From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 157 Uchiha: Oh no, they're coming for me!

Kurabi and his men were discovered the following day.

The person who discovered it was a ninja from Konoha, belonging to the Uchiha Guard Corps.

Danzo, in alliance with the major clans of Konoha, exerted pressure, forcing Fugaku Uchiha to withdraw members of his guard unit to join the battle against the Cloud Ninja.

The Uchiha clan's continuation was secured by sacrificing Uchiha Muneki. Although this was not publicly stated, someone leaked the news, causing some of the younger ninjas within the Uchiha clan to harbor considerable resentment towards Fugaku.

Although it could not shake Fugaku's position as clan head, it did indeed affect the image Fugaku had previously cultivated.

Of course, it wasn't just the Uchiha Guard Corps that came; Konoha also dispatched some Genin squads, temporarily forming a mixed unit.

The core members are mainly Jonin from the Uchiha Guard Corps, with Uchiha Tetsuka as the main member, followed by six Chunin from the Uchiha clan and one Genin from the Uchiha clan.

As the advance reconnaissance force, they set off ahead of time with the goal of finding the Cloud Ninja's encampment or gathering intelligence on the war.

"These guys are Cloud Ninja."

It's easy to tell from their headbands that these people who died inexplicably were ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village.

"Strange, how could someone die in a place like this?"

A Uchiha ninja looked puzzled: "It seems they are a reconnaissance team. What happened to them?"

“Look at this!” The steady and mature Uchiha Tetsuka walked to the body of Kurabi, squatted down and carefully examined the wounds, his brows furrowed: “What a cruel method. This guy was bitten in the neck with his teeth and bled to death.”

The wound on his neck looked like tattered cotton wool.

Furthermore, the edges were extremely irregular, covered with messy teeth marks, and looked like a bloody mess, as if it had been torn apart by a wild beast.

The others glanced at it and immediately gasped.

"hiss--!"

They had seen plenty of gruesome deaths.

But this is the first time I've ever seen someone bite through my throat with their teeth like this.

Such a cruel method immediately gave some Uchiha who had just graduated and were stepping into the battlefield for the first time a little 'shock'.

"vomit--!"

Suddenly, a discordant sound drew everyone's attention.

Uchiha Tetsuka glanced at the boy who was leaning against a tree and vomiting while wearing goggles, and said coldly, "This is the battlefield. You have to get used to it as soon as possible. The enemy will not show mercy or stop kunai from cutting off your head just because you feel unwell."

"Yes, yes, Lord Tiehuo!"

The boy, wearing goggles and pale-faced, tried to suppress the churning in his stomach and explained, "I was just a little nervous, so I ate a few extra rice balls before I left."

"You can save your reasons for the enemy."

Uchiha Tetsuka snorted coldly, slowly stood up, glanced at everyone, and said, "Remember, we have already entered the Land of Hot Springs. Do not let your guard down, understand?"

"Yes, Lord Tiehuo!"

The boy who was singled out for criticism hung his head dejectedly.

The little girl next to him stroked his spiky hair and gently comforted him, "It's okay, Obito, I believe in you."

The boy wearing goggles was none other than Uchiha Obito. After being comforted by the girl with two pats on the head, the dejection on his face vanished instantly, and he cheered up again: "Yes, you're right, Rin. This time, that annoying Kakashi isn't here, so I'll definitely protect you!"

"Obito, you're here again."

Lin stood with her hands on her hips, her face slightly cold, and said angrily, "You're not allowed to talk about Kakashi like that. We're teammates, aren't we?"

"Ah, yes, yes."

Obito's response was extremely perfunctory. He curled his lip and thought to himself, "Who would be teammates with that annoying Kakashi!"

"You two, have you finished talking?" Uchiha Tetsuka's eyebrows furrowed into a deep frown as he said coldly, "This is a battlefield, not a school, and certainly not a place for you to flirt. Shut up!"

Looking at the unreliable Obito Uchiha, he was completely exasperated.

I really don't understand why Lord Fugaku insisted on having him bring these two burdens along. Isn't it just making things worse?!
"It's all your fault"

Lin blushed, muttered under her breath, and dared not make any further moves.

As for Obito, he didn't listen to the reprimand at all. Instead, when he heard the words "romance," his mind was filled with pink bubbles.

"How could the Uchiha clan have such an idiot?"

Tetsuka's lips twitched. He wanted to get rid of this idiot, but due to Fugaku's orders, he could only suppress his anger.

He rubbed his temples and sternly reprimanded, "Since a Cloud Ninja reconnaissance team has appeared here, it means that the main force of the Cloud Ninja is not far from here. We could be attacked by the main force of the Cloud Ninja at any time, do you understand, Obito!"

"I'm so sorry, Lord Tiehuo."

The stern tone instantly snapped Obito out of his reverie, making him realize that they were on the battlefield!

Although he wasn't very reliable on a regular basis, he was still a qualified ninja and probably knew the cruelty of the battlefield. If things continued like this, he might not only be unable to protect Rin, but he might also lose his own life.

"Lord Tetsuka, please rest assured, I will not let my guard down again!" Obito slapped his face hard until his cheeks turned red, and said with a serious expression.

Tie Huo nodded with satisfaction: "It's good that you know. Although you have awakened the Sharingan, never be arrogant because of it, otherwise you could easily lose your life on the battlefield!"

After reprimanding his juniors, Tetsuka re-examined the battlefield and said after a moment, "Hiroto and Masahito, you two go back quickly and tell Lord Fugaku about the situation here. Tell him to speed up his advance. The main force of the Cloud Ninja is already approaching the border!"

"Yes, Lord Tiehuo!"

The two ninjas whose names were mentioned were Chunin from the Uchiha Guard.

Upon receiving the order, the two did not hesitate at all; they immediately took off and flew back along the route they had come from.

As the two leaped into the air, the atmosphere seemed to vibrate, and a deafening clap of thunder suddenly shattered the silence.

Realizing what was happening, Uchiha Tetsuka's expression changed drastically, and his pupils suddenly contracted sharply: "Oh no, come back quickly, Hiroto! Masahito!"

But his reminder came a step too late!
Boom!

A dazzling blue lightning bolt traced an arc in the air.

Immediately afterwards, a figure swept through the air at a speed too fast for the naked eye to detect, arriving with a terrifying aura and sound wave.

"Thunderous Blade—!!!"

The thunderous roar stirred up waves of air.

In an instant, Hongren and Changren, who had no time to dodge, were violently struck by the figure.

Then, to everyone's horrified surprise, as if struck by a speeding truck, accompanied by cracking sounds from his bones, he was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string.

The two crashed heavily into the tree trunk, and when you looked at them again, they looked like a lump of mud, stuck to it.

The lightning bolts leaped violently before finally striking the tall tree trunk.

A burly, strong figure was enveloped in lightning. His short, light-gold hair stood on end like steel needles, and his rugged face was framed by cold eyes that stared down at the scene below.

"Uchiha Uchiha. Uchiha."

He kept muttering "Uchiha," then a sinister smile appeared on his face: "Very good, you're lucky. I've been looking for you for a long time!"

Can't be so unlucky?
Uchiha Tetsuka's eyes widened in disbelief.

Unfortunately, I ran into the person I least wanted to meet.

They're probably in for a world of trouble now!
