Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 15 Little Yin Bi

In a small, bush-covered valley near the Konoha front-line camp at the border of the three kingdoms of Fire Rain River, two figures were engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand combat, while a brown-haired girl watched with a slightly tense expression.

Suddenly, a figure appeared beside the brown-haired girl. He had blond hair and blue eyes, wore a blue bodysuit and a green vest, and had a handsome face and a gentle, sunny demeanor.

"Ah, teacher, you've come." Nohara Rin relaxed her tense body and said with a look of joy.

Minato Namikaze nodded slightly, looked at the two fighting, and smiled, "Xuan's taijutsu has improved very quickly; he can now fight Kakashi on par with him."

"Yes, he's improving very quickly. Gen is a genius, just like Kakashi."

As they were talking, Uchiha Gen and Kakashi stopped sparring and walked towards the two of them.

These days, Uchiha Gen has been focusing on training his taijutsu, such as using taijutsu to fight as much as possible on the battlefield and sparring with Kakashi.

Compared to ninjutsu and genjutsu, taijutsu is Uchiha Gen's weakness. Of course, with the aid of the Sharingan, Uchiha Gen's taijutsu is very strong among those of the same level.

"teacher."

"Minato-senpai."

This was Minato Namikaze's own request; he wanted Gen Uchiha to just call him "senpai" (senior) and not "sama" (master).

"We have a mission. Go pack your things and get going."

"Teacher, what's the assignment?"

"The Hokage has given me orders to lead men to intercept the Cloud Village, which is invading the Land of Fire."

"What? The Hidden Cloud Village has invaded the Land of Fire again?"

"There's no way around it. Our forces on the front lines at Kumogakure are limited. Even though Lord Orochimaru is a brilliant strategist, he can't possibly cover everything."

Konoha's intelligence system is extremely powerful, possessing two and a half systems: one is the intelligence squad of the interrogation department, the other is Root, and the remaining half is the Anbu.

The future Fourth Raikage, A, and others were already very careful, but Konoha's intelligence agents still managed to obtain information from them.

"Teacher, shall we go with you?"

"No, this time the Hidden Cloud Village has launched an invasion with two teams, one open and one covert. I need to lead men to stop the covert team led by the Third Raikage's son. You guys follow the rapid support force to stop the open team."

"Understood, teacher, please be careful."

Minato Namikaze smiled at the three of them and said, "You should also be careful and not be reckless or overconfident."

"The teacher left first."

After saying that, Minato Namikaze's figure vanished from the spot in an instant. That was not an ordinary Body Flicker Technique, but a space-time ninjutsu.

It's worth mentioning that the Flying Thunder God Technique consumes more chakra the farther the jump distance.

The current Minato is not the Edo Minato who possessed half of the Nine-Tails during the Fourth Shinobi World War; he cannot use the Flying Thunder God Technique to travel continuously.

"Let's go too."

Uchiha Gen and Nohara Rin nodded.

The three figures disappeared from their original spot in a flash, leaping quickly between the hills, and in the blink of an eye, they became three small black dots.

The three returned to camp, quickly packed their belongings, and then set off with the rapid support force.

The rapid support force consists of seventy people, including Chunin, Special Jonin, and Jonin. The selected Chunin are all skilled in speed and can travel very fast. The leading Jonin is the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.

The group swiftly traversed the lush forest. To the average person, they could only see shadowy figures darting by. When they were tired or lacked chakra, they would eat soldier pills to replenish their strength and chakra.

After traveling for a day and a night, they finally arrived in the northeast from the west of the Land of Fire. After setting up traps in the direction the Cloud Village ninjas were heading, the group quickly recovered their strength and chakra.

Clearly, there are Konoha spies among the Cloud Village ninja.

During the rest period, the ninja sensed the ninja's vigilance, and the barrier team ninja set up a barrier to disrupt their senses.

Sensory ninjas, sealing ninjas, and medical ninjas are treasures in every ninja village.

Among them, sensory ninjas and sealing ninjas are even more precious than medical ninjas. Unless absolutely necessary, other ninjas will not allow these two types of ninjas to get involved in the battle.

