I, Uchiha Yu, am solely focused on cultivating immortality

Chapter 83 A Powerful Aura Intimidates the Fourth Kazekage

As the human-shaped fireworks exploded, terrifying ash covered Sunagakure, and the smell of burning proteins, representing death, along with a strange stench, spread throughout the village.

Just like Konoha Village a few months ago, ordinary villagers and young genin began to vomit upon smelling the stench, while veteran ninjas immediately connected the dots and, with grim faces and uncontrollable rage, formed search teams and immediately began their search.

At this time, the high-ranking officials of Sunagakure were also alarmed, but those old guys who were high-ranking officials in the previous war did not move.

So what if there are just a few fireworks? So what if there are dead people in the fireworks? Using such actions that cause no real harm proves that the enemy is weak and doesn't dare to provoke Sunagakure in a direct manner.

In other words, Sunagakure might lose face at most, but which of these old guys hasn't been toughened up by experience? Losing face is Sunagakure's business, what does it have to do with me, Chiyo/Ebizo/Uemura Yoshitoki/...?

The old guys weren't concerned about the enemy; instead, they turned their attention to two other high-ranking officials, two young upstarts.

With the Sand Village about to launch a war, a leader capable of making urgent decisions must be chosen, and the struggle between Rasa and Pakura has entered its final stage.

People are already inclined to believe that Rasa, who has mastered Magnet Release, has similar abilities and a close relationship with the Third Kazekage, which is most conducive to the succession of power and to uniting the people and fighting strength of Sunagakure.

Therefore, elders like Ebizo have already secretly revealed the news to Rasa: the selection of the Fourth Kazekage will be determined within two days, and then the new Kazekage will announce the start of war against Konoha.

He didn't explicitly say that Rasa was the Fourth Kazekage, but by revealing the details of the village's war plan, his actions were clear enough.

Excited, Luo Sha stayed up all night watching the stars from the roof of his house, and thus saw the fire and fireworks first, and was covered in ashes.

While enjoying the most triumphant moment of his life, Luo Sha was suddenly insulted in such a way. He immediately flew into a rage and manipulated Jin Sha to lift himself up and rush towards the direction where the fireworks appeared.

On the other side, Yekura was a person without much thought. She had been sleeping soundly for a long time. After being awakened by the explosion, she quickly got dressed.

When Yecang came out, he saw Luosha riding on golden sand, rushing up the cliff outside the village.

Without any hesitation, she immediately chased after it in that direction, leaped over the cliff at top speed, and rushed out of the village.

After setting off the fireworks, Uchiha Yu immediately moved away from Sunagakure. Because the sand was very soft, and with the support of earth-attribute natural energy, he moved underground at a speed no slower than he could run.

So he simply stayed underground and made a quick and covert escape.

Uchiha Yu didn't have a specific destination. He only needed to delay for another five minutes and wait for the reverse summoning from Miwa Masayo to instantly reach the South China Sea, thousands of kilometers away.

No matter how powerful the ninjas from Sunagakure are, they can't possibly catch up.

However, in his first confrontation with a large ninja village, Uchiha Yu exercised the utmost caution. He not only changed his face, altered his height, applied makeup, wore colored contact lenses, and put on a mask, but he also restrained all his chakra, deliberately using only natural energy.

The main selling point is the meticulous attention to detail in the camouflage.

Using natural energy has a significant advantage: it is less likely to be detected by ninjas.

Uchiha Yu sensed some ninjas moving at exceptionally high speeds, or ninjas riding some kind of flying device or ninja beast, passing by him or above him, but no one noticed that he was right beneath their feet.

Soon, the five-minute countdown ended, and Uchiha Yu simply stopped, pushing aside the sand around him to form a spherical space with a diameter of two meters, waiting for the reverse summoning from Miwa Masayo.

Uchiha Yu even had time to silently count down the final thirty seconds in his mind: [28, 27, ...]

【3, 2, 1...】

【Um? 】

Uchiha Yu was surprised not to receive the familiar reverse summoning call on time. More than three years after making a contract with Miwa Masayo, this was the first time that a promise had been broken.

Uchiha Yu gasped. If the reverse summoning plan failed, he would have to find a way to break out. He immediately began to check to rule out any possible reasons why the reverse summoning might have failed.

The time is confirmed; the agreed-upon time has indeed passed.

The magnetic field is normal in the vicinity, the reaction is weak, and there is no problem.

The seal was tested and confirmed to be unaffected.

He used natural energy to try and confirm that he could still establish a connection with the Cat Castle and summon her ninja cat underlings through the contract with Miwa Masayo.

Uchiha Yu then tried to summon Miwa Masayo, and found that he could communicate normally with the tanuki cat's chakra, but did not receive a response that she could summon him.

Uchiha Yu didn't force a summoning, otherwise, the only way for the two of them, one human and one cat, to break through the encirclement of Sunagakure would have been extremely dangerous.

Instead of suspecting he had been betrayed, he began to worry about the tabby cat's safety, believing it might have fallen into a coma for some reason.

So Uchiha Yuu tried to awaken Miwa Masayo using a summoning jutsu while preparing to continue advancing under the sand.

