Bang!
Uchiha Kaze's body flew backward, crashing into the ground and falling unconscious.
Even the awakening of a two-tomoe Sharingan was no match for the power of an elite Uzumaki jonin.
Just as Uzumaki Jiusen prepared to slaughter him, a mysterious figure in a black robe and mask suddenly appeared before him.
"An Uchiha clansman who hides his head and shows his tail."
Uzumaki Jiusen sized him up; it was another Uchiha with a two-tomoe Sharingan.
However, it was truly strange that the opponent did not dare to show his true face.
Before he could dwell on it, Uchiha Yang's attack had already arrived before him.
Uzumaki Jiusen's expression remained unchanged as chains directly absorbed the Fire Release ninjutsu.
This was the near-perverted ability of the Uzumaki clan, though few among them awakened it.
Yet, those who did awaken it could basically become elite jonin, which was the reason the Uzumaki clan had survived until now.
As for their longevity, that was naturally because the Uzumaki clan rarely fought and did not need to refine much chakra.
After all, chakra was refined from cells; if the rate of cell growth could not keep up with consumption, one would naturally die.
This was also the reason why the average life expectancy in the Warring States period was under thirty.
[Brain: Absorbing ninjutsu—it seems this Uzumaki ninja is extraordinary. This might be the ability of his bloodline limit.]
[Fire Attribute: It's over, it's over. I just came out to show off and I'm already being countered.]
[Water Attribute: Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter.]
[Leg: Don't be a coward, run if you can't win.]
[Hand: I have great confidence in my swordsmanship, don't you worry.]
[Sharingan: Kill him quickly! Hehehe, I feel like my three-tomoe is about to emerge.]
Uchiha Yang was a bit surprised to hear the Sharingan say this. Logically speaking, didn't the three-tomoe Sharingan require intense mental stimulation?
How could killing someone trigger an awakening?
Forget it; since the Sharingan had developed its own consciousness, the method of awakening had likely changed as well.
As for what those changes were, only the Sharingan itself likely knew, and he couldn't be bothered to ask.
Blades clashed, but there was ultimately a gap in strength.
Uchiha Yang's current strength was still no match for this Uzumaki jonin.
[Mouth: Can't win, call for backup.]
[Leg: It's rare for Mouth to say something useful, and it's just calling for help. I despise you.]
The next second, Uchiha Yang saw himself turn and run, while his mouth shouted for Uchiha Kage.
Uchiha Kage had been prepared in the shadows to rescue his master. The moment he heard the call, he lunged out, bringing absolute pressure to bear on Uzumaki Jiusen.
"Damn it, there's actually another Uchiha elite jonin."
Facing those cold, three-tomoe Sharingan, Uzumaki Jiusen's pressure doubled, and his attack movements were seen clearly by his opponent.
His actions were even being predicted in advance. He had rarely fought against the Uchiha clan and lacked such combat experience.
Uchiha Kage's attacks grew increasingly fierce, and those terrifying three-tomoe Sharingan were constantly looking for an opportunity to unleash a genjutsu.
Uzumaki Jiusen lost his previous calm and composure, his face turning anxious. If the fight continued, he would be the only one to die.
"Sealing Technique: Five-Colored Light."
Ninjutsu of five different attributes were released simultaneously from a scroll. This strike was enough to fell even an elite jonin.
Ninjutsu of five attributes—this was a secret technique unique to the Sarutobi clan.
Uchiha Kage was shocked; he hadn't expected the Uzumaki clan to seal such power into a scroll for use.
His three-tomoe Sharingan spun to the limit. In the critical moment, Uchiha Kage found a glimmer of survival in the desperate situation; this was the power of the Sharingan.
An explosion rang out suddenly, and the highly destructive energy erupted, sweeping through the surrounding buildings and tearing them from the ground.
The entire Uchiha compound felt the intense tremors, with wild winds howling in their ears.
Clang!
