.

He guarded Kushina's side, warning, "This enemy's Lightning Release has reached the pinnacle of perfection. It's very difficult for us to detect their attacks. We must be careful!"

"We can't afford to capsize in a gutter!"

Another Kumogakure ninja nodded heavily.

His eyes were filled with seriousness.

And within their sight, under the moonlight, Keigo Uchiha's young figure walked out.

He chuckled lightly, "Three Chunin want to snatch a Konoha ninja? You... underestimate Konoha a bit too much, don't you?"

Can't find the book title? Try searching for the author, maybe the name has changed!

Keigo Uchiha's eyes flashed with a cold glint!

He had to admit, the Kumogakure were truly audacious. While Konoha and Amegakure were at war, they actually dared to sneak attack the main base. This was truly not something an ordinary ninja could do.

Only Kumogakure could do something like this.

Of course, the reason Kumogakure dared to do this was also due to their geographical advantage.

Even if the attack failed, there wouldn't be much loss.

Located in a mountainous rocky area.

It was a naturally defensible and difficult-to-attack place, so the people of Kumogakure were reckless and weren't afraid of retaliation!

"It's a... child?"

The two Kumogakure ninjas were stunned.

Especially the leading ninja. He had just said that the user of Lightning Release was a Konoha expert, but he hadn't expected it to be a child of only eight or nine years old. Was this a joke?

"You were the one who ambushed us just now? An eight or nine-year-old child? How is that possible!"

The leading ninja glared furiously at Keigo Uchiha.

His eyes scanned the surroundings with vigilance. Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and let out a cold laugh, "Heh heh, I get it. It's this brat and his master!"

"It's just that this brat's master is wary of our strength and sent this brat as bait. If we attack, we'll fall into their trap. We absolutely cannot let our guard down!"

His gaze was full of confidence!

As if the truth was exactly as he imagined!

Another Cloud Ninja nodded with complete trust.

He surveyed the surroundings with extreme caution.

"Idiot!"

Keigo Uchiha sneered. A Laser Sword materialized in his hand. He slowly walked towards the two, enunciating each word, "If Konoha ninjas were truly here to support, how could two trash Chunin like you have the strength to defend?"

There were indeed people hidden in the dark.

It was Uchiha Shinsuke.

He remained concealed beside Keigo Uchiha, showing no intention of making a move.

This was also Keigo Uchiha's intention. These were two opponents for him to practice against. If Uchiha Shinsuke intervened, it would lose its meaning.

"Before, in the Ninja Academy, we were just friends sparring. It was just a normal practice match. But this time... this is a real life-or-death exercise!"

Keigo Uchiha grinned, his gaze indifferent.

He looked at them as if they were already dead.

"Damn it! How dare you look down on us!"

The leading ninja's face flushed with anger. He stared intently at the Laser Sword in Keigo Uchiha's hand. "Such condensed Lightning Release... so it was really you who ambushed us just now!"

"Kill him! He's just a brat from the Ninja Academy, how dare he look down on us!"

As Chunin.

To be underestimated by a mere brat, treated as a toy for practice, was a complete disgrace!

"Lightning Release: Earth Flash!"

The leading Cloud Ninja shouted fiercely. Thunderbolt instantly appeared in his hand, flashing.

Under normal circumstances.

He would definitely have used a kunai to probe the opponent's capabilities. But facing Keigo Uchiha, who was mocking him, he didn't hesitate at all. There was no probing!

He immediately unleashed his ninjutsu!

"Brat, you'll regret angering me today, because you will become a soul lost to my blade!"

His expression was ferocious, his gaze sharp. "Even the most talented ninja is still trash if they haven't grown up!"

The next moment.

His body shot towards Keigo Uchiha like a released arrow!

Like an arrow loosed from a bowstring!

The other Cloud Ninja watched this scene coldly, his eyes filled with mockery. "What a foolish kid. If he had chosen to call for backup or escape from the start, that would have been the smartest move!"

"He's not even a Genin, is he trying to die!"

Uzumaki Kushina felt weak all over, her head spinning. The world seemed to be tilting around her, and she couldn't hear the sounds around her.

But she vaguely sensed... that things seemed chaotic, and no one was urging her to walk anymore.

Instinctively, she raised her head and saw Keigo Uchiha's calm, indifferent face. It was as if nothing could sway his decisions, but now... he had appeared before her!

"Keigo... Uchiha..."

She uttered these words with great effort.

It was like seeing a glimmer of hope for survival. A faint light appeared in her dim eyes!

