"Lord Nanaya, if you don't come, we'll be done for!"
Seeing the appearance of Uchiha Nanaya, Kakashi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Nanaya?"
"Nanaya, it's this kid again!"
Both Genma Shiranui and Asuma were surprised by the arrival of Uchiha Nanaya.
To be honest, Kakashi hadn't expected Uchiha Nanaya to show up; he thought it would be Guy and the Jōnin coming to reinforce them.
With Uchiha Nanaya's current status, there was no need for him to come for reinforcements. He could have just sent Guy, Aoba, and the others.
But the world is wonderfully unpredictable, and the person who showed up was Uchiha Nanaya.
The arrival of Uchiha Nanaya gave Asuma, Genma Shiranui, and Kakashi a profound sense of security.
Genma Shiranui thought to himself that if the reinforcements were this guy, they would definitely be able to turn the tide.
Although Asuma felt embarrassed now, the last thing he wanted was for Uchiha Nanaya to see him in such a state.
But nothing was more important than life, and the arrival of Uchiha Nanaya gave him a 100% sense of security.
Kakuzu frowned.
"Konoha's reinforcements? There's only one person? How underwhelming."
At this moment, Kakashi showed a long-lost smile.
"No, no, no, the arrival of that man is very significant for you."
Kakuzu noticed that the arrival of this young Konoha ninja had shifted the mood of Kakashi and his companions, who had been in despair.
They seemed to have found a path to victory in a dire situation, and they believed in it.
Cut—
Hidan's face was full of disdain.
"Hey, Kakuzu, who is this guy? Another cool guy?"
Hidan had forced Asuma into a desperate situation, and he relished punishing his opponents in such moments, all under the watchful eyes of Lord Cthulhu.
But this atmosphere was disrupted by the appearance of an unknown individual.
Uchiha Nanaya's arrival completely ruined Hidan's mood.
Not only that, but whether it was Asuma, who was on the ground, Genma Shiranui, or Kakashi, there were smiles on their faces.
The arrival of Uchiha Nanaya felt to them like the arrival of a savior.
This feeling made Hidan quite uncomfortable.
Not just Hidan, but Kakuzu felt it too.
The fact that one person came to reinforce them was actually a compliment, and this was coming from the mouth of the Copy Ninja, Kakashi.
This left Kakuzu feeling perplexed.
Looking at Nanaya's figure, Kakashi smiled and asked, "Nanaya, do you want me to tell you about the abilities of these two guys?"
Uchiha Nanaya's indifferent gaze swept around. He lightly replied, "This, you don't have to."
"This guy..."
Kakashi shook his head; this was in line with Nanaya's style!
Nanaya glanced at Hidan, who was already in the ritual, and saw that the ceremony had begun.
Asuma lay on the ground, pain etched across his face.
Clearly, Hidan's target for punishment was him.
Poor Asuma, once again abused by Hidan.
In the original story, Asuma died at the hands of Hidan.
But this time was different. With Uchiha Nanaya around, Akatsuki was nothing to fear.
"Who is this guy? He's so arrogant. Once I collect this 35 million taels, you will be the next one to be punished by Lord Heretic God."
Hidan was growing impatient.
This time, it was a fatal blow.
The black stick in his hand was aligned with his heart.
Uchiha Nanaya crossed his arms over his chest and said with a playful smile, "Hey, religious believer, you can't kill anyone in front of me!"
Hidan grinned; he disliked young men who were handsome and loved to act cool.
"Can't do it? You can try."
"Just try it!"
Uchiha Nanaya's right eye quickly turned scarlet, revealing a shuriken pattern in his pupil.
Bang.
Hidan's body flew dozens of meters away.
The figure standing on the pattern had become Uchiha Nanaya.
Asuma felt a sudden blow to his neck and fainted on the spot.
Of course, it was Uchiha Nanaya who struck Hidan, who was in the ritual, and Asuma was naturally implicated.
However, Hidan had come out this time; Asuma simply passed out, and his life was safe.
Being hit by Uchiha Nanaya made it all worth it for Asuma.
Nanaya geared up and smiled, saying, "Genma, take Asuma to Kakashi. Just watch the two of them."
Genma Shiranui replied, "Oh, oh, okay!"
Everything happened so suddenly that Genma was momentarily at a loss for words.
Kakuzu was equally stunned, even more shocked.
Just moments ago, Nanaya was clearly still at the big tree behind him.
But in the blink of an eye, Hidan had been knocked away.
And Nanaya's figure now occupied the spot where Hidan had been.
This shift in position was truly incredible.
At this time, Kakuzu noticed that Nanaya's left eye was a normal black pupil.
But his right eye was Sharingan, and not just any Sharingan—it resembled a shuriken, suggesting a Mangekyō Sharingan!
Kakuzu was taken aback.
Wasn't the Uchiha clan mostly wiped out by Itachi? Besides Itachi's younger brother, were there still other Uchiha clan members?
With doubts in his heart, Kakuzu asked Nanaya, "Boy, introduce yourself!"
Nanaya smiled coldly.
"You too?"
"Young people these days are really bold."
A monstrous killing intent emanated from Kakuzu, who had been a ninja for so long, feeling looked down upon by a kid.
"Kid, I remember the first Konoha Shinobi I fought was the First Hokage. He wasn't as arrogant as you. You're courting death!"
The First Hokage?
Is this guy a contemporary of the First Hokage?
Kakashi and Genma Shiranui were shocked.
It seemed that this old man in the mask was indeed immortal; just how old must he be now!
This Kakuzu seemed quite proud of having fought the First Hokage.
But the First Hokage probably didn't remember having such a notable opponent.
Looking at Kakuzu's proud expression, Nanaya couldn't help but laugh. "When you fought the First Hokage, do you mean the one who threw a few shuriken and ran away?"
Kakuzu: "..."
(Kakuzu thought, how can you just dismiss my claims? But I really did fight the First Hokage; you have to believe me!)
"Little brat, you're really annoying. I just lost a heart. Don't give up the heart that came to my door. It's not just you; it's also the two over there."
This is a world where there are not many ninjas with Sharingan.
Unable to contain his curiosity, Kakuzu asked Nanaya, "Little brat, are you from the Uchiha clan?"
"Wrong!"
Kakuzu immediately denied it again. Since he was from the Uchiha clan, there couldn't be just one Sharingan.
Because Nanaya, who was standing in front of him, had a Sharingan shaped like a shuriken in his right eye, while his left eye was a normal black pupil.
"Is this kid from the Uchiha clan?"