About an hour later, a sensory ninja who was hiding to disrupt the enemy's senses without disrupting their own issued a warning, and the Konoha ninjas immediately perked up and prepared for battle.

collapse!

The Cloud Village ninja at the forefront snapped a steel wire as thin as a hair, instantly triggering a chain reaction in which countless shuriken and kunai with explosive tags burst forth.

ding ding ding...

Boom boom boom...

ah ah ah...

The sounds of metal clashing, explosive tags detonating, and screams rang out in succession. The vanguard of the Cloud Hidden Assault Force was instantly dealt a heavy blow. Corpses fell from the trees, and the few survivors were all wounded.

"Konoha has noticed, retreat!"

The leading Jonin from Kumogakure made a decisive decision.

Upon hearing this, the Cloud Village ninjas immediately retreated, but the Leaf Village ninjas naturally wouldn't let them escape so easily. They attacked from their hidden positions, forcing the Cloud Village ninjas to fight back.

Taking advantage of the chaos, a Cloud Village ninja with a green ribbon hidden on his right arm escaped the battlefield, and the Konoha ninja did not launch an attack.

Once a spy has completed their mission, they should naturally leave the scene. Returning to Kumogakure would likely be extremely dangerous, as Kumogakure's Anbu (secret forces) are not to be underestimated.

"kill!"

Three Cloud Village ninjas, wielding ninja swords, charged towards Team 7. Their movements were swift and agile, easily dodging the shuriken fired by Team 7. Their momentum was unstoppable, showcasing their elite skills.

Kakashi and Gen Uchiha immediately rushed forward and engaged the three in battle.

The ninja from Kumogakure was skilled in swordsmanship and lightning release, but in terms of taijutsu, he was still inferior to Kakashi and Uchiha Gen, and was at a disadvantage in a three-on-two fight.

The three Cloud Village ninjas exchanged glances, and one of them broke away from the group to attack Nohara Rin, who was holding a kunai and ready for battle.

Uchiha Gen threw out three shuriken, but the Cloud Village ninja calmly swung his sword to deflect them and continued his advance. However, the shuriken flew around once and then crossed over to attack again.

The Cloud Village ninja was startled, but he didn't panic. He dodged and slashed, narrowly escaping with a small cut on his waist, which did not affect his combat ability at all.

Just then, Nohara Rin, seizing the opportunity, threw out two kunai. The Cloud Village ninja was terrified and tried his best to twist his body to avoid the vital points.

He did succeed, but the deadly poison applied to his body circulated through his bloodstream, and in less than a breath, his face turned ashen as he fell to the ground.

As a medical ninja, Nohara Rin naturally knew how to use poison, but she hadn't done it before; the ruthless Uchiha made a suggestion.

Genjutsu Sharingan!

Uchiha Gen's eyes suddenly transformed into two-tomoe Sharingan, sweeping across the field and meeting the eyes of the two Cloud Village ninjas.

Unlike the native Uchiha who valued clan honor more than their own lives, Uchiha Gen was a pragmatist.

Not only did they deliberately remove the Uchiha clan crest, but they also didn't reveal their Sharingan at the beginning of the battle.

This insidious Sharingan technique directly determined victory or defeat, life or death!

The two Cloud Village ninjas froze abruptly, and Uchiha Gen and Kakashi seized the opportunity to launch an attack.

Four figures passed each other, blood mist spurting from their necks, and two corpses fell to the ground.

Kakashi, who had landed on the tree trunk, twitched his lips. Although it wasn't the first time he'd seen it, he still thought, "How insidious!"

It was so insidious that even the pride of the Uchiha clan was humbled; it was terrifying!

"Kakashi, how about I be the main DPS this time?"

The two had been together for over a month, and Kakashi often heard strange things from Uchiha Gen, and had learned a lot of new knowledge.

"Alright, I'll be the secondary DPS, and Rin will remain the support," Kakashi said calmly.

"I agree," Nohara Rin said with a broad smile, raising her right hand.