But then he noticed that the sand beneath his feet was the wrong color, and that the strangely colored sand could move on its own.

In Sunagakure, only Shukaku the One-Tailed Beast and its jinchūriki, as well as the Third Kazekage who has already been killed, can control the sand.

However, it is unknown whether the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, has already ascended to the position of Kazekage. He can also control a special kind of sand, Gold Sand.

Uchiha Yu snapped his fingers, and a flame ignited in the small spherical space. Sure enough, the sand that had been squeezed out of the sand reflected a dazzling light.

This confirms that it was indeed Luo Sha who arrived.

Uchiha Yu could even conclude that Rasa had flown over his head on a piece of golden sand, reached the outer perimeter but couldn't find his target, and then returned to thoroughly examine the underground.

Since Jinsha has infiltrated the spherical space he dug out, Luosha must have discovered him. So what should he do next?

Either run away with all your might, no longer caring about hiding or not, and unleash your full firepower to forcefully break through the encirclement of the Sand Village ninjas before they realize the situation is not right and mobilize more Kage-level ninjas to support you.

But to be honest, because Luo Sha could fly, this plan was extremely difficult to implement. It was easy for him to be surrounded repeatedly, and in the end, he was defeated and killed in the encirclement and annihilation of the army.

Alternatively, they could create a grand Versailles-like spectacle, using the characteristics of natural energy, supernatural powers, and genjutsu to intimidate all the Sand Village ninjas, buying time for Masayoshi Miwa's reverse summoning.

If successful, not only will they be able to escape smoothly, but they will also frighten the Sand Village ninjas and mislead their investigation, making the outcome perfect.

If they fail, they might not even have a chance to struggle before being surrounded and brutally beaten by five or six Kage-level ninjas from Sunagakure, leaving them no room to fight back.

The key to this plan lies in whether Miwa Masayo can recover in time and get rid of Uchiha Yu.

Uchiha Yu laughed: "Heh, of course we can only trust her. I trust that Miwa Masayo won't abandon me here."

With his mind made up, Uchiha Yuu unleashed his full energy, instantly softening the sand within a hundred-meter radius into water.

No one expected the sand to suddenly turn into flowing water. At least twenty Sand Village ninjas fell into the liquefied sand, screaming and struggling in terror.

They had all witnessed the Third Kazekage's sand manipulation technique. No matter how powerful a Jonin was, once they were trapped in the Kazekage's sand, they would be tragically crushed into a bloody pulp.

While the Sand Village ninja were crying for help and struggling, Uchiha Yu slowly rose from the sand.

Yekura asked with a grave expression, "Is this Magnet Release?"

Rasa shook his head and replied, "It wasn't Magnet Release. I didn't even sense any chakra. What about you?"

"I didn't sense any chakra either, but this performance is too similar to that of the Third Kazekage."

"No, actually they're not quite the same, the difference is huge, but..." Luo Sha said seriously, "but this change in the sand can trap my golden sand, and it will be very difficult for me to separate the golden sand from this strange area."

Ye Cang clenched her fists, looked at the other person with a determined gaze, and said excitedly, "Then it should be..."

"Send word to the elders to come and support me immediately..."

Before Luo Sha could finish speaking, Ye Cang shouted excitedly:

"...I went first!!!"

Before the words were even finished, Ye Cang's figure vanished instantly, and a faint figure appeared beside Uchiha Yu, her slender frame delivering a powerful punch.

But no matter how fast a ninja is, they are nothing compared to the three-tomoe Sharingan.

Uchiha Yu activated his dynamic vision to its maximum, and the brightness of the world in his eyes suddenly decreased, but Pakura, who was moving as fast as lightning, became slow motion frame by frame.

He not only saw Yekura's movements clearly, but also predicted her landing point and next move. He even had time to admire the female ninja's beautiful appearance.

Compared to the reanimated Yoruichi he knew, the girl Yoruichi in front of him was still quite young, and her hairstyle was not a mature bun, but a high ponytail.

The living Phantom is far more attractive than the reanimated Phantom; after all, with black eyes and red pupils, any kind of beauty is diminished.

Moreover, a high ponytail suits Yekura's tall figure better, or rather, it better fits the aesthetic of a certain 18-year-old man who likes this style.

But liking and indulging are two different things, especially since Pakura came here to fight Uchiha Yu.

[Omniscient Mind's Eye] activated.

【Free and Easy Wandering】Activated.

After activating the two supernatural powers, as Yekura approached within twelve meters, Uchiha Yu was able to perceive more detailed information through his Mind's Eye, to the point that his Sharingan temporarily took a backseat.

With absolute control over his surroundings, the ability to move freely was activated naturally. Uchiha Yu easily found the flaw in Pakura's attack and completely avoided the storm of attacks simply by moving his feet.

His movements were so relaxed, naturally revealing an elegant and graceful air.

The Sand Village ninjas around felt a chill run down their spines when they saw the enemy so gracefully and naturally ignoring Pakura's attack, and naturally thought, "I am no match for him."

In fact, the Uchiha clan was also worried.

