Interstellar Players Don't Need...

Uchiha Shou, who no longer struggled with intellect, had gained the upper hand. Why? He became an e-boy, aka devoid of emotion.

He coldly advanced towards Natsuhiko.

Seeing this, Natsuhiko knew it was the moment of truth and finally became severe.

"Activate [Revival of the Dead]!"

Immediately, he placed a card on the Dueling Field.

The previously exploded "Uchiha Madara" reappeared in front of Natsuhiko, looking unscathed.

"See! Our bond has brought him back from the afterlife to the present world!"

Stop forging bonds with deceased ancestors without permission!

Clearly, it's just recreating a shadow clone!

Veins bulged on Uchiha Shou's forehead as he brimmed with anger, and he sneered.

"Hmph! The Uchiha won't fall for the same trick twice!"

Are you some kind of Saint Seiya?

Natsuhiko slapped another card onto the Dueling Field.

"Since one isn't enough, I'll summon a few more!"

"Activate [Shadow Clone Technique]."

In the next moment, "Uchiha Madara" began rapidly forming hand seals, and four identical figures appeared beside him.

Seeing this, Natsuhiko couldn't help but marvel.

It takes work. With limited chakra, he's managed to employ a gang-up tactic using shadow clones.

And inadvertently, he let Uchiha Shou experience the VIP treatment of the Five Kage from the original work.

Natsuhiko waved his hand grandly, pointing at Uchiha Shou, and ordered, "Go! Uchiha Team, let him witness the power of the Uchiha clan!"

At his command, the five "Uchiha Madara" clones lunged forward, engaging Uchiha Shou in battle.

Under Natsuhiko's control, the five clones coordinated their attacks and defences seamlessly, acting as one entity, launching a continuous assault on Uchiha Shou.

Although facing five shadow clones, Uchiha Shou remained undaunted.

It's more accurate to say that only now does he feel like he's genuinely sparring.

Previously, whether Natsuhiko was playing cards or suddenly making clones dance, there was no atmosphere for sparring.

Various flashy moves flew around.

He danced around with the five clones as if in a graceful dance, seemingly effortless.

Accompanied by his crimson eyes, two crimson streaks trailed through his eyes.

Despite their flawless coordination, their low martial arts skills and stiff movements were magnified in his Sharingan.

Too slow! Too slow!

Soon, he seized the opportunity, darting through the narrow gaps to evade all attacks and then kicking two clones to explode with a Thomas Helicopter Kick!

Just as he was about to press the advantage and defeat the other clones.

Several shurikens flew towards him, forcing him to dodge and miss the opportunity to continue his attack.

Turning his head, he saw two freshly summoned "Uchiha Madara" clones rushing towards him, rejoining the other three to form a new formation.

Uchiha Shou chuckled and then dashed forward, continuing to battle his ancestors.

At this point, Natsuhiko's determination shone through. Whenever a clone disappeared, he immediately created a new one to fill the gap.

He didn't create more clones at once because, with the amount of chakra he had left, controlling five clones was already his limit.

Lacking in martial arts skills, but tactics make up for it.

Natsuhiko continually changed the formation of the five clones, attempting to break through Uchiha Shou's defences with dazzling manoeuvres.

Taking advantage of this training opportunity, he tested various tactics he designed for his shadow puppets.

With the effectiveness of some tactics and Natsuhiko's improved operational skills, pressure on Uchiha Shou increased sharply, forcing him to abandon relying solely on martial arts.

Ninjutsu, ninja tools, genjutsu—the versatility of the Uchiha clan was fully displayed at this moment.

Except for genjutsu inexplicably ineffective against these clones, both ninja tools and ninjutsu were practical.

"It seems that the folks of the Uchiha clan aren't that easy to deal with."

Natsuhiko had tried all the tactics he designed, gaining rich experience, but still needed help to defeat Uchiha Shou.

Due to the creation and destruction of shadow clones, even Natsuhiko's budget version of the shadow clone technique couldn't withstand such consumption.

Helplessly, he had to show Uchiha Shou something new.

This time, he placed a card on the Duel disk.

"Activate [Demon Mist Rain]!"

"?"

Uchiha Shou, who was panting while entangled with the five shadow clones, became alert upon hearing this.

The entire small forest around him was shrouded in a hazy mist.

What's eerie is that the mist vaguely formed the shape of a skull...

The several "Uchiha Madara" clones beside him also ceased their attacks, retreating and hiding in the mist one by one.

The mist grew thicker, soon reaching the point of being unable to see one's hand.

"So, the Shadow Clone Technique can also be used to completely obscure visibility?"

