The Great Hero Uchiha

69. Wherever leaves flutter, fire will burn.

It's not that anything has changed, nor is it an attempt to turn a previous slip of the tongue into reality.

But -

Time to get to work!

The injuries on my body don't have a big impact on the battle. As long as I don't abuse the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan and use it beyond what I can normally handle, there won't be any problems. As for the two days I've been resting... I was just tired and wanted to rest for a while longer, which is why I kept delaying it. I also needed to analyze the current situation and figure out what I needed to do.

Uchiha Miyuki did not bring Aburame Momoe and Masami with him.

This mission was to inform the Sand Village's special Jonin unit that they were still operating in this area! The difficulty of the mission had exceeded the limits that Chunin could handle.

There is a good example in the original work.

The three: Obito Uchiha, Kakashi, and Rin Haruno.

Kakashi's strength raised the team's overall strength rating, and with Minato Namikaze leading the team, they were assigned high-difficulty missions that went beyond the scope of Chunin missions. Furthermore, Kakashi was still grieving over his father's death and felt lost because of it, while Minato Namikaze was too preoccupied with the war to attend to these matters.

With so many problems within the team, how could there not be any?!

Upon arriving outside the camp, he quickly formed hand seals.

[Spiritual Communication]

A three-meter-tall eagle appeared before Uchiha Miyuki, who couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Surprisingly—

It's not a ninja crow.

In order to better control the eagle, he immediately infused some of his eye power into its eyes, using the Sharingan as a medium to strengthen the connection between them.

Riding the eagle, they flew towards the gathering point of Konoha's special Jonin, while also quickly gathering information about the eagle.

Chunin level Fire Release Chakra Nature Transformation.

His chakra level is close to that of a special Jonin.

Although ninja beasts have certain limitations in battle, they can be overcome if the right method is found.

After learning about the eagle, Uchiha Miyuki began practicing hand seals.

I have been seriously neglecting my ninjutsu training for a long time, and my hand seal speed is still at the level when I first graduated from the ninja academy. No, I have already forgotten some of it. Fortunately, hand seals do not require much talent. It mainly depends on practice. Although last-minute cramming is a bit childish, that's how hand seal training is. It is accumulated little by little through daily practice.

What used to take half a day to get there, now only took an hour.

To prevent any accidents, he put away his ninja beasts when he was still some distance from the gathering point and walked there alone.

"who?"

"Chunin, Uchiha Miyuki."

"Awaken your Sharingan"

Transformation Jutsu can change a person's appearance, and can even imitate the appearance of a bloodline limit.

Even the most perfect transformation has its flaws.

As for whether or not they can find this flaw, ninjas who do not possess eye techniques can only rely on their own experience to make a judgment.

After observing for a while, the special jonin lowered his guard, and the other Konoha ninjas hiding nearby also emerged from the shadows.

Although Uchiha Miyuki anticipated the presence of other special Jonin in the vicinity, he was unable to locate their hiding places. After all, the Sharingan's dynamic vision did not possess the Rinnegan's X-ray vision, making it difficult to find special Jonin who had hidden themselves in advance... no! Even Chunin would be quite challenging.

The reason why the hiding place of the Special Jonin of Sunagakure was discovered so quickly last time was because it was a trap specially set up by the Special Jonin.

The team leader spoke up at this moment.

"The gathering point of the special Jonin of Sunagakure has been identified. Our goal this time is to ambush the night patrol personnel. We don't need to kill them intentionally. We just need to let them know that Uchiha Miyuki is involved in this operation. Of course, if there is an opportunity, we should kill them—" The operation leader looked at Uchiha Miyuki at this point.

The last sentence was clearly a supplement to Uchiha Miyuki's statement.

It wasn't that Uchiha Miyuki was strong, but rather that the enemy had the least amount of relevant information!

Intelligence is the key to determining the outcome between special jonin.

If both sides have detailed information about each other, they can make corresponding preparations in advance.

Before Uchiha Miyuki could say anything, the action team leader handed him a file folder and explained, "These are the profiles of the enemy ninjas whose physiques have been confirmed for this mission. Familiarize yourself with them first, and then we'll begin the operation."

After a pause, the action leader added a sentence.

"Take some time to learn more about the special Jonin and Jonin of Sunagakure. You never know when you might need to use it."

Uchiha Miyuki nodded and used his Sharingan to quickly flip through the documents in the folder.

It contains detailed information about the special Jonin of Sunagakure.

The characteristics of ninjutsu, tactical features, skillful use of ninja tools, and various traps that the puppets may set up.

They even prepared a specific antidote inside!

Although every ninja is constantly innovating and enhancing their strength to render the enemy's existing intelligence ineffective, even so, it still takes time. Moreover, many things cannot be changed overnight. For example, Uchiha Miyuki's current specialty is the Sharingan genjutsu, which is the foundation of his strength. No matter how he changes it, he cannot change the fact that the Sharingan genjutsu requires eye contact to activate.

