The world begins with refining skills

Chapter 387 Fire Release: Unknown Flame! The Danger of Shadow's Demise! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
With a thought, the chakra armored giant beneath Uchiha Rin raised its long sword once more.

The cracks on the blade were repaired in an instant.

The Susanoo is formed from highly concentrated chakra, so repairing this level of damage is not difficult at all.

"Do everything in your power to please me, Konoha's strongest Hokage!"

Bang!Bang!Bang!
With a series of powerful, charged strikes, Hiruzen Sarutobi had no chance to retaliate.

"Lord Hokage!"

Seeing this, the Hokage's direct ANBU ninjas also desperately attacked Uchiha Rin, trying to help Sarutobi Hiruzen out of trouble.

"Don't even think about interfering with the clan leader's battle; your opponent is right here!"

A group of Uchiha ninjas with three tomoe on their heads rushed towards the Anbu ninjas.

Soldier against soldier, against general!
The two sides quickly engaged in fierce fighting.

Throughout the entire battlefield, the Sarutobi clan was engaged in a one-sided massacre, while the other Konoha ninjas were mostly just going through the motions. This battle was the most intense.

"Ha ha ha ha."

"As expected of the strongest Hokage in Konoha, I would call you the strongest in terms of resilience!"

Rin Uchiha looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with disdain, and two more arms grew from the waist of his 'Susanoo'.

Five hands clenched into fists, and five giant ninja swords slowly materialized.

Together with the previous one, the six chakra ninja swords slammed down on Hiruzen Sarutobi like rapidly spinning propellers.

After a series of loud explosions, a large crater was cleaved into the ground.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi's figure had disappeared without a trace.

"Where did you go?"

Rin Uchiha didn't think that Hiruzen Sarutobi had been cut to ashes by her. After all, he was a Kage-level shinobi, and there should have been some bloodstains left behind.

His blood-red Sharingan warily surveyed his surroundings, guarding against Hiruzen Sarutobi's sneak attack.

"Diamond Scepter".

A thick, black iron rod suddenly appeared from a distance and pierced straight into Uchiha Rin's body.

The immense force sent Uchiha Rin flying off the head of the 'Susanoo'.

puff~

The impact on her chest and abdomen caused Rin Uchiha to cough up a mouthful of blood.

As her body was thrown back, Rin Uchiha finally saw what had attacked her.

A steel rod, several tens of meters long, and still growing longer.

Back when the Nine-Tails wreaked havoc, Hiruzen Sarutobi used this technique to push the Nine-Tails, which was rampaging through the village, out of the village.

Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!

Fire Release: Flame Bullet!

As Rin Uchiha's body was still flying backward, Hiruzen Sarutobi's ninjutsu attacked.

A dragon of earth, over ten meters long, emerged from the ground behind Uchiha Rin.

The earth dragon opened its massive, several-meter-high maw with fangs, and head-sized stone projectiles shot out from its mouth.

Next to the earth dragon was Hiruzen Sarutobi, dressed in a ninja battle suit.

He stood with his hands in front of his chest forming a mudra, his mouth wide open, spewing out a burst of scorching flames.

The flames ignited the stone projectiles spewed out by the earth dragon, instantly transforming the head-sized projectiles into burning cannonballs.

It slammed straight into Uchiha Rin's body.

boom!
boom!
boom!
Fireballs exploded on Rin Uchiha's body.

A steel rod several tens of meters long, with exploding flames constantly erupting from one end of the rod.

From a distance, it looks like a lit fairy wand!

It looks quite beautiful!
A moment later, the earth dragon, having lost its chakra support, disappeared, and Hiruzen Sarutobi also shut his mouth, the Vajra Iron Rod slowly retracting.

Rin Uchiha's body fell from the sky and crashed to the ground with a thud.

A vajra staff as thick as a thigh flew from afar and landed directly in Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand.

An eye emerged from the staff. The Monkey King looked at the enemy lying on the ground not far away and asked, "Hiruzen, did you finish her off?"

If it were an ordinary ninja, they would probably have lost their lives long ago after being attacked by Hiruzen Sarutobi and his summoning beast Enma.

But when faced with an Uchiha who had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, Enma was not so sure.

