"Sharingan?!"

Everyone was stunned, even Hikaru.

It wasn't just that Shin had the Sharingan; it was that it was a three-tomoe Sharingan.

"Shin, why do you have the Sharingan?" Tsunade asked, shocked.

Shin scratched his head. "It's a long story. Let's deal with these guys first."

"Kushina, Mikoto, stay back," he said to the girls.

The enemies were all Jōnin level or higher; Kushina and Mikoto wouldn't be much help.

Seeing his serious expression, they nodded and retreated.

"Uzumaki Hikaru, allow me to release you from this world of suffering. No need to thank me; we're practically family."

Shin's three-tomoe Sharingan spun rapidly as he focused on Hikaru.

"Don't look into his eyes! Beware of Sharingan Genjutsu!" Dan shouted.

But Shin didn't use Genjutsu. The three tomoe merged, and his Mangekyō Sharingan activated.

"Yomotsu Hirasaka!"

A dark portal opened in front of Shin.

He drew his Kusanagi sword and thrust it into the portal.

Thud!

Hikaru stared in disbelief as a sword pierced his heart from behind. The light faded from his eyes.

Shin withdrew his sword. Hikaru collapsed, a dark portal appearing behind him.

Yomotsu Hirasaka had opened a dimensional path from Shin to Hikaru's back.

Shin's sword had passed through the portal, killing Hikaru instantly.

Yomotsu Hirasaka wasn't just for defense and escape; it was even more effective for offense and surprise attacks.

Hikaru's instant death shocked Dan. The other four Root Members looked at Shin warily.

"What was that Jutsu?"

Dan had a bad feeling about this. They had only been concerned about Tsunade, but this kid was unexpectedly powerful.

"The Mangekyō Sharingan?"

Tsunade was even more shocked than when she first learned Shin had the Sharingan. The Sharingan wasn't uncommon; the Uchiha Clan was still around. But the Mangekyō Sharingan was rare. As far as she knew, only Madara Uchiha possessed it.

"Seems effective enough." Shin flicked his sword, the blood splattering harmlessly on the ground.

"Fire Style: Dragon Fire Jutsu!"

"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"

One of the Root Members unleashed a torrent of flames shaped like a dragon, while another used Wind Release to amplify its power.

Tsunade's eyes widened. Even she would be in danger if hit by that. Most Shinobi, except for Taijutsu specialists, were physically frail.

Tsunade was skilled in Taijutsu, but that was due to her Strength of a Hundred Seal. Without it, her Taijutsu was average at best. She was primarily a Medical Ninja.

She had to dodge.

As she retreated, she saw Shin standing still, seemingly frozen in fear. She panicked.

"Shin, what are you doing? Dodge!"

She tried to reach him, but it was too late. The fire dragon was upon him.

"Nice teamwork. Now taste your own medicine."

Shin used Yomotsu Hirasaka again, a portal opening in front of him. The fire dragon entered the portal and vanished.

Then, another portal opened above Dan and his team. The fire dragon emerged, roaring towards them.

They were too close, caught completely off guard. Two died instantly, and three were severely injured. Dan survived, but he suffered extensive burns, his hair and face singed.

"That's some power. A B-rank Jutsu, amplified by Wind Release, reaching A-rank level."

Shin observed the damage with a critical eye.

Thwack!

Tsunade smacked him on the head, glaring at him.

"Are you trying to give me a heart attack?!"

She wanted to hit him again, but Shin dodged.

"I'm fine, aren't I?"

"Shin!"

Kushina launched herself at Shin, tears in her eyes, and hugged him tightly. She had been terrified.

"Shin, are you hurt?" Mikoto checked him for injuries.

"I'm fine. Not a single hair out of place. Tsunade, hurry up and attack! They're getting away!"

Shin pointed at Dan and the two surviving Root Members, who were trying to flee.

The two who had died, including Hikaru, were Jōnin. Dan and the other two were elite Jōnin. Their experience had allowed them to survive the surprise attack.

But they knew they were outmatched. They were retreating.

Tsunade glared at them, her face contorted in anger. Trying to run? Not so fast.

If it weren't for Shin's unexpected strength, they would be dead.

She couldn't take on three elite Jōnin alone.

They could even kill her if they worked together. She wasn't at her peak yet.

And if Dan's plan hadn't been exposed, he could have launched a surprise attack and killed her easily.

Danzō had sent a strong team, a testament to how much he valued Tsunade's life.

But he hadn't anticipated Shin's strength. He probably hadn't even considered Shin, Kushina, and Mikoto as threats. This time, he had miscalculated.

Three elite Jōnin and three regular Jōnin. Danzō had suffered a significant loss, especially with Kato Dan, who was likely a valuable asset.

Tsunade charged forward, intercepting one of the fleeing elite Jōnin. Dan and the other elite Jōnin split up, escaping in different directions. Tsunade couldn't stop them both.

"Three elite Jōnin, running away like scared dogs. How pathetic."

Shin watched them go. He had to act now, or they would escape.

Yomotsu Hirasaka!

He stepped through a portal, appearing behind one of the fleeing Jōnin. His sword flashed, slicing the man in two.

"Aah!"

Kushina screamed. It was a gruesome sight.

She had followed Shin through the portal.

Shin looked at the bisected corpse, blood pooling on the ground. It was indeed gory.

He hadn't meant to be so brutal, but it was his first time killing with a sword. He hadn't controlled his strength properly. And the Kusanagi sword was incredibly sharp.

But still, he had just killed an elite Jōnin. It had been as easy as chopping vegetables.

With Space-Time Ninjutsu and his lightning-fast swordsmanship, killing was a simple matter, especially against weaker opponents. It was a massacre.
