Except for that unfamiliar face, the other two were Sarutobi Asuma and Yūhi Kurenai.
Uchiha Yasuo pointed at Sarutobi Asuma and burst into loud laughter. "Hahaha… Are you here to avenge your nephew?"
"Sarutobi Hiruzen lost a grandson and still hasn't learned his lesson—do you want to lose a son too?"
"Uchiha Yasuo, so you really aren't dead!" Asuma's face turned gloomy, killing intent overflowing from his eyes. "You're truly an animal! Konohamaru is still just a child!"
"Child?" Uchiha Yasuo shouted like a madman. "Your family's child counts as a child, but the Uchiha's children don't, is that it?"
"Who was it that gave the order to exterminate the Uchiha?"
"Stop pretending to be a damn good guy!"
"If we're talking about animals, your old man is an old animal, and you're a little animal!"
Asuma was cursed at until he was covered in dog's blood, yet he couldn't talk back.
He wasn't quite the same as his father Sarutobi Hiruzen; he was still young, his face wasn't that thick yet, and he couldn't speak shameless words that turned black into white.
Originally, the Uchiha extermination had been carried out in extreme secrecy. All ninja clans who knew anything kept their mouths shut, avoiding it like a taboo.
The village tossed the blame onto Itachi, and most people in the village stupidly believed it.
But because of Uchiha Yasuo's commotion, with so many people dying in the village, the original gag order began to lose effectiveness.
Many ninja lived by gathering intelligence to begin with; investigating information had already become instinct. Encountering something unexpected, they naturally wanted to understand the cause and effect.
With this going back and forth, anyone in the village who had even slightly reliable information basically knew the truth of the Uchiha extermination.
At this point, controversy rose within the village.
Especially among the ninja clans who had lost people, there were quite a few criticisms toward the village's actions.
"All right, Asuma. He's already a rogue ninja. There's no need to argue anything with him—just move!" Yūhi Kurenai quickly stepped in to mediate.
Asuma silently fitted the Chakra Blades onto his knuckle knives, lowered his head, and charged forward, forming hand seals rapidly.
"Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning!"
Gray-white smoke spewed out from between Asuma's teeth; these high-temperature particles rapidly expanded into a cloud in the air, with faint flames flickering inside it, sweeping toward Uchiha Yasuo with great force.
The other two people also launched attacks at the same time from both sides.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death!"
A cluster of large trees broke through the ground beneath their feet, and thick vines rapidly grew, winding upward along Uchiha Yasuo's legs. The gray mist and flames from both sides also came down toward him at the same time.
Uchiha Yasuo, however, was not flustered; he only burst into loud laughter.
"Hahaha…"
"Who gave you the courage to use genjutsu in front of an Uchiha?"
"Aren't those red eyes the Sharingan?"
With a single thought, that so-called large tree instantly vanished like smoke, revealing Yūhi Kurenai's figure.
Uchiha Yasuo did not care about Yūhi Kurenai's little trick at all. Susanoo rose from the ground and covered his body.
The Fire Release attacks on both sides struck heavily against Susanoo.
The flames ignited the smoke, and a violent explosion immediately occurred. Flames shot into the sky, smoke spread everywhere, and the shockwave rolled in all directions.
Even the continuous rainfall evaporated into mist within that explosion. The field of vision became foggy, and visibility dropped sharply.
But the energy giant did not even sway; it stood there like a mountain, unmoving.
"Even the Ino–Shika–Chō are already lying here dead. Who gave you the confidence to think the three of you could come here for revenge?"
Uchiha Yasuo loudly mocked them, swinging his staff and smashing it heavily toward Asuma.
But Asuma did not dodge. Instead, he placed one palm upright before his chest, while the other hand pressed downward at his waist in a strange posture.
"Welcoming Approach: Thousand-Armed Murder!"
A burst of golden light flashed. Behind Asuma, a statue shaped like a Thousand-Armed Kannon suddenly appeared. Although one size smaller than Susanoo, it was actually an energy giant as well.
The statue brought both hands together above its head, and with a loud "clang," it forcibly caught Susanoo's attack head-on.
Immediately after, the statue gripped with both hands and seized Susanoo's staff, holding it tightly without letting go.
"Now!"
Asuma shouted loudly. The ground beneath Uchiha Yasuo suddenly bulged upward, and that unfamiliar ninja burst out from beneath it. A flash of cold light swept through his hand as a short blade sliced toward Uchiha Yasuo.
The strike was like lightning—fast and fierce. That person was actually an elite selected blade user.
After several large battles, both sides already knew that the weakness of this half-body Susanoo was at the hollow space in the abdomen.
Anyone who could not break through Susanoo's defense would almost always choose to use Earth Release to break through from this spot.
Uchiha Yasuo was also happy to set traps here and finish enemies with the fastest speed.
Seeing that someone had fallen into the pit again this time, Uchiha Yasuo could not help curling his lips into a smile.
He had already seen those who charged in to die, those who self-detonated, and those who used poison. This time, he wanted to see what trick they could come up with.
Could it be the Dead Demon Consuming Seal?
He cautiously stayed vigilant. When he lowered his head to look, he saw that although this person was swinging a blade to attack, he was slightly lowering his head and observing him only with the corner of his eye, not daring to meet his gaze. From that alone, it was clear the person was guarding against his genjutsu.
However, Sharingan genjutsu was not such an inconvenient thing that required eye contact with someone.
He drew his short blade and swung it forward. It seemed like he was about to block, but the blade shifted slightly, and in the mirror-like reflection, their eyes met.
The patterns of the Mangekyō turned faintly in his eyes, and a genjutsu silently fell upon the other person.
Although it was not a Mangekyō pupil technique, Sharingan genjutsu was not something just anyone could break!
That person's movements instantly froze, standing there in a daze without moving.
"Hahaha… go die!" Uchiha Yasuo laughed loudly. The short blade fell, about to cut this guy down in one strike.
But who would have known—when the blade landed, poof, a burst of white smoke rose up, and a wooden log was split in two. The person had disappeared.
Wasn't he caught in the genjutsu?
How could he possibly use Substitution Technique?
How did he break free from the genjutsu so quickly?
Uchiha Yasuo was stunned for an instant, then suddenly felt bursts of lightning flash behind him, accompanied by a chirping sound like birds crying. A strong gust of wind rushed at him.
Before the attack even reached him, the waves of electricity already caused his body to go slightly numb.
Chidori!
The name leapt fiercely into Uchiha Yasuo's mind. He urgently dashed forward out of Susanoo's position, while swinging his short blade backward with force.
With a sharp clang, the two short blades collided. But the flickering lightning spread up along the blades and, in an instant, covered Uchiha Yasuo's entire body.
But within that instant of lightning and fire, Uchiha Yasuo had already seen clearly.
The shinobi opposite him had released the previous Transformation Technique, returning to his original appearance and revealing a face extremely familiar to Uchiha Yasuo.
A head of short white hair, and a single bright-red Sharingan with three tomoe.
"Kakashi!" Uchiha Yasuo roared.
