Chapter 29: Uchiha's Tragedy (Part 2) (5000)

Three days later, on the way to the border checkpoint of the Kingdom of Wind.

When passing through an evergreen forest, the Uchiha Fire Team decided to rest. After ten hours of running at full strength, their physical strength was almost exhausted. If they continued to advance rashly, they would face the danger of insufficient chakra.

"Ah, this is the first time I've been to a place so far away from the village. Even my breathing becomes easier!"

Under a large, thick and old tree, Uchiha was lying contentedly on the trunk. It looked like it was several times more comfortable than sleeping on his own bed at home.

Uchiha Cui, who was chewing rice balls on the side (the genin could not afford the military food pills), also nodded in agreement:

"Although we haven't left the realm of Fire yet, it feels great to think that we won't have to see those annoying faces for a long time."

What he said was naturally a common name in Konoha.

I don’t know what’s going on, but the negative sentiment towards Uchiha among the residents of Konoha has become more and more obvious recently. Some people even deliberately provoked the security team to cause chaos when they passed by. As a result, the security team could only continue to strengthen law enforcement, and even off-duty hours were higher than usual. It was extended by two hours.

Today, the Konoha police and people have entered a vicious circle in which conflicts are repeatedly intensifying and intensifying, and they are likely to get worse.

Many people who are not ninjas go to the streets to buy things and are not even willing to wear clothes with the clan emblem.

And the young people who have become ninjas are more arrogant in the village than before, and are occasionally caught by the police.

Staying in the village any longer would be a physical and mental torture for Gan Wentui.

"It's thanks to Brother Yanhuo that we can go out and take some time off."

Wen, who had the best temperament among the three, smiled gently.

“I met Yiyong before setting off and asked him about the clan leader’s attitude towards this matter.

"He said that originally, the Fugaku clan leader planned to keep Brother Yanhuo by his side and continue to train him, but because of our future, the eldest brother did not agree to work as the captain's assistant in the police force. Therefore, the clan leader was very angry yesterday. It is said that even the meal Didn’t even eat…”

"Hey, really?"

Cui and Gan said in unison, looking at Uchiha Yanhuo sitting on the branch with their bright eyes, and their tone was even more grateful.

"That's an important position. Are you going to give it up like this, Brother Yanhuo?"

Now not only Uchiha knows about Giyu not lying, but also Hinata next door.

What he said can basically be regarded as self-evident facts.

"Humph, that kid really asked what he said...

"But don't get distracted. I'm not doing this for your sake. Stop putting money on yourself."

Uchiha Yanhuo crossed his arms, turned his head to one side, stretched his right leg straight against the branch, and his left leg hung down casually, dangling proudly.

"I'm just thinking about my reputation and don't want to break the promise I made, that's all.

"Besides, I'm still so young, and those guys want to keep me in Konoha Village to grow up with them. They also say that they want to hone my character and ability so that I can take on more important responsibilities...

"I'll tell you the truth, I, Uchiha Flame, would rather be trampled to death by the demon fox than agree to their request."

"As expected of Brother Yanhuo!"

Gan Wen and Cui looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

In their opinion, Yan Huo has changed from the harsh and indifferent nature of strength supremacy half a year ago to a vague willingness to consider others, but he is not willing to admit it yet.

"By the way, we haven't asked yet, Brother Yanhuo, how did you pass the Jonin exam?"

Uchiha Choi suddenly asked.

"Could it be that the Hokage advisor named Mito Kadoren didn't make things difficult for you this time?"

"Sounds like a pretty nasty guy."

The other two also joined in, obviously very curious about what was going on.

"Humph, of course he will find ways to find trouble with me, but I didn't give him a chance this time."

When Uchiha Yanhuo spoke, his mind couldn't help flashing back to the scene when Giyuu defended that yellow-haired brat last time, and he also recalled what the Third Hokage said to him before leaving.

"I did not act alone this time, but deliberately picked the right moment to pull a lagging waste out of the trap. Now why does Mito Gate have any reason to say that I have no team spirit...

