Leaf Village: I, an Uchiha, Am Done Lying Flat! Chapter 26

Even if he really exposed the matter, it would not have much impact on him.

As a genius clansman, even Fugaku would be reluctant to punish him, let alone over a few dead people.

As for Hiruzen Sarutobi, that was not too important either.

To put it bluntly,

this was also an internal matter of the Uchiha Clan. According to Leaf Village's rules, clans governed their own affairs.

The Leaf Village's affairs were decided by the Hokage.

If war broke out, the Hokage had the right to mobilize every clan.

But at the same time,

the Hokage had no right to interfere in each clan's internal affairs.

Therefore,

as long as Fugaku did not move against him, his safety would not be a problem.

At worst, the Third Hokage's faction would keep an eye on him. But with his current strength, as long as Hiruzen Sarutobi did not want to tear all pretenses apart, he could not openly deal with him.

The only one he needed to consider was Pot Kage Danzo!

That man's attitude toward the Uchiha Clan had already reached a pathological level.

If he learned of this, he would definitely make a move against him.

But that was fine.

As long as Danzo did not personally appear and mobilize all of Root's experts, even if he could not win, he could still escape.

Therefore,

taking a slight risk to test Shisui

was a worthwhile deal!

After all, Shisui treated him too well. He truly could not bear to watch him die.

If the test failed, then when the time came, he would simply save Shisui's life.

But if the test succeeded, it meant that he was more important to Shisui than he had imagined.

In that case,

he would have a chance to change Shisui!

Sooner or later, he was bound to become enemies with Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others.

He was not afraid on his own, but he was still outnumbered and alone.

If he could bring Shisui over to his side, it would be a good thing for him as well.

After all,

Shisui was considered a true genius within the Uchiha Clan.

As long as he did not die young, his future would be unimaginable.

After all, his Mangekyo possessed the strongest genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami!

"Shisui!"

"I've given you a chance. Don't let me down."

"Leave everything to time."

Time slowly passed.

Three days later.

Just as they arrived at the Land of Fire Border and prepared to find a ship to head to the Land of Fire, two Mist Village squads suddenly rushed out.

"Hidden Mist Technique!"

The captains leading the two squads rapidly formed hand seals the instant they attacked.

Immediately afterward,

as the two Mist Ninja opened their mouths, thick mist spread through the Transport Squad.

"Protect the convoy! Be careful and defend against the enemy!"

Kudo Shin let out a roar, then quickly began forming hand seals.

"Earth Style: Earth Wall!"

Rumble!

Countless clumps of earth surged upward, instantly forming a towering wall that shielded the convoy behind it.

Kudo Shin did not stop afterward, continuing to form hand seals without pause.

Only after casting the technique three times and creating three earthen walls did he finally stop, his face pale.

His Chakra was exhausted!

There was nothing he could do about that.

He was merely an ordinary civilian Chunin. Being able to achieve this much was already outstanding.

And that was indeed the case.

With the three earthen walls raised, the two Mist Village squads were blocked off.

Unless a true expert stepped in, ordinary ninja truly had no effective way to break through them.

The fact that two people in the two Mist Village squads could use the Hidden Mist Technique already showed that they were Mist Village elites.

After all,

even Leaf Village ninja only learned the basic Three Body Technique after graduating.

Leaf Village was the strongest ninja village.

From that alone, one could imagine the state of Mist Village, which was even inferior to Leaf Village.

When ordinary ninja fought, they basically just clashed with Kunai.

Their Three Body Technique was inferior to Leaf Village's as well.

As Kudo Shin acted, the convoy formed a circle, and the squads gathered together.

"My Chakra is exhausted. I need ten minutes to recover."

"During that time, I'm counting on you."

"But don't be afraid. The Mist Village ninja across from us won't dare to act rashly."

After saying that, Kudo Shin swallowed a Ration pill and sat cross-legged on the ground to recover.

Uchiha Jin and the other two exchanged glances, their brows lightly furrowing.

"Jin, what do you think?" Nara Kazama asked.

Uchiha Jin was momentarily taken aback before he replied, "The enemy is hidden while we're exposed. We should defend."

Nara Kazama nodded.

He felt there was nothing wrong with Uchiha Jin's idea.

The Mist Village ninja were concealed in the dark. If they acted rashly, they would only be separated and picked off.

But unfortunately,

although the two of them had settled on a plan, Ishikawa Itsuki could not hold himself back.

He had long disliked the two of them and had been suppressing a bellyful of anger throughout the journey.

Now,

the two had chosen the defensive approach he disliked most, and he immediately could not endure it any longer.

"You two really are cowards!"

"They're just two squads of Mist Ninja. I really don't know what you're afraid of."

"Don't forget, I'm in the top three of our class."

"I came to the battlefield to kill enemies and earn merit, not to play house with you."

"Heh, don't worry."

"If you run into danger, I, one of the top three in our class, will definitely save you."

"And don't forget."

"We already agreed that if anything happened to the captain, I would be the acting captain."

"I now declare that we will launch an active attack!"

"I'll beautifully counterkill these two Mist Village squads and let them know how formidable Leaf Village ninja are."
