Once exposed, Uya would obviously find it difficult to conceal his identity and serve as an Anbu Ninja.
In other words, after this battle, Uya will basically be leaving the Anbu.
However, just as Uya was thinking about leaving the Anbu, a look of realization finally appeared in his eyes, and he completely understood.
Yes, that's it!
His current position is that of Special Anbu, no less than a squad leader in the Anbu, and his achievements in less than a year have far surpassed those of those squad leaders!
If Uya were to achieve further merits on the front lines, it would be almost certain that he would become the next Anbu Captain after Hatake Sakumo!
The Anbu Captain will inevitably gain power, and will become Konoha High Command, second only to Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo, Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu!
If Uya hadn't been as strong as she is now in the beginning, Hiruzen Sarutobi would have trusted Uya a lot. But sometimes things are like that; when you become stronger, it can actually attract people's apprehension.
Once Uya becomes the captain Danzo the Anbu Captain, coupled with his monstrous growth rate, he will almost directly threaten the positions of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Uya!
Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi could trust Uya and make him the captain of Uya Anbu Captain, Danzo, Utatane Koharu, and the others would absolutely never agree to it.
And so, this whole thing happened.
By transferring Uya to the front lines, even if Uya achieves great feats, his status will be Genin.
Even with extraordinary achievements, one can only be promoted to Elite Jonin at most after a war.
In this way, Uya's power was greatly weakened. Of course, he could still become a hero of Konoha in terms of status, but as long as he did not hold actual power, he would remain within the range that Danzo, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and others could approve of.
Having fully grasped the cause and effect of the matter, Uya finally couldn't help but reveal a hint of mockery on his face, directed at both Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Does he care about power?!
They don't care at all!
Without absolute strength, what use is power against someone like Madara Uchiha, who could single-handedly crush and sweep away an entire ninja village?!
It's not that Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo's ideas were wrong; it's just that their perspectives were limited.
As the Hokage and Hokage assistant, they should theoretically have a very high level of vision, overlooking the entire Shinobi World, but they are no match for Uya.
Uya knew not only about Madara Uchiha, who was capable of sweeping through the Shinobi World single-handedly, but also about Princess Kaguya Otsutsuki, an existence that was almost like a god!
Faced with these people, the so-called Anbu Captain, even the so-called Kage, and the so-called Daimyo of the Land of Fire are just meaningless words.
"Fine, anyway, I've long since stopped wanting to wear this mask."
He removed the mask from his face, unleashing Power of Tremors that shattered it into pieces, reducing it to dust. Uya turned and left without looking back.
They went directly to the area where the Konoha Genin were gathered.
Here, Uya saw many familiar figures, some of whom were even Uya classmates, but Minato Namikaze was not among them.
"Huh, Uya!"
Someone recognized Uya and immediately greeted Uya.
Uya looked up, initially not intending to respond, but after recognizing the person greeting him, he nodded slightly.
"Um."
The person who greeted him was Tsunade's younger brother, Senju Nawaki.
Hey! You look so listless, are you a little scared?
Senju Nawaki walked up to Uya, grinned at Uya, and casually patted him on the shoulder, saying, "This isn't the demeanor of the top genius from the Ninja Academy back in the Uya."
Uya's lips twitched slightly. No wonder Tsunade cared so much about Naruto in the original work. Indeed, Senju Nawaki's personality was very similar to Naruto's, and his talk-no-jutsu was quite good, successfully relieving Uya of the previous annoyance.
The only pity is that Senju Nawaki was not the reincarnation of Asura, which meant he was destined not to be the protagonist of the era.
Noticing Uya's twitching lips, indicating he didn't want to speak, Senju Nawaki assumed Uya was still scared and chuckled, "If you're scared, then come with me. I'm going to become Hokage, I absolutely won't die here!"
"..."
Uya looked at Senju Nawaki with a blank expression.
Are you sure this isn't the last line you say before you're about to die?!
Just as Senju Nawaki was about to pull another piece, a sound finally came from behind.
"Quiet down!"
The sound was loud, instantly silencing the noisy arena, and all the Genin looked up.
There, Jiraiya, one of the future Sannin Jiraiya, stood calmly on a high platform.
"I am Elite Jonin of Konoha, and I will now begin..."
Jiraiya walked forward step by step with a cold expression, trying to build up his momentum.
Unfortunately, he was truly destined to never be cold-hearted.
Thump!!
He happened to walk to the edge of the raised platform, Jiraiya lost his footing and fell straight down.
Uya: "..."
Senju Nawaki: "..."
All the other Genin: "..."
After Jiraiya's antics, the originally extremely oppressive atmosphere was instantly diluted.
You could say it was a case of having a silver lining despite a wrong!
Fortunately, Jiraiya didn't fall flat on his face this time. He landed steadily, coughed awkwardly for a moment, and then walked forward with a serious expression.
It seems that what he just did was merely his exit gesture.
"Alright, now I'll temporarily appoint a team leader."
During the decisive battle, the division of ninja teams was completely different. They were no longer divided into small squads, but directly into columns.
The Genin than one hundred genin in the arena were quickly divided into three columns, and Jiraiya then began to appoint temporary captains for each column.
It's temporary because someone could die at any moment during wartime.
Of course, in reality, this captain position wasn't very significant; the real command came from the strategizing Jonin and Hatake Sakumo.
These temporary team leaders are only needed when Hatake Sakumo and the commanding Jonin might not be able to attend to every detail during close combat, so they are appointed to lead the team.
Soon, Jiraiya selected two temporary captains, who had been pre-selected. They were two extremely experienced ninjas who were basically ready to be promoted to Chunin.
Next came the appointment of the third temporary team leader.
It was none other than Uya!
"Hmm, Uya... It's you. I haven't heard from you in a long time. You'll be the temporary leader of the Third Column."
Jiraiya initially found the name somewhat familiar, but when he saw Uya's face, he recognized him. After all, although it had been almost a year since Uya overpowered Minato Namikaze, Jiraiya still remembered it vividly.
Although Jiraiya appointed Uya as the captain of the third column, Jiraiya was quite puzzled as to why a child with almost no experience like Uya could be the temporary captain of the third column.
But since it was Hatake Sakumo's order, he did as he was told, even though he felt it was inappropriate.
Consider Uya's strength. Perhaps Uya lacks experience, but he was able to overpower Minato Namikaze back then. Even if Minato has surpassed him now, he should at least be Chunin.
They certainly qualify.
