It was no wonder Uzumaki Kushina questioned Wuchen. After all, the round trip from Konoha to Sand's encampment took more than four days, meaning Wuchen annihilated the supply unit, protected by the One-Tail Shukaku, in half a day.
In fact, Jiraiya also harbored doubts about Wuchen's answer. It was just that they were teammates in the same trench, so it wasn't appropriate to say anything. Although he had great confidence in Wuchen and also maintained strong faith in the Mangekyo, annihilating hundreds of elite ninjas and a Jinchuriki in half a day was clearly unscientific.
"Hmph, Uchiha Wuchen, are you saying you annihilated Sand's supply unit in half a day?" Suppressing her anger, Uzumaki Kushina's beautiful eyes clearly burned with fury. Do you think you're a god? Even if the Hokage himself went, it would be impossible to eliminate this unit in half a day. He might even be directly beaten up by them! A Jinchuriki was a genuine Kage-level powerhouse, and there was an elite unit consisting of dozens of Jonin. You say you annihilated them in half a day? Only a ghost would believe that.
"Indeed." Meeting Uzumaki Kushina's gaze, Wuchen merely glanced at her, then completely and magnificently ignored her, his tone utterly indifferent. He didn't understand what was wrong with this woman, who was deliberately targeting him as if she had eaten gunpowder.
"Could it be that I stole Minato Namikaze's script, so she's targeting me?" Wuchen, noticing Uzumaki Kushina's increasingly hostile gaze, secretly pondered. Then he shook his head inwardly, because Uzumaki Kushina's personality was not that of a petty person, and he and Minato Namikaze had no competitive relationship. They were completely unrelated.
Crack crack crack! Seeing Wuchen still admitting that he had annihilated all of Sand's supply unit, Uzumaki Kushina immediately erupted in rage. Her seemingly soft and weak small hand directly smashed the table into fragments. She coldly inquired, "Uchiha Wuchen, I admit your strength is formidable, but the people present are not three-year-old children. Don't you think your lie is too ridiculous?" Uzumaki Kushina completely tore off her facade, sneering at the expressionless Wuchen. Only Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara could defeat Sand's supply unit in half a day, not Uchiha Wuchen!
"I see." Wuchen looked at Uzumaki Kushina in surprise. Finally understanding her meaning, he said faintly, "Are you saying that my annihilation of Sand's supply unit was a hoax, and I'm merely claiming credit for myself?"
"Hmph!" Hearing this, Uzumaki Kushina only grunted. Although she didn't speak, her expression clearly conveyed that meaning. The Mangekyo Sharingan was indeed terrifying, but trying to defeat a Jinchuriki with just genjutsu was useless, because the Tailed Beast within a Jinchuriki could interfere with their chakra, rendering genjutsu ineffective. Uzumaki Kushina stared coldly at Wuchen. The reason she knew genjutsu was useless against a Jinchuriki was because she was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki! Although she had never personally witnessed the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan, she was still of the Uzumaki clan. Even though they had completely fallen, as a descendant of the Six Paths, she should have at least a basic understanding of this distant relative, even if not a complete one. At least in Uzumaki Kushina's eyes, Wuchen couldn't possess such immense power.
"Unless you prove your strength!!" Uzumaki Kushina's tone suddenly shifted. Her beautiful eyes stared fixedly at Wuchen as she shouted, "Unless you possess the strength to defeat me, it's impossible!"
Pfft! Hearing this, Wuchen burst out laughing. He looked at Uzumaki Kushina with utter disdain, his expression as if he were looking at a clown.
"What's so funny?" Seeing this, Uzumaki Kushina immediately grew furious, her eyes burning with rage. She had originally intended to give Wuchen an out, but he was so tactless that he mocked her instead.
"What would defeating you prove... Or are you saying that just by defeating you, one would possess the power to defeat a Tailed Beast? Don't you think your question is too ridiculous and childish, Uzumaki Kushina?" Wuchen's face showed mockery. Despite Uzumaki Kushina's intimidating chakra, what did that prove?
"You and I are not on the same dimensional level at all..." His indifferent gaze fixed on Uzumaki Kushina. Wuchen's steady, powerful voice resonated, full of confidence. It wasn't that Wuchen was overstating. Although Uzumaki Kushina's current strength was decent, she was still a bit young and hadn't reached her later, terrifying level. Defeating her now was truly not difficult for Wuchen. Of course, this was assuming she didn't use the Nine-Tails' power. Even if she did use the Nine-Tails' power, while it would be more strenuous for Wuchen, taking her down wouldn't be a difficult task.
"What a joke?!" Uzumaki Kushina immediately erupted in rage. To be mocked by Wuchen that she and he were not on the same dimensional level was tantamount to a direct slap in the face. Unbeknownst to them, sharp ninja tools suddenly appeared in her soft, boneless small hands. Uzumaki Kushina then flashed behind Wuchen, tightly choking his neck, subduing Wuchen in a blink of an eye.
"Nothing special after all." Uzumaki Kushina felt a surge of pride in her heart. Just as she was about to disdain Wuchen for overestimating himself, her jade-like hand, gripping Wuchen, suddenly felt a scorching heat. She instinctively retracted her hand. Wuchen's body shimmered with a golden glow, and in a short while, his entire figure vanished. When he reappeared, he was already holding the Kusanagi Sword, its sharp blade pressing against Uzumaki Kushina's throat. His indifferent young face wore an unchanging look of disdain, his eyes devoid of emotion. "I was right, wasn't I? You and I are not on the same dimensional level at all. And I am not one for jokes..."
