"Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!"

A gigantic wave of flames rushed towards them, incredibly hot and a blazing red, scorching the sky crimson. Wuchen, beyond the flames, was completely dyed deep red, like a god of fire. The overwhelming force, like a sandstorm, covered the sky and earth, creating a magnificent and spectacular scene.

"What kind of monster is this guy? If I remember correctly, 'Great Fire Annihilation' should be an A-rank ninjutsu. This scale... how is it almost like an S-rank ninjutsu?"

"Who the hell knows! Stop chattering and resist together!"

The four Iwagakure Jonin looked speechlessly at the surging fire wave. A fire wave with a diameter of over ten meters—this was not something an A-rank ninjutsu could achieve. Especially since the opponent was just a little brat. Annoying as it was, they all rushed forward and began to form hand seals.

"Water Style: Violent Water Collision!"

"Water Style: Violent Water Collision!"

The four Jonin each used the B-rank "Violent Water Collision" to finally resist the approaching "Great Fire Annihilation." The two opposing forces collided and intertwined, immediately raising a vast amount of white mist into the sky.

Swoosh!!!

Through the dense steam, seeing the front suddenly emit a golden radiance, the four Sand ninjas' faces immediately darkened. Their heads were covered in black lines, and countless black crows "caw-cawed" in the sky.

"That kid is using that abnormal speed again! Damn it, does he know he's cheating?"

The Sand Village ninjas were practically spitting blood. If they didn't look at the terrifying afterimages Wuchen left in the air, almost everyone would have thought it was a space-time ninjutsu. The moment they caught sight of Wuchen, it was always less than a blink of an eye, and he would appear before them, no matter how far the distance. And they themselves wouldn't even have time to form hand seals... From the very beginning, this was destined to be an uneven battle.

"You'd all be better off obediently offering your necks for execution. That way, I can still leave you with intact bodies, and your families will thank me for my immense grace when they collect your remains..."

As the Sand ninjas cursed inwardly, almost frenziedly complaining, Wuchen appeared beside them like a ghost. This time, however, his methods were much more "harmonious."

"Laser!"

Light converged at his fingertip, and then a straight ray erupted, directly piercing through the bodies of two Sand ninjas in succession.

"Uh, excuse me, I originally intended to leave you with intact bodies, but I unexpectedly put a hole in your bodies. My sincerest apologies, I promise it really wasn't intentional!"

Scratching his head awkwardly, Wuchen claimed innocence. Fortunately, the two ninjas who had been disemboweled by Wuchen closed their eyes in time. I wonder if, upon hearing Wuchen's words, they would be so enraged as to return from hell and strangle Wuchen? But that seemed unlikely. After all, ninjas were butchers covered in blood; going to heaven was impossible. Only hell awaited them!

The last two Sand ninjas looked furiously at Wuchen, who was full of apologies. Ten thousand grass-mud horses stampeded through their sanity. Without forming hand seals, they charged directly at Wuchen. It looked like a melee attack. What, you say ninjas need to form hand seals? Form a damn hammer! What a joke! I need several seconds to form hand seals, and he'll be gone to the horizon in a blink of an eye! Maybe I'll be dismembered before I even finish forming my seals!

"Quite clever, actually." Seeing the two charge, Wuchen nodded in approval. Under his absolute speed, unless it was certain special ninjutsu, it was absolutely impossible to harm him. Ordinary ninjutsu was meaningless at the speed of light. Direct close combat might seem foolish, but it was also one of the only methods they could currently reach him with. After fighting for a long time, their ninjutsu hadn't even landed on Wuchen. Only close combat was a way out, but they were destined for disappointment!

"Your brains may be quick, but unfortunately, your opponent is I, Uchiha Wuchen!!!"

With that, a blinding light suddenly flared from Wuchen's body. The two Sand ninjas were slightly startled, thinking Wuchen was about to activate his light speed again, and charged at Wuchen even faster.

"Utterly foolish! Do you think light is only good for speed? You're so naive that I thought you two were idiots!"

A sneer tugged at his lips. The light emanating from Wuchen's body grew even more intense. Due to the blinding light, even his body's silhouette couldn't be clearly seen, only a rectangular glowing object.

"Ahhh!"

"Damn it, it's so hot!"

The two Sand Jonin screamed only once, then were directly consumed. The limbs that first touched Wuchen were instantly melted! Next, Wuchen's body, or rather, the rectangular object, trembled slightly, its range instantly expanding, completely consuming both of them, leaving not a trace of their bodies.

"Pathetic insects. It seems everything is taken care of. I should hurry and meet up with Jiraiya."

After a few breaths, all the light emanating from Wuchen's body receded. Seeing no corpses on the ground, he had merely instantly raised the temperature of the light to its extreme. Although the temperature wasn't extremely high, the temperature required to melt a human body wasn't that high either, relatively speaking.

"That damned brat! You're the mastermind behind ambushing this supply unit, aren't you?! Die, you bastard!"

As Wuchen was about to turn and leave, an earth-shattering roar, like muffled thunder, exploded in the sky. The furious tone carried nine parts killing intent and one part bone-chilling hatred.

"Magnet Release: Gold Dust Imperial Funeral!"

Countless grains of sand came from behind him. The difference was that these sands were sparkling, and one could clearly see other metallic substances contained within them.
