“Nawaki, do you think that little blond brat is going to cry later?” Yu glanced lazily toward Minato, who was currently practicing nearby with a Kunai in hand.
Nawaki folded his arms and looked over as well.
“Hard to say.
That kid looks pretty weak to me.”
Yu chuckled lightly.
“Want to make a bet?”
Nawaki immediately became cautious.
Every single time he gambled with this bastard, he lost miserably.
Still, when he looked at Minato’s harmless appearance, he felt tempted again.
After hesitating for a while, Nawaki finally gritted his teeth.
“Fine, let’s bet.
But what are we betting?”
The smile on Yu’s face immediately became somewhat sinister.
“If you win, you can choose any Ninjutsu I know.
As long as you want to learn it, I’ll teach it to you properly without holding anything back.”
Nawaki’s eyes instantly lit up.
“Really?!”
He had been coveting Yu’s techniques for a very long time already.
Especially Chidori and that Rasengan.
Just imagining them made him drool.
He had begged countless times before, but Yu always rejected him with the excuse that his talent was too poor.
Yu grinned proudly.
“Of course.
This Young Master’s words carry weight.”
After saying that, Yu’s expression changed slightly.
“But if you lose, then I want to take a look at your Senju Clan’s secret techniques.”
“No problem!” Nawaki immediately agreed without hesitation.
Aside from Hashirama’s Wood Release, the Senju Clan’s inherited techniques weren’t considered particularly special anyway.
As for Tobirama’s Flying Thunder God Technique, that was classified as a forbidden technique.
Even he himself wasn’t qualified to access it.
At that moment, Yu suddenly raised a hand.
“Quiet.
Someone’s coming.”
The surroundings instantly fell silent.
Below the cliff, a group of Rain Ninja slowly escorted several horse-drawn carriages forward.
Once the convoy entered the prepared ambush zone, Yu calmly made a hand signal.
The others immediately nodded in understanding.
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
Dozens of Kunai carrying exploding tags instantly flew downward.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Violent explosions erupted continuously, immediately throwing the Rain Ninja convoy into complete chaos.
“Enemy attack!”
“Kill them!”
Several Uchiha Clan members immediately rushed out first while the others followed closely behind.
The Rain Ninja had just recovered from the explosions when several scarlet eyes suddenly locked onto them.
The next second, their movements froze.
Before they could even react, cold blades had already slit through their throats.
Blood splattered everywhere instantly.
Meanwhile, Nawaki rapidly formed hand seals before inhaling deeply.
“Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique!”
Roar!
A massive dragon formed entirely from flames roared as it surged forward violently.
Boom!
Several Rain Ninja directly in its path were instantly burned into charred corpses.
Nearby, several Uchiha simultaneously completed their own hand seals.
“Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!”
Huge fireballs immediately swept across the battlefield.
The remaining Rain Ninja had no ability to resist such overwhelming attacks and were quickly burned alive.
On the other side of the battlefield, Minato was currently fighting a Rain Ninja alone.
Surprisingly, the blond boy showed neither panic nor fear after witnessing death for the first time.
He only looked somewhat uncomfortable.
Still, Minato clearly understood one thing.
On the battlefield, either you kill your enemy…
Or your enemy kills you.
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
After several rapid exchanges, Minato suddenly found an opening.
His Kunai instantly thrust forward.
Squelch!
The Rain Ninja’s eyes widened as blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Because it was his first time killing someone, Minato subconsciously hesitated at the final moment, causing the Kunai to become stuck midway instead of piercing cleanly through.
The Rain Ninja’s expression immediately twisted viciously.
With one final burst of strength, he raised his own Kunai and stabbed viciously toward Minato.
Clang!
A long sword suddenly blocked the incoming strike.
Immediately afterward, a large hand pressed down onto Minato’s wrist.
Puchi!
The Kunai instantly pierced straight through the enemy’s heart.
The Rain Ninja’s pupils trembled violently before his body slowly collapsed lifelessly onto the ground.
Minato’s breathing became chaotic, his little face pale from shock.
“T-thank you, Senior!”
Yu slowly sheathed his sword before glancing toward Nawaki with a playful smile.
“He didn’t wet himself.
Looks like you lost.”
“Huh?!”
Minato froze completely.
After processing Yu’s words, his face immediately turned bright red.
“Senior, that’s too much!
Did you really think I would wet my pants?!”
“Hahahahaha!”
