Yuichi calmly looked at the Suna ninja.
The flames had all disappeared!!!
The Suna ninja didn't understand why the jutsu they had unleashed vanished so bizarrely.
What had Yuichi done? Why did it seem like a black hole had appeared in his palm, sucking in all the flames?
What kind of ability was that!
All the Suna ninja stared at Yuichi with wide eyes.
"Did that guy absorb all our flames?"
"Absorbing our ninjutsu? What is that ability?"
"I've been a ninja for over a decade, and I've never heard of such an ability."
A Suna jonin, who looked older and clearly had a wealth of combat experience, said in utter astonishment.
In this day and age, an ability that absorbs ninjutsu had never appeared.
For ninja, the idea that someone could absorb ninjutsu was simply too terrifying.
The power of a jutsu released by dozens of Suna ninja was unimaginably fearsome.
Yet, in the blink of an eye, it was easily absorbed by Yuichi.
Otsutsuki Isshiki's Kāma granted Yuichi the power to freely absorb any ninjutsu and its chakra, which could then be stored in his body to enhance his own chakra.
Sasori of the Red Sand also stared at Yuichi in shock.
This was his first time cooperating with Yuichi, and he never expected him to possess such a bizarre ability.
Absorbing another's ninjutsu—didn't that mean all ninjutsu-type attacks were completely useless against this guy?
Sasori's gaze towards Yuichi changed slightly.
This ability alone was enough for him to establish a foothold in the shinobi world.
Yuichi possessed powerful taijutsu and could also absorb ninjutsu.
He was an incredibly troublesome enemy for any ninja.
Now Sasori understood that Yuichi wasn't just a madman; he was an extremely difficult one.
If he were to fight Yuichi, Sasori would also feel wary.
It seemed there was no particularly good way to deal with him.
"Is your attack over?"
"Then it's my turn!"
After Yuichi finished speaking...
The Suna ninja, who had been shocked by Yuichi's instant absorption of their jutsu, snapped back to their senses. They didn't know what Yuichi was about to do, but it definitely wouldn't be easy to handle.
The scene that followed confirmed their thoughts.
BOOM!!
He raised his right hand towards the sky.
A red light flashed on Yuichi's arm, spiraling up his arm and converging in his palm.
A massive pillar of fire erupted, shooting straight into the sky.
An immense amount of chakra burst forth.
This chakra was the very chakra Yuichi had just absorbed.
He was now returning the Suna ninja's attack, but with his own chakra added to make it even more terrifying.
A pillar of fire shot into the sky.
Then, the flames around it spread out, like a blooming lotus.
They began to expand around the central pillar of fire.
The flames spread continuously in all directions.
As the flames grew more and more terrifying, the Suna ninja became increasingly panicked. Such a terrifying Fire Style jutsu... could this guy really cast it so easily by himself?!
"...A jutsu of this level... in an instant..."
"Just how vast is this guy's chakra reserve!"
"No, it's not just a matter of chakra! This guy didn't even use hand seals to cast the jutsu!"
After someone pointed this out, the other ninja suddenly realized this strange fact.
Why didn't Yuichi need hand seals to perform ninjutsu?
To be able to cast jutsu without hand seals... is this guy a monster?!
Even Sasori stared at Yuichi. Could it be that Yuichi had also modified his body into a puppet?
But it didn't look like it.
While these people were focused on the issue of hand seals, Yuichi gave a contemptuous smile.
Hand seals?
What are those?
Isn't ninjutsu something you just use?
He was an Otsutsuki Jinchuriki, possessing Otsutsuki Isshiki's Kāma.
For the Otsutsuki clan, hand seals?
Forget hand seals; they didn't even have the concept of "jutsu."
The ninja looked at the flames in Yuichi's hand with terror, feeling that this Fire Style jutsu was absurdly powerful.
But in Yuichi's eyes, it was just a release of chakra.
The giant fire lotus in Yuichi's hand was about to fully bloom.
The spreading flames covered nearly half of Sunagakure.
It contained not only the chakra Yuichi had absorbed, but also his own.
Looking at the size of the Fire Style jutsu, Yuichi estimated it should be enough to wipe out most of the Suna ninja before him in one go.
"Heh!"
"It's about ready. You'd better be prepared to receive this, Suna ninja!"
SWOOSH!
Yuichi swung his arm, sending the flames in his hand hurtling downwards.
The flames fell like a giant meteor, rapidly growing larger in the eyes of the Suna ninja.
In that instant, only one thought was in every ninja's mind.
Run!
Kankuro looked up as the flames descended.
Cold sweat dripped continuously from his forehead.
Faced with such a terrifying Fire Style attack, even if he tried to run now... it was too late!
BOOM!!!!
The falling flames exploded in the center of Sunagakure.
The fire roared, spreading in all directions like a tidal wave.
The shockwave from the impact boomed, instantly shattering the ground.
Immediately after, the flames spread, completely covering the earth.
Countless houses were destroyed in an instant.
BOOM... VMMMM...
Yuichi stood in place as the tide of fire spread out from his sides, the raging winds howling in all directions.
The power of this single Fire Style jutsu was somewhat beyond Yuichi's expectations.
It seemed not many people would be left alive.
Sasori watched the raging flames, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.
It was a good thing he hadn't been too far from Yuichi; otherwise, if he had been caught in those flames, this puppet body of his would have definitely been destroyed.
Sasori stood not far from Yuichi, secretly sizing him up.
'What in the world is this guy's ability?'
'To be able to cast such a terrifying jutsu without hand seals.'
Under the rampage of these flames, probably a fifth of Sunagakure was about to be destroyed.
Its power was completely comparable to a Tailed Beast!
Kisame was known as the Tailed Beast without a Tail, but in Sasori's eyes, Yuichi was like a Tailed Beast in human form!
Both were terrifying monsters!
After the flames had raged.
All the buildings in sight had been reduced to ruins.
Countless houses were destroyed, slowly vanishing in the great fire.
The ground was scorched black.
Corpses, burned beyond recognition, lay on the ground, emitting a foul, charred smell.
Sasori frowned. 'One hit... wiped them all out?!'
Yuichi also looked surprised. "Are they all dead?"
Hearing this, the corner of Sasori's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
"Oh! There's a survivor!"
Yuichi glanced at Kankuro, who had leaped out of the great fire and collapsed on the ground, unable to move.
He was also burned to a bloody pulp, a truly miserable sight.
At this moment, Kankuro's eyes were wide open, staring deadly at Yuichi.
His eyes were bloodshot. Right now, Kankuro wished he could devour Yuichi whole.
However, Yuichi's gaze didn't linger on him for long. He looked around.
There probably weren't many survivors left.
And there was certainly no one with the strength to pursue them.
It seemed both missions were more or less complete.
"Let's go, Sasori!"
