"Oh?"
Kurosuki Raiga scrutinized Sasuke, his brow arching into a wicked grin.
"So you're the last survivor of the Uchiha clan?"
"Heh, how amusing."
"Tell you what, Uchiha survivor, hand over that old man behind you, and I'll spare your life."
Raiga raised his Thunder Blade, cackling hoarsely.
"After all, it would be quite dull if the Ninja World were to lose all traces of the Uchiha."
Sasuke remained silent, merely creating a Shadow Clone to escort Tazuna away from the battlefield.
"Why?! Why reject my kindness?"
Raiga suddenly clutched his forehead, wailing hysterically.
"This is unbearable! Tragic! Pitiful! The last vestige of the Uchiha bloodline is about to be extinguished by my hand! Waaah!"
As he spoke, Raiga covered his face with both hands and began sobbing dramatically.
"Hey, you crazy bastard, do you have a screw loose?"
Just as Raiga was losing his mind, Sasuke's calm, slightly mocking voice cut through the air.
"Or did your brain get kicked in during the last Ninja World War? Hmm? Pathetic."
Kurosuki Raiga's weeping abruptly ceased, his gaze turning dark and menacing as he glared at Sasuke.
"It seems you little brat knows something."
Raiga smirked, baring his sharp teeth. "Has no one ever told you, when facing a stronger opponent, it's best for the weak to keep their mouths shut? Otherwise, bad things might happen. Heh heh."
"Though you're still weak, as the last surviving Uchiha, you deserve a grand funeral. The thrill of sending someone to their grave is truly intoxicating, wouldn't you agree, Ranmaru?"
"Mmm-hmm!" A youthful voice echoed from the black cloak behind Raiga. "Raiga's right!"
"Then die, Uchiha's last remnant!"
Raiga's face twisted into a savage grimace, his murderous aura surging skyward.
Wielding the Thunder Blade, crackling with blinding lightning, he lunged forward like an arrow loosed from a taut bowstring.
"What gave you the delusion that I'm the weak one?"
Just as Kurosuki Raiga charged forward, Sasuke's calm voice cut through the air.
Behind Raiga, Ranmaru's expression twisted, and he shouted, "Raiga, watch out! This guy's strong!"
'Huh?!'
Kurosuki Raiga froze, his face twisting in shock.
In that instant, Sasuke had already drawn a black-hilted sword from seemingly nowhere.
When Kurosuki Raiga closed within ten meters, a blinding golden electric arc erupted from the blade, crackling with thunderous energy as it slashed toward him.
Raiga tried to dodge, but he wasn't Yugito Nii—how could he evade such a strike?
'Thwack!'
At the last possible moment, Kurosuki Raiga managed to avoid a fatal blow, but the Sword of the Thunder God still sliced through his thigh.
The crimson blood, before it could even touch the water, was instantly charred black by the lightning.
Roaring furiously, Raiga unleashed a bolt of lightning and retreated dozens of meters in a desperate retreat before stopping.
Sasuke effortlessly dodged Raiga's lightning strike, his gaze fixed on the visibly shaken Raiga in the distance.
More precisely, he was studying the black cloak draped across Raiga's back.
His sword should have struck true, but at the last moment, an inexplicable interference caused him to misdirect his strike.
'Red Eye!'
A dojutsu-type Bloodline Limit rumored to be the natural enemy of the Byakugan.
It could see through objects, sense power, detect danger, and even manipulate Chakra to create illusions that disrupted the Byakugan's perception. In terms of Chakra observation, it was said to surpass even the Byakugan.
Realizing this, Sasuke activated his Sharingan. The Red Eye might be the Byakugan's nemesis, but it posed no threat to the Sharingan.
Though the Red Eye had momentarily disrupted his judgment earlier, all dojutsu-type Bloodline Limits ultimately rely on applications of Yin Release.
Empowered by the Sharingan, the Red Eye would find it even harder to distort Sasuke's perception.
"Ranmaru, why didn't you tell me sooner?" Kurosuki Raiga glared at the wound in his thigh, his face darkening as he demanded.
Ranmaru could sense the magnitude of an enemy's Chakra and the degree of danger they posed.
Ranmaru and Raiga were inseparable, relying on each other for survival. Raiga acted as Ranmaru's hands and feet, while Ranmaru served as Raiga's eyes in battle.
Working in perfect synergy, Kurosuki Raiga had remained undefeated since becoming a rogue ninja, effortlessly escaping even the most perilous situations and formidable opponents.
"Sorry," Ranmaru's youthful voice drifted from the black bag behind Raiga. "This person must possess a secret technique to conceal his Chakra fluctuations. That's why I didn't sense much Chakra from him earlier."
Sasuke, of course, hadn't deliberately studied any aura concealment techniques.
In his previous life on Earth, various cultures' spiritual practices, though differing in specifics, all revolved around cultivating the mind, aiming to shed worldly attachments and return to one's true nature.
Having practiced Yoga and Meditation for over four years, Sasuke possessed an exceptionally stable, harmonious, and balanced mental energy field.
Combined with his sculpting-based training method, his Chakra control surpassed nearly all others in the Ninja World.
Thus, in ordinary circumstances, he resembled a sheathed sword—its sharpness concealed, appearing unremarkable.
But when unleashed, he was like a blade drawn from its scabbard, his power erupting with overwhelming force, cutting through the sky like a meteor!
"I see," Kurosuki Raiga nodded, then unzipped the black bag, revealing Ranmaru's youthful face and his striking crimson eyes.
"Can you sense his Chakra now?"
"Mm-hmm!" Ranmaru nodded, his flawless crimson crystal eyes fixed intently on Sasuke in the distance.
"Good!"
Kurosuki Raiga nodded, relief washing over him. He gripped the Thunder Blade tightly, his dark eyes locked on Sasuke, who remained motionless.
"Uchiha's last survivor," Raiga growled, "though there was a slight mishap earlier, your fate remains unchanged."
"In my eyes, you're still weak. And in the Ninja World, the weak always die at the hands of the strong—an eternal law."
Raiga's deep, delirious words dripped with madness and a chilling murderous intent.
"You think you're strong?" Sasuke glanced at him, his tone utterly indifferent.
"Heh, am I not?" Raiga licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with manic intensity. "You dare question me?"
Sasuke's calm question instantly chilled Raiga's frenzy.