But the next moment, she suddenly realized something and said with difficulty, "No, don't save me... They're both Chunin. Keigo Uchiha, you can't possibly be their opponent. Hurry and leave!"

She desperately wanted to survive and return to Konoha.

But at this moment, she didn't want Keigo Uchiha to get hurt in any way.

They were... Chunin!

On the battlefield.

His figure flickered!

Keigo Uchiha continuously dodged the opponent's attacks. The opponent's Lightning Release ninjutsu couldn't even land on him. After attacking for so long, it was like a futile effort!

The leading Cloud Ninja was panting.

His eyes were filled with rage!

"Is this how Konoha ninjas fight? They don't even have the courage to face us!"

But at the same time, a hint of horror flickered in his eyes!

What kind of monster is this kid?

Why is his speed so fast?

He can't even touch the other party at all!

"Idiot, that was giving you a chance! But it seems your strength isn't enough to be my sparring partner yet."

Keigo Uchiha spoke indifferently, his figure like a nimble bird, landing on the tree trunk in a flash, looking down at the ninja before him.

He glanced at Kushina in the distance and smiled gently, "Don't worry, these few miscellaneous pieces in front of me aren't even enough for me to warm up."

Chunin-level strength was no longer anything to him.

The opponent's experience had been absorbed by him in a short period of time!

But Keigo Uchiha wasn't in a hurry, seemingly waiting for something, his dark eyes like black holes!

"Heh heh, you damn brat! What our Kumogakure truly excels at... is Lightning Release!"

He grinned sinisterly, violent Lightning Release chakra surging around him as he walked step by step towards Keigo Uchiha.

"If you had defeated me before I activated my Lightning Release, there would have been a sliver of a chance to win. Now that I've used Lightning Release to enhance my body's speed, you have no chance at all!"

Nintaijutsu was a secret art of the Yotsuki Clan.

But using Lightning Release to vitalize the body and stimulate a sudden surge in speed was something many ninjas in Kumogakure knew.

"Now my speed rivals that of a regular Jonin. How are you going to contend with me, brat! You damn fellow!"

The leading Kumogakure ninja laughed wildly.

His eyes were filled with madness and triumph!

"Is that so?"

Keigo Uchiha's lips curved slightly.

A hint of a smile appeared in his dark eyes.

The next moment!

His entire body ignited with blue-green Storm Release chakra, enveloping him!

Illuminating everything around him in an instant!

Like a thunder god descending from the heavens!

"Now... are you ready to die?"

Keigo Uchiha chuckled lightly.

The next moment, he exploded forward!

The ground beneath his feet cracked!

"Impossible, this is impossible!? You're using... the Raikage's Lightning Release Armor!"

The leading ninja's expression changed drastically, cold sweat streaming down his forehead!

He was all too familiar with this ninjutsu, a standard for every generation of Raikage!

"No, this isn't Lightning Release Armor. The chakra is different, you're using... Storm Release!"

His pupils constricted.

He couldn't help but gasp.

He was stunned!

What in the world was going on!?

He was supposed to be here to capture ninjas from Konoha's Uzumaki Clan, so why was Kumogakure's Storm Release appearing in Konoha now?

And using Storm Release to activate the Yotsuki Clan's Nintaijutsu???

Was he dreaming or what!

However, Keigo didn't care how bewildered the other party was.

His eyes flashed crimson, and the Two-Tomoe Sharingan appeared in his eye sockets!

When his speed reached its limit, Keigo needed the assistance of the Sharingan to better lock onto his enemies!

This was a weakness due to his body not yet being fully developed.

Of course, with the Sharingan present.

This weakness was almost negligible.

"Sharingan!"

The leading Kumogakure ninja exclaimed, "You're a member of the Uchiha Clan!"

"How could someone from the Uchiha Clan master our Kumogakure's Storm Release and Nintaijutsu? This is impossible!"

But Keigo Uchiha gave him no room to breathe.

He kicked him fiercely, sending him flying!

Although he resisted, it was useless.

The boy before him was as violent as... a humanoid monster!

"What the hell kind of monster is this? Why can such a small brat cultivate Storm Release to this extent? I can't even dodge its speed?!"

The leading Kumogakure ninja's arms felt like they were about to split!

He suddenly counterattacked.

But no matter what, Keigo Uchiha easily blocked it and struck back with even more ferocious and terrifying attacks!

Lightning flashed.

The two attacked each other more fiercely!

Slowly, the leading Kumogakure ninja began to lose strength!

