Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 36 Chiga's First Battle

Upon hearing this, Si Tian was immediately alarmed: "Oh no, we've fallen into a trap!"

Upon seeing Kushina's flowing scarlet hair and recalling some details, he instantly realized that he had fallen into the trap of the Konoha ninja.

But by then it was too late. Under Shida's shocked expression, Kushina suddenly stomped her foot, and the tree branch beneath her feet snapped instantly. She shot out like a cannonball, directly blocking Shida's retreat.

Clang clang!

In the blink of an eye, the two had already exchanged blows with kunai, and Heihachi also found the two Iwa ninjas, throwing out a few shuriken to block their path.

When Kushina attacked, Chiga followed closely behind, blocking the Iwa ninja riding on the Red Rock Boar, his eyes narrowed.

It was less of a scrutiny of people and more of a sizing-up of that red rock boar.

The Red Rock Boar, already possessing Chunin-level strength, had a massive body encased in thick rock walls. Its wide eyes gleamed with ferocity, and its long tusks gleamed coldly in the dim moonlight.

"If it's the Sharingan, that would be a real problem!"

Chika murmured to herself, "These summoned beasts with high HP and defense are indeed very unfriendly to newbies who don't have many offensive methods in the early stages."

While Chiga was sizing up the other person, the other person was also sizing up Chiga.

Iwagakure looked at Chika, who was even younger than him, and his anxious expression relaxed slightly.

He gently patted the Red Rock Boar: "Kill him!"

"roar!"

Upon hearing this, the Red Rock Boar shook its body and let out a dissatisfied roar.

The Iwa ninja seemed to understand the Red Rock Boar's voice and said helplessly, "Deal. I'll offer five living people when we get back!"

After saying that, the Iwa ninja leaped off the Red Rock Boar and hid behind it.

At that moment, the Red Rock Boar kicked off with its hind legs, roaring towards Chiga like an out-of-control heavy truck.

Facing the menacing Red Rock Boar, Chiga remained calm. Suddenly, a faint light emanated from the katana in his hand, and he charged forward as well.

The Iwa ninja behind the Red Rock Boar took out three shuriken from his ninja tool bag, and then, with a flick of his wrist, threw the shuriken without hesitation.

Swish swish!

Taking advantage of the cover of night and the massive body of the Red Rock Boar, the three shuriken flew in an arc through the air towards Chiga.

Chiga didn't see it until the shuriken leaped over the Red Rock Boar's body and appeared in front of him.

Facing the Red Rock Boar that was right in front of him, thrusting its fangs fiercely, and the shuriken that was locked onto his vital points, Chiga's pupils contracted. He pushed off with his feet and leaped up, landing on top of the Red Rock Boar's head.

Tap, tap, tap!

The shuriken slammed deep into the ground the instant Chiga leaped up, making a dull thud.

"roar!"

At this moment, the Red Rock Boar roared, its huge head suddenly raised, and its tusks, more than a meter long, flashed with a cold light as it fiercely stabbed towards Chiga's abdomen.

Chiga's expression remained unchanged as he thrust his katana at the head of the Red Rock Boar.

With the aid of wind-attribute chakra, the samurai sword with cutting properties pierced into the stone wall of the Red Rock Boar as easily as piercing tofu.

However, the stone wall of the Red Rock Boar was thick enough that Chiga's katana only pierced through the stone wall, with the blade hitting the Red Rock Boar's forehead.

This part couldn't kill the Red Rock Boar; instead, it drove the injured Red Rock Boar into a frenzy.

"roar!"

The Red Rock Boar opened its foul-smelling maw, and a ball of scorching flame instantly formed, shooting towards Chiga.

However, this was exactly what Chiga had expected. With a forceful push of his hands, he used the samurai sword stuck in the Red Rock Boar's body to flip in the air, dodging the Red Rock Boar's fire jutsu while also arriving behind the Red Rock Boar and stomping hard on its back with both feet.

He instantly charged towards the Iwa ninja.

Chiga's target from the beginning was not the Red Rock Boar. As long as the master dies, the summoning beast will automatically disband.

"hateful!"

The Iwa ninja cursed under his breath. He had originally planned to use his summoning beast to quickly defeat his opponent and preserve some of his strength, but now it seemed that his opponent was not to be underestimated.

However, he was not afraid. In the Land of Earth, he was considered one of the best among his peers, no worse than anyone else. Otherwise, he would not have been chosen by Tsukasa to carry out this mission.

He took out his kunai and waited coldly for Chiga to arrive.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Sparks flew as the two fought for a while, each wielding a kunai. Without using other methods, they were evenly matched in close combat.

Chiga's swordsmanship was indeed at the master level, but his use of kunai was far less proficient than his swordsmanship. He wouldn't be able to defeat this Iwa ninja in a short time.

"Go to hell!"

Just then, the Iwa ninja suddenly shouted, seized an opening in Chiga's defenses, raised his hands high, and then brought two kunai down heavily on Chiga's head.

However, at that moment, a red light flashed in Chiga's eyes.

Sharingan - Genjutsu!

When Chiga opened those eerie eyes, the Iwa ninja knew something terrible was about to happen, but it was too late.

Even the Sharingan cannot be used for long-distance control, let alone a one-tomoe Sharingan, which is why Chiga did not use it immediately.

At this point, the outcome is already decided.

Chiga held a kunai against the chest of the immobile Iwa ninja, a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

However, Chiga quickly hardened his heart, exerted force, and the kunai immediately pierced the heart of the Iwa ninja.

Blood splattered everywhere, and Chiga's face was also covered in it.

"Sharingan, you're from the Uchiha clan!"

The Iwa ninja awoke from the genjutsu, looked at the kunai in his chest, a flash of despair in his eyes, and then the light in his eyes dimmed.

Seeing that Chiga had defeated his opponent in just a few moves, Ichima nodded to himself and then turned his attention to the other two battlefields.

Seeing that Kushina and Tsukasa were unable to determine a winner for the time being.

"You stay here and don't move. I'll go help Heihachi first."

Kazuma chose to help Heihachi first, and after saying a few words to Chiga, he rushed to Heihachi's battlefield.

The battle between Jonin is not something this kid can get involved in, so Kazuma gave him a heads-up first.

I'm afraid this brat won't realize his mistake and will join the battle, which would not only distract Kushina from protecting him, but would also be a huge sin.

Chiga nodded. Having just killed someone, the guilt in her heart had not yet subsided, and Chiga did not want to make any rash moves.

Taking a deep breath, Chiga turned to look at Kushina's battlefield.

There's a saying that goes, "Konoha's genin are destructive, while Konoha's jonin are just goofing around."

While this statement isn't entirely accurate when applied to the battle between Kushina and Tsukasa, it's close enough.

Chiga watched for a long time and realized that neither of them had used a single powerful ninjutsu yet. They were only using ninjutsu with few hand seals and were mostly engaged in close combat.
