"You're going too far!"
Uchiha Hikari was furious, feeling the Legion Commander was being too biased.
The war in the south was gradually coming to an end. What was the most important issue now?
It was, of course, snatching credit.
Just moments ago, his subordinate had secretly intercepted a communication detailing the date the Three Clans would flee their homes.
Overjoyed upon receiving the news, before he could even verify it, his subordinate was ambushed by others.
If he hadn't arrived in time, the intelligence might have been stolen from them.
Kicking away a clan member who dared to cause trouble, Uchiha Hikari really wanted to teach the man a lesson he wouldn't forget.
Unfortunately, the other party's master had arrived.
"Lord Hikari, what great authority you wield." Kyosuke's tone was filled with disdain.
His harsh demeanor made Hikari deeply regret his past actions.
If he hadn't gone all out to save him back then, this guy would have long since turned into a pile of bones.
"Uchiha Kyosuke, I advise you not to go too far." He couldn't be bothered to explain; stealing credit was too common, not even worth criticizing.
Staring down at the young man, Uchiha Hikari said calmly, "Don't forget, it was I who saved your life."
"I advise you to stop flattering yourself," Kyosuke retorted sharply. "If I hadn't appeared, when would the position of Deputy Legion Commander have ever fallen to you?"
"You should be the one kneeling and thanking me."
The two leaders were at each other's throats, and the clan members behind them began to shove each other.
Seeing that an internal conflict was about to erupt, Uchiha Rei, having received word, rushed over.
"Insolent!" a thunderous roar echoed, and terrifying pressure instantly swept through the area.
His muscles tensed, and Kyosuke almost instinctively placed his hand on his sword hilt.
He had no choice; the pressure from a Clan Leader Level was simply too fearsome.
Kyosuke even felt that unless he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape, he wouldn't last three minutes against the Legion Commander.
This was considering his own astonishing speed; an ordinary Jonin would likely be taken down by Uchiha Rei within a few exchanges.
"Clan Leader Level, it truly is another realm."
With the Legion Commander's appearance, both sides naturally knew when to back down.
Uchiha Hikari got the intelligence, and Kyosuke avoided causing an internal conflict. It was a step back for both sides.
"I'll deal with you sooner or later," Hikari threatened before leaving.
Having reached his current position, the next step was to aim for the Legion Commander's throne.
Therefore, sooner or later, he would inevitably clash with Uchiha Rei.
Since that was the case, why bother pretending to be cooperative now?
With the Clan Head's support, he was confident he could eventually defeat Uchiha Rei. After all, there were several hidden old monsters within the clan.
Those were Uchiha Tajima's strongest trump cards.
If they were to make a move, Uchiha Rei would have no chance of survival.
Speaking of which, Uchiha Hikari himself was truly impressive.
Having ascended to the position of Deputy Legion Commander, he hadn't forgotten to diligently cultivate.
In the blink of an eye, two years passed, and he gradually touched the ceiling of a Jonin.
With just a slight push, he could enter a new realm, becoming one of the rare Elite Jonin powerhouses in the clan.
Once he unified the Southern Legion, Hikari would have more time to cultivate. After another ten or twenty years, perhaps he too would have a chance to become a Clan Leader Level existence.
At that time...
A glint of ambition flickered in his eyes. Clearly, the Legion Commander's throne was not enough to satisfy him.
"I won't think about it for now; I need to hurry and intercept them."
As a Deputy Legion Commander who had been deeply entrenched for two years, he commanded over a hundred clan members under his command, all of whom were exceptionally talented ninja warriors.
Ambushing them at the predetermined location in advance would be enough to crush a force several times their size.
In the eyes of many, the Three Clans were now like stray dogs, devoid of fighting spirit, equivalent to a flock of sheep waiting to be slaughtered on the battlefield.
Kyosuke's repeated feats, in his opinion, were simply due to the enemies being too weak.
If it were him...
Alright, Uchiha Hikari admitted that Chidori was an excellent Ninjutsu, but the Uchiha clan had a legacy of a thousand years; surely they had stronger alternatives.
In any case, he would definitely not acknowledge the young man's strength.
"Hmph, you can be smug for a while longer."
"Once we reach the main battlefield, your life and death will be out of your control."
"The Senju are not comparable to those trash."
Returning to the tent, Kyosuke ordered Maya to guard the entrance strictly and not let anyone in.
"No matter how powerful your methods are, today you will drink my foot-washing water."
Changing his clothes, Kyosuke took out his short sword and swung it silently, constantly adjusting his condition.
With the plan progressing to this point, it was almost seventy percent complete.
From the moment he stepped out of the camp, Uchiha Hikari had entered the countdown to his death.
Even so, he was still a little worried, fearing that some accident might occur in the plan, causing the target who should have died to escape.
To ensure nothing went wrong, Kyosuke decided to go himself, and it would be a good opportunity to harvest a little bit of points.
Now he had swordsmanship, and he carried two different types of Body Flicker Technique. With further development, Chidori could meet most of his combat needs.
Next, he wanted to set his sights on an item that could bring about a qualitative change in his strength.
Mangekyo Sharingan.
Exchange requirement: 100,000 points.
Once he activated the Mangekyo, he would leap into the Clan Leader Level, which was what they called Kage-level strength in his previous life.
At that time, his destiny would be in his own hands.
It was the same sentence, he didn't ask for terrifying strength, just enough to always maintain a stable advantage over the two gods.
Look, Little Kyosuke's request was so simple and unpretentious.
After fiddling in the tent alone for a long time, feeling that he had adjusted his condition, Kyosuke simply formed a hand seal, and his figure flashed, disappearing from his original spot.
In the vast camp, not a single person noticed his departure.
When he reappeared, he was already about 2 kilometers outside the camp.
Looking up at the specially made Kunai deeply embedded in the trees, Kyosuke smiled slightly, feeling a sense of freedom to roam anywhere in the world.
With the creation of a batch of specially made Kunai, he had specifically instructed his subordinates to bury these little things at the marked points on the map.
This way, at least in the southern border of the Land of Fire, he could achieve rapid spatial travel.
Unfortunately, the casting range of the Flying Thunder God Technique was limited and could not be compared with other types of space-time ninjutsu.
From the current perspective, 2 kilometers was Kyosuke's limit.
"Space-time ninjutsu of the dojutsu type focuses more on comprehensive abilities."
"The Flying Thunder God is different; its high-frequency flashing at medium distances is its most powerful aspect."
Before his murmurs faded, Kyosuke's figure had already vanished.
Two days later, Uchiha Hikari successfully intercepted the enemy forces.
But the result was completely opposite to what he had expected.
As soon as the battle began, Uchiha fell into a complete disadvantage.
If it weren't for the desperate resistance of his subordinates, he might not have been able to break through the enemy's encirclement.
"Damn it." At this point, how could he not know that he had fallen into Nara's old dog's scheme?
"Don't let me escape alive, or I will surely make you pay with your life in the future." He still fantasized about the day of revenge.
"Unfortunately, you don't have a chance." The sudden murmur made Uchiha Hikari's hair stand on end.
Before he could turn around, a sharp blade light had already enveloped him.
