I Am an Uchiha! (Part 1)

"Boom!"

A violent explosion erupted in the forest, and thick smoke began to spread in its wake.

At the center of the blast, a massive crater remained, while Uchiha Sou and his five companions had been scattered in different directions.

Thanks to the warning from Hyuga Tetsu, the six of them were naturally not caught off guard by such an attack.

But the problem was that they all knew clearly this wasn't intended to kill them, but to break their formation!

"How many are there!"

Amidst the dense fog, Uchiha Sou activated his Sharingan, the three tomoe in his scarlet eyes rotating slowly.

At the same time, he shouted aloud; he didn't know exactly where Hyuga Tetsu was, so he could only choose to do this.

"Twelve. Three Anbu are dealing with that Uchiha squad, the rest are coming your way!"

Soon, the voice of Hyuga Tetsu rang out. The sound came from about fifty meters away, and he was able to pinpoint the direction of Hyuga Tetsu!

Without the slightest hesitation, he leaped toward that direction immediately, but just at that moment, he saw someone coming toward him.

This actually made him breathe a slight sigh of relief, because he was now confident!

Uchiha Sou was indeed worried about the Hidden Mist Jutsu; after all, at its strongest state, this technique could even obscure the vision of the Rinnegan!

But the strength of the Hidden Mist Jutsu had a lot to do with the chakra injected into it, so he could still see the movements of others through this thin layer of chakra.

Of course, he could only vaguely see the chakra of others, and his visibility was severely reduced.

"However, for me, this is enough!"

Uchiha Sou's muscles tensed up, and the three tomoe in his eyes spun faster and faster. Yet, at this very moment, a long blade had silently plunged into his body!

"Another Konoha brat."

Uchiha Sou seemed to have not reacted at all, his body frozen in place, and behind him, the figure of a Mist ninja had quietly emerged.

"Are you here for rescue? But you are much worse than those other brats!"

"Those brats? It seems this matter is more interesting than I imagined. Even the Anbu have been dispatched. Can you tell me what they did?"

Just as the Mist ninja finished speaking, a crisp voice suddenly came from behind him, a sound that instantly caused the Mist ninja's expression to change.

'Poof!'

A dull sound rang out, and as the smoke rose, the figure struck by the long blade in the Mist ninja's hand instantly turned into a piece of wood!

"Substitution Technique? When?"

The Mist ninja didn't have time to think; he immediately pulled his long blade out of the wood, wanting to turn around and launch an attack.

However, Uchiha Sou, who was behind him, had already made his move. His eyes scanned left and right, but the kunai in his hand was aimed fiercely at the Mist ninja's neck.

"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!"

But just as he was about to strike, a powerful burst of chakra erupted from his flank. The next moment, a roaring water dragon came whistling toward him.

'Boom!'

A violent collision sound rang out instantly. The Mist ninja had leaped to the side the moment the water dragon arrived, barely dodging the blow.

He lay on the ground in a sorry state, looking back at the water-churning ground. While he felt relieved, he spoke angrily.

"Damn it, are you trying to kill me too?"

"If you weren't so careless, would we need to do this?"

As they spoke, two more Mist ninjas quickly approached. They watched their surroundings with extreme vigilance and then whispered.

"Stop talking nonsense. That brat isn't dead, and he's also an Uchiha!"

"Another Uchiha?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the previous Mist ninja felt a lingering fear, and his face turned ugly.

That brat's speed was truly unbelievable; he hadn't even seen the brat's eyes before he was almost finished off.

Moreover, this brat's use of the Substitution Technique seemed somewhat miraculous.

They really hadn't seen the brat weave any hand signs, nor did they feel any burst of chakra, yet this guy had already completed the technique.

Even if it was just the most basic Substitution Technique, it was enough to make them feel nervous.

"What a pain."

While this group of Hidden Mist ninjas felt incredibly anxious, Uchiha Sou landed steadily on a tree branch. Compared to their anxiety, he appeared quite calm.

He admitted that these three Mist ninjas sticking together was indeed troublesome for him, as he was best at sneak attacks.

And due to the issue of time allocation, he had practiced less taijutsu, so his level was never particularly high.

But possessing the Three Tomoe Sharingan, he truly didn't fear these guys!

"Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!"

Taking a deep breath, Uchiha Sou quickly wove hand signs. In an instant, countless flames headed fiercely toward the location of the three.

The three Mist ninjas reacted extremely quickly, and in an instant, they scattered in all directions.

But at this very moment, Uchiha Sou moved!

He held a kunai in his hand as the chakra within his body erupted slightly, unleashing the unimaginable speed of his A-rank Body Flicker Technique.

In the next second, he had already arrived beside the Mist ninja closest to him!

"Oh no!"

This Mist ninja clearly sensed that something was wrong, and his years of combat experience allowed him to immediately execute an evasive maneuver.

His body retreated rapidly, and at the same time, he tucked his left hand behind his back while the long blade in his right hand slashed fiercely toward Uchiha Sou.

Uchiha Sou's eyes shifted slightly, and his body tilted ever so gently at that exact moment.

Grazing the very edge of that long blade, he dodged the strike in a way that looked incredibly perilous yet was executed with such nonchalance, while the kunai in his hand drove fiercely toward the Mist ninja.

However, at the very instant he was about to land the strike, the kunai in his hand paused slightly; the next moment, he flicked his wrist, and the kunai flew rapidly toward a puddle of water on the low-lying ground!

"Ah!"

In an instant, a scream rang out through the thick fog, and that puddle of water had already turned a deep crimson.

The next moment, that puddle of water transformed into a Mist ninja, while the Mist ninja standing before him completely dispersed into a large pool of water.

"I have to say, I admire your courage."

Uchiha Sou looked at the Mist ninja who had been pinned by the kunai through his left chest, then silently turned to look to the side.

Soon, the figures of those two Mist ninjas appeared vaguely within his line of sight; he reached out to draw another kunai and then said calmly.

"In front of these eyes, you have no secrets to speak of; I had already seen through your little tricks long ago.

Don't forget, I am an Uchiha!"
