Prove You're a Kumogakure Shinobi / We'll Give You a Head Start of Ninety Meters

This Cloud Ninja is a rare Chakra- sensing ninja in the Ninja World.

But his expression now is very unsettled.

Because in his perception, the opponent's Chakra was excessively large, meaning that everyone here, except for Yotsuki Mats, was like chickens in front of him.

Even a Jonin Yotsuki Mats would probably have to flee.

The Chakra difference is too great!

"Have everyone prepare themselves." Yotsuki Mats stopped eating. "This is Hidden Leaf Village's territory. The ones coming are definitely Leaf Village's experts. If you're careful, you'll be fine."

Chapter Nineteen: Please Prove You Are Cloud Ninja

The forest surrounding Leaf Village begins to darken as you stray a bit from the road.

It's alright during the day, but it gets really creepy at night.

This forest has existed for a very long time, and compared to the first playthrough, it's not much different except for a few more paths appearing.

The Senju of the Forest once lived here.

Senju Itama died in this forest.

The Uchiha Clan ninja who killed him were later killed one by one by Senju Tobirama and Senju Muzoku.

This forest holds too much hatred between the Senju Clan and Uchiha Clan, and it was here that they finally reconciled.

It's not because they truly understand each other; it's simply that neither side wants to continue fighting. Both the victors and the vanquished are numb. Just because they survived today doesn't mean they won't die tomorrow.

The ninjas from both clans had only one thought at the time, "I want to crush the weak; I don't want an evenly matched contest."

Even Uchiha Madara numb; if Uchiha Izuna hadn't died, he wouldn't have wanted to continue fighting.

The difference between him and other Uchiha Clan is that he has no interest in even bullying weaker opponents. He doesn't even want to fight; he just wants to find a wife for his younger brother to satisfy his old fatherly desires.

Then I lay on the deck chair sunbathing, watching my younger brother's mischievous child call me "Uncle," and a maternal smile appeared on my face.

This was the biggest dream of Uchiha Madara, the most arrogant person in the Ninja World at the time.

This was definitely not something Uchiha Shingen made up, because he personally heard Uchiha Madara say this to Senju Hashirama at that time, and he and Uchiha Kei were fighting nearby, with Uchiha Kei also eavesdropping.

Don't accuse them of slacking off; as the Senju Clan and Uchiha Clan fought, more and more of them started to slack off.

After Uchiha Izuna's death, the only thing that sustained Uchiha Madara was the dream he had discussed with Senju Hashirama when they were children.

Both the former Senju Muzoku and the present-day Uchiha Shingen have reserved their opinions on this dream.

Trees swept past him as Uchiha Shingen headed toward the temple.

By this time, it was already getting dark. When they came out of the prison, the sun had already begun to set. Now, the sun's radiance had completely disappeared from the earth, and the night wind blew, casting swaying shadows of trees that looked like menacing creatures.

If this were during a zero playthrough, Uchiha Shingen would never have dared to leave this godforsaken place.

However, after the first playthrough, he was no longer afraid of ghosts, he was afraid that ghosts wouldn't come.

Once the Impure World Reincarnation is activated, he becomes the most dazzling guy on Ghost Street.

With the Sharingan activated, a world of Chakra unfolds before your eyes.

Every living thing in this world possesses Chakra, but those who cannot use Chakra, or those plants and animals, cannot refine Chakra, so it is as if they do not have it.

The Sage of Six Paths' greatest contribution to the world was not the touching filial piety he and his brother shared, nor was it his innate Chakra that he spread far and wide. Rather, it was that by studying his own Chakra, he deduced a method for ordinary people to create Chakra using their physical and mental energy.

Before the Sage of Six Paths, Chakra referred to the power of the God Tree.

After the Sage of Six Paths, Chakra became a general term for an energy system. Regardless of whether one inherited the power of the God Tree, as long as one possesses both spiritual and physical energy and has talent, one can refine an energy form called "Chakra" and use it.

From that time on, the world entered the era of Chakra.

But "descendants of the Six Paths" has also become a synonym for awesomeness. There's no way around it; their Chakra is different from others because their ancestors were powerful, so they possess a portion of the power of the God Tree.

