The Great Hero Uchiha

"Then let's do it your way."

As Uchiha Miyuki followed the two, he directed the ninja crows to scout the area that Sarutobi Asuma had mentioned earlier. At the same time, he was also curious about what solutions the other teams would have chosen if they hadn't been assigned this mission. After all, not every team had a ninja with eye techniques, and not every ninja with eye techniques kept a dozen or so summoning beasts.

but……

We are currently on a mission in the field, so this is not the right time to chat.

My own life is more important than my curiosity.

The battlefield has now shifted to the rear of Konoha, with a large number of Sand Ninja infiltrating every day. There is even a secret base that has not yet been discovered, making it impossible to determine whether the conversation will attract any unexpected trouble.

Compared to when Akiko Shiranui led the team, he was much more cautious this time. Not only did he use ninja crows to search for enemy tracks, but he also prioritized confirming whether the surrounding area was suitable for combat, eliminating any potential safety hazards before making contact with the enemy. His caution paid off.

“I have spotted the enemy; they are indeed planning to pass through here.”

Uchiha Miyuki's expression turned serious.

Seeing Uchiha Miyuki's serious expression, Akikami and Kurenai Yuhi immediately understood that something unexpected must have happened.

"What's the problem?"

"The intelligence is wrong. The enemy is not a single team, but two teams acting together, a total of six people. Furthermore, it is impossible to determine whether there are any special Jonin or even Jonin among them." The Sharingan's ability to detect enemy chakra is not strong. It can only see the flow of chakra within the opponent's body, but it cannot determine the nature, degree, or quantity of the chakra within the opponent's body.

The two men frowned deeply at the significant discrepancy in their intelligence.

Uchiha Miyuki immediately asked.

"What do we do now?"

It was less of an inquiry and more of a statement—

Let's go!

In cases where intelligence is significantly flawed, abandoning the mission is generally not considered a failure, and reporting the situation might even earn a C-level mission rating.

Kurenai was the first to express her opinion, and she immediately nodded in agreement.

"I agree to abandon the mission."

Both of them focused their attention on Sarutobi Asuma, who pondered for a moment, then took out a map and spoke.

“There is a swamp here. We can go and observe it. If the concentration of swamp gas is sufficient, we can use the Shadow Clone Technique to try to lure the enemy into this area. Then, by using the swamp gas to enhance the power of our Fire Release technique, we will have a high probability of annihilating the enemy in one fell swoop. This plan has very little risk and can be completed using the Shadow Clone Technique and traps throughout.”

Uchiha Miyuki shook his head.

"The theory is correct, but... your clone technique is substandard, and the enemy can easily distinguish the real from the fake clone technique."

Both he and Kurenai Yuhi are genjutsu-type ninjas, capable of creating clones that are difficult for enemies to distinguish from the real ones. Furthermore, he possesses the ninja crow clone technique, which is so powerful that even Jonin would have difficulty discerning the authenticity of his crow clones unless they encounter a ninja with eye techniques. Sarutobi Asuma, on the other hand, clearly does not possess this ability.

Sarutobi Asuma smiled mysteriously, formed a hand seal, and created a shadow clone.

"I have already learned the Shadow Clone Technique."

The Shadow Clone Technique is an intelligence ninjutsu with physical clones created by the Second Hokage. It was later stolen and learned by other ninja villages, making it a widely known and relatively easy-to-obtain technique. Many Chunin from the five great ninja villages possess this skill. Its advanced version, the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, is a forbidden technique exclusive to Konoha.

The ninja crow clone mastered by Uchiha Miyuki.

It actually falls under the category of Shadow Clone Technique. It's a ninjutsu created by the Inuzuka clan based on the combination of shadow clones and summoning beasts. He had to pay extra tuition to learn this ninjutsu.

Kurenai Yuhi shook her head helplessly.

"I've learned it too."

Uchiha Miyuki's tactical style has always been to avoid contact with the enemy as much as possible, and he often uses the Shadow Clone Technique. Therefore, when Kurenai Yuhi was studying genjutsu, she also learned the Shadow Clone Technique.

At this point, Uchiha Miyuki had no reason to refute, but he still questioned him.

"reason."

Sarutobi Asuma said, "I told you I wouldn't hold you back anymore."

Kurenai nodded in agreement.

In their view, if it weren't for them, with Uchiha Yuki's talent, he would have already shone brightly on the battlefield. Even if he was a notch below Kakashi, he would never have been living on the front lines for three years and still have little recognition. After all, in many missions, Uchiha Yuki was able to take down a team of enemy Chunin single-handedly without anyone noticing.

"What are you all thinking about all day long? When did I ever say I was being dragged down by you?"

Uchiha Miyuki's tone revealed his dissatisfaction.

For him, being able to keep paddling is the best thing, and it would be even better if he could continue paddling like crazy as before.

As for reputation?

No one wants to remain unknown forever. Of course, he also hopes to live a glamorous life, but that requires him to reach at least the Kage level in strength. Only then will he be able to easily solve most problems, and once he has Kage-level strength, he will naturally gain prestige as well.

It's best to remain unknown while you're still weak.

After all, he couldn't grow up quickly like those true geniuses; he needed to cultivate step by step.

For the weak, prestige is a burden.

For the strong, reputation is prestige.

He didn't want to die too soon.

"Stop talking about who's dragging whom down. I just have a little talent in eye techniques, not as strong as you think. If my eye techniques are targeted, my combat power is not even as good as an elite genin. Moreover, my weaknesses are very obvious and numerous. You should be very clear about this. Don't flatter me to death."

