Skilled Sneak Attack Techniques

With a Body Flicker Technique, he instantly appeared behind an Iwa Ninja. Taking advantage of the perfect opportunity before the opponent could react, Uchiha Kei's Ninja Sword pierced the enemy's heart from behind.

Uchiha Kei didn't stop. After dealing with this Iwa Ninja, he once again created distance and attacked the other Iwa Ninja in the squad.

Thirty seconds later, deep within the woods, the remaining three Iwa Ninja of the opposing side were also sent by Uchiha Kei to reunite with their captain.

As Namikaze Minato had said, these Iwa Ninja's Chakra strength was indeed very ordinary. Without any special bloodline limits, their combat strength was just so-so.

Uchiha Kei took a deep breath. He had already dealt with at least four such squads along the way. Under the power of his Sharingan and his exquisite Body Flicker Technique, these Iwa Ninja truly had no ability to resist.

As for Imai Kenta and Namikaze Minato, Uchiha Kei wasn't very clear about their situation. Since they were fighting separately, he had no idea how the other was faring.

However, Uchiha Kei roughly knew their direction, which made him not worry about getting lost.

"But the number of Iwa Ninja here seems to be really quite large, and why are these guys all at the rear of the Iwa Ninja?"

Uchiha Kei didn't even look at the Iwa Ninja lying on the ground with their eyes still open as he continued to search for his next target while thinking.

The quality of these Iwa Ninja indeed made Uchiha Kei feel very ordinary. Most of them were Chunin, and some even looked like Genin.

But soon, Uchiha Kei seemed to understand why. That is, the Iwa Ninja remaining in the Land of Grass were probably at their limit!

The Land of Earth had foolishly killed the Third Raikage, resulting in a frenzied counterattack from the Kumogakure.

Those Kumogakure ninja were now biting at the Iwa Ninja like mad dogs, and the Iwa Ninja had likely long since shifted their strategic focus from 'offense' to 'defense'.

To defend their own territory, they had to use elites. And the Iwa Ninja had underestimated the resilience of Konoha. Although they had dispatched a thousand-strong ninja army to fight, and continued to send reinforcements afterward.

It was just that the personnel they sent were really not enough to make a difference. Perhaps they could still deter Konoha on the Frontal Battlefield, but once someone launched a Surprise Attack behind enemy lines, they were truly insufficient.

Coupled with Uchiha Kei's previous actions, it was highly likely that he had already drawn out most of the high-skilled defending forces. If that were the case...

Understanding this, Uchiha Kei felt a bit happy. If the majority of the enemies they were facing now were of this caliber, then it truly wouldn't be a matter of life and death!

Indeed, following Namikaze Minato was the right decision. Although he almost got himself killed by Kitsuchi because of this mission.

But at least he avoided becoming cannon fodder, and instead let others become his cannon fodder.

Moreover, he could use this mission to build a good relationship with Namikaze Minato, gain his protection behind enemy lines, and finally encounter such a situation.

"But I still need to be careful. The core area defending the bridge will definitely not be guarded by these kinds of guys."

Uchiha Kei dared not be careless. Caution, prudence, and a bit of luck were the keys to surviving on the battlefield.

Silently pushing forward, Uchiha Kei could even see a massive Earth Style Ninjutsu appearing dozens of meters away from him.

It seemed Namikaze Minato had encountered some slightly troublesome enemies this time, but those Earth Style Ninjutsu didn't last even one minute before they crumbled.

However, none of this had much to do with Uchiha Kei. Uchiha Kei's enemies were not those troublesome guys, but these individuals who were numerous but relatively easy to deal with.

Leveraging the complexity of the dense forest terrain, Uchiha Kei quickly locked onto some Iwa Ninja.

This time, the Iwa Ninja were smarter. There were eight of them in total, clearly two squads who noticed something was wrong and had begun to gather.

But that was fine too, saving Uchiha Kei the trouble of finding them one by one. Uchiha Kei felt his current Chakra level; it wasn't optimistic, but he could still fight.

Taijutsu was definitely the least Chakra-consuming combat method. He could use all his Chakra to maintain his Sharingan.

Under the cover of the dense jungle in the Land of Grass, Uchiha Kei quietly approached his targets. Soon, he was less than twenty meters away from these Iwa Ninja, who seemed completely unaware.

This made Uchiha Kei sigh. Either these guys were setting up traps, or they were genuinely inexperienced.

Whichever it was, they were now Uchiha Kei's prey. For Uchiha Kei, who was already very skilled at sneak attacks, he didn't hold back his Chakra this time.

"Fire Style, Great Fireball Technique!"

Like fire-flower seeds that scatter the moment they are touched, the flames spat out from Uchiha Kei's mouth spread in all directions, attacking the Iwa Ninja!

The flames were controlled by Chakra, making it difficult to avoid them all. However, Uchiha Kei didn't waste Chakra controlling these flames.

The instant he finished the Fire Style jutsu, he had already charged forward. His scarlet eyes reflected the shadows of these Iwa Ninja, as if they were already dead.

Suddenly attacked, the Iwa Ninja immediately scattered. Although they had some psychological preparation, the directions they scattered in were extremely dispersed.

Inexperience, poor coordination, and other shortcomings immediately came to Uchiha Kei's mind. Uchiha Kei didn't take these too seriously; while his own squad didn't lack experience, they also had no coordination to speak of!

His ninja sword was drawn, and a streak of light flashed.

One Iwa Ninja had no time to react at all before being directly killed by Uchiha Kei's sword. Even though he was on guard, his defenses were full of holes in Uchiha Kei's eyes!

"Enemy attack!"

The instant kill of one Iwa Ninja immediately caused panic among the others. One Iwa Ninja, after dodging the Great Fireball Technique, immediately shouted. But instead of rescue from his teammates, he was met by Uchiha Kei's ninja sword!

With the help of the Sharingan, Uchiha Kei directly used the Body Flicker Technique to appear behind this Iwa Ninja. The Iwa Ninja immediately felt pressure from behind.

But just as he made the quickest evasive maneuver of his life, Uchiha Kei's ninja sword still pierced his heart with a strange arc!

Sheathing his sword, Uchiha Kei performed a standard evasive action, dodging the attacks of the Iwa Ninja who had now reacted.

However, Uchiha Kei didn't plan to keep dodging. Using several Body Flicker Techniques in quick succession had already made Uchiha Kei feel uncomfortable. There were eight Iwa Ninja, and Uchiha Kei specifically targeted two of the stronger ones.

As for the remaining six, Uchiha Kei didn't plan to use any other power. The Sharingan combined with Taijutsu was enough to deal with them!