"Besides, the Third Hokage was also present at this Jonin examination. The old man is quite reasonable. It was he who suppressed Mito Kadobu's objections."

"That being said, Naruto seems to be a good person too..."

Fum Uchiha muttered to himself.

Yanhuo glanced at him and sighed silently.

"You think too simply, Wen. When you perform some complex tasks in the future, you will understand that people cannot just look at the surface. The most dangerous enemies often appear in front of you in a harmless way."

[I feel so wise when I say this...]

He held out a finger to teach the three of them: "Last time I scolded Sandai at the BBQ Q and was arrested by the police. But even the clan leader punished me for this, but Sandai himself showed kindness to me. Don’t you think it’s strange?”

The three of them exchanged glances under the tree, and finally nodded in confusion.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. If I did, you wouldn't have any impression.

"You've seen a lot of weirdos, and you'll understand for yourself. Anyway, remember, stay away from those smiling tigers. On the contrary, people like me who are straightforward and speak their minds are worthy of trust."

"Speak directly if you have anything to say..."

Uchiha Fumi weakly asked, "Do you mean the righteous hero?"

The pine needles fell from the forest, but otherwise everything was silent.

"Speaking of him..."

Uchiha Yanhuo looked down from the tree, his eyebrows raised high, obviously thinking of something irritating again.

"Last night, why didn't the facially paralyzed kid and the clingy kid come to my celebration party?

"Are you looking down on me? I heard you said that you got help from that kid, so I planned to thank him symbolically."

[You clearly said yesterday that it doesn’t matter. 】

"Sasuke has always been under the personal supervision of the clan leader. As for Giyuu, he probably has other things to do."

Uchiha Fumi replied: "Although it's not a good thing to say, it may be a good thing that Giyuu didn't go. After all, not everyone is familiar with his style, and it is easy to cause misunderstandings..."

"Hey! I obviously just helped him out on the street before."

Uchiha Enhuo has an inexplicable feeling towards Giyu.

It's like I should remember more things related to him in my mind, but no matter how I think about it, I only have vague impressions from the two previous meetings.

[Could it be that Uchiha Itachi left some shadow on me? How can this be……】

He shook his head to get rid of all the messy thoughts in his head, and then ordered:

"Okay, depending on the time, it's almost time to rest. Although we are still in the Country of Fire and there is no danger, we still need to do the basic preparations for survival in the wild, which is considered training.

"Cui, go check around for any traces of wild beasts, and sprinkle some medicine to repel snakes and insects."

"yes."

"Gan, go one hundred meters away and fifty meters away, and set up two layers of chain tripwire traps inside and outside. It doesn't need to be too complicated, just give us time to react. Don't be as clumsy as usual."

"knew."

"Wen, you are nearby and bury these detonating symbols in the soil. If they are not used, dig them out tomorrow and be sure to mark them around!"

[The detonating charm is quite expensive, and I spent so much money yesterday...]

"Oh, good!"

In this way, the three of Gan Wen and Cui began to divide the work and cooperate, while Uchiha Yanhuo, as the leader of the team, lay down half-ly, looking at the night sky through the layers of intertwined tree branches.

Gradually, as the noise of the three people got further and further away, a kind face appeared above the bright moon, like a light painting framed in a round frame.

"Grandpa, please watch over me, I will definitely..."

"What are you looking forward to?"

A strange, slightly hoarse voice sounded in Uchiha Yanhuo's ears without warning.

The longing in Yanhuo's eyes suddenly turned into a strong vigilance. The blood-red three-magatama Sharingan suddenly opened. When he turned his head, he saw a mess of hair, an orange-brown single-hole tiger spot mask, and a car on the highway. The rotating three-magatama Sharingan!

【when? ! Is he from the same clan? 】

How could she appear next to him silently?

"Forget it, I don't need your answer anyway..."

The masked man said softly that the Sharingan's illusion had been completed.

