The Great Hero Uchiha

It was a time when he should have been serious, but after his confession that night, he just couldn't be serious when facing Uchiha Hatake.

"Tomorrow, your instructor, Jonin Shiranui Akika, will lead you to the Land of Wind for support. During this time, your mission is to secretly protect Sarutobi Asuma's safety."

? ? ? ?

Protect Sarutobi Asuma?

never mind--

Whatever you say, I've given up resisting.

Now he feels that he wouldn't be surprised if one of his clansmen became Hokage someday.

After all, this is a damn guardian clan.

"I understand."

Not long after Uchiha Hakuryu left, he suddenly came to his senses that he would be going to the battlefield tomorrow! Fear surged uncontrollably from the bottom of his heart, and his eyes stung again. Stimulated by this news, his Sharingan evolved to two tomoe. However... this change did not diminish his fear of war.

Time, however, does not stop because of his fear.

The next morning, after the illusion team assembled, their leader, Akiko, informed the three of their mission to provide support at the front lines of the Land of Wind.

Compared to Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai's excitement, he could only keep a straight face to hide the fear in his heart. This fear stemmed from war and death, and the fact that Orochimaru was the frontline commander of the Land of Wind! Although Orochimaru had not yet completely turned evil and would not easily take action against the village's ninjas for the sake of the Hokage position, he had already begun various forbidden jutsu experiments.

Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle.

His fear of Orochimaru even slightly surpassed his fear of war.

"Don't get too excited. The place we're about to go is the front line. One wrong move and you'll die! You two need to learn from Yu Xing and always keep a rational mind."

"Yes, I understand, teacher."

"Okay, teacher."

Looking at the village gate receding into the distance behind him, Uchiha Miyuki felt an urge to go and learn ramen making from Ichiraku. However, he dared not gamble on whether he could survive to the end by staying by Ichiraku's side, and besides, he was a member of the Uchiha clan and was not allowed to become a ramen master.

Time travel stuff is best left to novels...

Three days later.

The team was only half a day's journey from the front lines of the Land of Wind, and just as the team was resting in the wilderness, a brilliant firework suddenly lit up the sky.

Everyone immediately recognized the meaning of the fireworks.

Konoha's distress signal.

"This is a distress signal. Stay where you are and remain vigilant. I'll go check the situation."

After leaving those words behind, Akika Shiranui abandoned the three of them and headed towards the direction where the signal light was lit. Without the three of them holding her back, Akika Shiranui displayed the speed of a Jonin. In just a breath, her figure had already disappeared into the distant night. By the time the three of them reacted, Akika Shiranui was long gone.

"So fast—"

"This is the strength of a Jonin? That's amazing."

Compared to the two who were indifferent to the war, Uchiha Miyuki nervously observed his surroundings, then silently leaned against a large tree, so that he only needed to be vigilant in three directions.

04. It's always better to be cautious.

"Yuki, you're being too cautious. We're deep in Konoha, quite a distance from the front lines. There shouldn't be any enemies here."

Compared to the thick-skinned Asuma Sarutobi, Kurenai Yuhi also concealed herself and cautiously observed her surroundings.

Sarutobi Asuma also became nervous because of the two of them.

Uchiha Miyuki pondered for a moment, feeling that maintaining vigilance for such a long time was not a sustainable strategy. He took out wire and shuriken from his weapon pocket and used Uchiha throwing techniques to set up a simple warning trap around him. Even after doing this, he still felt unsafe, so he made full use of his knowledge to set up a large number of traps nearby.

Most of them were just traps to fool people, but he didn't expect them to kill the enemy; he only hoped they would serve as warnings for himself.

This was an area close to the front lines, and there were people sending out distress signals not far away. In order to save his own life, Uchiha Miyuki felt that he couldn't be too careful.

"Yuyuki, aren't you being a little too cautious..."

Not only Sarutobi Asuma, but even Kurenai Yuhi felt that Uchiha Miyuki was being overly cautious, considering that they were still some distance from the front lines.

Uchiha Miyuki didn't want to give others the impression that he was cowardly, so he spoke up and explained from a rational perspective: "This is an area close to the front line. Once we encounter the enemy, it will definitely be an elite Chunin squad and a Chunin squad led by a Jonin. If we don't prepare in advance, we have no chance of winning against such enemies."

Upon hearing this, Kurenai Yuhi abandoned her initial thought that 'Uchiha Miyuki is too cowardly' and nodded in agreement.

"I'll help too."

Sarutobi Asuma still felt that Uchiha Miyuki was overreacting, but seeing Yuhi Kurenai start to help, he reluctantly helped set up the trap as well.

An hour later.

Akika returned, looking somewhat tired, clearly having just gone through a battle. As a result, her alertness had been slightly lowered, and she directly triggered a warning trap that Uchiha Miyuki had set up a kilometer away. Akika's expression changed slightly, and a bad thought flashed through her mind.

not good!

There is an enemy—

Unbeknownst to Qiu Huo, he immediately became alert, and upon observing this, he gasped in shock.

Why are there so many traps?

Could it be... that the front lines have fallen?

The enemy has set up a camp nearby? The Sand Ninja's movements are incredibly fast, only an hour has passed!

