"We can't... we can't escape..."
"Damn it, we're going to die here!"
"To die with such an ending, I am so unwilling, you bastards of Hidden Cloud Village!"
"This direction, it shouldn't affect the Uchiha Clan's compound, right...?"
Although they had known some information about the Tailed Beasts for a long time, it was only when they truly faced the attack of a Tailed Beast Ball that Uchiha Fugaku and the others realized their own weakness.
In front of this power, full of destructive aura, they couldn't even escape.
No matter how hard they tried, under such absolute power, they would all be reduced to dust!
The Tailed Beast Ball arrived in the blink of an eye. Just as Uchiha Fugaku and the others closed their eyes, waiting for death, a deep voice rang out.
"Kamui!"
Uchiha Fugaku and the others suddenly opened their eyes, and then saw space seemingly twisting like a whirlpool.
The Tailed Beast Ball, which seemed capable of annihilating everything, disappeared in an instant, without causing a single ripple.
Everything happened in an instant. Uchiha Fugaku and the others gasped for breath.
The joy of surviving the calamity made them lose all their strength, and they all collapsed to the ground.
"These two guys are really troublesome..."
Uchiha Yuzuru looked at Ay, who had turned into a streak of lightning and carried Killer Bee away, but there was no hint of disappointment on his face.
Although he had an absolute advantage in the previous confrontation, truly killing Ay and Killer Bee would not be a particularly easy task.
After all, he didn't want to go blind a few days after Awakening his Mangekyo, like Uchiha Sasuke in the original story.
Their panicked retreat was the best outcome for now.
"Yuzuru, how did you do that attack just now?"
Uchiha Fugaku walked up to Uchiha Yuzuru and asked, incredulously.
"Transfer," Uchiha Yuzuru said calmly, "I just used the power of my Mangekyo Sharingan to transfer that Tailed Beast Ball."
Hiss!!!
Uchiha Fugaku and the others all gasped, their mouths wide open in shock.
They knew that Uchiha Yuzuru's Mangekyo Sharingan possessed the ability to transfer objects; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to leave Konoha so smoothly.
But... to be able to transfer even something like a Tailed Beast Ball, that was simply too overbearing, wasn't it?
Uchiha Fugaku and the others felt a surge of excitement in their hearts, and their gazes towards Uchiha Yuzuru were filled with anticipation.
"Yuzuru, can you tell us how to Awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan?"
"If our Uchiha Clan had a few more pairs of such eyes, even dominating the entire Ninja World wouldn't be a difficult task, would it?"
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yuzuru replied, "In most cases, Awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan requires extremely high talent and unremitting Cultivation."
"Adding to that a mental impact that ordinary people can hardly endure, only then is there a chance to obtain this power."
"However, even after Awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan, most people would find it difficult to possess the kind of power I have now."
"Why?" Uchiha Fugaku asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Power gained through effort and step-by-step Cultivation is ultimately difficult to make perfect."
Uchiha Yuzuru explained.
The reason he possessed such strong combat power now was because, thanks to the System's rewards, he had at least the level of a Kage-level expert in all aspects.
Coupled with the power of his Awakened Mangekyo Sharingan, his strength underwent a qualitative change.
An ordinary Uchiha, even if he Awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, couldn't possibly become as strong as him.
Uchiha Fugaku was a bit unconvinced and said, "Then what about you?"
"I am different from you," Uchiha Yuzuru smiled, "I am the man destined to be crowned king; nothing I do is strange."
"Alright, the clan members must be worried. You all go back first."
"Aren't you going back?"
Uchiha Yuzuru said calmly, "The matter isn't over yet. I'm going to Hidden Cloud Village myself!"
This time he defeated Ay and Killer Bee, but given the reckless nature of the Kumogakure people, it was inevitable that they would send more people.
Instead of constantly wasting his ocular power on such matters, it would be better to settle it once and for all and personally meet the Third Raikage.
— — — —
"Third Raikage-sama, Ay and Killer Bee-sama have returned!"
Upon hearing this, the Third Raikage laughed, "Has the matter been handled? Let them in."
Before long, the office door was pushed open, and the Third Raikage's smile froze on his face.
His son's face was covered in dust, and Killer Bee's expression was uncharacteristically dejected.
Seeing this, the Third Raikage said in a deep voice, "Ay, what happened?"
Ay lowered his head, a hint of shame in his tone: "Father, our mission failed. The Yeyue Guard, they all died. Only Killer Bee and I escaped back."
The Third Raikage's expression changed, and he couldn't help but ask, "Was it an ambush?"
"No," Ay clenched his fists tightly, "There's a guy from the Uchiha Clan named Uchiha Yuzuru. He defeated me and Bee."
"If Eight-Tails hadn't released a Tailed Beast Ball, we might not have made it back."
Just thinking of that possibility made Ay feel extremely scared.
If he died, so be it, but if the Eight-Tails were captured by those from the Uchiha Clan, then he would be a sinner of Hidden Cloud Village.
The Third Raikage was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.
He knew Ay and Killer Bee's strength all too well.
Even he would find it difficult to fend off their combined attack. This was why he felt confident allowing Ay and Killer Bee to leave Hidden Cloud Village with only a few Jonin.
But now... Ay actually said that someone had defeated him and Killer Bee!
How was this possible?!
"Ay, shouldn't the strongest Ninja of the Uchiha Clan be Uchiha Fugaku?"
"Who is Uchiha Yuzuru?"
Hearing the Third Raikage's question, Ay shook his head: "I'm not sure either, but according to Eight-Tails' description, the person named Uchiha Yuzuru possesses the legendary Mangekyo Sharingan."
"In front of those eyes, even Eight-Tails had no desire to fight against him at all."
"Mangekyo Sharingan?" The Third Raikage's eyes narrowed.
As a Raikage, although he hadn't experienced the era ruled by Uchiha Madara, he had read many records about the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Uchiha Madara, back then, had stirred up a storm of blood and gore in the Ninja World with those eyes.
Aside from Senju Hashirama's Wood Release, no one could contend with him.
To this day, had such eyes appeared again?
As soon as he thought of this, the Third Raikage felt a surge of excitement.
"Father, I have disappointed you."
Looking at Ay, who was usually proud and arrogant, now looking so dejected, the Third Raikage suddenly punched him in the face, sending him flying.
"Father?"
"Hmph!" The Third Raikage snorted coldly, angrily saying, "Just a small setback has made you like this?"
"What do you think the Mangekyo Sharingan is? It's an existence that even I can't help but want to fight!"
"Losing to a strong individual with the Mangekyo Sharingan isn't terrible; losing the courage to fight again is the most pathetic."
"Ay, take this failure as motivation to become stronger. Don't let me look down on you."
Ay clenched his fists and stood up, shouting, "Father, I will. One day, I will defeat Uchiha Yuzuru and become the strongest Ninja in the world!"
"Very good! You and Bee go rest first. Leave the rest to me."
After Ay and Killer Bee left, the Third Raikage looked out the window with fervent eyes.
The Uchiha Clan truly deserved to be the strongest Ninja clan. Their Hidden Cloud Village must obtain such a Bloodline Limit.
At all costs!
