Leaf Village: We Uchiha Are Done Lying Flat! 23

But it had nothing to do with him.

He had clearly made up his mind. From now on, he would get a little closer to Uchiha Jin and Nara Kazama.

As for Ishikawa Itsuki?

Heh heh.

In his eyes, that guy was already dead.

After taking a deep breath, he slowly spoke.

"Alright, it's settled."

"When I'm not with the squad, Ishikawa Itsuki will be the captain."

"Meet at the village gate at eight tomorrow morning. We'll officially head to the Mist Battlefield."

"Go back and prepare yourselves properly."

"..."

On the Eve of Departing for the Battlefield, Shisui Was Extremely Worried

The next day, early morning.

The sky had only just begun to brighten when quite a few shinobi had already gathered at Leaf Village's gates.

Most of them had hopeful looks in their eyes. At a glance, they were young cannon fodder who had just graduated. Only those who had truly been to war, or shinobi from clans, looked more or less tense.

Time slowly passed.

Kudo Shin led Uchiha Jin and the other two over to the leading Jonin, Miyamoto Yukie.

"Lord Miyamoto, B-class Squad 7 reports to you!"

"Mm, go wait."

Miyamoto Yukie nodded.

With a simple nod, she dismissed Kudo Shin and the others.

Once they reached a corner, Kudo Shin spoke in a grave tone.

"Now, let me give you a brief introduction."

"At present, Mist Village and Leaf Village have not actually declared war on each other."

"We can't spare anyone from the other battlefields for now, so we're being sent to the Frontline temporarily, to garrison the former site of the Land of Whirlpools."

"Lord Miyamoto Yukie will be leading our group this time."

"You don't need to understand anything else. Just remember that on the battlefield, once an order comes down from your superiors, you must complete it no matter what."

"What we need to do now is wait!"

"Once the troops have assembled and the supply escort arrives, we'll officially set off."

Nara Kazama and Uchiha Jin both nodded solemnly.

They both understood battlefield discipline very well.

The most important thing on the battlefield was obeying orders from above!

In the Ninja World, shinobi were weapons!

But unfortunately.

Ishikawa Itsuki did not see things that way. He immediately spoke with conviction.

"Everyone, don't worry."

"With me, Ishikawa Itsuki, one of the top three in our class, here, I'll definitely protect all of you."

"All you need to do is believe in me!"

At those words, the corners of Uchiha Jin and Nara Kazama's mouths twitched violently.

Their squad captain was still here, and he was already impatient to take the position?

Where did that leave Kudo Shin?

The two had already looked down on Ishikawa Itsuki somewhat. After this performance, they truly did not know what to say.

They had seen stupid people before.

But never one this stupid!

People like this often died the fastest on the battlefield.

For that very reason, the two secretly resolved to stay far away from him.

As for Kudo Shin, it went without saying.

The look in his eyes as he watched Ishikawa Itsuki was indescribably complicated.

However.

He did not say anything.

Having experienced war, he knew very well that people like this died the fastest on the battlefield. There was no need to lower himself to their level.

Just then, everyone's vision blurred.

When they came back to their senses, they saw an Uchiha clansman with a tachi at his waist and a Flame Uchiha Fan embroidered on his clothes appear before them.

It was Uchiha Shisui!

"Are you Lord Shisui?"

"Greetings, Lord Shisui."

"..."

Everyone spoke up in succession.

That was right.

Although Uchiha Shisui had not yet earned the name Body Flicker Shisui, he had already built a certain reputation within Leaf Village through his frequent appearances on the battlefield.

Unlike ordinary shinobi like them, or the clan's deadweight, Shisui was a prodigy of the Uchiha Clan.

Shisui smiled and nodded. "I have some personal business with Jin."

"Captain, I'm going over for a moment." Uchiha Jin frowned, but still spoke to Kudo Shin.

Kudo Shin naturally nodded.

Right after that.

Uchiha Jin and Shisui headed toward a nearby spot.

As Kudo Shin and Nara Kazama watched Shisui and Jin's backs, their eyes filled with an inexplicable meaning.

That was right.

They knew Jin came from the Uchiha Clan, but they had never expected him to have such a close personal relationship with Shisui, an Uchiha Prodigy.

It seemed.

Their teammate really was not simple!

Meanwhile.

After Uchiha Jin and Shisui walked some distance away, Shisui solemnly handed him a fishnet undershirt.

"I forgot yesterday, so I'm making up for it today."

"The battlefield is extremely dangerous, and it's your first time going to war. As your older brother, I naturally have to fill in the gaps for you."

"This is a Pendant Inner Armor. It contains a small amount of Outer-world Meteorite Iron and Hundred Refined Iron."

"Hurry up and put it on. Let me see."

Uchiha Jin: "..."

Looking at the fishnet outfit before him, he could not help frowning slightly.

As a grown man, he truly did not want to wear this thing. Besides, he was confident that with his abilities, no one could hurt him at all.

But he had no choice!

Looking at Shisui's worried face, his feelings were truly mixed.

He had never expected that, after so many years since transmigrating here, he could still feel such deep care.

Shisui treated him too well!

That only made him more conflicted. After all, the Uchiha Clan's mess was truly not worth mentioning!
