Sen shook his head to get rid of this strange idea and replied lightly, "Hello."
He looked at the person in charge here, Sarutobi Sasuke, and asked:
"Senior Sasuke, what is the mission of this stronghold?"
Sarutobi Sasuke laughed and waved his hand, "There's no need to be in such a hurry. It's getting dark, you guys are running all the way, and there are still bloodstains on your body. Let's go and rest for the night. We'll talk about the mission tomorrow."
Sen Hand Seals with both hands, a simple Water Release washed away the blood stains on his body when killing bandits along the way.
"Senior, I have a habit of understanding the surrounding situation first when I go to a place, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well at night. Don't worry, I'm just going to investigate."
Looking at Sen's unquestionable sincerity, Sarutobi Sasuke pondered for a moment, then took out a scroll and handed it to him.
"These are the strongholds that will be attacked in the next three months. If we take down these strongholds, we can capture a core city of Iwagakure. This will definitely be a fatal blow to them."
Sen took the scroll and disappeared from everyone's sight in a flash without saying another word.
He didn't notice that while he was talking to Sarutobi Sasuke, Hiruko was staring at him with an extremely suppressed look of resentment.
Hiruko dug his nails into his palms: Why? Why can these so-called geniuses ignore others so naturally?
Uchiha Sen... your Sharingan, sooner or later will be the stepping stone to my success!
The climate in Land of Earth is far more pleasant than that in Land of Wind, at least there is no wind and sand that blocks the sky and the sun.
The figure of Sen is moving quickly through the rugged mountains and rocks, and Advanced Sensory Technique has been driven to the maximum.
Thanks to the system's enhanced physique and Mental Power, no disturbance within a radius of three hundred meters can escape his perception.
As for places farther away, with Sharingan, he can also detect the flow of chakra immediately
Now he is a living humanoid radar.
Soon, he arrived at the first stronghold marked on the scroll.
He lurked in the dark and sensed it carefully. This is a small stronghold, with a core area of only more than thirty square meters. There are ten people in the stronghold. According to the conventional configuration, there are at most one or two Jonin
Sen Slowly pulled out the dagger, took a deep breath, and restrained all his murderous intentions.
Since the death of Elder Sesshō, he has no refuge. Once the war is over, Uchiha Sōgaku will definitely deal with himself.
The only way out is to keep getting stronger! And the fastest way is to hunt enemies and copy entries!
As soon as he thought of this, his figure quietly blended into the shadow of the stronghold.
"Pfft--"
Stone Ninja, who was in charge of perimeter security, felt a chill behind him and his mouth was tightly covered by a big hand.
He didn't even see the enemy's appearance clearly, and his heart was already broken by the sharp blade.
The companion next to him saw this, and just as he was about to open his mouth to warn, a pair of scarlet Three Tomoe Sharingan occupied his entire field of vision.
Sen once again killed the opponent with one blow.
[Kill Stone Ninja, please select the entry to be absorbed: Earth Release·Yansu Collapse, Constitution +1, Mental Power+1]
[Kill Stone Ninja, please select the entry to be absorbed: Earth Release·Earth Splitting, Constitution +1, Mental Power+1]
Sen did not hesitate at all and directly chose two Mental Power.
He had a premonition that when Mental Power broke through a certain threshold, these eyes would undergo the final transformation, and now this threshold was getting closer and closer.
Only by breaking through this threshold can he truly have the power to protect himself.
Seeing that the enemies in the stronghold were not aware yet, Sen jumped up and arrived at the open space in the center of the stronghold.
His chest swelled high, and huge chakra condensed in his throat.
"Fire Release·Great Fire Annihilation!"
The raging sea of fire was like a torrent that burst a dam, swallowing up the entire stronghold in an instant. The screams were drowned out by the roar of the flames after only a few breaths.
The fire lasted for a full minute before gradually dissipating with a strong burnt smell.
Sen sensed it again and found that there were still four people alive.
Two are Jonin in the main tent, and the other two should be ninjas on duty behind the stronghold.
"Earth Release·Earth Style: Flowing Cut!" The two Stone Ninja caused the ground to surge and extinguished the flames.
They retreated continuously, came to the two surviving ninjas, and sternly ordered, "Bring the information back quickly!"
Konoha Here comes Elite Jonin who is very good at fire escape, let the two of us hold him back!"
"Yes!"
While the four of them were communicating information, a figure with green light appeared beside them.
"Actually, compared to fire escape," Sen's voice was as calm as a wave, "I'm better at swordsmanship."
Before he finished speaking, the sword flashed and the head of a Stone Ninja flew up!
The other Jonin was shocked and was about to fight back when Sen's left hand slapped his abdomen like a ghost claw.
Sealing Jutsu·Five Elements Seal!
The huge chakra was cut off instantly, and the Jonin screamed and fell to his knees.
This is naturally Sealing Jutsu copied from Kushina.
"Who... are you?!" Jonin was left paralyzed on the ground, his eyes about to burst.
"Just a passing Konoha Ninja."
Sen replied casually and slashed it with a knife, ending the last chance of life.
He casually wiped off the blood from the blade on the deceased's clothes, unfolded the map, and after confirming the location of the next stronghold, his figure blended into the night again.
After all, he really needs to improve his strength now!
The next morning, Sarutobi Sasuke's stronghold.
"Sasuke Captain, Uchiha, why hasn't that boy come back yet?" Sarutobi Sasuke's men asked impatiently,
"He's about to set off on a mission. What does he think of the ninja's punctuality creed?"
Hiruko on the side snorted coldly and echoed, "He's just arrogant. He can even be late for arriving at the stronghold for the first time because he is a genius. I really don't know how this kind of person became Jonin."
He is now filled with deep-seated hatred for the arrogant genius Uchiha.
Sarutobi Sasuke looked at the time and frowned into the character "Chuan":
"Wait another five minutes. If he doesn't come back in five minutes, we will set off on our own!"
"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison, but their tone was somewhat resentful.
After all, if there is one less Jonin, the pressure will have to be borne by others.
Just as they were checking their equipment and preparing to forcefully set off, a cold wind carrying the moisture of the mountain forest suddenly poured into the stronghold, and a soaked figure appeared in front of them.
"Uchiha Sen, what are you doing? Do you know that ninjas must leave on time to perform their missions? You delayed the entire team's time!"
Sarutobi Sasuke's men asked angrily. In his eyes, this kind of undisciplined behavior was simply unforgivable.
Sen didn't even give the irritable Jonin a spare look, and walked straight towards the stronghold leader Sarutobi Sasuke.
"I encountered some trouble during the investigation and solved it easily."
His voice was as calm as describing the weather, and he threw a ninja tool bag stained with mud and blood on the ground, stirring up a burst of dust.
The subordinate opened the package with a trace of disdain.
He was still complaining about Sen's arrogance in his heart. He felt that the other party was just bringing back a head to show off, which was extremely boring.
However, when the head rolled out of the package and the face distorted by extreme fear was exposed to the sun, his whole body froze.
"This... this is Iwagakure Jonin"Ishite"?!"
He could no longer maintain his composure, and his body trembled and he took a step back.
He couldn't understand how could Iwagakure Jonin, who was famous for his defense and Earth Release, who could hardly win a dozen battles, die like this?
