Yohei, Left Eye

Beneath the azure sky, in the vast forest, occasional booms and bangs echoed – one was a raging fire ignited by Fire Release Ninjutsu, the other a howling wind produced by Wind Release Ninjutsu.

The occasional red Signal Flare rising above the forest instantly triggered fierce battles of escape and death beneath the surrounding woods.

At that moment, two unusual Signal Flare rose into the sky simultaneously, shining with a blood-red light and rising higher than the other Signal Flares.

Instantly, all the Sunagakure squads within a 5-kilometer radius noticed the two Signal Flare and understood their meaning.

At least two Jonin who were together encountered a formidable enemy and desperately needed Jonin -level support.

Sure enough, soon enough, several Jonin squads received the order. They gathered together in an organized manner and then rushed towards the direction from which the Signal Flare had risen.

At this moment, Taiichi looked at the two special Signal Flare that had taken off, and then at the two Jonin who had gathered together, and knew that this battle could only end here.

He couldn't quickly deal with the two Jonin. If he got bogged down here, the reinforcements that arrived later might just kill him. He didn't want to use his Attribute Points to sustain himself under these circumstances.

After thinking it over, Taiichi let out a whistle, and the two Shadow Clones that were rampaging on the outside received the signal and Taiichi take over the fight against the two Sunagakure Jonin. They did not get close, but instead continuously used Fire Release Ninjutsu to attack the Sunagakure Jonin.

Meanwhile, Taiichi's main body took this opportunity to quickly cut through the surrounding junior Genin and retreat into the distance.

As it turns out, once the turret ninja runs out of Chakra, there's not much anyone can do against him, especially those who can unleash powerful Ninjutsu without Hand Seals.

Five minutes later, Taiichi learned from the memories that his Shadow Clone naturally dissipated after his Chakra was exhausted. This made Taiichi sigh that having Chakra Quantity had many advantages; just throwing out Ninjutsu could make the enemy's head spin.

Thinking about my current Chakra of over 50,000, although it's much more than the average ninja, it's just child's play compared to those with special constitutions.

It seems he needs to find Tsunade to learn the Yin Seal as soon as possible; otherwise, he'll have to wait until he's 12 and his body is developing rapidly to have a chance to increase his Chakra quickly.

But by then, the war was probably almost over, so the need for Chakra Quantity was no longer so urgent.

On the other hand, the two Jonin from Jonin in a Sunagakure, unable to retreat or advance against the relentless barrage of Taiichi Shadow Clone.

They were too wary of Taiichi's Fire Style to confront them directly, and could only dodge.

The surrounding junior Genin wanted to help, but the Shadow Clone were incredibly slippery and only managed to dodge. While they were dodging, the Phoenix Sage Fire never stopped, smashing anyone who tried to get close or chase the main body. If no one stepped forward, it would target the Sunagakure Jonin and smash them.

A comical scene unfolded: a dozen Sand Village Ninja were held back in one place by two Shadow Clones.

In fact, the main purpose of Taiichi's Shadow Clone was simply to prevent the two Jonin pursuing him. If the Chunin Genin really wanted to give chase, they could simply scatter, and the Shadow Clone would be helpless against them.

But nobody's a fool. With the strength of Genin, if they caught up, they would be killed in a single move. So these Genin were happy to spend time with the two Shadow Clones.

In their view, Sunagakure currently holds the upper hand in the overall situation, and one or two small-scale setbacks are not a big deal.

Under this ostrich-like self-comfort, the Sunagakure Ninja dragged their feet until the Shadow Clone dissipated due to Chakra exhaustion. Only then, with the help of the Jonin, did they leave behind the necessary manpower to treat the wounded, while the others continued their pursuit in the direction Taiichi had left.

Compared to the intense but relatively safe battle on Taiichi's side, not all the Konoha Ninja participating in the blocking action on the vast battlefront had a smooth journey.

Some were ambushed but failed to escape in time and were instead surrounded and annihilated; others ran straight into a formidable enemy and died on the spot before they could achieve anything.

On the other side of the battlefield, Yohei's five-person team is now facing a situation similar to Taiichi's before.

Initially, they dominated the battlefield for a time thanks to their superior strength, but as they eliminated more and more enemy forces, they attracted more pursuers.

Until another encounter, they ran into a squad of Jonin from Sunagakure.

The battle came suddenly, with the enemy launching a full-scale attack from the top. Yohei and Kakashi led the charge, and the two of them almost immediately suppressed the enemy's Jonin. Obito and Rin, led by Saori, also fought back and forth with the enemy's teammates.

Under normal circumstances, this battle would definitely end in victory for Yohei's team.

But this is a battlefield, and a battlefield where Sunagakure holds the advantage.

After exchanging blows for a few rounds, Yohei realized something was wrong. Although the Sunagakure Jonin was at a disadvantage, his defense was very solid, and he didn't have any thoughts of being greedy or reckless. He just kept fighting Yangping and Yohei.

