The Great Hero Uchiha

Everyone stood there stunned for a moment before they came to their senses.

The gaze directed at Uchiha Miyuki was no longer one of worship, but of respect.

"Yes, my lord."

This address of "Master" was not because Uchiha Miyuki was a special Jonin, but a heartfelt respect, and no longer simply an admiration for Uchiha Miyuki's strength.

Uchiha Miyuki couldn't understand why this change had occurred. He had simply followed the Will of Fire and said something that resonated with it.

However, he was unaware that his understanding of the Will of Fire was not the mainstream concept of the Will of Fire in this era.

Several communication insects landed in Uchiha Miyuki's hair. If the insects died, it would mean that this temporary gathering point had been attacked by the enemy.

Based on the commotion coming from afar, Uchiha Miyuki rushed deeper into the battlefield.

That's the area where special Jonin and Jonin fight!

This is also the key to this war.

On the road, they encountered a wounded and isolated Konoha team. Uchiha Miyuki immediately stopped, not immediately believing their identities based on their clothing.

"Code name".

The Chunin team recognized Uchiha Miyuki and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, quickly stating their operation codename.

"will."

Having identified the operation's code name, Uchiha Miyuki nodded, indicating the direction to the team.

"Don't try to get any closer to the center. There's a temporary medical point over there. Go there for treatment, and the people there will tell you what to do next."

"Yes."

The Chunin squad nodded in agreement.

On the way, Uchiha Miyuki saw some corpses of Sand Ninja and some corpses of Konoha Ninja.

They left an insect in place to mark the Konoha ninja's corpse.

Only then did they rush back to the special jonin's battle zone.

Unlike the team battles of the Chunin squads, the special Jonin team emphasizes overall coordination and maneuvering to gradually erode the opponent. Konoha had the advantage with the special Jonin team, and with the support of the Chunin, the balance of power naturally tilted completely in Konoha's favor. Uchiha Miyuki frowned slightly.

He did not directly join the main battlefield of the special Jonin, but instead intervened in the command of the Chunin.

This level of combat.

Chunin are not useless; on the contrary, they are very useful. However, this usefulness often leads to injuries or deaths among Chunin.

It's not a show, nor is it about being a saint.

It's just that I feel it's not worth the risk. The current situation is not yet settled, so putting Chunin in danger is just a waste of our own manpower. This manpower should be used in more critical situations, such as when there are major changes on the battlefield, or when the enemy has new reinforcements. Only when there are no other options should Chunin be involved to contribute their strength.

Most importantly—

The greater Konoha's advantage, the safer he will be in the Third Shinobi World War.

Uchiha Miyuki did not make a move, nor did he deliberately hide himself, which made everyone present notice his arrival.

The battlefield on the side of the special Jonin instantly fell silent.

Despite being surrounded by fifteen special jonin and supported by chunin, the Sand Village's special jonin still did not believe they would be defeated. After all, there was a difference in strength among the special jonin. The fact that they were able to come here to guard the rear of Konoha showed that they were the elite of the Sand Village's special jonin, and the same was true for the jonin.

The Konoha clan, however, is more mixed.

When Sanwu, a Jonin, appeared nearby, they did not panic.

Although Sunagakure had fewer people on the Jonin battlefield, they held a certain advantage in strength. All three of their Jonin were close to elite Jonin in strength, veteran strongmen from Sunagakure. On the other hand, Konoha only had one Jonin of similar strength, while the other three were new generation Jonin who had been promoted in the last two years. Only by including Jonin Sango could the situation on the other side be even.

If the special jonin can break through the stalemate and send reinforcements, there is still hope of winning this war.

But it wasn't until Uchiha Miyuki appeared that the Sand Village's special Jonin began to panic completely.

The feat of single-handedly killing twelve special Jonin is definitely at the Jonin level.

But what's truly absurd is this terrifying combat power.

It's astonishing that he's only just been promoted to Special Jonin, and even when he accomplished the terrifying feat of killing twelve Special Jonin, he had only been promoted to Chunin for less than half a year.

Otherwise, Sunagakure wouldn't have only sent a special Jonin to kill Uchiha Miyuki.

This situation is precisely what has led to the current situation.

Therefore, every single one of the Sand Village's special Jonin present hated Sarutobi Asuma, this Konoha parasite, the most.

Originally, when they heard that the Third Hokage's son was cowardly, they all took it as a joke and even used it to mock Konoha's opponents. Little did they know that this joke would plant a huge time bomb for their Sand Village, indirectly leading to the deaths of fourteen special Jonin and the defeat in this war.

The Sharingan with its three tomoe swept over everyone, finally settling on several Chunin teams.

"You're not needed here anymore. Take the wounded to the temporary medical point over there for treatment. The people there will inform you of the follow-up operations."

From the previous Chunin teams, Uchiha Miyuki realized that he had already gained considerable prestige in the camp and knew that no one would object to his command. That's why he spoke up to interfere with the on-site command. Otherwise, he certainly wouldn't have said such a thing. Losing face was a small matter; the main concern was that it could easily offend some people.

The Chunin squad recognized Uchiha Miyuki's identity and immediately nodded.

"Yes."

After watching several Chunin squads carry the wounded to the temporary medical point, he finally refocused his attention on the battlefield.

"Where is Jonin Sango?"

