Yahiko had no intention of vying for Hanzo of the Salamander, but Hanzo of the Salamander couldn't possibly understand his thoughts and simply believed that Yahiko was competing with him for power in the Land of Rain.
It's difficult for people to understand each other. Even if Yahiko told Hanzo of the Salamander that he didn't care about power, Hanzo of the Salamander wouldn't believe it. Just as Uya didn't care about power at all, the higher-ups in Konoha were extremely wary of Uya.
If Uya hadn't been so powerful that they wouldn't have dared to act rashly, the higher-ups in Konoha would probably have already found a way to eliminate or Uya Uya.
Is it over?
Beside Yahiko, Konan watched the incoming Ninjutsu, a wave of resentment rising in her heart. She had absolutely no strength left; she could barely stand, let alone dodge, let alone resist.
The resentment in my heart turned into despair.
Konan's mind conjured up images of Uya Uya and his encouraging smile.
She wanted to stand before Uya again and gain Uya approval and praise, but now, she no longer had the chance to see Uya.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still, to slow down.
Just like the last moment before a person's life, the world before their eyes suddenly slows down dramatically. This is a burst of mental energy when facing the ultimate threat of death, causing thoughts and ideas to move at an extreme speed.
Just as those Shuriken and Ninjutsu were about to land on her, an invisible ripple spread from the air in a visible manner, as if space itself were being distorted.
It was said to be visible to the naked eye, but most people would never be able to detect such a rapid ripple. However, Konan saw it clearly at that moment.
In her eyes, everything in the world became extremely slow.
She was momentarily stunned, then saw the ripple flash past her, and the world returned to normal once more.
The rain continued to fall, obscuring the path of each drop, but all the Ninjutsu and Shuriken in front of Konan were frozen in mid-air, as if solidified.
"This... this is..."
Suddenly realizing what was happening, Konan had a very familiar feeling. Her mind went blank for a moment, and she suddenly turned around with a burst of strength.
At a glance, Uya's figure stood in the rain in the distance, seemingly still in a gesture of reaching out his hand. The ripple from before appeared to have originated from Uya in the distance.
Silently.
The rain continued to fall, and in the next moment, all the Ninjutsu and Shuriken that were frozen in the air collapsed with a bang, and even the steel Shuriken turned into dust!
All the Rain Ninja were shocked and terrified.
Before they could react, a second, even more shocking thing happened. Just a moment ago, Uya was still far away, but suddenly flashed in the rain, like a blur, and rain poured down wherever he went.
Almost Setsuna, he appeared directly in the arena!
It's important to understand that when the Rain Ninja unleashed their attacks on Konan and Yahiko, they were heading straight for them. Just how close were the Rain Ninja to Konan and Yahiko?
However, at such a close distance, before even halfway through, Uya, who was extremely far away, appeared directly in the arena as if in a flash!
What speed!
The Rain Ninja were utterly horrified, almost all of them stopping in their tracks, staring in shock at the figure that had suddenly appeared in the arena.
That figure... seems somewhat familiar?
A flash of insight struck them, and finally someone recognized Uya's identity. Then came the second, the third, and in an instant, everyone recognized Uya.
It was as if a thunderbolt had ripped through the darkness, booming and exploding in their minds, leaving them utterly shocked and even causing them to instinctively step back!
Uya, Demigod of the Ninja World!
How did he end up in the Land of Rain, here, and even save those two people in front of him?!
After Uya arrived, another figure appeared in the distance, radiating a strong Chakra aura. It was also extremely fast, arriving in the arena in an instant. It was none other than Kushina Uzumaki.
The situation on the field changed almost instantly. Even Hanzo of the Salamander in the back saw this scene and his pupils suddenly shrank, revealing a look of surprise.
"Yu... Teacher Uya..."
In the arena, Konan stared blankly at Uya. At this moment, she even thought that Yu Ye was dead, and that this was the dream world after death.
On the other side, Yahiko was also stunned, his eyes revealing an expression of immense joy.
"Looks like we made it in time, but the timing... was really close."
Uya looked at Konan and breathed a sigh of relief. Actually, Uya and Kushina were a little slower, but fortunately, Uya had Shockwave Sensing and knew about the situation before he even arrived.
Before she could rush over, Uya unleashed a Shockwave from a great distance, sweeping Konan's front and instantly annihilating all the attacks.
Konan stared blankly at Uya. Finally, she came to her senses, and a feeling of relief and joy at seeing Uya again welled up in her heart.
Completely exhausted, she could no longer stand and her body went limp, about to fall into the rain.
" Konan!"
Yahiko, who was standing to the side, had his attention focused on Uya. When he saw Konan suddenly collapse, he couldn't help but gasp and show a worried expression.
Uya was standing next to Konan. When he saw her fall, he reached out and caught her. After sensing her for a moment, he knew that she was just exhausted and her Chakra was almost depleted. She had not suffered any serious injuries.
"She's fine, just a little weak. She'll be alright after a rest."
Uya nodded to Yahiko, then picked up Konan and handed her to Kushina.
"Take care of her a little; I'll handle things here."
"Um."
Kushina nodded and took Konan, but her gaze was somewhat strange as she looked at the girl in her arms. Although she was Uya's disciple, the way she looked at Uya just now was a little different.
Yahiko's gaze followed Konan to Kushina, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes as he recalled the scene from earlier.
Although Kushina has now restrained the Nine-Tails Chakra, the speed she unleashed when Kushina arrived here was terrifying; at least, that speed was enough to instantly kill him!
This girl, who looks about the same age as Konan, is ridiculously strong!
I wonder what her relationship with Teacher Uya is; they don't seem like master and student at all. (To be continued.)
