The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

"Hehe, Captain Liang is really something. After discovering the trail of this Konoha ninja, he set up this trap."

"Haha, this time we managed to take down three Konoha ninjas in one go! Lord Hanzo's reward should be quite substantial."

In a relatively open plain, Sarutobi Saku was surrounded by seven Rain Ninja dressed in Chunin uniforms.

Upon hearing the words of the Rain Ninja, Saku Sarutobi's heart sank.

"We were careless. Are they trying to wipe us all out in one fell swoop?"

Damn it, I shouldn't have let Qing and the others come.

No matter how frustrated Sarutobi Saku was, it was too late. Surrounded by six Chunin, he had virtually no time to send messages. Otherwise, if the enemy seized an opportunity, he would die even faster.

Under Captain Ryo's orders, the six Rain Ninja began their attack on Sarutobi Saku.

Even against six opponents, Sarutobi Saku was struggling and found himself in a flurry of activity.

The Rain Ninja on the other side seemed to be waiting for Sarutobi Saku's companions to arrive, and had not used their full strength, as if they were toying with Sarutobi Saku.

"Damn it, these bastards! If there weren't so many of them, we would have taken care of them already."

Faced with the humiliating mockery of the Rain Ninja, Sarutobi Saku was also furious. Unfortunately, even though the Rain Ninja were not using their full strength, he was already struggling to cope with six opponents at once.

"Captain Liang, this Konoha ninja is pretty strong. He managed to hold on against the combined attack of the six of us. Looks like we've caught a big fish this time. Hahaha."

Captain Liang also recognized Sarutobi Saku's strength. One against six, even without his subordinates using their full strength, was not something an ordinary person could handle. However, this Konoha ninja was only struggling and had not yet suffered any serious injuries.

"Don't be careless. If the opponent is so tough, his teammates must be just as tough."

"While those two haven't arrived yet, and we're alone now, let's finish him off quickly."

Upon hearing the captain's order, the six Rain Ninjas also began to take things seriously.

Sarutobi Saku found it increasingly difficult to cope, and wounds began to appear on his body.

Chapter Fifty-Nine: A Battle to the Death

Upon receiving news from Sarutobi Saku, Uchiha Kiyoshi rushed towards Sarutobi Saku's location with all his might.

"After all this time, Sarutobi Saku's position has basically remained unchanged."

I warned them before not to get entangled, and Sarutobi Saku isn't the kind of person who acts tough.

That means there might be quite a few enemies surrounding him.

This means that Saku Sarutobi was still able to send messages, which means the other party was fishing?

As they traveled, Uchiha Kiyoshi was also analyzing the situation.

"This is interesting. Are they trying to wipe us all out?"

Uchiha Kiyoshi narrowed his eyes, his gaze gradually turning cold.

"Trying to fish? Hmph! If you piss me off, I'll unleash my full power and kill even a special Jonin!"

Uchiha Kiyoshi was also annoyed; he didn't want too much conflict to break out here. But Sarutobi Saku was surrounded, and he'd been baited—how could he tolerate this?

Uchiha Kiyoshi's claim of killing a Special Jonin was no joke. Even without teammates' help, he could kill a Special Jonin single-handedly without sustaining serious injury.

That's how confident and self-assured he is! Over the years, Uchiha Kiyoshi has had his trump cards, but in his opinion, it's best not to reveal them.

"Shuki probably doesn't know the situation yet."

Just a heads-up, don't walk right into their trap.

Without hesitation, Uchiha Kiyoshi formed hand seals, summoned another small snake, explained the situation to him, and then activated the summoning jutsu.

After doing all this, Uchiha Kiyoshi looked in the direction of Sarutobi Saku and began to think about the next tactics.

The current situation no longer allows them to simply run away; they have no choice but to go to war with the other side.

However, Uchiha Kiyoshi still doesn't know how many people the other side has or how strong they are.

"If possible, try not to expose too much. Use the Substitute Body Technique once or twice. In a chaotic battle, no one should notice."

If the enemy is too strong, and there are Jonin present, then we have no choice but to go all out and survive first.

Uchiha Kiyoshi was also having a bit of a headache. The information from Sarutobi Saku didn't explain the enemy's strength, so he couldn't even refine his plan and could only take it one step at a time.

Uchiha Kiyoshi had been training his body for over two years, making him stronger than most Jonin. Traveling at full speed, he arrived at the plains where Sarutobi Saku was ambushed in just half an hour.

Uchiha Kiyoshi did not reveal himself directly, but concealed his aura and stopped about one kilometer away from Sarutobi Saku.

Saku Sarutobi had been fighting Amegakure for half an hour and was seriously injured.

Their battlefield was not always in the same place; the place where Uchiha Kiyoshi was at this moment was the place where they had fought.

Carefully sensing the chakra aura around him, and taking in the damaged terrain, Uchiha Kiyoshi was assessing the enemy's situation.

"There are about six people. Based on the damage caused on the battlefield, even the weakest of them should have Chunin-level combat strength. The stronger ones might even be veteran elite Chunin."

There was another aura, but it could only be vaguely sensed; it probably hadn't made a move yet.

This is troublesome.

Six Chunin, most likely all of whom are elite Chunin, plus one who didn't make a move but is likely a special Jonin, or even a strong Jonin.

Uchiha Kiyoshi also felt the pressure.

"It absolutely must not be a Jonin, otherwise even if I go all out, I might have to pay a price to kill him."

