Naruto: This Uchiha is too innocent.

Compared to Kakuzu's decades of combat experience, twelve-year-old Uchiha Sora still seemed too inexperienced.

In terms of strength, speed, and reaction time, Kakuzu almost completely overwhelmed Uchiha Sora, especially the masked monsters created by the Earth Grudge Fear. Each of them could be described as a special Jonin with unlimited stamina and no pain.

According to Uchiha Sora, Kakuzu can create four masked monsters with different chakra attributes, corresponding to wind, fire, water, and lightning respectively. Combined with his own earth attribute chakra, Kakuzu is a powerful ninja with all five chakra attributes.

Now, Kakuzu has only sent out two masked monsters, Fire and Lightning, and they've already put him under immense pressure.

"Kid, I must say, you're a rare genius. Give me a few more years, and I might not be your match." Kakuzu's eyes were filled with laughter as he unleashed another earth-escape technique.

Uchiha Sora gritted his teeth and used the Secret Scroll: Whirlwind to defend himself, but the next moment, a shuriken slashed his arm, leaving a bright red line of blood.

At this moment, he had more than ten wounds on his body, his clothes were like suspenders, the wind and fire spread, the water and fire evaporated, the lightning and water caused an electric shock, and the fire and lightning overloaded him...

Kakuzu's combination of different elemental ninjutsu left Uchiha Sora in a sorry state, caught off guard by the various elemental reactions.

Another Lightning Release: False Darkness was unleashed, the blinding lightning emitting a sharp crackling sound as it tore through the air. The thin, silken lightning threads possessed terrifying destructive power, slashing down like the Grim Reaper's scythe.

Uchiha Sora's pupils contracted slightly. The other scrolls were still cooling down. In a flash, he could only raise the Kusanagi sword to block in front of his chest.

"Boom! Sizzle—"

Uchiha Sora felt a force like a landslide and a tsunami surge from the hilt of his sword, instantly coursing through his entire body. He was like a puppet with its strings cut, flying through the air along with his sword, crashing solidly into the wall.

After a while, he staggered to his feet, his arms trembling uncontrollably. The numbing sensation from the lightning release made it difficult for him to hold the sword. Each muscle spasm brought excruciating pain, and the aftereffects of the berserk lightning release were frantically destroying his body.

"Hmph... As expected, the gap between me and such a powerful expert is still this vast?" He murmured, his eyes lowered.

Since acquiring the ability to communicate with spirits and the secret scrolls, he has been incredibly powerful among the younger generation, undefeated. However, he is well aware that the gap between him and true masters is vast.

As long as there's a way to block his summoning attacks, he himself is easy to deal with. Kakuzu in front of you is undoubtedly a master like yourself.

Each time a summoning attack is launched, the masked monsters around Kakuzu can block it. Each time a secret scroll attacks, one masked monster defends while the other uses ninjutsu to break the attack.

In that instant, he thought of escaping.

However, the next moment, he looked at the masked monsters around him and his mind sank. Kakuzu seemed to have sensed his potential and had already blocked the exit, so he could not escape.

As Kakuzu said, Kakuzu had his eye on his heart. Kakuzu only had two interests: money and hearts. Now that he had encountered a heart that he was extremely interested in, he naturally wouldn't let Uchiha Sora go.

"Hehehe, after I rip out your heart, I'll go kill that woman." Kakuzu spoke in a sinister tone, his eerie green eyes filled with greed.

He thought that once he removed Uchiha Sora's heart, his strength would increase further, and he could make money even faster.

Suddenly, he paused slightly, because the aura emanating from Uchiha Sora in front of him had changed. If there was a hint of panic in his eyes just now, then there was a sense of relief in those dark eyes.

He frowned, becoming wary. This kid in front of him seemed to have some kind of trump card. However, he was only a little wary; he didn't think Uchiha Sora could cause much trouble.

As for what Uchiha Sora was thinking?

He was thinking that he still had a trump card up his sleeve, a trump card that was enough to turn the tide!

"Kakuzu," Uchiha Sora suddenly spoke, "since you know I'm from the Uchiha clan, don't you feel something's missing after all this fighting?"

Kakuzu paused, something was missing? He subconsciously looked up at Uchiha Sora, his mind racing, trying to recall the differences between the Uchiha ninjas he had killed and the brat before him.

Suddenly, his body stiffened, for he realized something. Without hesitation, he glanced to the side, but it was too late.

Because he had already seen it, those rose-like kaleidoscope patterns radiating a dazzling red light!

Instantly open a kaleidoscope!

In an instant, Kakuzu felt his body being forcibly imprisoned in mid-air by a terrifying force, unable to move an inch, and even unable to control the masked monster.

What came into view was endless flames and a stunning sword light...

The glory of the Uchiha!

After one move, a scarlet bloodstain flowed from Uchiha Sora's eye. A violent, sharp pain surged from his eye without warning. He covered his eye, his longsword fell from his hand, and he staggered several steps.

Gasping for breath,

"Phew, as expected, the aftereffects are too great."

Prolonged use of the Mangekyou Sharingan can lead to blindness, a fact that Uchiha Sora was well aware of. Therefore, apart from the time he killed the Sand Ninja, he had never used the Uchiha Glory.

But now, whether they continue fighting or run away, they have no choice but to use this tactic.

Looking at the corpse in front of him, he showed no sign of relaxation, because he knew that Kakuzu was not dead yet; this guy had five lives.

As expected, Uchiha Sora had barely caught his breath when the corpse in front of him stood up again. The corpse twisted its neck, making a chilling "crackling" sound, and its eerie gaze was fixed on Uchiha Sora.

"I never imagined you possessed such eyes," Kakuzu's deep voice held a mixture of surprise and greed. "Your heart must be wondrous!"

"Four left," Uchiha Sora said calmly. "Aren't you afraid of dying here?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Kakuzu's eyes. "I didn't expect you to know I have five lives. But so what? You don't think that move can kill me again, do you? Kid, the difference in absolute strength can't be made up for by a pair of eyes."

Uchiha Sora remained silent. He knew Kakuzu was right. The reason the Glory of Uchiha was able to kill Kakuzu once was because the latter was careless. Now that they were on guard, it would be too difficult to kill him again with one move.

At this moment, he had no other choice. That bewitching red light surged wildly from his eyes once more, the magatama spinning into a kaleidoscope.

"Haha, want to do it again?" Kakuzu laughed, and two more masked monsters emerged from behind him.

"One more time? No, let's do something different this time," Uchiha Sora said quietly.

Suddenly, a sense of unease welled up in Kakuzu's heart, and in the next instant, that unease materialized.

Because the little devil in front of me has undergone a complete transformation.

Uchiha Sora's aura suddenly changed; his mask shattered, like a fierce gust of wind rising in the cold night. His figure slowly twisted in a dark purple light, and a terrifying horn slowly emerged from his scalp armor.

Its originally upright figure became even more slender and agile, its entire body covered with a layer of wing-like armor. The edges of those wings were as sharp as blades, and every slight tremor seemed capable of slicing through the air.

"The third power, Susanoo,"

"Crow Tengu".
