The Great Hero Uchiha

Some kind of chakra pattern?

Uchiha clan secret technique?

Is it just for increased defense? Or does it also include offensive capabilities?

Despite the fact that the other person was less than half his age and there was a significant difference in height, the other person simply walked towards him slowly and deliberately without launching any attack or even making any threatening probing. At that moment, the Wind Release ninja almost instinctively took a step back in fear.

Is this the aura of the strongest genius of the Uchiha clan in the present day?!

At the same time, he couldn't understand why the other party, who possessed such great power, had avoided fighting this afternoon.

Was it because the Third Hokage used political pressure to force the Uchiha clan to send out their own clan's genius to protect his son?

If that's the case, then it makes sense. In the afternoon, Sarutobi Asuma must have been afraid of being accidentally injured, so he forced Asuma to avoid fighting! He even went so far as to sacrifice his summoning beast that had always been by his side?

To actually appoint such a genius as a bodyguard—Konoha is truly rotten to the core.

Sunagakure will win this time!

These thoughts flashed through my mind for a moment before I refocused on the battle at hand.

How will he attack?

Completely incomprehensible—

Just like the invisible ninjutsu I faced that afternoon, I couldn't understand this dark golden secret technique either.

With so little information at his disposal, his brain simply couldn't analyze much meaningful data. In the face of this situation, some genin and chunin would panic and not know how to deal with it. However, jonin, on the other hand, wouldn't panic. He calmed down and devised a strategy, probing for weaknesses and stalling for time to wait for his teammates' support.

He struggled to throw out the several explosive tags.

It's not a direct shot, but a projectile shot!

This is a common throwing technique for explosive tag kunai used by ninjas. It is suitable for areas with complex terrain, such as the dense forest environment we are in now, where the landing point of the explosive tag kunai can be concealed by the surrounding trees.

Normally, this projectile technique is indeed difficult to defend against.

But Uchiha Miyuki possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan...

Do not!

Even with just a regular Sharingan, one can discern the parabola of an explosive tag kunai in the dark.

Uchiha Miyuki initially thought that his opponent made this basic mistake because he didn't fully understand the characteristics of the Sharingan. However, the new information he saw out of the corner of his eye made him realize that his opponent knew this characteristic of the Sharingan. The explosive tag kunai he threw was just a feint to distract Uchiha Miyuki and buy him time to form hand seals. However, his opponent underestimated the Sharingan's dynamic observation ability!

With the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan, even if the situation is ten times more chaotic, it can still take in all the information in an instant.

A hand seal for some kind of wind-style technique?

Is this distance a B-rank Wind Release technique?

wrong!

Even a B-rank Wind Release technique will lose some of its power at this distance.

If that's the case, then there must be another contingency plan.

The Wind Release ninja's every move after appearing was under the watchful eye of the Mangekyou Sharingan. Uchiha Miyuki did not notice any unusual behavior from the other party. The only unusual thing was that the explosive tag kunai that had been thrown earlier had regrouped into the explosive tag kunai that had just escaped not long ago.

It would be difficult for a normal person to see anything wrong in such a short time, but under the gaze of the Mangekyou Sharingan, Uchiha Miyuki noticed the special nature of these explosive tag kunai.

This is a specially made kunai.

I see--

Is the intention to use the wind generated by a low-level wind jutsu to change the landing point of the kunai from a distance?

So, the hand seals you made earlier were just feints, making me think you were unleashing advanced ninjutsu, using the explosive tags and kunai as a feint, when in reality the wind release was the real feint.

Great!

As expected of a special Jonin.

wrong!

These are two tactics combined.

I used the explosive tag kunai as a feint, which allowed him to release a low-level wind jutsu to change the core of his tactics.

If I use Wind Release as a feint, he will use the explosive tag kunai as a feint as planned. Even if the ninjutsu is weakened due to the distance, it is still a B-rank ninjutsu!

It's too late, it's soon—

All of this happened in an instant.

The Mangekyou Sharingan's observational abilities are indeed terrifying, but they are limited to observation. Whether this ability can be fully utilized depends mainly on whether Uchiha Miyuki can discern the enemy's tactical deployment in the first instance. Otherwise, the information observed by the Mangekyou Sharingan is just that—information.

His taijutsu and ninjutsu are inadequate, so he can only rely on the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Forbidden Technique: Celestial Illusion

An invisible kunai, formed from spiritual energy, attacked the wind-style ninja!

This was just a feint.

It was also a test.

See if the opponent can detect the presence of the mental energy kunai. If not, the next attack will be the opponent's death.

If it can be detected, the goal of disrupting the opponent's strategy can be achieved at the lowest cost.

Compared to the former, Uchiha Miyuki felt that the latter was more likely. After all, a forbidden technique had already been exposed this afternoon. Not to mention special Jonin, even ordinary Genin would definitely gather together to analyze the information in this situation. Unless these ninjas didn't want to live anymore, they would ignore the information they had!

