Seeing A charge towards him in an instant, Mirai Uchiha tossed a kunai into the air indifferently.
For him, who possessed Extreme Reaction Nerves and the three-tomoe Sharingan, in that moment of maximum concentration, time seemed to slow down.
He could even clearly see A's enraged face and the yellowish teeth in his open mouth.
"Die!"
A roared.
But just as his fist was about to hit Mirai Uchiha's head, the latter suddenly disappeared.
"How is that possible?!"
A's attack missed. He immediately looked around and discovered that Mirai Uchiha had inexplicably appeared behind him.
Seeing his opponent's longsword, raised high and covered in Wind Style chakra, A felt immense panic.
Moving at high speed, it was already too late to dodge Mirai Uchiha's attack.
He could only circulate his body's chakra to the maximum and desperately twist his torso.
Slash!
The sharp blade pierced his Lightning Release Armor and cleanly sliced off his left arm!
Boom!
A shot out of the dust cloud and crashed heavily onto the ground.
This scene left all the spectators with their mouths agape in surprise.
"No, what happened to Lord A's arm?"
"I didn't see anything, what just happened?"
"He lost! Lord A was defeated!"
"Just two moves and he left Lord A in such a pitiful state... What kind of monster has appeared in Konoha?!"
The faces of the Cloud ninjas were filled with panic.
When A charged at Mirai Uchiha, the kicked-up dust covered everything, so no one knew what had exactly happened.
Everyone only saw that, in what seemed like an instant, after A burst through the dust cloud, he was missing an arm.
A, in whom they had placed all their hopes, had fallen here in this way.
Not only was he gravely injured, but he had even lost an arm.
Remembering the image of Mirai Uchiha killing without batting an eye, a chill ran through the hearts of the Cloud Village ninjas.
After the death of the Third Raikage, A was the strongest ninja in the Cloud Village.
But the strongest ninja of their village now had a severed arm and lay miserably on the ground.
How was it possible that a brat who hadn't even reached adulthood could do something like that?!
...
"Brother!"
In the distance.
Seeing A's pitiful state, Killer Bee roared and opened his mouth to the sky.
A Tailed Beast Bomb with a destructive aura began to gradually form above his head.
"Don't even think about it!"
"Eight-Headed Serpent Jutsu!"
Orochimaru's expression turned cold and he formed seals with his hands.
The next second, his body began to transform.
In an instant, he turned into a gigantic white serpent, of a size comparable to the Eight-Tails.
The Yamata no Orochi had eight tails and eight heads, and the moment it appeared, it lunged at the Eight-Tails.
Boom!
The two gigantic bodies collided, and the earth began to tremble violently.
The Gyūki's Tailed Beast Bomb also vanished into thin air due to Orochimaru's intervention.
"Eight-Tails, I will use you to test my new forbidden jutsu."
Orochimaru's cold and sinister voice was heard.
Facing A and Killer Bee alone, he might not be a match for them, but if it was only Killer Bee, he didn't feel too much pressure.
...
A got up with difficulty and used chakra to stop the bleeding from his severed arm.
He looked around and saw that the Cloud Village ninjas had already lost all their fighting spirit.
Added to his current injuries, it was no longer necessary to continue this war.
Especially...
Now Konoha's side had an Uchiha whose strength was terrifying!
At that moment, a kunai suddenly flew out of the dust cloud in front of him.
Remembering the previous scene, in which Mirai Uchiha inexplicably disappeared and appeared behind him, an intense sense of crisis invaded A's heart.
Without hesitating for an instant, A's figure turned into a lightning bolt and fled in the direction of the Land of Lightning.
"Listen to my orders, retreat!"
"Bee, run!"
A's voice echoed across the battlefield, but his figure disappeared in an instant.
The Cloud Village ninjas, who were already eager to leave, upon hearing A's order, threw everything they had in their ninja tool pouches—shurikens and explosive tags—behind them.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The explosions halted the advance of the Konoha ninjas, and the Cloud Village ninjas managed to retreat successfully.
Killer Bee, using the method of escaping with a severed tail, also broke free from Orochimaru's grasp and quickly disappeared from the battlefield.
"We won! We've won!"
"Hahahaha... those guys from the Cloud Village were scared to death, it's such a pleasure to see them flee in terror."
"Hmph! Let's see if those brainless brutes dare to mess with Konoha again."
Orochimaru released the Eight-Headed Serpent Jutsu and returned to his human form.
Looking at the backs of the fleeing Cloud ninjas, he waved his hand: "After them! Dismantle all of the Cloud Village's outposts!"
"Yes, sir!"
Under Orochimaru's command, the Konoha ninjas began to pursue in the direction the Cloud ninjas had gone.
When everyone had left, Orochimaru slowly walked to where Mirai Uchiha was.
The look with which he observed him was extremely complex.
Although he already knew that the young man before him possessed terrifying strength, the combat prowess Mirai Uchiha had demonstrated tonight had left him speechless.
Unlike the other Konoha ninjas, he had personally faced A.
Therefore, he knew how immensely powerful he was.
It could be said that... even in the entire ninja world, A's strength was, without a doubt, among the strongest that existed.
Speed, strength, defense...
From any point of view, he couldn't find any weak points.
But such a powerful ninja, when facing Mirai Uchiha, had been crushed in just two exchanges.
The first time, in a head-on clash of fists, he was sent flying nearly a thousand meters.
The second time, an arm was cut off in the first instant of the confrontation.
Even he found it a little difficult to accept.
Too strong!
Mirai Uchiha was simply too strong!
A strength that was gradually beginning to surpass his comprehension.
Suddenly, Orochimaru remembered the words Mirai Uchiha had said to him a few days ago...
Orochimaru, who had always had great confidence in himself, felt a bit of panic.
Could it be that the future would really unfold as this boy had said?
After a long silence, Orochimaru finally composed his emotions and, looking at Mirai Uchiha, spoke slowly: "Mirai-kun, aren't you going to follow them?"
"It's not necessary, I'm also a bit tired."
Mirai Uchiha shook his head indifferently.
He had not yet reached a level where he could ignore attacks. If the tens of thousands of remaining Cloud Village ninjas launched a suicidal counterattack, he wouldn't be able to withstand it either.
Besides, today's harvest had already been more than enough.
Seeing Mirai Uchiha's back as he walked away, Orochimaru stuck out his long tongue and licked his face.
If one day things really developed as Mirai Uchiha had said, then perhaps he should consider accepting his recruitment offer.
Perhaps...
The goal he had always sought, it might be that Mirai Uchiha could help him achieve it.
