The Great Hero Uchiha

Hiding one's weaknesses now is simply for the sake of saving face.

That's right!

It's all about saving face.

He's not the kind of person who likes to show off; he'd rather save face than lose face, just like when he practiced Fire Release in front of Shisui last time.

The two nodded, looking as if they had been taught a lesson.

As expected of a ninja from a prestigious clan like the Uchiha, they are truly exceptional and unlike us.

It took half a day to reach the mission location.

The intelligence and maps were still like cryptic texts, leaving him completely clueless. If it were half a month ago, he would have had to wait for Sarutobi Asuma and Kurenai Yuhi to analyze them. However, after half a month of practice, he can now determine the enemy's location directly based on experience without any calculations.

46. ​​Forbidden Technique: Celestial Illusionary Phenomena

Uchiha Miyuki did not take any action, but instead spoke to Aburame Momoe.

“Your Aburame clan is skilled in the secret art of controlling insects, so this search mission will be entrusted to you.”

Aburame Momoe hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"I am indeed good at reconnaissance, but this area is too big, and the intelligence has not yielded any clues. It would be difficult for me to find the enemy on my own."

Now that he was aware of what would happen in the future, Uchiha Miyuki naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to learn about his new teammate's abilities. As for whether the other party was Danzo's subordinate? He could find out directly through genjutsu once the teammate change was confirmed.

"Based on the enemy's overall marching speed, they should be moving in this area."

If a commoner ninja had said these things, Aburame Momoe might have hesitated or shown surprise. However, since these words came from Uchiha Miyuki, she accepted them immediately. After all, the Uchiha clan was one of the most powerful clans in Konoha, and ninjas from such a large clan would naturally know more than them.

Momoe Aburame sent out her insects.

When Kurenai saw the insect crawling out of Momoe Aburame's clothes, she couldn't help but shudder. It wasn't that she was afraid of the insect, but she just instinctively felt a chill run down her spine.

Aside from Yami's expression, which seemed normal, both Uchiha Miyuki and Sarutobi Asuma felt somewhat uncomfortable.

However, all three were seasoned ninjas and quickly regained their composure.

Compared to ninja crows, insects fly slower, but there are more of them, and they are more stealthy and harder to defend against, so they are faster than Uchiha Miyuki.

"Found it!"

Aburame Momoe said to Uchiha Miyuki with a happy expression.

Uchiha Miyuki glanced at Aburame Momoe and couldn't help but feel a little regretful. These insects were too small to be used as a medium for Sharingan techniques. Otherwise, he would have given up on the ninja crows and tried to learn how to raise insects from the Aburame clan. So what if some insects parasitize his body? Compared to his own life, what did that matter?

"Location."

"At three o'clock, more than one kilometer away."

"Enemy situation."

"If the reports are the same, there are a total of six people. Two of them are puppeteers, and the situation of the others is unknown." After pausing for a moment, Aburame Momoe added, "The insects I raise are quite sensitive to chakra. According to the information they give me, the total chakra of all six people is at the Chunin level."

Uchiha Miyuki looked at Aburame Momoe in surprise, "Your insects can determine the total amount of chakra in an enemy's body?"

"Yes, as I just said, the insects I raise are quite sensitive to chakra."

Aburame Momoe paused for a moment and then added, "My reconnaissance ability is relatively strong, but my combat ability is relatively weak. Yami is good at medical ninjutsu, but her combat ability is also relatively weak."

Uchiha Miyuki nodded and immediately dispatched all the ninja crows.

Seeing that Uchiha Miyuki had stopped moving after sending out ninja crows, Aburame Momoe asked, somewhat puzzled.

"What should we do next? Shouldn't we devise the following tactics?"

It was only then that Uchiha Miyuki spoke.

"Leave the battle to me—"

If possible, he would never have said such a thing, and he even hoped that he could just coast along the whole way. But before the battle even started, his two new teammates had already said that they were not good at fighting. He had no choice but to take up the mantle of the battle. Of course, he still wouldn't charge in directly to attack, but would use his advantages to block the enemy.

As long as you can gain the upper hand, unless the enemy is entirely composed of puppeteers, then...

There is absolutely no difference between one squad and two squads.

Although his strength has not yet reached the level of a Special Jonin, he already possesses the absolute dominance of a Special Jonin over a Chunin.

Not only Aburame Momoe and Masami showed surprise, but even Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai couldn't help but look at Uchiha Miyuki in astonishment. This was the first time they had heard such domineering words from Uchiha Miyuki. However, the two quickly calmed down. Uchiha Miyuki did indeed have the strength to say such words!

Aburame Momoe couldn't help but ask.

What are you going to do?

In her understanding, ninjas from large clans like the Uchiha were indeed very strong, but that was only relatively strong. Being able to fight two ninjas of the same level was already their limit. But now, Uchiha Miyuki was preparing to take on six ninjas of the same level by himself. Even the super genius Hatake Kakashi couldn't do this before he became a Special Jonin.

Uchiha Miyuki didn't explain much, he just pointed to a location on the map and said.

“Red, Asma, you two take the two of them and set up explosive tag traps here. Make the area a little wider and use a little more explosive tags.”

Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai immediately nodded.

Despite their doubts, Momoe Aburame and Masami followed Sarutobi Asuma and the other man to set up the trap.

