Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 163 Yekura's Shock

"A look I've never seen before, and it wasn't specifically mentioned in your file. Is this what gives you the confidence to come back?"

Yekura looked at Chiga in surprise, the strange chakra fluctuations making her sense something was wrong.

As for Sage Mode, there are not many records in the major countries. After all, so far, it is only known that the First Hokage used Sage Mode.

The only record of Sage Mode is a brief mention in Konoha Village, and there are no clues about how to train for it.

It wasn't even recorded in the Book of Seals in Konoha.

As for the ninja villages of other major powers, needless to say, they might only be mentioned briefly in passing.

Yekura was obviously unaware of the existence of Sage Mode, but faced with Chiga's strange appearance...

As a skilled ninja, one naturally holds a sense of awe for the unknown.

Yekura held the kunai horizontally in front of her chest, with four fireballs swirling around her, maximizing her defense while also watching Chiga warily.

She didn't know what changes had occurred in Chiga, but she figured that since he had left the battlefield and returned, he must be confident that he could fight her again.

After entering Sage Mode, Chiga received a significant boost in all aspects.

A large amount of natural energy was transmitted from the shadow clone, greatly increasing the physical activity. Chiga felt that he should be able to overpower Yogura in close combat.

"Hizashi-senpai, leave the rest of the battle to me. I can still fight!"

"Be careful!"

Hyuga Hizashi observed Chiga's body through his Byakugan eyes. The immense Sage Chakra made him feel exceptionally powerful, and he realized that Chiga had undergone a qualitative change. He could no longer bring himself to tell Chiga to run away.

Moreover, he had already fought with Yekura, and if Chiga hadn't reappeared, he would have died at Yekura's hands long ago.

As Hyuga Hizashi left, Chiga turned her gaze to Yekura, her scarlet eyes and the corners of her eyes giving off an indescribable eeriness.

"Second half, begin!"

As soon as Chiga finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot, leaving only a lingering shadow.

So fast!

Upon seeing this, Ye Cang's pupils suddenly contracted, and he sensed that something was wrong. However, facing the rapidly approaching Chiga, he still said defiantly, "Just what I wanted!"

In a mere instant, Chiga had already arrived in front of Yekura.

Seeing this, Yekura waved her arms, and the fireballs around her flew towards Chiga from four angles under her control, cleverly blocking Chiga's path.

Meanwhile, the magatama in Chiga's eyes trembled rapidly, and in an instant, she discerned the trajectory of the fireball's attack.

Instead of retreating, he advanced, increasing his speed even further, narrowly avoiding the four fireballs. Then, the Gale in his hand transformed into a streak of cold light, aiming straight for Ye Cang's throat.

Despite the deadly blow, Yekura remained calm and, after reacting, used a kunai to block Chiga's attack.

Clang!

The wind and the kunai clashed, the crisp sound of metal striking metal accompanied by sparks flying everywhere.

Yecang felt a tremendous force coming from his kunai, and his body involuntarily retreated.

However, Chiga did not give up. He pressed his advantage and launched a series of attacks.

This kid has not only increased his speed, but also his strength!

Ye Cang was shocked.

Clang clang!

The two moved swiftly across the battlefield, their swords flashing and the wind howling.

Yekura was already a well-known strongman in Sunagakure, and she was protected by fireballs. Moreover, these four fireballs were so aggressive that if Chiga touched them, he would become a dried-up corpse due to the loss of moisture.

On the battlefield, she relied on this skill to move freely and fearlessly through the enemy ranks.

However, thanks to the Sage Mode, Chiga's overall strength increased several times over. Moreover, his Sharingan was also enhanced in Sage Mode, allowing him to observe the movement of the fireball and Yoruichiro.

The two were evenly matched for a time.

Chiga and Yekura moved nimbly across the battlefield, attracting the attention of all the Sand Ninja and Konoha Ninja.

Both ninjas slowed their attacks at the same time, seemingly waiting for the two to decide the victor.

Judging from the current situation, the battle between the two has become crucial to the outcome of this small-scale team fight.

"What an exciting close-quarters combat!"

"Lord Yekura's close combat skills are already at the limit of a Jonin, but I didn't expect that the boy on the other side could keep up."

"Who is this boy?"

"Uchiha Chika!"

"Damn it, are all the Uchiha clan members this strong? How could a brat beat Lady Pakura like this?!"

The Sand Ninja watched in astonishment as Chiga and Yekura engaged in close combat. As Yekura's subordinates, they knew her strength all too well, yet this young man was able to hold his own against Lady Yekura in close combat.

No, it can no longer be said that they are evenly matched. As time goes by, their Lord Yekura has fallen into a disadvantageous position.

Chiga's attacks became increasingly fierce, and the Gale in her hand seemed to transform into a beam of light.

In order to counter Chiga's attack, Yekura could only passively defend herself.

"Impossible?! What kind of technique did you use? How can you be so powerful?!"

Yekura, now at a disadvantage, stared at Chiga in disbelief.

However, the only response she received was the swift wind in Chiga's hand, one slash after another like a storm, while she was like a lonely sapling, letting Chiga whip her.

Each strike was incredibly powerful, its overwhelming force and sharp aura bringing her an indescribable sense of defeat.

"How is this possible? Lady Yekura... has actually fallen into a disadvantageous position!?"

"Are you kidding me? This is Lady Yekura!"

"Oh no! We must go and support Lady Yekura!"

"You wish!"

Chiga's domineering stance against Yekura greatly inspired the Konoha ninjas, and their morale soared, prompting them to rise up in resistance.

Morale is something that cannot be seen or touched on the battlefield, but it is undeniable that sometimes it is a key factor in determining the outcome of a battle.

In a short time, the Konoha ninjas actually turned the tide from a disadvantage to a slight advantage.

This can't go on!

Yecang also understood this principle. She was currently a banner for the Sand Ninja, and if she fell, they would all be devoured by the Konoha ninja.

Ye Cang gritted her teeth and suddenly raised her hands, causing the four fireballs protecting her to converge into one.

"Scorching Release: Steam Kill!"

At this moment, she gave up on defense, betting that Qianhe wouldn't risk his life to take her down with him.

The four fireballs merged into one enormous fireball, which crashed directly to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Chiga lightly touched the ground with her toes and left Yekura's side.

boom!

After the explosion, the land around Yekura was blown into pieces.
