Meanwhile, the higher-ups in Konoha Village were holding a meeting.
Hokage Building.
"The Uchiha are hiding secret techniques!"
Danzo Shimura slammed his hand on the table, making Hiruzen Sarutobi's pipe jump a few times.
He was furious about the Uchiha hiding secret techniques.
Danzo Shimura believed he understood the Uchiha well enough, even knowing about techniques like "Izanagi."
But he had never heard of any secret technique that could instantly kill a ninja.
The deceased's body was shattered all over the ground.
It looked like an explosion or being squeezed by something.
Like someone crushing a fly.
"Enough, Danzo."
Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Danzo Shimura.
It was said that when the Uchiha were subjected to intense stimulation, they would awaken eyes called "Mangekyo Sharingan."
And they would possess some special techniques.
Like "Susanoo."
However, this was only recorded in books.
Only Madara Uchiha had awakened it back then, and neither he nor the other Konoha higher-ups or Hokage advisors had ever seen it.
"Hiruzen, what needs to be investigated now is whether Fugaku awakened the "Mangekyo Sharingan" that Tobirama-sensei mentioned, or some other technique."
Koharu Utatane stepped forward and said.
This would determine the village's attitude towards the Uchiha and adjust the Uchiha's danger level.
That demonic clan must be guarded against.
This was also Tobirama-sensei's belief during his lifetime.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have assigned the Uchiha to the Konoha Military Police Force, like a cage, imprisoning this group of Uchiha.
"Uchiha Fugaku is hiding secret techniques, his intentions are hard to fathom."
Homura Mitokado pushed up his glasses.
When they were sent to the battlefield, they had already anticipated that such a situation might occur.
"…Let Kiyoshi go."
The figure of Kiyoshi flashed through Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind.
From their usual interactions, Kiyoshi deeply understood the true meaning of the "Will of Fire."
Kiyoshi could be regarded as a bridge between the Uchiha and the village.
In that case, any movements of the Uchiha could be known immediately.
"After this matter is over, let them temporarily return to Konoha, and let the ninjas of the Hyuga clan join the Uchiha's stronghold and jointly guard that defense line."
Hiruzen Sarutobi issued a series of orders.
An ANBU appeared from the shadows in the Hokage's office.
He knelt on one knee, accepted the order, and left.
"A troublesome time…"
Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up the pipe that had jumped a few times just now.
He lit it and took a deep breath.
Currently, the village still needed the Uchiha, and the war situation was unclear.
Everything had to be done with utmost caution.
… … … …
Several days passed.
In the forest.
"Everyone be careful."
"Yes, Mei Terumi-sama."
A small team of Kirigakure ninjas listened to Mei Terumi's instructions.
In the Village of the Bloody Mist, strength was paramount. With her terrifying talent and dual Kekkei Genkai, Mei Terumi had undoubtedly become the commander of this small team.
Genin were actually the main force of the war, which was to say, cannon fodder.
And Chunin were already officer-level figures who could lead a team.
This was different from a Jonin-led team, as it was divided based on ability and strength.
Generally, the stronger the commander, the stronger the team they led.
"Very good."
Mei Terumi looked back at the six people and nodded with satisfaction.
She looked into the distance, where a man and a woman were walking in the forest ahead.
They were today's targets.
The ones in front were Raiga Kurosuki and Kushimaru Kuriarare.
Raiga Kurosuki had asked them to follow secretly from behind, while they were responsible for exploring the Uchiha's secret passage in front.
… …
Raiga Kurosuki was still wrapped in some white bandages and carried twin swords on his back.
"Is this where the hidden Uchiha passage was discovered?"
Raiga Kurosuki frowned as he looked at Kushimaru Kuriarare.
The sound of a flowing stream could be faintly heard in the distance ahead.
This was the battlefield from a few days ago.
Raiga Kurosuki understood.
The newest novels are first published on !
In that case, the Uchiha stronghold was not far away, and they wanted to support the front line, so they passed through here.
If there was a secret passage, it would make sense.
For a Earth Release ninja, digging a secret passage with Earth Release ninjutsu was an easy task.
"That's right."
Kushimaru Kuriarare's complexion was a little better than before, but not as good as when Kiyoshi had used "Dark Healing Ninjutsu" to regulate her body.
The effect was constantly weakening.
"Keep leading the way."
Raiga Kurosuki signaled Kushimaru Kuriarare to continue walking.
He had wanted to bring more people, but Kushimaru Kuriarare said that too many people would attract attention and be easily discovered.
This made sense.
But… it was also possible that Kushimaru Kuriarare was setting a trap to challenge his position.
So Raiga Kurosuki kept a close eye on things and secretly had some Kirigakure ninjas follow him from behind.
In the Village of the Bloody Mist, scheming and infighting happened almost every day.
Raiga Kurosuki was already used to this kind of life.
He walked behind, sizing up Kushimaru Kuriarare's small body.
The sickly Kushimaru Kuriarare had pale skin.
If she changed her hairstyle and let her brownish-red hair fall down, she would look good.
Unfortunately, she was weighed down by her hairstyle.
Chi!
Suddenly, the sound of a kunai piercing through the air was heard.
Raiga Kurosuki dodged subconsciously, and the kunai with electric arcs grazed his ear.
"So it was a trap, Kushimaru Kuriarare."
Raiga Kurosuki's face turned cold, and he retreated a few steps with "Body Flicker Technique" and took out his twin swords.
Seeing this, Kushimaru Kuriarare's pale fingers fluttered like butterflies, quickly extracting chakra to form hand seals.
"Lightning Release: Earth Run!"
Kushimaru Kuriarare quickly released the ninjutsu, and lightning emerged.
"Hmph."
Raiga Kurosuki snorted coldly, and the twin swords touched each other.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Ball!"
Condensed Lightning Release chakra gathered together, becoming a ball of lightning.
Crackle!
The two's electric currents collided, and the dazzling white light covered the area.
"Move!"
Raiga Kurosuki shouted.
However, before he could see the support from the Kirigakure squad, what responded to him was a blazing fire dragon.
Rumble!
The scorching high temperature of the flames made Raiga Kurosuki's pupils shrink.
Who is it?
Kushimaru Kuriarare had found other helpers!
Raiga Kurosuki's heart tightened. Not having time to think more, he immediately merged his twin swords and summoned lightning to attach to his body.
This was a special effect he created by combining the twin swords to summon lightning, thereby creating a ninjutsu.
Named "Ninja Art: Lightning Armor"!
The flames instantly engulfed Raiga Kurosuki. Kushimaru Kuriarare on the opposite side was prepared and jumped away in advance, and also created a water wall in front with Water Release ninjutsu.
"Damn it!"
Raiga Kurosuki's face was so gloomy that water was about to drip from it.
The time was too rushed, and he could only barely summon "Ninja Art: Lightning Armor", almost being roasted into a charred corpse by the flames.
