"That's right. If I remembered correctly, the Shuriken Technique that Wu used was the Uchiha Clan heirloom shurikenjutsu that Obito once demonstrated before us!!!" Kurenai said gravely. By the time she reached this point, her expression had become extremely solemn.

"The Uchiha Clan's Shuriken Technique!!!" Might Guy also wore a serious expression. After Kurenai's reminder, he recalled that scene as well.

"The Uchiha Clan's Shuriken Technique is a hereditary Secret Technique. Only members of the Uchiha Clan can use it. How could Wu use the Uchiha Clan's Shuriken Technique!?" Might Guy asked in confusion.

"That is precisely the key point. Wu may have some connection to the Uchiha Clan," Kurenai Yuhi said slowly. At the mention of the Uchiha Clan, both Might Guy and Kurenai Yuhi looked somewhat grave.

As Konoha's First powerful ninja clan, the Uchiha Clan had been slaughtered to the last under Konoha's very nose. This was an exceedingly heavy matter for every Konoha Ninja. Though they had not been close to the Uchiha Clan, they were fellow Konoha Ninja and still felt deeply distressed and furious.

"This must be reported to the Third Hokage!!!" Kurenai Yuhi said solemnly. "Mm!!!" Might Guy nodded as well.

At this moment, Miao had no idea that his identity was at risk of being exposed. He was having dinner at a waystation in the Land of Lightning. Dusk had fallen, and the enormous setting sun cast its final rays, dyeing the entire sky a fiery red. A gentle breeze passed by, causing the lush wild grass beyond the town to sway. Under the glow of the sunset, the river shimmered with multicolored light, making for a breathtaking sight.

Beautiful on the surface, yet incomparably cruel within—this was the true face of the world. In a room at the town inn, Miao leaned against the window and silently watched the beautiful sunset scenery.

But just as Miao immersed himself in this beautiful tableau, a deafening explosion brutally shattered the harmonious atmosphere.

"Hm? What's going on!!!!" Miao was startled. The massive explosion had come from the town, accompanied by countless screams and cries.

Without hesitation, Miao put on his mask, flashed out the door, and rushed downstairs. The moment he reached the ground floor, he saw that many diners in the inn had been thrown into panic by the explosion. Quite a few were fleeing in all directions, while others trembled beneath tables and chairs.

Miao's gaze sharpened as he swiftly rushed out of the inn and onto the town street. The once bustling and lively street had already become a complete mess. A huge crater had appeared in the ground, and many civilians, samurai, and Ninja lay scattered around it, dead or alive. Blazing flames burned throughout the street.

At that moment, an incomparably arrogant voice came from the sky. "It seems you are all utterly astonished by my art. Mm, this is exactly the effect I wanted!!!"

"In the sky!!" Miao was slightly startled and immediately looked upward. The entire sky had been drenched in the afterglow of dusk, appearing incomparably sacred and beautiful. Within that brilliant radiance, a White Giant Bird drifted slowly through the air.

Miao's pitch-black pupils instantly transformed into Three-Tomoe Sharingan. His scarlet eyes stared fixedly at the White Giant Bird in the sky, where he saw One Person standing atop it.

He was a Young Man of around twelve or thirteen, dressed in a Ninja mesh bodysuit and wearing an Iwagakure forehead protector. His golden Long Hair fell over his left eye in golden Bangs, while the Long Hair at the back was tied into a ponytail. His sky-blue eyes brimmed with pride and confidence.

"A flying Ninja!!!" Miao was shocked. He had been in this world for so many years, yet this was honestly the first time he had seen a Ninja capable of flying through the sky. Though he relied on an external object, it was still his own ability.

The Young Man began moving again. There were two large mouths with tongues sticking out on his palms, an exceptionally eerie sight. He reached his hands into the two Ninja tools pouches at his waist and did something unknown. After kneading his hands a few times, numerous white spider-like objects appeared in his palms.

"Behold my art!!!!!!" the Young Man shouted excitedly, violently tossing both hands forward. The white spiders came pouring down from the sky in an overwhelming swarm.

"Not good!!!" Miao's expression changed drastically. His Sharingan could clearly see that the spiders contained extremely unstable Chakra. Yet that Chakra seemed to be controlled by the Young Man. It did not immediately surge and explode, but was instead held at a critical threshold.

"What kind of technique is this? It can actually infuse Chakra into matter!!!" Miao was shocked. Many people were still fleeing through the street, and a little girl stood right where the spiders were about to fall. She was too slow to escape them.

Judging from the explosion he had heard earlier, those spiders were likely explosive. If nothing unexpected happened, the little girl would certainly be blown to pieces. Miao's eyes tightened, and his body instantly vanished from where he stood.

"Art is Explosion!!! Drink!!!" The Blond Young Man's face was full of excitement and fervor. He raised his index and middle fingers before his chest and shouted.

"Boom!! Boom!!!!!!" The enormous explosions Resounded through the entire street. Many houses were blasted directly into fragments, and the whole town was now engulfed in soaring flames.

"Whoosh!!!!!" With a Body Flicker Technique, Miao appeared atop an undestroyed house. The little girl was in his arms; at the critical moment, he had saved her with the Body Flicker Technique.

"Zhizi!! Zhizi!!" The little girl's mother cried out in terror from not far from the house, her body trembling violently.

Miao brought the little girl to the woman and told them, "It's too dangerous here. Leave quickly!!!" The woman bowed deeply to Miao in immense gratitude, then swiftly fled with the little girl.
