Naruto: I Use Chakra to Upgrade Bloodline Limit Chapter 17

Although Kakashi was promoted to Chunin at the age of six, in the vast ninja world, how many Kakashis could there be?

Itachi crouched slightly.

He assumed the optimal combat stance.

He drew a sharp kunai from his person.

His eyes, like those of a hunting falcon, stared fixedly at his opponent.

Through the series of observations just now.

The strength of the Root ninja before him was roughly at the Chunin level.

Yet Itachi's strength was only slightly above that of a Genin; there was a certain gap in their power.

But Itachi would not surrender without a fight.

A desperate struggle!

Seeing that the other party still wanted to put up a futile resistance, a cold glint flashed in Ding's eyes as he charged forward directly, the katana in his hand blooming with a cold light, dozens of blade flashes instantly enveloping Itachi.

He was a Chunin who excelled in swordsmanship.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

The blade and the kunai collided in mid-air.

The crisp sound of metal clashing echoed through the forest.

"Interesting." Ding felt a hint of surprise inwardly, sensing that Itachi's strength was indeed formidable.

"You lose!" He gave a cold, stern smile, his figure suddenly appearing behind Itachi, and he slashed out with his blade.

"Poof!"

Itachi vanished.

Only a piece of rotten wood remained in his original position!

"Such fast Substitution Technique!"

Ding was startled, and with a backhand strike, he slashed at Itachi, who had appeared on his left.

Still in mid-air, Itachi quickly formed hand seals.

Immediately, a massive fireball was spewed out.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique."

Ding was shocked; the boy's combat experience was extremely rich, with each move linked to the next.

But he possessed the strength of a Chunin.

How could he possibly fear a six or seven-year-old boy in front of him!

"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet!"

A water dragon seemed to let out a silent roar, surging and turbulent.

Steam billowed after the water and fire collided.

The battle continued.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

The sound of metal clashing rang out intermittently.

Itachi was only six years old, his body still in a developmental stage, and his stamina and chakra were quickly running low, his body swaying unsteadily.

A single Fire Style technique was enough to consume more than half of the limited chakra in his body.

Itachi clearly realized this as well, so he wanted to end the battle quickly, but haste often led to mistakes.

Ding caught Itachi's opening, and with the back of his blade, he smashed hard into his chest, sending the latter flying backward three or four meters.

Their objective was to capture the Uchiha alive and bring him back.

Otherwise, the strike he had just unleashed might have taken Itachi's life.

Itachi fell to the ground.

The intense pain in his chest made his face pale, and his body could not stop trembling.

"It would have been better to just come with me obediently; why suffer a brutal beating for resisting?" Ding sneered.

"Did Danzo order you to make a move against the Uchiha?"

Just at this moment.

A voice as cold as ice drifted over.

Ding's body stiffened, and after turning his head, he saw a middle-aged man with short black hair, wearing a Konoha Jonin vest, with three black tomoe appearing within his scarlet eyes.

In an instant, Ding fell under a genjutsu, collapsing with dull eyes and foam spilling from his mouth.

Having heard from Mikoto that Genya and Itachi had gone to fish for barracuda together, Fugaku happened to be free, so he came to watch, never expecting to witness this scene.

"Father, there is a Root ninja chasing after Genya." Lying on the ground, Itachi endured the pain and pointed in the direction where Genya had fled.

Fugaku's body erupted with a chilling killing intent!

From the very first moment of their flight.

Genya extracted the reserve chakra from his system, his entire body surging with power.

The Root ninja's strength was at least that of a Chunin, making it difficult for him and Itachi to compete; they could only rely on the powerful explosive force of the Sage Body to escape from here and seek reinforcements.

Genya transformed into an agile leopard, weaving back and forth through the forest, and for a time, the Root ninja could not catch up.

"How is this brat's speed so fast? Damn it!" the Root ninja Hei cursed under his breath.

He was a Root squad leader proficient in Earth Release, but speed was not his specialty.

If this continued.

The Uchiha before him would escape back to the village!

"Earth Release: Rock Needle Technique!"

Hei formed hand seals, rapidly spitting dozens of tiny rocks from his mouth that transformed into bamboo-like needles, shrouding Genya.

The sound of something breaking through the air came from behind.

Genya frowned, tapped his toes lightly against a tree branch, and leaped high into the air to form hand seals.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

A surging torrent of flames spewed from his mouth.

Genya's Great Fireball Technique was a full ten feet in diameter, whereas Itachi's was only one meter, making his significantly more powerful.

As the ninjutsu collided.

The rock needles were instantly melted by the raging inferno.

Sparks flew in every direction.

"What a terrifying amount of chakra!" Hei was slightly shocked, but his hands did not stop moving.

"Earth Release: Earth Rising Spear!"

A large number of sharp earthen spikes erupted from thin air beneath Genya's feet.

Had he not reacted in time, his legs would surely have been impaled.

"Body Flicker Technique!"

The Body Flicker Technique was only a D-rank jutsu.

Yet Genya had cultivated it to perfection.

Though not quite on par with the Uchiha Shisui, known as "Body Flicker Shisui," he was still extremely proficient.

Genya vanished in an instant like a ghost.

When he reappeared.

He was already at Hei's side.

Leaping into the air.

He threw a punch toward Hei's chest.

"You actually dare to challenge me in taijutsu?" Hei sneered coldly; he possessed the strength of a Jonin, yet this six-year-old boy before him dared to provoke him? He was courting death!

Hei threw a punch of his own.

The two fists collided.

Genya's body was pushed back half a meter, and a stinging pain radiated from the bones of his right hand; the Sage Body was only at level 1, so the physical transformation it provided was not yet significant, leaving him at a slight disadvantage in this clash of strength.

After their initial exchange.

Genya judged that his opponent was likely a Jonin.

Although Genya possessed three bloodline limits, he was only six years old and had not yet fully matured, so he was at a slight disadvantage in direct combat, making it quite difficult to defeat his opponent.

That did not mean he had no chance!

But if he exposed his Wood Release, it would become a fight to the death.

Otherwise, if he let the opponent escape back to Root to reveal his secrets, what awaited Genya would be a fate worse than death.

Genya held his breath and focused.

The next moment.

He quickly formed hand seals.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

A massive, surging fireball was spewed out!

"My chakra nature is Earth; Fire Release is useless against me," Hei mocked.

Genya's voice followed immediately after.

"Wind Style: Gale!"

A powerful hurricane surged forth.

Fire met wind.

The flames instantly expanded and exploded.

A massive, incomparable fireball, transforming like a dragon and laced with gale-force winds, swept toward Hei.

"How could someone so young have already learned Wind Style!?" Hei was horrified, finally feeling a sense of shock, and hurriedly formed hand seals to cast a defensive Earth Style technique.

A thought rose within his heart.

He must eradicate this Uchiha genius for the Root!

"Earth Style: Earth Dome!"

He slammed his palms onto the ground.

A rock wall over ten feet high rose instantly.

But the power unleashed by the combination of Fire Style and Wind Style was truly terrifying.

It surged madly toward the rock wall.

Then, the wall shattered.

"The power is this strong!?" Hei was secretly alarmed and hurriedly dodged.

Just as Hei retreated outside the range of the attack, he discovered that Genya had arrived behind him at some unknown moment.

"Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique!" Genya's eyes turned scarlet.

A pitch-black tomoe emerged.

"Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique" was a high-level genjutsu of the Uchiha clan, usable only by clansmen who had awakened the Sharingan; it was one of the signature techniques of Itachi in the original work, and now, Genya had mastered this ninjutsu.
