I'm retrieving corpses in Konoha.

.

In the basement, Uchiha Natsu sensed someone coming to the courtyard outside, so he used Earth Release ninjutsu to come to the surface.

After emerging from a corner of the courtyard, Uchiha Natsumi discovered that the person who had come was Uzuki Yugao.

Just then, Uzuki Yugao reached the door, raised her hand and knocked, saying in a clear voice, "Teacher, I am Uzuki Yugao."

Uchiha Natsu, who was in the corner of the courtyard, instantly activated his Sharingan and cautiously scanned Uzuki Yugao.

Only after confirming that it wasn't someone else using the Transformation Technique did Uchiha Natsu feel relieved.

With Uchiha Natsu's current eye power, he can only see through the Transformation Technique, not the Shadow Clone Technique.

Only by reaching the level of Shisui's kaleidoscope-like ability and further enhancing his pupil power can one see through the Shadow Clone Technique from the smallest details.

After all, the Shadow Clone Technique is about copying the original body, not changing its appearance.

Even their meridians and bones are almost identical, so it's not that easy to see through them.

Uchiha Natsu's shadow clone opened the door, then immediately saw the real Uchiha Natsu in the corner of the yard, and then deactivated itself.

"What did the Third Hokage say when he kept you here?" Uchiha Natsu's true form walked up from behind and asked.

Uzuki Yugao quickly turned around and said urgently, "Master, the Third Hokage has assigned me to a Chunin team called Gekko Hayate. I should be outside the village by now. This is my shadow clone."

Uchiha Natsu frowned, lost in thought.

Team switching is a very common occurrence.

During peacetime, they will guide Jonin or Chunin and lead Genin disciples for a period of time.

During this period, the instructor will take on simple missions with the student. Once the genin is capable, the teams will be switched.

After all, as a Jonin, it's impossible to always carry out C-rank or D-rank missions.

Of course, this also depends on the Jonin leading the team. If he is willing to sacrifice his own wallet and keep taking his disciples to grind experience, that is also possible.

In wartime, some Jonin would be assembled into a team to carry out important missions against the enemy.

As a result, the genin who were originally in the team had to form another team.

This is probably the situation for Uzuki Yugao right now.

So, Uchiha Natsu smiled and comforted him, "That's normal. After all, it's wartime now, and I might have an important mission. You'll be transferred back after the war ends."

Upon hearing this, Uzuki Yugao felt somewhat relieved.

Then she remembered something and continued, "Oh right, teacher, the Third Hokage also promoted me to Chunin, saying it was a reward for my performance this time."

Uchiha Natsu frowned again, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

If Uchiha Natsumi were to be transferred away for a period of time, he could accept it.

However, the Third Hokage's decision to promote Uzuki Yugao to Chunin at this time clearly indicated his intention to permanently remove her from his side.

Uzuki Yugao was the first arm he had trained, and Uchiha Natsu would never let her go before the time was right.

Although I am quite strong now, one person's strength is ultimately limited, and one tree cannot support a forest.

Cultivating downlines is the best approach.

Moreover, after this period of ideological indoctrination, Uzuki Yugao's "loyalty" is constantly increasing, and her strength is also improving by leaps and bounds.

The third generation, however, wanted to reap the benefits at this time and steal away the genius they had nurtured.

Uchiha Natsu narrowed his eyes slightly, looked into Uzuki Yugao's eyes, and slowly said:

"Xi Yan, you should focus on carrying out your mission with that team. I'll bring you back after the battle is over."

Uzuki Yugao was finally relieved to receive Uchiha Natsu's reply.

Just then, Uchiha Natsu raised an eyebrow.

The shadow clone that went to the clan meeting has been deactivated, and as the memories are transmitted back to the main body, Uchiha Natsu also learns about the contents of the clan meeting.

Honestly, I've been using Wildfruit Reading to read and follow my favorite books lately. It has easy source switching, multiple reading voice options, and works on both Android and Apple devices.

Uzuki Yugao glanced at Uchiha Natsu's expression and quickly said, "Teacher, shall I dispel the Shadow Clone Technique first?"

"Yes, remember to be careful when carrying out missions." Uchiha Natsu waved his hand.

"Yes."

With a soft "poof," Uzuki Yugao's shadow clone turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared.

Uchiha Natsu then formed hand seals once more.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

A shadow clone instantly formed beside Uchiha Natsu.

Currently, in the entire Hidden Leaf Village, only Shisui and the clan leader Fugaku can see through the clones of Uchiha Natsukage.

Both of them possess the Mangekyou Sharingan, which grants them powerful ocular abilities.

However, the three Jonin who were about to team up with him did not have this ability.

Therefore, Uchiha Natsu planned to use Shadow Clones to participate in the combat mission.