Sparks vanished from the blades in an instant.
Uchiha Madara, who had used the momentum to retreat to a safe area, turned his head to look at the compound where the massive disturbance had occurred, his expression gradually turning grave.
"Big Brother, it seems some clansmen are blocking the enemy. Is that the power behind our cousin?"
Uchiha Izuna hurried to Uchiha Madara's side.
His body was already covered in many wounds, his blood a mixture of his own and his enemies'.
"I suspect so. That is the only elite jonin in the clan, after all."
Uchiha Madara's tone carried a hint of pleasant surprise.
Because these people had never appeared before, he had momentarily overlooked this force, almost forgetting that his cousin had an elite jonin backing him.
In the ruins at the center of the explosion, Uchiha Kage stood up in a disheveled state; this power could be called clan-leader level, and its might was truly not to be underestimated.
"Damn it, the master's location."
At this moment, Uchiha Kage's expression turned exceptionally ugly, as if he had realized something.
Swish!
Master, please, you must not be harmed.
"Die!"
With nothing but killing intent in his heart, Uchiha Kage ignored his own injuries, forcibly swallowed the blood surging up his throat, and charged forward using the Body Flicker Technique.
Only by killing the opponent first could the master truly be safe.
[Legs: Holy crap, good thing I ran fast.]
[Brain: Thanks to you for that.]
[Sharingan: Ah!!! This power, I can feel it! Three tomoe! Hehehe, this is the power of the three tomoe!]
Stimulated by the immense power, the Sharingan had actually awakened its third tomoe at this very moment.
Uchiha Yang crawled out of a well, soaked from head to toe, looking like a drowned rat.
At the critical moment of the explosion, it was fortunate that he had jumped in immediately; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Indeed, battle was full of danger and life-threatening situations everywhere; it would be better for him not to participate.
After regaining control of his body, Uchiha Yang tidied up his appearance, gave a simple instruction not to expose his identity, and then disconnected again, leaving everything to the body.
[Brain: This guy's trump card has already been revealed. This sealing technique is clearly not something someone of his strength should possess; I estimate it was a one-time use.]
[Sharingan: Hehehe, he's just an elite jonin. Go, kill him.]
[Legs: The Sharingan is truly blinded by power. I'll be counting on you in a moment, Hand.]
[Hand: Legs, as long as you don't mess up, I have no problem.]
"He didn't die?"
Seeing that his opponent had not died and was charging at him, Uzumaki Jiusen was shocked.
Because of this mission, he had received the Five-Color Sealing Scroll as a reward from his clan leader, and he had used it just like that—the key was that it hadn't even been effective.
"Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique."
In that instant, Uchiha Kage seized the gap in Uzumaki Jiusen's mental focus and activated a genjutsu using his Sharingan.
"Oh no!"
The moment Uzumaki Jiusen met those three-tomoe eyes, his heart filled with terror, and he slammed his eyes shut.
But the genjutsu had already been activated; even closing his eyes was of no use.
Caught in the genjutsu, Uzumaki Jiusen found his limbs nailed to a cross, unable to move or struggle.
However, no matter how long the genjutsu lasted in the mental space, it was only an instant in reality.
After forcibly breaking free from the genjutsu, Uzumaki Jiusen saw the blade coming down on his head.
It was already too late to make a move to dodge.
Uzumaki Jiusen groaned in pain, paying the price of losing an arm to escape the disaster.
The cost of breaking the genjutsu was a massive drain on his mental energy; he could no longer continue to fight.
"Let me handle this."
Prepared to beat a drowning dog, Uchiha Yang stepped out from the shadows.
[Brain: I'm counting on you two.]
[Hand: My blade can sever all things.]
[Legs: Are you bragging without me?]
Uchiha Yang listened silently, wondering where these guys got their confidence from.
Logically speaking, this was his own body, so the personality should lean toward his own.
The contradiction left Uchiha Yang lost in thought.
