Compared to Minato Namikaze, everyone else pales in comparison.
This was a phrase that Jiraiya used to often mention.
He rarely talks about it now.
"That guy is a true genius!" Minato exclaimed sincerely.
These two words have been with Kakashi since he began his training, and he has always been the envy of everyone in the Ninja Academy.
But compared to Uchiha Kagami and Namikaze Minato, he clearly realized...
I am still far from being a true genius.
Sukuna's slashes include "Kai" and "Ba".
The solution is the extremely high frequency of the slashing attack.
Eight is a fatal blow.
After absorbing and digesting some of Sukuna's slashes, Uchiha Kagami developed the Thousand Blade Style: Kageyoshi, which can be considered a targeted, high-frequency slash.
In fact, its form and attack method are like the return of ten thousand swords to their origin.
"Ba" is a slash that can be fatal in one strike, adjusted according to the difference and intensity of the spell.
Unless it is "Subduing the Demon Chef", the activation of "8" requires physical contact between Sukuna and the target.
Uchiha Kagami awakens his Sharingan.
Eye power is an extension of the Uchiha's power; as long as one sees something, it can serve as a condition for activating a technique.
Yekura's movements slowed down, as if she were moving inside amber, with every tiny movement magnified infinitely.
She herself realized this.
She was less than ten meters away from the Uchiha boy, but that distance felt like an insurmountable chasm in front of her.
The blade's edge was as cold as frost and as bright as a crescent moon.
He simply swung his sword horizontally in front of him; it was such a simple action, yet Ye Cang couldn't understand it at all.
It was as if countless pieces of junk information were being flooded into her mind, causing her to stagnate.
In an instant, all the information came together.
Regardless of its importance or what it is, it is forcibly and directly entered into the brain.
Finally... only the noisy and mournful chirping of cicadas remained.
Sukuna observes the outside world through the seal.
He knew that Uchiha Kagami was developing this technique, but he never expected it to actually succeed.
"The Sharingan... is it made of these eyes...?"
There is also a pair of eyes in the world of sorcery, similar to the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, but whether it is Sukuna's own perception or judgment based on information gathered from the outside world...
These eyes can evolve further, possessing even greater potential than the six-eyed ones!
Furthermore, Sukuna knew that this brat was suppressing the evolution of those eyes himself...
This body... is even more suitable as my vessel than Fushiguro Megumi!!
But... this damn seal! Why can't it be broken?!
If this brat keeps getting stronger, I really won't be able to get out of this predicament!
Uchiha Kagami's body shifted from solid to ethereal, resembling a wisp of green smoke.
Accompanied by the blade's edge, it pierced through Yekura's body.
"Slashing Release - One Blade: The Chirping of Cicadas"
Chapter 21: Should we silence Orochimaru?
When the blade's edge dissipated, it was as if nothing had happened.
Yekura's body was intact, but the fireballs surrounding her were extinguished one by one.
It was like her life.
This legendary female ninja, who should have made a name for herself in the Third Shinobi World War, also died in the later stages of the war...
He died quietly and without a sound.
"A strike against consciousness? So, Kagami, is your secret technique considered Yin Release?" Minato Namikaze approached and asked.
Ordinary ninjas only know five chakra natures, but thanks to Jiraiya's teachings, Minato Namikaze knew that there were seven chakra natures.
In addition to the conventional elements of wind, fire, water, earth, and thunder, there is also yin and yang.
His girlfriend is one of the representatives of Yang Release, which is reflected in her enormous amount of chakra and extraordinary physique.
The Uchiha clan is the most outstanding in Yin Release.
Uchiha Kagami nodded and sat down to begin recovering his chakra.
With his current chakra reserves, he can only use this level of technique two or three times at most.
"They developed this technique to deal with me, didn't they?"
The Su Nuo within her body suddenly sneered.
He clearly learned his slashing technique, but the effect he used was like the Boundless Void. His intention was too obvious.
Uchiha Kagami remained noncommittal, responding calmly, "The characteristic of the three-tomoe Sharingan is copying. If you think it looks like it, then it is."
He was indeed on guard against Su Nuo.
The seal was very strong, and Su Nuo showed no signs of being able to escape.
But Uchiha Kagami must consider what to do if Sukuna escapes.
Ordinary ninjutsu is useless against him; techniques that directly attack the soul will definitely be effective.
Not only Sukuna, but most ninjas are also afraid of soul attacks, otherwise the Spirit Transformation Technique would not be called the number one assassination technique.
“I’ve heard of Sunagakure’s Scorching Release: Pyakura…” Kakashi sighed.
"As expected of you, Kagami."
Kakashi, I still prefer your old, rebellious self...
Minato Namikaze smiled and patted the two on the shoulder: "A remarkable debut on the battlefield, you both performed very well."
