Naruto: From Kushina Uzumaki onwards, a traitor

The enemy suffered a direct loss of three genin and one chunin, leaving them with only seven members.

Kyosuke Uchiha and his three companions were unharmed.

However, the sneak attack was over, and now that it was time for a head-on confrontation, Uchiha Kyosuke and his three companions were at a disadvantage and remained at a disadvantage.

After all, the other side still has four Chunin, two Genin, and one Special Jonin.

The special Jonin was utterly astonished when he saw the eyes of Uchiha Kyosuke and the other three: "Four Uchiha?! Attack them all at once! Take them down! And be careful not to look them in the eyes!"

The seven Cloud Ninjas charged towards Uchiha Kyosuke and his group of four in an instant.

Kyosuke Uchiha and his three companions dispersed in perfect unison.

Gathering together now would be a huge disadvantage; separating would force the other party to disperse, which would relieve a lot of pressure.

Uchiha Keiichi and Uchiha Jinno acted together.

Although all four were Chunin, Keiichi Uchiha was the weakest, and Jinno Uchiha was injured, so the two of them acted together.

The two attracted the attention of several Cloud Ninja.

Uchiha Ryuhei also attracted the attention of several Cloud Ninja who were chasing him.

The three fought and retreated.

The strongest, Uchiha Kyosuke, faced a special Jonin from the Cloud Ninja alone.

"Yunliu·Shenglong!"

The special Jonin, wielding a short blade, swiftly charged forward and struck Uchiha Kyosuke's head with his elbow.

Kyosuke Uchiha crossed his arms to block.

However, the special Jonin quickly changed his move, gripping the short blade in reverse and thrusting it towards Uchiha Kyosuke's chest.

Kyosuke Uchiha delivered a straight kick, which was blocked by the Special Jonin's left arm, but he still managed to kick the Special Jonin back a step.

However, Kyosuke Uchiha was also pierced in the chest by the tip of the short blade. If he hadn't kicked away the special Jonin in time, his chest might have been pierced through.

"Fire Release·Dragon Fire Technique!"

Kyosuke Uchiha swiftly unleashed a ninjutsu, releasing a high-speed, straight-line flame that shot towards the special Jonin.

The special Jonin used the Substitution Jutsu to evade Uchiha Kyosuke's flames.

Kyosuke Uchiha's Sharingan caught sight of the Special Jonin, and he instantly ducked to dodge the Special Jonin's slash from behind, while trying to create distance.

"Cloud Flow - Flying Blade!"

The special Jonin leaped backward, wielding his ninja sword to create a lightning blade attack on Uchiha Kyosuke.

Kyosuke Uchiha used a kunai to block the lightning blade, but the nature of the lightning caused Kyosuke's arm to become paralyzed instantly.

The moment Uchiha Kyosuke showed signs of weakness, the special Jonin pressed on relentlessly, attacking Uchiha Kyosuke at an extremely fast pace, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Meanwhile, the situation for Uchiha Ryuhei, Keiichi, and Jinno is also not optimistic, as they have all fallen into a slump.

Aside from the ambush that reduced the number of Cloud Ninja in this team, of the remaining seven Cloud Ninja, only two Genin and three Chunin sustained minor injuries that wouldn't affect their mobility; the other two were unharmed.

On the contrary, it was Uchiha Kyosuke and his three companions who suffered more or less injuries.

Under pressure from the Cloud Ninja, the four were forced to gather together.

"What should we do? The disparity in numbers and strength is too great!"

"Has he really abandoned us?"

"How could he do this... He really went too far!"

"Is that the end?"

Chiyu still hadn't appeared, and seeing the Cloud Ninja approaching them, Uchiha Kyosuke and the other three felt a sense of despair.

Chapter 82 The Situation Stabilizes

Kyosuke Uchiha and his companions were no match for the others. They were surrounded by seven Cloud Ninja, who were gradually closing in on them.

The special Jonin spoke up: "These four are Uchiha. When you kill them, don't hurt their eyes!"

Just when Uchiha Kyosuke and the other three thought that Chiba had given up on them, Chiba's voice suddenly rang out behind them.

"You four are really weak. You're Chunin level, and from the Uchiha clan at that, yet you only managed to kill three Genin and one Chunin before it was over. I'm really disappointed."

Kyosuke Uchiha and the other three were overjoyed to hear Chiba's voice.

However, upon hearing Chiyu's rebuke, the four of them inwardly grumbled. Four Chunin, two Genin, and one Special Jonin ganged up on them. It was already a miracle that they weren't seriously injured. To think they could turn the tables was far too difficult.

While observing from the tree trunk, Chiyu had already estimated the strength of this group of Cloud Ninja.

For Chiyu, they weren't very appealing.

Chiyu used the Body Flicker Technique to instantly appear in front of the two Cloud Ninja Genin.

Chiyu's Body Flicker Technique was so fast that it startled the Cloud Ninja.

