Sasuke Still Pities His Uncle

Uchiha Fucheng was satisfied with his luck.

A 5-point reward, and it was for innate bloodline ability.

Uchiha Itachi was, after all, the most gifted individual in the clan!

His bloodline talent would naturally allow Fucheng's Sharingan to improve once again.

Obtained [Minor Uchiha bloodline talent enhancement, Sharingan ocular power increase].

This minor enhancement was similar to the previous reward from Nawaki.

It increased his three-tomoe Sharingan's total ocular power by approximately one-half.

Because the Sharingan was the core of the Uchiha clan's kekkei genkai.

During the process of his eyes improving, Fucheng's total chakra reserves also saw an increase.

His total chakra grew by about one-fourth.

Fucheng's current chakra levels already surpassed those of an average elite jōnin from the Uchiha clan.

The rewards from Nawaki and Uchiha Itachi were both excellent 5-point rolls.

They allowed Fucheng to strengthen his bloodline talent; such direct self-enhancement was particularly precious in a world of "glass cannon" ninjas like Naruto.

It had to be said, although the Fate Dice had been used several times, it still felt eerie every time he looked at it.

The gray-white, wrinkled skin texture formed the cubic structure of the Fate Dice.

On each face of the die, a different number of Sharingan eyes were looking around.

From one to six.

Every Sharingan looked as if it were alive.

When in use, the eyeballs would move and blink until the final number was rolled, at which point the Sharingan would close one by one.

The final Fate Dice roll was the reward obtained from Uchiha Sasuke.

Perhaps because Fucheng had "poached" Uchiha Fugaku's wife, forcing those two poor brothers to go find other wombs to be born into.

Thus, Uchiha Sasuke's reward was also quite special.

The Fate Dice rolled a 2.

He had initially thought this draw was a "critical failure."

Yet, "Second Pillar" gave his "Uncle Fucheng" a massive surprise!

A 2-point roll meant a reward of physical items.

The reward obtained this time was [Uchiha Sasuke's Summoning/Ninja Beast Contracts].

Ninja Cats: Matatabi, Hinai, Denka, and others.

Ninja Crows: The flock of ninja crows left behind by Shisui and Itachi.

Ninja Hawk: The giant ninja hawk, Garuda.

Ryūchi Cave: Aoda and other members of Ryūchi Cave.

Seeing that he had suddenly acquired four different summoning/ninja beast contracts, Uchiha Fucheng could barely hold back his laughter.

Sasuke really cares about his uncle!

Fucheng thought happily, Knowing his uncle didn't have any summoning beasts, he just went ahead and gathered everything that flies in the sky and runs on the ground.

However, now was not the right time to test these summoning beasts.

On the main battlefield between Konoha and the Sand, fighting continued to erupt one after another.

Because of the Konoha White Fang's previous frenzied slaughter, the Sand ninjas had become irritable and deranged.

Several special poisons developed by Chiyo were being used on a large scale under these circumstances.

Their current position was still too close to the battlefield, far from being safe.

Therefore, Uchiha Fucheng also held back and did not dare to use the unique reward marked with the lightning symbol on Mikoto.

He worried that using this reward might cause extreme physical changes in Mikoto, or even trigger unexpected disturbances.

After all, the lightning symbol in this reward easily brought to mind another girl with tea-colored hair and tea-colored eyes: Misaka Mikoto.

The so-called Level 5 Electromaster, the super-scientific Railgun.

Taking Mikoto and the others with him, Fucheng attempted to head toward the assembly point pre-arranged by Uchiha Yashiro and his group.

As long as they found the main force, or more members of the Uchiha clan, they would be much safer on the battlefield.

Fucheng had a clear understanding of his current strength.

He could barely be considered an elite jōnin.

With the support of his Sharingan, he could, at times, briefly contend with about two elite jōnin from the Land of Wind.

As for Mikoto by his side, she was slightly stronger than the average Sunagakure chunin. Her Lightning Release ninjutsu was decent, and she knew a few low-power Fire Release techniques.

However, Mikoto's overall combat strength was still a long way from reaching the jonin level.

As for Uchiha Hezi, who had just evolved her Sharingan to two tomoe, she could barely hold her own against a rookie chunin.

This was because Hezi did not know many ninjutsu.

She could only manage to save her own life in a chunin-level confrontation; she was essentially at the bottom tier of the chunin rank.

The remaining member, Hatake Jiangyi, was at the level of a completely average civilian ninja.

Hatake Jiangyi knew the Three Body Technique, was skilled in kunai throwing, and understood a bit of the Hatake clan's samurai-style close-quarters swordsmanship.

He could be considered a textbook template for a civilian ninja.

Looking at Hatake Jiangyi's rather handsome appearance and that flowing white hair, Fucheng could guess a thing or two.

This Hatake Jiangyi was very likely related to the "Copy Ninja" Kakashi.

He was likely one of the few active-duty ninjas within the Hatake clan, a group not exactly known for its large population.

In the rapidly advancing squad, Uchiha Fucheng ran at the very front.

Hezi and Hatake Jiangyi followed closely behind, while Mikoto, as a chunin, brought up the rear.

Uchiha Fucheng had not brought along any of the supplies that had been blown to pieces earlier.

He had abandoned them all at the site of the explosion.

Even though the four of them had departed as cautiously and stealthily as possible, they were still discovered by a group of Sunagakure ninjas drawn by the explosion.

Before the main Konoha reinforcements could arrive, the Sunagakure forces still held the numerical advantage on this battlefield.

"Lord Fucheng, there are Sunagakure ninjas tracking us." Uchiha Hezi, positioned on the right side of the formation, was the first to speak up.

Fucheng had naturally seen them behind him as well.

About two thousand meters away, a squad of Land of Wind ninjas was tailing them.

The vegetation here was sparse, and there were not many hills or mountains to hide their figures; the flat, open terrain left Uchiha Fucheng with few good options for concealment.

"Accelerate toward the east first. Their puppet masters move slowly, so we'll kite the enemy for a bit."

Fucheng commanded, "If the puppet masters and the regular ninjas split up during the pursuit, wait for my signal to counterattack.

Try your best to lead the Sunagakure ninjas further away.

There are still many Uchiha clansmen on the battlefield; joining up with them will make it easier to wipe out these Sunagakure ninjas.

Remember my words: we are not here to kill the enemy. Our goal is to win this battle with as little damage and as few casualties as possible."

When Uchiha Fucheng saw that the enemy only had eight people, he had initially wanted to turn around and fight back.

But as a "deeply cautious" reincarnator, Uchiha Fucheng's vigilance would not allow him to engage in reckless combat.

When outnumbered in a team fight, caution is paramount.

Caution is the golden rule for survival on the battlefield.

A distance of two kilometers was far too close for ninjas.

As Fucheng and the others increased their speed, the eight Sunagakure ninjas behind them accelerated as well.

Due to their differing speeds, the group gradually split into two parts: three in the front and five in the back.

"Keep increasing speed, don't worry about stamina." Uchiha Fucheng covered his mouth, ordering Mikoto, Hezi, and Jiangyi in a very low voice.

In the ninja world, too many people could read lips.

Uchiha Fucheng grumbled inwardly, No wonder people like Kakashi always like to cover their faces. With chakra-enhanced perception, every ninja is basically a 'sneaky rat' with a 4x scope; you have to be careful even when you speak.

Fucheng mocked them in his heart, These Sunagakure ninjas are truly thick-headed. I'm waiting for my cooldowns and waiting for teammates to support me. What are you Sunagakure ninjas waiting for? Are you waiting to die?!
