"Hmph!"
"Konoha Ninja are nothing but empty names."
"How can such a Village enjoy the richest resources in the Ninja World?"
"Sooner or later, our Hidden Cloud Village will become the strongest Ninja Village in the Ninja World!"
Ay, his body wreathed in electric arcs, slammed the Root Ninja's corpse heavily to the ground.
What good were those Konoha Ninja? They weren't even a challenge for him.
A Yeyue Guard, following behind Ay, reminded him, "Lord Ay, one just escaped. Should we pursue him?"
Ay said disdainfully, "Don't bother. If those Konoha fellows dare to cause trouble, just kill them all."
Seeing this, the Yeyue Guard did not say anything more.
Although they were only eight people on this outing, besides Ay and Killer Bee, the other six all possessed the strength of Jonin.
With such a configuration, there was indeed nothing to fear.
"By the way, the Uchiha Clan Estate is not far ahead. What should we do?"
"If they are willing to hand over some children voluntarily, that would be ideal. If not…"
Ay chuckled, "Then we'll just take them by force!"
If he had to face Konoha's powerhouses like Orochimaru, Jiraiya, or Sakumo Hatake, he might have hesitated.
But the so-called Uchiha? Besides Uchiha Fugaku, known as the "Evil Eye," what other Ninja could even be named?
He wanted to see how the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan would fare against his Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
— — — —
Ay and his group had no intention of concealing their tracks, so they were easily discovered by the Uchiha clansmen responsible for reconnaissance.
When they were still some distance from the Uchiha Clan Estate, Uchiha Yuzuru had already led his people to block their path.
Seeing Ay and Killer Bee in person for the first time, Uchiha Yuzuru could directly feel their powerful physiques.
Their bulging muscles were filled with a sense of powerful beauty.
Just standing there, they already exuded an extremely strong oppressive aura.
"Uchiha Ninja, we are giving you a chance now to follow Lord Ay back to our Hidden Cloud Village to live."
Their rude attitude was exactly the same as the Sand Ninja's back then.
Uchiha Yuzuru had already expected this.
After all, not everyone had personally experienced the god-like power of the Uchiha Clan like Ōnoki.
To earn respect, one must first display sufficiently strong power.
Seeing Uchiha Yuzuru's silence, a Yeyue Guard coldly said, "I advise you to be sensible, or we will have to resort to force."
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku stepped forward, his face cold, and said, "Then let me see if your so-called force is just a joke."
"Bee, you go."
"..."
"Bee!"
Bang!
Killer Bee, who was holding a notebook and pencil, recording inspiration, only snapped back to reality after being punched in the head by Ay.
He nodded distractedly and walked out of the formation with his head down.
The next second, he suddenly threw the pencil in his hand.
The pencil, imbued with Lightning Release Chakra, shot towards Uchiha Fugaku's heart at an extremely high speed.
His Three-Tomoe Sharingan instantly activated, and Uchiha Fugaku drew his long blade and slashed out.
Clang!
The pencil was split in half.
Seeing this, Killer Bee's expression also became serious.
As expected of the Sharingan, renowned throughout the Ninja World.
At such high speed, could it still accurately track the pencil's trajectory?
Killer Bee put away his notebook, drew the long blade from his back, and charged directly at Uchiha Fugaku.
"Close-quarters combat?"
"I'm really being underestimated."
Seeing Killer Bee charging forward, Uchiha Fugaku snorted coldly and likewise gripped his long blade, rushing forward.
The two instantly engaged in battle.
"Lariat!"
Killer Bee utilized his seven blades to their utmost, combining offense and defense, simultaneously thrusting at various vital points on Uchiha Fugaku's body.
Uchiha Fugaku was startled, his pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan spinning rapidly.
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
The sound of clashing blades continuously rang out, and Uchiha Fugaku's clothes were cut with numerous gashes.
Uchiha Fugaku's expression was grave.
He couldn't understand why, in a blade clash, he had clearly used his Sharingan to cast genjutsu, yet the Ninja in front of him seemed completely unaffected.
After finding an opportunity to create distance, Uchiha Fugaku quickly formed hand signs.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
As Uchiha Fugaku's words fell, a huge, high-temperature fireball instantly obscured everything in front of him.
Immediately after, Uchiha Fugaku pulled out a Seal scroll, instantly summoning countless shuriken and several giant Fūma Shuriken.
"Go!"
All the shuriken rushed into the flames in an instant, with sharp steel wires attached, twisting from the outside in towards the center of the flames.
Seeing this, all the Uchiha clansmen who had come out with Uchiha Yuzuru showed excited expressions.
They won!
Ay and the Yeyue Guard, however, remained unmoved, simply watching the battlefield in front of them silently.
When the flames dissipated, the expected scene of blood flowing everywhere did not appear.
A giant octopus tail firmly protected Killer Bee's body, blocking all of Uchiha Fugaku's attacks.
"This is..."
"A Tailed Beast?!"
Except for Uchiha Yuzuru, all the Uchiha clansmen gaped in shock.
Shouldn't Tailed Beasts be strategic resources?
How could one appear here?
And... even though he used the Tailed Beast's power, why didn't this Hidden Cloud Village Jinchuriki go berserk?
"With the Eight-Tails, I shine on the battlefield, I anticipated this situation, Killer Bee is the pride of Hidden Cloud Village, attacks that tickle only make me smile."
"You fools, you idiots!"
Killer Bee danced and gesticulated, performing an impromptu rap, occasionally giving Uchiha Fugaku the middle finger.
Uchiha Fugaku's face was grim, but he did not attack rashly.
A Jinchuriki who could freely use the Tailed Beast's power wasn't that easy to deal with... "If this is all you've got, then you'd better just end this farce."
Ay stepped forward, activating his Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
Blue electric arcs continuously flashed, and his figure instantly vanished.
Even with his Three-Tomoe Sharingan, Uchiha Fugaku could only barely catch a glimpse of Ay's figure.
Looking at the figure charging like lightning, Uchiha Fugaku swung his long blade to attack.
However, in just a moment, his long blade was knocked away.
Just as the fist, wreathed in lightning, was about to hit Uchiha Fugaku's head, a pitch-black skeletal giant hand slapped Ay away.
Uchiha Yuzuru stood with his arms crossed, his body covered by a layer of pitch-black skeleton that continuously emitted an evil, ominous aura.
"Your strength has piqued my interest."
"Now, dance hard and entertain me."