The shadow clone returned to the house, while Uchiha Natsu's main body went underground.

A moment later, the gate to the Uchiha Natsu family's courtyard was opened, and a black-haired young man strode in.

The young man walked straight through the alley to the door and knocked hard twice with his right hand.

"Hey, hurry up and come out. Come with me to find the captain. We're going to the battlefield." The young man raised his left hand and rubbed the black mole in the center of his forehead, calling out rudely.

Chapter 29 The Uchiha's "Power"

"Squeak."

Uchiha Natsu's shadow clone opened the door, looking at the arrogant young man in front of him with an indifferent expression.

He knew that this person was named Uchiha Tekka, and that he was considered a genius.

At only seventeen years old, he had already awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan.

Uchiha Tetsuka showed no politeness and coldly snorted, "The Third Hokage ordered you to team up with me, Captain Eighth Hokage, and Inahisa-san to go to the battlefield on a mission."

"I don't know what the Third Generation was thinking, sending such a useless piece of trash like you to form a team with the three of us elites."

Uchiha Tetsuka looked completely bewildered, his expression as if he had just eaten fly droppings.

In reality, this was the situation for Uchiha Natsu within the Uchiha clan; everyone looked down on him.

Men of the Uchiha clan either live a peaceful life as ordinary people, or they enter the Ninja Academy, become excellent ninjas, and after graduation join the Konoha Police Force or become elites of Konoha Village.

Like Uchiha Natsu, who entered the Ninja Academy but was completely suppressed by people from other clans, he can be said to have utterly disgraced the Uchiha clan.

He even hid his tail and survived for so many years in the morgue.

In the eyes of others, Uchiha Natsu had completely ruined the reputation of the Uchiha clan.

Therefore, whether they were ordinary clansmen or elite ninjas, they all looked down on Uchiha Natsu.

Only someone as kind-hearted as Shisui would treat him without any prejudice.

Uchiha Natsu narrowed his eyes, his expression growing colder.

Uchiha Tetsuka also noticed Uchiha Natsu's expression, but scoffed and continued, pursing his lips:

"Xia, I'm warning you, when you get to the captain, ask to switch teams yourself. Our elite team doesn't need someone like you who's dragging us down, understand?"

"Heh, dragging me down? You think you're better than me?" Uchiha Natsu glanced at Uchiha Tetsuka as if he were an idiot.

This guy is so annoying, no wonder his only appearance in the original work was when he was beaten up by Itachi.

Uchiha Tekka's face instantly turned cold, and he said in a gloomy tone, "Who gave you the confidence to say such a thing?"

At the same time, Uchiha Tekka's pupils instantly turned red, and three tomoe appeared around his pupils.

He had only recently awakened his three-tomoe Sharingan, and it was precisely because of these eyes that he was promoted to a full-fledged Jonin.

With his three tomoe, he was far superior to Uchiha Natsu, a complete loser, so he planned to teach Uchiha Natsu a lesson here first.

Let him know where the pride of the Uchiha clan truly comes from!

Just as Uchiha Tetsuka activated his Sharingan, his body suddenly sank.

Suddenly, two hands reached out from the ground beneath Uchiha Tekka's feet and pulled half of his leg into the soil.

This sudden turn of events startled Uchiha Tetsuka, and then, he saw Uchiha Natsu holding a light blue sphere in his hand rushing towards him.

Before Uchiha Tetsuka could react, he was struck squarely by Uchiha Natsu's Rasengan, which sent him spinning.

"what!"

With a cry of pain, Uchiha Tekka spun around and flew backward, finally crashing heavily to the ground.

Uchiha Natsu's shadow clone stepped outside and looked down at Uchiha Tetsuka as if he were an ant.

Indeed, this is true. Compared to Uchiha Natsu, a Jonin of Uchiha Tetsuka's caliber is no different from an ant.

Of the entire Uchiha clan, only Shisui and Fugaku posed a threat to him.

Uchiha Tetsuka was caught off guard by the shadow clone on the ground, and now that he had recovered, he was furious.

The excruciating pain in his abdomen, which felt as if his flesh was being torn apart, fueled his rage.

"Uchiha, Xia!"

Uchiha Tetsuka roared, then pushed his eye power to its limit.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Uchiha Tekka formed hand seals, and then opened his mouth to spit out a huge fireball.

A fireball, as tall as two people, hurtled towards Uchiha Natsu, bringing with it a wave of intense heat.

Uchiha Natsu, on the other hand, launched the Rasengan that he had instantly condensed in his hand, which collided head-on with the Great Fireball.

"Boom!"

The huge explosion resounded throughout the courtyard, and even the tables and chairs not far away were blown away by the blast wave and overturned to the ground.

The courtyard was instantly turned into a mess.
