What Does It Mean to Be Kage-Level?

Soon, the familiar Chakra color appeared in the Sharingan.

The Chakra of Jinchūriki is special in the Sharingan's field of vision because there are two different types of Chakra.

The person Uchiha Shingen saw at that moment was none other than Karatachi Yagura.

As the Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura was by no means weak, and the reason he was able to unleash his Chakra was because he was stopped by Uchiha Shisui.

The current Uchiha Shisui is a true Kage Level.

His greatest strengths remain Body Flicker Technique and Genjutsu.

When Uchiha Shingen arrived, he could sense from a great distance that Uchiha Shisui had already released Genjutsu.

But Karatachi Yagura was lively and energetic, and fought against Uchiha Shisui with the powerful, brick-throwing style commonly possessed by Jinchūriki.

Five Kage -level masters all specifically train their ability to resist Genjutsu; targeted training yields even better results.

In the original timeline, both Deidara and Ōnoki underwent special training specifically for Sharingan Genjutsu.

Karatachi Yagura, clearly did the same thing.

In this way, ordinary Sharingan Genjutsu would be useless against him. What Deidara and Ōnoki could do, he, who could completely control the power of the Tailed Beasts, could certainly do as well.

Uchiha Shisui's eye power was still expanding; there was no doubt that he was already planning to use the Mangekyo Sharingan Dōjutsu.

Uchiha Shingen certainly couldn't let him do that.

Uchiha Shisui was not Uchiha Shingen; he used the Mangekyo Sharingan, and Shisui's Yang Release couldn't counter it.

"Shisui!" Uchiha Shingen shouted first, and at the same time, lightning burst forth.

By the time Uchiha Shingen approached, Karatachi Yagura had already broken away and was no longer entangled with Uchiha Shisui. His method of extricating himself was also quite hardcore.

Wind Release: Typhoon Passes

The wind, powerful enough to disperse even the Hiding in Mist Technique, instantly blew Uchiha Shisui into the sky.

At the same time, Karatachi Yagura began his Tailed Beast Transformation.

The two sides are already at war, and Karatachi Yagura doesn't think Uchiha Shingen will show him any mercy.

He wouldn't either.

As Karatachi Yagura began to enter his complete Tailed Beast Transformation form, Uchiha Shisui broke free from his opponent's Wind Release and landed on a nearby rooftop.

In his field of vision, a colossal object was rising.

Isobu.

"Shisui, forget about this place, let's go back to the front lines." Uchiha Shingen rushed past Uchiha Shisui and charged towards Karatachi Yagura.

Ahead, in his Isobu form, Karatachi Yagura had already condensed a Tailed Beast Ball.

Uchiha Shingen then emitted white Chakra from his body.

The continuously released Chakra quickly formed a Susanoo arm, which reached out to grab the Isobu.

This is the clan's territory; he needs to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

The Cursed Seal was activated, Matatabi's Chakra was also transferred. His Chakra began to change, and his Sharingan transformed into the Rinnegan.

Isobu, unleashed its first Tailed Beast Ball.

Susanoo's arm stretched forward and immediately grabbed it, but the next moment a powerful force spread along Susanoo's arm toward Uchiha Shingen's main body.

Uchiha Shingen, without any hesitation, activated the Flying Raijin: Guiding Thunder.

The Tailed Beast Ball was immediately swallowed from the palm of Susanoo's arm.

Uchiha Shingen redirected the Tailed Beast Ball directly to the location where Gaara had been earlier.

There are many Rock Ninja there; throwing them there is perfect.

At the same time, Uchiha Shingen's Chakra release became even more ferocious.

Today is the first day of the Ninja World War, let's kill a Kage first!

Chapter Thirty-One: What is Five Kage Level?

Facing the Tailed Beast Transformation Karatachi Yagura, Uchiha Shingen was actually quite overjoyed.

To be honest, throughout both cycles, he had remained a Jonin and had never truly engaged in a life-or-death battle with a Kage.

He never bothered to listen to claims that he was Five Kage- level figure, as the family's propaganda department needed such a title.

