“Gulp!” Minato swallowed hard as he stared at the battlefield ahead.

“Are all Uchiha Clan members this strong?”

Nawaki looked over at the Uchiha Clan Members who had just finished killing the last enemy Ninja and chuckled smugly.Full novel: Naruto: The Fourth Hokage’s Shadow — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

“Of course.

During the Warring States Era, the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan fought each other constantly.

If anyone understands how terrifying those monsters are, it’s definitely the Senju Clan.”

Seeing that all the enemies on this side had been wiped out, Manda didn’t dare utter any nonsense anymore.

These people were all Uchiha Yu’s clansmen, and their Sharingan Genjutsu was equally troublesome.

He had absolutely no intention of provoking them.

After swallowing the nearby corpses in several bites, Manda obediently coiled around the convoy and continued escorting the wounded forward.

Meanwhile, deep within the forest battlefield, Yu pierced a Ninja’s heart with his long blade.

Pfft!

He casually flung the corpse aside and glanced toward the distant battlefield behind him before sneering coldly.

“Does Danzo really think everyone in the world is as stupid as he is?”

Then Yu slowly raised his head, his gaze turning icy.

“Alright, now only a few of you trash remain.”

Kakuzu and the remaining four enemies all wore extremely ugly expressions.

None of them had expected five Jonin-level experts to die instantly after merely one exchange.

This was simply a complete humiliation.

“Don’t get too arrogant, brat!”

Kakuzu roared furiously and punched forward violently.

Bang!

His fist detached directly from his arm and shot toward Yu at high speed while connected by countless black tendrils.

“Heh!”

Yu sneered coldly as Lightning Release chakra burst across his body.

Just as the fist was about to strike him, his figure flickered and vanished from the spot.

“So fast!”

Kakuzu’s pupils contracted violently.

This brat had relied purely on terrifying speed to instantly slaughter five people earlier.

“Ahhhh!”

A miserable scream suddenly rang out behind him.

Kakuzu immediately turned around and saw another companion getting pierced through the chest by Yu’s long blade.

“Damn bastard!”

Kakuzu became completely enraged.

He slammed his hand onto the ground, and countless black tendrils instantly burst from beneath the earth like living creatures.

Yu merely maintained his cold smile as his figure flashed again, instantly disappearing from sight.

Clang!

Another Ninja hurriedly blocked the incoming blade.

However, the next moment, he saw a rapidly spinning chakra sphere appear in Yu’s hand.

Bang!

The Rasengan smashed directly into the enemy’s face.

The Ninja let out a miserable scream as his entire body flew backward before crashing heavily into the ground, unable to rise again.

At the same time, another enemy quickly formed hand seals.

“Buy me some time!”

The moment he raised his hands, his expression froze completely.

Because Uchiha Yu, who had been standing before him a second earlier, had already vanished.

Swish!

A cold flash of sword light passed by.

The enemy’s head instantly flew into the sky.

Yu grabbed the severed head by the hair and sneered mockingly.

“Danzo truly spent a lot of money to kill This Young Master.

He even dispatched a member of the Yamanaka Clan.”

“Careful!”

The final remaining Ninja roared angrily after seeing his companion die.

He instantly tore off his gloves, revealing palms covered in strange purple venom.

Just as the Aburame Clan Ninja was about to launch an attack, violent lightning suddenly erupted nearby.

Crackle!

Pfft!

A long blade pierced directly through his chest, the tip emerging from his back.

“Ugh!”

The Aburame Ninja gritted his teeth tightly before grabbing Yu’s body firmly.

“For Lord Danzo!”

The moment he roared those words, countless poisonous insects surged toward Yu from every direction.

However, just before the insects could touch him, violent Lightning Release exploded from Yu’s body.

Crackle!

Crackle!

Crackle!

The poisonous insects were instantly electrocuted into ashes.

After dealing with the insects, Yu immediately vanished from the spot.

Almost at the same moment, Kakuzu’s detached fist smashed violently into the dead body of the Aburame Ninja, blasting it away.

Yu landed calmly in a nearby clearing and looked toward Kakuzu with a mocking smile.

“Do you only know how to launch sneak attacks, Kakuzu?”

“Damn it!”

Kakuzu retracted his fist, his face becoming increasingly ugly.

There was no denying it anymore.

This brat was terrifyingly powerful.

He no longer had confidence in killing him.

“What?

You’re not attacking anymore?”

Yu laughed coldly.

“If that’s the case, then This Young Master will attack instead!”