He was very confident in his own eye, which had once controlled the Kyuubi and even the fourth generation Mizukage of the Perfect Jinchuuriki. It shouldn't be a big problem to bring down a junior who had just obtained the Three Magatama for a year...

However, he never imagined it.

Uchiha Enhuo's brain was already covered by the pupil power of the illusion genius Uchiha Shisui.

Therefore, the illusion he used this time was unexpectedly unsuccessful. Instead, it caused two huge pupil powers to cancel each other out!

Uchiha Flame's modified memory was also restored!

[Has someone used the Sharingan to cast a genjutsu on him? Eye power is at least as good as mine...]

The masked man was surprised.

The existence of such a person means that there are other Uchihas who can control tailed beasts, and there will be unpredictable loopholes in his plan.

His determination to exterminate Uchiha has become even stronger!

And Yan Huo over there reacted instantly after being briefly surprised.

He ignored the real memory that had just returned to his mind, and the kunai in his hand moved towards the throat of this suspected tribesman as fast as an afterimage. But something even stranger happened, his kunai——

[Put it through directly? Not an entity? 】

Yan Huo opened his eyes wide, and when he failed to succeed, he stepped on the tree trunk and jumped back at high speed. His eyes were like marbles that repeatedly collided and bounced on the eye frames, and he quickly scanned the surroundings, trying to find the physical location of the enemy. But found nothing.

It wasn't until a chain flew out of the "phantom"'s cuffs, biting him like a self-aware snake, and made a violent sound of airflow, that Yan Huo knew that this was not just a phantom.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

[Since weapons can't hurt him, what about chakra? 】

A ball of terrifying and violent flames roared out from his mouth. Driven by a sufficient amount of chakra, this huge fire ball had a radius of six or seven meters.

Moreover, the color of the fire ball of Uchiha Flame is not ordinary orange-red, but a dazzling golden color with white light. From a distance of five meters, the surrounding trees can be ignited only by the high temperature at the edge!

This level of fire escape is something that even Shisui cannot do. It is the result of his hard work after losing to Uchiha Itachi.

After all, there are three words for fire in his name, Uchiha Yanhuo!

Although he is not good at shuriken and illusion, he is famous for his powerful fire escape and earth escape in his family.

Of course, in addition to testing the opponent's ability, this giant fireball is also to tell the other three people-

Enemy attack!

But before this fireball was extinguished, a strange, gray-green tree trunk jumped out through the bright flames, and it looked intact!

"What the hell..."

Uchiha Yanhuozhi threw three shurikens to cut it open and shoot it down, but the sharp blades of the shuriken just touched the branch, and the latter was crushed out of thin air as if by an invisible hand, and turned into dozens of small fragments, which shot rapidly in all directions!

[I don't know what it is, but there is chakra on it, which is definitely not good...]

In the dynamic vision of the three-magatama Sharingan, Uchiha Yan was still able to avoid these casually one by one, and think about countermeasures while dodging and retreating.

However, at this moment, Uchiha Wen, who was setting up detonating talismans nearby, heard the noise and appeared from behind a big tree. The firelight reflected on his golden face, and he was shocked.

"Brother Yanhuo!"

Coincidentally, when he stepped into the battlefield, a piece of branch fell on his neck. After the former came into contact with his skin, it "took root and sprouted" in Uchiha Yanhuo's sight, and then grew wildly-

The sound of flesh tearing rang out, and Uchiha Wen's brain, chest, abdomen and entire right hand were all pierced by the sharp branches of the tree as thick as his wrist. He was dead before he could react. The miserable state of the corpse was almost indescribable.

Seeing this scene, Uchiha Yanhuo's eyes were bloodshot. It was not just his eyeballs that were bright red, and even the whites of his eyes were surrounded by dense bloodshot.

He looked at the place where the fireball disappeared, and the masked man actually walked out of it intact, with a leisurely gait, as if he was taking a walk.

[If even my best fire escape technique is ineffective against him...]

I'm afraid there is no other way to deal with him.

This is also the reason why the other party is so calm.

