Chapter 69

The sharp edge of the blade, accompanied by the sharp Wind Release, kept spreading around, the ninjato in Kaito's raised hand elegantly swung down.

Under the wild boost of Reverse Path's power, Kaito seemed to feel as if he had harnessed a power capable of annihilating the world!

But he was aware that this sensation was nothing more than an illusion. Kaito knew the direction of the future. His current power was really insignificant.

Undeniably, the Mangekyou Sharingan was indeed formidable, but such formidability was only relevant in the present and the upcoming few years.

After all, in less than a decade, with the commencement of the Fourth Great Ninja War, the power of ninjas would be redefined!

"Moreover, Uchiha Fugaku is using Susano'o. Even with the support of Reverse Path, my Waterfowl Dance may not necessarily break his defense."

Even though Susano'o has a notorious history of being shattered by Wind Release, it is undeniable that Susano'o is the most powerful defensive jutsu!

Kaito's Waterfowl Dance may be strong, but it would be challenging to cut through directly. However, he is confident in leaving sufficient cracks on Susano'o.

As long as he can create cracks, Uchiha Fugaku will have to find ways to repair them, which will consume more of his chakra, giving Kaito an opportunity.

However, Kaito must also pay attention to the fact that he is still unsure what Uchiha Fugaku's special jutsu is.

But no matter what his special jutsu is, it's all the same for Kaito. After all, Kaito is prepared, and today he must secure what he wants to achieve.

Even though he has the final say in the clan now, without the legal title, he always feels like something is missing, especially when he feels that he is lacking a lot of system rewards!

The fierce blades of the wind, entwined with the flames, relentlessly twine around Uchiha Fugaku. Kaito's ninjato cuts across the yellow Susano'o with precision and elegance.

The Waterfowl Dance has three parts, each of which is a nightmarish memory for Kaito. He doesn't even remember how many times he was killed by the wind blades.

However, now, he decides to make the three-part Waterfowl Dance a nightmare for the entire ninja world!

The ninjas of the root have already proven the terror of this sword technique, and now Kaito wants to use Uchiha Fugaku to prove the strength of this sword technique.

"Hmm?"

But when Kaito swung the second part of the sword dance, he could feel that Uchiha Fugaku's Susano'o had already shown some cracks.

However, at this moment, he felt a terrifying chakra gathering in Uchiha Fugaku's eyes.

"Amaterasu? Or some other jutsu?"

Although Kaito still did not stop, his eyes also began to rotate slightly, and the azure chakra belonging to 'Aegis Shield' on his body also underwent some changes.

If it is Amaterasu, he is really not sure whether Aegis Shield can resist it. The best choice naturally is Susano'o.

If it's another jutsu, in the situation where he's unsure what the ability actually is, Kaito naturally trusts Susano'o.

After all, this is a battle at the level of Mangekyo Sharingan, and ordinary defensive jutsu might not be useful at all.

However, the next moment, Kaito suddenly found that the world in front of him had undergone a drastic change.

The originally colorful world had turned black and white at this moment, the sun in the sky seemed as the moonlight, but this moonlight appeared lifeless.

The surrounding world also became dull at this moment, and the flames and wind blades disappeared without a trace.

Even the battle between Kaito and Uchiha Fugaku seemed as if it had never happened!

"An illusion?"

Kaito raised an eyebrow, he had been pulled into this illusory space without feeling any abnormality.

Obviously, this should be Uchiha Fugaku's Genjutsu!

This Genjutsu seemed somewhat similar to Tsukuyomi, but everything within it seemed quite different from Tsukuyomi.

However, none of these are the point, the point is that Kaito found that his own situation seemed a bit strange.

"There's no restraint or limitation on me, what's going on? Is it too much of a gamble, or is it just too overconfident?"

Kaito assessed his own condition and found that at this moment, he seemed to be unrestrained and his situation was all good.

This made him a bit puzzled, or it could be said that the battle today made him feel strange because Uchiha Fugaku's performance was too peculiar.

"Kaito-kun, I apologize for communicating with you in this way."

At this moment, the voice of Uchiha Fugaku slowly echoed in this space, and his figure also quickly emerged within this space.

Kaito turned his head to look, he was somewhat bewildered by Uchiha Fugaku's series of actions, but he didn't let his guard down at all.

"Communicate, does Clan Leader Fugaku have something to tell me?" Kaito asked carefully.

"Yes, in fact, I really have a lot to say, but I have never had the chance."

Uchiha Fugaku showed a bitter smile, which made Kaito feel even more strange. However, he didn't pay attention to Kaito's expression, and continued to speak on his own.

"At the clan meeting a month ago, Kaito-kun's thoughtful words struck a chord. I've always believed that even if I'm not an excellent clan leader, at least I'm a competent one.

But after hearing Kaito-kun's words, and seeing the considerable support you've gained, I've realized that I need to reflect on my actions.

During the hiatus of this month, I locked myself up, seeing no one, including my wife and son. I have thoroughly reviewed my performance as the clan leader.

Combining what Kaito-kun said, I reached a sad conclusion, I am indeed not a qualified clan leader, one can even say I'm a terrible one!"

Speaking up to here, the bitter smile on Uchiha Fugaku's face became more pronounced, which in turn made Kaito's facial expression even stranger.

What's going on? Are we here in the middle of a fight to reminisce? Is this a traditional presentation in the world of Naruto, or has Uchiha Fugaku gone mad?

"Thank you, Kaito-kun. It's you who made me realize how weak and terrible I am, how unqualified I am."

Uchiha Fugaku continued, his expression at this moment becoming incredibly sincere.

"I suppose, Kaito-kun, you must be wondering about the purpose of this battle, aren't you?"

Kaito didn't respond but just quietly watched Uchiha Fugaku. It seemed like he was beginning to understand Uchiha Fugaku's intentions, but he wasn't sure.

"The purpose of this battle is quite clear. It's a signal and an inevitable process, especially as it carries significant meaning for me."

Kaito remained silent, but Uchiha Fugaku began to smile.

"In a while, I will end the illusion. After we leave, I will give up my defense. Your swordsmanship is exceptional; it is absolutely one of the finest I have ever seen.

To die under such swordsmanship, especially wielded by you who possesses the Mangekyou, I would have no regrets at all..."