The instant he finished speaking, his Sharingan activated immediately.

Kakuzu’s expression changed greatly, and he hurriedly shut his eyes.

However, in the next moment, a long blade pierced directly through his chest.

Pfft!

Kakuzu spat out a large mouthful of blood.

After successfully landing the attack, Yu instantly retreated because he knew very well how troublesome Kakuzu’s secret technique was.

“Ahhhh!”

Kakuzu suddenly let out a painful roar.

His back bulged violently before a pitch-black creature crawled out from within his body.

After struggling for a moment, the black masked creature collapsed lifelessly onto the ground.

“Tsk tsk tsk.”

Yu looked at the thing with visible disgust.

“What a disgusting ability.

So this is the forbidden technique that allowed you to survive until now?”

Kakuzu clutched his chest tightly while glaring at Yu murderously.

“Damn brat, you actually destroyed one of This Young Master’s hearts!”

Yu shook his head indifferently.

“You still have four hearts remaining, so what are you panicking for?

Speaking of which, I heard you once fought against Senju Hashirama.

But your strength seems a little disappointing.”

Kakuzu’s face instantly darkened completely.

He recalled the memory he least wished to remember.

Back then, Senju Hashirama had nearly killed him with a single move.

Facing that monster, he hadn’t even possessed the courage to resist.

“You want to see true strength, right?!”

Kakuzu roared furiously while clasping his hands together.

His body suddenly swelled as three pitch-black masked creatures burst from his back.

Kakuzu’s eyes filled with vicious killing intent.

“Damn brat, This Young Master will use your heart to replace the one you destroyed!”

The three masks immediately opened their mouths.

“Wind Release: Pressure Damage!”

“Lightning Release: False Darkness!”

“Fire Release: Searing Migraine!”

Boom!

Three high-level elemental Ninjutsu attacks surged toward Yu simultaneously.

“Sigh…

if only This Young Master had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan already.”

Yu sighed softly before rapidly forming hand seals.

“Fire Release: Garuda!”

Roar!

A gigantic Fire Dragon instantly appeared before him.

The dragon opened its massive jaws and directly collided against the incoming elemental attacks.

Rumble!

A violent explosion erupted instantly.

Lightning, flames, and violent shockwaves spread in every direction, flattening the surrounding forest.

Kakuzu’s expression became even uglier.

“Damn brat, what kind of ridiculous Fire Release technique is that?!”

“What are you staring at?”

Kakuzu’s pupils suddenly contracted.

At some point, Yu had already appeared directly above him while slashing downward with his long blade.

Swish!

A flash of cold sword light passed.

One of Kakuzu’s arms instantly flew into the air.

However, Kakuzu still managed to avoid the fatal strike and quickly retreated backward.

Yu landed calmly onto the ground.

Kacha!

His blade stabbed into the earth instantly.

“Lightning Release: Ground Running!”

Crackle!

Lightning surged rapidly through the ground and instantly reached Kakuzu’s feet.

Before Kakuzu could react, his body suddenly went numb.

Yu’s figure flashed again and instantly appeared before him with the blade aimed directly at his forehead.

Clang!

The hardened Jiongu threads barely blocked the incoming attack and saved Kakuzu from immediate death.

“Damn it!”

Kakuzu looked at the destroyed Jiongu mass nearby with an increasingly ugly expression.

In such a short amount of time, he had already lost two hearts.

If this battle continued any longer, things would become extremely dangerous.

“It’s not over yet!”

Yu shouted coldly before spitting out a bolt of Lightning Release.

Rumble!

Kakuzu barely managed to dodge in time.

The ground where he had been standing exploded instantly, leaving behind a massive crater.

However, the moment Kakuzu landed, his eyes widened in horror.

A terrifying sphere had appeared in Yu’s hand.

The sphere spun rapidly while being surrounded by countless Wind Release blades.

Yu shouted loudly as he hurled it forward.

“Take This Young Master’s technique, Wind Release: Shuriken!”

Buzz!

The attack instantly reached Kakuzu.

Crash!

The final remaining mask was shredded apart immediately.

Then a terrifying explosion erupted.

After the dust finally settled, Yu rubbed his somewhat aching arm and sighed regretfully.

“My physical strength still isn’t enough.

This Lightning Release body tempering progresses far too slowly.”

Not far away, Kakuzu spat out another mouthful of blood while staring at Yu with lingering fear.

“Damn it…

what kind of monstrous technique was that?

If that attack had landed directly on me, I definitely would’ve died!”
