I Have a Plan

"What kind of ninjutsu is it?" Hyuga Tenpu asked quickly. He had been watching for a long time and still couldn't figure out any information about this ninjutsu. He only knew that it could achieve the effect of teleportation. He couldn't determine any other activation conditions, limitations, or chakra consumption.

Hyuga Tamamo extended her jade-like finger and pointed at the kunai scattered on the ground below. "Don't you realize that although his teleportations seem random, they all have one thing in common: the kunai under his feet. Every place he teleports to must have kunai he scattered there.

I observed him for a long time. When he killed those Chunin, he appeared beside them on the surface, but the actual distance varied. The distance depended on the location of the kunai. The two Chunin who escaped were able to do so because they fled beyond the range covered by the kunai, which is why he stopped pursuing them. When he killed the last Chunin, after his thrown kunai was dodged, he appeared behind him without warning, which further confirmed my guess. If he could teleport at will, why would he bother throwing the kunai in his hand?

No wonder he scattered kunai all over the ground at the beginning. So that's how it is. The genius of the Uchiha clan is indeed not to be underestimated."

"Princess, since we know the specifics of this ninjutsu, is there any way to break it? With his current movement speed, we can't even touch his clothes!" Hyuga Tenpu stared intently at the battle, his Byakugan locked onto Uchiha Shin's figure, not looking away for a moment.

Hyuga Tamamo sighed, "I don't know if he created this ninjutsu himself, it's simply perfect. It actually uses space to move. If his strength were any greater, even if he just reached Jonin level, this ninjutsu would make today's situation very difficult to handle. You might all be in danger. Fortunately, his actual strength is only at the Special Jonin level, which gives this ninjutsu a slight weakness."

"What do we need to do?" Hyuga Tenpu didn't even ask what this weakness was, directly asking what needed to be done. This was due to his absolute trust in his princess.

"It's very simple. Since he needs to use kunai to teleport, we just need to clear away the kunai he scattered to gradually compress his teleportation space until he has no space left to teleport. With your Elite Jonin strength, you can naturally kill him with ease.

However, this method has a drawback. We don't know how many of these kunai he has on him. If he has enough ninja tool scrolls, he could continue to scatter kunai while teleporting. No, this method won't work, he must have considered this situation. Also, we don't know if this teleportation has a distance limit. What if he placed kunai elsewhere before coming here? By the time we finish clearing the kunai, he could just leave, and we'd look like fools." Hyuga Tamamo subconsciously bit her fingernail again, a thoughtful expression on her face.

"If this ninjutsu truly has no distance limit, or if the distance limit is very far, then where is the most likely place he would have placed kunai...?"

Lost in thought, she glanced at the situation on the battlefield. Her pure white eyes gradually narrowed. It was somewhat similar to how Shin thought. After a moment, she returned to normal and softly called out, "Kazama!"

"Princess!"

A man in Hyuga attire suddenly appeared from the shadows not far away and respectfully bowed to Hyuga Tamamo.

Hyuga Kazama was a personal guard specifically chosen by the Hyuga Clan head for his daughter. His strength level was Jonin. He had been following Hyuga Tamamo closely wherever she went all these years.

Therefore, although Hyuga Tamamo officially brought three Elite Jonin and seven Chunin to Fujiwara Mine this time, she actually had her personal guard with her. In fact, if it weren't for the need for some Chunin to gather bandits and deliberately expose their strength, she would have only wanted to bring three Elite Jonin and her guard.

Hyuga Tamamo instructed, "You will immediately go to the Uchiha clan's ninja outpost here and kill all the Uchiha ninja there. If Uchiha Shin suddenly appears there, kill him without mercy. I suspect he has left kunai there. If he doesn't appear, return to the Hyuga clan by dawn and do not linger."

"Yes!"

Hyuga Kazama, who had just walked out, nodded in agreement and turned into a black shadow, heading into the distance.

"Princess, there's no need for this, is there? No matter how much of a genius Uchiha Shin is, he's just a five-year-old child. Unless he knew in advance that we would ambush him here, how could he have prepared a retreat route so early!" Hyuga Tenpu watched Kazama disappear into the distance, thinking his princess was sometimes overly cautious.

Hyuga Tamamo didn't care and chuckled, "I'm only eight years old, and I never underestimate any opponent. Isn't it a ninja's creed to prepare for the worst in every situation? But there's no need to talk about this now. Let's discuss how to kill this cunning loach."

Hyuga Tenpu fell silent. He knew that since the princess had said so, she must have already planned something, and he just needed to listen.

She pointed at the ongoing battle of one fleeing and two pursuing. "Assuming he has prepared a retreat route, why isn't he escaping? Logically, he shouldn't be able to harm any Elite Jonin, let alone kill them."

Hyuga Tenpu replied, "Therefore, I believe even more that he hasn't prepared any retreat route. Otherwise, there's no point in him delaying."

Tamamo shook her head, "This means he's waiting for an opportunity, waiting for a chance to turn the tables and win, disregarding the difference in strength."

Hyuga Tenpu said, "Such an opportunity doesn't exist. His strength is too poor. Give him a few more years, perhaps. But now, it's absolutely impossible."

Tamamo, however, laughed, "Such an opportunity does exist. As long as he can subdue me, it's possible."

Hyuga Tenpu was startled and quickly said, "I will protect the princess's safety!"

Tamamo shook her head, "No, we must give him this opportunity. If he really left kunai elsewhere beforehand, or has enough scrolls on him, the method of clearing kunai won't work. What a terrifying ninjutsu, completely uncrackable by other ninjutsu! In that case, we can only work on the psychological aspect."

She looked at the kunai not far from her feet. It was one that Shin had scattered at the beginning, landing near her feet. She hadn't paid it any mind at first, but now it seemed to hold great significance.

"I have a plan..." she began softly, explaining her plan, a faint smile appearing on her lips. In the moonlight, she looked like a snow-white and cunning fox.