Not only Yu laughed.
Even the surrounding Uchiha Clan members burst into loud laughter as well.
Minato immediately became even more embarrassed.
At that moment, several figures suddenly landed nearby.
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
More than ten Sand Ninja instantly appeared.
“Enemies!”
Minato reacted immediately and gripped his Kunai tightly.
However, Yu casually raised a hand to stop him.
“Senior?”
Yu slowly stepped forward while smiling faintly.
“Interesting.
So it’s the Sand Ninja from Sunagakure.
Instead of grieving properly over there, what are you doing running around here?”
A red-haired boy slowly stepped out from the crowd, staring coldly at Yu.
“Are you Uchiha Yu?”
Yu glanced at the conspicuous red hair before shifting his gaze toward the girl standing beside him.
Even though she was only twelve years old, her figure was already surprisingly mature.
A meaningful smile slowly appeared on Yu’s face.
“So there are still people from the Sand willing to die.
Anyone else hiding nearby?
You should all come out now, otherwise you probably won’t get another chance later.”
“We are enough!” Pakura coldly snorted as a blazing orb of heat appeared in her palm.
Yu merely smiled dismissively.
“I’ll handle these two myself.
You all deal with the rest.”
“Yes!”
The surrounding Uchiha immediately charged toward the remaining Sand Ninja without hesitation.
Pakura’s eyes instantly turned cold.
“Arrogant!”
She directly hurled the blazing orb forward.
Yu casually drew the Kusanagi Sword from his waist.
“That’s because This Young Master has the confidence to be arrogant.”
Clang!
The incoming scorching orb was sliced apart instantly.
At the same time, Yu’s figure disappeared from the spot.
Pakura’s expression changed slightly as multiple scorching spheres rapidly formed around her body.
“Scorch Release: Overkill Barrage!”
At the same moment, Rasa quickly formed hand seals.
“Magnet Release: Gold Dust Cube!”
Countless particles of golden dust rapidly gathered above his head before condensing into an enormous golden cube.
Swish!
Yu had only just finished slicing through Pakura’s attacks when the massive Gold Dust cube descended directly toward him.
However, Yu showed no intention of dodging at all.
Lightning instantly erupted across the blade in his hand.
“Uchiha Sword Style: Great Force Slash!”
Clang!
The massive Gold Dust cube was instantly split into two pieces by a single sword strike.
Rasa and Pakura’s expressions changed simultaneously.
What terrifying swordsmanship!
Crackle!
Lightning rapidly spread across Yu’s body as his figure vanished once more.
“Gold Dust Shield!”
Rasa no longer dared underestimate him and immediately condensed a protective barrier around both himself and Pakura.
Unfortunately, the shield only lasted for a brief instant.
Clang!
Yu’s sword directly sliced straight through the Gold Dust barrier.
The next second, his figure appeared directly before Rasa.
Rasa’s pupils shrank violently.
Yu’s blade instantly slashed toward his throat.
However, just before the sword connected, Rasa’s body transformed into Gold Dust and scattered away.
Yu chuckled softly.
“A substitution?
As expected of the future Fourth Kazekage.
Your reactions really aren’t bad.”
“Scorch Release!”
Pakura suddenly appeared overhead while holding an enormous blazing sphere far larger than before.
At the same time, Rasa manipulated countless streams of Gold Dust to bind Yu’s movements completely.
One attacked from above.
The other restricted his movement.
There was seemingly no path of escape.
“Yu!”
“Captain!”
“Senior!”
The nearby Konoha Ninja immediately shouted anxiously and tried rushing over to assist him.
Unfortunately, the Sand Ninja desperately blocked their path.
“Tsk.”
Yu clicked his tongue lightly.
“If I already had that technique, I could just casually slap this aside.”
Crackle!
The lightning surrounding the Kusanagi Sword became even more violent.
Yu suddenly reversed his grip on the blade.
“Lightning Release: Heavy Flow Blade!”
Boom!
A violent roar erupted.
The gigantic scorching sphere was split cleanly in half by Yu’s sword strike.
Rasa and Pakura were completely shocked.
However, before they could react further, Yu’s voice suddenly sounded behind them.
“Now isn’t the time to lose focus.”
Their expressions changed drastically.
Bang!
Rasa was kicked flying violently into the distance.
Meanwhile, Yu turned around calmly, the cold blade in his hand slashing directly toward Pakura’s neck.
