Finally, Uchiha Rei agreed to his plan of action.
Returning to the tent, Kyosuke informed the other two of the news, hoping they could prepare themselves mentally.
"Hehehe," Uchiha Maya chuckled, fiddling with a pale pink kunai. "I told you, Lord Kyosuke, I'd follow you even to the Pure Land if you wanted to go."
"Me too," Uchiha Izumi nodded beside her. Since being promoted to Jonin, he had become increasingly taciturn.
To be precise, it was influenced by the bloodline within him.
The Second Hokage once said that the Uchiha were a cursed clan, and now Kyosuke increasingly agreed with that statement.
Speaking of Tobirama Senju, his thoughts drifted thousands of miles away.
If he calculated correctly, Madara was now eleven years old. If the plot hadn't changed, he would have likely become friends with Hashirama Senju.
The meeting of the two would signify the official countdown to the Warring States Period.
The era of Ninja Villages was about to begin, provided they could overcome the obstacles set by the older generation of ninja.
It was still too early to discuss that.
Shaking his head, Kyosuke refocused his attention on the current situation.
A year of relentless killing had successfully landed him on the enemy's kill list.
He didn't need to think to know that many eyes were watching him, constantly looking for an opportune moment to strike.
Since that was the case, he might as well take the initiative.
If you don't move, I won't move. But if I move, you'll feel the pain.
It was like dating; if the woman didn't give him a chance, the man would forever linger at the entrance.
Now, Kyosuke was giving the three clans an opportunity to assassinate him.
As for his confidence in dealing with them, firstly, Uchiha Izumi had officially established himself among the Jonin.
He was a trump card.
Uchiha Maya, through years of constant combat, had developed extraordinary Genjutsu skills.
Not long ago, their squad was ambushed by a Jonin. At a critical moment, her Sharingan finally evolved into the Three Tomoe form.
She had become a Genjutsu specialist Jonin, essentially an enhanced version of Kurenai Yuhi.
Two Jonin-level combatants.
As for Kyosuke himself...
[Name: Uchiha Kyosuke] [Age: 9] [Physical Strength: Chunin] [Mental Strength: Peak Chunin] [Chakra Amount: Peak Chunin] [Mastered Abilities: Uchiha Style Swordsmanship (Level 5), Three Body Technique (Level 5), Throwing Technique (Level 6), Chakra Control Technique (Level 4), Hand Seals (Level 4), Shisui Style Body Flicker Technique (Level 3), Chidori (Level 2)] [Kekkei Genkai: Sharingan (Two Tomoe)] [Summoning Beast: None] [Ninja Tools: N/A] [Points: 1275]
He had been fighting for his life for the past year, not having much time to consolidate his power.
The results were remarkable, and the points gained were considerable. His various combat skills had also improved to varying degrees.
However, in terms of raw strength, he ultimately couldn't break through the Chunin barrier.
Yet, in terms of mid-range destructive power, Izumi and Maya combined couldn't match his terrifying deterrent.
The reason for this was that Kyosuke had exchanged for an A-rank Ninjutsu.
It was also the Ninjutsu most suited for Uchiha cultivation: Chidori!
Chidori was a Ninjutsu developed by Hatake Kakashi during his youth.
This Jutsu gathered Lightning Release Chakra in the palm, forming a high-intensity current.
The palm acted like a sharp blade, possessing extreme piercing power.
When activating the technique, it sounded like a thousand birds chirping, hence its name.
To enhance its piercing power, it required a certain distance of charge during an attack. Moving too fast could invite enemy counterattacks, thus it had to be used in conjunction with the Sharingan.
Paired with his Sharingan, the actual power of Chidori was not inferior to S-rank Ninjutsu. 12,000 points were well worth it.
After all, the exchange for Rasengan required a hefty 10,000 points, and its usage requirements were far higher than Chidori.
With Kyosuke's current strength at peak Chunin, as long as he was given enough opportunity, killing a Jonin would be no problem.
Another important point was that the subsequent form changes of Chidori were very suitable for Kyosuke to use.
With it, it means that many different applications of Ninjutsu can be derived.
Defensive Chidori Flow, mid-range Chidori Sharp Spear, close-range Chidori Blade, and so on.
With subsequent Lightning Release: Kirin, it's not impossible to develop it if Kyosuke is given enough time.
During his leisure time, he would begin to read books, continuously enriching his understanding of "Jutsu."
Such perfect Ninjutsu, anyone would be tempted to exchange for it.
Why weren't the two worried at all?
It was only because they themselves knew clearly just how terrifying the true combat power of their squad had reached.
If the Ino-Shika-Cho were to come, they would have to pay a heavy price.
If that weren't the case, Kyosuke would have to be out of his mind to proactively devise a decoy plan.
Besides changing the tide of the battle, this move could also help him establish the Southern Legion's position in one fell swoop.
If he truly wanted to fall out with Uchiha Tajima, he would need to possess sufficient bargaining chips to contend with him.
Military deterrence, earth-shattering merits, plus the "gift" prepared in advance, the superposition of these three would be enough for him to gather a large number of loyal subordinates.
No matter what the future situation holds, the Uchiha Clan will always have a place for Kyosuke.
Even if he falls out with the Dance King in the future, he could just start over. With people under him, he wouldn't panic wherever he went.
In the southern part of the Land of Fire, near the border, in a certain canyon.
The unified stronghold of the three clans was being secretly established here.
In such a hidden location, without the help of the Hyuga Clan, no one would be able to track them down.
Sitting in the tent, Akimichi Mitsuki sighed as he looked at the battle report on the table.
Uchiha Rei's heart ached, and he was also worried about the high casualties.
The Uchiha Clan was so powerful. Even with certain advantages in tactics and favorable strategic policies, they had still been unable to secure a decisive victory in so many engagements.
"Why sigh?" A light laugh came from outside the tent. The curtain was lifted, and Naruto Higashihiko walked in with a smile.
Naruto Higashihiko, the current head of the Nara Clan, had reached the level of Elite Jonin.
He was a prominent figure in the Land of Fire, someone whom everyone had to be wary of.
"You're not panicking at all," Akimichi Mitsuki said grumpily. "My clansmen are on the front lines. If this continues, we'll be wiped out."
"Don't be angry," Naruto Higashihiko waved his hand, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable light. "I said I would give you a satisfactory plan as soon as possible."
As he spoke, he placed a blank piece of paper in front of his friend.
It displayed a string of garbled code. Akimichi Mitsuki, being a rough fellow, would definitely not recognize the secret message he had carefully prepared.
Fortunately, Naruto Higashihiko understood him well enough to personally write the translation of the secret message next to it.
With a simple glance, the Akimichi Clan Head instantly stood up, letting out bursts of hearty laughter. "Haha, he's finally taken the bait."
According to the intelligence, the Vile Rakshasa was Uchiha Rei's most capable subordinate, an existence that was absolutely precious to him.
By capturing him, they could definitely curb the Uchiha's counterattack.
Otherwise, the Southern Legion would bear the infamy of abandoning a hero and the hope of the future.
Uchiha Rei, who was vying for the position of Clan Head, would absolutely not stand by and watch his reputation be tarnished.
To carry out the capture, Naruto Higashihiko had secretly set up many traps.
Heaven rewards the persistent; he had finally found an opportunity.
