Yasu and Uchiha Kazuo's ninja sword and kunai clashed repeatedly.
Yasu's blade speed was much faster than Uchiha Kazuo's, but with the insight of the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, Uchiha Kazuo could always block his attacks perfectly and counterattack.
In close combat, he couldn't gain any advantage against Uchiha Kazuo.
After the ninja sword and kunai collided again, Yasu took the initiative to distance himself from Uchiha Kazuo.
As he retreated, his hands were also quickly forming hand seals.
Uchiha Kazuo's expression became incredulous when he saw the hand seals he was forming.
After Yasu had completed the hand seals.
" Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning!"
He spat out a cloud of high-temperature ash, which spread around after hitting the ground.
Uchiha Kazuo immediately dodged, avoiding contact with the ash.
And because the ash was extremely hot, the surrounding trees immediately ignited upon contact.
Moreover, the ash could also explode.
After it spread for a distance, a series of violent explosions occurred.
After the explosions stopped, Uchiha Kazuo, who was hiding, observed his surroundings.
He knew Yasu used the ash to obstruct his vision, and cause him lose sight of him.
But what he didn't understand why could Yasu use a Fire Release ninjutsu of the Uchiha clan.
Logically, he shouldn't have had any to begin with
Uchiha Kazuo saw a rustling in the grass not far away and instantly formed hand seals.
"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"
He instantly spat out a giant fire dragon that attacked the rustling grass.
The fire dragon hit the grass and exploded, and a figure darted out before the explosion.
Uchiha Kazuo's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly: "Got you!"
"Fire Release: Dragon Flame Release Song Technique!"
Uchiha Kazuo spat out four fire dragons that simultaneously attacked Yasu in mid-air from above, below, left, and right.
In his view, Yasu will be unable to change directions mid-air, had no way to avoid the attack.
The instant the four fire dragons hit him, Yasu suddenly transformed into a flickering lightning bolt.
Uchiha Kazuo was shocked.
It was Lightning Release Shadow Clone!
And his position was exposed!
A crack appeared on the ground behind him, and Yasu's figure emerged from it.
After Yasu used the Ash Pile Burning Technique to obscure Uchiha Kazuo's vision, he created a Lightning Release Shadow Clone and then used Earth Release: Hiding Like a Mole Technique to dive into the ground.
He then used the Lightning Release Shadow Clone to lure Uchiha Kazuo. If Uchiha Kazuo approached, the lightning from the Lightning Release Shadow Clone would paralyze him.
However, it didn't succeed. Uchiha Kazuo chose to attack his Lightning Release Shadow Clone with a long-range ninjutsu.
But he successfully sneaked behind Uchiha Kazuo.
So, he directly swung his blade at Kazuo's legs.
The hairs on Uchiha Kazuo's body stood on end, and he quickly jumped up, dodging Yasu's attack.
But it wasn't over, Yasu formed hand seals and quickly took out a handful of shuriken.
" Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson!"
He attached flames to the flying shuriken while using the Phoenix Sage Fire Technique, causing the shuriken to fly with scorching heat like scattered phoenix flowers toward Uchiha Kazuo in the air.
Uchiha Kazuo's Three-Tomoe Sharingan spun wildly, observing the shuriken covered in flames.
A total of thirteen.
Kazuo precisely waved the kunai in his hand, and not a single shuriken landed, all of them were knocked down.
And Uchiha Kazuo landed steadily on the ground.
Yasu clicked his tongue: 'Tch, a Jonin of the ninja clans are strong indeed.'
Although he is just a Jonin, but Uchiha Kazuo is more troublesome than Kuroyama Tatsuji, the elite Jonin Yasu directly fought before.
Uchiha Kazuo's face was gloomy as he questioned: "Where did you learn our Uchiha Fire Release ninjutsu from?"
Yasu scoffed: "Where did I learn it from? You'll have to ask your clan head and his son. I didn't expect Uchiha Fugaku to come and apologize to me, and even give me the Uchiha clan's Fire Release ninjutsu and Sharingan usage insights. I really didn't expect your clan head to lower his old face and apologize to me."
Uchiha Kazuo didn't believe his words at all: "That's absolutely impossible! How could the clan head let Fugaku apologize to you! You little brat doesn't have a single word of truth in your mouth!"
Yasu chuckled: "Whether it is true or not? Wouldn't you know if you asked Masaki and Fugaku yourself? But honestly, your Uchiha's Fire Release ninjutsu is really quite useful."
Uchiha Kazuo still didn't believe that their clan head, Uchiha Masaki, would apologize to this abandoned brat.
Just as Uchiha Kazuo was preparing to attack again, a loud shout came: "What are you two doing?!"
Jiraiya appeared there, stopping the battle between them.
Uchiha Kyosuke and the other three Uchihas also arrived, looking at the devastated ground with confusion.
Many other ninjas also heard the commotion and rushed over.
Jiraiya looked at Yasu and frowned as he asked, "What exactly is going on?"
Seeing Jiraiya appear, Uchiha Kazuo's heart skipped a beat.
Damn it, this is bad.
He was blinded with anger just now and didn't consider the consequences of being discovered.
Yasu sheathed his ninja blade, looked at Uchiha Kazuo teasingly, and said: "What's going on? If you want to know what's going on, you have to ask him. I accepted a mission and was waiting here for my teammates to gather with me. But I didn't expect this guy to come over and threaten me for no reason, and then attack me directly without saying a word."
"Then I was forced to retaliate. I really don't know what he means. He was trying to kill me, Lord Jiraiya. Can people who can try to kill their comrades really be trusted? I think everyone here doesn't want their so-called comrades to stab them in the back at a critical moment, right?"
Uchiha Kazuo retorted angrily: "Lord Jiraiya, don't listen to his nonsense. He was the one who kept insulting me and the Uchiha clan. He deliberately provoked me to make me attack him!"
Uchiha Kazuo's hands were trembling with anger.
No wonder this brat's words were so venomous just now, constantly trying to make him attack.
This place is very close to the camp, and fighting here would definitely expose them.
Yasu wanted to force him to attack and then make him suffer the consequences.
