Chapter 11 – Anbu
Uchiha Han was sent flying, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth!
This was the price he paid for underestimating Yuyoru's "Tremor Force" and attempting to confront him with taijutsu.
Even a Chunin couldn't handle it!
"This can't be happening! What kind of power is this?!"
Uchiha Han was horrified, trying to stabilize himself as he fell, but his body was numb from the shockwave, and he couldn't regain his footing.
Thud!
Uchiha Han awkwardly hit the ground, his body still trembling violently.
The scene fell into silence, disbelief hanging in the air.
A Chunin from the Uchiha clan had been sent flying by Yuyoru, who was clearly just a child, and he was injured?!
How could this be possible?
"Am I dreaming?" one onlooker whispered, while another murmured, "The Uchiha clan... shouldn't be this weak!"
Countless eyes were fixed on Uchiha Han, who lay dazed on the ground, and Yuyoru, who had retracted his fist with an air of calm confidence.
It was simply beyond comprehension.
If Uchiha Han had sent Yuyoru flying with a punch, it would have been normal, but the reverse was almost unbelievable!
Uchiha Han lay there, still trying to process the fact that he had been sent flying by Yuyoru's punch.
When he finally came to his senses, facing the gazes around him, he felt a surge of anger.
"Damn it, you little brat, how dare you..."
Being sent flying by a kid like Yuyoru and spitting blood was an extreme humiliation for him. He might never be able to hold his head high in the Uchiha clan again, forever mocked by others.
In his fury, a murderous intent finally appeared on Uchiha Han's face.
He had only wanted to teach Yuyoru a lesson.
But now, he wanted to eliminate this insolent child!
Driven by rage, Uchiha Han made his move. This time, he didn't use taijutsu but formed hand seals with both hands, unleashing ninjutsu.
He was determined to take down Yuyoru, not caring that this was the main street of Konoha.
"Fire Style! Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!!"
With that, he unleashed a B-rank Fire Style ninjutsu!
This technique was far beyond the Great Fireball; the terrifying flames coalesced into a visible form, resembling a fire dragon that would incinerate everything in its path, charging straight at Yuyoru.
Wherever it passed, the ground seemed to crack from the intense heat.
"Not good!"
"Is he crazy? Using this level of ninjutsu here!"
The crowd gasped and quickly retreated; most of them were ninjas and could easily avoid it.
As the flames surged, a subtle shift in the air caught the attention of a nearby Anbu, who had been observing the scene from the shadows. A flicker of Sharingan glinted in the dim light, sensing the rising chakra and the impending danger.
Seeing this scene, Yuyoru took a sharp breath.
He couldn't possibly block this level of ninjutsu, nor could he evade it.
If Uchiha Han had used ninjutsu from the start instead of underestimating him, Yuyoru would have likely been defeated in an instant.
However, at this moment, facing the overwhelming fire technique, Yuyoru showed no signs of fear. Instead, he remained calm, glancing around.
It was time for those guys to make their move.
Whoosh!!
In the next instant, a shadow appeared in front of Yuyoru, quickly forming hand seals against the incoming fire technique.
"Water Style! Water Barrier!!"
Splash!
Water surged wildly, forming a wave that stood like a wall.
The Fire Dragon Flame Bullet collided with the water, producing a sizzling sound and rising a large cloud of white mist, ultimately vanishing without a trace.
The water then quickly dispersed, disappearing from sight.
"Uchiha Han! Do you realize the consequences of engaging in a private fight in Konoha?!" a cold voice rang out.
The shadow standing in front of Yuyoru was none other than a masked Anbu!
The Anbu, also known as the Special Assassination and Tactical Unit, is directly under the Hokage and cannot be mobilized by anyone else.
They are responsible for various assassination missions outside and also for the internal security of Konoha.
This is a truly elite force, even above the Uchiha clan's Konoha Police Force!
Using a large-scale attack ninjutsu like the Fire Dragon Flame Bullet within Konoha, even if it wasn't aimed at Yuyoru, was not permitted.
Seeing the Anbu appear, Uchiha Han, despite his murderous intent, had to suppress it; he didn't dare act recklessly in front of the Anbu.
"What crime do I have?"
"Private fights are prohibited within Konoha!" the Anbu stated firmly, fixing his gaze on Uchiha Han.
Uchiha Han's anger gradually subsided, but his eyes still held malice as he glanced at Yuyoru and replied, "I am one of the squad leaders of the Konoha Police Force. I heard that Yuyoru might be connected to enemy village scouts, so I wanted to take him to the police for questioning."
Huh?!
Everyone was momentarily stunned by this statement.
Yuyoru cursed inwardly at the shamelessness.
No wonder this guy dared to act so brazenly in the street; he had already found a reason. The Konoha Police Force was essentially the private army of the Uchiha clan.
It was clear he was using his power to oppress others.
The onlookers exchanged glances, some showing disdain, but they were too afraid of the Uchiha clan's reputation to speak out.
This was the tyranny of the Uchiha clan!
The Anbu, seeing this, could only respond coolly, "Do you have any evidence?"
"That seems to have nothing to do with your Anbu," Uchiha Han replied, his tone icy.
The Anbu's expression hidden beneath the mask darkened considerably.
"But if you want to arrest someone directly, you probably need the Hokage's permission first," the Anbu said, maintaining a steady demeanor.
In fact, whether it was Danzo's Root or Sarutobi Hiruzen's Anbu, they often targeted the Uchiha clan, intentionally or unintentionally.
He was one of the Anbu sent by Sarutobi Hiruzen specifically to monitor the Uchiha clan.
A child like Yuyoru, who had no background and was from an outside village, had no right to expect protection from the Anbu.
The only reason they were targeting Uchiha Han was to suppress the Uchiha clan.
The onlookers were also aware of this, having witnessed many confrontations between the Anbu and the Konoha Police Force in Konoha before.
"In urgent matters, we must act. What if Yuyoru is a spy and he escapes if we delay?" Uchiha Han said with a smirk.
By bringing up the Konoha Police Force, he effectively represented the Uchiha clan, so even in front of the Anbu, his tone became much firmer.
The Anbu ninja frowned, but he clearly couldn't allow Uchiha Han to achieve his goal so easily.
"This matter is suspicious. I believe it requires the Hokage's personal decision."
