Clearing the Area

With the extreme dynamic vision of the Sharingan, Uchiha Kei skillfully dodged the last Iwa Ninja's desperate attack, and then Uchiha Kei ended the guy's life.

Sighing, looking at the eight motionless figures lying on the ground, Uchiha Kei felt a slight ripple in his heart.

Especially the smell of blood spreading in this area made Uchiha Kei feel disgusted, but Uchiha Kei had no sympathy for these Iwa Ninja.

Being in the center of a war meant either you die or I die. Uchiha Kei had long since accepted it. Although he wasn't a psychopath who would take pleasure in it, he definitely didn't dislike this feeling either.

"Life is too fragile. You've all found release, haven't you?" Uchiha Kei muttered to himself, then sighed and took out another Ration Pill.

This was already the third Ration Pill he had taken within twenty-four hours. Although Uchiha Kei was unwilling, he had no other choice.

Fortunately, this Ration Pill had side effects, but its side effects were as small as its effects. It was better than nothing, and Uchiha Kei was definitely not in a position to be picky right now.

Sheathing his Ninja Sword, Uchiha Kei didn't look at the dead Iwa Ninja any longer and turned to run towards Imai Kenta's location.

Namikaze Minato's battle should also be ending soon. He might even be helping Uchiha Kei and the others clear out these ordinary Iwa Ninja.

As for Imai Kenta's situation, it was somewhat uncertain. Although Uchiha Kei didn't care about Imai Kenta's life or death, having one more person at this time could be considered one more source of strength.

Especially since Imai Kenta's recovery ability was very strong, and his condition was the best of the two of them. Uchiha Kei felt he really needed this guy's strength.

Running about five hundred meters to his left, Uchiha Kei began to notice corpses on the ground. After a brief inspection, Uchiha Kei found that these corpses had one thing in common.

They were very similar to the Iwa Ninja he had dealt with; they all had fatal knife wounds.

However, unlike Uchiha Kei, who killed almost every Iwa Ninja with a single blow, the situation of these corpses was different.

Some were killed with a single blow, indicating a Sneak Attack, while others had engaged in a fight before receiving the fatal wound.

Following these corpses, Uchiha Kei tracked them all the way. Coincidentally, he suddenly saw Imai Kenta emerge from behind a large tree and charge straight at a few Iwa Ninja not far away.

His speed was like a streak of light. In an instant, he was in front of the Iwa Ninja, unleashing a lightning-fast strike that gave the Iwa Ninja no room to react.

Before the Iwa Ninja could even draw his Kunai, he had already bid farewell to this world.

"Be careful!" Only then did the other Iwa Ninja's warning cry ring out.

Unfortunately, Imai Kenta didn't stop after his first strike. His Ninja Sword swung out again, instantly killing the Iwa Ninja who had shouted the warning.

Having taken down two Iwa Ninja at once immediately alerted the remaining ones. They quickly took out their weapons and began to defend against Imai Kenta, while Imai Kenta also temporarily stopped his advance at this moment.

Uchiha Kei watched this scene. It was clear that a Sneak Attack was no longer possible. The next stage would be Imai Kenta's prolonged battle with these two Iwa Ninja.

"You're lucky. I never thought I'd get addicted to saving people after taking on this mission."

Uchiha Kei mocked himself. Ever since entering the battlefield, Uchiha Kei had been an extremely selfish individual. The fact that he hadn't killed his teammates was already a great act of kindness.

Of course, Uchiha Kei had indeed made a teammate block a Ninjutsu for him before. That time, when death was almost certain, Uchiha Kei had no choice.

As for the rescue, Uchiha Kei only did it now because he was forced by this damned mission.

He probably wouldn't believe that Uchiha Kei, who had rescued so many prisoners behind enemy lines, was actually this kind of guy, would he?

Thinking of this, Uchiha Kei directly threw two kunai. The Iwa Ninja, who were facing Imai Kenta as if facing a great enemy, were like birds startled by a bow. Without even looking, they threw four kunai towards his kunai.

Imai Kenta's sneak attack earlier had clearly left a shadow on them. With another guy suddenly appearing, they could only react hastily like this, clearly afraid that Imai Kenta would sneak attack them again when their attention was not focused.

However, what they never expected was that the person they were facing was even better at sneak attacks than Imai Kenta!

Taking advantage of the moment the Iwa Ninja threw their kunai, Uchiha Kei suddenly burst forward. Even without using the Body Flicker Technique, his speed was definitely not slow!

By the time Uchiha Kei's kunai collided with the Iwa Ninja's kunai in mid-air, Uchiha Kei had already arrived at the Iwa Ninja's side.

This Iwa Ninja was not stupid either. Almost instinctively, he swung the kunai in his hand. However, facing the Sharingan, his speed was not only slow, but the trajectory of his attack was also clearly seen by Uchiha Kei!

"Ah!"

A scream pierced through the air, the sound somewhat distorted. This Iwa Ninja was killed by Uchiha Kei with one strike!

This terrifying scene deeply stimulated the last Iwa Ninja. Although it was slight, Uchiha Kei clearly saw that the hand holding the kunai had already begun to tremble.

Uchiha Kei shook his head silently. He didn't need to see the fate of this Iwa Ninja any further, because Imai Kenta had also arrived behind this guy when Uchiha Kei launched his attack.

"Thank you for the rescue, Captain." Imai Kenta flicked the blood off his blade, his harmless smile looking exceptionally sincere.

But his current appearance in this place, filled with the thick smell of blood, like an Asura's field, looked truly bizarre.

"Of course, I had to rescue you. Otherwise, who would block Ninjutsu for me?" Uchiha Kei also sheathed his blade. "Are they all cleaned up?"

"Basically." Imai Kenta didn't pay attention to what Uchiha Kei said, maintaining his sincere smile. "Except I'm not sure how many Captain Namikaze helped us deal with, but I think it should be about the same."

It was clear that this guy had also noticed the commotion Namikaze Minato had caused earlier. He had probably dealt with his enemies.

And since he had dealt with his enemies but hadn't appeared yet, there was only one explanation – he had taken the opportunity to deal with some of the Iwa Ninja that Uchiha Kei and the others didn't have time to handle.

It was even possible that Namikaze Minato, relying on his excellent speed and the Flying Thunder God Technique, had gone ahead to scout the situation.

Uchiha Kei nodded, then suddenly turned his head to look behind him. At some unknown time, Namikaze Minato had already appeared there like a ghost!

The Flying Thunder God Technique truly lived up to its reputation as one of the most terrifying and bizarre Ninjutsu in the Naruto world. This Ninjutsu was incredibly effective for assassination and sneak attacks!

"Kei-kun, I've found the target," Namikaze Minato said without any preamble. "But it might be a bit troublesome."