But deep down, he kept telling himself...

You're Jonin! Jonin!

After all, during the Kunimura era, the standard for ninjas to level up was already various missions.

In this respect, it is not as solid as that of the Warring States period.

As is well known, during the Warring States period, the Ninja Clan was the only organized group. At that time, there were no schools; everything was passed down from father to son and from son to grandson.

However, the Warring States period, characterized by chaos, was also the foundational stage for the ninja era, during which the prototypes of many systems were formed.

For example, the ranks of Jonin, Chunin, and Genin were established during the Warring States period.

The tiered pricing system corresponding to different ninja levels was also established at that time.

Back then, there were no Ninja Academy or various exams, so it was crucial to devise a rating system that would be accepted by customers from all over the world, one's own family, and even enemies.

Fortunately, that was the Warring States period, where efficiency was paramount. Everyone was incredibly clever, highly proactive, and full of creative thinking.

Thus, a rating system that could be widely adopted and received no objections from any party was quickly and successfully implemented.

It's unknown who first created it, but everyone uses it, including powerful ninja clans like the Senju of the Forest and Uchiha Clan, which are recognized as having a long and rich history.

The rating method is simple: kill a ninja of a certain level three times without failing, and you're on that level!

Once could be luck, twice might be due to ancestral graves spewing fire, three times, and it's confirmed.

Back then, this was how everyone negotiated prices and promoted their services to clients...

"Lord XXXX, this is my clan 'Jonin, XXXX, who has killed XX Jonin to date."

"Oh!? It's a Jonin- sama! Guards! Prepare a feast! I want to have a few more drinks with the Jonin -sama!"

Actually, during my first read-through, Uchiha Shingen didn't approve of it at first. He thought this volume was utterly shameless and had no bottom line; if they wanted to get something for free, they should just say so.

He later agreed.

There are indeed quite a few cases where people succeed once or twice by sheer luck, and then things go wrong.

As it turns out, none of the systems established during the Warring States period were developed in an office; they were all solid and reliable, capable of withstanding any scrutiny.

Take the example of Genin. If you take down three completely unequal ninjas, you could easily earn more than that in a single battle if you're lucky.

The difficult part is getting promoted to Jonin; it might take ten or so matches to accumulate enough points.

Uchiha Shingen was quite unlucky in his first playthrough; he fought almost thirty battles before finally getting three heads. After that, his luck seemed to change, and he averaged one head per battle.

Clearly, this wasn't a stroke of luck, but rather a sign that his strength had truly Jonin, whereas it wasn't before, which explained why it had been so difficult to gather the necessary materials.

But to be fair, he has never killed a single Kage since the Kunimura era began.

In his only life-or-death battle, he lost and was killed.

Although the other side had more people... is having more people really a valid reason?

There's only one reason someone gets killed on the battlefield—weakness.

But today, he finally has another chance.

Karatachi Yagura, who rose to the position of Hidden Mist Village as a war hero and the strongest ninja in Mizukage, later quelled the internal strife in Hidden Mist Village, restoring the Hidden Mist Village to its former glory. He was also the third person since the Kunimura era to be able to fully control the power of Tailed Beasts. He was a very solid Kage!

Defeat him, kill him, and I'll be Five Kage- level expert, able to accept the title with a clear conscience!

A ferocious Chakra was released from Uchiha Shingen's body; his Chakra seemed to glow, a phenomenon caused by the high-speed flow of Chakra.

A gigantic demon, even larger than the Isobu, rose from the ground!

Uchiha Madara's Rinnegan was purple, captivating, and somewhat eerie.

Uchiha Shingen's color was lighter, leaning towards blue.

Like the wings of a demon in mythology unfolding, the Complete Body Susanoo the sky, its left arm raised, and Chakra whip infused with the power of Scorch Release Karatachi Yagura down at Yagura, Isobu.

The Uchiha Clan's Complete Body Susanoo be used as a Ninjutsu amplifier for the user.

