"You're from the Uchiha Clan? Why did you kidnap Uchiha Yu?"
Uchiha Yu replied perfunctorily, "Take a guess!"
By then, several shinobi from Root and the Anbu had already rushed over.
One difference between the Anbu and Root was that most Anbu masks were shaped like animals.
Root's masks, on the other hand, were almost all covered in different patterns.
That made the two groups fairly easy to tell apart.
"Even the Anbu are involved? Sarutobi Hiruzen really won't be able to clear his name this time!"
Uchiha Yu gave a cold snort.
He had never thought much of Sarutobi Hiruzen to begin with.
He slowly formed Hand Seals.
His movements weren't fast, but each seal was steady and deliberate.
Shimura Danzō recognized the seals at once.
"Great Fireball Technique? You think that technique can handle these five elite shinobi?"
Shimura Danzō grinned.
In his eyes, Uchiha Yu and Uchiha Shisui were no more than a buy-one-get-one-free deal.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
Uchiha Yu refined a massive amount of chakra and gathered it in his throat.
Then he unleashed it!
A huge fireball shot out, like a meteor, with a radius of over twenty meters!
Even Uchiha Shisui had never seen Fire Release on this scale!
"What kind of technique is that? The Great Fireball Technique?"
Since when had anyone's Great Fireball been that big?
The enormous fireball instantly engulfed several shinobi.
When the flames died down, only a few charred corpses remained on the ground.
A flicker of shock appeared in Danzō's eyes.
The three shinobi behind him also looked wary.
Just how terrifying was Yu's chakra? How could he make a B-rank technique reach such a monstrous scale?
"Get them! Make sure those two are dead!" Shimura Danzō's killing intent grew even fiercer.
This mysterious Uchiha would become a major threat to Konoha!
The three shinobi lunged at Uchiha Yu.
Uchiha Yu showed no trace of fear.
All three were about as strong as Jonin.
They were no pushovers!
Uchiha Yu charged straight at them, ready to risk everything!
His Three-Tomoe Sharingan saw through their every move.
With his mastery of Konoha-Style Taijutsu and the boost from his Sage Body,
he moved like a phantom, darting between the three without so much as brushing against them.
His attacks landed one after another, each hit devastating!
At last, one Chunin seized an opening, formed Hand Seals with one hand, and planted the other against Uchiha Yu's back.
"Water Release: Water Prison Technique!"
An oval prison of water instantly engulfed Uchiha Yu!
The two battered Jonin drew their Ninja Blades and channeled Lightning Release and Wind Release chakra into them.
Then they thrust their blades at Uchiha Yu, trapped inside the water prison!
Inside the prison, Uchiha Yu could barely move.
Even the chakra in his body was suppressed.
A feeling of weakness washed over him!
Uchiha Yu took a deep breath.
He pressed his palms together.
"Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!"
It was a smaller version of Deep Forest Emergence, and it didn't consume much chakra.
It was perfect for Uchiha Yu's current situation.
He used his chakra as a source of life, making several trees spring from the ground in an instant!
As the ground cracked and huge trunks burst through it one after another,
shock filled the eyes of both Shimura Danzō and Uchiha Shisui.
"This is..." Shimura Danzō could hardly believe what he was seeing.
Wood Release?
Wasn't that a Kekkei Genkai possessed only by the God of Shinobi, Senju Hashirama?
Back when Shimura Danzō found Yamato, a discarded subject from Orochimaru's experiments, he'd been overjoyed, as if he'd struck gold.
Now, at last, he had encountered another living Wood Release user!
Three massive trunks smashed through the oval water prison. Amid a shower of water, they wrapped around the three Root shinobi with pinpoint accuracy.
"Konoha has had four Hokage by now, and the Uchiha are still owed one."
Uchiha Yu gave a cold snort and clenched his fist.
With a sickening crunch, the trees crushed all three shinobi to pieces.
"Who are you? How could the Uchiha Clan have a shinobi who can use Wood Release?"
Danzō still couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Only Senju Hashirama and people with his cells could use Wood Release!
That was what Shimura Danzō had always believed!
"Who are you? Are you really an Uchiha?"
Shisui pulled the Ninja Blade from his chest and asked Uchiha Yu through the pain.
"Of course I'm an Uchiha. I'm going to lead the Uchiha to greatness."
Uchiha Yu gave a small nod.
Facing an Uchiha who could use Wood Release, Shimura Danzō pulled out a Shuriken.
He infused it with Wind Release chakra!
"Wind Release: Shuriken!"
Charged with Wind Release chakra and boasting immense cutting power, the Shuriken sliced through the tree trunks Uchiha Yu had summoned and then slashed toward his throat.
"Water Release: Water Severing Wave!"
Uchiha Yu refined more chakra and blasted a thin, high-pressure jet of water from his mouth.
The narrow stream easily sliced the Wind Release Shuriken to pieces!
"Water Body Flicker!"
Uchiha Yu's body turned into a stream of water once more.
The stream appeared in front of Shimura Danzō and gathered into Uchiha Yu's shape.
"Earth Release: Rock Fist!"
Uchiha Yu let out another shout. Hard rock coated his fist, and he slammed it into Shimura Danzō's chest!
Blood sprayed from Shimura Danzō's mouth!
"That technique... It's from Iwagakure!"
Shisui recognized the Rock Fist technique.
Hardly anyone in Konoha could use it.
Shimura Danzō staggered to his feet.
He hadn't expected Uchiha Yu to show up out of nowhere today!
"You Uchiha are nothing but traitors! You don't understand the so-called Will of Fire at all!"
Shimura Danzō was really lecturing people about the Will of Fire?
What a joke!
"Why don't you shut up already?"
Uchiha Yu hurled a Shuriken straight at Shimura Danzō's throat.
With his mastery of Shuriken, Uchiha Yu never missed!
"Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere!"
A bullet-like burst of chakra shot from Shimura Danzō's mouth!
With a bang, it knocked the Shuriken away!
It also struck Uchiha Yu in the chest!
Rrrip—
The fabric over Uchiha Yu's chest tore apart.
A deep wound was exposed.
"Ugh." Uchiha Yu felt a burst of pain.
Shimura Danzō sneered, got to his feet, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"You really think you're a match for me? You're too naive, Uchiha!"
The next second, Shimura Danzō's grin froze.
Uchiha Yu's wound was healing at a visible speed!
"Didn't leave a scar, did it?"
Uchiha Yu rubbed his wound.
Good. His skin was still fair and smooth, so he could keep being a pretty boy.
It was the first time he'd been hit by a ninjutsu, and Uchiha Yu had to admit he was a little rattled.
If he ended up scarred, how could he show his face again?
A thousand furious thoughts raced through Shimura Danzō's mind.
Damn it, if you told me Senju Hashirama had plucked out his own eyeballs, stuck them in your sockets, and jumped right in front of me, I'd believe you.
What was with that healing ability?
