So There Are Kage-Level Experts in the Land of Whirlpools!!

The dust settled!!

The battlefield fell silent, everyone staring in disbelief at the 7-year-old child standing amidst the rubble. His red tousled hair fluttered in the wind, right hand casually behind his back, cold gaze sweeping over the Kirigakure ninjas!!

The Kiri ninjas shuddered; this... this was the demeanor of a true master!!

Ah wait! No, now it should be...the Tailed Beast, the Three-Tails had actually been subdued, forced back into its seal.

You have to know that Tailed Beasts are beings that yearn for freedom, to breathe fresh air.

Yet now it had retreated back in, this wasn't fear, what was it? The Three-Tails must have felt its life threatened, not daring to come out and fight. If even a Tailed Beast was cowed, what more the ninjas!!

Especially that jutsu the kid had used just now, what was it?

That presence, that power, that brilliance, it was terrifying!!

Seeing the Three-Tails subdued, the Six-Tails Saiken shuddered. Were kids nowadays all so formidable? Was there no chance for the Tailed Beasts to be free? Were they doomed to be treated like toys?

The Tailed Beasts would never...

Just as it was about to launch a Tailed Beast Ball, it saw the cold gaze of the child turn towards it...

Staying alive was important, staying alive was important!!

The Six-Tails didn't dare move. Actually, being bound like this wasn't too bad.

However, it didn't know that Uzumaki Ryuto had only looked at it out of fear. Without Sage Mode, this Rasenshuriken was too damaging to his hand, especially being senjutsu-based. His little hand was trembling now, unable to exert any force. Not only was he injured, he was even petrified. Otherwise, why would he keep his hand behind his back?

It was just to intimidate the Kiri ninjas. He was only 7 years old after all, the son Naruto had barely become an adult when he first used this, yet his wrist was still injured. What more for Ryuto himself.

So...

He couldn't show any weakness, couldn't let them see he was unable to use any more ninjutsu. Otherwise, Gengetsu Hōzuki might go all out trying to defeat him, because...

The ninja world could not have another God of Ninja appear.

Uzumaki Ryuto knew he couldn't move now, or rather, he couldn't reveal even a hint that he was injured. Otherwise, they might notice something amiss. So he just stood atop the Three-Tails' seal, disdainfully surveying the surroundings!

Damn it, where were the Clan Elders?? Why hadn't they shown up yet!

He needed help!

And the other Uzumaki clansmen, why weren't they coming to his aid?

Had they all gone stupid?

Shit!!

Don't just stare at me in disbelief mixed with admiration, okay?

His right hand was in so much pain, he couldn't even throw a kunai or use the Flying Thunder God Jutsu! If no one was blocking his line of sight, how could Uzumaki Ryuto dare turn around? What if they noticed the aftereffects of this jutsu?

Intimidate them, he had to intimidate them no matter what!!

If he intimidated them, the war would end. If he didn't, they might go berserk trying to kill him!

...

Little did he know, the entire Uzumaki clan had been intimidated by Uzumaki Ryuto, their hearts stunned. So their young lord was such a monster! In that case, what did the Uzumaki clan have to fear? They could just crush Kirigakure!

Bind the Tailed Beasts with the Adamantine Sealing Chains, then let Lord Ryuto handle them, one at a time!!

They might even be able to defeat the Mizukage...

The Uzumaki clan eyed Gengetsu Hōzuki with ill intent. Perhaps...

Destroy them?

Just thinking about it was exciting! The Land of Whirlpools had produced a Kage-level ninja again, and he was only 7 years old. Who could guarantee Uzumaki Ryuto wouldn't become the next God of Ninja?

No wonder Lord Ryuto wasn't afraid of Kirigakure, it was because... 

He was too strong!!

He clearly looked down on Kirigakure. Didn't they see the Uzumaki clan had barely any casualties, while Kirigakure had been decimated?

So...

The Uzumaki clan became arrogant!!

Their eyes glowed red, glaring at the Kiri ninjas, as if wanting to charge recklessly.

Seeing this, Uzumaki Ryuto's eyelids twitched. These idiots weren't going to actually do it, were they?!

He only had that one attack left, he couldn't do it again. Don't suddenly lose your minds, it wasn't easy for him to build up these abilities!!

Calm down! Calm down! Wasn't being alive good enough?

Little did he know, Kirigakure was now scared!

The Uzumaki's gazes were too terrifying, as if they wanted to devour them. Perhaps at first seeing those eyes made them happy - this was the normal Uzumaki clan! They would definitely shout eagerly, "Come at us! Come at us! Not fighting isn't manly."

But now seeing those eyes...

They were so frightening!!

Didn't they see even a 7-year-old Uzumaki was such a monster?

And that instant transportation jutsu to reach the Tailed Beast...

A Space-Time Ninjutsu?

If so, then the number of Kiri ninjas meant nothing to him.

Didn't they see even the Mizukage himself was warily watching this 7-year-old boy, not daring to make a careless move?

Gengetsu Hōzuki stared at Uzumaki Ryuto in disbelief. This 7-year-old boy...

Was Kage-level!!

Undoubtedly Kage-level, and with Space-Time Ninjutsu, plus that jutsu that even he as the Mizukage found terrifying and inconceivable - a jutsu able to subdue even a Tailed Beast!

Too terrifying!!

Moreover, his immense chakra and life force, to have Kage-level power at just 7 years old, he was undoubtedly the next God of Ninja! Perhaps even more formidable than Hashirama!!

You have to know, Hashirama wasn't such a monster at 7 years old!!

Why didn't you Uzumaki clan tell us you had a Kage-level expert? This was deceiving us! And you used such devious tactics, shadow clones, such underhanded strategies - is that something a true Kage-level master would think of?

True masters should have an honest clash of power!!

And also...

Don't use Space-Time Ninjutsu.

So now Gengetsu Hōzuki didn't dare make a move. That deep gaze, cold smile, this child was too intimidating! It seemed like even if he went, he probably couldn't capture him. It was better to see how the situation developed.

...

If Uzumaki Ryuto knew Gengetsu's inner thoughts, he would definitely spit right in his face. Why didn't you go have a physical fight with the Raikage? To actually think of bullying a 7-year-old child, how shameless.

Seeing the Clan Elders surrounding him, Uzumaki Ryuto felt much more relieved inside. Expressionless, he walked over to the Head Elder and said in a low voice, "Seal the Three-Tails, retreat!!"

Hearing Uzumaki Ryuto's words, the Head Elder's eyes narrowed slightly before giving an imperceptible nod. Although he didn't know why they were retreating at such an opportune moment, he still noticed that young Ryuto...

Something seemed off. 

Then, out of the Kiri ninjas' line of sight, he quickly used the Flying Thunder God Jutsu. The aftereffects of the Rasenshuriken were excruciatingly painful! He could barely endure it himself!

...

He better head to the medical unit for treatment right away!

At least now he had the Flying Thunder God, so he didn't need to worry about being discovered. But before leaving, there was one more thing he had to do...glare at the Six-Tails!!

The Six-Tails , seeing this seven-year-old master actually glare at it, immediately cowered. Being restrained like this was undignified, but better than getting beaten to a pulp!

Ryuto looked at the Six-Tails' reaction with satisfaction. Good, it seemed properly intimidated. After the Uzumaki clan retreated, he would leave the Mist ninja to deal with the Six-Tails themselves. As for...

The Three-Tails!! That would be used as a bargaining chip.

"Still too weak," Ryuto muttered to himself. Then, activating the Flying Thunder God technique, he vanished from the battlefield in an instant.
