The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

Let's clean up the battlefield while we're at it.

To make sure the news that he was 'dead' was true.

Uchiha Kiyoshi gave himself a thumbs up for his cleverness.

Meanwhile, Hatake Sakumo also successfully located another group of Konoha ninjas in need of rescue and dealt with the Sand Ninjas who were besieging them.

There are ninjas from the Ino-Shika-Cho triad, the Inuzuka clan, and even a branch family member of the Hyuga clan.

Sakumo Hatake also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although these ninjas are not the most outstanding geniuses of their respective clans, they are still quite talented and are all capable of becoming pillars of their clans in the future. If they were to perish here, their sins would be immense.

The Konoha ninjas here aren't here to destroy supplies; it's simply a large-scale team mission with generous rewards, which is why these clan ninjas were specially selected.

Unfortunately, someone leaked their whereabouts, and they were besieged by the Sand Village ninjas.

Just as Hatake Sakumo breathed a sigh of relief, a large number of Sand Ninja suddenly appeared from all directions, making his scalp tingle.

There are even more here than on Uchiha Kiyoshi's side.

Ultimately, Hatake Sakumo's ability to counter puppeteers was the strongest, and Sunagakure's pursuit of him was naturally the most intense.

Hundreds of Sand Ninja surrounded the Konoha ninja present.

"White Fang of the Leaf".

We finally met.

"You've killed far too many puppeteers in Sunagakure, causing immense losses to the village. Since we've met here today, you may stay."

The leader of the Sand Village was a male and a female ninja. The female ninja spoke to Sakumo Hatake.

Sakumo Hatake remained silent, his eyes slightly narrowed as he observed the surrounding situation.

I didn't pay too much attention to what the other person said.

As Qing once said, villains die from talking too much; it's best not to get distracted during a fight.

That makes a lot of sense.

"You all gather in one direction and break through, I'll cover the rear."

Ignoring the resentment of these family geniuses, Hatake Sakumo succinctly stated his arrangements for them.

The war is about to start.

The Beginning of Separation

Chapter 122 Feigning Death, Escaping

Sakumo Hatake's battles had only one characteristic.

That was the dazzling white light emanating from the chakra blade in his hand.

A flash of white light often means that an enemy has lost their life.

On the battlefield at this moment, flashes of white light appeared frequently, and one by one, the Sand Ninja lost their lives.

Even Qianxiu and his wife looked extremely solemn at this moment.

"Is this the White Fang of Konoha?"

They were both surprised by the other party's assassination skills and shocked by the other party's terrifying lethality.

Who is Sakumo Hatake?

The former head of Konoha's Anbu!

Their specialty is assassination.

He is a master of various assassination techniques, including surprise attacks, stealth, and sudden bursts of attacks.

His swordsmanship was exceptional.

Throughout the entire ninja world, Sakumo Hatake's swordsmanship was among the best.

Just one step away from entering the Kage-level ranks, Hatake Sakumo's swordsmanship will be no weaker than that of the demigod Hanzo!

It's easy to imagine how terrifying Hatake Sakumo's swordsmanship was.

Furthermore, the White Fang Blade in his hand is infused with chakra metal, allowing chakra to be attached to it, making Hatake Sakumo's destructive power even more terrifying when he wields it.

......

In the midst of a sea of ​​fire.

Using the Body Flicker Technique and Propulsion Technique, Uchiha Kiyoshi rapidly approached Tetsuya, a clay spear appearing in his hand.

Sweep.

Since it is a clone, or rather a shadow clone, it does not possess the physical strength of the original body. "Uchiha Kiyoshi's" strength is no different from that of an ordinary ninja.

But the opponent is "Tetsuya".

own people.

At this moment, Tetsuya would not let Uchiha Kiyoshi give himself away. He used his sword to parry and was swept away by a spear.

Uchiha Kiyoshi mentally gave a thumbs-up to the other shadow clone within the clone in front of him.

