Uchiha Style

As soon as he finished speaking, Kakashi gritted his teeth, his face hardened, and he flew over, picked up the unconscious Sand Ninja, and turned to run away!

Maki frowned but did not stop him, his gaze fixed on Uchiha Mo's face.

"Blood Ninja? I know you. The strongest genius of the Uchiha clan since the founding of Konoha."

Uchiha Mo never attended a ninja academy; in his view, it was a complete waste of time. His abilities needed the baptism of blood to grow rapidly.

So, starting from the age of five, he persistently pestered his Uchiha seniors to carry out missions together, which is how he reached the level of a Jonin at the young age of ten. Even Kakashi, who was the same age, was no match for him.

The title "Blood Ninja" comes from his ruthless approach to missions, where he leaves no survivors regardless of the opponent's strength or identity. Although Uchiha Mo doesn't care about others' opinions, this title has certainly made him famous in the current ninja world.

Uchiha Mo did not respond. He met Maki's gaze expressionlessly, calculating in his mind how to cut his throat.

Maki is strong, but battles between ninjas are not just a simple clash of raw strength; intelligence and counter-relationships are equally important.

After being amplified by Green Boy's abilities, Uchiha Mo's Fire Release not only possessed some characteristics of natural flames, but its power was also astonishing. Combined with the Fire Release's effectiveness against Wind Release and his almost superhuman control, Maki's seemingly invincible Wind Blade posed little threat to him. Furthermore, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Maki's abilities were public knowledge to Uchiha Mo.

This is also what Uchiha Mo relies on.

Kakashi's footsteps faded into the distance, and when they disappeared without a trace, Mo suddenly took a step forward and launched the first attack!

As the long sword swept across, Maki immediately crouched down and approached Uchiha Mo's chest from under the blade, simultaneously thrusting the kunai in his hand toward his heart.

However, Mo's wrist deftly twisted in mid-air, changing from a regular grip to a reverse grip, and thrust the tip of the knife toward Maki's back.

"Ding!"

  Updates take time and effort, so please remember to share 101kanshu.com.

Sparks flew from the blade, and a few drops of cold sweat trickled down Maki's forehead. If he hadn't reacted quickly and grabbed the kunai back to shield his back in time, he would probably be a corpse by now.

"Is this the Uchiha-style swordsmanship? Unlike the brat Sakumo, this kid is more unpredictable and more ruthless."

Uchiha Mo used his ninja sword to firmly pin Baki down, then raised his knee and struck him in the head.

Maki's pupils contracted, and he quickly raised his other hand to shield himself.

"Bang!"

The knee struck the arm with a dull thud, and he could no longer move an inch. Although leg strength is generally much greater than arm strength, Mo was only ten years old and his body was still developing, while Maki was already a ninja at his peak. There was a significant difference in their strength, and the reason the ninja sword could suppress Maki was due to the advantage of the weapon and Maki's unsuitable posture for exerting force.

However, Mo seemed to have anticipated this, and before the knee strike even arrived, he swung out his other fist.

"Bang!"

The fist slammed into Maki's cheek, sending his entire body flying through the air along with a few broken teeth!

Uchiha Mo gave Maki no chance to catch his breath. Holding the ninja sword in his right hand, he turned his left hand and four smooth shuriken instantly appeared between his fingers. With a sudden flick of his arm, the four shuriken shot out towards Maki, who had just landed!

"Swish swish swish swish!"

Four shuriken traced arcs in the air, attacking from different directions.

"You wretched brat!"

Maki braced himself with one hand and quickly stood up. Just as he was about to use a kunai to knock the shuriken away, his pupils suddenly dilated as he noticed the silk thread tied to the back of the shuriken.

His rich combat experience immediately formed a picture in his mind: after the shuriken was knocked away, Uchiha Mo immediately used the steel wire to pull it back and then tied it to the spot. Finally, he used the steel wire to conduct fire jutsu to end the battle.

"This is... Sharingan Windmill Technique - Third Sword! That damned Uchiha brat, how dare he pull such a trick!"

Maki's heart skipped a beat, and he paused for a moment, feeling a chill run down his spine.

But in that instant, the first shuriken was already at his face.

Maki gritted his teeth and managed to dodge to the side, but a cut appeared on his cheek. Maki didn't have time to care about it. He abandoned the kunai and began to form hand seals at lightning speed!

Wu-Chen-Hands clasped together.

"Wind Release: Gale Palm!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a fierce gust of wind erupted as Maki clasped his hands together, blowing away all the shuriken flying in the sky!

Wind Release: Gale Palm, a C-rank Wind Release ninjutsu, is considered an entry-level Wind Release ninjutsu. Its power is quite limited, but it has the advantage of requiring few hand seals and being quick to activate, making it one of the best choices for Maki in the current situation.

Seeing that all the swords in his hand had been cleaned, Maki finally breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, a violent feeling of palpitation struck him, and a scorching heat came from behind him. Maki's hair stood on end, and he instinctively lunged to his side.

"Pfft!"

A severed arm flew up and was instantly burned to ashes by the raging flames. Uchiha Mo stood where his sword had just landed, the longsword covered in flames pointing diagonally at the ground, his brows furrowed slightly in dissatisfaction.

……

"Hiss!"

Maki lay on the ground, his right hand clutching his left shoulder, cold sweat pouring down his face like rain, his mouth constantly hissing in pain.

Maki, as expected of a battle-hardened elite Jonin, detected Uchiha Mo's killing intent just moments before he made his move, even though Mo had concealed his aura perfectly. Even so, he still paid the price with the loss of an arm.

"Bang!"

Uchiha Mo exploded into a puff of white smoke and disappeared. Maki gritted his teeth, his mind racing.

"Shadow clone? When... when I was knocked away! This brat used a shadow clone to replace my real body while I was being knocked away, and then he became the first shuriken thrown out! He was certain I would recognize the Third Sword!"

"Konoha... has produced a truly terrifying brat..."

Maki quickly figured out the situation, but even so, he understood that in his current state, it would be difficult for him to return alive.

For a regular ninja, losing an arm is tantamount to crippling their martial arts skills, because losing an arm means they can no longer form hand seals. And for most regular ninjas, being unable to form hand seals means they have essentially given up on ninjutsu and can only rely on taijutsu or genjutsu, or some special taijutsu techniques. But clearly, Maki is just a ninja who is proficient in ninjutsu and has some knowledge of taijutsu...

Thinking of this, Maki's expression changed, and he extended a hand to Uchiha Mo, who was walking closer.

"Wait! Blood Ninja, your goal in Konoha is simply to find out if the Kazekage has truly disappeared, isn't that right?"