"They went to support the Jonin."

Uchiha Miyuki nodded, already guessing Sango's thoughts.

1. He was handed over the battlefield to the special Jonin.

2. The intention is to capture all the enemy Jonin as well.

"I see... Then let's end this battle quickly so we can all go and support them, and leave those three Jonin behind as well."

As soon as Uchiha Miyuki finished speaking, he vanished from the spot, only to reappear as—

Three people!

Logically speaking, given Uchiha Miyuki's current enhanced mental strength, his clones should be indistinguishable from the real thing. Even Jonin would have difficulty distinguishing them apart from those with eye techniques. However, this time, the clones had a very large flaw. The eyes were not Sharingan eyes, but ordinary eyes. This was not a mistake, but rather a way to guide the enemy to distinguish the clones from the real body by looking at the eyes.

P.S.: I glanced at the votes and the number of criticisms; theoretically, that's enough for an extra chapter.

I'll at least finish at 3 AM today.

91. No ninjutsu is so limited; it is imagination that limits ninjutsu.

Even if they sensed something was amiss, they couldn't immediately tell whether Uchiha Miyuki's true form was actually there.

At that moment, a dark barrier enveloped the four Sand Village Special Jonin.

The world has lost its original colors, stripped away with only endless darkness that gathers in our eyes and gathers in our hearts, awakening humanity's desire for light and fear of darkness—in this dark world, like a black silk ribbon, even the most powerful cannot maintain absolute rationality.

[Illusion Technique: Dark Travel Technique]

This was originally a ninjutsu developed by Tobirama specifically for the Sharingan.

But now it has become—

The power of the Sharingan.

No ninjutsu is so limited; it is imagination that limits ninjutsu.

A faint light appeared in the darkness, illuminating the eyes of the Sand Village's special Jonin. Knowing it was likely an enemy trap, but the unsealing technique couldn't dispel the darkness in their eyes, they had to find another way. In the end, one of the special Jonin couldn't resist and his gaze converged on the area of ​​light. It wasn't sunlight shining in; it was light converging on his Sharingan.

[Illusion·Shiranui]

The ninja immediately felt a beam of light fall upon him.

Instead of the expected warmth, there was only the burning pain of flames; my body had spontaneously combusted without me knowing when or why.

Illusion!

It was all just an illusion—

But some things, even if you know they're fake, you can't get rid of them.

Under the manipulation of illusion, his consciousness is irrelevant; as long as his brain continues to believe, the pain will not disappear.

The agonizing screams from the burning flames disturbed the minds of the Sand Village ninjas, preventing the others from turning their gaze to the only glimmer of light in this dark world.

This also concealed Uchiha Miyuki's whereabouts.

[Fire Release Chakra Mode - Activated]

It's difficult for a Chunin-level or higher taijutsu to kill a special Jonin silently, unless combined with the power of Susanoo. However, as stated in the previous mission briefing, that's a forbidden technique. If it could be frequently used in regular battles, could it still be called a forbidden technique? Not everyone can normalize the use of forbidden techniques like the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Having had their sight taken away by the Dark Travel Technique, they naturally couldn't perceive the colors brought about by the Chakra Mode.

The only noticeable change was that the surrounding temperature had risen slightly.

This made the already tense Sand Ninja even more nervous, but there was nothing they could do. The [Unseal] technique couldn't dispel the genjutsu, so all they could do now was not to act rashly and to fight Uchiha Miyuki using their other senses.

[Ninjutsu Technique: Body Flicker Technique]

Compared to the Substitution Jutsu, the Body Flicker Jutsu is much faster. Uchiha Miyuki's body vanished from the spot like a gust of wind, and the next time he appeared next to a special Jonin. Instead of choosing to flank and ambush from behind, he launched a frontal attack. The Sand Village felt a wave of heat coming towards them and subconsciously took it as a Fire Release technique released by Uchiha Miyuki.

Because he was constantly watching out of the corner of his eye, the movement of the faint light made him think that Uchiha Miyuki was still far away from him.

Little did they expect that this was just a feint.

Even the drawback of the abnormal increase in body temperature caused by fire-style chakra was taken into account when strategizing. This is the reason for choosing a frontal assault, which is to guide the opponent to associate it with fire-style chakra.

There are too many trees on the left, making it difficult to dodge; the right side, towards the rear, is more open...

Unable to see the surrounding environment clearly, they can only rely on memory to dodge.

Uchiha Miyuki saw all of this and slashed down with his Futsu-no-Mitama Sword in the direction the opponent was dodging.

Not knowing anything about swordsmanship was not important to Uchiha Miyuki!

As long as the enemy doesn't realize they're being approached, they won't be on guard. Combined with the Sharingan's powerful dynamic vision, it's possible to anticipate the opponent's next move, as well as the sturdiness and sharpness of the Futsu-no-Mitama sword itself. There's no need to consider the strength of the ninja tool; in this situation, simply knowing how to wield the sword is enough.

It sliced ​​through the opponent's body at the waist, and even the cervical spine couldn't withstand the sharpness of the Futsu-no-Mitama sword.

It was only at this point that the special Jonin realized he had misjudged the situation!

But I still don't understand what's going on.

Not finishing off the enemy cleanly with a single strike, Uchiha Miyuki retaliated with another slash, swiftly and decisively ending the enemy's last breath.