They continued their relentless pursuit, finally managing to take down "Tetsuya" alone.

Avoiding the other Sand Ninja, "Uchiha Kiyoshi" relentlessly pursued "Tetsuya".

Downward slash, straight thrust...

Using all his close-combat skills, Tetsuya struggled to defend himself.

The sea of ​​fire began to dissipate at this time.

Uchiha Kiyoshi understood that enough time had been spent, and it was time to end it.

He didn't have enough chakra to create another firestorm of that size.

He instantly appeared in front of "Tetsuya" and, under the shocked and angry gazes of the other Sand Ninja, thrust his spear into the other's heart.

Tetsuya realized he couldn't escape, grabbed the dagger to restrict Kiyoshi Uchiha's movements, and then controlled the puppet to slash the other's eyes with a sword.

No one noticed that at this moment, "Uchiha Kiyoshi" had become a different person. More accurately, the original "Uchiha Kiyoshi" had dissipated, and another body instantly appeared, with a figure and outline that were not much different from "Uchiha Kiyoshi".

Then, violent energy fluctuations occurred inside the puppet.

"not good!"

The other Sand Ninja's pupils contracted violently, and their voices cracked in panic.

This is a supply depot.

It contains a large number of detonating tags.

Why are you exposing yourself here?

One wrong move and this whole place explodes!

Fortunately, the probability should be low.

The same thought simultaneously crossed the minds of the Sand Village Jonin.

Indeed, the supply station's detonation tags are well protected; unless deliberately guided, the chances of them being detonated are not high.

Unfortunately, what they didn't know was that "Tetsuya" was consciously guiding the trend of the explosion.

The previous clash between the two was not just a prelude, but more importantly, it allowed "Tetsuya" to find the location of the detonation tag.

This position is pretty good; the explosive tags inside the "Tetsuya" puppet are powerful enough to detonate the explosive tags at the supply depot.

The explosive tags inside the puppet weren't given to it by Uchiha Kiyoshi himself, but were already there, perhaps intended for mutual destruction.

The ten puppets rushed towards the two almost simultaneously, and the violent energy fluctuations inside them were terrifying.

Ten puppets, and elite Jonin-level puppets at that, were all used to self-destruct, which even Uchiha Kiyoshi found incredibly painful.

Puppet masters are all wealthy; this is a consensus among all ninjas.

Tetsuya, who possesses fifteen elite Jonin-level puppets, is among the best.

Since it's a means to achieve mutual destruction, it naturally won't be stingy with its resources.

Each puppet contains at least ten explosive tags, and all ten together contain over a hundred.

At this moment, the sea of ​​fire, which was about to dissipate, was once again illuminated by dazzling flames.

The deafening roar of the explosion echoed across the battlefield, and the violent shockwaves spread outwards.

Before anyone could react, an even larger shockwave from the explosion swept over them.

The explosion's epicenter was at the supply depot, and the sea of ​​fire was right next to it, meaning all the ninjas within the sea of ​​fire were extremely close to the explosion's epicenter.

At this moment, no matter how many Sand Ninja used their defensive methods, they could not withstand the terrifying high temperature brought about by the explosion of at least a thousand explosive tags.

Those closest to the center were directly vaporized, while even those furthest from the center were burned to charcoal.

Ground.

"Damn, that's incredibly powerful! I'm at least a hundred meters above the ground, and it still managed to affect me?"

Uchiha Kiyoshi originally came here to handle the scene, just in case.

But now it seems that with such a huge explosion, those who were supposed to die must be dead, right?

As he was thinking, two memories appeared in Uchiha Kiyoshi's mind.

"So, all the ninjas inside the sea of ​​fire must be dead. Those outside can't see what's going on inside, so even if they survive, it won't make much of a difference."

After sorting through the two memories in his mind, Uchiha Kiyoya finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's alright, it's alright."

This time it wasn't a self-destruction, but a puppet self-destruction. The two shadow clones vanished in the instant before the explosion.

otherwise......"
