The Uchiha clan's territory was located in the northwest corner of Konoha Village. It was situated on the edge of the village, with mountains behind it, giving it a sense of being easily defensible but difficult to attack.
However, for Konoha, it was easier to guard the entrance to the Uchiha clan's territory. This way, they could always be on the lookout for any Uchiha members who might try to defect.
After leaving the Hokage Tower, Kai headed towards the Uchiha clan's territory.
Having lived two lives, Kai had become cautious.
However, he still felt a deep-rooted attachment to this place.
Perhaps this was the only thing the previous soul had left for Kai.
Kai looked up at the simple gate in the distance. The Uchiha clan's crest was carved on it.
Whoosh!
A sound of breaking air suddenly echoed.
Kai raised an eyebrow and flicked his wrist, throwing three shuriken. They transformed into a streak of black light, directly charging towards his side.
Clang, clang, clang!
Three metallic collisions echoed.
The shuriken were deflected.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique," a slightly childish voice suddenly echoed.
Kai rolled his eyes helplessly. Seeing the four-to-five-meter-wide fireball rolling towards him, he quickly flipped his hands, forming a series of hand seals.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique."
A water dragon erupted, directly colliding with the fireball.
Boom!
A thunderous roar echoed, and a plume of water vapor shot up into the sky.
"Itachi, that's enough. If you want to fight, wait until next time," Kai said, appearing like a ghost, passing through the explosive waves and appearing behind Itachi, grabbing his shoulder.
Itachi was startled. He had been quickly forming hand seals, but he never expected Kai's speed to be so fast.
He had only managed to catch a glimpse of him.
"You're only six years old, and you've already awakened the single-tomoe Sharingan. Itachi, you're really amazing," Kai patted Itachi's shoulder.
Even the previous Uchiha Kai had been very protective of this younger cousin.
Moreover, Uchiha Itachi had also taken care of this relatively timid and introverted older cousin.
"Brother, you've been hiding your true strength," Uchiha Itachi turned around, a hint of displeasure on his face.
Kai scratched his nose helplessly. "I just don't want to cause trouble. But this time, I can't avoid it."
"Aren't you in the Ninja Academy? You're not skipping class using a shadow clone, are you?"
Uchiha Itachi's expression froze, clearly hit where it hurt.
"Brother, don't tell Dad…" Uchiha Itachi said urgently.
For Uchiha Itachi, who had just entered the Ninja Academy, he was still a naive and innocent boy.
It was only after graduating from the Ninja Academy that his personality gradually became silent. As he learned more and took on more responsibilities, he ultimately fell into a dead end after Uchiha Shisui's death.
"Don't worry. Your dad isn't bothering me. That's good enough," Kai patted Uchiha Itachi's shoulder.
He looked towards the forest in the distance, raised an eyebrow, and directly used Body Flicker Technique.
"Brother…" Uchiha Itachi had just opened his mouth, but before he could finish, he saw Uchiha Kai vanish into thin air.
"Such fast Lightning Release Body Flicker Technique. It's even faster than Shisui's…" Uchiha Itachi's expression froze. He quickly followed.
As soon as he stepped into the small forest, he heard a cry for help.
"Kai, I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble," Uzuki Yūgao said, holding her chakra blade. Her face was dirty, and she looked a little tired.
"I just wanted to bring you some food. I didn't expect him to say I was trespassing on the Uchiha clan's territory…"
As she spoke, Uzuki Yūgao lowered her head in dejection.
"Don't worry about it," Kai shook his head and looked at the three people blocking Yūgao's path, his face darkening slightly.
If he remembered correctly, the leader was one of the deputy captains, Uchiha Ishi, who had once been hailed as a prodigy, and two of his sidekicks.
However, after Uchiha Shisui's sudden rise to prominence, he was overshadowed.
"Kai, is this your friend? Have you forgotten that non-Uchiha members are not allowed to enter within five hundred meters of the guard team's territory?" Uchiha Ishi sneered.
This time, he was deliberately making trouble to make Kai submit to his authority.
"Uchiha Ishi, I remember there's no such rule in the guard team. My father would never set such a rule," Uchiha Itachi was the first to speak.
"Release her quickly, or you'll be violating clan rules."
The Uchiha clan had always longed for the Hokage position.
Unfortunately, they always fell far behind in the number of votes.
After all, the Uchiha clan had a large number of members. It was considered a big clan in the ninja world.
But compared to the entire Konoha Village, it was no match.
Therefore, Uchiha Fugaku had made many preparations for this Hokage position.
Unfortunately, there was also a genius, Minato Namikaze.
With Uchiha Fugaku hiding his Mangekyō Sharingan, the two were no match.
"Hmph, now that Clan Head Fugaku is not here, I am the rule," Uchiha Ishi said solemnly.
"Actually, we're all from the same clan. As long as you listen to me from now on, I'll let this trespassing incident slide."
"Otherwise, don't blame us for taking action."
Uchiha Itachi's face changed slightly. He looked at Kai with a hint of hesitation.
"Itachi, stay out of this mess. Just watch from the side," Kai patted Uchiha Itachi's shoulder and looked at him. "No room for negotiation?"
Uchiha Ishi was stunned for a moment, then he sneered. "I forgot to tell you, I've just been promoted to Jōnin Elite. Do you think there's room for negotiation?"
"Jōnin Elite?" Kai smiled warmly. "No wonder you dare to change the rules. So, you've been promoted to Jōnin Elite."
"There aren't many Jōnin Elite in Konoha."
As he spoke, Kai's smile deepened. The next moment, his words took on a hint of coldness.
"Unfortunately, your confidence is a little lacking…"
As soon as he finished speaking, the electric arcs crackled around Kai's body.
Bang!
The ground beneath his feet shattered, and he instantly transformed into a streak of lightning, passing by in the blink of an eye.
He covered dozens of meters in the blink of an eye.
By the time Uchiha Ishi and the others reacted, Kai was already in front of them.
Heavy Flowing Blast!
Kai's right hand clenched tightly, without any fancy moves, he slammed directly into Uchiha Ishi's abdomen.
