Evil Uchiha brat, I'll marry you myself.

Because current technology is not advanced, there are no utility poles.

His gaze swept across the area below, with his primary focus on the Uchiha clan.

Before Konoha was established, various ethnic groups fought each other.

The Senju and Uchiha clans are the strongest among them.

However, the Senju clan is good at accepting vassals from smaller clans, while the Uchiha clan considers itself proud and will not easily accept vassals from other clans.

This resulted in the Uchiha clan having the most enemies in the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

He has grudges with almost every family, to varying degrees.

This laid the foundation for the later decline of the Uchiha clan.

It's estimated that only Madara Uchiha saw this and wanted to lead his clan away, but unfortunately, no one was willing to follow him.

"Just as Yingliu-jie said, Konoha is indeed restless at night."

After observing for just over ten minutes, Koki had already detected two different signs of ninja energy fluctuations.

On one side is the Hyuga clan, and on the other is the Uchiha clan.

Because Hashirama intended for the Senju clan to assimilate into the common people, the Senju clan did not have a clearly defined clan territory.

In other words, the two most powerful clans in Konoha on the surface are the Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Mu decided to go and see the Uchiha clan.

Anyway, he has the Flying Thunder God Technique, so as long as he can react in time, there's no way he'll crash.

Having gained experience the first time, the second time will naturally be much easier, and you'll find the right entrance effortlessly.

Following behind that group of people, Gu Mu quietly sneaked into the Uchiha clan's territory.

The location they were heading to appeared to be on the outskirts of the Uchiha clan area.

Previously, Uchiha Shizuka also lived in a remote area.

It's hard not to connect them; they're a group of people.

Thinking of this, Gu Mu's eyes turned cold, and he used his unique wind-based perception ability to create distance.

As long as there are no sensory ninjas in that group, they cannot detect them.

There are three people in total.

At present, Koki does not know which clan's ninjas they belong to.

It appears that some kind of assassination operation is underway.

Gu Mu leaned against a wall, watching as the three people in the distance quietly slipped into a small room.

A few minutes later, Gu Mu heard the sounds of fighting coming from inside.

Was the assassination attempt unsuccessful? Or was it all a trap from the start?

"boom!!"

With the sound of a window shattering, a figure flew past the ancient tree.

The man's face was pierced by shards of window glass, and he had a large hole in his chest, making him look extremely pitiful.

"Who are you, and why did you infiltrate the Uchiha clan?"

Gu Mu quickly approached the man and, without hesitation, tore the black cloth off his face.

It looked rather old, and I didn't recognize the old tree.

"I...you..."

The ninja had barely spoken when he spat out two mouthfuls of blood, then his head lolled to the side, and he died instantly.

"No, can you finish speaking before you die?"

Gu Mu's eyes were speechless. If there were a next time, he would probably give the person first aid.

"Fireball, it's time to go. Damn it, this is a trap set by the Uchiha clan!!"

There was movement behind him.

The two ninjas, speaking in a somewhat urgent tone, flashed past Gu Mu, instinctively mistaking him for a companion.

"Your uncle."

Gu Mu cursed under his breath, looking at the Uchiha clan ninjas chasing after him frantically.

This is a situation where even jumping into the Yellow River won't clear my name.

"Who are you? Why are you causing trouble for the Uchiha clan?"

Gu Mu was forced to follow behind the two men.

Although he could use the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave directly, he still wanted to know if these two were related to the incident involving Uchiha Shizumizu.

"Ok?"

Shimura Tano also seemed to notice that the person beside him was clearly not a companion, and that the child was rather young.

But his thoughts were quickly interrupted when several more Uchiha ninjas appeared in the distance.

These ninjas, dressed in green security uniforms, must have heard the commotion and immediately surrounded the area.

"Interesting. It seems I'll be able to have a real battle this time."

Gu Mu showed no signs of oppression; on the contrary, his face radiated a hint of joy.

His arrogant and ignorant attitude drew disdain from Shimura Tano beside him.

This kid must be quite young.

He needed to understand that what he was about to face was not a childish battle, but a real life-or-death struggle.

I wonder if things will ever be this easy again.

Chapter 17: They escaped, but they didn't completely escape.

"There are six people in total. There is a Chunin in the back, and the three guards in front, judging from their uniforms, none of them are squad leaders, so they should all be Genin."

Based on the current situation, Shimura Yamashita quickly began to analyze it.

"In other words, we're going to face one Chunin and five Genin, and all of them are from the Uchiha clan."

"Brother Tianye, will this work?"

Shimura Tano didn't speak immediately, watching the Uchiha ninja rush over.

He spoke to the ancient tree beside him: "Young brother, although I don't know who you are, in this situation, if we want to escape safely, we have no choice but to join forces."

"We can only join forces. Who told you I was going to join forces?"

Gu Mu's tone was silent, with a hint of mockery.

"You will regret this!"

Shimura Tano thought to himself, "This kid dares to be so stubborn even in this crisis. He'll be crying when he faces the threat of death."

"It's a bit different from the intelligence; there's also a backup."

The Uchiha ninja chasing behind him spoke seriously after spotting Koki's figure.

"It's alright, I'll take care of the only Chunin."

"The rest of you, work with the security guards to take down the remaining two, then come and support me. As long as we can hold them off, we'll win."

The Uchiha clan's Chunin were highly experienced in combat and quickly devised the most effective battle plan.

"Damn it, looks like I'm really going to be stuck here."

"Down the mountain, look for an opportunity to leave this place."

Shimura Tano glared at Koki and charged backward, intending to fight three opponents at once and buy some time.

As for the ancient trees, they went to greet the guards together with the people below the mountain.

They can only act quickly; the longer they delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for them.

Who told them to dare cause trouble right under someone else's nose?

"A ninja who has truly experienced life and death? Let me see what makes them different."

Unlike young people like Hiruzen Sarutobi, these ninjas had all experienced the baptism of the battlefield.

The entire body carried an aura of bloodlust.

That would tell you that someone must have taken your life.

"Shhhhh!"

A series of whistling sound waves came from the air. Although the environment was dark, Gu Mu could still clearly sense that these things were shuriken that were spinning at high speed.

With that level of attack power, they were really aiming to kill someone.

As expected of the warlike Uchiha clan, they show no mercy when it comes to killing.

Thinking of this, Gu Mu felt no pressure. They already wanted to kill him, so why bother explaining?
