The Black Blade Katana...

Facing the black blade that almost pierced right in front of his eyes, Yu didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.

To him, such a sudden ambush was nothing more than a boring joke in the presence of his Observation Haki.

In the critical moment, Yu, like a prophet, casually leaned his body slightly to evade the black blade's assassination. At the same time, he reached out and grabbed the owner of the black blade, kicking forcefully.

"Bang!!"

Countless crows and black feathers disappeared in an instant.

The Ninja who attempted to assassinate Yu was kicked by him, resembling a shell filled with gunpowder, directly flying and crashing into the trunk of a nearby tree. Numerous leaves showered down from the impact.

"Raido!!"

Witnessing the Ninja who had just attempted to assassinate Yu being instantly kicked away, the person slouched down from the tree trunk to the ground, seemingly losing all combat capability in an instant.

After witnessing this scene, the ANBU Ninja who summoned the crows exclaimed and gritted his teeth, drawing a Kunai and rushing towards Yu.

"Raido Namiashi and Yamashiro Aoba, huh..."

"Just the two of you who have recently become Special Jonin dare to directly attack me without knowing your limits?!"

After casually kicking away the ANBU Special Jonin who had just ambushed him, Yu, based on their attack styles, had already identified their identities. It was none other than Konoha's Special Jonin Raido Namiashi and Yamashiro Aoba, often operating together with Shiranui Genma.

Especially Raido Namiashi, who served as the bodyguard of the Hokage in the anime, was one of Konoha's few skilled assassins. His preferred weapon was the black blade katana with a poisonous edge. When combined with Yamashiro Aoba's crows, they were known as the duo from whom 'no one could escape.'

"Rabbit Hair Needle!!"

However, as Yamashiro Aoba rapidly approached with Kunai in hand, Yu stood motionless, showing no signs of any action.

Countless extremely fine threads burst out into the air, aided by Observation Haki, accurately piercing the meridian points on Yamashiro Aoba's body, instantly sealing his movements.

"What's going on?!"

"Why can't I move my body?!"

Yamashiro Aoba, who rushed forward, felt a numbness throughout his body. He suddenly found himself standing as if under a spell, unable to move. The eyes behind his mask widened in fear.

"Bang!!"

A muffled collision sound rang out. Before the immobilized Yamashiro Aoba could react, a black Ninja sandal had infinitely enlarged in front of him.

He was sent flying with a forceful kick, crashing into the trunk of a nearby tree, and sliding down slowly to the ground. He lay side by side with his companion, Raido Namiashi.

"People can embrace hope because they cannot see death."

In a breathless moment, three Special Jonin were instantly defeated. Without even sparing a glance at Gekko Hayate, lying with a contorted face in front of him, Yu directly stepped over his body and walked towards Yugao.

"If something similar happens again... I wouldn't mind making a few of you disappear from this world completely."

While saying this, Yu casually glanced at Raido Namiashi and Yamashiro Aoba, who were lying under a large tree. The majestic battlefield aura emanating from him, having returned from the battle, seemed to be revealed unintentionally.

With Yu's current strength, dealing with these individuals who had just stepped into the Special Jonin level didn't even require summoning the Devil Puppet.

If it weren't for being currently under the surveillance of Konoha ANBU, Yu could, if he wished, dismiss these three individuals from the world with a single slap from him, without summoning the Devil Puppets.

"Let's go, Yugao."

After saying that, Yu awakened Yugao, who was standing motionless, and left the spacious training ground without looking back.

"So terrifying... the killing intent..."

"Is this the strength of Scarlet Yu? It's on a completely different level from us..."

Watching Yu's departing figure and sensing the overwhelming killing intent that was inadvertently revealed in his casual glance, Raido Namiashi and Yamashiro Aoba, lying under the tree, couldn't help but exchange glances, both noticing the cold sweat seeping from each other.

Uzuki Yugao sighed as she looked at Gekko Hayate lying on the ground, then promptly followed Yu in the direction he left.

"Damn it..."

Gekko Hayate, paralyzed on the ground, roared in anger.

...

"Yu, don't be angry."

"Hayate has always been like this since childhood—individualistic, only recognizing what he believes is right."

Yugao had already returned home, changed out of her ANBU attire into a white dress. She glanced nervously at Yu, as if worried that he might still be upset about what happened earlier.

"Do I seem like such a petty person?"

Seeing Yugao's anxious expression, Yu couldn't help but chuckle.

For some reason, every time he saw Yugao in this nervous state, he felt a pleasant sensation.

"Phew... I'm glad you're not angry."

"Since just now, my mood has been uneasy until now..."

Relieved to confirm that Yu was truly not angry, Yugao finally breathed a sigh of relief and patted her now sizable chest.

It was only then that she remembered every single word she said to Gekko Hayate earlier had been heard by Yu. Her face couldn't help but flush slightly.

"There's something in your hair..."

Seeing Yugao's shy expression with a hint of red, for some reason, Yu felt a mysterious flutter in his heart.

In the bewildered gaze of the young girl, Yu reached over, pretending to remove something from her hair.

"Here, for you."

When Yugao snapped out of it, she saw that when Yu withdrew his hand, a bundle of intricately outlined flowers, formed from threads, had magically appeared. They bloomed with a splendid radiance in the sunlight, presented right in front of her.

"So... so beautiful!"

Witnessing this unexpected surprise from Yu, Yugao exclaimed with joy, happily playing with the flowers he had given her.

Carefully, she adorned it in her own violet-colored flowing hair. Set against the white dress she wore, it accentuated the girl's delicate and charming beauty.

"As long as you like it."

Seeing Yugao's reaction, Yu couldn't help but let a small smile appear on his lips.

Although it was just a simple and cliché trick with flowers, the surprised and happy expression on the girl's face was already the greatest reward.

"Is it him?"

"There's no mistake. Besides him, who else could be such a young Jonin?"

"He's too amazing, isn't he? He looks even younger than I imagined!"

"He achieved such great feats on the battlefield, directly killing the Jinchuriki of Iwagakure and the Third Raikage of Hidden Cloud. What a terrifying monster!"

While the two of them laughed and chatted along the way, the hushed discussions of some nearby ninjas on the street were distinctly heard by Yu and Yugao.

Admiration, fear, awe, even without using the enhanced senses from Observation Haki, Yu could clearly sense various peculiar gazes focused on his face.
