Three days later, Mito Uzumaki prepared to say goodbye and leave.
She ran away from home this time to check on Kyosuke's safety.
Logically speaking, she should have chosen to return to the Land of Whirlpools long ago, but she has been reluctant to leave for some reason.
Now that they've openly appeared at the Uchiha Clan's outpost, news of it won't be long before it spreads.
To prevent further conflict between the two clans, the only option left for Mito was to leave as soon as possible.
"I'm leaving~" Standing at the entrance of the Camp, the girl swayed her Ponytail and stared at the boy with her big, bright eyes.
"Okay, be careful on your way." Kyosuke said, looking at Uchiha Izumi beside him and the escort team he had specially assembled.
The team members are all elites, not only highly skilled, but also all proficient in the Chidori Technique.
With his specially made "Warning Pouch," it's enough to ensure the little girl's safe return to the Land of Whirlpools.
The Warning Pouch, which looks somewhat like a purse, can be crushed to alert Kyosuke, no matter how far away he is.
Using the Space-Time Coordinates scattered throughout the Land of Fire, he can quickly travel to any location to carry out seemingly impossible rescue operations.
"Rest assured, sir, I will do my utmost to deliver Miss Mito safely."
"Okay." Kyosuke nodded, gesturing with his eyes that they could leave.
The necessary words have already been exchanged countless times over the past three days, so there's no need to say anything more before I leave.
That's what he thought, but Mito had a different idea.
There's nothing we can do about it; the boy is just that popular within the Uchiha.
What if something unexpected happens while she's not around?
On the surface, she nodded and prepared to turn and leave, but in reality, her big eyes darted around, seemingly searching for someone.
Soon, Maya, who had been acting suspiciously in the distance, appeared.
He handed a large megaphone to Princess Uzumaki, then turned and Quietly Growing left the way he had come.
Of course, she didn't go far; after all, she had been looking forward to what was about to happen for several days.
"Ahem." Raising the megaphone that Maya had prepared, Mito took a deep breath, and her voice, amplified, instantly spread throughout the entire Camp.
"Kyosuke! You absolutely have to come and marry me soon!!!"
You absolutely must come and marry me...
Come and marry me...
Marry me...
In an instant, the entire camp fell into an eerie silence.
Tajima, who was eating, froze...
Madara Uchiha, who was instructing his subordinates on training, was stunned...
Uchiha Izuna, who rushed back to the camp, was stunned...
Uchiha Kei, who had remained secluded at home for three days, was stunned...
The entire Uchiha seemed to be put on pause, everyone wondering which girl was so brave.
"Hehe, now I guess no one will bother with him." The Ponytail Princess smiled contentedly, dropped the megaphone, and ran off into the distance.
Inside the Camp, Kyosuke covered his face with his hands, thinking it best to stay away for the time being.
Those Army Commander were all incredibly sharp-tongued; he prided himself on his eloquence, but he certainly couldn't hold his own against a group of scholars.
It would be more like a verbal battle with a group of women.
Unfortunately, things didn't stay peaceful. Before Kyosuke could recover from the embarrassment of his public confession, someone barged into the tent in a flurry of activity.
"Haha, you really didn't die."
The visitor was none other than Uchiha Izuna, who had gone out for training.
The training Uchiha Camp on the back mountain of the Training Ground.
"Sigh." Feeling the strange looks around him, Kyosuke sighed deeply, lamenting that he had really done something terrible.
He was naturally very happy that Izuna had returned.
They invited Madara Uchiha, and the three brothers reunited after a long time, enjoying hot pot and singing songs. It couldn't have been more pleasant.
Unfortunately, he had the nerve to ask about Izuna's training progress, which led to the scene we see now.
"Hmph." Perhaps sensing his perfunctory attitude, Izuna crossed his arms like his older brother and said smugly, "You'd better watch out, it would be a huge embarrassment if you lost to me."
"Don't worry, that won't happen."
"Tch, if you're so capable, then don't use Mangekyō."
"Okay, then I won't use it."
The kid's grown up; he even knows how to use chicken sauce now.
Kyosuke hadn't planned to use the Mangekyō in the first place; eye power is a very precious thing.
While pupil power can indeed recover slowly over time, without replenishment, each use of it will correspondingly lower the maximum pupil power.
Once the upper limit is lowered to a certain level, symptoms such as blurred vision will appear.
It's a friendly match, there's no need to go all out, and besides, that kid Izuna might not even have that kind of strength.
"Don't underestimate him, Kyosuke," Madara Uchiha suddenly said with a smile.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Izuna suddenly appeared in front of him, his long sword raised, and a terrifying slash came crashing down upon him.
Uchiha Style: Sword Leap Flame!
"Such speed." Kyosuke subconsciously activated his Sharingan.
He activated the Chidori Blade, barely managing to parry the sudden attack.
Only now did he realize that Izuna was no longer the little brat he could easily dismiss.
In the original storyline, Izuna was hailed as a formidable enemy who "almost never revealed a weakness."
Even Tobirama Senju, who had successfully mastered Secret Technique such as Flying Thunder God, Shadow Clone, and Impure World Reincarnation, couldn't gain the upper hand against him before successfully advancing to the Second Stage.
This shows that Izuna's strength is absolutely terrifying.
"Interesting." Kyosuke, who had just suffered a slight loss, suddenly unleashed his Chakra and forcefully sent him flying.
Then he unleashed the Chidori Sharp Spear, and a five-meter-long Lightning Blade instantly appeared before his opponent.
As a result, Izuna nimbly rolled away and easily dodged the attack.
"This guy is incredibly agile," Kyosuke frowned, increasingly surprised.
Izuna is extremely agile, with excellent body flexibility, and combined with his superb swordsmanship, he can easily deal with all kinds of attacks.
Most importantly, his mastery of Fire Release techniques is even greater than that of the Dance King.
While using the Body Flicker Technique to dodge, Kyosuke pondered a certain question.
What exactly are the abilities of Uchiha Izuna's Mangekyou Mangekyō?
Towards the end of the Fourth Great Ninja War, Tobirama Senju praised Sasuke, saying that he had never seen such a powerful Kagutsuchi.
This means he had seen this Dojutsu before.
Considering Tobirama's formidable mastery of Water Release techniques, only Izuna possessing the Kagutsuchi would be qualified to fight him to a draw.
This Dojutsu can manipulate all flames, including Amaterasu; extinguishing them naturally grants it an enhancement.
"A very good ability, it greatly improves one's basic strength."
With a light laugh, Kyosuke tossed out a Special-Made Kunai.
"Flying Thunder God?" Izuna turned slightly to the side in confusion, wondering if he had gone mad.
Given an understanding of the principles of Ninjutsu, isn't this attack rather childish?
Whoosh! Kyosuke's figure disappeared along with the Kunai.
When Izuna regained his senses, a cut had appeared in the front of his clothes.
The outcome is decided!
Kyosuke Katsumi.