34. Asuma's Shinobi World Legends 2

As Uchiha Miyuki spoke, he still created an ordinary clone. Although it had the drawback of not having a physical form, it was still difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.

The main reason for agreeing to Sarutobi Asuma's plan was that the plan was not very risky to execute.

"Then let's try it out according to your plan."

Leaving their clones behind, the three of them arrived at the swamp not far away.

The air was filled with a thick layer of marsh gas.

The power of releasing Fire Release here must be terrifying, enough to wipe out two Chunin squads. However... the enemy isn't stupid; they certainly won't recklessly chase after us into the swamp.

"Relying solely on clones, it would be difficult to fully realize the plan, right? They certainly wouldn't rush after us once they see the swamp, and they can also use Wind Release to disperse the swamp gas."

Before Sarutobi Asuma could even begin to explain himself in response to Uchiha Miyuki's questioning.

Kurenai Yuhi spoke first.

“We know that the clones are clones, but the enemy doesn’t. Normally, as long as our clones are convincing enough, the enemy will think that we want to use the swamp to get rid of their pursuit. The main problem is how to make them realize that we will not perish together with them, but simply use the swamp to get rid of their pursuit, and give them a reason to chase after us.”

Uchiha Miyuki pondered for a moment before nodding.

Sarutobi Asuma said, "I've already consulted with the analysis department about some information regarding the enemy and us. Among the Chunin of Sunagakure, the three of us are quite well-known. If the enemy recognizes us, there's a high probability they'll risk chasing us because of our identities."

It wasn't until this moment, after being reminded by Sarutobi Asuma, that Uchiha Miyuki realized that their team's advantage wasn't just his eye technique.

Sarutobi Asuma's identity is also a huge advantage.

Especially in the context of a full-scale war, the son of the current Hokage is the best bait to lure the enemy into a trap.

The plan was quickly confirmed.

If you succeed, everyone will be happy; if you fail, there will be no loss.

The entire operation was carried out using clones and ninja crows, while the main body remained hidden in the shadows, deciding on subsequent actions based on the situation.

……

Before the three could take any action, they were detected by the two Sunagakure teams because one of them was a sensory ninja.

"Something's up."

Everyone immediately stopped.

The sensory ninja closed the curtain, focused his attention to enhance his sensory abilities, and after a moment said with a solemn expression, "With this amount of chakra, we must have encountered the Crow Squad!"

"The Raven Squad?"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, but their gazes quickly turned fervent.

The Ninja Crow Squad includes the son of the Third Hokage!

And a pair of Sharingan with three tomoe!

These can be exchanged for generous task rewards, and you can also gain a lot of fame.

“I felt a chakra creature fly over our heads before, but I didn’t pay much attention to it. I thought it was just a wild summoning beast. After all, creatures with chakra are not too rare. But now I can confirm that it should be Uchiha Miyuki’s ninja crow. With this genius’s abilities, our whereabouts must have been completely exposed to him.”

Only after being reminded by the sensory ninja did everyone remember that there was a genius from the Uchiha clan in the Ninja Crow Squad!

That was a terrifying genius who, three years ago, when he was just a genin, was able to single-handedly manipulate a Chunin squad using Sharingan genjutsu, while they were just two ordinary genin squads.

After hesitating for a moment, the sensory ninja continued speaking.

"If we continue to approach them now, given that genius's terrifying strength, even if we are prepared, we could still fall into his Sharingan genjutsu without even realizing it! Moreover, their team includes a steady ninja, Sarutobi Asuma, who has absolutely no sense of honor as a Hokage descendant. Since they haven't left yet..."

I'm certain that the other side has already set up a trap ahead of us, waiting for us to walk right into it.

Otherwise, given Asuma's cunning nature, if he wasn't absolutely certain, he would have fled immediately upon realizing the intelligence was wrong and that we had six people on our side.

As the sensory ninja described the scene, everyone immediately imagined themselves being trapped in an enemy's trap while under the influence of genjutsu, and couldn't help but shudder.

At the same time, Sarutobi Asuma's lewd smile also flashed into his mind.

"Damn it! He's so despicable, doesn't he have any honor as a descendant of the Hokage?"

"That's right, that's right—"

"Fortunately, he's so sleazy, otherwise... we probably would have died from that Uchiha genius's genjutsu long ago."

"I'm sure he used his privileged status to keep that Uchiha genius by his side and even went to his father's disciple's camp to gain merit! That Uchiha genius has been unable to become a Chunin for so long because of this. It's really... This guy has no sense of honor at all, and he's so cowardly and afraid of death."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

However, at this moment, an unusual voice still appeared in the group; it belonged to a Wind Release ninja.

"Is this Uchiha genius really that terrifying?"

"It's terrifying. None of the people who fought him and survived realized when they were under his genjutsu. You know the Mummified Corpse Squad, right? They're very strong, aren't they? But even with their strength, they were still ambushed by this Uchiha genius when facing him, and were almost wiped out by his genjutsu."

"Yes! I've heard about this too. This Uchiha genius single-handedly ambushed the Mummified Corpse Squad."

"If the Mummified Corpse Squad hadn't been temporarily reassigned, which inadvertently prevented the Uchiha genius's tactics from being fully implemented, the Mummified Corpse Squad might have been wiped out."

The wind-style ninja who started the conversation couldn't help but gasp as he listened to the surrounding discussions.

"No way, is he really that terrifying? He almost wiped out the entire zombie squad all by himself?"