With Keigo Uchiha in Lightning Release Armor mode, his strength, agility, and physique all surpassed the enemy's.

Suddenly, he thought of something, "A few years ago, the Raikage's son was kidnapped and was unconscious for several days, but he wasn't harmed!"

"Originally, Lord Raikage thought the other party had made a mistake, and it was just a misunderstanding, but now it seems... this was clearly done by Konoha!"

"And it was 100% done by the Uchiha Clan, with the goal of giving Kumogakure's Nintaijutsu to this Uchiha Clan boy who wields Storm Release!"

He suddenly understood everything.

So, it wasn't that their Kumogakure village came to kidnap people first.

The Uchiha Clan were the real veterans at this!

"You have no more value, die."

Keigo Uchiha's pair of scarlet Sharingan were chillingly indifferent.

A light sweat broke out on his body.

It was just a warm-up.

It wasn't a life-or-death duel for him, but it made him understand the difference between ninjas on the battlefield and sparring in school.

"On the battlefield, every attack from an enemy is a killing blow, aimed at vital points, and they've already planned the next attack's direction while attacking!"

"And how to escape if the attack fails, this is what it means to be a ninja who has experienced life and death!"

In the blink of an eye, Keigo Uchiha had taken all of this into his mind!

"Die!"

The leading ninja's hands were like giant hammers, smashing down fiercely!

His forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his eyes were filled with terror!

He just wanted to escape now and bring this news back to Lord Third Raikage!

And Keigo's figure flickered, dodging instantly.

A Laser Sword appeared in his hand!

He fiercely slashed towards the opponent's head!

"Stop!"

The Kumogakure ninja next to Uzumaki Kushina felt a chill down his spine, and he roared tremblingly, "Stop immediately! Otherwise, I will definitely kill her! She's Konoha's Jinchuriki, and if she dies, you won't escape responsibility!"

"Don't try to resist, stop your attack immediately!"

He shouted sternly!

His voice was filled with fear.

Yes, he had to admit, at this moment, he was already scared.

This boy before him... was like a demon!

From beginning to end, he had clearly been toying with them!

This demonic boy's lips... were still curved in a smile!

As if... all of this was just a game to him, was this the genius of Konoha? He was only eight years old, yet he could completely overwhelm them, who were Chunin.

This was simply like... bullying a child!

"Kill her?"

Keigo Uchiha raised an eyebrow, a smile on his lips, his attack not stopping at all, his scarlet Sharingan filled with coldness, "Go ahead and kill her, I don't even know this girl."

"She's just a civilian, what meaning does she have to me, a genius of the Uchiha Clan?"

He brought down his Laser Sword without hesitation!

In the leading Kumogakure ninja's terrified gaze, his head flew high, then fell to the ground with a dull thud.

Even in death, his eyes were filled with terror and disbelief.

"Next... it's your turn, have you thought about how you want to die?"

Keigo Uchiha chuckled lightly, the blood on his Laser Sword had already been evaporated by the heat of the Thunderbolt before it could even drip to the ground.

Like a devil's sword that... kills without drawing blood!

"Monster, a complete monster!"

He screamed in terror, his composure shattered.

How could he possibly defeat such a monster?

The opponent showed no emotion; in their heart, even comrades from Konoha were mere trash to be discarded at will!

"What a fool, believing everything he says."

Keigo Uchiha grinned, revealing a row of chilling white teeth. The next moment, the Sharingan in his eyes spun wildly.

The Cloud Ninja's body stiffened.

His eyes glazed over.

Then, as if seeing something incredibly terrifying, he suddenly raised his kunai and plunged it into his heart!

The moment he plunged it into his heart, his clarity returned.

He stared intently at Keigo Uchiha, blood gurgling from his throat, like a sinful flower staining the surrounding land.

"You... are a devil..."

His head lolled to the side, and he died completely.

"You're already twenty or thirty years old, and you still haven't recognized the truth of the ninja world? The ninja world is the truly cruel one."

Keigo Uchiha said indifferently, his gaze calm, not even glancing at the corpse.

He reached out and gently picked up Kushina Uzumaki.

"Sorry I'm late. It seems you're fine now, so let's go home!"

"Huh?"

Kushina Uzumaki froze.

She hadn't even had time to react.

Keigo Uchiha's body instantly shot towards the sky.

The clouds in the sky drifted, revealing the bright moon.

And Keigo Uchiha, holding Kushina Uzumaki, moved rapidly under the moonlight, the huge, bright moon becoming their backdrop.

Can't find the book by title, try searching for the author, maybe they just changed the name!
