Throughout the entire ordeal, Uya never made a move, nor did he deliberately use his aura to exert pressure. He simply used a few casual words to force the Cloud Ninja to change their tune.
There's no doubt that these Cloud Ninja know the truth of this matter, but they want to exploit the conflicts between the Kumogakure, the Konoha High Command, and their clans, so they're being unreasonable.
Unexpectedly, this provoked an even more unreasonable Uya, and they all deflated.
They were initially quite confident, but facing Uya, they immediately became timid. Besides, since they had brought this whole thing upon themselves, they didn't dare to linger any longer and slunk away.
Uya was too lazy to bother with these Cloud Ninja; he could just slap them all to death, which might scare little Hinata, who was only three years old at the time.
Watching the Cloud Ninja slink away, Hiruzen Sarutobi found himself in an awkward position, because he didn't know what the relationship was between Uya and the Hyuga Clan. He had just been planning to use this matter to put down the Hyuga Clan.
Hiruzen Sarutobi braced himself to greet Uya, but Hyuga Hiashi had already bowed to Uya first.
"Thank you for your help, Lord Uya."
"It's nothing, I was the one who killed them."
Uya glanced at Hyuga Hiashi, casually shook his head, and then turned and left.
Hyuga Hiashi originally wanted to invite Uya to the Hyuga Clan's residence, which would further confirm the fact that the Hyuga Clan and Uya were related. However, Uya didn't give him the chance to invite him and simply disappeared from the scene.
Hinata stood beside Hyuga Hiashi, watching Uya leave, her cute eyes sparkling like stars, filled with admiration.
Although she was only three years old, she knew that it was Uya who had resolved the crisis, and that a few words had made those aggressive Cloud Ninja slink away.
Even her father couldn't do something like that.
Hinata's eyes were that her father, Hyuga Hiashi, was the most powerful, but now she knew that there was someone even more powerful than her father, and that was Uya.
Watching Uya leave, Hyuga Hiashi shook his head, slightly disappointed. In the end, he still couldn't get any closer to Uya.
Konoha
Near the edge, there is a grove of trees.
Right there in the woods, a battle was taking place.
Ding ding dong!!
With a sound like the clash of metal, a boy who had suddenly awakened his Sharingan was wielding Kunai and clashing repeatedly with the bone sword in the hand of another person.
It was described as a bone knife, but it was actually an arm bone piercing through his arm, looking extremely sinister and terrifying, yet there was no blood on it.
Kimimaro's expression was somber, his gaze extremely serious. With a low shout, he suddenly flipped over, and all the bone spikes on his body attacked the boy who had awakened his Sharingan.
The boy who had awakened the Sharingan looked to be only seven or eight years old; it was none other than Uchiha Itachi!
Ding ding dong!!
Facing Kimimaro's relentless and storm-like attacks, Uchiha Itachi remained completely calm. He wielded kunai with both hands, Kunai deflecting all the attacks while simultaneously retreating.
" Ten-Finger Drilling Bullets!"
Seeing Uchiha Itachi retreat, Kimimaro didn't hesitate to point both hands at Uchiha Itachi, his finger bones suddenly shooting out.
Uchiha Itachi's expression remained calm as still water. He used the Sharingan's observational power to its fullest extent, clearly seeing the trajectory of the flying finger bone. He suddenly flipped over in mid-air, avoiding Kimimaro's Ten-Finger Drilling Bullets.
But at that moment, on the other side, countless ice needles suddenly attacked Uchiha Itachi. Although their force was not as great as bone spikes, their attack range was extremely large!
Uchiha Itachi's face still seemed to show a hint of surprise as his body was suddenly pierced by those ice needles. But in the next instant, his body abruptly turned into a piece of wood.
"This guy..."
Kimimaro walked to Haku's side, his eyes scanning the surroundings with extreme vigilance.
Among all the enemies he had encountered, Uchiha Itachi had the most perfect control over his power. In terms of strength, Uchiha Itachi was far from Jonin, and his Chakra reserves and other attributes were also far Jonin.
However, Uchiha Itachi displayed strength that was close to that of Jonin, making him far more troublesome than any of the Elite Chunin Kimimaro had encountered before!
If Mei Terumi crushed everyone with her unreasonable Kekkei Genkai, then Uchiha Itachi had extremely precise control over every bit of power. Of course, this was also related to Uchiha Itachi awakening his Sharingan.
" Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
The next moment, Uchiha Itachi suddenly appeared from the side of Kimimaro and Haku, his hands Hand Seals, and he suddenly spat out a huge fireball.
Haku had already made preparations. When the Great Fireball was released, he also released Ice Release almost simultaneously, and an ice wall suddenly blocked the Great Fireball.
As the flames gradually subsided, both Haku and Kimimaro stared at Uchiha Itachi with extremely solemn expressions.
However, compared to Haku and Kimimaro, Uchiha Itachi was even more surprised.
Among children his age, almost no one could fight him for more than a few rounds. After graduating early, although he is still Genin, his strength is almost comparable to that of Special Jōnin. He once fought against Anbu Ninja and did not suffer a defeat.
But now, he encountered two children even younger than himself, and they managed to fight to a draw. How could this not shock Uchiha Itachi?
"Where did these two come from? Are they scouts disguised as children who infiltrated Konoha? But..."
With a Kunai in his hand, Uchiha Itachi charged at Kimimaro and Haku once again.
Kimimaro met the attack without fear, but as soon as they clashed, Uchiha Itachi in front of Kimimaro suddenly turned into white smoke and disappeared.
Clone Technique?!
Kimimaro's eyes flickered as he immediately looked around, searching for Uchiha Itachi's location. But almost in the next instant, Uchiha Itachi burst out from behind a tree, catching Haku in a blind spot.
"Watch out!"
When Kimimaro saw that Haku was in danger, he threw the bone sword in his hand with all his might. However, to the surprise of Kimimaro and Haku, it turned out that Uchiha Itachi was actually a clone!
It wasn't Shadow Clone, just a regular Clone Technique, but Uchiha Itachi felt that Kimimaro's use of it was far better than any other ninja he had ever encountered!
Whoosh!!
The next moment, Uchiha Itachi reappeared and charged directly at Kimimaro, his kunai Kunai slamming down on Kimimaro's back.
Kimimaro sensed danger, but he wasn't afraid. Instead, he created a layer of bone beneath his skin, preparing to withstand Uchiha Itachi's attack head-on, and then grow more bone from his back to counterattack Uchiha Itachi. (To be continued.)