An ordinary person might make such a basic mistake, but a ninja cannot—

Because if a mistake is made during the mission, it could very well cost you and your teammates your lives.

63. The path of heroes is made up of corpses!

Through trials of life and death, ninjas develop instincts akin to those of wild beasts.

Do not!

Precisely--

Those who cannot cultivate this keen intuition have already died on the path of growth.

Danger!

The wind-style ninja sensed danger with his keen intuition. Although he couldn't see anything, he followed his instincts and used the Substitution Jutsu to quickly move to the side.

The Substitution Technique is not a space-time ninjutsu.

It's just a burst-type ninjutsu similar to taijutsu that temporarily increases one's speed for dodging. The object left behind doesn't appear out of thin air; it's just releasing the item from the sealing scroll! You can also choose not to leave a substitute in place. The reason for leaving an item behind is to use it to block enemy attacks, so you can assess the enemy's strength from the extent of damage to the substitute, and prevent friendly fire from injuring your teammates.

In addition, the Substitution Technique also has very high tactical value.

For example, you can attach explosive tags to a substitute and ambush the enemy during close combat.

The reason why the Substitution Jutsu was gradually phased out in the original work is because the Substitution Jutsu provides too little improvement to the user. Jonin have too many techniques that surpass the Substitution Jutsu, making it less practical in battle.

The entire process of a Wind Release ninja using the Substitution Technique was observed by the Mangekyou Sharingan—

Uchiha Miyuki could even intercept during this process, but the distance between the two sides is relatively far, which would consume more of his eye power and reduce the hit rate.

Although he didn't continue using forbidden techniques to intercept the enemy, he wasn't idle either. He casually threw out a few shuriken. Several kunai with explosive tags specially made for wind-style ninjas were pinned to the surrounding trees before they even landed. If it weren't for his poor taijutsu and chakra nature transformation, he wouldn't even need to use forbidden techniques. He could have disrupted the enemy's tactical layout with just a few shuriken.

Although the Wind Release ninja doesn't have a Sharingan-like eye technique, he can still determine the exact location of his several explosive tag kunai through other means; otherwise, his tactics would not be able to be implemented.

Sensing the location of his explosive tag kunai, he understood!

I've seen through it!

His proud tactics were seen through by the opponent in an instant.

Cold sweat instantly soaked his clothes, and his psychological pressure increased dramatically at that moment, and this pressure continued to increase as Uchiha Miyuki got closer.

The strength of the strongest genius of the Uchiha clan in this generation completely exceeded his expectations.

He's so strong, he doesn't seem like a typical Jonin at all!

Do not--

Even ordinary Jonin cannot do this.

The Wind Release ninja had fought against a Jonin before, and he used this tactic to force the Jonin to retreat. After that, he further improved his tactics, but even so, Uchiha Miyuki saw through them at a glance. This result was hard for him to accept, and he could not believe that anyone could do it.

After all, that was a tactic he had perfected over many years!

hateful!

Without that strange, intangible secret technique, my tactics certainly wouldn't have been so easily countered—

No matter how unacceptable it may seem, reality is still there and we have no choice but to accept it.

Uchiha Miyuki realized that the Wind Release ninja was panicking, so he immediately condensed a simulated Susanoo, like flames, in his eyes, deliberately enhancing the presence of his eyes in the darkness.

As Uchiha Miyuki approached step by step, the Wind Release ninja subconsciously kept retreating backward. The fear and cowardice rising in his heart made him very angry. He wanted to rush forward to defend his honor, but his feet continued to retreat uncontrollably. His chaotic emotions even made him overlook a very important thing!

Do not make eye contact with Sharingan.

But he was still drawn to the dark golden flames that suddenly reappeared.

Although it was blurry, he could still tell that it was a Sharingan that was different from the three-tomoe Sharingan!

What is this...?

The doubts that had arisen vanished instantly.

A ninja's mistake can cost them their life!

The Wind Release Ninja Transformation perfectly illustrates this profound truth.

Otherwise, given the raw strength of a special Jonin, even if he couldn't defeat him, Uchiha Miyuki wouldn't have been able to capture him.

Genjutsu: Mangekyou Sharingan —

launch!

Welcome to Minecraft!

Uchiha Miyuki's Sharingan genjutsu was already very strong, but now, with the enhancement of the Mangekyou Sharingan, it has reached a whole new level.

The Wind Release ninja is already immersed in the genjutsu world he controls!

Uchiha Miyuki did not rush to make a move and maintained the current situation, waiting for the support of the other Sunagakure ninjas. With such a big commotion at the scene, it was impossible for the other Sunagakure ninjas not to notice, and it was very likely that the other Sunagakure ninjas were already very close. If he did not make some arrangements, he would not be able to leave.
