Revitalizing the Uchiha clan starts with becoming a Kage.

Upon landing.

A dull thud followed.

Although he had anticipated the attack and dissipated most of the force upon landing, the kick still made Itachi frown. The faint pain emanating from his arms indicated that his opponent's physical strength and power far surpassed his own.

Looking at the blood-red patch on the mammoth's shoulder not far away, Itachi's eyes revealed a hint of regret. His use of Sharingan and control of genjutsu were still too rudimentary. If he could be more skilled, his opponent would have fallen into his genjutsu control at the very first glance.

This is also why Itachi didn't activate his Sharingan at first. He planned to let the opponent close the distance so that he could make his move. Unfortunately, he still failed. Even though he did manage to slightly injure the opponent, it was far from the result he had initially expected.

This also made Itachi realize more deeply that while genjutsu is indeed terrifying, it is several times more difficult to use it to defeat enemies than ninjutsu or taijutsu. For ninjas, the requirements for precision and strength in genjutsu are far too high!

As Itachi searched for his next opportunity to attack, he inwardly lamented that his illusion techniques were only at the very beginning. Little did he know that the mammoth opposite him was already on edge, because just a moment ago, he had truly sensed the presence of death.

Just one second off, no, if my reaction had been just 0.5 seconds slower, I could very well have lost my life.

The thought that he had almost died at the hands of that kid who was clearly not even ten years old made Mammoth's expression extremely ugly.

Especially when he saw that his five subordinates were being suppressed by two other kids, and all of them were injured.

The expression on this Hidden Grass Village Jonin's face became even more fascinating.

From hunter to prey, the transformation takes less than a minute.

It's really hard to react in time.

However, although the mammoth was a little devil.

However, after noticing that Itachi, Kurotsuchi, and Deidara were Uchiha clan members who had awakened the Sharingan, possessed Explosion Release, and had Lava Release, he no longer regarded them as ordinary kids.

302. Where do you want to go? (Third update)

I was originally thinking that I could quickly defeat that black-haired brat on the other side.

His own subordinates could easily kill or capture the other two Iwa ninja brats, so the plan remained unchanged. However, everything seemed too difficult now. Although he was still stronger than the Iwa ninja brat on the other side, he couldn't achieve a quick victory. Akahoshi's situation was already precarious, and it was only a matter of time before his five subordinates were captured.

Although he and another group of subordinates joined forces with some of Akahoshi's companions to ambush and intercept the support troops arranged by the Third Hoshikage, let's not even talk about whether these people can arrive in time. Even if they can, with Itachi, Kurotsuchi, and Deidara, three Iwagakure genin, already present, the situation remains uncertain.

Mammoth had to prepare for the worst. Was the infamous Uchiha Shoji already on his way? He couldn't linger here any longer. Although abandoning the plan here would result in heavy losses and punishment upon returning to the village, it was still better than losing his life here.

This decision was made immediately without much hesitation.

"!"

Mammoth took a deep breath, a sharp glint in his eyes. Retreat was the only answer, but how to retreat was a matter of great importance. Running away on foot would be the most foolish thing to do. He had to make sure that his remaining subordinates and Akahoshi attracted as much attention as possible and forced this Uchiha boy in front of him to fight back.

Create the necessary gap.

That would be the perfect opportunity for me to escape!

"boom!"

To retreat successfully, they had to launch an attack first. The mammoth suddenly unleashed a powerful wave of chakra, and while trying to avoid Itachi's line of sight, it pounced straight toward Itachi's location.

This is an extremely fierce appearance.

This also served as a wake-up call for Itachi.

They adopted a full-fledged defensive stance.

"boom!"

"Clang!"

Intertwined figures.

The two were once again engaged in an extremely fierce confrontation.

"Fire escape!"

"Tudun!"

This intense battle scene was completely captured by Jiang Si, who was hiding in the shade of a tree in the upper left corner of the battlefield. It must be said that Mammoth's worries were not unfounded. His subordinates had all arrived, and in the absence of other enemies, the supervising ninja would usually arrive in a very short time.

Jiang Si was like that, and he arrived only slightly later than the three little ones. The reason he was a little slower was not because he arrived earlier, but because he helped solve some minor troubles on the way.

The time difference was only one or two minutes.

As the commander takes office.

Just then, Mammoth led his subordinates onto the scene, launching a surprise attack on the Third Hokage. Unlike Itachi, Deidara, Kurotsuchi, and others who had to carefully search their surroundings, Shoji's immense perception allowed him to easily determine that the only enemy figures around him were these people.

This is a situation I can completely handle.

