"Hmph, what a weak bunch."
After glancing at the fallen members of the Tyrant Blade Gang, Uchiha Daishi let out a cold sneer. Then he raised his head and locked eyes with Iwagiu atop the city wall.
"Who are you people?!"
Iwagiu stepped forward, glaring down at Daishi and the others.
"We're the ones here to drive you out."
Daishi replied calmly.
So these brats want to take over Kawasaki Town…
The force behind them must be no simple faction.
Iwagiu thought to himself.
The next moment—
He leapt into the air.
"Don't underestimate us, you little brats!"
With a furious roar, he flung his hand forward—
A storm of shuriken filled the air.
The Uchiha youths scattered instantly, dodging the incoming barrage.
Whoosh!
A sharp gust struck Daishi's face—
Iwagiu had already appeared in front of him.
A cold blade flashed.
He swung his katana straight down.
Iron Body!
At the critical moment—
Daishi had no time to dodge.
He could only harden his body and take the hit head-on.
Clang!
The blade struck—
But instead of cutting flesh—
It felt like hitting solid stone.
Daishi slid backward several meters.
A white mark appeared where the blade had landed.
Big brother definitely wouldn't be satisfied with that…
His gaze hardened.
At that moment—
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three kunai flew toward him—
Each tagged with explosive seals.
Daishi quickly retreated.
More explosive kunai followed—
Forcing the other Uchiha youths back as well.
They had been closing in—
Now their formation was disrupted.
"Water Style: Great Spout Technique!"
A shout rang out—
A rogue ninja leapt into the air and unleashed a massive torrent.
The Uchiha youths were forced back—
And Iwagiu's group retreated to the wall again.
"One of them… might be at Chūnin level."
A young Uchiha said beside Daishi.
"Just Chūnin?"
Daishi's gaze turned cold.
"Don't forget—"
"The Leader is watching us."
"We are his personal guard."
The next instant—
He stomped down hard—
BOOM!
His body shot upward like a cannonball—
Straight toward the wall.
Finger Gun: Siege Ram!
He threw a punch—
All his force condensed into his fist.
A devastating, explosive strike.
"Earth Style: Earth Wall!"
Iwagiu hastily formed hand seals.
A wall of earth rose instantly.
BOOM!!!
The punch landed—
The wall shattered completely.
At the same time—
Several figures appeared around him.
Five Uchiha youths followed closely—
Launching powerful kicks at Iwagiu's group.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Violent collisions echoed.
Three enemy figures were sent flying—
Crashing into the surrounding walls.
Blades flashed—
Forcing the Uchiha youths to retreat momentarily.
Seizing the opening—
Iwagiu leapt high into the air—
Breaking out of the encirclement.
Trying to run?!
"Not happening!"
Daishi immediately gave chase—
Jumping above him—
Then—
A powerful downward kick!
"Damn brat!"
Iwagiu roared, slashing upward.
But—
At the last second—
Daishi's body twisted at an unnatural angle—
Dodging the blade entirely.
His kick landed cleanly—
BOOM!
Iwagiu was sent flying.
"Wind Style: Wind Cutter!"
Suddenly—
A sharp gust sliced through the air—
Like an invisible blade.
Daishi twisted midair—
Barely avoiding the main attack.
He landed on the ground.
His clothes—
Were shredded in multiple places.
He looked up—
Toward the source of the attack.
A large, muscular man had arrived—
Landing beside Iwagiu.
At the same time—
More figures rushed out from the city—
Gathering behind him.
"Iwagiu…"
The man glanced down at him.
"You've really outdone yourself."
"Getting pushed this far by a bunch of kids?"
