This glimpse into the situation of the Uchiha clan within Konoha reveals their current predicament.

Uchiha Ryosuke wanted to turn around and leave.

I'm never going to bother with those guys again.

But just as he turned to leave and search for the enemy alone...

Suddenly, from a more distant place, I heard a few whispers.

Do you think those guys might fall for it?

The voice was familiar; it was one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist speaking.

This caused Uchiha Ryosuke to feel a slight chill.

"Are these guys... planning to lure the snake out of its hole?"

He stopped and listened intently.

More voices suddenly came through.

"Hmph, I think they've probably been tricked."

Let's wait here for them to catch up and see if my judgment was correct!

"Those guys from Konoha will definitely come over. Let's take care of them right here."

"..."

Just by listening to the conversation between these enemies, one can make a judgment.

Their previous injury and retreat were most likely an act.

The purpose was to lure Sarutobi Shio and his group into giving chase.

Then they can wipe out these Konoha ninjas in one fell swoop.

"No wonder the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are so famous in the ninja world; they are indeed not easy to deal with!"

Uchiha Ryosuke thought to himself, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to stay.

He definitely wasn't doing it for that Sarutobi Shio guy.

However, the Hyuga clan is a group worth trying to win over.

Maintaining good relations with their clan can be helpful for your future plans.

As for Sen Uzuki, although she was just a commoner from Konoha.

But it can also bring people closer and build goodwill.

Just as Uchiha Ryosuke was making a decision, another voice came.

"You're injured?"

"That guy hit me with a kunai from over a hundred meters away! He's no ordinary guy!"

"A hundred meters? To be able to hit your opponent with a kunai from that distance."

This kind of ninja is no ordinary person. Did you get a good look at his face?

"Judging from the clan crest, they must be from the Uchiha clan!"

"Uchiha... I knew something was off!"

The conversation among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist came to an abrupt end here.

However, they did not leave, but remained in the same place.

Uchiha Ryosuke could clearly hear their breathing and heartbeats.

You can even clearly smell the lingering scent of them in the woods.

Sure enough, after a moment of silence, someone else spoke up: "That guy is alone?"

"I only saw one!"

"That's good. We have seven of us, so let's just take care of that guy here and now."

As long as it's not someone like Shisui or the Yellow Flash who comes.

The other Uchiha are nothing against the combined might of the seven of us!

They clearly never expected this.

Uchiha Ryosuke could hear their conversation from such a distance.

After making their decision, the seven men began to lie in ambush.

Uchiha Ryosuke found it amusing.

"Thanks to the extraordinary perception awakened by my heaven-defying comprehension."

"It seems I'll have to personally kill one or two of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist today."

He concealed his presence and began to sneak towards the enemy's location.

...

On the other side, Sarutobi Shio was with Hyuga Koji.

The two of them, Uzuki Sen and Uchiha Ryosuke, arrived near the explosive tag array that Uchiha Ryosuke had previously set up.

After examining the bloodstains left on the ground, they pinpointed the direction the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist had fled.

"They were indeed injured!"

"Koji, check where those guys went!"

"Sarutobi Shio gave the order."

"Should we wait for the body recovery team to arrive before we act together?"

Maoyuexian still seemed a little worried.

To prevent information from being leaked, ninjas who died on the battlefield were killed.

Normally, the body is retrieved by one's own teammates.

But we are currently at war, and our forces need to continue to carry out combat missions.

Therefore, there are special units responsible for recovering bodies.

All you need to do is mark the location of the remains, and they will come looking for you.

"By the time they arrive, the enemy may have already escaped!"

Sarutobi Shio responded.

Hyuga Koji then added:

"It seems they've already moved beyond a kilometer's radius, which is the limit of my perception; I can't see them anymore."

But the bloodstains on the trees are clearly visible...it's certain they were all injured!

"Then we need to speed things up!"

"If you're too scared to participate, then stay here and wait for us, so you don't drag us down!"

Sarutobi Shio glanced coldly at Uzuki Sen, then took the lead in chasing after the direction the enemy had fled.

Hyuga Koji also looked back at Uzuki Sen with a conflicted expression before following her.

Seeing that her two teammates had left, Uzuki Sen hesitated for a moment, but had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow.

They were unaware that death was waiting for them ahead.

...

Uchiha Ryosuke stealthily approached the vicinity of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen's ambush position.

At the same time, they are full of confidence.

Eager to make a name for himself, Sarutobi Shio, along with Hyuga Koji and Uzuki Sen, arrived at the enemy's ambush location.

Hyuga Koji suddenly stopped.

Sarutobi Shio immediately turned around in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The bloodstains disappear here, that's strange..."

Koji Hinata muttered to himself.

"Hehe! Is that strange?"

"Because we've been waiting here for you to come to us!"

"So it really was just them?"

There were no reinforcements lying in ambush; we were just careless...

"To think I got injured by these guys, what a disgrace! Let's just kill them right here!"

Suddenly, seven figures appeared at the same time, surrounding the three of them.

One of the middle-aged men, who had a beard, exclaimed in surprise, "Huh?"

"Why are there only three?"

Chapter 10 Uchiha Ryosuke... Not simple!

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist swept their gazes around and found that there were indeed only three Konoha ninjas surrounded.

Their eyes immediately became wary.

"The Uchiha who injured me with a kunai is not here."

Tongcao Yeyanren reminded him in a deep voice.

"Never mind him for now, he's probably scared and ran away, hehe! Killing these guys first won't hurt!"

The Watermelon Mountain Fugu Demon wielding the great sword Samehada.

With a sinister laugh, he leaped down from the tree, brandishing his greatsword Samehada, and swung it horizontally at Sarutobi Shio's waist.

And two of the other members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

They also launched simultaneous attacks on Hyuga Koji and Uzuki Sen.

The remaining four did not make a move, but instead adopted a defensive stance, ready to deal with any other enemies that might appear.

It is evident that these seven individuals are highly professional and have extensive combat experience.

Sarutobi Shio's expression changed slightly when he saw Suigetsu Hobutsuki suddenly attack him.

But he remained calm in the face of danger, and instead gave a low shout:

"That Uchiha you're talking about, yes, he's already run away. He's just a coward!"

"The one who will kill you here today will be your grandpa Sarutobi Shio!!"

As he spoke, two strangely shaped weapons appeared in his hands.

He used both hands to desperately block Samehada, the greatsword of Suigetsu Hozuki.

A tremendous force swept in.

With just a single encounter, Sarutobi Shio was swept away.

There was a muffled sound.

Sarutobi Shio's body crashed into the trunk of a large tree more than ten meters away, and blood immediately gushed from the corner of his mouth.

But before he could catch his breath, the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon grinned and chased after him again.

"You don't actually think you can turn the tables on us with your meager skills, do you?"

"May you have better eyesight in your next life!"

Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon swept out with a single horizontal slash.

With a loud crash, it cleaved Sarutobi Shio and the huge tree that would take at least three people to encircle in half.

But it was at this moment that a loud "bang" was heard.

Sarutobi Shio, who was split in two, became a piece of wood.