Shoji stood leisurely in the shadows, wanting to see how Itachi, Kurotsuchi, and Deidara would formulate a battle plan and allocate their forces in this situation, facing an enemy who was not weak and whose strength was definitely superior to theirs.

The three's performance greatly satisfied Shoji. The enemy consisted of two Jonin and seven or eight Chunin and Genin, all of whom were stronger than the three rookie Genin by normal standards. However, Itachi devised a surprise attack plan based on the strengths of the three of them.

Then, very reasonable combat objectives are assigned.

The battlefield was instantly divided into three groups: two with an advantage and one with a slight disadvantage, or even a balanced situation. As long as nothing unexpected happened, it was only a matter of time before the final victory was achieved. Moreover, during this process, there was a high probability that no one would die; serious injuries would only require the enemy to launch a small attack.

With the three little ones handling things, Jiang Si was naturally happy to have some free time. Such battles also allowed the three of them to accumulate more combat experience and hone their combat skills.

This can also further enhance the teamwork among the three.

This is the point that Jiang Si values ​​most. As for whether there will be any accidents? Jiang Si himself has already come to the scene. If an accident still happens, then Jiang Si might as well go buy a block of tofu and smash his head against it.

He looked completely relaxed, much like a teacher observing his students taking a 'classroom quiz'.

As long as Deidara, Kurotsuchi, and Itachi perform well, what does the rest have to do with him?

Even though the area below is now a scene of utter devastation.

The blood splattered everywhere made the stench of blood on this land even stronger, but Jiang Si's expression remained completely unchanged.

The enemy's misery.

That is their greatest fortune!

When Shoji first arrived in this world, he might have had a little bit of compassion, but now he only sees everything from the perspective of a standard ninja.

What we are seeing now is the unfolding of a world that conforms to common sense.

"Pfft!"

"what!?"

As the general stood calmly to the side, staring intently.

The battle below has also reached its final stage.

Half of the five or six ordinary grass ninjas had already been killed by Deidara and Kurotsuchi working together, and the remaining two were also injured and in a precarious situation.

Akahoshi's Peacock Technique was also decisively defeated by the Third Hoshikage.

This is a scenario where the final blow is imminent.

This made the mammoth, who was also struggling, look even more stern, but thanks to the tug-of-war just now...

Mammoth has already distanced itself somewhat from the other two warbands.

Then, as if it were free, the chakra was released unrestrainedly, one B-rank and C-rank ninjutsu after another!

This further pressures Itachi's positioning.

After creating a tiny gap between the two.

"boom!"

Mammoth immediately pulled out a smoke bomb.

"This is!?"

As it was suddenly flung out.

The smoke that suddenly filled the air blocked the view.

"not good!"

Itachi was stunned for a moment, but he reacted in the next second.

"Hmph, I'm not playing along!"

"Whoosh!"

The figure flashed out in a sudden retreat.

The mammoth leaped straight to the tree trunk on the back side, looking at the weasel who clearly couldn't stop him in time, and the red star who had just been subdued and was looking at him with resentment and anger not far away.

"Well then! I'll make my exit right here!"

Mammoth took a deep breath, intending to unleash his chakra and retreat.

"Where do you intend to go, sir, the Jonin of Kusagakure?"

Judging from Itachi's somewhat annoyed expression.

Suddenly, a clear voice rang out.

Just as Itachi's face lit up with joy.

Mammoth's expression suddenly froze.

303. Aftermath (Happy New Year!)

P.S.: Happy New Year to all my fellow book lovers on the first day of 2022! May all your wishes come true and everything go smoothly in the new year!

Silently, without the slightest sound or sensation.

This was the sound that suddenly rang in his ears. As Mammoth slowly turned his gaze, what came into his view was the figure of a black-haired young man wearing the uniform of the Iwa ninja.

"Jiang Sisang!"

The moment I saw that figure.

The words Itachi shouted in surprise from below.

It also shattered the last glimmer of hope deep within Mammoth's heart, causing his heart to sink straight to the bottom, and directly confront this Uchiha clan Asura who now has a great reputation throughout the entire ninja world!

The chill from the mammoth's feet shot straight up to his head, and the palpable cold power he felt made his body tremble uncontrollably. At this moment, the mammoth truly understood what it meant to have a great reputation without being undeserving; he and the other person were truly not on the same level.

Just by being face to face, Mammoth felt a suffocating sense of unease. The fear that spread throughout his body almost made him lose all will to fight. He knew very well that his chances of surviving and escaping were almost zero, but even so, Mammoth was absolutely unwilling to surrender here and wait to die!

A desperate attack!