This power may manifest as a unique ability or as an unusual physical constitution.

Currently, the closest power to the God Tree that can still be accessed is the Tailed Beasts.

Uchiha Shingen had been preparing for this all along.

The Two-Tails 'Chakra is just the beginning.

Next up is the Eight-Tails.

The outline of the temple finally appeared, along with a dozen or so clusters of Chakra.

In Uchiha Shingen's eyes, there was a depth of Chakra that had broken through the limits; it was the kind of Chakra that only a true Jonin could possess.

That's strange, wasn't it said that the envoy was a ninja leader?

It's okay, it won't affect anything.

So he increased his speed, and the dozen or so Chakra clusters began to grow larger, but their color remained unchanged.

"Who!?" someone shouted from the darkness. "We are..."

Before he could finish speaking, Uchiha Shingen had already arrived at the makeshift "camp" that the other party had set up.

The air was filled with the sounds of Kunai and Shuriken cutting through the air.

"Careful!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Stop!"

A cacophony of noises filled the air.

The atmosphere created by the Leaf Great Forest at night is truly top-notch; these people are completely easily frightened. Of course, Uchiha Shingen's behavior of charging in without any warning is the main reason.

Ninjas, you know.

Distrusting strangers is instinctive.

The first thing all ninjas do when they see a stranger is to touch their ninja tools.

Only those who are extremely confident in their abilities would switch to refining Chakra and then hide their hands in their sleeves or behind their backs to form Hand Seals.

To ensure that you can kill any stranger in front of you at any time.

Uchiha Shingen didn't take the attacking ninja tools seriously. He released his eye power, and a layer of white Chakra helmet appeared on his body. With a wave of his hand, he knocked away the Shuriken aimed at his face, and lightly leaped onto the roof of the temple.

Below were a dozen or so Cloud Ninja, some still in the motion of throwing Shuriken, while others had stopped halfway through.

The one who stopped them was a Cloud Village Jonin.

Uchiha Shingen stood with one foot on the edge of the roof, looking down at him expressionlessly.

Yotsuki Mats, who had just stopped his companion, knew things were going to go wrong the moment he saw Uchiha Shingen's face.

The distinctive Sharingan, the Ninjutsu he had just used, and his age all confirmed his identity.

Not to mention that it's the exact same face as the photo in the intelligence file.

Judging from their actions just now, Yotsuki Mats didn't believe that the other party was unaware that his group was an envoy from Cloud Village. Now, they suddenly appeared alone and even deliberately provoked his ninjas to attack, which clearly indicated that they had ill intentions.

Hopefully, this is just a warning shot.

"Shingen," Yotsuki Mats stepped forward, looking up at the other man, "We are envoys from Cloud Village, here to forge an alliance with Leaf Village."

Seeing their own Jonin the enemy, the Cloud Ninja felt a surge of humiliation.

This is outrageous! What kind of treatment have the ninjas of Kumogakure ever received?

Oh, I heard they've experienced this before, also against Leaf Village, but that's all in the past. Anyway, since they became Cloud Ninja, they've never experienced this feeling when they're out on the road.

They were an embassy!

Standing on the rooftop, Uchiha Shingen remained silent, his crimson Sharingan scanning the group of Cloud Ninja.

The Cloud Ninja lowered their heads, avoiding eye contact.

"Cloud Village?" Uchiha Shingen finally spoke. "This isn't right, is it?"

The group of Cloud Ninja looked up abruptly, and Yotsuki Mats's heart sank.

"Lord Shingen, you jest."

"I never joke with the enemy." Uchiha Shingen pulled a crumpled document from his pocket. The Cloud Ninja below recognized the familiar style and knew it was a document issued by the village to Leaf Village.

How could they be treated like this by the White Ghost of Leaf Village!?

Everyone was furious, but they held back.

We can't beat them... and we really shouldn't...

Life and death are minor matters, but ruining the village's plans would truly be a death sentence.

"Let me see." Uchiha Shingen slowly crumpled the document. "It says here that the envoy from Kumogakure is a ninja leader. Heh... a ninja leader? He dares to talk about peace with Leaf Village?"

He casually tossed the document down, and it landed at Yotsuki Mats's feet.

