"What?!"

Seeing Yu in front of them, with just a casual wave of his sleeve, release a powerful Ninjutsu that took down a group of ninjas, the surrounding Grass Ninjas were instantly shocked and stopped in their tracks, not daring to approach.

"So... so powerful..."

Karin, standing in the crowd, had also snapped out of her initial shock and confusion. She realized that the handsome white-haired boy in front of her couldn't possibly be some deity. However, seeing Yu effortlessly wield such immense power still left her deeply shaken.

"Wait! This... this guy?!"

At that moment, countless ninjas were facing off against Yu. One of the Grass Ninjas seemed to have realized something incredibly terrifying. Suddenly, he widened his eyes and exclaimed in shock, "This guy looks like Scarlet Yu from Konoha!!"

"What?!"

"Konoha's Scarlet Yu? The guy who can supposedly fight thousands single-handedly?!"

"Didn't they say he had left Konoha? Why is he suddenly here?!"

Hearing their comrade's exclamation, countless Grass Ninjas around them began to stir, their faces showing panic. Clearly, the name Scarlet Yu instilled a deep sense of fear in them.

Scarlet Yu?

In the crowd, Karin looked confused. She was too young to understand why the mention of this name caused the ninjas to react as if they had seen a ghost.

"Gulp... It really does seem to be the legendary one..."

Staring at Yu, who was now surrounded, as if he were a monstrous beast, the middle-aged Grass Ninja standing next to Karin swallowed hard and trembled as he spoke, "Someone like you... Sir... why have you come here to trouble our Grass Ninja Village?!"

"..."

Faced with the questioning gazes of so many ninjas present, Yu remained silent for a moment, seemingly pondering carefully before finally coming up with a suitable reason. "Just bored, passing by to kill time."

Bored...?!

Upon hearing Yu's response, all the Grass Ninjas present were dumbfounded. After recovering from their shock, their faces flushed red with anger, almost losing their rationality.

"What... what kind of joke is this?!"

"Just because of such a ridiculous reason... you've killed so many of our ninjas!"

The middle-aged Grass Ninja standing next to Karin couldn't bear it any longer. He instantly drew a kunai from his ninja tool pouch and charged forward. Dozens of ninjas around him followed suit, swiftly closing in on Yu in the center.

"Kill him! We have so many ninjas here!"

"Who cares about Scarlet Yu! No matter how powerful he is, he's just a teenager!"

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

Seeing Yu alone in front of them while their side had hundreds of ninjas, except for those injured and lying on the ground, all the Grass Ninjas around gathered their courage and charged towards Yu in the face of this huge numerical gap.

"Don't be foolish..."

"If overwhelming numbers were effective, I would have died hundreds of times in the Ninja World War."

Facing the countless ninjas charging towards him, Yu didn't even furrow his brow. He simply snapped his fingers, opening the gate to Kaio's dimensional space, while Michael's Protective Barrier shielded him from all the flying shuriken and incoming ninjutsu.

Hell Stab: Four-Finger Nukite!!

At the same time, Kaio, enveloped in a berserk lightning shield, burst out of the dimensional space as a bolt of lightning. With his sharp and fierce Hell Stab, he blasted all the ninjas in front of him flying, skewering several Grass Ninjas in one strike.

Extreme Ice Kill!!

Toshogun, transformed into an Ice Devil through Elementalization, showed no mercy. The surrounding air condensed heavily as countless gigantic ice spikes rained down like a storm, smashing all the ninjas around into shattered ice sculptures as they hit the ground!

Bang!!

The last few Grass Ninjas attempting to bypass Michael's Protective Barrier and get close to Yu were directly slammed to the ground by Michael's Barrier Impact, crushing them into a bloody mess.

"Evil... Devil..."

In just a few breaths' time, all of his comrades around him had been killed by Yu's manipulation of Puppets. The middle-aged Grass Ninja who had been the first to charge from Karin's side was completely shattered, standing dumbfoundedly in place, his legs trembling violently. "He's not human! This guy is a Devil!!"

"Devil? I quite like it when people call me that..."

Hearing the middle-aged Grass Ninja's address, Yu couldn't help but think of the Devil within him, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. With a playful smirk on his lips, he said, "But if we're going on a trip, where would you like to go?"

"What... what?!"

The middle-aged Grass Ninja, already stunned by Yu, couldn't comprehend what Yu had said. Before he could react, a tall, burly figure had already appeared before him out of nowhere, with a massive, fan-like hand raised high!

Space Transfer!!

It was Tyrant summoned by Yu from within the dimensional space, utilizing the instant movement displayed by the Paw Fruit to displace the air around his body, leaving the middle-aged Grass Ninja utterly unable to react.

"Bang!!"

Following a brief collision sound, everyone saw the middle-aged Grass Ninja standing in front of Yu disappear in an instant. His entire body was surrounded by a shockwave in the shape of a bear's paw. Tyrant directly transformed him into a shooting star with a single slap, disappearing into the distant sky.

"He... he's been Flight Slapped..."

Watching the middle-aged Grass Ninja, who had been using Uzumaki Clan's physical healing ability to treat many ninjas, being Flight Slapped by Yu into the sky and disappearing like a shooting star, Karin, standing not far from Yu, couldn't help but open her mouth wide, feeling like she was in a dream.

"That guy just now has been Flight Slapped by Tyrant to the other side of the world, so you'll never see him again in your lifetime."

Looking at the stunned and bewildered young girl Karin in front of him, Yu curved a slight smile, his gaze falling on her bright and vibrant red hair. "What's your name? Judging by the color of your hair, you must be a child of the Uzumaki Clan, right?"

"I... I'm Uzumaki Karin..."

Seeing Yu display miraculous strength, swiftly dispatching so many ninjas, and even Flight Slapping that Grass Ninja who had been bullying her and her mother out of this world with a slap, young Karin, who had never seen such a powerful and handsome ninja in her life, blushed when she heard him ask for her name.

Indeed, she is Uzumaki Karin...

Hearing the red-haired girl in front of him reveal her name, Yu finally confirmed her identity.

But this little girl seems to have a crush a bit too early...

However, seeing Karin's shy and bashful demeanor, occasionally stealing glances at him, Yu couldn't help but find it amusing.

But it's not surprising. In the anime, during the Chunin Exams when Karin, participating as a Grass Ninja from the Land of Grass, got separated from her companions and was attacked by a bear, she was saved by Uchiha Sasuke who happened to be passing by to fetch water. Meeting Sasuke for the first time, she was instantly infatuated, proving that children in this world mature too early.
