The All-Rounder Uchiha

The fact that members of the Uchiha had joined Root was unexpected for Yichen, but it was also important information.

The Uchiha Clan was confined to the Security Force, meaning that ninjas from other countries wouldn't encounter the Sharingan while on missions. But now that members of the Uchiha Clan have joined Root, it means the Sharingan is about to become active in the Ninja World again.

But that's a story for later. Yichen is in trouble now. The Root team behind him has no intention of letting Yichen go. Instead, they have started searching the surrounding area.

Yichen wasn't worried for the time being. His perception range was vast, and they had been quite far away just now. So, according to normal thinking, this Root team should only be searching in their vicinity.

However, with his Sharingan, Yichen wasn't sure if the other party could discover any clues. It was best to retreat first.

At this point, Yichen began to regret his decision; he should have brought his three subordinates with him.

The existence of the Sharingan means that the Camouflage Jutsu has failed, the original sneaky plan cannot be carried out, and things will get tough from here on out.

If my subordinates were here now, it would be four against four. If we launched a direct attack and then ambushed them, we might be able to take down this Uchiha.

Although we don't know how many Sharingan there are in Root, what if this is the only pair? Even if there are others, even if the plan fails, bringing back a pair of Sharingan would still be a great achievement.

But it was too late for regrets now. Yichen dared not fight four opponents alone. His current strength was only average among Jonin, and it was impossible for him to fight four opponents and kill them.

Because Yichen has just made up for his Yichen is now like a well-rounded warrior, without any obvious weaknesses, but also without any outstanding strengths.

Against a similarly versatile fighter, Yichen can put up a fight and then win by virtue of his broad knowledge. However, if he encounters Jonin a certain area, Yichen, as a versatile fighter, will have a hard time. He lacks both an effective means to defeat the enemy in one blow and a strong defense to withstand the opponent's killing moves.

The Uchiha is renowned for its Taijutsu), and Yichen had seen many examples in the original work of how the Sharingan could enhance Taijutsu. Therefore, even in a one-on-one fight against this Uchiha, Yichen couldn't guarantee a victory, let alone with three teammates.

Therefore, Yichen's first reaction was to retreat.

However, Yichen made another mistake. If Yichen had stayed put, the enemy might have searched the vicinity without success and then left. After all, the enemy wouldn't normally expect to be able to scout from that distance; they're not like the Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan or the insects of the Aburame Clan.

But as soon as Yichen moved, a ninja skilled in Wind Release noticed something amiss. He exchanged a hand signal with his three companions and quickly approached Yichen.

Yichen only noticed the other party closing in halfway, because his Sensory Ninjutsu had stopped when he got up to leave. Furthermore, because of the distance, Yichen n't initially pay much attention to the Root team's movements; instead, he was thinking about the related matters stemming from his Sharingan.

By the time Yichen spotted the other party, the distance had narrowed from about 4 kilometers to 2 kilometers.

Startled, Yichen quickly sped up; if he didn't run, he would be entangled.

Because Yichen knew the location of the main force at the Root, he chose a direction away from the Root.

After the other party noticed this, there was a noticeable pause, and then Yichen discovered that one of the four had left the group, and judging from the direction, he should have gone back to report the news.

Yichen gritted his teeth. This was the advantage of having more people. He was only one person on his side, and he couldn't split his forces even if he wanted to. Meanwhile, the enemy could maintain their superior forces to pursue him while also sending people to request reinforcements.

Then consider that this Root squad came out to find a suitable ambush location. There might be other Root squads nearby. Even if there are no Root squads, if one or two Rain Village squads come out to harass Yichen, it will be enough to make Yichen suffer.

With that in mind, Yichen had no choice but to speed up again.

Yichen's Taijutsu skills were already quite good, and after he increased his speed, he found that one of the three people following behind was actually falling behind.

"Um?"

"Is that even possible?" After thinking for a moment, Yichen pretended to make two hand seals while running, and then his figure flashed and appeared 50 meters ahead. He ran forward for a while, made two more hand seals, and then his figure darted forward another 50 meters.

After several attempts, the remaining two Root ninjas also found it difficult to keep up.

The two exchanged a glance and began Hand Seals to unleash the Body Flicker Technique. The Uchiha ninja was even able to use two hand seals to perform the Body Flicker Technique, and he could even perform it twice in a Body Flicker Technique.

Thus, the four figures, who were fleeing and being pursued by three, gradually increased the distance between them.

Yichen was running in the lead, with the Uchiha in second place chasing after him, and the distance between them was closing. Meanwhile, the distance between the third and fourth runners and those in front was slowly increasing.

Hehe, it's true that reading novels and watching TV shows has its benefits. This seems to be a tactic invented by some Western duelist in my past life.

Separate the enemies by using speed differences, then kill them one by one; the rest depends on whether you can finish the battle quickly.

However, the first one to rush over was that Uchiha, which makes things a bit tricky.

What is the Uchiha's strongest skill? First, taijutsu (Taijutsu) combined with the Sharingan, so close combat is out of the question. Second, Fire Release, but that's not a problem; their strongest skill is Water Release. Finally, Sharingan Genjutsu (illusionary techniques). Hmm... should they use Genjutsu to trick the opponent?

