"Aghh!! It hurts so much..."
The entire ground was filled with a massive crater. A shockwave from Tyrant's large bear paw instantly sent everyone from the Uchiha Clan flying leaving the group of Ninjas scattered on the ground, groaning in pain. All around them, there was a strong sense of dizziness from the aftermath of the powerful explosion.
'Is this the rumored puppet?!
So powerful... When did he summon it?!'
Seeing Tyrant, summoned by Yu at some point, instantly take down all the Uchiha Ninjas around him, Shisui, standing in place, widened his eyes with his blood-red Sharingan, and the pitch-black three tomoe crazily spun within.
"Damn guy..."
"Don't underestimate the Uchiha Clan Ninjas!!"
Witnessing Yu in front of them being so formidable, taking down everyone with just a glance, and even effortlessly dispatching the surrounding Uchiha Ninjas without moving, Uchiha Fuma, struggling to come down from the nearby wall, gritted his teeth and quickly formed hand seals. The signature Fire Release Ninjutsu of the Uchiha Clan was about to be unleashed.
!
"Bang!!"
The entire wall shook violently. Uchiha Fuma's hand seals had barely reached halfway, and he was forcefully pressed against the wall. Yu's formidable figure, somehow already standing in front of him, hands inserted in his pockets, stared at him. Behind Yu stood another puppet figure draped in a black cloak, its hands' index and middle fingers intertwined, crossing in front of its body.
A massive transparent barrier, like glass, was released, pressing him against the wall like an ugly fly.
"Ugh..."
The Fire Release Ninjutsu, just halfway through its execution, was suddenly suppressed against the wall by Michael using a Protective Barrier. Uchiha Fuma's face twisted and reddened, in intense pain. The Fire Release Chakra, already raised to his throat, continued to burn his internal organs.
"Clan, Clan... always talking about the Clan..."
"Don't forget that your current identity is still a ninja of Konoha..."
Standing in front of Uchiha Fuma, Yu gazed at the pain-twisted face before him through the enormous transparent Protective Barrier. Yu's calm and indifferent gaze seemed to regard a struggling ant.
"Moreover, I think it's necessary to teach you how to speak to stronger ninjas like me..."
"For instance, right now, with a slight movement of my finger, this Protective Barrier will turn you into a puddle of flesh."
Speaking calmly, with Uchiha Fuma's fearful gaze, Yu gently extended his right hand.
As he said, with just a slight movement of his finger, Michael, manipulated by Parasitic Threads, would immediately exert force to flatten Uchiha Fuma.
Swish!!
At that moment, a gust of wind blew by.
Yu felt a sudden tightness around his wrist, and Shisui had somehow appeared beside him, grabbing his wrist.
"Stop, Yu."
"This time, it was Fuma and the others who were rude first. I apologize on their behalf."
Shisui pair of blood-red three tomoe Sharingan firmly locked onto Yu's cold amber eyes in front of him, Shisui spoke in a deep voice, caught between friends and fellow clan members, evidently in a difficult situation.
"Wind Body Flicker, huh..."
Indeed, it's Shisui's Body Flicker...
Watching Shisui appear beside him in an instant, grabbing his wrist, Yu's gaze slightly narrowed. Such speed even caught him off guard, not triggering his Observation Haki.
According to information displayed in a game from a past life called "Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm," the Body Flicker Jutsu that Uchiha Shisui was renowned for has two types. In addition to the regular Taijutsu Body Flicker, there is another one, the Wind Release Body Flicker Jutsu that Shisui is currently using, requiring hand seals to perform. Not only is its speed unmatched, but it can also leave a tangible afterimage in place, making it incredibly powerful.
"This kind of conversation sounds familiar..."
Hearing Shisui's somewhat familiar words, Yu felt as if time had returned to the moment they first met. A subtle smile curled up at the corners of his mouth.
"Considering Shisui's presence today, I'll let you off the hook for now."
Immediately, with a disdainful look at the fearful Uchiha Fuma before him, Yu spoke, "But next time, don't let me catch sight of you again. Otherwise, you won't be as lucky as today."
Air Door!!
As soon as he finished speaking, a round-shaped air door opened beside Yu, and with Tyrant and Michael, he stepped into the mysterious emerald-green space, disappearing from view.
'This is... Space-Time Ninjutsu?!'
Seeing Yu vanish into the mysterious space before him, Shisui's pupils suddenly contracted.
Now, not only the Uchiha Ninjas lying on the ground around him but even Shisui himself was completely shocked, standing there in a daze.
"No wonder he's Yu... truly the opponent fate has chosen for me."
"However, I won't easily admit defeat, relying on these cursed eyes... I can beat him!"
After coming to his senses and looking at the now calm emptiness before him, Shisui's crimson eyes suddenly burst with a strong aura. The pitch-black three tomoe even seemed to have a tendency to gather and merge...
...
Heading to the Land of Water, huh...
Perfect timing. I might as well see if I can encounter Haku and Kimimaro on the way...
In the next instant, Yu, inside the peaceful residence he had acquired in the center of Konoha, opened a round air door out of thin air. As Yu stepped out from the alternate space, he raised the corners of his mouth in a slight smile. Unexpectedly, he was going on a mission with Shisui this time.
As for Haku and Kimimaro. One's a descendant of the Yuki Clan and has the Kekkei Genkai Ice Release from the Land of Water, and the other, the last ninja of the Kaguya Clan with the Kekkei Genkai Shikotsumyaku that allows the control and generation of bones.
Both had similarly tragic fates, feeling unneeded by the world, experiencing confusion about their existence, and awakening their Kekkei Genkai powers at a very young age.
These two were among the most outstanding prodigy ninjas in the Naruto world. Even though Yu currently possessed numerous Devil Puppets and was not lacking in combat strength, if he could find and nurture the potential within Haku and Kimimaro, he believed they would become his most outstanding subordinates in the future.
Both were unforgettable characters in the early stages of the Naruto series for countless readers. Since Yu had already crossed over into this world, if he couldn't change the tragic destinies of these two, it would undoubtedly be a regret.
Especially Kaguya Kimimaro, the Kekkei Genkai of Shikotsumyaku and the physical features, bear too much resemblance to Otsutsuki Kaguya, the Chakra progenitor of this world.
When the time comes, whether to recruit them as subordinates or turn them into human puppets, Yu will undoubtedly explore the connections between Kimimaro and Otsutsuki Kaguya, unraveling the mysteries of his ancestry and bloodline.
It is currently the 51st year of Konoha, with Haku being around six years old and Kimimaro around five. Neither has likely encountered Momochi Zabuza or Orochimaru yet, making this journey to the Land of Water an optimal opportunity.
'It seems like this trip to the Land of Water...
Shouldn't be too dull, after all...'
With these thoughts in mind, Yu looked out the window at the evening sky over Konoha, his thoughts drifting farther away.
