Leaf Village: I, Uchiha, Am Done Lying Flat! 27

Kill!

Chapter 20: Repelling the Mist, Nara's Strategy

The moment Ishikawa Itsuki finished speaking, he charged out.

Uchiha Jin: "..."

Nara Kazama: "..."

Watching Ishikawa Itsuki rush out, the two of them froze.

Damn it!

They knew Ishikawa Itsuki was useless, but they had never expected him to be this useless!

Especially Uchiha Jin.

He had long known that this guy could never accomplish anything, but was more than capable of ruining things.

But when it actually happened—

He still could not help slapping his forehead and cursing.

"Idiot!"

"Is something wrong with Ishikawa Itsuki's brain?"

Nara Kazama also shook his head with a bitter smile.

Faced with such an exceptional teammate, he was utterly speechless.

However.

As a Nara, his strength might not have been much, but his brain was not bad.

Taking a deep breath, he immediately spoke.

"Even if we want nothing more than to kill him, we still have to save him."

Uchiha Jin was stunned and could not help asking, "Why?"

"Because we're a team!" Nara Kazama glanced discreetly at Kudo Shin before explaining in a low voice. "What if Ishikawa Itsuki survives and reports this to the village?"

"Even if he dies, we still have our captain."

"Our team was thrown together. Is there any trust between us?"

"The two of us were involved and share the same interests, so we can trust each other. But are you absolutely sure Kudo Shin won't snitch?"

"Even if his Chakra is exhausted and he can't hear anything outside while recovering."

"If this gets reported, it'll still count as merit."

"Our captain is a civilian."

"For the sake of that merit, are you sure he won't sell us out?"

Uchiha Jin sucked in a breath.

Then.

When he looked at Nara Kazama again, his gaze had changed.

Damn!

He had known the Nara Clan were smart, but he had never expected them to be this sharp.

Something he had not considered despite living two lives, this guy had thought of instantly—and so damn thoroughly, too.

Nara Kazama was merely from a branch family.

He had not even been worthy of leaving behind a name in the Original Story. So what about the Nara Clan Leader, the Jonin Squad Commander Shikaku Nara?

Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle.

However.

This was not the time to think about that. A scream came from within the thick fog outside.

It was Ishikawa Itsuki's voice.

But how long had it even been?

Uchiha Jin slapped his forehead and spoke with an annoyed expression.

"This idiot!"

"Can't accomplish anything, but he's more than capable of ruining things."

"Fine, let's move."

Having made up his mind, Uchiha Jin no longer hesitated.

He immediately rushed out, his hands rapidly forming seals.

"Fire Release, Great Fireball Technique!"

His mouth opened slightly, and he spewed out a massive fireball that swept toward the source of the sound.

Nara Kazama did not hesitate either.

"Wind Style, Tornado Hurricane!"

His hands rapidly formed seals, and a massive tornado rose out of thin air.

The wind fed the flames, and the flames bolstered the wind.

Under the hurricane's influence, the Great Fireball became even more violent, directly blowing away the Hidden Mist Technique.

The three Mist Ninja attacking Ishikawa Itsuki were torn apart in an instant by the dual assault of wind and fire Ninjutsu.

Uchiha Jin could not help showing surprise at the sight.

That was a B-rank Wind Style Ninjutsu. It seemed this teammate of his was not as simple as he had imagined!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Just then, the Mist Village made their move.

One group of Ninja kept throwing Kunai, while another ran toward the supplies.

"I'll handle these Ninja," Uchiha Jin said. "Kazama, go protect the supplies!"

Nara Kazama nodded.

Without hesitation, he turned and headed straight for the supplies.

Seeing this, Uchiha Jin drew a Kunai and casually knocked away the ones flying at him. Then, moving at top speed, he charged at the Mist Ninja.

He was incredibly fast.

Even without using Ninjutsu or the Six Powers, his Taijutsu far surpassed that of ordinary Ninja.

With only basic Taijutsu, none of these Mist Ninja before him could withstand even a single move from him.

In the blink of an eye, he instantly killed one of them.

"How is this possible?"

"Three Leaf Village Ninja who can use Ninjutsu—this is an elite Leaf Village squad."

"The intelligence was wrong. Retreat!"

After seeing this, the two leading Mist Ninja shouted and did not pause for even a moment.

They turned and fled!

As for the few Mist Ninja who had been killed, no one cared about them at all.

Meanwhile.

Nara Kazama had just killed one man when the other Mist Ninja quickly fled.

Seeing this, he immediately ran over and asked Uchiha Jin.

"Should we chase them?"

Uchiha Jin rolled his eyes.

He did not even know how to complain about this teammate of his.

By now, he was certain.

Nara Kazama was definitely no ordinary Ninja. With that Wind Style technique alone, he was qualified to enter the elite Class A.

Yet after exposing his strength, he was still acting as though Uchiha Jin were the leader.

However.

Thinking of the other members of the Nara Clan, that seemed to be a Nara tradition.