The other party is not even worried that he will escape!!!

The sobriety brought by the cold reality stimulated his brain.

Uchiha Yanhuo gritted his teeth and ignored the stranger who was getting closer and closer to him. Instead, he turned his body and quickly formed a seal in the direction where the other Gan and Cui had left before. Then he slapped the ground with both hands at the same time, using most of his chakra on this technique that placed his hope!

"Earth escape technique·Earth flow river!"

The land more than five meters wide in front of Uchiha Yanhuo softened rapidly, like a wave of mud, advancing layer by layer, and the trees and the surrounding soil collapsed on the spot and continued to spread forward.

Uchiha Gan and Cui, who were anxiously rushing back, could not adapt to the softened ground under their feet in an instant, and were directly swept away by the mud flow, and rushed to the distance, without understanding what was happening at all.

Taking advantage of this gap, the masked man also came to Yanhuo. After he evaded Yanhuo's spinning kick and kunai stab by hollowing his body (actually sending his body into another space), he immediately kicked Yanhuo hard and stepped on Yanhuo's chest accurately. The latter spurted blood on the spot and his bones collapsed.

His speed and strength were far superior to Uchiha Yanhuo!

The latter flew backwards like a horizontal V-shaped cannonball, breaking one tree after another that required several people to hug, and finally rolled on the ground with his skin torn and covered in dust, like a piece of beef wrapped in seasoning, ready to be roasted at any time.

[The power of one blow made me completely lose my fighting power... huh...]

Yanhuo reached out and stabbed the ground with a kunai, trying hard to raise his head, but his arm was broken.

There was a severe pain all over his body. If his mind was not sober anymore and all his senses were gradually becoming numb, he would have screamed like a child who was afraid of injections.

[Am I going to be killed? ]

[How fake! I was just thinking about the future——]

[And that bastard Uchiha Shisui actually cast an illusion on me... That paralyzed kid, has he opened his eyes at such a young age?]

[Damn, I can't go back and argue with them...]

The masked man's ninja feet appeared in front of Yanhuo, interrupting his vague thoughts.

But the man didn't act immediately.

Uchiha Yanhuo's cheek pressed weakly against the ground, and his lips trembled as he asked:

"Who are you... Why do you have a Sharingan?"

The masked man squatted down, perhaps because the young tribe member's gradual death reminded him of something familiar, so he wanted to accompany him to complete this last journey.

"I'm just an Uchiha ghost, and I used to be the same as you."

[It only took an illusion to solve it, but it turned out like this. ]

"Why did you do... this kind of thing?"

Uchiha Yanhuo believed the other party's statement, because this person didn't need to lie to the dead.

But he was sure that this was definitely not any of the tribe members he knew.

"I need your Sharingan as a gift for an alliance...

"The purpose is to end this meaningless world. But to achieve this goal, every member of the Uchiha clan is an obstacle that I must eliminate."

"Is... is that so?"

Yanhuo didn't quite understand the meaning of the masked man's "big talk", but he understood the words that he needed the Sharingan.

"I'm sorry..."

He used up the last bit of his strength, raised his head slightly, and showed a malicious and bloody smile.

At the same time, the almost numb broken hand was quietly adjusting the shape of the kunai.

Uchiha Yanhuo coughed up blood and said loudly:

"Because of my eyes, you can only get one!"

[You two, you want to escape for me! ]

As he said that, he slammed his head - to be precise, his left eye, into the kunai that was close at hand. The force was so great that the kunai actually pierced through the back of his head, and blood splattered everywhere. The masked man did not use the hollow transformation, allowing the hot blood to stain his clothes.

At this point, Uchiha Yanhuo stopped breathing forever.

At this time, it was only three days before he became a jonin.

"I know you will do this..."

The masked man shook his head helplessly.

"The reason why I allow you to do this is because I only need one Sharingan for the time being."

After saying that, he pressed Yanhuo's body and sucked it into the vortex at his right eye.

"Next, it's time to complete this deal."
