Chapter 24 Loess!
Uchiha启's words were arrogant; he knew very well that his words were meant to boost morale and intimidate the opponent.
The Iwa Ninja who died by Uchiha启's hand was actually quite strong, but even a powerful Ninja would be afraid of a sneak attack.
Even a powerful Ninja like Uchiha Madara had the dark history of being stabbed through the heart, let alone this guy in front of him, whose name Uchiha启 didn't even know.
Uchiha启 already possessed an exceptionally skilled Body Flicker Technique, and on top of that, this guy's attention was drawn by Kakashi.
Suddenly, several Konoha Ninja appeared, instantly breaking his preconceived notions and causing him to not react in time; all these factors combined allowed Uchiha启 to deliver a fatal blow.
However, now that the opponent was prepared, things would be truly difficult for Uchiha启 and his companions.
But Uchiha启 wasn't that flustered; after all, he had the trump cards of the Mangekyo Sharingan and the ability to summon Minato Namikaze.
Although summoning Minato Namikaze only at the most critical moment was a bit of a gamble, Uchiha启 believed that if he really used it, he would definitely appear.
As for what constituted the most dangerous moment, that was up to Uchiha启's own judgment.
"As long as I use my power reasonably, worst case I'll summon Minato Namikaze in the end. I refuse to believe I can't deal with you all!"
Uchiha启 thought silently, while those Iwa Ninja had already begun their attack without any further nonsense.
Uchiha启 looked at the Iwa Ninja charging towards him without any fear, quickly pulling out several Kunai from his Ninja tool pouch, and skillfully threw them at the Iwa Ninja.
This Iwa Ninja seemed a bit dazed, directly colliding with Uchiha启's Kunai.
The next second, all the Kunai hit the Iwa Ninja, but Uchiha启 quickly jumped up instead.
Because that Iwa Ninja had already used the Earth Release: Earth Clone Jutsu, and this did not escape Uchiha启's Sharingan at all.
When all those Kunai pierced the Iwa Ninja, it immediately turned into a puddle of mud, but at some unknown point, the ground beneath Uchiha启's feet had already become a swamp!
Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld. Uchiha启 knew what this Ninjutsu was with just a glance; it wasn't the first time he had encountered such a Ninjutsu.
It was just that the Ninja performing this Ninjutsu seemed a bit unusual; seeing Uchiha启 leap high, he immediately formed hand signs again, and an earth dragon leaped out of the swamp!
Uchiha启 frowned, but he didn't take it too seriously.
Chakra quickly surged into his Sharingan, and Uchiha启 immediately saw through the entire process of the Ninjutsu's impact!
With a simple turn in mid-air, he easily dodged the jutsu, then he kicked off the giant dragon's body, using the force to completely escape the attack range of the jutsu.
The entire process was as graceful as a dragon ascending after emerging from water, the massive earth dragon completely serving as a magnificent prop for his performance.
Uchiha启 evaded all attacks with such ease and leisure, but Hyuga Aya and the others on the side appeared quite disheveled, having to roll and crawl to dodge the Ninjutsu while avoiding their own enemies, which left them covered in a lot of dust and water stains.
The Iwa Ninja performing the jutsu noticed that Uchiha启 seemed completely unaffected, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.
Facing an Uchiha Ninja alone was always like this, because your Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and even Genjutsu would all be seen through by him!
Even if the opponent was a Chunin or a kid whose strength had reached a certain level, no one dared to underestimate them, unless you had faster speed and a strong ability to resist Genjutsu, or a Ninjutsu that could deliver a decisive blow.
It was clear that this Iwa Ninja didn't think his speed was necessarily faster than this kid's, and simple Earth Release Ninjutsu didn't seem capable of dealing with this kid, unless he went all out.
This situation made the Iwa Ninja suddenly wary of this kid, and at the same time, he also developed some interest.
"Who are you?" the Iwa Ninja asked, "Why have I never heard of someone like you? Just joined the battlefield?"
"No, I've been on the battlefield for a while." Uchiha启 was also happy to exchange a few words with him; after all, he could recover a little bit of Chakra, so why not: "And who are you?"
"You don't know me?" The Iwa Ninja was also stunned for a moment, then said with a chuckle, "Alright, then I'll introduce myself properly, so you don't die without knowing who killed you."
At this point, the Iwa Ninja's gaze became extremely dangerous, and Uchiha启, through his Sharingan, could easily see that this guy's Chakra was so vast it was suffocating!
Who on earth was this guy?
Uchiha启 cursed inwardly, thinking, 'Could this bastard be the Tsuchikage in disguise? No, that's not right!'
Uchiha启 seemed to have realized something at this moment; although this guy was completely different from the short Tsuchikage, Uchiha启 seemed to have some impression of this Iwa Ninja.
"My name is..." Just as Uchiha启 was thinking in the dark, the Iwa Ninja suddenly burst out with incredible speed and threw a punch at Uchiha启: "Kitsuchi!"
"Damn it!" At this moment, Uchiha启 was basically certain who this bastard was.
This guy really was a bastard; Ōnoki was truly a living fossil, existing from the First Shinobi World War to the future Fourth Shinobi World War!
Such vitality was simply like a turtle, and his son Kitsuchi should not be very old at this time; Uchiha启 remembered that he was about forty years old during the Fourth Shinobi World War.
So, by conversion, Kitsuchi should be in his twenties or thirties at this time, which perfectly matched the guy in front of him!
With a quick dodge, Uchiha启 immediately avoided this guy's punch, but the terrifying force of the punch directly shattered the ground.
If Uchiha启 hadn't jumped quickly, he probably would have said goodbye to this world right then, but Kitsuchi had no intention of letting Uchiha启 go.
Missing one strike, he immediately stuck to Uchiha启 and attacked again, and his attacks completely disregarded Chakra consumption, clearly intending to wear Uchiha启 down until he ran out of Chakra, even if he couldn't kill him.
It must be said that this fighting style was truly a bane for Uchiha启; Uchiha启's Chakra simply couldn't contend with this guy, and Uchiha启 also didn't have the time to waste with him!
With the constant feedback of Shadow Clones disappearing elsewhere, Uchiha启 knew without thinking that the Iwa Ninja in other places must have also reacted.
They only needed to confirm it slightly through the Summoning Technique, and soon they would be able to determine which area was their true choice for a breakthrough.
By then, even if Uchiha启 summoned Minato Namikaze, it probably wouldn't be much help, would it?
Thinking of this, Uchiha启's hand quietly reached for the Kunai.
But just then, a sound like a thousand Chidori chirping suddenly came from behind Uchiha启.
