Chapter 350: The Power of Entei

Rumble…

Rumble…

Countless burning giant fists of molten lava fell from the sky like a catastrophe, unleashing unimaginable terror in the forest.

The remaining black-clad, masked ninjas hiding in the forest didn't even have a chance to escape. They were directly turned to ashes and dust along with the entire forest by Entei's Meteor Volcano.

Ordinary lava can reach temperatures of 1300 degrees, but with Yu's current cultivation, having reached the awakened state of the Devil Fruit, Entei's Magma Fruit power can easily surpass this limit, reaching boundless depths.

Many people don't understand why Akainu's Magma Fruit in "One Piece" can overpower Ace's Flame-Flame Fruit, creating a superior-subordinate relationship.

The special fire temperature can indeed exceed that of lava, but lava can still engulf and burn out the flames, as rock melts into lava under high temperature and pressure, and fire can provide the necessary high temperature.

In other words, not only does Ace's flame not threaten Akainu's lava, but it actually makes it stronger, becoming fuel for the magma. The lava absorbs the flames, becoming even more intense, while Ace, whose flames are absorbed, becomes incredibly weak. This is the principle behind their superior-subordinate relationship.

Lava is not fire; it is a natural phenomenon that continuously relies on devouring flames to keep burning. Therefore, even if someone like Uchiha Itachi from this world were to use black flames like Amaterasu, the end result would still be the flames being completely consumed and burned out by Entei's lava.

This guy…

Is he human or a god?!

Staring blankly at the forest in front of him, which was instantly engulfed by endless lava, the entire ground turned into a sea of black and red high-temperature molten lava in an instant. Kakashi, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, who were beside him, almost thought they were seeing hell for a moment.

"What… kind of power is that…"

"If he wanted to attack Konoha…"

Witnessing the destructive power of Entei, a walking natural disaster in human form, Kakashi once again updated his understanding of Yu. If Yu were to use such a technique in Konoha, Kakashi couldn't even imagine what the consequences would be.

"What kind of Ninjutsu is this…"

Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura stood with their mouths agape, unable to recover from the shock of seeing the entire ground turned into a sea of lava.

"Is this also Ninjutsu? It's amazing!!"

Only the thick-skinned Naruto was the first to react amidst the shock, shouting excitedly, "I want to learn that kind of Ninjutsu too!!"

"Idiot, that's not just any ordinary Ninjutsu…"

"Besides, someone like you could never learn it…"

Sasuke, on the other hand, while verbally belittling Naruto, couldn't hide the shock in his eyes. "If I had such power, I could definitely kill that man…"

"Yu-sama, shouldn't we leave one alive to interrogate about who is behind this?"

Kimimaro approached, his eyes questioning as he looked at Yu.

"No need, they're just a bunch of clowns…"

After retracting Entei into Kaio's alternate space, Yu waved his hand lightly, a faint hint of sarcasm on his face. "Such a tactic of sacrificing numerous subordinates without hesitating, just for a slim chance to successfully assassinate their target…"

"Hmph, even without saying it, I can guess…"

Muttering to himself, Yu's deep amber eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, and as he gazed towards Konoha, it seemed like his vision penetrated the entire forest in front of him. "Impatient, aren't they… They arranged such a prelude for me even before I reached Konoha…"

"Let's keep going. We're already very close to Konoha…"

After speaking, Yu continued towards Konoha with Haku and Kimimaro. To him, the earlier ninja assassination attempt was nothing more than a boring farce.

"It seems the target of those ninjas was Yakushi Yu alone…"

"Encountering ninja assassins on this road leading to Konoha in the Land of Fire, could it be…"

Lost in thought, Kakashi watched the backs of Yu, Haku, and Kimimaro as they continued on. He seemed to have figured something out, and his initially heavy gaze became increasingly solemn.

"It looks like this guy's return to Konoha is destined to bring turmoil to the village…"

"Just hope things don't get too out of hand like last time…"

Thinking of this, Kakashi clenched his fist again and quickly chased after Yu with Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura.

...

Konoha.

A dark, sunless underground base.

"Fu, Torune, are you two certain it's him?"

An old man, almost entirely wrapped in white bandages, asked in a deep voice.

"His sensing range is vast, so Torune and I didn't dare to get too close…"

"But from what I observed using the Yamanaka clan's Mind Body Switch Jutsu on a bird, it's definitely him."

Two masked ninjas knelt on one knee in front of the old man. The young ninja with long orange hair answered.

"Hmm… Not a single one of the dispatched ninjas returned?"

After hearing this, the old man pondered briefly, then turned his gaze to another ninja named Torune in front of him and asked.

"No, not a single one returned…"

"I've never seen such power before... It was like the color of hell itself..."

The ninja named Torune answered with a blank expression, but his normally indifferent tone couldn't hide a trace of shock. "The entire forest, along with all the ninjas, was instantly reduced to ashes and turned into a hell of lava…"

"Such power, as far as I know, there's only one person in the entire ninja world who can do this…"

"Scarlet Yu…"

Taking over the conversation, the old man pronounced the name slowly, his deep voice filled with endless hatred. "Hmph, it seems he has gained new power…"

"But there were also two young people with him, they seem to be his subordinates…"

At this moment, the orange-haired ninja named Kaze added, "And he seemed to be walking with Hatake Kakashi and the Genin of Konoha's Team 7…"

"Kakashi? How could they be with Yakushi Yu…"

The old man was momentarily stunned but quickly recovered, waving his hand and saying, "Never mind, don't bother with him. He won't affect our plans… Just go and make your preparations. This time, I will make that brat pay dearly!!"

"Scarlet Yu, welcome back to Konoha… Hahahahaha…"

Amidst the sinister and maniacal laughter, the old man slowly unwrapped the bandages from his right eye, revealing a Mangekyo Sharingan with a four-pointed shuriken pattern.

The dim lights around him all turned on, revealing a vast and dark new underground world. A group of carefully selected ninjas were methodically undergoing special training within it…
