Chapter 4 Escape and Using Others to Kill
Fujino, a Jonin from Iwagakure, led three Chunin disciples to escape to a safe area in the distance.
He looked at his disciples with a grave expression and said, "Qingyan and Daishi, take Shanhu back to the base for treatment. Also, bring back the intelligence from here and have them send another Jonin to provide support. I will continue to pursue that Uchiha ninja. This mission is of paramount importance and cannot be lost!"
Oishi, a Chunin from Iwagakure, frowned slightly and asked with some doubt, "Sensei, from what I've observed, the opponent is only sixteen or seventeen years old. Is he really that strong? Is it necessary to send a Jonin to provide support?"
Fujino, a Jonin from Iwagakure, explained with a serious expression, "Using that 'Double Head, Four Arms' ninjutsu, he can easily unleash combination ninjutsu. What's even more troublesome is that he can also activate Sharingan genjutsu twice simultaneously, which is equivalent to casting four ninjutsu at the same time. Therefore, the power and strategic value of this ninjutsu are beyond imagination. Moreover, a Konoha genius like him is a priority target for us."
Upon hearing this, the Iwagakure Chunin Aoandon nodded and said, "Understood, Master. We'll take Yama-no-Tama back for treatment and bring the information back with us!"
Fujino, a Jonin from Iwagakure, nodded slightly, then used the Body Flicker Technique to disappear from the spot.
Watching their teacher leave, the Iwagakure Chunin Aoyama turned to his two companions and said with a serious expression, "Oishi, carry the mountain fox on your back, let's hurry back to the base."
Oishi, a Chunin from Iwagakure, patted his chest and said, "Sorry, Yama-fox, bear with the pain, I'll carry you back for treatment right away!"
After saying that, he squatted down, carefully picked up the mountain fox on his back, and hurried quickly northward.
On the other side, Uchiha Mitsunori had only been away for a dozen minutes when he realized that someone was chasing after him.
The pursuer was none other than Fujino, a Jonin from Iwagakure. He made no attempt to conceal himself, instead acting like an unshakeable leech, launching attacks to harass the pursuers from time to time. Whenever he encountered a counterattack, he would swiftly flee underground at incredible speed, proving extremely annoying.
Faced with such a slippery opponent, Uchiha Mitsunori was somewhat annoyed, but he could only carefully consider his options.
"The enemy is a seasoned Jonin, and they're located on the border of the Land of Earth. Their reinforcements should be catching up soon, so their attack is simply an attempt to disrupt my escape... If I continue this fight, I'll die... I'll die!"
The oncoming wind gave him some ideas, and his furrowed brows relaxed a little.
He came up with a plan: to cross the heart of the Land of Grass. Although doing so would invite attacks from a large number of Grass Village ninjas, at least there would be hope of escape.
During the Third Shinobi World War, the main battlefield between Konoha and Iwagakure was actually in the Land of Grass, which is the predicament of a small country.
The ninjas of Kusagakure appear outwardly respectful to Konoha and Iwagakure, but secretly they are opportunists, selling Iwagakure's information to Konoha and vice versa. They will also ambush or kidnap lone Konoha or Iwagakure ninjas.
Seeing Uchiha Mitsunori change direction and rush towards Kusagakure, Iwagakure Jonin Fujino guessed their intentions. His expression immediately darkened, and after leaving some coded signals on the ground, he gave chase.
On the border of the Grass Country, all kinds of grasses grow everywhere. Even the scattered trees are not very tall, so there are not many places to hide.
As they sped off, Uchiha Mitsunori glanced sideways at the pursuers behind him. The Iwagakure Jonin behind him was extremely cautious; Sharingan genjutsu required eye contact to activate successfully, but the pursuers had been chasing him for over two hours, and he hadn't found an opportunity to use Sharingan genjutsu.
Just as he was about to enter the Kusagakure village's perimeter, the enemy showed no sign of giving up. He then took out a soldier's ration pill and ate it to restore his stamina and chakra.
Not long after, three Kusagakure ninjas appeared not far ahead. Holding kunai, they assumed a defensive stance and shouted, "This is Kusagakure territory! Please leave immediately!"
Uchiha Mitsunori activated his three-tomoe Sharingan and, upon discovering they were just three genin, pulled out six shuriken and threw them. "Clang...clang...clang!" Several metallic clanging sounds rang out, and the three Kusagakure genin clutched their necks, convulsing as they collapsed, clearly not long for this world.
After dealing with the Kusagakure genin, he glanced at the pursuers behind him; they clearly hadn't given up. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue deeper into Kusagakure territory.
The Sharingan's detection abilities aren't as strong as the Byakugan, but they're not weak either. A short while later, Uchiha Mitsunori spotted nine Kusagakure ninjas in the distance.
"Three Chunin and six Genin, maybe we can give it a try!"
After saying that, he ignored the six genin and hid directly towards the three chunin from Kusagakure.
120 meters... 50 meters... 30 meters... The distance is getting closer and closer...
Uchiha Mitsumine, hiding in the shadows, used the "God and Demon Transformation: Two Heads and Four Arms Technique" and then suddenly charged towards the three Kusagakure Chunin.
Suddenly, a two-headed, four-armed monster appeared and charged towards them. The three Kusagakure Chunin were slightly taken aback, then thought to themselves, "Not good!"
"Genjutsu: Sharingan"
Two Kusagakure Chunin wielded kunai and stabbed at the ninja standing in the middle. Instantly, the Kusagakure Chunin clutched his lower back and collapsed, shouting in his dying moments, "Enemy attack!"
The shouts quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding Kusagakure ninja, while Uchiha Mitsunori hid himself.
Then, he controlled a Kusagakure Chunin who was under a genjutsu and shouted, "There's a lone Iwagakure Jonin at 4 o'clock. He killed the Kusagakure Chunin, and I'm going to avenge him!"
Unable to watch the show, Fujino, a Jonin from Iwagakure, formed hand seals and slammed them on the ground: Wei-Zi-Chou... Earth Release: Earth Stone Dragon.
A dragon of earth, over ten meters long, emerged from the ground. He quickly leaped onto its head and shouted down, "I didn't kill anyone! I'm chasing an Uchiha! If you know what's good for you, get out of my way!"
The two Kusagakure Chunin, who were under the control of genjutsu, ignored what the other party said and continued to rush towards the Iwagakure Jonin.
As the two sides drew closer, Fujino, a Jonin from Iwagakure, naturally noticed the anomaly. The eyes of the two Chunin from Kusagakure had transformed into the shape of Sharingan, a characteristic of those controlled by Sharingan genjutsu.
Knowing that persuasion was futile, he could only resort to ninjutsu attacks: Sheep-Noon-Dragon-Tiger... Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet.
The giant earth dragon opened its mouth wide and kept shooting out clods of earth. In an instant, a Kusagakure Chunin was hit by several clods of earth and fell to the ground, motionless. Blood quickly stained his clothes.
Seeing this, another Kusagakure Chunin shouted, "Damn it, he killed Hinagiku Chunin too! I'll avenge her!"
After saying that, the Kusagakure Chunin rushed over and detonated the explosive tags on his body. "Boom... boom boom... boom...", the sound of explosions rang out continuously.
Seeing such a gruesome death, the surrounding Kusagakure ninjas felt their blood boil. They no longer concealed themselves, quickly surrounding the Iwagakure Jonin and drawing their ninja tools to attack.
Although the plan was successful, the six Kusagakure genin couldn't hold out for long. Fortunately, the continuous explosions had already caused a stir, and more Kusagakure ninja were rushing towards the blast area...
