Kaleidoscope Sharingan!!

Higashi Shito flicked his wrist with force, and a massive spray of blood instantly showered toward Tsunade.

Upon seeing the blood, Tsunade had already begun to retreat, but unfortunately, a significant amount still splattered onto her body.

At this moment, Uchiha Yujin had already set Uchiha Chen down and was standing to the side, observing the battle.

Seeing Tsunade retreat yet still get stained by the blood, Uchiha Chen suddenly recalled something and hurriedly spoke up, "No, Lady Tsunade is in danger! Go save her!"

It was only then that Uchiha Chen remembered: during the Second Shinobi World War, Tsunade had developed hemophobia following the successive deaths of her younger brother, Nawaki, and her lover, Kato Dan. Even the mere sight of blood would make her tremble and lose her ability to fight, let alone having it splattered all over her.

With her in this state, Tsunade was completely unreliable, so Uchiha Chen rushed to issue a warning.

Hearing Uchiha Chen's voice, Uchiha Yujin was stunned for a moment, only to see the previously valiant Princess Tsunade suddenly squatting down in place, trembling all over, her hands clutching the necklace at her chest tightly.

"Hahaha! I didn't believe the intelligence when I first received it, but to think it's actually true! The dignified Princess Tsunade, one of the Sannin of Konoha, actually has hemophobia! Hahaha!"

Seeing Tsunade trembling, Higashi Shito laughed maniacally. He waved his hand, and the seven Iwagakure ninja behind him attacked in unison, instantly launching over a dozen shuriken toward Tsunade.

Yet Tsunade seemed not to notice, remaining crouched in place, shivering uncontrollably.

Seeing that Uchiha Yujin didn't move, Uchiha Chen, in his desperation, could no longer care about anything else. He used the Body Flicker Technique to appear behind Tsunade, wrapped his arms around her slender waist, and leaped backward, pulling her away just in time to dodge the volley of shuriken.

Even just rescuing Tsunade left Uchiha Chen's breathing ragged and labored.

Only then did Uchiha Yujin snap out of it. He glared at the eager Iwagakure ninja and said in a deep voice, "Sigh, looks like it's time to put my life on the line!"

Uchiha Yujin's eyes instantly shifted into the three-tomoe state, and his entire aura sharpened, becoming like a drawn blade. He charged toward Higashi Shito and the others, engaging them in a fierce melee.

Various Earth Release ninjutsu bloomed like fireworks, creating a dazzling and chaotic display.

Uchiha Yujin was truly worthy of being a Jonin of the Uchiha clan who had awakened the three-tomoe; his movements were incredibly agile, and he showed no signs of intimidation even while fighting eight Iwagakure Jonin simultaneously.

Although he sustained minor injuries from time to time, there was no major danger in the short term, and neither side could gain the upper hand.

However, Uchiha Chen knew that if this stalemate continued, Uchiha Yujin would definitely not be able to hold out.

Once Uchiha Yujin fell, he would be the next to die; Uchiha Chen did not believe these Iwagakure ninja would spare him.

Uchiha Chen activated his two-tomoe Sharingan, staring intensely at every movement Uchiha Yujin made, while simultaneously activating his Max-Level Comprehension.

After watching the battle for several minutes like this, a familiar voice echoed in his mind:

[By continuously observing the combat style and chakra flow of the Uchiha clan Jonin, Uchiha Yujin, you have gained a sudden insight and successfully awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan!]

Uchiha Chen's body jolted, his heart filled with shock. He never expected to skip the three-tomoe stage entirely and awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Even as Uchiha Chen was stunned, his pupils were rapidly changing. They shifted from the initial two-tomoe Sharingan to the three-tomoe, and then, undergoing another transformation, slowly morphed into the pattern of a yin-yang fish!

The mysteries of the Mangekyo Sharingan flooded Uchiha Chen's mind, and he quickly began to digest the newfound knowledge.

Meanwhile, seeing that the stalemate persisted, Higashi Shito's eyes darted around. He pulled two nearby ninja out of the fray and ordered them, "You two, go take down Princess Tsunade. As for that wounded one beside her, kill him immediately!"

"Understood!"

The two Iwagakure Jonin acknowledged the order with savage grins and charged forward.

Uchiha Yujin wanted to intervene, but Higashi Shito would not let him off so easily, stepping forward to block his path.

The two Iwagakure Jonin cut through the battlefield with a clear target: Uchiha Chen. They knew full well that Tsunade had lost her ability to fight, and the only obstacle left was the wounded boy.

However, just as the two reached him, Uchiha Chen slowly raised his head. His eyes glowed red, and the yin-yang fish pattern spun rapidly.

Following that, Uchiha Chen let out a violent shout, "Tsukuyomi!!"

Almost at the same time, all eight Iwagakure ninja couldn't help but look into Uchiha Chen's eyes.

But because of that single glance, they were plunged into an abyss of no return.

The gazes of all eight Iwagakure ninja suddenly turned vacant, their hands dropping to their sides; they had clearly fallen under the genjutsu, Tsukuyomi.

Though Uchiha Yujin was startled, he understood that opportunity waits for no one. He grabbed a kunai, moved like a phantom, and slaughtered them all in one stroke.

Turning back to look at Uchiha Chen, he saw that Uchiha Chen had already dealt with the two Iwagakure Jonin.

"Chen, how did you..."

Before Uchiha Yujin could finish his question, he saw Uchiha Chen's body sway and then collapse forward.

Fortunately, Uchiha Yujin was quick-witted and agile; he flashed to Uchiha Chen's side and caught him, but Uchiha Chen had already fallen unconscious.

"Chen!!"

Uchiha Yujin called out several times, but Uchiha Chen remained unresponsive.

Just then, a familiar voice came from behind him, "Stop shaking him. The brat just exhausted too much chakra; he'll be fine after a good rest."

Uchiha Yujin looked back and saw Tsunade, who had recovered slightly. Though she still looked haggard, she was much better than before.

"I see. That's a relief."

Uchiha Yujin nodded and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Mm, let's pick up the pace to avoid any further accidents."

Looking at the unconscious Uchiha Yujin, Tsunade fell into deep thought once again. The surprises Uchiha Chen kept bringing her were truly wave after wave!

Hoisting Uchiha Chen onto his back once more, Uchiha Yujin and Tsunade set off again, heading toward Konoha.

Not long after the three of them had departed, a gaunt figure appeared among the corpses of the Iwagakure ninja, and a cold, raspy voice rang out:

"Uchiha Chen? Interesting, truly interesting!"
