When they saw Uya's figure, both Minato Namikaze and the Fourth Raikage were taken aback.
Before they even recognized Uya, an incredibly astonished thought flashed through their minds: how could someone have arrived so close without them noticing?!
When they saw Uya clearly and recognized Uya identity, their surprise deepened, but their emotions changed.
Minato Namikaze was surprised, but also delighted. Uya had finally arrived at the front lines of the Kumogakure battlefield, which meant that things could finally relax on this front.
The Fourth Raikage, however, was filled with shock, but also with overwhelming killing intent and rage.
It's you!
The Fourth Raikage's words seemed to be uttered through gritted teeth. In an instant, the Chakra within him seemed to become even more violent, surging in all directions with a terrifying aura.
At this moment, Uya was casually sitting on a treetop, watching Minato Namikaze and the Fourth Raikage and others below with great interest.
After obtaining the final research results from Orochimaru and deducing a method to strengthen the soul using unclaimed free Chakra, Uya went directly to the nearest Hoshigakure.
The deduction only outlines the method; to truly develop the Second Stage of the Soul Secret Technique, practical application is still necessary.
The "star" of the Hoshigakure is a meteorite that fell from the sky and contains extremely powerful Chakra. Of course, this Chakra is nothing to Uya. What is really important is that it has no soul or consciousness and is free Chakra without a master.
Only free Chakra can be used to devour, refine, and strengthen the soul.
The ninjas of Hoshigakure are all incredibly weak. They use 'stars' to train, but their bodies simply cannot withstand the power of 'stars'. For Uya, even if 'stars' were ten times stronger, it wouldn't matter.
As Uya knew, the Chakra contained in Rōran's Dragon Vein could even distort space and time!
Of course, since it's just the beginning of development and training, it's better to use relatively weak Chakra, so Uya's goal is 'star'.
The ninjas of Hoshigakure were far too weak in front of Uya, utterly powerless to resist. Their attempt to become the sixth great ninja village by relying on Hoshigakure was nothing but a joke.
Moreover, the Mysterious Peacock Method they cultivated using the stars had extremely severe side effects, which their bodies simply could not withstand. The disadvantages far outweighed the advantages, which was one of the reasons why the Five Great Nations were too lazy to even try to seize it.
If the Star Village could truly enhance ninja strength without any side effects, turning a small ninja village into a large one, it would have been seized by the Five Great Nations long ago, and the Hoshigakure would have been destroyed by Five Great Nations attacks long ago.
After obtaining the star, Uya Ye happened to be not far from the front-line battlefield of Kumogakure. So, while continuing to deduce and develop the Second Stage of the Soul Secret Technique, he casually made his way to the battlefield.
Unexpectedly, they witnessed Minato Namikaze and the Fourth Raikage encountering each other midway through the journey.
Below, Kakashi Hatake also looked up and saw Uya. He was momentarily surprised, but then his eyes showed respect.
Meanwhile, Rin and Obito looked at Uya with strange expressions, wondering why this seemingly ordinary person could suddenly cause Minato Namikaze and the Raikage opposite them to change so much.
"Hey, Kakashi, who's that guy?"
Obito Uchiha didn't dare to act recklessly anymore, and instead whispered to Kakashi, while Rin, who was standing to the side, looked over with curiosity.
Kakashi's eyes held a hint of reverence as he said in a deep voice, "He is Lord Uya."
"Yu... Ye?"
Obito Uchiha and Rin were stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening and looked up at Uya in disbelief.
This seemingly ordinary guy is actually the legendary Demigod of the Ninja World?!
Obito Uchiha an expression of disbelief. Although he could tell from Kakashi and Minato Namikaze's expressions that it seemed to be true, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
It doesn't look particularly special.
When Uya crushed the Uchiha Clan, Obito Uchiha had not yet become a ninja.
After that, the Uchiha Clan realized that the gap between them and Uya was too great, and that being enemies with Uya was a joke. Uya could wipe out their entire clan with just a flick of his wrist.
As a result, the Uchiha Clan began to keep a low profile and concealed all information about Uya. They stopped mentioning Uya's hostility towards the Uchiha Clan and even the fact that Uya stormed the Uchiha Clan and killed the previous clan leader.
Just like Konoha, they claimed to the outside world that it was caused by a surprise attack by the enemy.
The Uchiha Clan has completely given up on the idea of being enemies with Uya. They know that the gap between them is too great, and it is impossible for them to shake Uya. They even have to worry every day whether Uya will come to cause them trouble again.
However, in reality, at Uya's current level, he's become somewhat too lazy to bother with them.
Apart from special cases like Uchiha Itachi and Obito Uchiha, the rest of the Uchiha Clan were just ordinary people.
"What kind of attitude is that! You bastard!"
The Fourth Raikage watched as Uya sat so casually on the treetop, seemingly not taking him seriously at all, and his anger flared even more.
After glancing at Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Raikage let out a furious roar, stomped his foot on the ground, and charged straight towards the treetop, delivering a powerful punch to Uya.
The fist, crackling with lightning, seemed intent on slamming Uya off the treetop and crashing to the ground; only in this way could the Fourth Raikage's rage be slightly appeased.
"So fast!"
Kakashi Hatake contracted slightly as he watched this scene.
He's already Jonin, and his specialties are Lightning Release and speed-based attacks, so he can still barely make out the Fourth Raikage's movements.
But even if he could see it clearly, he would never be able to react in time!
If the Fourth Raikage had attacked him, he would have been instantly killed, and there wouldn't have been enough time for him to use any Substitution Technique or Clone Technique!
Among those here, besides Uya, perhaps only Minato Namikaze, known as the Yellow Flash, could react to the Fourth Raikage's speed and launch a counterattack.
If Kakashi could barely make out the Fourth Raikage's movements, then Rin Nohara and Obito Uchiha nearby, couldn't see them at all.
They barely saw a blur before the Fourth Raikage vanished, appearing like a phantom on the treetops, right next to Uya!
"What kind of speed is that? It's terrifying!"
Both of them were filled with utter shock. (To be continued.)
