The Great Hero Uchiha

The Sand Village Special Jonin didn't rush to make a move. Instead, he watched Uchiha Miyuki warily and gestured for the two terrified Chunin beside him to retreat. Clearly, he wanted the two Chunin to leave before engaging Uchiha Miyuki. In his mind, Uchiha Miyuki, the strongest genius of the Uchiha clan in this generation, already possessed the strength of a Special Jonin!

It wasn't that he was overthinking things; it was a conclusion he drew based on intelligence.

After all, considering the situation in Sunagakure, Uchiha Miyuki completed over ten Chunin-level missions while carrying Sarutobi Asuma, a huge burden, and an ordinary ninja. Furthermore, aside from one Chunin team with a sensory-type ninja, all the other dozen or so Chunin teams perished at the hands of Uchiha Miyuki alone.

Moreover, just yesterday, Uchiha Miyuki used the Transformation Technique to outwit two Special Jonin. No matter how you look at it, his strength is definitely close to the Special Jonin level!

Uchiha Miyuki immediately threw out a few kunai, seemingly without any real effort.

The Sand Village's special Jonin immediately threw out several kunai to try and neutralize Uchiha Miyuki's throwing technique. However, Uchiha Miyuki never expected these kunai to kill the enemy. His real intention was to use them to disturb the other two retreating Chunin and create an opportunity for him to use his own technique.

Hearing the commotion behind them, the two Chunin immediately panicked.

This is a battle at the level of a special Jonin!

At the same time, they felt a whooshing sound. Startled, the two almost instinctively thought that the enemy had thrown kunai at them and tried to use the surrounding trees to deflect the enemy's attack. This action was naturally not a problem. However... the place they dodged was exactly what Uchiha Miyuki had calculated.

Do not!

Precisely--

It was the Sharingan's powerful dynamic vision that captured their movement patterns, allowing it to easily pinpoint their hiding places in case of an attack.

As soon as I hid behind the tree, I was met by four ninja crows with three-tomoe Sharingan eyes.

Sharingan genjutsu triggered!

The earlier whooshing sound was not a kunai attack at all, but the noise caused by another ninja crow forcing the two frightened birds into the trap.

Under the influence of the Sharingan genjutsu, a look of confusion flashed in the eyes of the two.

57. Ninjas don't need emotions, but humans do.

The special Jonin was on guard against Uchiha Miyuki and had no idea that the two Chunin had fallen under the Sharingan genjutsu.

This was neither due to negligence nor excessive caution on his part.

It was an intelligence misjudgment.

If he had known the true situation of Uchiha Miyuki, he wouldn't have let the two Chunin of the village leave first by having them stand still. Instead, he could have ended the battle by throwing a few kunai or releasing a ninjutsu. This is not an exaggeration. The speed at which the Special Jonin threw the kunai was such that Uchiha Miyuki's main body couldn't avoid them, nor could he neutralize them with ninjutsu or throwing techniques.

Illusion can only affect people directly; it has no effect on kunai or ninjutsu.

Although the clone's strength is more comprehensive than the original body, it is still not as threatening as the original body to a special jonin, so it is impossible for it to fight a special jonin head-on.

"it's over--"

Before dispelling the summoning jutsu, Uchiha Miyuki pretended to be mysterious for a moment.

Seeing that Uchiha Miyuki was about to form hand seals, the Sand Village Special Jonin immediately threw out several kunai in an attempt to harass him. If it were Uchiha Miyuki's real body here, the Special Jonin's harassment would have taken him away. However—the one standing here now is just a ninja crow clone!

Smoke billowed out.

The ninja crows returned directly to Konoha, rendering all the kunai thrown by the special jonin useless.

Meanwhile, the three Chunin from Sunagakure on the other side also turned into three corpses!

Two Chunin from Sunagakure, who had previously been under the influence of genjutsu, used explosive tags to kill a Konoha ninja. However... that all happened within the genjutsu. In reality, they had used explosive tags to ambush their own teammate. Subsequently, the remaining two Sunagakure ninja, under the influence of the genjutsu, mistook each other for Konoha ninjas and began killing each other.

Under the influence of the illusion, both believed they had found the enemy's weakness and thus unleashed their ninjutsu as killing moves, only to die from the other's ninjutsu.

By the time the Sand Village's special Jonin realized this, only three corpses remained.

Uchiha—

Royal travel! ! "

Meanwhile, the Konoha Special Jonin, who had been holding back, also took action.

A battle between two special Jonin is about to break out!

Upon receiving the message from the clone, Uchiha Miyuki created another ninja crow clone and used a sealing scroll to collect the bodies of the three Chunin.

A battle between special Jonin is something that a single clone cannot interfere with.

Uchiha Miyuki did not intend to participate in a battle of this level, nor did he reunite with the ninja crow clones to obtain the sealing scroll. Instead, he had the ninja crow clones leave from another direction and reunite with 'Sarutobi Asuma' and 'Yuhi Kurenai'. Of course, these two were fake bodies created by Uchiha Miyuki using the clone technique and the transformation technique.

Whether it was the sealing scroll that took away the corpse or the three ninja crow clones, they were all bait thrown out by Uchiha Miyuki!

It wasn't for fighting the enemy; it was merely to cover the escape of the main body.

