Revitalizing the Uchiha clan starts with becoming a Kage.

at the same time.

"Earth Release - Rockfall Technique!"

The Cloud Village Jonin immediately clasped his hands together in prayer.

The marks formed very quickly.

"Snapped!"

With a soft shout.

"Boom!"

The surrounding area was covered with rubble.

From the angle of rushing upwards.

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"Whoosh!"

They gathered towards the core of the explosion.

"boom!"

A violent impact.

The terrifying roar fell again.

It seemed that the general was completely overwhelmed by this series of attacks.

Just as that Jonin breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he had succeeded.

"Whoosh!"

next moment.

A bolt of lightning flashed.

He was positioned behind himself.

A fleeting, sharp figure.

"not good!"

Before the Jonin could react...

"Pfft"

"Well!?"

Inside the bottom area.

A cold light blooms.

This Jonin from Kumogakure only felt a sudden pain in his chest.

A blade pierced through his chest from behind.

The tip of the knife was covered in blood.

"Truly worthy of the Uchiha clan..."

His trembling body, his strength receding like a tidal wave.

After reluctantly turning his head, he took one last look at Jiang Si's icy face.

next moment.

Consciousness is completely plunged into darkness.

"Chua!"

At the moment when the general drew his sword.

Blood splattered everywhere.

This Jonin from Kumogakure collapsed limply to the ground, completely losing his last breath. Only his wide-open eyes seemed to express the extreme unwillingness and desire to live deep within his heart.

'call....'

Only after confirming the enemy's death did the commander slowly exhale a breath of stale air and sling his katana back over his shoulder.

He glanced at his somewhat torn sleeve and slightly charred right arm, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

A Jonin is a Jonin after all.

And these aren't the Jonin from those small ninja villages who are mostly unqualified.

As one of the five great ninja villages, the Cloud Village is only slightly inferior to the Leaf Village in overall quality.

Their level of Jonin is also top-notch.

In other words, his reaction was extremely fast. Even without activating the Mangekyou Sharingan, the perception of a normal three-tomoe Sharingan was already top-notch, which allowed him to dodge the Jonin's series of attacks relatively easily. However, even so, he still suffered a slight injury.

This further intensified the sense of vigilance deep within Jiang Si's heart.

This is a battlefield.

He was facing a hellish situation where it was either life or death.

Any carelessness or negligence could cost you your life!

"Jiangsi-kun?"

And it was right after Shoji killed this Jonin from Kumogakure.

Not far away.

Two or three figures flashed over.

The leader was none other than Akimichi Motoyasu, the captain of the squad to which the command belonged.

The reason they rushed over at this time was because their side had just finished a battle, and Yuan Kang was worried that it would be difficult for Jiang Si alone to really kill this Cloud Ninja, so he personally led people to provide support.

33. Outpost Conquest

After all.

Most Konoha ninja clans were merely wary of the Uchiha clan's strength and disliked their habitual arrogance. They hadn't reached the point of being as fully vigilant and wary of the Uchiha clan as the higher-ups. At least these people still regarded the Uchiha clan as fellow villagers. The Akimichi clan, as one of the most popular ninja clans in the village, was no exception. Therefore, before the battle, they assigned tasks without hesitation.

Later, he realized that Jiang Si was only a fourteen-year-old boy.

They were terrified that something unexpected might happen.

This will not only affect subsequent missions, but could also potentially kill the commander.

Akimichi Motoyasu personally led his men to provide support. The time difference was only three or four minutes. Originally, it was thought that either the general was inexperienced and the other party escaped, or the two were still in a stalemate.

The only thing that was unexpected was that Jiang Si could so easily deal with this Cloud Ninja.

It's important to understand that if a Jonin is truly determined to escape, it's generally very difficult to catch up unless there are two or three ninjas of the same rank who can intercept them from both sides.

The two Jonin from Kumogakure who were left behind were like that.

Therefore, Motoyasu really did not expect this outcome.

As he paused, looking at the Cloud Village Jonin lying in a pool of blood at Shoji's feet, Akimichi Motoyasu breathed a sigh of relief, but a sense of emotion also welled up deep within him.

'It seems this young master Jiang Si is no less talented than that Uchiha clan prodigy who can use the Body Flicker Technique!'

Looking at the tall and upright Uchiha Shoji in front of him, Motoyasu thought to himself.

A fierce but brief skirmish.

While annihilating fifteen Cloud Ninja, Konoha only suffered two seriously injured and three slightly injured members of their own team, making it a resounding victory.

The reason, of course, lies in the additional Jonin combat power of Shoji.

This not only allowed Motoyasu and his men to fully dedicate themselves to the siege of the Cloud Village's Jonin, but also enabled the lower-ranking troops to rampage and slaughter ordinary Cloud Ninja. As a result, the costs paid by both sides were completely unequal. Subsequently, under Motoyasu's orders, the group quickly cleaned up the battlefield, disposed of the Cloud Ninja's corpses, and left two lightly wounded men to lead their seriously wounded companions to retreat first.

The remaining people.

It was under the leadership of Akimichi Motoyasu that this occurred.

They set off again, speeding towards the reconnaissance outposts along the eastern coast.

Fifteen Cloud Ninja.

In particular, the deaths of the three Jonin.

In Motoyasu's view, this must be the majority of the fighting force that the Cloud Ninja in the eastern stronghold can provide. Like Konoha, the Cloud Village has almost gathered all its main forces in the southern fortress stronghold opposite Yuquan Mountain. The remaining small garrison strongholds do not have many people. Having four or five squads and a Jonin in charge is already considered a very luxurious configuration.

It's important to understand that among the five great ninja villages, Jonin are considered to be at the very top of the pyramid. Before the original story progressed to the point where their combat power became absolutely devastating, Jonin were a symbol of strength and status.

Even with the vast power of Kumogakure, before the start of a full-scale war, the deaths of three Jonin were already a rather tragic loss considering the current scale of the battle between the two villages. Therefore, Motoyasu was able to conclude that the remaining forces in the eastern Kumogakure stronghold must not be many.

Upon receiving the news, they retreated directly, leaving behind ruins.

They must intercept these people first.

therefore!

"According to previous intelligence, there are four reconnaissance outposts and one logistics outpost here. I will handle the main attack position. Si Jun, Zhi Hui, the other four reconnaissance outposts will be handled by you two, each leading a small team!"

Unless one encounters unpredictable intelligence, one can make independent judgments.

These are pre-assigned tasks.

"Yes, Senior Yuan Kang!"

"Ah, no problem, Motoyasu!"

Shoji and another Jonin from the Aburame clan nodded in unison.

They split into three groups.

An attack that crushed the enemy in one fell swoop.

"Enemy attack!"

"What's going on!?"

"Contact Lord Jiu immediately!"

In their respective strongholds.
