The Great Hero Uchiha

Upon hearing these words, Uchiha Miyuki remembered that Inuzuka Ai was among the top students at the Ninja Academy, and was the strongest genius girl among the new generation of the Inuzuka family.

He was already close to Chunin level when he graduated from the Ninja Academy.

Uchiha Miyuki roughly understood why the two sides had different art styles.

Ai Inuzuka was probably assigned to a genius class, the kind where all three members are very strong. Only such teams can survive on the battlefield without too much hardship. Miyuki Uchiha, Asuma, and Kurenai Yuhi were actually close to that class, but Miyuki's physical limitations made things so difficult for him.

The teams that Aburame Momoe and Masami were in before were the regular teams.

Instead of dwelling on the issue, Uchiha Miyuki asked a question.

How are your investigative skills?

"Red Fang has undergone appropriate training."

Uchiha Miyuki nodded.

"I understand in general. Your main missions going forward will focus on reconnaissance, search, and infiltration."

There are more than just killing the enemy in war.

Each team has different abilities, so the types of tasks they receive will naturally be different as well.

The three nodded.

Uchiha Miyuki thought for a moment before speaking, "This time I'm leading you on an infiltration and reconnaissance mission. As long as nothing unexpected happens during the mission, and you don't make any serious mistakes, I won't interfere. Cherish this opportunity, because once the war escalates in the future, I may not have the chance to lead you on another mission."

The three nodded again.

Uchiha Miyuki took out a map and pointed to a location on it.

"This is the objective of this mission. What you need to do is use your reconnaissance abilities to find out how many people are in the camp, as well as the number of Chunin and Jonin."

Ai Inuzuka raised her hand.

"This reconnaissance skill is already beyond the Chunin level, isn't it?"

Uchiha Miyuki patiently explained to Inuzuka Ai, "Momoe has mastered the insect technique, which allows her to sense the scale of an enemy's chakra and roughly determine the enemy's strength. When you begin your reconnaissance, Inuzuka Ai will rely on scent to determine the number of enemies and conduct a rough reconnaissance to guide Momoe in the right direction."

Got it!

From now on, no matter what the circumstances, you must remember that your team is a reconnaissance squad, not a combat squad.

The primary task is to maintain distance from the enemy and ensure that we have an advantage in reconnaissance capabilities.

Yami, your task is to be in charge of medical care; you are the last line of defense for your teammates' lives.

The three nodded solemnly.

Uchiha Miyuki paused for a moment before asking the question.

"If there are no other issues, then let's begin the mission now!"

"Yes."

P.S.: After writing two chapters, I check the monthly votes, swords, and tips. If I have enough, I'll add an extra chapter. If I'm writing smoothly, I'll just find some excuse to add another chapter.

104. The battle has already begun before you even realize it.

All three were Chunin, not Genin fresh out of the Ninja Academy. Although it was their first mission, they cooperated well.

Nothing unexpected happened along the way.

However, the march changed its route several times during the march, clearly to avoid any chance encounters with the enemy.

The closer this action gets to the enemy camp, the more times the direction changes.

We arrived at the downwind side of the enemy camp.

Using the scents carried by the wind to determine the number and location of the enemies, Momoe Aburame then eliminated insects to conduct a detailed reconnaissance.

Inside the camp:

Nine Chunin and one Jonin.

Perimeter patrol:

Six Chunin.

Uchiha Miyuki glanced at the intelligence report and nodded. Overall, it was not much different from the intelligence provided by Kusagakure.

Standing on high ground, the Sharingan swept over the Iwagakure camp and the surrounding terrain.

He quickly processed the intelligence in his mind and formulated a plan to raid the camp the day after tomorrow.

"Okay, go back."

The three nodded.

A group of people stealthily returned to the Kusagakure camp.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Iwagakure never noticed that a Konoha squad had approached them before.

Uchiha Miyuki approached Mimura Yoru.

"I've confirmed the situation, and it's pretty much in line with the intelligence provided by Kusagakure. Speed ​​is of the essence, so we'll launch a surprise attack tonight."

"it is good."

The two of them drafted a preliminary plan.

He returned to his tent alone, tidied up his belongings, and then took out the information about the barrier.

Even with the Dark Travel Technique as a reference, creating a new ninjutsu is not a simple task. One must have a deep understanding of barrier ninjutsu. Just like ninjutsu training, it is not enough to reach the Jonin level in nature transformation to master most ninjutsu. One must also train in the form transformation required for each type of ninjutsu.

He has accumulated three years of experience in genjutsu, and has mastered all the necessary transformation techniques. In terms of ninjutsu, he has mastered the fire-attribute transformation technique "Precise Heating".

To fully unleash one's ninjutsu talent, it's not enough to master just one or two forms; one must master a large number of ninjutsu techniques. Only then can one use different ninjutsu techniques depending on the situation.

In that time, he could elevate illusion magic to another level.