"The ninja leaders of Kumogakure don't even reach the level of Jonin." Uchiha Shingen looked at Yotsuki Mats. "That's strange. Why is there Jonin like you here?"

Yotsuki Mats bent down and picked up the document, which was covered in a layer of dirt.

"Shingen, this is a misunderstanding." His voice was calm. "The village felt that it had not considered things thoroughly, but the document had already been issued, so a new document has been issued, which we also have with us. You can verify its authenticity."

"That's not important." Uchiha Shingen smiled. "Documents are made by people; a fake can be real. The Raikage isn't here, so no one can verify their authenticity. You just said your surname Yotsuki?"

The other person's surname caught his attention.

Upon closer inspection, this guy did indeed have blond hair and fair skin, which matched his original impression of the Yotsuki Clan.

"Yes, Lord Shingen."

"Documents can be forged, but the bloodline limit of the Yotsuki Clan cannot." Uchiha Shingen had a new idea. "You should use your power to prove your identity."

Chapter Twenty: You'll have a chance to run ninety meters first.

"Lord Shingen, I don't quite understand what you mean."

Yotsuki Mats was certain that Uchiha Shingen had come looking for trouble.

As the intelligence analysis suggested, Uchiha Shingen was the biggest obstacle in these negotiations.

"So, you're admitting it?" Uchiha Shingen sneered. "I knew something was off when I saw the document. How could Kumogakure, a major ninja village, only send one ninja leader? And now, out of nowhere, a Jonin has arrived. Do you think Leaf Village is just a place where you wandering ninjas are used to being undisciplined? Do you think the Five Great Villages are as unruly as you?"

The temple groaned under the weight of the chakra, and in the eyes of the Cloud Ninja, the same white Chakra that had appeared on Uchiha Shingen, who was standing on the roof, reappeared.

But this time, it's not just a shallow layer.

It spread at an astonishing speed, and a huge outline was taking shape.

Without Yotsuki Mats's reminder, the Cloud Ninja hurriedly retreated. In the blink of an eye, the temple collapsed amidst a roar, and a white giant with distinct features rose from the ruins.

With a casual wave of its hand, a large amount of broken bricks and rubble poured down on the Cloud Ninja.

At this point, the Cloud Ninja couldn't care less about anything else and resorted to Ninjutsu.

Large numbers of combined Water Release emerged from the crowd, blocking the incoming building debris.

"Water Release ..." Gundam Epyon Susanoo from within Uchiha Shingen, "No way? No way? You guys pretend to be Cloud Ninja, and you don't even use Lightning Release? Tsk tsk tsk... A rogue ninja is a rogue ninja, you can't even fake it properly, get out of here!"

Scorch Release: Kagutsuchi - Totsuka Blade!

The enormous flaming sword shot out nearly a hundred meters, slicing through the opposing Water Release combination as easily as cutting tofu, and nearly half of the Cloud Ninja were swallowed up by the Great Flame Sword.

As spiritual energy was drawn along the Flame Sword, the Cloud Ninja first became shriveled, then transformed into burning stick figures.

The Susanoo three-piece set is really useful!

Not only does it absorb spiritual energy, it also instantly breaks through Ninjutsu. The water-fire nature rule is also ignored. The moment it comes into contact with the Totsuka Blade, the water created with Chakra is decomposed, the spiritual energy is absorbed, and the remaining water cannot resist the high temperature of the Scorch Release itself.

Of course, this was also because the difference in their levels was too great. If it had been Yagura who used Water Release, Uchiha Shingen wouldn't have used such a simple and mindless method.

"To be honest, my sword is a hundred meters long. I'll give you a chance to run ninety meters first." After killing the people, Uchiha Shingen didn't forget to make sarcastic remarks.

The Great Flame Sword retracted into Susanoo's hand, Susanoo leaped up, jumping more than ten meters away. When it landed, it directly shoved several stick figures that were still burning on the ground into the ground.

Truly pulverized.

"Dance, you scum!" Uchiha Shingen sneered. "Run, all of you!"

No wonder the Uchiha Clan members love using Susanoo so much; it's definitely addictive.

Especially when there are no side effects, it's much more convenient to start with Susanoo when fighting multiple opponents.
