Three Gloomy Guys

Most people dislike those who are similar to themselves, and Uchiha Kei, Hyuga Aya, and Imai Kenta were no exception.

They didn't talk much on the way. Uchiha Kei even felt like the other two probably wanted to tear him apart.

However, Uchiha Kei wasn't scared easily. If those two really dared to make a move, Uchiha Kei might even be happy.

That would save so much trouble. He might not be good at other things, but when it came to running away, Uchiha Kei had some experience.

Uchiha Kei's other abilities might be average, but there was one jutsu he had mastered very well: the Body Flicker Technique.

If a real fight broke out, Uchiha Kei could activate his Sharingan, use the Body Flicker Technique to take out one of them, and then turn and run.

Then, who cared about this damn mission? He could even declare them traitors to the village.

If he let the Yamanaka Clan members check what happened, Uchiha Kei was sure he could get away with it.

But unfortunately, those two seemed to understand this too, and they had no such intentions at all.

As the three continued forward, Imai Kenta suddenly stopped and made a "situation" gesture.

Imai Kenta had good perception. As a Taijutsu Ninja, especially one skilled in Swordsmanship, his senses were indeed sharp.

Hyuga Aya immediately activated her Byakugan and began to observe. The veins around her eyes bulged, looking less hazy and more ferocious than in the manga.

"Six." Hyuga Aya mouthed the word to Kei and the others.

Six. That meant at least two squads, or more. In wartime, it was very common for squads to not be at full strength for various reasons.

But this was a good thing. At least they wouldn't have to face two full squads. The only unknown now was whether there was a Jonin among them.

Uchiha Kei, Hyuga Aya, and Imai Kenta were not Jonin. They weren't like Kakashi, who became a Jonin at twelve.

Of course, they weren't the "strongest combat power" Genin either, but just three Chunin.

Uchiha Kei pondered for a moment. Six people weren't bad opponents. At least their Forehead Protectors would be good spoils of war for Kei and the others.

With that thought, Uchiha Kei signaled to the two beside him, and then the three of them flashed and disappeared from the treetops, each ambushing in their own spot.

Uchiha Kei hid in a patch of bushes. At the same time, he activated his Sharingan. Three Black Tomoe slowly spun in his Crimson Eyes.

Hyuga Aya and Imai Kenta didn't have time to worry about others. This allowed Uchiha Kei to use his abilities without restraint. Soon, several Chakra Flowing Figures appeared in Kei's vision.

Because it was a sudden encounter, they didn't have time to set any Traps. Otherwise, they might have had an easier time.

Taking a deep breath, Kei had observed the current situation quite thoroughly.

There was only one Jonin on the enemy side. This was good news. However, they also had two Chunin and three Genin, which was not a force to be ignored.

The world of Naruto was strange. Even someone as powerful as Uchiha Madara could still be ambushed and killed.

Look at Black Zetsu, who was talking heart-to-heart with Uchiha Madara, and Naruto, who had Kaguya completely smitten with the Sexy Jutsu.

Taking a deep breath, Uchiha Kei pulled out a kunai, but he didn't dare to act rashly.

Who knew if his two teammates would turn tail and run the moment he made a move? What was most amusing was that his two teammates also seemed to be wary of him.

They also stayed still in place, watching as the six Iwa ninja walked past them.

"Damn it."

Uchiha Kei cursed under his breath. Without Fukuhisa Kouhei, the guiding jonin, around, the few of them had truly pushed their distrust to the extreme.

"Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!"

Thinking this, Uchiha Kei didn't hold back. He immediately formed hand seals and unleashed a ninjutsu towards the six Iwa ninja. Coincidentally, this ninjutsu's area of effect covered the spot where Imai Kenta was hiding!

After doing all this, Uchiha Kei immediately used a Shadow Clone, and then the main body used a Substitution Technique, standing steadily on the treetop to observe everything below and make a decision.

Imai Kenta really couldn't hold back anymore. He mentally cursed Uchiha Kei with the most vicious language, and this guy immediately jumped out.

Drawing his sword, slashing, and then turning to dodge, his movements were fluid. One of the slower Iwa ninja was directly killed by him.

The most crucial point was that Uchiha Kei, who was observing from the side, discovered that this guy wasn't exactly a decent person either.

The place where he turned and dodged happened to be the direction where Hyuga Aya was hiding. Although the Iwa ninja were flustered by the sneak attack, they quickly calmed down.

With a volley of kunai being shot out, coupled with Imai Kenta turning and running, Hyuga Aya could no longer hide. She could only grit her teeth and jump out fiercely.

"Two brats?" The Iwa Jonin sneered upon seeing this. "Quite bold. Take them down!"

In fact, there was no need for the Iwa Jonin to give the order. The other Iwa Chunin and Genin had already drawn their weapons and charged towards the two of them.

The Iwa Jonin also didn't let his guard down. A squad of four, and now only two had appeared. Considering the loss of his team, this meant at least one more person was still unaccounted for.

He couldn't make a move rashly now. He had to at least wait until he captured the last person.

Just then, he suddenly felt an extremely ominous sense of danger. The cold feeling made his hair stand on end!

Fast, unbelievably fast!

The sensation told him that his clothes had been torn, and his back had even been cut by a kunai!

In a flash, the Iwa Jonin immediately formed hand seals and activated the Substitution Technique.

In the most dangerous moments, the simplest ninjutsu is often the most effective. As a Jonin, he couldn't possibly not know this!

During the Substitution Technique, the Jonin glanced at his previous position. A youth stood there, a youth with crimson eyes!

Sharingan!

The Uchiha Clan? This Jonin wasn't an idiot. He immediately judged who he was facing.

But what made him despair was that when facing an Uchiha, even an imp, it was best not to fight them alone. Two people were the best choice.

Now, everyone else was locked in their own battles. He was indeed a Jonin, but just a few days ago, he had only been a Special Jonin!

Suddenly, the Iwa Ninja Jonin's eyes widened again, because that Uchiha imp with Crimson Eyes had disappeared once more. This time, he felt a cool sensation on his neck.

"So fast."