Having fought for several minutes, Yohei couldn't help but get anxious. Just as he decided to use the Mangekyo to end the battle, he heard the rustling sound of branches rubbing together in the distant forest.

Immediately, everyone present changed their expressions.

Yohei knew he was too late. He should have used his Mangekyo as soon as he realized the other party was a Jonin, otherwise the team would not be in this predicament.

But since it has already happened, there's no use in regretting it. The only thing to do now is to get rid of the ninja in front of us and quickly lead the team away from here.

After thinking it over, he increased the amount of Chakra he inputted, and the Three-Tomoe in his Sharingan instantly connected into a single sheet, transforming into Mangekyo shape. At the same time, the Great Windmill in his right eye spun faster, and his unique Dōjutsu, Susanoo-no-Mikoto, was activated on his body.

Yohei's attack power suddenly surged, doubling in strength and catching the Sunagakure Jonin off guard. After only two or three parries, the Kunai in his hand was knocked away, and his left arm was even severed by Yohei.

Seeing the Sunagakure Jonin retreating rapidly, Yohei didn't have time to press his advantage. He fired kunai Kunai at the Sunagakure who were still entangled with Saori and the Saori, forcing them to retreat and dodge.

"Enemy pursuers are coming! Retreat immediately!"

Yohei shouted, stopping Obito who still wanted to pursue. Once they were all gathered around him, he ordered, "You retreat first, I'll hold them off for a while."

Saori gave Yohei a careful look, noticed the bloodstains at the corner of his right eye, said "Be careful," and left without looking back.

Kakashi and the others, seeing Saori's actions, understood that this was not the time to dawdle. They said "Be careful" and followed Saori away from the scene.

All that's said is really just a matter of a few breaths as we pass each other by.

Seeing that his teammates had all left safely, Yohei felt relieved. He quickly Hand Seals Taiseki, and his right eye's Mangekyo spun rapidly. Susanoo-no-Mikoto gave him a full boost, not just twice the usual amount, but twice the usual amount.

Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame - A line of fire shot out from Yohei's mouth, and after leaving his body, it instantly expanded, transforming into a raging sea of fire that swept away everything in front of him in the blink of an eye.

With Susanoo-no-Mikoto's blessing, this Majestic Destroyer Flame not only extremely hot, but also extremely wide-ranging. Within a hundred meters of Yohei Ping's eyes, everything was covered by the sea of fire. If it weren't for the trees blocking the view, the area covered by this sea of fire would have been even larger.

The group of ninjas from before, except for the Jonin who escaped first, the other three ninjas and the few ninjas who pursued them the fastest were now struggling painfully in the sea of fire.

However, this came at a price. A line of blood had spread from the corner of Yohei's right eye to his chin, and there was no end in sight. His vision in his right eye was also becoming slightly blurry compared to his left eye.

It turned out that what Taiichi said was true. Because he had only used it in small amounts before, and Taiichi had always treated him afterward, Yohei hadn't really taken it seriously. But the aftereffects of this overuse made him realize that the Mangekyo wasn't as useful as he thought.

After unleashing his Ninjutsu, Yohei didn't dare linger and quickly turned back to chase after his own group.

Just moments after Yohei left, four waves of Water Wave rushed towards the sea of fire, extinguishing a large area of flames in the blink of an eye and rescuing several people who were still struggling in the flames.

Looking at their burns, the leading Jonin shook his head Jonin. These few were clearly beyond saving. Not everyone had Taiichi's Medical Ninjutsu, which could heal such extensive burns under these circumstances.

"Send them on their way, so they won't suffer any more."

The ninja who was still preparing to treat the injured man was taken aback, but after looking at the wounded man in front of him and seeing the longing for relief in his eyes, he finally nodded silently.

He pulled out Kunai from his Ninja Tool Pouch, said "Sorry," Kunai instantly pierced through his jaw and into his brain, killing him instantly without any pain.

After finishing off the other wounded, the members of the pursuit team wore expressions of icy despair.

"Angry? Want revenge? Then chase after them and kill all those Konoha scum!"

"Yes!"

The leader of the Jonin's few simple words stirred up the hatred of the Sunagakure Ninja present, and they all wished they could immediately catch up with the Konoha Ninja and tear them to pieces.

Seeing that morale was now in demand, the leading Jonin didn't delay any longer. With a wave of his hand, all the Sunagakure Ninja regrouped and gave chase.

On Yohei's side, he was currently chasing after Saori others. Although he was only a little late, Yohei had completely lost sight of them after running away with all his might.

He could only rely on his Sharingan to carefully discern the traces they left along the way in order to track them down. But this was not something Yohei was good at.

