"No, compared to Killer Bee, this little secret technique is not worth mentioning at all." A retrieved a scroll from his person and tossed it out. "Moreover, this secret technique isn't something just anyone can learn. A slight mistake could lead to losing control of chakra and exploding to death."

At this point, A looked at Kaito and said, "You don't mind me saying this, do you?"

Kaito didn't expect A to carry a scroll with him. He took it without a second glance and smiled warmly, "Thanks for the warning. I hope you won't be too surprised the next time we meet."

"I'll dispel the genjutsu first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kaito's Nine-Tomoe Sharingan suddenly stopped. The Eight-Tails, trapped in the illusion, let out a roar.

"I've broken free, you damn brat, I'm going to kill you. Killer Bee, why did you pass out? I still want to fight!"

The moment the genjutsu was lifted, Killer Bee only managed to slightly open his eyes before passing out. Kaito was not surprised by this scene. In fact, if A had delayed a bit longer, the Eight-Tails would have broken through Tsukuyomi, and Killer Bee would have been freed. After all, Kaito had activated Susanoo, Amaterasu, and Tsukuyomi in an instant. Maintaining Susanoo constantly was also a significant drain on his ocular power. Moreover, Tsukuyomi was primarily affecting Killer Bee.

"Kid, Killer Bee won't be in trouble, right?" A tried several methods, but none could wake Killer Bee. This was a severe loss of consciousness. If Killer Bee hadn't fully synchronized with the Eight-Tails, the moment he lost consciousness, the tailed beast would have gone berserk.

"It's just mental exhaustion. He'll recover after some rest." Kaito raised the scroll in his hand and said, "Thanks, you can leave now."

"Kaito, this is a good opportunity!" Inuzuka Feng was anxious, but Cangwu stopped him with a glance.

A sneered disdainfully, "A bunch of losers. If the Uchiha clan hadn't produced another genius, I would have killed you all already. Damn Anbu, they didn't even gather such crucial information."

In A's eyes, if they had known about Uchiha Kaito earlier, they wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses.

"However, kid, if you can't stay in Konoha, you can come to the Cloud Village and find me. You're always welcome." A retrieved another scroll and tossed it out again, "This is the scroll with the information that betrayed you. I hope you can return to Konoha safely. By the way, they all say that the person most likely to become the Fourth Hokage in Konoha is Minato, but I think you have the same qualification, Crimson Asura."

After saying this, A helped Killer Bee and turned to leave. "Next time we meet, I hope we'll face each other as Kage, and I'll pierce through your turtle shell."

As A left, the remaining five Cloud ninja were unwilling. But they quickly followed. In an instant, the vast ruins became empty.

"We won, we actually held off the main Cloud ninja force and the A–B Duo."

"Tch, what are you talking about? It was Kaito who single-handedly took them down and repelled the A–B Duo. It's all Kaito's credit."

"I didn't expect that besides Shisui of the Body Flicker, there would be another genius like Kaito in the Uchiha clan. That Kirin move just now was terrifying."

The Konoha ninja in the cave were instantly overjoyed, their faces filled with the relief of surviving a disaster. Facing the Cloud ninja's assault, they had already been in despair. Especially after knowing about Yamanaka Fu and Torune's betrayal, in their eyes, this was a certain death situation. However, the outcome before them overturned their expectations.

Thinking of that Kirin move that instantly killed hundreds. The impenetrable Susanoo. The pitch-black, inextinguishable black flames! And the overwhelmingly powerful genjutsu! All of this completely surpassed the definition of a Jonin. According to A's assessment, Kaito has now reached the level of a Kage candidate, commonly known as a demi-Kage.

"Did you hear that? A actually made a pact with Kaito to fight again after becoming Kage, and he even gave him a nickname, something like Crimson Arrow!"

"It's Crimson Asura, you idiot!"

"Phew!"

Watching the chattering Konoha ninja, Kaito breathed a sigh of relief. As his Nine-Tomoe Sharingan faded, the Susanoo around him vanished into thin air.

"Kaito, are you hurt? I'll treat you right away." Shizune rushed over, a hint of anxiety on her pretty face.

"Silly girl, he couldn't even break through my defense, how could I be hurt?" Kaito laughed and playfully flicked Shizune's nose.

"She's just worried about you, Kaito, don't blame Shizune." Cangwu also walked over with a smile, though his face was more filled with admiration. "Good kid, I didn't expect you to hide your strength so well. It's thanks to you that we were saved this time. As for other matters, once we return to Konoha, we'll definitely support you."

In Konoha, the Uchiha clan's position is quite awkward. They have always been caught in the power struggles between the Anbu, Root, and the police force. In Cangwu's understanding, Kaito, being a genius, has always held back to avoid these troublesome whirlpools. Of course, Kaito wouldn't expose Cangwu, who was quick to make assumptions and find excuses for himself.

Glancing at the blushing Shizune, Kaito opened another scroll. It clearly detailed their defenses and the specific locations of the hidden sentries.

"Damn it, our defenses and sentries change daily. Only Yamanaka Fu and Torune could describe them so clearly." Inuzuka Feng and his group quickly approached. Seeing the information on the scroll, their faces turned livid.

"If Kaito hadn't acted this time, we would have surely died."

"When we return to Konoha, we must report this to the Hokage, or how else can we convince everyone?"

"The people from Root are truly despicable, even with Danzo around, so what?"

"Kaito, rest assured, we will definitely support you."

Seeing the passionate Konoha ninja, Kaito didn't say much. In this world, the strong rule, and the weak are merely playthings for the strong. Currently in Konoha, Danzo indeed holds a certain position and can stir up trouble. However, Kaito has the One-Click Max Level System, as long as he's given time. He will quickly grow stronger. Even Madara, one of the masterminds, Kaito doesn't take seriously, let alone a mere Danzo. If pushed, he doesn't mind having a few more lives on his hands.

"Alright, Kaito is tired too. Let him rest a bit. Shizune, go with him and see if he needs any help." Cangwu stopped the others. Issues involving Konoha's upper echelons and the Uchiha clan shouldn't be commented on lightly. At least, until Kaito speaks, they can't make any conclusions. Otherwise, upsetting Kaito is not something Cangwu wants to see.