Two Cloud Ninja genin panicked and tried to attack Chiyu, but Chiyu casually threw two kunai, which pierced the necks of the two genin.

Four Cloud Ninja Chunin rushed towards Senba at the same time.

"Thunder Breath·Two Type·Rice Soul!"

At the moment Chiyu launched her attack, she unleashed a lightning-shaped five-hit combo.

The four Cloud Ninja Chunin didn't even see the trajectory of Chiba's attack before being cut down to the ground. Each of them had a huge wound on their body, barely breathing and barely able to stay alive.

The Cloud Ninja couldn't see the trajectory of Chiba's attack, but Kyosuke and the other three Uchiha could.

The four of them stared wide-eyed at Qianyu in disbelief.

Is this the power that Thunder Breathing should have?

Here, Uchiha Kyosuke learned the Breath of Lightning.

However, the training of Lightning Breathing did not go smoothly, because the power of Lightning Breathing in Uchiha Kyosuke's hands was too weak, and it consumed too much chakra, making it not worthwhile to use Lightning Breathing in battle.

Therefore, since learning Lightning Breathing, Kyosuke Uchiha has basically never used it.

But now seeing Chiba use the Breath of Lightning completely overturned Uchiha Kyosuke's view. How could it be so powerful?

It was as if what he was learning wasn't Thunder Breathing at all.

Chiyu looked at the last remaining special ninja.

The special Jonin snapped out of his daze and immediately turned and fled.

Chiyu didn't rush to chase after him. Instead, she said to the four members of the Uchiha Kyosuke group, "Now do you know how useless you are? So, from now on, behave yourself in front of me and listen to my orders. I won't make things too difficult for you, but if you make any small move, you'll have nowhere to escape."

"Thunder Breathing·Type 5·Heat Realm Thunder!"

Chiyu's ninja sword unleashed a high-heat, lightning-shaped slash, piercing directly through the chest of the fleeing cloud ninja.

Chiyu sheathed her ninja sword and looked at Uchiha Kyosuke and the other three, asking, "Did you understand what I said?"

Kyosuke Uchiha and the other three shuddered and immediately replied, "Understood!"

"Now that you understand, let's go clean up the battlefield, cut off their heads and take them back for the sensory ninjas to analyze."

Chiba leaned against a tree trunk, waiting for Uchiha Kyosuke and the other three to clean up the battlefield.

After completing the mission, Qianyu led the four back to the camp to hand over the mission.

...

The situation in the Land of Hot Springs gradually stabilized after Konoha sent reinforcements.

Orochimaru arranged for his ninjas to eliminate the Cloud Ninja's stronghold, and the process went very smoothly.

Because the Cloud Ninja had such a successful time in the Land of Hot Water, they had too many small outposts there and now they couldn't take care of them at all.

Often, as soon as one stronghold is destroyed by Konoha ninja, another stronghold is attacked.

Now, the Cloud Ninja are also starting to gather their ninjas and are proactively reducing the number of their strongholds.

Because the ninjas from Sunagakure and Iwagakure did not gain any advantage against the ninjas from Konoha on the battlefields of the Land of Rivers and the Land of Grass, they watched each other and no serious conflicts broke out.

While Kirigakure had stationed ninjas in the Land of Waves, they did not take any action and did not directly engage in combat with the Konoha ninjas.

Therefore, the Land of Hot Springs can be considered the most intense battlefield.

The Raikage of Kumogakure did not want to lose too many ninja before the war officially began.

After all, the Konoha ninjas in the Land of Hot Water are all elites.

The Hidden Cloud Village does not want to send its elite ninjas into the Land of Hot Springs at the moment.

Therefore, they have gradually come to a standoff with the Konoha ninjas and are not engaging in battle lightly.

The four battlefields gradually stabilized, allowing Konoha to catch its breath.

Konoha also began sending its genin (low-ranking ninja) to the battlefield for training.

After all, improving one's strength is the fastest way, and that's on the battlefield.

Three years have passed quietly.

On the battlefield of the Land of Hot Water, the two most active people were Chiba and Minato Namikaze.

In the past three years, Minato Namikaze has successfully mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, achieving a 100% mission completion rate.

At the same time, through his personal charisma, the Konoha ninja stationed in the Land of Hot Water all trusted and respected Minato Namikaze.

Qianyu also has a 100% success rate in completing tasks, and has never failed a single task.

However, following behind Chiba were only Uchiha Kyosuke, Uchiha Ryuhei, Uchiha Keiichi, and Uchiha Jinno.

Minato Namikaze won the trust of others through his personal charisma.

In everyone's eyes, Qianyu was completely devoid of human warmth, so no one wanted to get close to her.

In these three years, Minato Namikaze never fought Chiba again, focusing instead on completing missions, seemingly determined to compete with Chiba in missions.

Qianyu didn't care about missions at all; his goal was simply to gain witness points.
