This Uchiha is Very Senju

As the group marched, the thousand-man unit led by Tsunade consisted mostly of members from her Senju clan. The fact that Uchiha Kō, an Uchiha, was trailing behind Lady Tsunade left the Senju clansmen feeling rather displeased.

Upon reaching the border:

"Lady Tsunade, leave the reconnaissance to me," a young man from the Senju clan stepped forward and bowed to Tsunade.

Tsunade looked at this man, Long Yi—originally named Senju Long Yi. He was a skilled Jonin with a talent for scouting, and his words piqued her interest.

Uchiha Kō had originally intended to remain silent, but seeing the look of disdain Long Yi shot his way, he felt compelled to speak up.

"Lady Tsunade, This Humble One can conduct reconnaissance without injury, without losing a single soldier!" Uchiha Kō said calmly. He felt he needed to show his worth; otherwise, there was no telling what these Senju clansmen might say about him.

He didn't care about himself, but he could not allow Lady Tsunade's reputation to be tarnished.

Tsunade turned to look at Uchiha Kō. She was curious: why would Uchiha Kō make such a claim? Injury-free reconnaissance was something even veteran scouts could not achieve.

Long Yi scoffed first, "Little brat of the Uchiha clan, it's not that I don't trust you, but have you ever been on a battlefield? Do you even know what reconnaissance is?"

"A scout is captured the moment they let their guard down, and life after capture is worse than death. To claim you can scout without injury is nothing but a ruse to fool everyone!" Long Yi said coldly.

He hadn't expected this Uchiha brat to be such a braggart. He truly didn't know what Lady Mito saw in him.

Uchiha Kō shook his head. He covered his left eye with his left hand and opened his right hand. Quicksand gathered from his palm, eventually forming an eyeball.

Only then did Uchiha Kō speak: "Magnet Release: True Sight Eye." As he spoke, the eyeball floated slowly from his hand and circled around Long Yi.

Long Yi was stunned. What kind of ninjutsu was this? Wait, Magnet Release! The members of the Senju clan all looked at Uchiha Kō. A Kekkei Genkai! Magnet Release, a Kekkei Genkai of the same caliber as Lord Hashirama's Wood Release.

The gazes of the crowd shifted instantly, becoming much softer. Regardless of whether Uchiha Kō's Magnet Release was currently strong, for Lady Tsunade to have a confidant with a dual Kekkei Genkai was a great asset to her.

"Cough, cough. Kō-kun, please tell me, what is the use of this True Sight Eye?" Tsunade had long known about Uchiha Kō's dual Kekkei Genkai, so she was not overly surprised.

She wanted to know the function of this Magnet Release technique. Uchiha Kō naturally did not hold back. He smiled and said, "This technique is called the True Sight Eye, or it can also be called the Detection Eye."

With that, Uchiha Kō spread his left hand. Everyone saw that the eyeball in his left eye socket had vanished, and they couldn't help but gasp.

"The True Sight Eye shares what it sees with my left eye. Even if the True Sight Eye is discovered and destroyed by the enemy, it will not cause me any major harm; I will simply be unable to use it for a period of time," Uchiha Kō smiled slightly.

"And the range?" Tsunade asked, chin in hand, deep in thought. Uchiha Kō looked back at Tsunade's serious expression and replied earnestly, "A radius of ten kilometers."

Tsunade's mouth fell open, and even Long Yi's eyes widened. Ten kilometers—while it didn't sound like much, for a ninja, if they could detect things within ten kilometers and report them in real-time, it would make their army invincible!

Senju Long Yi gasped, took a deep look at Uchiha Kō, and then bowed, "I am sorry, Lord Kō. I apologize for my ignorance. Please forgive me!"

Well, it had to be said: although the Senju clan was proud, they were the type to apologize directly when they realized they were wrong. They could correct their mistakes. As for the Uchiha clan? They would likely just eliminate anyone who displeased them.

Uchiha Kō quickly helped Long Yi up, "Brother Long Yi was only considering the safety of our unit. Besides, one cannot be blamed for what one does not know. On the battlefield later, I might even have to rely on Brother Long Yi to protect me!"

Uchiha Kō lacked the arrogance of the Uchiha clan entirely; in fact, his personality was more like that of a Senju. Through this incident, the Senju troops generally developed a favorable impression of this Uchiha brat.

"Lady Tsunade, could someone carry me later? It is difficult for me to walk while I am observing," Uchiha Kō scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

Long Yi, who had just spoken, laughed loudly, "Lady Tsunade, leave this to me. After all, Brother Kō is doing this for the safety of our entire unit."

With that, he hoisted Uchiha Kō onto his back and began to move steadily. Seeing this, the corners of Tsunade's mouth curled upward. As expected, Kō-kun was a man of ability!

"Very well, Long Yi, I leave it to you. Kō-kun, if you discover anything, report it immediately!" Tsunade smiled.

"No problem!" both Uchiha Kō and Long Yi replied in unison.

They crossed the border and entered the battlefield. How to describe the Land of Rain? It rained incessantly day and night. The further they went, the heavier the rain became, unlike the Land of Fire with its warm sunshine and pleasant scenery.

After walking for about an hour, Uchiha Kō suddenly said, "Stop!"

Instantly, all the ninjas halted, drawing kunai and shuriken into a combat stance. They stared ahead, their faces resolute.

Tsunade did the same. She didn't look back, but instead looked at Uchiha Kō, "Kō, what is the situation?"

Uchiha Kō said coldly, "Ten kilometers ahead, there are two hundred elite Amegakure ninjas—twenty Jonin, fifty Chunin, and over a hundred Genin—advancing toward us."

Long Yi sneered, "It's just a small unit, what do we have to fear!"

Tsunade nodded as well, but at this moment, Uchiha Kō spoke up, "Lady Tsunade, I suggest we move to the left and avoid them for now. They are carrying poison gas canisters. I suspect it is the signature poison of Salamander Hanzō, and they are all wearing gas masks!"

Tsunade's expression changed, "Everyone, move to the left! Withdraw quickly, keep your movements light, and ensure you cover your tracks!" Within just ten minutes, Tsunade and her team had climbed the mountain to the left, looking back toward the direction they had come from.

They saw the Amegakure ninjas reach the spot where Tsunade had been standing. They looked puzzled—wasn't there supposed to be a unit coming? Why wasn't there a single person here?

Seeing the poison gas canisters in their hands, Tsunade couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She might not fear it, but her subordinates might not be so lucky!

"Kō, why didn't we go to the right? Wouldn't the view be clearer there? Now that we've climbed the mountain, how are we supposed to get down?" Tsunade frowned slightly.

Uchiha Kō smiled, "Because on the right, there is a fat oriole waiting!"

As soon as he finished speaking, they observed from the mountain that a force of ninjas had suddenly appeared where they had been standing earlier.

"Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique!"

"Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld!"

"Earth Release: Earth Mausoleum Dumpling!"

In an instant, a group of Iwagakure ninjas appeared and ambushed the Amegakure ninjas. A flurry of Earth Release ninjutsu erupted, instantly wiping out half of the Amegakure force. It had to be said, that fellow Ōnoki really knew how to train his soldiers!
