"Fine, I'll trade with you." Maya did not hesitate in the slightest.

Even if her lord truly became crippled, she would care for him for the rest of her life.

From the day she agreed to serve the Young Clan Head, Kyosuke had become the most important person in her life.

Failing to keep him safe was already a grave dereliction of duty as his guard. How could she stand by and watch him suffer misfortune now?

The mission?

To hell with it!

She tossed the unconscious Yamanaka Rumiko to the ground and fixed the other party with an icy glare. Uchiha Maya said in a low voice, "Don't try anything, or I'll make sure every last one of you dies here."

The three black Magatama in her pupils spun wildly as her gaze swept toward the sole remaining Chunin.

She was a young girl from the Yamanaka Clan. She had just attempted to launch a sneak attack with a secret technique, but Maya had seen through her intentions immediately.

"Don't make a move!" Nara Teppei stopped his subordinate.

The situation now was that he and Akimichi Kanbei had to face two Uchiha Jonin.

If they truly pushed them too far and they disregarded everything to seize the hostages and flee, there would be no way to stop them.

Rather than taking that risk, it was better to trade Rumiko back first.

Besides, that brat was already crippled. There was no point in keeping him.

No matter how foolish Uchiha Rei was, he would not compromise for a cripple.

With that in mind, Nara Teppei waved a hand to show his sincerity. "Don't worry. I won't gamble with my comrades' lives."

As he spoke, he grabbed Kyosuke by the collar with one hand and reached for his companion on the ground with the other.

Maya made much the same move. As for Uchiha Izumi, he watched Akimichi Kanbei like a tiger eyeing its prey.

Both sides wanted the same thing, so there should not have been a problem with the exchange. After all, neither side wished to take such a risk.

But the moment the hostages were exchanged, another round of fighting would begin.

With the help of that Yamanaka girl, they could barely form an imperfect Ino–Shika–Cho formation.

They might not be able to keep their opponents here, but they could at least ensure their comrades' safety.

The target had lost his usefulness, and Teppei no longer wanted to continue fighting. There was no helping it—the risks simply did not match the rewards.

"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. I hope we meet again on the battlefield." Nara Teppei's eyes brimmed with killing intent, though his mood was quite relaxed.

Trading the lives of three Chunin for the Uchiha Clan's supposedly most outstanding genius—no matter how he looked at it, this was an excellent deal.

When he returned to the clan, rewards and commendations were inevitable. More importantly, it would greatly boost the clan's morale.

"Watch out!"

Suddenly, Akimichi Kanbei's heart-wrenching roar rang in his ears.

Alarm surged through him, and Nara Teppei abruptly looked up, thinking the woman intended to make a desperate last stand.

Yet Maya showed no sign of attacking, and that cold-faced man remained standing where he was.

Then it could only be—

Squelch!

A Kunai pierced through his heart. Nara Teppei fell dead without even letting out a grunt.

His former ideals and ambitions vanished along with his fading life.

"Teppei!!!" Rage erupted within Akimichi Kanbei, transforming him completely into a frenzied beast.

Seeing this, Uchiha Izumi charged straight at him, forcing him back with fierce Fire Release and preventing him from advancing even a step.

"Lord Kyosuke!" Maya covered her mouth, staring at the scene before her in utter disbelief.

"I'm fine." Kyosuke tore off his blood-soaked shirt. He looked calm on the surface, but inwardly, he was panicking like crazy.

Before the operation, he had spent a fortune on a "Universal Recovery Capsule."

From the moment night fell, he had kept the capsule in his mouth. The instant he activated the Body Flicker Technique, he bit down and crushed it.

Kyosuke had not expected the Chidori stacked with the Body Flicker Technique to place such a terrifying burden on his body.

The pressure generated in that instant had caused his entire body to collapse.

If he had not had the capsule in his mouth, forget continuing the fight—whether he could even wake up again would have been questionable.

Only this once. I can never do something like this again. Kyosuke gave himself a warning.

In fact, he had already awakened when both sides began the exchange.

Relying on tremendous willpower, Kyosuke forcibly endured the aching pain of his body repairing itself.

He waited for an opportunity while observing the reactions of his two subordinates.

Fortunately, they had not disappointed him. It could be said that only from this moment onward did he truly trust them.

Once Nara Teppei completely let down his guard around him, Kyosuke finally found the perfect opportunity. A single stab with a Kunai was enough to make even a Jonin die on the spot.

System notification: Killed Nara Clan Jonin. Obtained 3100 Points.

Points: 5025.

One life-or-death battle had brought his Points back above five thousand.

And that was not all he had gained.

Name: Uchiha Kyosuke Age: 9 Body Strength: Peak Chunin Mental Strength: Peak Chunin Chakra Amount: Peak Chunin

The recovery capsule had not only healed his injuries, but also unknowingly cured all the lingering ailments caused by years of forced training.

During the repair process, his body had unknowingly grown much stronger. At this moment, all three of his attributes had reached the peak Chunin level.

There was also his Kekkei Genkai: Sharingan (Three-Tomoe).

At the critical moment of that desperate battle, stimulated by extreme emotions, Kyosuke's Sharingan had finally advanced to the Three-Tomoe state.

In other words, when fighting with his Kekkei Genkai, he possessed combat power comparable to a Jonin even in his normal state.

With his body fully repaired, Kyosuke was currently at his peak.

"Treat her a little. Don't let her bleed to death." He pointed at the woman on the ground who had lost an arm.

Then he turned around and locked his gaze on the remaining enemy.

"Lord Kyosuke." Maya was still somewhat worried. After all, injuries healing automatically was far too strange.

"Relax." Without turning his head, Kyosuke said, "My constitution is just a little special. Of course, please make sure to keep it a secret."

With that, he gripped his Short Sword and rushed forward.

"A special constitution..." Maya blinked. Why did she feel like her lord was brushing her off?

The sole remaining Chunin had not only mastered the Yamanaka Clan's secret techniques, but also possessed powerful Water Release.

However, against Kyosuke, whose actual combat power had reached the Jonin level, she had no ability to fight back at all.

With a Body Flicker Technique, Kyosuke appeared behind her in an instant. His Short Sword swept sideways, cleanly severing the woman's throat.

System notification: Killed Yamanaka Clan Chunin. Obtained 430 Points.

Points: 5455.

"The rate at which I'm harvesting Points is getting faster and faster." Kyosuke stopped and looked toward the final enemy, who was gradually losing strength.

Akimichi Kanbei.

For the sake of their retreat, one captive was enough.

The best possible ending for this Jonin was to become Points in Kyosuke's hands.

As his Body Strength increased, he found the Body Flicker Technique increasingly easy to use.

His figure flickered, and Kyosuke appeared directly behind the giant. His Short Sword flashed red as it carved a wound into the enemy's body.

It had to be said that Akimichi Kanbei's strength truly was extraordinary.

Even while being attacked by two people, he had never shown any sign of faltering. Unfortunately, there was still a third Jonin present.

Once Maya freed up her hands and used Genjutsu to control the enemy's body,

Kyosuke finally got his chance and drove his blade straight into the man's heart.

System notification: Killed Akimichi Clan Jonin. Obtained 3800 Points.