That's right, Uchiha Kiyoshi's goal was to kill.

The current situation is that they have been targeted by the Rain Ninja. In order to prevent the enemy from having reinforcements, Uchiha Kiyoshi has no choice but to finish the battle quickly and then run away with Sarutobi Saku.

If you don't kill the opponent, even running away will be troublesome.

Time was of the essence, and Uchiha Kiyoshi did not waste any more time. Concealing his chakra aura, he carefully crept over.

Approaching the battlefield of Sarutobi Saku, Uchiha Kiyoshi finally saw the details of the battle. It seemed that Sarutobi Saku was in a very bad situation and could not wait any longer.

Uchiha Kiyoshi formed hand seals, his entire being seemingly merging with the earth.

A small mound of earth began to move toward the site. The mound was inconspicuous and could not be noticed unless one looked closely.

This is an earth-based technique that Uchiha Kiyoshi developed himself for surprise attacks and escapes.

Uchiha Kiyoshi hasn't started training in this aspect of nature transformation yet, so he can only use it at this level. As he trains more deeply in the future, Uchiha Kiyoshi's ninjutsu will become more concealed.

Uchiha Kiyoshi unleashed the Earth Movement Technique to its fullest extent, rapidly advancing towards one of the Rain Ninja who were besieging Sarutobi Saku.

In just two seconds, Uchiha Kiyoshi traversed a distance of more than twenty meters and arrived beside the Rain Ninja.

The sudden appearance of Uchiha Kiyoshi surprised everyone.

Uchiha Kiyoshi seized the opportunity, took out two kunai, one large and one small, and shot the smaller kunai with his left hand toward the nearest Rain Ninja, while holding the other kunai in his right hand, he thrust it toward the Rain Ninja in front of him.

Uchiha Kiyoshi's appearance was so sudden that no one had time to react, especially the person in front of him. He couldn't react at all and had his throat cut off by Uchiha Kiyoshi's attack. His eyes widened as he fell to the ground unwillingly.

The other Rain Ninja reacted quickly and made a timely response.

The kunai, which was originally heading towards the heart, deviated slightly and did not pierce the heart directly.

Although he was lucky enough to survive, the Rain Ninja was also seriously injured and on the verge of death.

How strong was Uchiha Kiyoshi's grip? Even if it didn't hit the heart directly, the kunai still pierced most of the Rain Ninja's body.

Without timely medical treatment from a ninja, this Rain Ninja would have been doomed.

"Saku Sarutobi!"

Uchiha Kiyoshi shouted, waking up the still somewhat dazed Sarutobi Saku, and formed hand seals.

Just one stamp!

The Rain Ninja in front of Sarutobi Saku was grabbed by something and dragged to the ground.

Sarutobi Saku seized the opportunity and swung his sword to cut off the opponent's head.

Thus, just two seconds after Uchiha Kiyoshi appeared, two elite Chunin from Rain Village were killed, and another was rendered unable to fight.

Saku Sarutobi's pressure has also been greatly reduced.

"Fortunately, there are only three left. With Rope Tree coming over later, we should still be able to win."

Seemingly sensing Sarutobi Saku's thoughts, Uchiha Kiyoshi immediately poured cold water on him.

"What are you thinking? This is the Land of Rain. We need to leave quickly, otherwise when their reinforcements arrive, it will be too late for us to leave."

Saku Sarutobi had just been engaged in a fierce battle and his mind hadn't quite caught up yet. It was only when Seiichi Uchiha reminded him that he remembered he was still in the Land of Rain!

Immediately afterward, Sarutobi Saku also showed a hint of apology.

"I'm sorry to have dragged you into this."

"It's okay, this is a trap set by the other side. Even if you didn't send us a message, they might still have ways to find us."

Moreover, when that time comes, each of us will have to face them individually, which will be even more difficult.

"At least now the three of us can work together."

Without saying much, Uchiha Kiyoshi and Sarutobi Saku focused their attention, wary of the remaining Rain Ninja.

Although Nawaki's speed is not as fast as Uchiha Kiyoshi's, he should have arrived at the battlefield by now.

Uchiha Kiyoshi was impressed by Nawaki's ability to hide; this guy had actually learned how to conceal himself.

It seems that to end this quickly, we need to create opportunities for Nawaki. With Nawaki's chakra reserves, if we seize the opportunity to unleash a devastating ninjutsu, even the Jonin on the other side will not be able to withstand it.

That's right, Captain Liang is a Jonin. Although he was just promoted and his title is somewhat questionable compared to the Jonin of Konoha and other ninja villages, he is still a genuine Jonin and his strength is a bit stronger than that of a Special Jonin.

Having determined that his opponent was a Jonin, Uchiha Kiyoshi prepared for a fight to the death.

Within a minute, the opponent will either be dead or severely injured. Otherwise, even if they escape, it will be difficult to hide if they are pursued by a Jonin.

Liang is in a bad mood. He thought he had everything under control, but Uchiha Kiyoshi suddenly appeared and took away three of his subordinates.

This was his team built up over many years, and losing three elite Chunin at once was heartbreaking.

Now, Liang was no longer going to watch the show; he planned to take matters into his own hands and kill this wretched brat.

"Saku Sarutobi, I'll take care of the Jonin. You hold off the other three."

Upon hearing Uchiha Kiyoshi's words, Ryo was so angry that he laughed instead.

"Hahaha, good! Good! A little brat, so arrogant, are you looking down on me? Today I'll let you experience the methods of a Jonin."
