My Sharingan Has Already Foreseen Your Next Move

Don't be fooled by how Uchiha Kyu had been relentlessly harvesting Konoha ninja lives. His attention had remained fixed on Hiruzen Sarutobi the entire time.

The older they were without dying, the craftier they became. That old bastard had the most underhanded tricks.

Other than Minato Namikaze, only Hiruzen Sarutobi still knew that mutually destructive forbidden technique—the Dead Demon Consuming Seal.

It was currently the only forbidden technique capable of threatening his life.

This forbidden technique was a Sealing Jutsu of the Uzumaki Clan.

The only solution was to obtain the Death God Mask left behind by the Uzumaki Clan.

Sealing Jutsu and genjutsu—these two techniques were tied to the main storyline of the Naruto World.

Kaguya Otsutsuki, who had been sealed on the moon by the Six Paths: Yin-Yang Seal, was a perfect example.

There was also the Infinite Tsukuyomi, which could trap every human in the world in an illusion before ultimately turning them into White Zetsu as weapons of war.

The stronger Uchiha Kyu became, the more he realized how many unsolved mysteries this world contained.

The original story had been fictional, so it was inevitable that it had glossed over certain details that could not be examined too deeply.

But Uchiha Kyu was now in a Naruto World that was incomparably real. One moment of carelessness could land him in the same predicament as Kaguya Otsutsuki.

These ninja clans truly had deep foundations. The number of ninja who had come to support them was immense; in all the wars of the original story, one rarely saw clan ninja mobilized on such a scale.

The Nara Clan, Akimichi Clan, and Yamanaka Clan alone had sent more than two thousand ninja.

Over the years, Konoha, that towering old tree, had certainly fattened these selfish ninja clans.

Yet the Senju Clan, Konoha's true founders, had been wiped out, while the Uchiha Clan's situation within the village was even more miserable.

One massive Akimichi ninja after another used their tough, thick-skinned bodies to shield the companions around them.

The Nara Clan's Shadow Imitation Technique fully displayed its power under the cover of night.

There was control, durability, and damage.

The three clans had always been closely united, their secret techniques capable of forming powerful combined ninjutsu.

The Akimichi ninja were like yo-yos, serving as the strongest damage dealers. The Nara ninja used their shadows to control those yo-yos, while the Yamanaka ninja acted as their eyes, striking wherever they pointed. Their destructive power was plain to see.

"Dance to your heart's content and entertain me."

Uchiha Kyu controlled the Nine-Tails, which seized two Elite Jonin from the Akimichi Clan. Terrifying Nine-Tails chakra extended into their nostrils.

Nine-Tails chakra was not something ordinary people could endure.

Their bodies were directly blown apart by the Nine-Tails' berserk chakra.

As more and more Konoha ninja joined the battle, the scale of the fighting continued to grow, spreading beyond the Uchiha Compound.

Uchiha Shisui led part of the clan in defending the rear to the death, refusing to let the enemy take even a single step past them. The rear was the bottom line for every clan member fighting here, because their families were hidden in the safe passage behind the compound.

"Secret Technique: Shadow Imitation Technique."

"Secret Technique: Shadow Imitation Technique."

"Secret Technique: Shadow Imitation Technique."

One Nara Elite Jonin after another suddenly appeared around the Nine-Tails, clasping their hands together as they controlled shadows that spread across the Nine-Tails' entire body.

"Roar!!!"

The temporarily restrained Nine-Tails moved stiffly.

Even while controlled by more than a dozen Nara ninja using the Shadow Imitation Technique, the Nine-Tails continued to struggle.

The Nine-Tails' power was far too great for the Nara ninja. Even with so many of them, they could only restrain it for about a minute.

One Nara ninja shouted, "Third Hokage-sama, we only have one minute!"

"Leave it to this old man."

Hiruzen Sarutobi seized this rare opportunity and approached the Nine-Tails.

"Are you finally going to make your move against me?" Uchiha Kyu watched Hiruzen Sarutobi charge toward him below, his gaze calm to the extreme.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu."

Uchiha Kyu formed a hand seal with one hand, and three Shadow Clones leaped down from the Nine-Tails.

The three Shadow Clones took away fully half of Uchiha Kyu's chakra.

The remaining half was already more than enough for Uchiha Kyu.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique."

"Fire Release: Majestic Destroyer Flame."

"Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation."

Crimson Mangekyō Sharingan gleamed in the eyes of the three Shadow Clones.

"Water Release: Water Wall."