If he weren't limited by his abilities, he would even have wanted to create several clones to give his main body a chance to escape.

All the preparations had been made, and now whether they could escape safely was up to fate... However, this time fate was not on his side, or perhaps destiny was playing tricks on him! A Chunin and a Special Jonin were heading this way from the direction they had chosen.

And this Chunin is none other than the sensory ninja who escaped from Uchiha Miyuki twice!

Something's up—

When Momoe Aburame discovered the two people, the three of them had already entered the sensory range of the sensory ninja.

Under normal circumstances, even if such a thing happened, Uchiha Miyuki could use the intelligence gap to disguise himself as an ordinary Chunin squad. Even if the Sand Village's special Jonin discovered this, they wouldn't deliberately attack him, since Uchiha Miyuki was the main target and naturally wouldn't waste time on an ordinary ninja squad. However!

Uchiha Miyuki left a very deep impression on this sensory ninja—

Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone on and on about how terrifying Uchiha Miyuki was after every encounter.

This also led to the sensory ninja remembering Uchiha Miyuki's aura.

"He's over there!"

"you sure?"

The special jonin frowned. According to the information relayed by the special jonin who were currently fighting the Konoha ninja, Uchiha Miyuki, Sarutobi Asuma, and Yuhi Kurenai should have left from another direction.

The sensory ninja nodded affirmatively.

"I'm sure! I memorized his scent a long time ago, there's absolutely no mistake."

The two immediately chased after the three people.

At the same time, Momoe Aburame panicked and even forgot to use lip reading.

"Oh no, they've changed direction and are coming straight for us!"

This statement clearly reveals a message.

The three have been exposed.

Although he couldn't figure out how he had been exposed, Uchiha Miyuki still took appropriate measures.

"Adjust the position and confirm again!"

The three immediately changed direction.

"They changed direction too—"

Aburame Momoe was completely panicked, as was Masami, who was usually very quiet.

Both of them stared blankly at Uchiha Miyuki.

Uchiha Miyuki's spirits sank to rock bottom. This test had made him realize that the Chunin must have a sensory ninja; otherwise, a special Jonin wouldn't have taken a useless Chunin on a mission. Thinking of this, a figure flashed through his mind—a figure he hadn't forgotten even after so long—

Back when I was still a genin, I once mocked a Chunin squad from Sunagakure for inexplicably harming themselves, calling them brain-dead.

The sensory ninja who is now attacking with a special Jonin is very likely the one he once mocked!

These thoughts flashed through my mind rapidly.

Uchiha Miyuki immediately said to Aburame Momoe and Masami, "The enemy has sensory ninjas; they're coming for me... You two should run!"

This is not the Virgin Mary.

It's not that we've given up.

It is the only option we can make right now.

The three of them fled separately. If the enemy did not lock onto them, this plan could influence the enemy's judgment and increase their chances of survival. If the enemy did lock onto them, it would be better for one of them to die than for all three to die. After all, the enemy was coming for them and there was no way to avoid it, so there was no need to implicate others.

"No! We're teammates, I can't leave you behind!!"

The person speaking was not Momoe Aburame, but Masami, who had always been a woman of few words.

"Once is enough!! I never want to experience that feeling again—when my teammates die and I'm powerless to help them!!!"

It wasn't until this moment that Uchiha Miyuki understood why Yami had always been so taciturn; it turned out she hadn't been able to get over the grief of losing her teammate in the last incident.

Aburame Momoe bit her lower lip. It was clear that she really wanted to leave and live, but looking at Ayami who was unwilling to leave, she struggled for a moment before finally speaking with difficulty.

"Let's go together, let's die together!"

She didn't stay because of Uchiha Miyuki, but because she couldn't bear to part with Masami.

After all, the two had been in the same team since they were genin, inseparable and had overcome countless difficulties together. How could they easily give up such a bond?

Regardless of their reasons for refusing to abandon him, Uchiha Miyuki was moved by their unwavering loyalty. However, he quickly suppressed this emotion, regaining his composure. This was not the time for sentimentality. Glancing at the two of them, Uchiha Miyuki immediately revealed his Sharingan—

"Look at me!"

The two subconsciously raised their heads and met the Sharingan's gaze.

After a moment of confusion, under the influence of the illusion, they departed in another direction.

Within their senses.

The three successfully completed their mission and are now on their way back to camp, having not encountered any attacks from any special Jonin.

58. If you want to give up, then give up from the very beginning!

Watching his two teammates' departing figures, he then fled in another direction, summoning a ninja crow to his side to enhance his presence and draw the enemy's attention to himself as much as possible. If the two had abandoned him earlier, he would never have done such a foolish thing that only a suicidal idiot would do; he would have simply tried to minimize his presence.

Regardless of the reasons, the two of them have clearly stated that they want to live and die with him here. As a normal person, he would naturally try his best to avoid implicating them in this situation!

Great, glorious, and correct?

Do not!

This is not something glorious or righteous at all.

In his view, any normal person would make the same choice.

Knowing he was likely doomed, why drag innocent people into this mess? He had no deep-seated hatred for either of them.

Making this choice doesn't mean he's given up. No matter how slim the hope of survival may be, as long as his mind keeps working, even if he only has one cell left, he won't compromise or give up his right to live! Otherwise, why would he struggle so hard in this chaotic world?
