After making eye contact, he knew they were the ones he had to kill!
"Earth Release…"
"Wind Release: Separate Wind!"
Kaze shouts out his jutsu, while his opponents activate theirs by slapping. Clearly, they are half a beat behind!
Boom!
A violent wind domain suddenly expanded, knocking the Iwagakure ninja who were still forming hand seals several meters away.
"Hahaha, eat my dust, losers! Let's go full - throttle!"
Kaze laughed maniacally as he leaped over the Iwagakure ninja. He released poison while running away and even had the leisure to check his attribute panel.
[Killing power: 12
Speed: 27
Defense: 15
Chakra: 15]
It was obvious that apart from his lackluster killing power, his other attributes were excellent.
"In the World of Naruto: Just Turned Ten, Almost a Jonin", Woohoo!
Kaze wasn't running around aimlessly. The battlefield was full of traps and ambushes. He didn't want to have another unexpected encounter.
After making a small detour, he circled back to the path he came from, hoping to run into one or two Root members who have gouged out their own eyes.
After all, the two guys behind him were an elite Jonin and a Tokubetsu Jonin. Even if they inhaled the poisonous gas, he might not be able to take them down.
Who knew if they had an antidote or some hidden trump - card jutsu? These were all unknowns!
When you can play it safe, don't be reckless. That was Kaze's survival rule.
However, plans don't always go as expected. When Kaze took a sharp turn, an Iwagakure ninja squad happened to land from above.
At this moment, both sides were stunned.
The Iwagakure ninja were in a state of shock.
It was like a group of fully - armed soldiers were discussing a battle plan when a robber with a small pistol suddenly rushed in. It was just... comical.
Kaze was about to suffocate.
This was an entire Iwagakure ninja squad!
Why did they have to do this to him?
He was already in a tight spot, and now it was making a bad situation even worse!
"Earth Release…"
The Iwagakure ninja on the other side had started forming hand seals, and one of them drew a tantō and charged towards Kaze.
If he got caught by them, Yuujirou behind would surely smash Kaze's head.
"Poison Release!"
Fortunately, Kaze was really fast now. He promptly grabbed several poison pouches and smashed them forcefully at his feet.
A thick purple smoke suddenly billowed up. The terrifying poison was so strong that just smelling it from several meters away made one feel dizzy.
"Damn it, it's poison. Retreat quickly!"
Several Iwagakure ninja's faces turned pale. They immediately stopped their ninjutsu and quickly retreated.
Did this Konoha brat know he couldn't escape and wanted to take them down with him?
"Wind Release: Separate Wind!"
The moment Kaze released the poison, he used Separate Wind to create a wind domain, blocking all the spreading poisonous gas.
Uh... it was a bit like Spirit Words: Dust - Free Zone.
Taking advantage of the moment when the Iwagakure ninja retreated, he turned around again and ran away. At the same time, he shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Hey, guys! Save me!"
Right now, with so many Iwagakure ninjas chasing after him, he didn't care about his pride at all.
As for whether his shouts would attract nearby enemies...
Come on! Even if he kept quiet, he'd still bump into more and more enemies out of the blue.
What lousy luck! Dammit!
Yuto and the others were not participating in the battle, so they reacted quite quickly.
At the crucial moment, several Root members arrived and saved Kaze, who was surrounded by enemies.
To be honest, Yuto was shocked.
"Hey, what the hell did you do just now? Why are so many Iwagakure ninjas not joining the battle but chasing only you?"
Kaze looked furious and frustrated.
"The thing is, I didn't do anything! Aren't they just bullying a nice guy?"
Soon, the war was nearing its end.
Finally, the Uchiha clan won a hard - fought victory and forced Iwagakure to retreat.
Although the Uchiha clan members who came were not the elite ones, the ninjas sent by Iwagakure this time couldn't be called "elites" either.
Their real main forces were still in the Land of Rain, going head - to - head with Kumogakure.
This surprise attack on Konoha was just a trial to see if Konoha's rear was vulnerable and profitable.
Both sides suffered some losses in this battle, but only Tanzō made a profit.
"Hey, Vivi, are you okay?"
Kaze went to the place where Vivi had hidden. To his surprise, the girl had fainted.
Her face was ashen, looking like she had been poisoned... Wait, poisoned?!
He was instantly shocked and then felt a bit guilty.
"Oh no! Could it be that when I threw the poison pouch just now, this stupid woman didn't hold her breath and accidentally inhaled some poisonous gas?"
The highly poisonous substance Kaze had made was no joke. Vivi's defense was even lower than his. It might cost her life!
Thinking of this, he quickly took out a handful of antidote pills and stuffed them into Vivi's mouth.
"Ugh... Ugh... Vom..."
Vivi retched unconsciously. Hearing this, the Root members outside the woods showed strange expressions.
"My young master is so impatient. He doesn't know how to be gentle with a lady at all..."
Thanks to Kaze, at the last moment of the war, the Root members joined the battle, sharing a lot of the pressure for the Uchiha clan.
Among them, Kaze alone took on half of it.
"These lackeys of Konoha still show a bit of humanity," a Uchiha member whispered.
Another Uchiha sneered, "Maybe they do, but not much. Otherwise, why did they only intervene at the end? They just wanted to wear us out."
But most of the Uchiha clan members were sad about the casualties of their fellow clan members.
"So many of our fellow clan members died in this battle. I hope things will go smoothly on the other side and everyone can come back safely..."
On another battlefield.
"Hane... Run away quickly...!"
"Hane let out a hysterical roar."
His elder brother pushed him away at a critical moment to save him, only to have his chest pierced by the oncoming katana.
"Run away?" The Iwagakure ninja pulled out his katana, kicked the Uchiha in front of him away, and sneered.
"You two brothers are gonna die here today!"
"Damn it! I'll make you pay for my elder brother's life!"
Uchiha Hane's eyes turned completely blood-red. Immediately afterwards, two jet - black tomoe appeared and spun faster and faster in his eyes.
"Arrogant brat! Let me see if you've really got the guts!"
The Iwagakure ninja held his katana horizontally. With a flash of his figure, he quickly dashed towards Uchiha Hane.
Huff... Calm down... Calm down...
The two-tomoe Sharingan greatly enhanced Uchiha Hane's dynamic vision.
The movements of the Iwagakure ninja in front of him were like a slow - motion replay, showing several flaws to his eyes.
As long as... as long as he could seize one of those flaws!
Clang!
Uchiha Hane quickly drew the Uchiha clan's katana and rushed forward, slashing obliquely at the Iwagakure ninja.
"Drip... Drip..."
The two figures passed by each other and then froze. Blood kept dripping down one person's clothes.
On the ground, there was also a severed arm still holding a sword, and a small flaming fan (a symbol of some sort in the ninja world) could be seen on the sleeve.