"Wait! What's that?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes narrowed as he noticed a faint blue light emanating from Rin Uchiha's exposed body, beneath her armor.

Could it be.
Hiruzen Sarutobi thought of something, looked up, and saw the five-meter-tall chakra armor giant in the place where Rin Uchiha had been before.

It has disintegrated to the point that only a skeleton remains.

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi looked over, the skeleton collapsed with a crash and completely dissipated.

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately began forming hand seals, causing the skin on both sides of his cheeks to bulge.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Slash!"

Cylindrical wind-style chakra bolts, like bullets, pierced the air and shot towards Uchiha Rin, who was lying on the ground.

puff!puff!puff!
The wind-style chakra, with its powerful cutting ability, instantly drilled deep holes in the ground.

However, Rin Uchiha's body was no longer in the same place.

"You're really cautious, Hokage-sama!"

Rin Uchiha appeared right next to the hole; if Hiruzen Sarutobi's attack had been slightly off-center, it could have hit her.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that this possibility did not exist.

At this moment, Uchiha Rin's blood-red samurai armor was covered with dents and charred marks.

Clearly, Hiruzen Sarutobi's ninjutsu attack did not miss.

Just by looking at how Uchiha Rin could still speak with such vigor, it was clear that the attack hadn't had much effect.

"It's because the armor is wrong!"

If that armor had been so strong, things wouldn't be like this now.

"That's Susanoo!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought of the chakra-armored giant that had vanished.

It is speculated that Rin Uchiha must have recast her eye technique called Susanoo before being attacked by his ninjutsu.

"Damn it, how could this level of eye technique be so fast?"

"Hiruzen, look at her face!" Enma seemed to have noticed something and reminded him.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked closely and saw a small patch of charred, bloody flesh on Rin Uchiha's right cheek.

My attack just now wasn't ineffective, it was just not very noticeable.

"Is it because the chakra armor isn't thick enough?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi realized something; it seemed that the strength of that Susanoo was related to its size.

That doesn't mean it's impossible to win her over!
"Huh? You actually hurt me!"

Rin Uchiha seemed to feel the pain on her face as well, touching the blast wound.

"It can penetrate my armor made of chakra metal and even injure me through the 'divinely bestowed armor'."

A green light emanated from Uchiha Rin's face, and her cheek, which had been injured by the fireball, was healing at a visible speed.

In the blink of an eye, the charred flesh fell off naturally, revealing fair and smooth skin.

"Hokage-sama, you are even more amazing than I imagined!" However, Hiruzen Sarutobi showed no joy at Uchiha Rin's praise.

His gaze was completely drawn to the green chakra light.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was known as the "Professor of Ninjutsu," recognized what it was at a glance.

It's the Yang Release chakra used when performing medical ninjutsu!

"How is that possible! Only Tsunade could probably perform medical ninjutsu of this level, right?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately thought of his disciple who had left Konoha long ago.

However, Tsunade's ability to possess such profound medical ninjutsu is due to her Senju clan bloodline and years of dedicated training.

Rin Uchiha is just a little girl who hasn't even grown up yet, how could she possibly possess such powerful medical ninjutsu?
"Are you ready, Hokage? I'm about to attack!"

Regardless of how shocked Hiruzen Sarutobi was, Rin Uchiha unleashed her chakra and charged towards him.

The previous ninja sword was destroyed in the bombing, so Rin Uchiha directly condensed a new one using a high concentration of chakra.

boom! when!
The chakra ninja sword clashed with the summoning beast's iron rod, sending sparks flying.

The second battle begins!
Rin Uchiha is agile and nimble, but her swordsmanship is extremely domineering and ruthless, with every move being a wide and sweeping attack.

The Third Hokage, who came from the Sarutobi clan, was equally agile and nimble, like a monkey living in the jungle.

The iron rod in his hand was powerful and heavy, and it was incredibly fierce when he struck people.

The fight between the two can be described as Zhang Fei fighting Li Kui – they've finally met their match!
Hiruzen Sarutobi grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed. He could understand Susanoo before, after all, it was the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan.

No matter how powerful it is, it's never too much!

But what's going on now? How could Uchiha Rin possess such superb taijutsu skills and physical strength that completely rivals his!

boom! ! !
After another clash, both of them were sent flying backwards.

boom! Click!