Even though this has significant limitations, it at least allows one to have some self-protection ability when facing veteran powerhouses without using Susanoo.

"Jonin, it's about time."

Uchiha Miyuki immediately put away the sealing scroll, got up and walked out of the tent.

Both Kusagakure and Konoha gathered together.

Up until this point, only Uchiha Miyuki and Mimura Yoru knew the operation plan. Aburame Momoe and the other two could only roughly deduce some information based on the morning's actions. Even the Jonin of Kusagakure did not know where their Konoha support force came from. This was true not only for this camp, but also for other camps along the entire Kusagakure front.

The changes in the war situation in the Land of Rivers have begun to spread to the entire Land of Grass, and Iwagakure will inevitably be caught off guard in the coming period.

Although Asuma is not on the battlefield, his fame will surely resound throughout the entire battlefield of the Land of Grass.

It left a deep impression on the three forces of Iwagakure, Konoha, and Kusagakure.

【The Darkness of the Hidden Sands】

"Begin the operation!"

Uchiha Miyuki was the youngest of the three Jonin, but Mimura Yoruzuki subtly sided with him, so the Kusagakure Jonin could only follow Mimura Yoruzuki's lead.

"Momoe, you guys lead the way."

The three nodded.

With the intelligence gathered in the morning, and with the three of them leading the way, the main force quietly infiltrated the vicinity of the Iwagakure camp. Due to the large number of people, they inevitably had to deal with a few patrolling ninjas along the way.

This is the role of reconnaissance teams on the battlefield.

It wasn't that Iwagakure was negligent; after half a year of fighting, the strength and troop strength of all three sides on the entire Kusagakure battlefield had been thoroughly assessed. In Iwagakure's perception, there was only one Kusagakure force in the nearby camp, and their side held an absolute advantage. Konoha hadn't made any large-scale troop movements in other areas, so how could they have predicted an attack tonight?

Staring down at the Iwagakure ninja who remained oblivious, Uchiha Miyuki whispered a startled command.

"Ninjutsu preparation, Lightning and Water elements, prepare!"

The ninja who mastered these two nature transformations began to rapidly form hand seals.

"The rest of you, prepare explosive tags and kunai."

Uchiha Miyuki took the lead and pulled out explosive tag kunai.

"Ninjutsu, unleash it!"

Various water-style techniques spewed from the ninjas' mouths and rushed towards the camp, but none of them were offensive ninjutsu.

The next moment, the ninjas in the team coordinated and used Lightning Release.

None of the techniques used were high-level ninjutsu, but the sheer number of people involved, combined with the use of water-style techniques, resulted in a significant increase in power. The lightning combined with the water-style techniques spread throughout the entire Iwagakure camp. Except for a few people who reacted quickly enough and used ninjutsu to evade, the vast majority of Iwagakure ninja were hit.

"Explosive tag kunai, fire!"

The explosive tag kunai was then thrown out.

Like bombers, explosions were happening all over the camp.

After a surprise attack, less than a third of the Iwagakure forces remained, and Uchiha Miyuki had no intention of letting them leave.

"Free combat."

Having already secured a significant numerical advantage, there's no need for further detailed arrangements.

Three Jonin, including Uchiha Miyuki, surrounded the enemy Jonin.

The Jonin stared intently at the three of them, but as his gaze swept over Uchiha Miyuki, his black pupils suddenly transformed into Sharingan. The Jonin immediately realized something was wrong, but it was too late. The three tomoe spun rapidly, and he felt a momentary daze. Then he felt as if his hands and feet were nailed to the spot by something, and no matter how much he struggled, he could not break free.

The Sharingan comes with genjutsu, but its current level is too low. Simple hypnosis is unlikely to break through a Jonin's chakra defense in an instant. It requires a longer eye contact to give the enemy more time to react.

Of course, a kaleidoscope is a different case.

therefore--

Uchiha Miyuki then directly used the Sharingan secret technique.

【Magic - The Art of Shackles】

Activated by eye contact with the Sharingan, it deprives the opponent of their freedom of movement as if nails were driven through their limbs.

At the same time, the Futsu-no-Mitama Sword swiftly unleashed a slash.

However, the opponent's body was covered with a layer of earth-colored chakra, which neutralized most of the power of the attack. The Futsu-no-Mitama Sword only slightly grazed the opponent's skin. This was not a ninjutsu, but rather a technique similar to how wind-style nature transformation chakra is attached to ninja tools to increase their power. The Jonin of Iwagakure used this [attachment technique] to build a shield for himself.

Each chakra nature transformation can not only be used to release ninjutsu, but also has the characteristics of nature transformation.

For example, Wind Release can enhance the sharpness of ninja tools, strengthening them to an extreme degree. Fire Release and Lightning Release can achieve similar effects. Earth Release and Water Release, while not enhancing the power of ninja tools, can be used to create a shield for oneself, blocking enemy attacks.