This time, the number of enemies was twice that of the past, and they were on the march, all looking in the same direction. The Sharingan sealed in Crow's eyes had limited power, and against a Chunin, he could only cast genjutsu on one target at a time. If he wanted to cast genjutsu on multiple enemies at the same time, his true form would have to appear in person to cast genjutsu on four enemies at once, except for the two puppeteers.

but--

In the past two weeks, he has already incorporated forbidden techniques into his tactics, which can solve this problem.

Two ninja crows form a team. One ninja crow uses its eye technique to perform forbidden techniques, while the other ninja crow uses its Sharingan genjutsu.

Forbidden Sharingan Technique: Heavenly Illusion

Initially, this forbidden technique could only convert mental energy into silver needles and launch them, directly attacking the enemy's mental energy through the obstruction of the body and objects. Although its power was amazing, the side effects were also very great. Furthermore, continuous use could easily cause the Sharingan's vision to decline. This is why Uchiha Miyuki dared not directly use this forbidden technique in battle.

Furthermore, the ninja crow cannot be used; only the main body can wield it.

but……

He has now mastered the forbidden technique to a deeper level and has mastered another way of applying it. That is to wrap a thought in his mental energy and project it directly into the opponent's brain. This method of application puts a much smaller burden on the Sharingan, and the ocular power stored in the eyes of the Ninja Crow can also be used to perform this ability.

An enemy soldier on the march almost instinctively looked in one direction.

strangeness--

Why did I look at the edge just now?

This doubt had barely risen in my mind when it was subconsciously ignored, just like the Sharingan with its three tomoe that I had just seen.

P.S.: Please recommend, please favorite, please click anything, the current results are terrible—

47. Ninjas are human, not demons or gods.

Uchiha Miyuki did not continue using [Heavenly Illusion], as it was ultimately a forbidden technique. Even if the ninja crows could use it, it would not cause him any harm, but it would damage the ninja crows' eyes. Apart from a very small number of ninja crows, he had raised these ninja crows for so many years and had developed a sense of affection for them, so he would naturally try to minimize the damage.

Moreover, he was accustomed to eliminating enemies at the lowest possible cost, thus preserving as much strength as possible to deal with unforeseen events.

For him.

Now that one person is under the illusion spell, it is enough to dismantle the enemy from within.

The ninja, under the influence of the genjutsu, spoke awkwardly.

"Sorry, I probably drank too much water just now. I need to go to the restroom."

The teammates in front immediately stopped and didn't suspect anything. After all, ninjas are human too, and naturally they can't avoid basic instincts like eating, drinking, and relieving themselves.

However, one of the remaining five puppeteers spoke up at this moment.

"I'll take care of that too."

This is truly an unexpected delight.

Uchiha Miyuki originally only wanted to use this to disrupt the enemy's advancing formation, but he didn't expect to catch such a big fish.

When ninjas are on missions, they remain vigilant even when they go to the toilet, and they never stray too far from the main group, even female ninjas.

The puppeteer emerged from the puppet to relieve himself, finding the nearest spot to do so.

The other teammates naturally wouldn't be watching their teammates go to the toilet, and that was the opportunity that Uchiha Miyuki needed... With the main force's attention scattered and not focused on the same direction, he could take down the six members of the two teams one by one without anyone noticing, and even if he missed one or two, it wouldn't be a big deal.

The original body, standing at a distance, muttered to itself.

"Two, so there are four left."

The first Sand Ninja who was controlled by the genjutsu did not urinate, but she made some noise by pouring water from a water bottle onto the ground to prevent the enemy from noticing anything unusual.

Uchiha Miyuki quickly discovered a new weakness in the enemy's defenses, a weakness he himself had created.

He knew very well that ninjas would carefully observe their surroundings to prevent any potential dangers during unplanned temporary stops like this. Although he had an opportunity, there were still too many enemies, making it difficult for him to make a move. Out of caution, he had no choice but to give up this chance. As long as he didn't expose himself, there would still be a chance.

After all, ninjas are human too, and humans can be careless at times.

As for ignoring the direct, forceful attack?

Can--

However, that would unnecessarily increase some risks, and even if the risks are within a controllable range, I wouldn't do that.

Moreover, he had a backup plan.

Uchiha Miyuki spoke through the ninja crow, controlling the puppeteer.

"Is everything alright around here?"

"No."

There was an immediate response to the puppeteer's question.

"Let's rest here for a bit. If we go any further, we'll enter Konoha's third line of defense, and then we might not have much of a chance to rest."

The others nodded and responded.

Sunagakure doesn't have any bloodline clans, but it has a puppetry tradition. Therefore, ninjas who can become puppeteers are usually members of clans with a certain status in Sunagakure. As a result, in Chunin squads with puppeteers, the puppeteer usually occupies the captain's position. This is why Uchiha Miyuki used genjutsu to hint to the puppeteer to say this.

When everyone was resting, their attention was diverted, giving Uchiha Miyuki more opportunities to make a move.

Soon, the third target who had fallen under the illusion spell appeared.

He was a Sand Ninja who was staring blankly at the sky above.

Using the third Sand Ninja who was under control, he whispered to his teammate beside him, "Look at this cloud, doesn't it look like a pile of poop—"