With the Sharingan and Chang Chao's enhanced mental power, he memorized all the information about these dozen or so special Jonin in just a few minutes.

"I have memorized it all."

The action team leader nodded, and then spoke up to offer a reminder.

"Remember, these are just intelligence reports and can be used as a reference. You must not let them affect your judgment. The enemy will not follow the reports exactly as they are presented. They may develop countermeasures based on the intelligence you leak. When you think you have grasped the enemy's weakness, you may have already fallen into their trap!"

Intelligence only lets you understand the enemy's characteristics.

In combat, the most important thing is to rely on one's own judgment and tactical deployment.

Do you understand?

Uchiha Miyuki understood everything the other party was saying, and he wouldn't have made such a mistake even without being reminded, since his battles had always been based on various tactics.

However, how could he possibly refuse such a kind reminder?

No matter what, I was once a normal person, and I still understand the principles of being a good person.

"Understood! Captain, thank you for reminding me."

"I was just fulfilling my duty as captain, doing my best to bring my teammates back alive and prevent them from dying easily at the hands of the enemy."

Uchiha Miyuki nodded.

The Will of Fire did indeed circulate in Konoha, but... Hatake Sakumo died bearing the infamy because of it.

It's such a contradiction.

Although Hatake Sakumo's death has been covered up, how can you hide the truth forever?

This matter will eventually spread throughout Konoha.

When that time comes... what thoughts will arise in a ninja like this special Jonin who has been influenced by the Will of Fire? Will he doubt the Will of Fire that he believes in?

That was the foundation upon which the village was built.

70. The world is never as one-sided as one person's perception.

Wherever leaves flutter, fire will burn.

The fire's shadow will illuminate the village and cause new leaves to sprout.

A ninja's true power is revealed when they want to protect those they cherish...

At that moment, a sentence flashed through his mind, and Uchiha Miyuki suddenly felt like laughing.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Danzo, the true inheritors of the Will of Fire, forced a ninja who embodied the Will of Fire to his death for their own interests. Meanwhile, Obito Uchiha, a member of the Uchiha clan, uttered profound words that embodied the Will of Fire: "Those who break the rules of the ninja world are called trash... But those who do not value their comrades are even worse than trash."

Aside from Obito Uchiha's words, Shisui and Itachi basically died because they upheld this philosophy, simply because they were Uchiha.

This situation is so funny it's hard not to laugh.

Besides wanting to laugh, he also sensed an opportunity hidden within.

Could this be an opportunity to pull the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, off his seat?

They immediately rejected it.

Ultimately, Hatake Sakumo's death was suicide, and the blame should be placed on his companions.

Although someone must have been behind this, this alone is not enough to implicate the village. However, as long as the death of Hatake Sakumo causes a stir in the village, and we find a way to pin the blame on Danzo, the Uchiha clan controls the police department! It's not difficult to frame... no! It's not hard to find some evidence and gain the public's trust.

Without the Nine-Tails' attack, wouldn't it be absurd that the Uchiha clan, one of the top clans in the village, wouldn't have a certain level of prestige?

As long as everyone in the village focuses their attention on Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo will inevitably be punished. He will no longer be able to assassinate the Third Hokage and conduct human experiments without any consequences, as he did in the original story.

Although this offensive could not kill Danzo, it could disqualify him from running for Hokage.

How can the people allow someone who has defied the Will of Fire to become Hokage?!

only……

This kind of offensive, which cannot kill Danzo, is completely meaningless and will only bring more danger.

That's a poor choice.

At that moment, Uchiha Miyuki recalled the nonsense that Uchiha Hatake had said about protecting the clan.

It remains impossible to verify whether those words are true or simply Uchiha Hatake's subjective conclusions based on his limited understanding of the world. After all, humans only believe what they want to believe and perceive the world through their own subjective consciousness.

Just as Uchiha Miyuki believed that hatred fueled the repeated outbreaks of the Fourth Shinobi World War, is that really the case?

These are merely answers he arrives at based on his own subjective perception of what he has seen through his own eyes.

The world is never as one-sided as one person perceives it, and everyone has a different perspective on the world.

Uchiha Miyuki pulled his chaotic and wandering thoughts back to normal.

Regardless of whether those words were right or wrong, the Uchiha can certainly seize this opportunity to establish their persona!

Protecting the clan...

Pooh!

He is the inheritor of the Will of Fire.

This is intended to resonate with ninjas who are confused by the Hatake Sakumo incident! By drawing those who originally belonged to the Senju faction to the Uchiha camp, and by maintaining this persona, people's old perceptions of the Uchiha clan can be subtly changed, and... indirectly increase the probability of Uchiha clan members awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan.

So many Uchiha clan members have experienced life and death, why are there only a handful who awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan?
