Naruto: Kushina's Redemption, My Revenge

Chinya's blade and kunai clashed repeatedly with those of Kazuo Uchiha.

Chinya was much faster in drawing his weapon, but thanks to his triple tomoe Sharingan, Kazuo always managed to parry Chinya's strikes just in time and counterattack.

In close-quarters combat, Chinya failed to gain the upper hand against Kazuo.

After another clash between their swords and kunai, Chinya deliberately created some distance between himself and Kazuo.

As he retreated, Chinya's hands swiftly formed hand seals.

Seeing Chinya forming seals, Kazuo's expression turned incredulous.

Chinya completed the seals.

[Fire Release: Dust Concealment Technique!]

He exhaled a massive puff of high-temperature ash forward. Upon hitting the ground, the ash spread outward rapidly.

Kazuo immediately dodged aside to avoid contact with the scorching ash.

Because of its extreme heat, any trees touched by the ash burst into flames instantly.

Worse still, the ash was also explosive.

After spreading outward for a short distance, the ash erupted in violent explosions—one after another.

Once the explosions ceased, Kazuo observed his surroundings from a hiding spot.

Thanks to the ash obscuring Kazuo's vision, Madara and Kazuo had lost sight of Chinya.

Kazuo couldn't understand why Chinya would use a Fire Release technique from the Uchiha Clan.

Theoretically, there was no way Chinya should have learned such techniques.

Spotting movement in bushes not far away, Kazuo instantly formed hand seals.

[Fire Release: Great Dragon Flame Technique!]

From his mouth, Kazuo unleashed a gigantic fire dragon toward the moving bush.

When the fire dragon struck, the bush exploded in flames, and a figure darted out just before the blast.

Eyes narrowing, Kazuo coldly declared, "Got you now!"

[Fire Release: Dragon Fire Singing Technique!]

From his mouth, Kazuo spit forth four fire dragons that attacked Chinya midair from above, below, left, and right directions simultaneously.

To Kazuo, Chinya—mid-air and unable to change direction—looked completely trapped.

At the moment the four fire dragons hit Chinya, he suddenly transformed into a flickering bolt of lightning.

Kazuo was shocked inside.

It was a Lightning Release Shadow Clone technique!

And now his position had been exposed!

A crack split the earth behind Kazuo, and Chinya burst through it.

After using the ash to block Kazuo's vision, Chinya had created a Lightning Release Shadow Clone and then used [Earth Release: Inner Decapitation] to submerge underground.

Chinya had lured Kazuo with his Lightning Release Shadow Clone. If Kazuo had approached closely, the Lightning Release Shadow Clone's current would have paralyzed him.

But that didn't happen—Kazuo had instead attacked Chinya's Lightning Release Shadow Clone remotely with ninjutsu.

Nevertheless, Chinya successfully infiltrated beneath Kazuo through the earth using an earth-based jutsu and now stood directly behind him.

Chinya swung his blade directly at Kazuo's legs.

Kazuo Uchiha's every hair stood on end. He sprang up quickly, dodging Chinya's slash just in time.

But the fight was far from over.

Chinya made hand seals with both hands and rapidly pulled out a handful of shuriken.

["Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Needle Crimson!"]

As Chinya performed the Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Needle Crimson technique, flames coated the flying shuriken. The blazing projectiles, radiating intense heat, shot toward Kazuo Uchiha like crimson phoenix flowers scattering across the sky.

The triple tomoe Sharingan in Kazuo Uchiha's eyes spun wildly as he tracked the flame-covered shuriken.

Thirteen in all.

With precise flicks of his kunai, Kazuo Uchiha struck down each one—none got past him.

He landed steadily on the ground.

Chinya clicked his tongue. An upper-rank ninja from a ninja clan was indeed formidable.

Though still an upper-rank ninja, Kazuo Uchiha was more troublesome than Tatsuji Kuroiwa, the elite upper-rank ninja Chinya had previously battled directly.

Kazuo Uchiha's face darkened as he demanded coldly, "Where did you learn our Uchiha Clan's Fire Release Ninjutsu?"

Chinya sneered, "Learned from where? You should ask your clan head and his son how they dared come apologize to me personally. They even offered me the Fire Release techniques and insights into using the Sharingan. I never expected your clan head would lower himself to beg my forgiveness."

"That's absolutely impossible!" Kazuo Uchiha refused to believe Chinya's words. "Our clan leader would never send Fugaku Uchiha to apologize to you! Not a single word you say is truthful, you little brat!"

Chinya chuckled mockingly, "If you don't believe me, why not go ask Masaki Uchiha and Fugaku Uchiha yourself? Although I must say, your Uchiha Clan's Fire Release techniques really are quite effective."

Still unwilling to accept that their clan leader Masaki Uchiha would ever apologize to Chinya—or perhaps simply unable to stomach the idea—Kazuo Uchiha was about to attack again when a loud shout rang out, "What do you two think you're doing here?!"

Jiraiya-sama arrived, halting the battle between Kazuo Uchiha and Chinya.

Kyousuke Uchiha arrived with three others as well. Seeing the wreckage all around them, they looked at Kazuo Uchiha and Chinya with confusion.

Many other ninja had also arrived, drawn by the commotion.

Jiraiya stared at Chinya with furrowed brows and asked, "What exactly happened here?"

Seeing Jiraiya appear, Kazuo Uchiha's stomach dropped.

Damn, trouble was coming.

Earlier consumed by rage, he hadn't considered the consequences of being discovered.

Sheathing his ninja sword, Chinya smirked at Kazuo Uchiha and said, "Want to know what happened? Ask him yourself. I was assigned a mission and was just waiting here for my team to show up.

But then this guy shows up outta nowhere and starts threatening me for no reason. Next thing I knew, he launched an unprovoked attack.

I was just defending myself because I had no choice. Honestly, who knows what his problem was—he came at me with lethal intent. Jiraiya-sama, can someone who would try to kill their own teammate be trusted?

I'm sure none of you here want to be stabbed in the back by someone they once called a teammate when the chips are down, right?"

"Jiraiya-sama, don't believe his nonsense!" Kazuo Uchiha angrily defended. "He's been mocking me the whole time, deliberately pushing me into attacking him! He was doing it on purpose—to shame both me *and* the Uchiha Clan!"

Kazuo was so furious that his hands trembled.

No wonder Chinya had thrown such harsh words at him earlier, constantly trying to provoke him into action.

This place was close to the Camp. Fighting here would certainly draw attention.

Chinya had deliberately tried to force his hand, intending to get him punished.
