Practice for Two and a Half Years First

Military camp, commander's tent.

"I am very sorry, Lord Rei." Kyosuke understood the importance of humility.

Now that the Clan Head had begun to suppress him openly and covertly, he had to find a backer for himself.

Uchiha Rei was the most suitable candidate.

Killing Tajima in public was his way of pledging loyalty, a token of his surrender.

If not for that, the unlucky fellow didn't deserve to die. He could only say that he deserved to die for jumping out and causing trouble without understanding the situation.

"Hahahaha." Ignoring the fact that Kyosuke had killed someone in broad daylight, Uchiha Rei warmly pulled him over to a nearby seat.

It was clear that the Legion Commander was very satisfied with this token of loyalty.

"My little hero, you're finally back." Uchiha Rei winked at him and said with a half-smile, "Wasn't I right? This Clan Head isn't exactly a magnanimous person."

Hearing this, Kyosuke nodded and said humbly, "It's all thanks to your guidance, sir."

The two discussed the situation within the clan. After a while, the Legion Commander tentatively asked, "Do you want me to assign some men to you?"

"No, thank you." Kyosuke shook his head and refused. "A forced melon isn't sweet. I will prove everything with facts."

"Good, you truly are the future pillar of our clan." Uchiha Rei praised him, but inwardly he couldn't help but chuckle.

Still too naive. The Legion Commander sighed, but he didn't refuse outright after a moment's thought.

In fact, he was also afraid that Kyosuke wouldn't be able to handle the situation. If he caused a major mess, he would be the one cleaning it up in the end.

"Let's train for two and a half years first." Uchiha Rei thus concluded Kyosuke's assignment.

In reality, it wouldn't be difficult to assemble a troop for Kyosuke if he gave the order.

If he couldn't even see this, it meant the young man still needed to grow further.

As for the "facts" the other party mentioned, he was rather noncommittal. On the battlefield, individual strength was very insignificant.

Even someone at the Clan Leader Level couldn't directly counter the smallest-scale Legion Level Ninjutsu.

"How about this." Given Kyosuke's special circumstances, Uchiha Rei gave him a directive for free action. "You handle your missions as you see fit, and your own safety must be the top priority. I don't want to lose you, understand?"

"Yes, sir!"

With such talent, this young man would undoubtedly become his capable subordinate in the future.

Even if he raised him for a few years for free, Uchiha Rei didn't want Kyosuke to risk his life on the front lines.

Unfortunately, his wish was destined to be unfulfilled.

Why did Kyosuke refuse the reinforcements?

The reason was simple: he was afraid that too many subordinates would steal his kills.

A large team meant facing much more dangerous situations.

Not only would it be difficult to harvest points, but there was also the awkward situation of having kills stolen.

After all, not everyone would ignore the benefits brought by meritorious deeds.

Rather than worrying about it later, it was better to fight as a small team of three.

This would not only reduce the impact of his genius reputation but also allow him to lie low in the shadows, waiting for the day he would transform.

Once he possessed sufficient strength, many things would be out of others' control.

Returning to his assigned camp area, Kyosuke tidied up briefly and quickly headed to the war mission assignment point.

At this stage, the three clans whose plans had failed had not made any significant moves.

The situation was relatively stable, and conflicts were limited to small-scale skirmishes.

This was perfect for his actions.

Showing the Legion Commander's token, Kyosuke ignored the mission acceptance rules and began to browse through a thick stack of war requests.

[Mission Name: Infiltrate the Yamanaka clan grounds and investigate enemy strategic deployments. Difficulty: S-Rank.]

"Damn, isn't this just sending me to my death? No, no."

[Mission Name: Raid Akimichi sprouts. Mission Difficulty: S-Rank.]

"Akimichi Mitsuki's daughter? This still means going deep behind enemy lines. This is outrageous."

[Mission Name: Attack the supply team. Difficulty: B-Rank.]

"Hmm, this one looks pretty good."

Taking the mission order, Kyosuke carefully reviewed the mission details.

According to intelligence from spies, the three clans were still continuously transferring their populations.

Having suffered a loss once, their information security measures were very strict this time, making it impossible to ascertain the specific transfer routes.

Therefore, the Legion could only focus on supplies.

No matter where the clan members were sent, they would need to eat and live. Perhaps they could discover something based on the supply transport routes.

"When ninja transport supplies, they must use scroll sealing to simplify travel."

"In other words, the team won't be too large; it should mainly consist of elite escort members."

Jonin are an important strategic force and cannot be dispatched for simple escort missions.

Once an accident occurs, no amount of supplies can compensate for the loss.

Therefore, the obstacles Kyosuke and the others will face are most likely Chunin-level guards formed by the three clans.

This perfectly fits his hunting requirements.

Points: 4124.

Up to this point, Kyosuke has invested enough in his physical combat skills.

Sharingan + Body Flicker Technique + Uchiha Style Swordsmanship are enough to deal with the vast majority of Chunin.

Next, he needs to gradually shift his focus and aim for higher-level enemies.

During this period, he needs to start accumulating points to exchange for advanced Ninjutsu capable of killing Jonin.

The emergence of the Shisui Style Body Flicker Technique has led many to label him a Ninjutsu genius as well.

In reality, Kyosuke doesn't understand creation at all.

Even if he remembers certain Hand Seal sequences, without understanding the corresponding Chakra circulation routes, he cannot reproduce the Ninjutsu.

His only path currently is to use points for exchanges.

When he has free time in the future, he might exchange for some Ninjutsu knowledge, but for now, he will focus all his energy on combat.

Putting away the mission order, Kyosuke turned back to the camp and informed his two subordinates, who were resting, of the news.

"Get ready, we're departing in ten minutes." He then headed to the supply area, intending to use his Unit Captain authority to get some good stuff.

Inside the tent, the two subordinates exchanged glances, each with different thoughts flashing through their minds.

Uchiha Izumi: Lord Kyosuke is truly a pillar of the future; his spirit is very much worth my learning.

Uchiha Maya: Doesn't he need any rest? No wonder he's earned the Young Clan Head's special attention.

Initially, the two had some reservations about Uchiha Madara's orders.

They felt that with their talents, they should have been on the main battlefield fighting.

After some time together, especially after witnessing the scene of him establishing his authority through killing in the camp, they gradually understood that the young man before them was a true genius whose capacity was no less than the Young Clan Head's.

Following him might lead to a bright future.

Ten minutes later

At the camp entrance, the three regrouped.

After evenly distributing the acquired ninja tools and supplies, the team, according to the intelligence, headed in advance to the route the supply train would take.
