Chapter 40
"Ready? Let's go. Kushina's waiting outside."
"Mm."
At the same time, Ling Yu walked out of the house with Mikoto.
"What? There are accomplices?"
Uchiha Fugaku's expression changed drastically. How could the Uchiha compound be so easy to infiltrate that three six- or seven-year-old kids could come and go freely?
At this moment, Mikoto had changed out of her Uchiha-clan-crest clothes into plain civilian attire for the visit to Ling Yu's house. Fugaku had no idea she was an Uchiha.
"Kushina, come here."
Ling Yu's face also turned serious. He pulled the stunned Kushina behind him.
He hadn't expected that even after using Kyōka Suigetsu to erase his and Kushina's presence, someone could still notice them.
That means he wasn't hypnotized by my Kyōka Suigetsu. Did I miss him? Ling Yu stared at the boy in front of him, silently guessing.
Ding! Defeat Chest detected. Defeating/killing Uchiha Fugaku will reward Exquisite Chest ×1.
Uchiha Fugaku? Sasuke's dad? So that's who it is.
After the system revealed the name of the eleven- or twelve-year-old ninja in front of him, Ling Yu instantly understood. He glanced back at Mikoto, already thinking about how to toy with this future love rival.
"Young master, we didn't find any intruders here."
"Yeah, there's not even a shadow. How could there be intruders?"
"Young master, trust in the police force's abilities. With us guarding the area, no one could possibly enter the Uchiha compound."
"Mm-hmm. We guarantee not even a fly could get in."
While Ling Yu was deep in thought, the police force members behind Fugaku started speaking one after another.
Heh. Not even a fly could get in? Then what are these three living people standing right in front of me?
Hearing his subordinates blatantly lying with straight faces, Fugaku felt like he'd swallowed shit—utterly humiliated.
The intruders were right there, and they were acting like they couldn't see them. This wasn't just a slap in the face—it was a full beating.
Wait… they can't see them? Could it be… those two did something?
Fugaku narrowed his eyes at the boy standing in front of the two girls, suddenly understanding.
What Fugaku could figure out, Ling Yu could naturally see as well. At this moment, a brilliant plan targeting Fugaku had already formed in his mind.
Hypnotize everyone except you. Let you be the only one who knows the truth. Will they believe what they see… or believe you, the young master?
"You two step back. Just watch what I do next."
After instructing Kushina and Mikoto to move away, Ling Yu pulled Kyōka Suigetsu from his system inventory.
"Shatter, Kyōka Suigetsu."
"What kind of ninjutsu is that?"
Fugaku had already retreated to a safe distance the moment Ling Yu drew the sword. When he saw the weapon suddenly vanish after being drawn, a wave of unease rose in his heart.
"Young master, wait for us!"
"Young master, don't run so fast!"
"Wait for us!"
While Fugaku was still lost in thought, all the police force members behind him were sent away by Ling Yu. Now only Ling Yu, the two girls, and Fugaku remained on the scene.
That sword is strange! Fugaku instantly realized what Ling Yu had just done.
"Hmph. You think sending them away will scare me?"
Seeing the six-year-old boy in front of him looking ready to fight one-on-one, Fugaku almost wanted to laugh.
What could a six-year-old possibly do to him? He was the genius of the Uchiha—awakened his two-tomoe Sharingan at eleven and became a chunin!
"Is that so? You won't be laughing soon. Careful not to cry."
Faced with Fugaku's mockery, Ling Yu showed no anger. Instead, he warned him with a grin.
"Hmph. Sharp-tongued brat."
With a cold snort in his heart, Fugaku immediately unleashed his strongest move.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Too slow!"
Using Space Power, Ling Yu appeared behind Fugaku in the next instant.
"What?!"
Fugaku's pupils shrank sharply. The moment Ling Yu vanished from his sight, a chill ran down his back. Before he could turn—
"Shinra Tensei!"
A massive repulsive force centered on Ling Yu compressed the air around him, then exploded outward, slamming straight into Fugaku.
"Ahhh!"
With no time to defend, Fugaku was sent flying like he'd been hit by a speeding train—crashing seven or eight meters away before stopping.
This was Ling Yu holding back half his power. If he'd gone all out, Fugaku would have been seriously injured.
"Pfft…"
Covering his chest, Fugaku spat blood, then quickly stood up. This time he didn't attack—instead, he activated his two-tomoe Sharingan and watched Ling Yu cautiously.
As a genius ninja, even though Fugaku was only chunin level, his combat experience was rich. He knew how to adjust after taking a hit—waiting for the opponent's move, looking for an opening to counter.
"What's wrong? Still want to laugh at me?"
Instead of continuing the assault, Ling Yu teased Fugaku with interest.
From the moment Fugaku used his ninjutsu, Ling Yu had already gauged his strength—only chunin level. He could handle him easily.
"I underestimated you. Who are you? Why are you trespassing in the Uchiha compound?"
Fugaku, true to his genius nature, stayed calm even when mocked. He tried to draw information from his opponent.
"You'll find out later. I'm not wasting time. After beating you senseless, I still have dinner waiting."
Seeing Kushina's impatient expression in the distance, Ling Yu didn't want to drag things out. After a cocky remark, he attacked again.
"Crystal Release: Hexagonal Shuriken Barrage!"
A storm of crystal shuriken rained down on Fugaku from all directions—north, south, east, west.
"Earth Style: Multiple Mud Wall!"
Faced with Ling Yu's strange new technique, Fugaku didn't dare hold back. He unleashed his strongest defensive ninjutsu, blocking every crystal shuriken.
Before he could celebrate, Ling Yu's next wave arrived.
"Explode!"
With a single hand seal, Ling Yu gave a low shout. The next instant, all the blocked crystal shuriken detonated, shattering the mud walls into pieces.
"Crystal Release: Small Eight Trigrams Eight Directions Formation!"
To prevent Fugaku from escaping, Ling Yu continued his assault. A cage made of crystal instantly enclosed Fugaku completely.
"Hehe. I've been annoyed with you for a while. Today I'll beat you good."
Using Space Power, Ling Yu appeared behind Fugaku and threw a punch straight at his face.
"Ah!"
Even with his two-tomoe Sharingan active, Fugaku couldn't track Ling Yu's movements. He could only passively endure the barrage of punches.
Finally, after beating Fugaku until he couldn't stand, Ling Yu dispersed the Crystal Release and returned to Mikoto and Kushina.
Ding! Congratulations, host! Defeated Uchiha Fugaku. Reward: Exquisite Chest ×1, Exchange Points +100.
"That… is Uchiha Fugaku okay?"
Mikoto looked at Fugaku lying on the ground like a dead dog, face covered in bruises, and worried he might seek revenge on Ling Yu. She asked quietly.
"He's fine. Won't die."
Ling Yu waved his hand dismissively.
He had held back most of his strength. Fugaku only suffered superficial injuries—no internal damage.
