"Shattering the stadium wall with a single strike... The power of this attack... must be at least equivalent to an S-Rank Ninjutsu."
Seeing the power of Yagyu's strike, the Third Hokage's expression darkened.
"When I fought him, he didn't seem to have such terrifying strength." "Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to retreat unscathed back then." "But looking at it now, it doesn't quite make sense!" "How could he have improved his strength so much in such a short time?"
Konoha's White Fang was puzzled, unable to find an explanation no matter how much he thought about it.
"Opportunity!"
In the stadium, Fugaku Uchiha wasn't intimidated by Yagyu's powerful attack.
On the contrary, he seized the opportunity to use the Body Flicker Technique, appearing instantly in front of Yagyu.
Fugaku had already taken off his sunglasses. His spinning three-tomoe Sharingan locked gazes with Yagyu.
"Genjutsu: Shackling Stakes Technique!"
Fugaku used a Sharingan Genjutsu. A massive illusion enveloped Yagyu's mind.
Stone wedges slammed into his body one by one, pinning him in mid-air.
"Boring tricks!"
Yagyu used Elementalization to break the Genjutsu instantly, just in time to see Fugaku thrusting a kunai toward his chest.
"Using Genjutsu to create an opening to attack me? Useless!"
Yagyu looked at Fugaku with mockery. Your Genjutsu level isn't high enough!
Fugaku had thought that a Yagyu controlled by Genjutsu wouldn't be able to turn into light, which would be his chance to strike.
Unfortunately, the speed at which Yagyu broke the Genjutsu exceeded his imagination. In an instant, he unraveled Fugaku's signature illusion.
"Young Uchiha~" "Speed... is weight!"
"Have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?"
Seeing Fugaku's kunai pass harmlessly through his body, Yagyu calmly raised his long leg. Golden light particles gathered on his foot and leg.
"Crap!"
Seeing the golden light flashing in front of him, Fugaku screamed internally.
Yagyu's long leg, wrapped in golden light particles, slowly approached Fugaku, then accelerated abruptly the moment it got close. With an explosive thrust, he kicked Fugaku flying.
Boom!
Fugaku's body flew back wretchedly, smashing into a nearby stadium wall, causing cracks to appear on the remaining structure.
"Substitution Jutsu?"
Yagyu looked with interest at the log on the cracked wall—the wooden replacement from the jutsu.
Fugaku had used the Substitution Jutsu at the critical moment; what Yagyu had kicked away was merely a log.
Crack!
The log on the wall shattered loudly. Unable to withstand the force of Yagyu's light-speed kick, it broke into tiny splinters.
"To be able to use Substitution in such a short time... truly terrifying~"
"Young Uchiha~" "Do you think hiding underground will let you avoid my attacks?"
Yagyu spoke nonchalantly, glancing sideways at the ground nearby. He raised his hand and pointed a finger in that direction.
A golden laser beam shot out from his hand.
The golden light condensed into an arrow, slamming ruthlessly into the ground and triggering an earth-shattering explosion.
The blast from the laser created a massive shockwave that compressed the ground.
Hiding underground, Fugaku felt the earth squeezing in on him. Not wanting to be crushed into a meat patty, he had no choice but to jump out.
Laser, laser, laser...Dodge, dodge, dodge...
Yagyu tapped his finger playfully, firing golden laser beams one after another. Fugaku dodged them wretchedly.
"I heard the Sharingan has the ability to predict others' movements." "Dodging in time every single time... did you predict the direction of my attacks?" "The Sharingan... truly a powerful Kekkei Genkai." "The Uchiha Clan... what a terrifying family indeed~"
Yagyu spoke with a sigh of emotion. The power of the Sharingan and the Uchiha clan was undeniable.
Several big shots of the Uchiha clan, relying on those breathtaking eyeballs, had forcefully turned the "Tale of Ninja Guts" into the "Legend of Eyes."
"Damn it!"
Fugaku stared at Yagyu furiously. Yagyu's 'praise' sounded incredibly piercing to his ears.
The Uchiha clan is terrifying?The Sharingan is powerful?
Fugaku Uchiha had indeed thought so in the past.
However, after witnessing Yagyu's Glint-Glint Fruit abilities, Fugaku suddenly realized that the Sharingan, which his clan had always taken such pride in, was actually... just okay.
Was the Sharingan powerful?
Instant Genjutsu through eye contact, the ability to perceive movements in slow motion, seeing chakra, powerful kinetic vision, copying ninjutsu and taijutsu, browsing memories...
Every single ability was outstanding. An ordinary ninja might spend their entire life and still fail to master a secret technique with just one of these functions.
Yet, relying on their superior bloodline, the Uchiha clan only needed to awaken this powerful Kekkei Genkai to possess these bug-like skills.
The Sharingan was indeed powerful!
Fugaku Uchiha had awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan at a young age and had always regarded this Kekkei Genkai as the pride of himself and his clan.
But... people die when compared to people, and goods are thrown away when compared to goods.
Compared to the special abilities Yagyu displayed, the Sharingan was instantly reduced to trash.
Just the ability to emit light and block the enemy's vision could instantly reduce an unprepared Uchiha to dust.
Even if sunglasses could resist the intense light, the Sharingan's most powerful deterrent skill—Instant Genjutsu—was sealed.
A Sharingan behind sunglasses could no longer cast Genjutsu through eye contact.
The dark lenses blocked the pattern of the Sharingan. If others couldn't see the eyes, how could the Genjutsu be activated?
Although the Instant Genjutsu was gone, the Sharingan remained formidable due to its powerful insight. But Yagyu's Glint-Glint Fruit ability wasn't just about emitting light!
Fugaku felt that Yagyu's ability to turn his body into light alone was enough to surpass the Uchiha's Sharingan.
This ability allowed Yagyu to ignore all physical and ninjutsu attacks; its practical effect was simply god-tier.
Moreover, judging from Yagyu's earlier performance, he possessed immense immunity to Genjutsu, breaking free from illusions with flying speed.
Fugaku just couldn't be sure if Yagyu's ability to break or even be immune to Genjutsu was related to his light-emitting ability.