Uchiha Shou's expression darkened slightly, a sign of his strategic mind at work. He wasn't overly surprised, having anticipated such a move when he saw the sea of fire and the giant hat earlier.

When he saw the sea of fire and the giant hat earlier, he had thought that such a situation might occur.

After all, anyone fighting against the Uchiha clan would try to limit the Sharingan's abilities.

Like the Hyuga clan's Dark Roaring Technique, the Hidden Mist Village's Hidden Mist Technique, the Cloud Hidden Village's Thunder Illusion Thunderbolt, or directly, like the Puppeteer from the Sand Hidden Village, not showing up at all.

If none of those worked, then please put a bag of lime powder in the ninja tool bag...

The Uchiha clan has faced countless methods against the Sharingan and, as a result, has developed a set of countermeasures. This resilience is a testament to their strength.

For example, when he was very young, he would occasionally have his eyes covered to undergo various training.

Starting from dodging various projectiles, then practising against each other, and finally, even throwing them into the forest for a few days without seeing anything.

Therefore, even though his vision was deprived now, Uchiha Shou remained remarkably calm, his confidence unwavering.

Instead, defeating the opponent in such a situation and enjoying the other party's incredible expression of disbelief was also a kind of thrilling enjoyment for Uchiha Shou.

He covered his chakra under his feet, silently leaving the spot, and began to search for Natsuhiko's whereabouts, intending to catch the thief first.

But before he had taken a few steps, a fist suddenly came from the mist beside him.

Uchiha Shou's pupils contracted, and he crossed his hands to block the attack barely. Then, he counterattacked with a kick, only to hit the air.

Missed.

However, Uchiha Shou was more concerned about how the opponent found him.

He thought the opponent would use a silent assassination technique like the Mist Concealment, judging his position by sound.

So he had already covered the corresponding parts with chakra, reducing breathing sounds, heartbeat sounds, and footsteps to a minimum, making it impossible to be found so easily.

Perception ninjutsu?

Natsuhiko shouldn't have had the opportunity to come into contact with it.

Unless he set up a perception array on-site, Uchiha Shou really didn't know what other possibilities there were.

Is it just a coincidence?

Just as he had this thought, a sandal came flying from the thick fog.

"Found again!"

Uchiha Shou dodged, planning to pursue, but punches and kicks came from both sides...

Uchiha Shou's blood pressure began to rise again.

"How could it be? Obviously, no one can see anything; why can they find me?"

Because interstellar players don't need sight.

At this moment, Natsuhiko was leisurely sitting on a small stump, skillfully manipulating a virtual keyboard and a mouse.

The interface in front of him displayed a map.

Using the principles of perception arrays to create the map, the positions of Uchiha Shou and the five shadow clones were clearly visible.

Hit&Run, positional encirclement, skill interrupts...

The techniques Natsuhiko learned from games in his previous life unexpectedly had a place in the ninja world.

Moreover, the physical qualities of ninjas allowed him to operate at extremely high speeds, his hands moving like phantoms, with an APM exceeding three thousand per minute!

At this point, the battle was no longer suspenseful.

Even if Uchiha Shou used all his tricks, he was no match for Natsuhiko, who seemed to have activated the cheats.

Finally, with a splash, the small forest returned to calm once again.

"GG."

Natsuhiko, sitting on the small stump, stretched lazily and stood up again.

The thick fog in the small forest gradually dissipated.

Only to see Uchiha Shou lying unconscious on the ground as if five big men had trampled him.

Natsuhiko looked at the five "Uchiha Madara" clones standing beside him, thinking that it didn't seem too wrong.

"I bodied a special upper ninja of the Uchiha clan without using any sealing techniques. This set of tactics still has some merits.

Natsuhiko thought to himself.

Just as he was about to make these clones disappear, they suddenly started moving on their own again.

They suddenly formed a formation, each performing strange and exaggerated movements and shouting in unison:

"Guinea Pig Assault..."

With a snap of Natsuhiko's fingers, the five shadow clones disappeared instantly.

He massaged his temples slightly.

He decided that when he got home later, he would delete all these weird action patterns!

After adjusting his mood, Natsuhiko suddenly clapped his hands and loudly said:

"Alright, the guy over there, you can come out now."

With that, his gaze turned to the giant tree from earlier.

With a swoosh, a figure flashed out from the thick fog and quickly landed beside Uchiha Shou.

First, he slightly bowed to Natsuhiko, then bent down to check Uchiha Shou's condition.

Although he looked a bit miserable, he only suffered some superficial injuries, nothing serious.

Relieved, he stood up again and turned his gaze to Natsuhiko.

"I'm Uchiha Fugaku, the captain of this guy in the Police Department. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble this time."