"I thought you would say that capturing her alive would be more valuable," Uchiha Kagami said calmly, shaking off Minato's hand.
Minato shook his head: "I won't ask you to capture the enemy alive; that would increase unnecessary risks."
"Remember this!"
His tone and expression became serious.
"On the battlefield, ensuring your own safety is the top priority, understand?"
"Understood!" Kakashi replied enthusiastically.
After a short rest, he used some of his Sukuna Curse power to restore his chakra.
The technique I just used was Yin Release, which used a higher proportion of spiritual energy, and replenishing chakra with pure spiritual energy was also faster.
The Nine-Tailed Fox Power Bank is still the best; it combines Yin and Yang, allowing for rapid recovery of both the physical body and spirit.
When Kushina went berserk last time, Kagami Uchiha collected some of the Nine-Tails' overflowing chakra.
They don't have enough power to achieve the Tailed Beast transformation like Kinkaku and Ginkaku.
If we take adult Kakashi as the unit of chakra, it would probably only be a dozen or so calories.
Normally, Uchiha Kagami would use the Yin-Yang Release technique little by little to study it, and he was reluctant to use it as a ninjutsu.
Fire Country Border Command Center.
Orochimaru, seeing the group returning after half a day's absence, assumed they had come to ask him for information about his mission objectives.
The command room was filled with more than a dozen intact corpses of Sunagakure.
After examining the brain, the Yamanaka ninja said, "The brain is intact; we should be able to read some information."
A Nara clan member with a pineapple-shaped hairstyle squatted in front of Pakura's corpse: "This is... Pakura, the bloodline ninja of Sunagakure!"
Why doesn't she have any wounds?
"It's an illusion."
Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Kagami with a cold gaze, his smile somewhat eerie.
"It must have been Mirror-kun who killed her."
No wounds... He killed a Jonin with only genjutsu!
You're even stronger than I imagined...
Upon hearing this, the Yamanaka ninja who was collecting the corpse looked up.
"Uchiha... Kagami-kun, right?"
"Is that so? Did your illusion damage her brain?"
"It should have been burned. You can try it and see." Uchiha Kagami didn't know the actual effect of this technique either, since it was the first time he had used it on a person.
Besides, he doesn't care about the information in Yekura's mind. If he really wanted to know something, it would be easier to just use his Sharingan to hypnotize her.
The secret techniques of the Yamanaka family are merely scraps from the many abilities of the Sharingan.
After they left with the bodies, the command center was back to the state it had been half a day earlier, with only four people remaining.
Minato Namikaze immediately bowed ninety degrees: "Lord Orochimaru, I am so sorry! Please forgive Kagami's offense!"
Orochimaru's gaze was deep and unfathomable, his voice revealing neither joy nor anger: "This is no simple offense... an attack on the frontline commander, Kagami-kun..."
"Your actions will get you taken in for questioning by the secret service."
Uchiha Kagami remained completely calm.
"Let's not even mention that you were the one who looked at me with hostility first."
"You were controlled by my genjutsu, Orochimaru-sama? If word gets out, do you have any shame?"
"I can just report it to the Hokage; the teacher should be considerate of my feelings."
Orochimaru leaned forward, like a snake about to hunt: "There are a few old fogies who are quite wary of the Uchiha clan."
"If they knew you had this kind of ability, how could they sleep at night..."
"Are you threatening me?"
"Perhaps. What would you do, Kagami-kun?"
Uchiha Kagami also approached Orochimaru, their two pairs of cold eyes meeting.
"If you want to play, then play big."
"Because of Orochimaru's persecution, I had to defect from Konoha, and at least several hundred Uchiha ninjas will follow me."
Orochimaru scoffed, "Kagami-kun, don't you know that when your strongest man in history left the village, no one followed him?"
"That's because the clan members at the time didn't know that the Uchiha would be subject to so many restrictions."
After a moment of silence, Orochimaru suddenly laughed and said, "It is indeed very unfair. They are such a powerful clan, yet they cannot obtain the status they deserve."
"Kagami-kun, if I become Hokage, how about I train you to be the next Hokage?"
It can be said that every Konoha ninja's initial dream was to become Hokage.
However, only a few can persevere to the end.
If anyone else said this, it would be pure empty talk, but it's different when Orochimaru says it.
Now the Third Hokage is getting old, Sakumo Hatake has left, and neither Jiraiya nor Tsunade wants to become Hokage.
Orochimaru is already the de facto successor to the Hokage position. His achievements are already sufficient, so it's not surprising that he's taking over now.
Only Uchiha Kagami knew that Namikaze Minato would be able to overtake him on the curve.
"Let's talk about it when you actually become Hokage. I think Minato is more likely to become Hokage than you," Uchiha Kagami said bluntly, not giving the scoundrel any face.
