Chapter 240: Battle Eruption

Combination Jutsu: Lightning Water Dragon Explosion!!

While Earth Release is indeed effective against Water Release, Yu incorporated powerful Lightning Release Chakra Nature Transformation into his S-rank Water Release Ninjutsu. Lightning Release, in turn, counters Earth Release perfectly. The immense power of this strong Combination Jutsu directly crushed and disintegrated over a dozen Root Ninja who were collaborating to use Earth Release Ninjutsu.

"How is this possible..."

Facing the sudden eruption of power from the S-rank Combination Jutsu before them, the remaining Root Ninja scattered. "So many Earth Release Ninjutsu, which counters Water Release, were all broken through by him?!"

"He managed to infuse Lightning Release Chakra into Water Release in such a short casting time... Is this Scarlet Yu's strength?"

Seeing that the Earth Release techniques released by a dozen Ninjas together couldn't stop Yu's Ninjutsu alone, all the Ninjas present were momentarily silent, inwardly shocked by the terrifying strength of this white-haired youth before them.

"Earth Release countering Water Release is indeed correct..."

"But it seems you've overlooked the difference in Ninja ranks..."

Although every Ninja present wore masks, Yu could still discern the shocked expressions on their faces clearly. His sharp gaze locked onto Danzo, who was hiding behind the group of Ninjas before him. "Danzo, do you think you can stop me with these scraps?"

Not knowing if Uchiha Kagami had activated the Mangekyo Sharingan...

Seeing him install the Sharingan on his arm, it seemed unlikely...

While mercilessly taunting Danzo verbally, Yu's mind rapidly analyzed the situation before him. If Uchiha Kagami had activated the Mangekyo Sharingan, Danzo probably wouldn't have installed his Sharingan on his arm...

"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!!"

However, what answered Yu was an extremely sharp wind blade in the air before him.

Taking advantage of Yu's speech, the experienced Danzo seized the opportunity. Immediately, under the cover of his subordinates, he swiftly formed seals. A series of air-slashing wind blades directly sliced towards Yu.

"Thread Bound Shield!!"

Facing the Wind Release Ninjutsu unleashed by Danzo before him, Yu didn't even bother to lift his eyelids. He directly extended his hand and condensed a white shield in front of him using threads, firmly blocking the invisible, transparent wind blades.

"Such boring Ninjutsu..."

"I'll deal with these rubbish first, then I'll come for you!"

After blocking Danzo's Wind Release Ninjutsu, Yu's voice lingered in place, but he had already instantly transformed into a raging lightning and disappeared on the spot.

"Be careful!!"

"Protect Danzo-sama!!"

Seeing Yu's instantaneous eruption of Lightning Body Flicker, all the Root Ninjas present became tense, readying their weapons.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

But when they found Yu's figure again, he had already appeared among them, sending a dozen Ninjas flying with a single strike.

Too fast! 

With Yu's formidable Taijutsu combined with Lightning Release Body Flicker, not a single person present could catch his movements. Instead, with each strike Yu made, several Ninjas were sent flying.

!

Furthermore, with the ability of Thread Fruit, the sharp and invisible threads cut through all nearby Ninjas as easily as slicing through vegetables. Apart from bones shattering, their internal organs were also crushed, leaving them lying on the ground, unable to rise again.

Armament Haki!!

In the midst of intense battle, facing the continuous encroachment of Ninjas around him, Yu directly activated the second stage of Armament Haki. Dark material spread from bottom to top, covering his entire body like ink.

Weapons swung by all the Root Ninjas around him splattered sparks upon hitting him, but they couldn't penetrate his flesh defense in the slightest. Instead, they were forcefully repelled.

Dragon Fang!!

A thunderous tearing sound reverberated. Facing several Ninjas approaching from the side, Yu's kick created a blast of raging wind resembling a dragon's roar, like a powerful Air Cannon, fiercely blasting them all away.

"His Taijutsu... has reached such power?!"

"It seems those black substances have strengthened his body... What kind of Ninjutsu is this?!"

Danzo murmured in disbelief, realizing that Yu's Taijutsu seemed to have surpassed his understanding. He secretly analyzed that it was likely the mysterious black substance on Yu's body that was strengthening him.

"Everyone attack together! Kill him for me!!"

Seeing his elite Ninjas continuously falling to Yu's hands, Danzo felt as if his heart was being sliced by a knife.

These Ninjas were not just ordinary individuals. Each one of them was a Chunin or even a Special Jonin-level elite, painstakingly cultivated over many years by Danzo.

Self-Cursing Seal!!

As he spoke, Danzo swiftly formed hand seals, and a mysterious Sealing Jutsu began to approach Yu invisibly along the ground.

The Cursed Seal used by Danzo was also a type of Paralysis-class Sealing Jutsu. When applied all over the enemy's body, it could seal their movements. In the anime, he used this technique to seal Uchiha Sasuke's movements.

"My body... can't move..."

Yu, completely engulfed in rage, was ruthlessly slaughtering a group of Root Ninjas around him. However, at this moment, he suddenly felt his body freeze. A layer of mysterious black Cursed Seal had crawled onto his body, sealing him in place, rendering him unable to move!

"So this is it... a Sealing Jutsu..."

Seeing the mysterious black Cursed Seal spreading all over his body, Yu immediately realized, "After all, he's a Kage Ninja from the same era as Sarutobi-sensei. It seems this old man still has some strength!"

"A perfect opportunity!!"

"Quickly! Finish him off!!"

They seized the opportunity of his body being sealed by Danzo, a group of Root Ninjas nearby had already rushed forward, wielding their weapons swiftly, aiming to kill him on the spot.

"They're coordinating quite well..."

"But thinking they can kill me with just these scraps is simply a delusion!"

Facing the Ninjas swiftly rushing towards him to strangle him, Yu stood alone calmly in place, his tone light as if the well-trained killers before him were not the ruthless Root Ninjas, but a group of speechless puppets.

Air Door!!

Scorch Release: Grand Burning Sea!!

As he spoke, although Yu was temporarily sealed in place, the air above everyone's heads suddenly turned into a circular door opening.

Immediately, the terrifying Scorch Release flames surged out from Kaio's alternate space like a tide. The Ninjas rushing towards him were engulfed by it, their bodies evaporating all the moisture within them, turning into dreadful mummified corpses!

"What a cruel Ninjutsu!!"

Witnessing such terrifying Ninjutsu, seeing their companions one moment alive and the next moment turned into mummified corpses, the remaining Root Ninjas around stopped in their tracks, hesitating to advance.

"This sensation... is it Space-Time Ninjutsu?"

Witnessing the scene before him, Danzo's gaze sharpened. As an experienced individual, he had once witnessed Space-Time Ninjutsu on the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze. After some time of study, he had gained a certain understanding. "So that's how it is... You have actually hidden your Puppets within this Space-Time Jutsu!"

Seeing that Yu not only mastered the most mysterious and unpredictable Space-Time Ninjutsu in the ninja world but also concealed his most powerful Puppets within Space-Time, Danzo was suddenly filled with intense unease. He felt as if every corner around him concealed lethal danger.
