On the other battlefield, unlike the lively fight between Orochimaru and Jiraiya, the battle between Yakushi Kabuto and Uchiha Jinsuke was much more subdued.
They fought hand to hand, the struggle taking place in a small area. They traded blows back and forth, somehow managing to keep the fight even.
It wasn't that Yakushi Kabuto didn't want to take down his opponent quickly, but with the Blood Wheel Eye present, the sudden speed of 'Inorganic Reincarnation' was only comparable to ordinary Earth Release. To use 'White Passion Technique' again would cost too much and not be worth it. After the opponent was prepared, the chance of success was not high.
Considering all this, relying on the physique strengthened by 'Sage Mode' was more worthwhile.
Moreover, Yakushi Kabuto had long wanted to repay the opponent in kind, using his own methods against him.
Bang, bang, bang...
The sound of fierce collisions between fists and feet echoed through the forest.
Uchiha Jinsuke fought and retreated, the Blood Wheel Eye spinning rapidly, pushed to its limit, bringing out the best of Uchiha Clan's exquisite hand-to-hand combat skills.
However, Yakushi Kabuto was faster than him, his strength was more fierce, and even his defense and recovery were a bit stronger.
Uchiha Jinsuke wanted to fight Kabuto head-on as he had done before, but he soon realized that he was at a disadvantage.
In terms of hand-to-hand combat skills, Kabuto was no match for him, but when he punched the opponent, nothing happened. When he blocked a kick, the force made his muscles ache and his movements almost distorted.
The more he fought, the more frustrated Uchiha Jinsuke became. This pride of the Uchiha Clan was tasting the pain of being crushed by an opponent with unreasonable advantages.
Gradually, Uchiha Jinsuke began to focus on dodging and then looking for opportunities to counterattack.
This was the way to win, the best choice after rational judgment, but facing Yakushi Kabuto, Uchiha Jinsuke was angry and couldn't calm down, unable to put his strategy into action.
"If we switched places, your performance wouldn't be as good as mine."
Yakushi Kabuto kicked Uchiha Jinsuke away with a sweeping leg. He stood still, a smile on his face.
"With your current mindset, you will soon die in my hands."
A flash of anger crossed Uchiha Jinsuke's eyes. He was about to say something, but Yakushi Kabuto interrupted him directly.
"Since the outcome is destined, let it come sooner."
Yakushi Kabuto licked his lips, formed hand seals, but didn't release them, instead leaping forward.
Uchiha Jinsuke's eyes narrowed, sensing great danger. He flipped his hand and took out several throwing stars from his ninja pouch.
Swish, swish, swish...
The throwing stars shot out quickly, but the sound of them cutting through the air stopped abruptly.
From under Yakushi Kabuto, earth and stone formed tentacles, like soldiers guarding their leader, destroying all enemies.
Guarded by the earth and stone tentacles, Yakushi Kabuto attacked Uchiha Jinsuke.
The stone tentacles, combined with fists and feet, formed waves of fierce attacks, forcing Uchiha Jinsuke to hold his head and run.
Using 'Inorganic Reincarnation' as a large-scale attack was powerful, but not accurate enough, and against ninja with eye skills, it could be easily avoided.
But if it was limited to a certain area, the speed could be further increased. However, Yakushi Kabuto was not yet skilled in this fighting method, and he needed to maintain the hand seals. Facing experts of the same level, there was still the possibility of being counterattacked and seriously injured.
But based on Uchiha Jinsuke's performance just now, he estimated that with his physique in Sage Mode, he could withstand it.
The opponent might be able to hurt him, but after that moment, it would be at the cost of serious injury or death.
Bang, bang, bang!
Uchiha Jinsuke used the trees in the forest as shields, twisting and turning his body, using the Blood Wheel Eye's insight to its limit.
If it were any other elite ninja, they would have already been defeated and killed.
But Uchiha Jinsuke was still not satisfied. He wanted more than just to survive. He wanted to reverse the disadvantage and even defeat Yakushi Kabuto.
The Blood Wheel Eye spun rapidly, with strange red light flashing in his eyes.
Bang!
Using a large tree to dodge the whip of the tentacles, Uchiha Jinsuke instantly shot out throwing stars, more than twenty of them. They collided with each other in the air, changing their flight paths, like a large net covering Yakushi Kabuto from all directions.
The timing was excellent, just as Yakushi Kabuto was about to attack, before he could build up new strength.
But Yakushi Kabuto put his right hand against his left hand in front of his chest, and more earth tentacles broke out of the ground, trying to knock away the throwing stars one by one.
At this moment, Yakushi Kabuto was like a peacock spreading its tail, a blooming flower. Protected by the tentacles, he revealed a flaw in the center.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
In an instant, a ball of blazing fire shot out of Uchiha Jinsuke's mouth, heading straight for Yakushi Kabuto with great momentum.
After weighing the pros and cons, two tentacles pulled back and went straight for the fireball, while the other tentacles did their best to stop the throwing stars. At the same time, Yakushi Kabuto stepped heavily on the ground and dodged to the right.
Boom!
The fireball exploded, and the remaining flames flew in the opposite direction, but a figure shot out from it.
Uchiha Jinsuke, holding a short sword, stabbed straight at Yakushi Kabuto, who was in the air and unable to dodge.
Watching Uchiha Jinsuke pass by the stone tentacles, his eyebrows and hair burned by the flames, Yakushi Kabuto had a realization.
This guy predicted his response and rushed over the moment he released the Great Fireball Technique.
Although the Great Fireball was scattered, the remaining flames were not easy to withstand. With Uchiha's small body, a mistake could mean serious injury.
Using such a reckless strategy, just to stab him with a sword? Was he so unwilling to admit defeat?
Yakushi Kabuto found it somewhat funny.
But Uchiha Jinsuke had miscalculated one thing. Sage Arts were not ordinary ninjutsu. Although more difficult to master, they were also more flexible once truly mastered.
Although he couldn't create another tentacle, he could pull back the ones he had already created. The cost was just being stabbed by the throwing stars.
However, just as Yakushi Kabuto was about to knock away the reckless Uchiha Jinsuke,
The air suddenly twisted, and a masked man popped his upper body out of a swirl, reaching his hand toward the target.
Yakushi Kabuto's expression darkened, no longer as calm as before, because the masked man's target was not him, but the unsuspecting Uchiha Jinsuke.
Falling into that other dimension was almost certainly death.
So Yakushi Kabuto acted without hesitation, advancing instead of retreating, using the tentacles as leverage to rush toward Uchiha Jinsuke.
Focused on the enemy in front of him, Jinsuke did not sense the strangeness behind him, his energy completely focused on this sword.
Seeing Yakushi Kabuto's movement, he instinctively adjusted the direction of the short sword.
Without any resistance, the short sword pierced through his chest. His goal was not Yakushi Kabuto's heart, but to seriously injure him, perhaps also as a counterattack against Yakushi Kabuto's mockery.
Now that his goal was achieved, he felt very happy, but the next moment, he was kicked away by Yakushi Kabuto.
After flying into the air, before hitting a tree, the Blood Wheel Eye spun rapidly, and he saw Yakushi Kabuto being grabbed by a masked man and disappearing into the swirl.
