Chapter 139: What an Arrogant Tone

[Land of Fire Border]

To be precise, near the Land of Fire border, not yet within its territory.

Here were Yugito Nii and the five hundred Cloud ninja she led stationed.

Along the way, they marched openly, seemingly afraid that other ninja villages wouldn't know Cloud had mobilized troops.

The Land of Hot Water was just a tourism country, as the name suggests, the country was full of various hot springs.

There was only a very small Hidden Hot Water Village, with few people.

To this obviously transiting Cloud force, they completely pretended not to see.

Currently, the Cloud's location was at the Land of Hot Water near the Land of Fire's border.

So many of them, if they were in the Land of Hot Water, doing anything wouldn't matter.

But entering the Land of Fire, the meaning would change.

Because Cloud was the most blatantly arrogant, many scouts from different powers were watching near their station.

They were watching what Konoha really intended.

Recently, Konoha was in a storm of changes, with various information continuously spreading out.

Many were uncertain what Uchiha's current position really was.

So this Cloud probe had also drawn the attention of the entire ninja world.

Rengoku's speed was also very fast, and after two days of rushing, he arrived near the Land of Fire's border.

Although he was always confident, recovering energy was still necessary.

Rengoku found a tree, directly climbed up, and saw that there was a tree hole there.

He left a shadow clone below on guard while he himself went to sleep.

The shadow clone sat under the tree with eyes closed, pretending to nap.

There was no road on this border side, so those who came here were not ordinary people.

Soon someone discovered the presence of Rengoku's shadow clone.

Rengoku wore a dazzling Uchiha clan uniform, clearly indicating his identity.

Everyone compared his face with recent intel.

And directly recognized him.

"This is the Uchiha Rengoku with three Mangekyo Sharingan?"

"He looks so young?"

"He's only 17, of course he looks young."

"Konoha only sent him alone?"

"Unlikely, there must be others hidden nearby."

When Rengoku's shadow clone was discovered, the number of nearby scouts rapidly increased.

On the other side, Cloud also received the news.

Under Yugito Nii's lead, five hundred troops directly crossed the border and arrived near Rengoku.

Yugito Nii brought several elites and walked toward Rengoku.

"You're Uchiha's Fourth Elder, Uchiha Rengoku?"

"That's right, I am," Rengoku folded his arms, raised his head slightly, performing the Uchiha arrogance to perfection.

From his perch in the tree, Rengoku examined Yugito Nii with both eyes, and he also recognized her identity.

"Oh? Turns out it's the Two-Tails Jinchuriki. What a pity, I thought I could wait for the Eight-Tails."

Although Yugito Nii was only 20 years old now, someone who became a perfect Jinchuriki naturally wouldn't be provoked by such words.

"There's no need for Killer B to come. I alone am enough."

Though the opponent was the legendary Mangekyo Sharingan, Rengoku's young face was really too deceptive.

She really couldn't associate him with the image of a top expert.

Yugito Nii also couldn't help but wonder inwardly, 'Where are his people?'

'Could it be he came alone?'

"You Cloud ninja should retreat. We Uchiha don't want to fight for now," Rengoku waved his hand, with the tone of casually inviting someone to go home for dinner.

Yugito Nii frowned and said, "Just based on your one sentence?"

Right now she represented Cloud's dignity. If Rengoku had brought hundreds and spoke with the posture of negotiation, Cloud might have retreated.

But the opponent was just one person, brushing her off like a fly.

How could a domineering village like Cloud tolerate that?

They couldn't.

Although the Tsuchikage warned her to be cautious, she had plenty of people by her side.

She also wanted to take the opportunity to test just what level Uchiha's Mangekyo really was.

Rengoku slowly stood upright, chakra rolling from his body like boiling water.

"If you Cloud ninja insist on testing, then prepare to be slaughtered."

Sss!

With the sound of a long blade sliding from its sheath, Rengoku slowly drew his sword.

That posture, clearly planning to challenge five hundred Cloud ninjas alone.

Yugito Nii was so angry she laughed, "What an arrogant tone!"

Then, explosive chakra erupted from her body, and a tail of blue chakra flame appeared behind her.

BOOM!

Rengoku's eyes opened wide, releasing a massive burst of ocular power.

Even Yugito Nii was stunned for a moment.

The next second, as she snapped out of it, Rengoku had closed the distance to her.

A horizontal slash aimed straight for Yugito Nii's neck.

Yugito Nii's hands flicked out claws to guard her neck, barely managing to block Rengoku's slash.

With a yank, Rengoku's blade clashed against her claws with a sharp "ka-cha" sound, sparks flying.

As the blade just left contact, Rengoku already kicked at Yugito Nii's abdomen.

Yugito Nii flipped up, arching her back flexibly to dodge it.

Next second, claws popped from beneath her feet, sweeping toward Rengoku.

Rengoku of course countered. Blade met claw, and under the great force, he flipped back and formed hand signs.

Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!

Rengoku inhaled deeply and blew out countless fireballs.

A chakra-rich person's ninjutsu was generally the PLUS version.

Rengoku's Phoenix Fire blanketed Yugito Nii and the Cloud ninja behind her like a carpet bombing.

Yugito Nii was hit by two bursts of flame, and the several hundred behind her were thrown into chaos.

Shouting and screaming filled the air.

Yugito Nii's eyes turned dangerous, "Well well well, seems Elder Rengoku really doesn't take our Cloud seriously."

With a wave of her hand, the elites she brought backed off to rescue the rookies she had brought.

They'd realized that Rengoku's strength hadn't exceeded their expectations.

And Yugito Nii hadn't even used her half-tailed form or full-tailed form yet.

Here, Yugito Nii pressed both hands forward, and chakra flames from her body erupted wildly.

Her eyes turned white, hair shooting upward, her whole appearance terrifying.

It was her half-tailed form.

Yugito Nii opened her mouth and spat a massive fireball toward Rengoku.

Rengoku's lips curled into a cold smile, "Showing off in front of a master."

He quickly formed hand signs, deeply inhaled and summoned massive chakra, stomped on the ground, and leapt high into the air!

Fire Style: Great Fire Destruction!

Rengoku suddenly spit out a super-giant fireball, which fell like a meteor and smashed into the ground.

The fireball Yugito Nii spat was instantly shattered like a toy.

The surrounding Cloud ninja encircling Rengoku were all terrified!

'Such a powerful Fire Style technique?'

With a deafening roar, the flames smashed into the ground and exploded violently.

Flames spread everywhere, and all the Cloud ninja scrambled in panic to escape.

The outer ring of scouts were also shocked by Rengoku's powerful Fire Style, retreating repeatedly.

The entire forest was set ablaze with towering fire and black smoke everywhere.

Rengoku landed on a tall tree, looking down at the sea of fire below.

His eyes flickered, no one knew what he was thinking.