Jinchūriki who can fully control the power of Tailed Beasts can do the same thing in their Tailed Beast Transformation Complete Form form. In fact, the will of the Tailed Beasts can help manipulate the Tailed Beast Cloak, Jinchūriki to focus more on Ninjutsu, making the amplification effect no weaker than that of the Complete Form Susanoo.

In contrast, Susanoo is entirely manual.

Fortunately, Karatachi Yagura's Ninjutsu is primarily based on escape techniques.

Therefore, Uchiha Shingen first used Water Release.

Before the Chakra whip had even fully landed, the moisture in the air had already evaporated.

Isobu, arched his body, his thick, tortoise-shell-like armor encasing him, transforming him into a ball. Just then, his Chakra whip descended.

Boom!

The Chakra whip failed to break through the Isobu's ultimate defense, but instead sent the giant armored ball bouncing up and rolling on the ground, carving a path through the Uchiha Clan Compound like a wheel.

The Isobu is not small among the Tailed Beasts, and its antics were felt throughout the entire Uchiha Clan Compound.

Uchiha Shingen hadn't expected his opponent to have such a move, and quickly retracted his grip. The shelter was an underground space, and although it was far away, the opponent was such a large mass; what if, by sheer luck, it rolled over there?

However, the Complete Body Susanoo, which can become the strongest manifestation of the Sharingan's destructive power, is not that simple.

The Scorch Release Chakra Whip retracted.

Great, he's not making Gundam anymore, he's making Saint Seiya!

He's also a chain-breaking Saint Seiya.

Seal - Adamantine Sealing Chains!

A vast array of Chakra chains emanated from the palms of the Perfected Susanoo.

In the distance, Uchiha Shisui did not immediately heed Uchiha Shingen's advice to return to the front lines. He was somewhat uneasy and had not gone far.

When the Isobu carved a path through the clan's land, he was almost scared to death.

If we change direction, we'll end up driving over the shelter.

He immediately decided to activate Susanoo again to help Uchiha Shingen drive this guy out of the clan's territory.

He dismissed the idea when he saw the giant net that almost covered most of the sky.

After the Uzumaki Clan was re-established, a member of the Uzumaki Clan joined the ranks of Konoha Ninja Jonin, and the Ninja World scene of throwing chains to beat people was recreated.

Even the Uzumaki Clan couldn't create such a scene.

It's not that their skills are lacking; the Uzumaki Clan simply doesn't possess a monstrous Ninjutsu amplifier Susanoo the Complete Susanoo. Their style also dictates that they and the Tailed Beasts will not be in sync.

As a ninja clan that relies solely on the inheritance of Ninjutsu to fight against the power of the Tailed Beasts, the Uzumaki Clan has always been known for its brute force. While it's common for the Uzumaki Clan to use the golden body of the Tailed Beasts, it's rare for them to actually Tailed Beast Transformation. And even when they do, it's by brute force.

In this respect, the Naruto Uzumaki from the original timeline is not Uzumaki Clan at all.

The Chakra chains in the sky pressed down.

Isobu sensed a crisis.

It remembers that bunch of things in the sky.

As one of the laziest members of the Tailed Beasts family, the Isobu is no longer slacking off. After all, being controlled last time was really unexpected, which served as a reminder to it—humans these days are becoming more and more sophisticated, and powerful Red Eye monsters are also reaching their peak. It needs to be more diligent.

Otherwise, if I take a nap one day, I'll be under surveillance again.

Right now, the giant net in the sky has revealed yet another cruel truth to it—this is a Red Eye monster that wields massive chains!

Sensing his companion's deep apprehension, Karatachi Yagura, though unfamiliar with the thing in the sky, immediately unleashed a Wind Release.

First it was Uchiha Shisui, then Uchiha Shingen. The fighting has escalated to this point, yet the Seven Ninja Swordsmen have still not appeared. Without a doubt, all seven have already been defeated.

They were all flipped over and ended up in Uchiha Shingen's hands.

Having fought alongside the Kirigakure Ninja in battle, he understood the Mist Ninja Army's style well: they'd rather lose men on the front lines than let a big one slip by in the rear.

Karatachi Yagura admitted that he had been greedy.

This place is no longer safe to stay.
