"No. Compared to Killer B, this little secret technique is nothing." A reached behind him, pulled out a scroll, and tossed it over.
"Besides, not just anyone can learn this technique. The slightest mistake could leave you unable to control your chakra and make you explode."
With that, A looked at Qin Yu and said, "You don't mind me putting it that way, do you?"
Qin Yu hadn't expected A to be carrying a scroll with him. He took it without even looking at it and smiled warmly. "Thanks for the warning. I hope you'll be in for a surprise the next time we meet."
"I'll release the genjutsu now!"
As soon as he spoke, the Nine-Tomoe Sharingan in Qin Yu's eyes abruptly stopped spinning.
The Eight-Tails, which had been trapped in the illusion, let out an angry roar.
"I've broken out! You little brat, I'll kill you!"
"Killer B, why did you pass out? I still want to fight!"
The instant the genjutsu was released, Killer B managed to open his eyes a little before immediately passing out.
Qin Yu wasn't surprised by this.
Actually, if A had managed to stall for a little longer, the Eight-Tails Gyuki would have broken through Tsukuyomi, and Killer B would have escaped too.
After all, Qin Yu had activated Susanoo, Amaterasu, and Tsukuyomi in an instant.
Maintaining Susanoo at the same time had also taken a considerable toll on his ocular power.
Besides, Tsukuyomi had mainly been used on Killer B.
"Kid, Killer B will be all right, won't he?" A tried several methods, but none of them woke Killer B.
He had suffered a severe loss of consciousness.
If Killer B hadn't been perfectly synchronized with the Eight-Tails, the Tailed Beast would have gone berserk the moment Killer B lost consciousness.
"He's only mentally exhausted. He'll recover after resting for a while." Qin Yu raised the scroll in his hand. "Thanks. You can go now."
"Qin Yu, this is a great opportunity!" Inubou blurted out, but Uzuki Cangwu stopped him with a look.
A gave a scornful laugh. "You cowards. If the Uchiha Clan hadn't produced another genius, I would have killed you all already."
"Those damn Anbu couldn't even gather such important intelligence."
In A's eyes, if they'd known about Uchiha Qin Yu from the start, they never would have suffered such heavy losses.
"But you, kid—if you can't stay in Konoha, come find me in Kumogakure. You'll always be welcome." A pulled out another scroll and tossed it over. "This contains the intelligence that was sold about you. I hope you make it back to Konoha safely."
"Oh, and they all say Minato Namikaze has the best chance of becoming the Fourth Hokage, but I think you're just as qualified, Bloody Asura."
After saying this, A helped Killer B up and turned to leave.
"Next time we meet, I hope we'll face off as Kage. I'll smash through that turtle shell of yours."
After A left, the five remaining Cloud Ninja were still reluctant to go.
But they hurried after him.
In an instant, the vast ruins fell silent and empty.
"We won! We actually held off the main force of the Cloud Ninja, and even the AB Duo!"
"Cut it out. Qin Yu took them all down by himself and drove off the AB Duo. He did it all on his own!"
"I never imagined that the Uchiha Clan had another heaven-defying genius like Qin Yu, besides Body Flicker Shisui. That Kirin just now sent chills down my spine."
The Konoha Ninja in the cavern erupted with joy, their faces alight with relief at having survived.
They had already given up hope when the Cloud Ninja attacked.
Especially after learning that Yamanaka Fu and Aburame Torune had betrayed them, they'd believed they were trapped in a death sentence.
Yet the outcome before them had completely overturned their expectations.
The Kirin that had killed hundreds in an instant.
The impenetrable Susanoo.
The pitch-black Black Flame that couldn't be extinguished!
And the powerful genjutsu!
All of it went far beyond what anyone would expect from an elite jonin.
By A's reckoning, Qin Yu had already reached the level of a Kage candidate—in other words, a pseudo-Kage.
"Did you hear? A actually agreed to fight Qin Yu again once they became Kage. And he even gave him a nickname—something like Bloody Asura!"
"It's Bloody Asura, you idiot!"
"Phew!"
As the Konoha Ninja chattered among themselves, Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief. The instant his Nine-Tomoe Sharingan faded, Susanoo vanished from around him as well.
"Qin Yu, are you hurt? I'll treat you right away." Shizune hurried over, a trace of worry on her lovely face.
"Silly girl, he couldn't even get through my defenses. How could I be hurt?" Qin Yu smiled and flicked Shizune lightly on the nose.
"Shizune was just worried about you, Qin Yu. Don't blame her." Uzuki Cangwu came over with a smile, though his face showed mostly amazement.
"You've been hiding your strength well, kid. We owe our survival this time to you."
"As for everything else, we'll support you when we get back to Konoha."
The Uchiha Clan held a very awkward position in Konoha.
They were caught in the power struggles among Anbu, Root, and the Police Force.
In Uzuki Cangwu's view, Qin Yu had kept his abilities hidden because he wanted to avoid getting caught up in these troublesome power struggles.
Of course, Qin Yu didn't correct Uzuki Cangwu, who had immediately jumped to conclusions and come up with excuses for him.
He glanced at Shizune, whose face was flushed, and opened another scroll.
It clearly listed their defensive positions, along with the precise locations of their sentries.
"Damn it. Our defensive positions and sentry locations change every day. The only ones who could have laid them out this clearly are Yamanaka Fu and Aburame Torune." Inubou and the others hurried over.
When they saw the intelligence on the scroll, their faces all turned ashen.
"If Qin Yu hadn't stepped in this time, we'd have been doomed."
"When we get back to Konoha, we must report this to Lord Hokage. Otherwise, how can we expect anyone to trust us?"
"Root's people are despicable. So what if Danzo is involved?"
"Qin Yu, don't worry. We'll support you."
Watching the Konoha Ninja's anger boil over, Qin Yu said nothing.
In this world, the strong ruled, and the weak were toys for the strong.
At present, Danzo did have some standing in Konoha and could stir up trouble.
But Qin Yu had the One-Click Max Level System. All he needed was time.
He would grow stronger in no time.
Qin Yu didn't even take Uchiha Madara, one of the masterminds behind the scenes, seriously. Why would he fear a mere Danzo?
If Danzo pushed him too far, Qin Yu wouldn't mind adding a few more lives to his tally.
"All right, Qin Yu's tired. Let him rest for a while. Shizune, go with him and see if he needs anything." Uzuki Cangwu quieted the others.
Since this involved the Konoha High Command and the Uchiha Clan, they couldn't make careless comments.
At least, until Qin Yu spoke up, they couldn't jump to conclusions.
Otherwise, they might upset Qin Yu, and that was the last thing Uzuki Cangwu wanted to see.
