Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 131: The Counterattack Begins

"Asuma, Red, Shizune, the three of you take Misa Uzumaki and hide."

While recovering his chakra, Chiga gave instructions to Sarutobi Asuma and the other two.

"If you can't do it, we'll die together!" Sarutobi Asuma said immediately upon hearing this.

"Yes, we are Konoha ninjas, we have no reason to watch our comrades sacrifice themselves!"

Kurenai Yuhi and Shizune said the same thing.

Although Sarutobi Asuma and the other two still didn't understand why Chiga wasn't going to run away, they wouldn't let Chiga face the Grass Ninja alone.

Seeing the three of them pull out kunai, wanting to fight alongside him, Chiga was deeply moved, but still shook his head and said:

"I don't need your help. I'm confident I can handle them, and the battle that follows is beyond your control."

"If you were to participate in the battle, I would need to spare some of my attention to protect you."

"That would be troublesome!"

Chiga's meaning was clear: if the three of them participated in this battle, they would only be a burden to him.

"But we're a team!"

"Since you're part of the same squad, you have to follow my orders as the captain!" Chiga said in a superior's tone, then added, "Alright, stop wasting time. Go hide. I'm going to wipe out the Grass Ninja. Isn't this what you've all wanted—to teach the Grass Ninja a lesson?"

At that moment, Misa Uzumaki walked up to Chiga and extended her arm again.

Chiga was about to refuse.

Unexpectedly, Misa Uzumaki seemed to know Chiga's thoughts and said directly, "Compared to you, I'd rather the Grass Ninja be wiped out. Since you're confident you can kill them, what's wrong with me doing my part to avenge myself?"

Hearing this, Chika glanced silently at Misa Uzumaki. Seeing the determination in her eyes, he laughed loudly, "Alright, since that's the case, you deserve some credit for wiping out the Grass Ninja. I'll report this to the Third Hokage when we get back!"

Since Misa Uzumaki has already said that, it would seem pretentious for Chiga to refuse.

He had originally planned to use emotional points to restore his chakra, but now it seems he can save some.

Having made up her mind, Chiga wasn't one to hesitate, and she bit down on Misa's arm.

"uh-huh!"

Misa groaned softly, trying her best to grit her teeth and not make a sound.

After all, she could tell that Chiga was quite opposed to restoring his chakra in this way. If her words hadn't been so reasonable, the boy would never have bitten her.

At this moment, she also realized that Kushina had taken on a good disciple.

In an instant, Chiga felt a strange energy flow into his body from his mouth.

Once this energy enters the body, it is transformed into chakra.

At the same time, his previously exhausted body began to gradually recover.

It has to be said that Misa's special healing method is indeed outrageous, no wonder Kusanagi relentlessly pursued her.

Chiga, now fully recovered, had a glint of shrewdness in his eyes.

"Your chakra reserves."

The moment Chiga opened her mouth, Misa Uzumaki's legs went weak, and if Shizune hadn't been supporting her, she would have collapsed to the ground.

Misa Uzumaki felt her chakra and life force dwindling, her weak eyes filled with horror.

That one bite almost made her faint.

"Feel sorry!"

Seeing Misa's weak appearance, Chiga couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

He himself did not expect that after restoring himself to full strength, Misa Uzumaki would lose so much chakra and life force.

Chika, now recovered, shook her neck.

"Now it's my turn to shine, you should all leave!"

Seeing Chiga's confidence, Sarutobi Asuma retorted, "It's like you've already wiped out the enemy."

In fact, after Chiga bit down on Misa, they already knew that the crisis had passed.

After all, Chiga, at full strength, could easily lead them to escape.

At the current distance, reaching the Land of Fire shouldn't be a problem.

Since Chiga still chose to fight, it means that what Chiga said before was not a joke, and he was really confident in dealing with the Grass Ninja.

Shadow Clone Technique!

Bang!

After a puff of smoke, Chiga summoned a shadow clone.

At the same time, Chiga took out a summoning scroll and spread it out on the ground.

Two thousand crows flew out.

Upon seeing Chiga and her shadow clone on the ground, the lead crow feather instantly understood Chiga's plan and perched on the shoulder of Chiga's shadow clone.

The other two thousand crows flew into the surrounding grass, using it to conceal themselves, and awaited Chiga's instructions.

Chiga thought for a moment, then said to Sarutobi Asuma and the other two, "To give you a sense of involvement, protect my clone. Make sure nothing happens to him, and don't disturb him. The key to this battle lies with him!"

Chiga suddenly realized that she seemed to be quite good at dealing with people.

Look at that, such a huge achievement as wiping out the Kusanagi ninja, it's worth at least two S-rank missions.

If he were to report back and say that Sarutobi Asuma and the other two did nothing and that it was all done by him alone, it would be a huge disrespect to the Third Hokage.

Now, Sarutobi Asuma has been given some tasks to complete, and his name can be added to the report when he returns.

The Third Hokage would probably be so pleased to see his son on the list that he might even elevate the merit by one level.

Ninjas aren't just about fighting and killing; they also need to be mindful of human relationships and social interactions!

"yes!"

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Asuma and the other two responded in unison.

Then, led by the shadow clone, Sarutobi Asuma and the other three hid in the bushes in the distance.

After hiding, the shadow clone sat down cross-legged, closed its eyes and concentrated, as did the crow feather standing on its shoulder.

At the same time, more than a dozen grass ninjas appeared in front of Chiga.

This was the vanguard of the Grass Ninja. In fact, the Grass Ninja couldn't hold on any longer during this chase.

Every time they caught up with Qianhe, they had to run with all their might. If they hadn't been able to chase him in shifts, they would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.

Their eyes lit up when they saw Chiga.

"There it is!"

"It's that brat!"

"Don't let him get away again!"

"Grab him!"

"Be careful of the Flying Thunder God Technique; don't engage him in close combat!"

The Grass Ninja already knew Chiga's basic information and that he had strong close combat abilities.

In an instant, shuriken, kunai, and explosive tags were all thrown at Chiga.

Facing the oncoming weapons, Chiga merely sneered, then rapidly formed fire-style hand seals with his hands.

After completing the seal, Chiga took a deep breath, his chest bulging as a large amount of chakra gathered there.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

Then he spat out a large expanse of flames, like seawater, from his mouth.