Although my skill in magic is not high, my strong mental power gives me high Genjutsu Resistance. If I pretend to be affected, could I launch a sneak attack when the enemy is not paying attention?

No, no, the Sharingan can see the flow of Chakra; a sneak attack is impossible.

We still have to fight it head-on.

As Yichen fled, his thoughts drifted further and further away.

Finally, he was awakened by several Kunai that came from behind.

Uchiha Clan also possesses the Ninja World Shuriken -throwing technique.

Now Yichen is starting to doubt whether he can really defeat his opponent.

As Ninjutsu- type ninja, would I still have a chance to Ninjutsu Uchiha who could wield Shuriken with incredible skill?

He couldn't run anymore. After dodging two Shuriken and then successfully avoiding a second Shuriken attack with preparation, Yichen made up his mind.

The distance between the two sides has now closed to about 100 meters. Yichen began to Hand Seals again. At first, the Uchiha behind him did not pay attention, but when they saw that Yichen did not stop after forming two hand seals, but instead formed more and more, they realized that something was wrong.

Realizing that Yichen wasn't planning to run away and intended to fight head-on, the Uchiha began Hand Seals for the Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu. Although he didn't know what Ninjutsu Yichen intended to use, the Great Fireball Technique was the fastest Ninjutsu he could execute, so choosing it was definitely the right choice.

With Yichen deliberately slowing down, the opponent's Hand Seals were faster than Yichen's, allowing him to complete the Ninjutsu first.

Seeing this, the Uchiha's lips curled into a slight smile. What a piece of trash. Then his smile froze. Because he saw that Yichen didn't release Ninjutsu, but instead flashed forward a great distance.

The Uchiha, still maintaining the Great Fireball Jutsu, froze for a moment before realizing what had happened. Damn it, he'd been tricked! Yichen wasn't actually trying to use any Ninjutsu; he was clearly just pretending to form Hand Seals to distract him from his Body Flicker Technique.

After the Uchiha interrupted his Great Fireball Jutsu, Yichen used the Body Flicker Technique a second time.

Damn it, seeing the distance he had finally closed widen again, the Uchiha gritted his teeth and began to chase with all his might once more.

Heh! The Uchiha who was chasing heard a soft laugh coming from ahead, and he was furious.

He was already reluctant to join Root, and the fact that he Root, Uchiha, wasn't even a squad leader after Jonin made him even more upset. He endured all that, but now he was also being subtly monitored by other Root member. This made the proud Uchiha extremely eager to prove himself.

Yichen's appearance was undoubtedly a good opportunity. Now, one of his teammates had gone back to report the news, and the other had been left behind with the captain. Once he successfully killed Yichen, he would see if the captain would still have the face to command him.

The idea was good, but the only embarrassing thing was that he had been tricked by Yichen. The thought that the captain chasing behind must have seen this scene made it impossible for this Uchiha to calm down.

Uchiha had resumed his pursuit, stared intently at Yichen with his Sharingan. As long as Yichen's Chakra reacted, he would be able to immediately determine whether the other party was about to use the Body Flicker Technique or an offensive Ninjutsu.

You're still too green to try and outsmart the Sharingan.

Yichen naturally understood the terrifying power of the Sharingan. He had only provoked the other party once by taking advantage of their carelessness. If he tried to provoke them a second time, he would only be outmaneuvered and targeted by the other party's own scheme. Yichen was no fool.

Running a little longer like this will allow the Uchiha to widen the gap between himself and his companions behind him.

After a while, the distance between the two closed to about 100 meters, and Yichen knew that the opponent's Shuriken were coming again. Sure enough, several whistling sounds came, and this time there were at least five Shuriken.

However, Yichen was prepared this time. His Body Flicker Technique didn't take him in a straight line, but instead veered slightly to one side. He perfectly dodged all the Shuriken and made all the second-stage attacks of the Shuriken miss.

However, this did achieve the Uchiha's goal of closing the distance between them. After two more Body Flicker Technique, the two were less than 50 meters apart, and another Body Flicker Technique would bring them close to each other.

Yichen knew he had to make a move, and his hands Hand Seals once more.

The Uchiha who had been intently watching Yichen immediately realized, "Hmm? They're getting serious."

In response, the Uchiha once again Great Fireball Jutsu.

But then something surprising happened.

"Damn it, this guy was hiding his strength." This time, Yichen's Hand Seals speed was completely different from before, exceeding 5 seals per second, which was considered a minor bug in a battle at the Jonin level.

Yichen's Hand Seals were fast, and he Hand Seals before his opponent. However, Yi Chen's Rain Style: Heavy Rain Jutsu required eight hand seals, while his opponent's Great Fireball Jutsu only required six. Therefore, although Yichen used his Ninjutsu first, it was predictable that his opponent would be able to use Great Fireball Jutsu to block Yichen's attack before it reached him.

However, this Uchiha was not relieved; he was only panicked. The moment the Yichen Ninjutsu was successfully executed, he had already determined that it was not a wide-range attack Ninjutsu, but a single-target Ninjutsu with strong lethality within a small area.

This kind of Ninjutsu cannot be stopped by the Great Fireball.

"Damn it. There's no time to change my moves." The Uchiha gritted his teeth and decided to Great Fireball Jutsu first. At the very least, the Great Fireball Jutsu could disrupt Yichen's vision and give him a chance to dodge later.