A series of thoughts flashed through his mind. He had already triggered a warning trap, and it was too late to sneak up now. Normally, he should contact the main force first and then make a choice based on the situation. However, Sarutobi Asuma was the son of the Third Hokage, so he could only bite the bullet and rely on his own experience to move forward as quickly as possible without triggering any more traps.

The deeper he went, the more alarmed he became.

There were far too many traps around, and most of them were chain traps. If the traps weren't so weak and posed little threat to Jonin, he would have been killed by them twice by now.

At the same time, they were increasingly losing hope that the three of them might survive.

When he reached the position, he discovered a crow hiding in the tree canopy, secretly watching him. He immediately recognized the crow as Uchiha Miyuki's summoning beast.

This gave him a huge sigh of relief.

"it's me."

The ninja crow's eyes were replaced by scarlet Sharingan, clearly indicating that some kind of genjutsu had been activated. However, the difference between the two sides was too great, and Uchiha Miyuki's genjutsu was directly blocked by the Jonin-level chakra within Shiranuma Akika's body.

Unbeknownst to Akiko, this Sharingan genjutsu used by Uchiha Miyuki through the ninja crows, while ineffective against Jonin, was more than enough to deal with Chunin with less chakra. If there were any other tricks up his sleeve, most Chunin would be assassinated by Uchiha Miyuki without him even realizing it.

At that moment, the ninja crow took flight, pulling on a steel wire and triggering a trap.

A kunai shot towards the throat of the unknown Qiu Huo.

If the enemy is under the influence of genjutsu, this kunai attack will surely take the life of an ordinary chunin.

However, all of this was nothing to the Jonin, Akikami Shiro. He dodged the kunai with a single flash, and the look of surprise in his eyes grew deeper and deeper, because he realized that the trap triggered by the ninja crow was not a trap with a fixed angle, but a trap whose trigger angle was adjusted by the ninja crow.

He truly deserves to be called a genius of the Uchiha clan.

After all, the Sharingan is an extremely powerful bloodline limit. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, a nine-year-old Uchiha who can awaken the Sharingan is considered a genius, regardless of his previous performance at the Ninja Academy.

Even without using any ninjutsu, the power of the Uchiha clan's bloodline limit alone is enough to make most ordinary people look up to them.

Upon closer inspection, Qiu Huo noticed something unusual in the surrounding environment.

"Come out!"

As his attention was focused on this unusual place where someone was hiding, Uchiha Miyuki rushed out from another direction, throwing shuriken with Uchiha throwing techniques and using kunai to block Shiranui Akika's dodging space. This move was effective against ordinary Chunin, but it was ineffective against a Jonin like Shiranui Akika.

Even though Akiko didn't know that Uchiha Miyuki hadn't noticed her immediately, she still used only one hand to use kunai to knock down the incoming shuriken and kunai.

"Stop fooling around."

At the same time, Akikami flashed and rushed in front of Uchiha Miyuki.

"Where are the two of them?"

"Who?"

Unbeknownst to Akika, Uchiha Miyuki's vigilance was commendable, and she directly stated the two men's names.

"Asma and Red".

"Full name".

"Sarutobi Asuma, Kurenai Yuhi, Uchiha Miyuki."

After thinking for a moment, Uchiha Miyuki realized that if Shiranui Akika was an enemy, his clone should have died when he deliberately rushed out to throw shuriken. Moreover, the other party would not know the names of Yuhi Kurenai, Sarutobi Asuma, or himself. He immediately formed hand seals. Seeing Uchiha Miyuki's hand seals, Shiranui Akika realized something was wrong.

"A clone?"

Just as Akika had predicted, Uchiha Miyuki dispelled his Crow Clone Technique.

He frowned deeply, completely baffled as to when he had been affected by Uchiha Miyuki's genjutsu, which prevented him from immediately recognizing that the person in front of him was a clone.

Is this guy really just a rookie genin fresh out of school?!

Even if he's a genius from the Uchiha clan, this... is a bit of an exaggeration.

He had seen many geniuses in the Uchiha clan, but he had never seen a genin who could make a jonin suffer on his first mission.

If Uchiha Miyuki knew what the other person was thinking, he would definitely reply.

This shows you're just too inexperienced!

Uchiha Miyuki, who was hiding a kilometer away and continuing to set up new traps with Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai, received the message from the clone. After pondering for a moment, he thought it would be safer to send Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai to scout ahead first. "Sensei is back. You two go back first. I'll clean up the traps."

Sarutobi Asuma immediately cheered and jumped up with joy.

"Finally, I don't have to set up this damn trap! I told you from the start, there was no need to be so cautious..."

Kurenai Yuhi then spoke up on behalf of Miyuki Uchiha.

"This is near a battlefield. We're just low-ranking ninjas, so it's always better to be careful."

Sarutobi Asuma muttered something with a hint of jealousy.

"But isn't this being a bit too cautious?"

05. Please call me Uchiha Slacker

Uchiha Miyuki didn't say anything, focusing on collecting the kunai, shuriken, wire, and explosive tags nearby.

Sarutobi Asuma intended to leave, but stopped after taking two steps.

"Let's go back together."