He hadn't expected that activating two supernatural powers simultaneously would consume so much natural energy.

If this rate of consumption continues, after half an hour, or at most forty minutes, the natural energy in his body will be too depleted to resist the infiltration of chakra from his cells into his meridians.

However, relying solely on the Sharingan, Uchiha Yu could not fully control everything. In close combat, his advantage over Pakura was no longer absolute, and he could no longer be so relaxed and effortless, so detached from worldly concerns.

He had to move more aggressively to dodge and parry in order to suppress Yekura's attacks.

But once he starts moving, he won't have the same awe-inspiring aura as he does now. The other ninjas will likely swarm him and surround him, beating him mercilessly.

Uchiha Yu is not a battlefield dance king. His Sharingan and All-Knowing Eye are enhancements based on his combat experience, rather than directly pushing his combat power to the pinnacle of the ninja world.

His combat experience was insufficient to support him in handling gang attacks with ease, maintaining one-on-one combat at all times, and not giving the enemy any opportunity for a coordinated attack.

As for someone like Madara Uchiha, he could accurately pinpoint key points in a crowd and strike enemies with ease and precision, even taking on multiple opponents single-handedly, using their strength against them, and striking back at them with the help of their own attacks.

Uchiha Yu doesn't even dare to think about it now; he knows he can't do it.

Despite Yekura's continuous attacks, she couldn't even touch the enemy's clothes.

She was extremely close to Uchiha Yu, so she couldn't comprehend how easily the enemy moved, but being suppressed to this extent in close combat naturally made her heart pound with fear.

However, ninjas have never been good at taijutsu. With close combat being so thoroughly suppressed, Yekura immediately decided to use ninjutsu to break the deadlock.

The young ninja rapidly formed hand seals, instantly conjuring two orange fireballs.

Scorching Escape - Over-Steam Kill

For Uchiha Yu, manipulating chakra within a twelve-meter range was tantamount to a prior indication. He even sensed the specific details of the Scorching Release's operation and learned many of Pakura's techniques for manipulating it.

With his understanding of chakra, Uchiha Yuu found it easy to deal with the fireballs created by the Scorch Release.

He gently waved his left hand, using wind-attribute natural energy to invade the Scorching Release fireball, forcibly plundering the wind-attribute chakra within it, and combining it into wind-attribute sage chakra.

The fire-attribute natural energy that followed combined with the expelled fire-style chakra to form fire-attribute sage chakra.

What the Sand Village ninjas saw was that the mysterious enemy destroyed Pakura's Scorching Release fireball with a wave of his hand, breaking it down into Fire Release and Wind Release, which completely contradicted the ninjas' understanding of chakra.

Scorching Release is a bloodline limit created by the fusion of Wind Release and Fire Release. In the understanding of ninjas, what drives Scorching Release is a special chakra that is different from Wind Release and Fire Release.

But today, having come into contact with the Scorching Release for the first time, especially within the range of the All-Knowing Eye, Uchiha Yu realized that there is no such thing as Scorching Release chakra; that special chakra is actually a combination of Wind Release and Fire Release.

However, this combination is exceptionally tight and can be described as a fusion, much like the water that is formed when hydrogen and oxygen combine.

Water is certainly a completely different substance from hydrogen and oxygen, but it is not a new element.

There are only five types of chakra in the ninja world. Whether Yin and Yang can be added to make it seven is something Uchiha Yu doesn't know. Perhaps he will know after he comes into contact with the true Yin-Yang Release.

It is said that the Sharingan is a product of Yin Release, while medical ninjutsu is a product of Yang Release, but Uchiha Yu cannot confirm this.

He only detected the pupil power flowing from his brain within himself, but he did not detect any clear Yin Release chakra.

He had met no fewer than twenty medical ninjas in the ninja hospital, so he was not unfamiliar with medical ninjutsu, and he did not detect any Yang Release chakra.

Whether it's the Sharingan's eye power or the green chakra of medical ninjutsu, they are both one of the five types of chakra, just given a special form. Perhaps they should be classified as a special qualitative change.

However, Uchiha Yu could not rule out the possibility that the special chakra form was given by Yin-Yang Release chakra, and that he did not yet have enough level to access higher-level Yin-Yang Release chakra.

After all, he couldn't understand even the most basic non-attribute chakra. It clearly existed in taijutsu and could be used to perform various E-rank ninjutsu, but he just couldn't clearly separate and grasp it.

If they can't even control non-attribute chakra, it's only natural that the obviously more powerful Yin-Yang Release would be even harder to detect and understand.

Uchiha Yu destroyed the Scorching Release fireball with his bare hands, terrifying the Sand Village ninja. The stronger the Sand Village ninja, the more intense the shock.

The strongest among them, Yekura and Rasa, were terrified out of their wits.

Rasa no longer cared about saving face. He grabbed the ninja next to him and ordered him to return to the village immediately to report the news and request urgent support from the higher-ups.

"Tell the elders that reinforcements should arrive as quickly as possible, and with the strongest possible numbers. Ideally, they should request Lord Monzaemon to come and provide support; the enemy's strength is beyond my comprehension!!"
