"Who are you people?"

As Suikazan Fuguki and the others landed one by one on the trees and boulders, their gazes involuntarily fell upon Uchiha Sou and his group.

Or more accurately, they were fixed on Uchiha Sou!

Although to their eyes, this Uchiha Sou looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, the aura he exuded could not be faked.

They had all experienced countless battles and faced innumerable powerhouses, so they could naturally perceive this clearly.

Just as a shark can easily catch the scent of blood, they could easily detect that Uchiha Sou was different.

Yet, they felt a slight sense of relief in their hearts; after all, they had been worried that they might run into Orochimaru this time!

The mystery and terror of Orochimaru were beyond doubt, and seeing that the enemy was not him, they felt a bit more at ease.

Even so, they did not show any signs of carelessness.

A ninja must never ignore the danger of an enemy just because they look young.

"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Uchiha Sou."

Uchiha Sou glanced at the five of them and recognized exactly who they were, but he still spoke calmly.

"The commander-in-chief of the Konoha behind-enemy-lines armed forces. I believe I am the person you are all looking for."

"Oh?" Uchiha Sou's words made all five of them raise their eyebrows involuntarily.

Although they had guessed as much, Uchiha Sou's personal admission left them somewhat stunned, especially given how young he was.

Strategic ability and martial prowess were not the same thing; one might possess great power at a young age due to a bloodline limit, but strategic ability truly required innate talent, as well as constant cultivation and guidance to manifest.

They found it hard to believe that the person who had pushed the rear of Kirigakure to such an extent was actually a brat!

"Uchiha Sou, are you sure you know what you're saying?" Munashi Jinpachi's gaze turned dangerous. "Would Konoha really let a brat like you serve as the commander-in-chief behind enemy lines?"

"Whether it's true or not, the important thing is that I am here." Uchiha Sou smiled slightly, seemingly unbothered by the man's words.

At this moment, Genma, Shisui, and Might Guy had already arrived behind Uchiha Sou, each of them watching the five men ahead with vigilance.

"Indeed, whether it's true or not doesn't matter. What matters is that you must die today!"

Suikazan Fuguki gripped the ninja sword on his back, his chakra surging slightly as his expression turned cruel.

"At the very least, being able to take out so many of our men proves your capabilities."

"Indeed, while I can't be sure if you are our target, you are at least valuable."

Munashi Jinpachi also unslung the ninja sword from his back; the explosive tags covering the entire blade looked particularly gruesome.

Not just him, but the other three also slowly drew their respective ninja swords, having already prepared for battle!

A terrifying aura spread from their bodies, and a killing intent that felt almost tangible locked onto Uchiha Sou and his group.

Locked in by such killing intent, Genma and Might Guy felt, for a split second, as if they were standing in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

This made their breathing heavy, and their bodies could not help but tremble slightly.

In contrast, Might Duy was doing much better; his eyes seemed to shine with a sharp light, and he appeared somewhat excited.

Uchiha Sou and Uchiha Shisui were the calmest of all, though the Three Tomoe in their scarlet eyes were spinning constantly.

"Not bad. I think Samehada will really like the chakra of you and that other Uchiha brat."

Suikazan Fuguki grinned, his rows of sharp teeth looking particularly sinister.

"I just don't know if you can withstand the power of the Kabutowari."

Jinin Akebino's gaze also became incredibly dangerous; not only him, but the others had also adjusted their aura to its peak.

Under the suppression of such momentum, Uchiha Sou and his group looked like duckweed, appearing as if they could be crushed at any moment!

"Aren't you being a bit too confident?"

Suddenly, Uchiha Sou spoke softly, and as he did, he closed his eyes slightly.

In an instant, a cold, destructive chakra emanated from Uchiha Sou's body!

While this aura made Genma and Might Guy feel even more uncomfortable, it alleviated the pressure created by Suikazan Fuguki and the others.

This aura also caused Suikazan Fuguki and his companions to furrow their brows even deeper, for they now felt an indescribable threat lingering in their hearts.

The next moment, Uchiha Sou slowly opened his eyes, and the Three Tomoe within them had quietly merged together.

A pair of strange, triangular patterns resembling maple leaves appeared in his eyes. Accompanied by the cold aura overflowing from him and the corpses littering the ground at his feet, Uchiha Sou looked like an Asura!

"This brat, these eyes..."

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist grew solemn, the sense of danger deepening.

However, being ninjas who had reached this level, they had their own pride, and such danger only stimulated them, making them even more bloodthirsty!

Besides, didn't the greater the danger, the more it proved the value of this brat?

"An interesting brat, but..."

Munashi Jinpachi, with his only visible eye fixed on Uchiha Sou, revealed a cruel smile.

In the next instant, his entire figure vanished from where he stood.

Not only him, but the other four also erupted with terrifying speed, charging directly toward Uchiha Sou and his companions!

However, they did not all swarm Uchiha Sou at once; instead, they carried out their actions with a clear division of labor.

Three of them headed toward Uchiha Sou, one went after Uchiha Shisui, and the last one went straight for Genma, Might Guy, and Might Duy.

The blades hummed as they sliced through the air, while Uchiha Sou stood his ground, watching it all unfold in silence.

He trusted in the abilities of Shisui and Might Duy, so he only needed to focus his attention on himself.

Hum!

In a mere split second, three ninja swords of varying designs swept toward him in unison.

The terrifying edges tore through the air and finally plunged into Uchiha Sou's body!

Yet, at that very moment, the expressions of the attackers shifted.

Because they clearly saw their blades distorting strangely at the point of contact with Uchiha Sou.

Under such distortion, their swords failed to strike Uchiha Sou in the slightest, instead either slashing through empty air or slamming into the ground!

"You have no idea."

The Mangekyo in Uchiha Sou's right eye rotated slowly, and in an instant, the kunai in his hand swung out fiercely!

"What kind of eyes you are truly facing!"
