Killing Sunagakure Ninja, Gloom Appears!

"Damn it, you've awakened your Sharingan?"

Looking at Uchiha Jin's Sharingan, the Sunagakure ninja was stunned, his voice starting to crack.

But it was too late!

He froze in place, instinctively disrupting the Chakra within his body.

In just one or two seconds, by the time he snapped back to reality, Uchiha Jin had already slit his throat with a Kunai.

"You..."

He instinctively clutched his neck, but blood still spurted out, and he finally collapsed to the ground.

Uchiha Jin didn't spare him another glance and used the Body Flicker Technique to reach Nara Shikaichi's side, blocking a Sunagakure ninja in front of him. As Nara Shikaichi breathed a sigh of relief, his hand seals moved slightly faster than before, and the Shadow Secret Technique took the opportunity to entangle the enemy.

Seeing this, Uchiha Jin didn't hesitate and used a Kunai to shred the enemy's heart!

Immediately after.

The two exchanged a glance, without a word, and simultaneously went to support Kakashi.

With the addition of two teammates, Kakashi finally breathed a slight sigh of relief. He didn't bother to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and charged forward again with his sword.

One minute later, the Sunagakure ninja was dead!

Only then did the three have time to look back, and their hearts sank to the bottom.

The casualties were too heavy!

Although their squad had killed four people, the other squads couldn't hold off the elite Sunagakure ninja. They couldn't even manage the most basic delaying tactics. Now, looking around, there were corpses everywhere, and countless supplies were damaged.

"What do we do?"

Nara Shikaichi's face was grim.

Kakashi flicked his short sword, shaking off the bloodstains. "We have to help."

"Yes, we must help!" Uchiha Jin's eyes flickered. "Otherwise, we'll die too!"

"However, we don't have the ability to kill all the Sunagakure ninja, so I suggest we delay as much as possible. After all, the Distress Flare has already been fired, and the Kikyo Mountain base camp will arrive in at most fifteen minutes."

The other two had no objections.

Immediately after.

The three of them charged out again. This time, they didn't go all out, but conserved their strength to delay as much as possible.

The Jonin fighting the strong Sunagakure ninja above also sent two of their own back, which barely stabilized the situation.

Eight minutes later.

Two squads composed entirely of Anbu, all Jonin, arrived. Seeing this, Sunagakure quickly began to retreat, but they were still wiped out by the combined attack of both sides. They even captured the leading Sunagakure Jonin.

Even Uchiha Jin's squad took the opportunity to eliminate two Chunin while the Sunagakure ninja were retreating.

"Collect the bodies and clean up the battlefield."

"Jonin Toyama Ryuichi, this is yours to handle. We need to bring back the prisoners."

The leading Anbu's tone was icy.

Toyama Ryuichi naturally had no objections. Watching the Anbu leave with the prisoners, he issued orders to everyone: "Collect the bodies and clean up the battlefield within ten minutes. We need to head to the front-line camp as soon as possible!"

Everyone immediately began to act. Uchiha Jin, holding the allocated storage scroll, also began to collect the bodies of the fallen ninja.

Ten minutes later.

Having finished everything, Uchiha Jin looked at the smoke-filled battlefield and couldn't help but sigh.

It was truly tragic!

People who were alive just two hours ago had now lost their lives so easily.

Wait...

He suddenly saw a familiar face, Omura Sawa, who had been shouting at him earlier.

This guy was still alive?

However, seeing his dazed and lost appearance, as if his soul had been taken, he shook his head and couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him. He was clearly another ordinary person who had been scared senseless by the battlefield.

This guy would either retire and become a civilian, or he would die on the upcoming battlefield.

There was no other choice!

And he was quite lucky. He had managed to survive such a dangerous situation.

To be honest...

Uchiha Jin was a little envious of him, because he still had the option to retire.

"Five squads, only two remain."

"Three civilian ninja squads were almost wiped out. The other squad, composed of Inuzuka, Kurama, and Aburame, now has Kurama dead, Inuzuka seriously injured, and the remaining Aburame has also suffered several minor injuries."

"It seems that only we have truly maintained our full strength."

Uchiha Jin spoke with a melancholic tone.

Kakashi and Nara Shikaichi also grew heavy-hearted.

This is the battlefield!

One moment, comrades were laughing and chatting; the next, they were cold corpses.

"Jin, I have a bad feeling about this!"

As Uchiha Jin was musing, Nara Shikaichi walked over. "It's too coincidental that the Sunagakure shinobi showed up now. These aren't the enemies we should have encountered."

Uchiha Jin paused. "Why?"

Nara Shikaichi spoke softly.

"We're just the lowest rank, a transport team composed entirely of genin, and we're carrying the most worthless items: Ration Pills, kunai, shuriken, not even explosive tags."

"Sunagakure, composed entirely of elite chūnin, shouldn't be targeting a team like ours."

"The cost-effectiveness is too low!"

Uchiha Jin blinked, then his eyes grew somber, his heart sinking to the bottom.

As a transmigrator, the first word that came to his mind was:

Danzo!

If you can't find anyone else to blame for any bad thing, it's probably Danzo causing trouble, especially since their squad had just pocketed a sum of money from Root.

And he was an Uchiha, on top of that!

However, he didn't say much, only murmuring, "Be careful and cautious from now on. I'll figure out the rest."

"This... alright." Nara Shikaichi sighed emotionally.

Honestly, he didn't believe it!

As an Uchiha, enemies were everywhere he looked.

Especially now, on the battlefield between Konohagakure and Sunagakure, all the Uchiha were confined within Konohagakure, with not a single one on the entire battlefield. Where could Uchiha Jin find help?

But, there was no other way!

He was just an ordinary Nara Clan Member with limited ninja abilities and no attention within the clan, except for his sharp mind. Otherwise, why would he be assigned to such a regular ninja squad?

You have to know that Nara Clan Members with connections, even if they couldn't form an Ino-Shika-Cho that year, would become part of the Clan Private Army as reserves. At the very least, they could help out in Clan Business.

So, sigh!

With a sigh of helplessness, he felt lost about the future.

Two hours later.

The group finally arrived at the front-line camp, and Uchiha Jin's squad was assigned their own tent.

"First, you are not allowed to wander around the camp at will."

"You don't need to worry too much; the camp is absolutely safe. You killed six chūnin this time, and a C-Rank Mission will at least be upgraded to B-Rank."

Takada Fujiwara smiled, clearly in a very good mood.

His squad's abilities were online. Facing a large group of elite chūnin, the team not only didn't collapse but managed to kill six chūnin with genin strength...

More importantly, they were all on the same side!

Teammates you could truly trust with your back, and even if they did something out of line, you wouldn't have to worry about betrayal.