Three Elite Jonin of the Sarutobi Clan hurriedly unleashed Water Release, raising a barrier before Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!!!

The flames boiled the water wall. Water evaporated, and the flames died down.

A massive amount of white steam instantly spread out, swallowing the ninja fighting nearby.

Uchiha Kyu's Shadow Clones had not come to stop Hiruzen Sarutobi. They were there to clear out the trash from those ninja clans.

Boom!!!

Uchiha Kyu's Shadow Clones charged into the enemy like wolves among sheep, slaughtering everything in their path.

The three Shadow Clones formed horns around one another. Their stable triangular formation was like a sharp blade stabbing into the heart of the Konoha ninja.

"Follow the clan head! Kill!"

One Uchiha ninja after another, now freed, voluntarily appeared behind Uchiha Kyu's Shadow Clones.

Even though they knew these were merely three Shadow Clones, they were still willing to follow their clan head and fight until their final breath.

Uchiha Kyu's close-combat experience had been honed to perfection on the battlefield.

The Shadow Clones brought close combat to its fullest, and no one could stop them.

"Lightning Release: Earth Current."

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi used the steam as cover to approach the Nine-Tails, the ground suddenly exploded, and a tide of lightning surged toward him.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!!!

Bang!

A wooden log remained in place as Hiruzen Sarutobi vanished.

With a thunderous crash, lightning swept across the ground, churning it into a scorched wasteland.

"Eight Trigrams: Sealing!"

Having finally reached the Nine-Tails' feet, Hiruzen Sarutobi rapidly formed hand seals, intending to seal the Nine-Tails once more.

"Flying Thunder God: Space Transfer."

Uchiha Kyu appeared at Hiruzen Sarutobi's side, gripping a specially made kunai in one hand. The Flying Thunder God's cursed seal flashed across the Nine-Tails' body.

The Nine-Tails, whose movements had been forcibly restrained by the Shadow Imitation Technique, instantly appeared at the center of the battle.

Roar!!!

The unsuspecting Konoha ninja saw the terrifying Nine-Tails suddenly appear before them, their faces turning deathly pale in shock.

Freed from the Shadow Imitation Technique's control, the Nine-Tails ran rampant once more. In an instant, as many as a hundred Konoha ninja died miserably.

This was the Nine-Tails' terrifying power.

With nearly infinite chakra, the Nine-Tails was comparable to the combined combat power of the other eight Tailed Beasts.

Whether the Sage of Six Paths had been biased or had done it deliberately, no one knew.

"Damn it."

Hiruzen Sarutobi had finally made it here, only for Uchiha Kyu to transfer the Nine-Tails behind him. He immediately flew into a rage.

"This isn't a turn-based battle, Third Hokage. My Sharingan has already foreseen every one of your next moves."

Uchiha Kyu continuously swung his long blade, every strike landing precisely on Hiruzen Sarutobi's openings.

The Mangekyō Sharingan's ability to track movements far surpassed that of the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

Uchiha Kyu's overwhelmingly oppressive fighting style left Hiruzen Sarutobi unable to catch his breath for a moment.

Damn Sharingan. As expected, they were an evil clan.

At every moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi avoided Uchiha Kyu's Mangekyō Sharingan, afraid that he might accidentally fall under an Uchiha genjutsu.

Seeing the old bastard trying to avoid close combat, Uchiha Kyu's attacks became even more ferocious.

The blade flashed like an afterimage, each attack flawless.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's greatest strength was ninjutsu. Uchiha Kyu intended to defeat him through his weakness.

"Croak, croak, croak!!!"

A medium-sized frog appeared not far behind Uchiha Kyu.

"Reverse Summoning Jutsu."

Minato Namikaze replaced the frog and returned here from Mount Myōboku.

Strange markings appeared on Minato Namikaze's face when he reappeared.

Sage Mode.

"Sage Art: Wind Release: Spiraling Flash Super Round Dance Howl Style Ultra-Great Rasengan."

The Ultra-Great Rasengan, which had begun forming back at Mount Myōboku, was hurled at Uchiha Kyu's back the instant it appeared.

"Pfft!"

At the same time, Hiruzen Sarutobi abandoned his defense and allowed Uchiha Kyu to drive his blade fiercely into his abdomen.

Even Uchiha Kyu froze.

"Got you."

Hiruzen Sarutobi revealed a triumphant smile and tightly grabbed his arm with both hands, refusing to let go.

You came at just the right time, Minato.
