Yuuki would never do anything that offered no benefit, especially for people he had no connection to.
He even felt it was a waste of breath to speak.
Yet, at that time, Yuuki had wasted his ocular power for it!
Yuuki, who was rarely swayed by emotions, thought of many reasons, but dismissed them one by one.
Yuuki felt that many of his actions during this period did not align with his cheerful and sunny personality, or his pure and kind-hearted persona!
Looking back, Yuuki realized that the two previous incidents were also somewhat out of character for him.
After much thought, he still couldn't figure out what was wrong and returned to the original question.
Why should a woman who wasn't even a Ninja make him waste his ocular power?
Yuuki, still deep in thought, suddenly saw his pupils contract, and his breathing hitched.
Yuuki then left money in the room and quietly departed the inn.
Soon, Yuuki ran to a desolate mountain.
Looking at the towering mountain, Yuuki was very satisfied.
"You're the one!"
Without any flashy moves, Yuuki honestly formed the hand signs he hadn't used in a long time.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
Five Yuukis stood side by side, with the original in the middle.
"Let's begin!"
At Yuuki's command, all five simultaneously formed hand signs.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!" x 5
Five flames erupted from Yuuki's mouth, then transformed into a massive, sky-obscuring wall of fire in the distance.
Just by its intensity, it already surpassed the Great Fire Annihilation from his memory, at least three times as powerful.
After all, with five people attacking simultaneously, if it still couldn't compare, Yuuki might as well forget his plans and just find a place to hide.
The scorching flames were blocked by the enormous mountain, spreading along the rock face, but eventually completely contained by the mountain.
The flames were blocked, but the firelight still soared over the mountain and into the sky.
In a small village tens of kilometers away from the mountain, early-rising villagers unexpectedly caught a glimpse of the anomaly on the mountain.
News quickly spread by word of mouth, and soon the entire village was drawn to it.
The entire mountain was bathed in red light, appearing extraordinarily mystical, like a miracle!
Experienced elders immediately thought it might be a mountain fire, then remembered that the mountain was a famous bald mountain, nothing but rocks, making a mountain fire impossible.
They then wondered if there were Ninja adults fighting there. It was rare to see Ninja in the Land of Iron, but there were always some restless people who had ventured out, so they immediately dismissed the possibility of Ninja.
Though those Ninja adults were extraordinary, they were not much stronger than the Samurai adults of the Land of Iron; no Ninja could cause such a commotion.
Finally, they unanimously concluded that a god must have descended upon that mountain!
Meanwhile, on the mountain.
Yuuki continued his output. Midway, Yuuki felt a strong sense of being watched, but it disappeared after only a moment.
That familiar feeling, Yuuki knew, was because his Heavenly Eye had just been fixated on him.
He didn't pay too much attention, remaining focused on the task at hand.
"Bang, bang, bang...."
As the Shadow Clones vanished, Yuuki felt exceptionally fatigued, and the Great Fire Annihilation also reduced its range, with only the central part still continuing.
However, Yuuki didn't last much longer, and finally, the flames from his mouth also ran out of power and began to extinguish.
Looking at the mountain at this point, there was a massive circular black ring around it.
Closer to the center, besides being even darker, there were also crystalline parts that displayed colorful hues under the sunlight, like stars in the night sky.
And the small area at the very center had become crystal clear, shimmering with iridescent light, like a giant gem under the sunlight.
It was just the irregular streaks below, like glistening tears, that marred its beauty.
Overall, it was still quite striking and beautiful.
Yuuki looked at his masterpiece, smiling very happily.
Not only because he was the creator of this spectacle.
More importantly, although Yuuki was extremely tired at this moment, his mind was exceptionally clear.
It was as if the gloom that had enveloped him had been completely swept away, and he was once again bathed in sunlight.
Recalling his experiences during this period, Yuuki could clearly perceive that many times, he had acted as if possessed, purely based on his preferences and emotions.
Not only did it not fit his persona, but it was also foolish!
He had done more things that offered no benefit than in his previous twenty years!
When did he gradually start becoming emotional?
Yuuki slowly recalled, eventually pinpointing the time after returning from Orochimaru's base.
He remembered how he had overconfidently tried to probe the entity behind Natsuri, only to end up with a loss.
Was it then?
Through Natsuri, was even I targeted?
At this moment, Yuuki couldn't help but feel fortunate. How wonderful, I am not alone after all!
At this time, Yuuki did not feel there was any problem with Shisui's actions.
Well done, Shisui!
Hmm, Natsuri and Mina were also nice, and although Takuma didn't go to Shisui, he must have contributed as well.
Indeed, at any time, only family and true friends will stand by your side.
Recalling how he was targeted without any awareness, if not for someone reminding him, he would have likely been completely changed step by step.
Yuuki's face broke into an incomparably brilliant smile, more so than ever before.
"What a clever method!"