Rin Uchiha's body slammed directly into a wall.

"what"

This appears to be a shop, where some Konoha villagers who hadn't had time to evacuate are hiding.

Upon seeing Uchiha Rin suddenly fly in, the villagers were immediately terrified and panicked.

Rin Uchiha only glanced at it before leaving.

Lightning Release: Lightning Wave!

As soon as Rin Uchiha stepped out of the hole in the wall, she saw a lightning attack coming straight at her.

Faced with Hiruzen Sarutobi's sneak attack, Rin Uchiha immediately conjured the skeleton of 'Susanoo' in front of her and blocked the attack.

"A ninjutsu contest?"

A smile appeared on Uchiha Rin's lips; she was getting a little tired of the taijutsu battle just now.

"Let me see for myself the strength of the Ninjutsu Doctor!"

Fire Release: Unknown Flame!

Rin Uchiha quickly formed hand seals, gathering a large amount of Fire Release chakra in her mouth before spitting it out towards Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Strangely, however, no flames were seen.

"Ok?"

A hint of surprise rose in Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart, and he instinctively dodged to the side.

Seeing this, Rin Uchiha also turned her head, always facing the direction where Hiruzen Sarutobi was.

Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's suspicions deepened. Even though he couldn't see anything, he still tentatively threw out a few shuriken.

call out!call out!call out!
The rapidly spinning shuriken flew straight toward Uchiha Rin.

However, as it flew into the air, a faint flame suddenly ignited on the steel shuriken.

It quickly melted into red-hot iron blocks and fell to the ground.

Hiruzen Sarutobi noticed that the shuriken that had fallen to the ground seemed to still be being scorched by the high temperature, and soon melted into molten iron.

"What ninjutsu is this?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a wave of fear wash over him. If he hadn't been more alert, he would probably be burned to a crisp by now.

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

Seeing that Uchiha Rin had turned her head towards him again, Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly used a water-style ninjutsu.

A waterfall of water surged forth, rushing toward the unseen flames.

Sizzle~ Sizzle~

The clash between water and fire produced a large amount of water vapor, enveloping several surrounding streets in a white mist.

"As expected of the Hokage, you managed to dodge that."

Rin Uchiha's laughter echoed through the mist.

"Is the Hokage curious why he can't see my Fire Release attack?"

"It's actually very simple. The Hokage probably knows that alcohol can ignite fires."

Alcohol? Is it alcohol?

A hint of doubt arose in Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind.

However, I wasn't puzzled about the connection between Uchiha Rin's Fire Release ninjutsu and alcohol, but rather why she was explaining the underlying principles to me.

"Alcohol can be ignited because it contains something called ethanol, and pure ethanol burns without any color!"

Rin Uchiha's voice came from all directions, making it impossible for Hiruzen Sarutobi to determine her location.

"My Fire Release: No-Name Flame was developed based on this principle. How about that? It's very simple, isn't it!"

Simple?

Not simple at all!
As a Kage-level ninja proficient in all five elemental ninjutsu, Hiruzen Sarutobi knew better than anyone how difficult it was to develop a ninjutsu from scratch.

The fact that Rin Uchiha was able to create such a unique Fire Release ninjutsu reminded him of someone.

That boy, who was also only 12 years old, created a variety of ninjutsu and bloodline limits—Kamihara Masaru!

and many more!

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly realized the connection.

How could two children with such extraordinary talent suddenly emerge from a village?

"The ninjutsu you developed? It's by Katsumi Kanbara."

"Hiruzen! Watch out!"

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was about to expose Rin Uchiha's lie, he suddenly received a warning from Enma.

The mist behind him suddenly parted to the sides, as if an invisible blade had cleaved him through the middle.

It turns out that at some point, the fog had become so thick that people could no longer be seen.

[Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique!]

[Sharingan Genjutsu: The Technique of Knowing the Gap!]

Rin Uchiha first used the Hidden Mist Technique to confuse the eyes, and then used Sharingan genjutsu to deceive Hiruzen Sarutobi into noticing the danger.

They actually managed to sneak up behind Hiruzen Sarutobi!
The invisible blade formed by [Fire Release: Unnamed Flame] pierced straight towards Hiruzen Sarutobi's back.

puff~

A splatter of blood erupted!