For a good ten minutes or so, the sound of explosions ahead drew Yohei's attention. Looking in the direction, it was exactly where he had been heading. Yohei breathed a sigh of relief; he had finally caught up. But then he tensed up again— Saori and the others had encountered enemies again!

quickened his pace and Yohei through layers of trees, finally able to see everything on the battlefield clearly.

Kakashi and Saori are currently entangled with the enemy and have no chance of escaping in the short term.

Obito and Rin were facing attacks from two other ninjas, but their situation was clearly quite dire. They were originally just two newly graduated Genin, and even though they had made considerable progress through training, they had not yet reached the Chunin level.

But what they were about to face were two Sunagakure Chunin.

Just as Yohei was about to go to their rescue, the two were already cornered by the Sunagakure Ninja.

Rin was the weakest. The Sunagakure Ninja found an opening and kicked her away. She fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. She didn't even have the strength to stand up for a moment.

The Sunagakure Ninja grinned maliciously and Body Flicker forward, his kunai pointing Kunai at Rin, who lay motionless on the ground.

"Lin~"

Seeing that Rin was about to be stabbed to death, Obito's roar was broken, his mind went blank, and his body reacted before his consciousness.

Ignoring his opponent, he risked taking a knife to his back and unleashed unprecedented speed, transforming into a blur as he lunged at Lin, trying to shield her from the attack with his own body.

"Pfft"

The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh.

But the expected excruciating pain did not befall Obito. Just as he lunged at Rin, another figure appeared even faster, firmly and steadily blocking Obito's path!

It's the Yohei!

He Body Flicker, using his chest to block the Kunai that was thrust at him.

The kunai, imbued with the killing intent and determination of the Sunagakure Ninja, pierced Yohei's heart Kunai any resistance. As the Kunai was pulled out, hot blood gushed out instantly, staining his clothes on his chest and splattering Obito and Rin's faces and heads.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

Obito protecting Rin, Rin still in shock, the Sunagakure Ninja stabbing out with Kunai, and even Saori and Kakashi entangled in the distance, were all stunned for a moment by this scene of one after another shielding their comrades from harm.

"Yang~ping~"

Saori was the first to react, and a scream mixed with despair and disbelief erupted from deep within her throat, a sound filled with pain and madness.

The Chakra that had been flowing steadily within her body suddenly erupted like a volcano, and violent lightning burst out uncontrollably from her body, instantly forcing back the ninja fighting her.

Just as she was about to rush over in Body Flicker, a sudden change occurred.

The Sunagakure Ninja who had just successfully carried out the assassination had a look of wild joy on his face, but the next moment he froze completely, his mind blank with shock at the even more unbelievable scene before him.

The Konoha Ninja, pierced through the heart and beyond dead—his body slowly disintegrated and vanished like a phantom.

First came the wound on his chest, then the spurting blood, and then his entire body—before everyone's horrified eyes, it vanished completely in an instant, like a dream.

This bizarre scene was clearly beyond the comprehension of everyone present, and the word "Genjutsu" unconsciously surfaced in their minds.

While everyone was still in shock...

"Pfft"

A dull thud of a sharp weapon piercing flesh rang out from behind the Sunagakure Ninja who had just "killed" Yohei!

Yohei's figure appeared out of thin air behind this Sunagakure Ninja, without any warning Chakra fluctuation! Only his left eye was flowing with winding tears of blood.

The Kunai in his hand was deeply piercing the Sunagakure Ninja's back, and also penetrating his heart.

"Uh... this... impossible." A hoarse voice struggled to escape his throat, only to be swallowed by the gushing blood. In his final moments, his eyes reflected the image of the Konoha Ninja he had just assassinated and who had then vanished.

Those who kill will always be killed; even the fate of a ninja is no different!

This is the exclusive ability of Yohei's left eye Mangekyo. He witnessed Saori being assassinated and nearly died, which gave him the idea of escaping death and awakened the ultimate forbidden technique, Izanagi!

The Sharingan records the user's state, and within the effective time of the technique, any damage suffered by the user, including death, is transformed into a dream, while the user's previously recorded state is pulled back to reality.

Unlike other Uchiha who need to sacrifice the light of a Sharingan to use Izanagi, Yohei's Yohei Mangekyo Izanagi only requires the consumption of his eye power.

Although this eye technique consumes a lot of power, even at his current peak condition, he can only use it three times. Any more than that would result in blindness.

However, pupil power can be restored, albeit slowly. Moreover, as Yohei's strength increases, his pupil power can also increase. Currently, there are three opportunities, but in the future, there could be four, five, or even more.

With this move, Yohei could be considered practically invincible, provided his Mangekyo doesn't go blind from overuse.

Ignoring the shock of his comrades and enemies, Yohei, who was prepared, quickly joined the battle. With his participation, the previously evenly matched situation immediately became one-sided.

In just a few rounds, all the Sunagakure Ninja present were defeated.

"Hurry, the enemy is catching up!" With that, Yohei helped Lin up and led everyone to choose a direction and escape quickly.
