Uchiha Fucheng heard the black-haired girl recognize him and roughly understood what was going on. However, since they were still in battle, Uchiha Fucheng didn't dare to dwell on it.
Forming hand signs quickly, Uchiha Fucheng threw out five Kunai.
"Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson!"
The flying Kunai were connected by several steel wires.
With Uchiha Fucheng at the center, the Fire Release spread out into five flaming fire snakes attached to the steel wires.
Kunai throwing + Fire Release explosion.
The Puppet Master used their puppets to perfectly block two of the Fire Release attacks.
But the other Chunin of the enemy side had his right arm burned by the Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson.
The steel wires were coated with an accelerant, making the flames difficult to extinguish.
This Sand Ninja appeared exceptionally decisive, trading an arm for his life by cutting it off with a single strike, showing his wealth of battlefield experience.
The last Ninja who felt this decisive to Uchiha Fucheng was the armless Raikage from his memories.
The Chunin was injured and dodged.
But the two Genin behind him were too slow.
The Kunai, changing direction in the air, struck the chests of the two Sand Ninja directly.
The subsequent Fire Release followed the steel wires and ignited their entire bodies.
Before they could call for help, the blast wave from the Fire Release explosion blew the two hit Genin into large chunks of remains.
A blown-off eyeball even landed on a KonohaGenin.
Ugh~
Such a bloody scene made the young KonohaGenin immediately feel the urge to vomit.
Fortunately, Uchiha Hezi, who was nearby, was familiar with Uchiha Fucheng, the second young master of the clan leader's family.
She directly grabbed the other Genin and retreated cleanly and decisively.
The intensity of the current battle was no longer something that rookies like them, who could only vomit, could participate in.
Uchiha Hezi intended to take the other two and move away from the battlefield first.
Only in this way could the powerful Uchiha Fucheng fight the enemies without restraint.
Behind the Puppet Master, there was still one Sand NinjaGenin.
Uchiha Fucheng glanced at Misaka Mikoto, who was ready for action, and said in a tone devoid of emotion, "Leave that last Genin to you; I'm going to kill the escaping Chunin."
After saying this, Uchiha Fucheng widened his eyes and glared directly at the Puppet Master, who was in a defensive stance.
Then, without looking back, he rushed after the escaping Chunin.
"Huh? Me?!" Misaka Mikoto was a bit bewildered.
"Why did he leave?"
Misaka Mikoto had just breathed a sigh of relief from being hunted, only to see this younger brother of Uchiha Fugaku.
And then, there was no then!
He just dropped the Puppet Master and left on his own.
The slightly nervous Misaka Mikoto almost cried out.
"I don't think I can beat the Puppet Master; these puppets aren't conductive, and she doesn't fear Lightning Release."
Misaka Mikoto nervously gripped her short sword, watching the Puppet Master in front of her carefully.
She didn't expect that the Puppet Master would suddenly act like a madman, lunging to hug his own puppets.
The mechanisms in the chests of the two puppets instantly fired thousands of flying needles. After a terrifying series of thumping sounds, the Puppet Master turned a horrible, ghastly green from face to feet.
"Nani?!" Misaka Mikoto almost questioned her life.
Misaka Mikoto immediately dodged behind an Earth Style wall, fearing she would be accidentally hit by the poison-tipped needles flying everywhere.
Only then did she realize.
It turned out that when Uchiha Fucheng left, the Puppet Master had already been hit by a "lethal" Sharingan genjutsu!
The Puppet Master, controlled by the genjutsu, died just like that with his eyes wide open.
He probably died without ever knowing how he ended up dead by his own puppets' hands.
The remaining Land of WindGenin, looking like he had been scared out of his mind, turned and ran.
How could Misaka Mikoto let him get his way? She immediately activated Lightning Release and chased after him.
Misaka Mikoto's taijutsu ability, augmented by Lightning ReleaseChakra, far exceeded that of a Chunin.
The panicked Sand Ninja didn't run far before being struck hard in the center of his back by a sharp, electrified Kunai from Misaka Mikoto!
To prevent him from faking death, Misaka Mikoto used her maximum-power current to shock him a few times.
Only when he was completely still did she approach, panting, and carefully pull out the Kunai.
"Are you that poor? Why do you care so much about one Kunai?" Uchiha Fucheng's voice came abruptly from the side.
"On the battlefield, it's hard to determine if a corpse is truly dead or if it still has the ability to counterattack; it's best not to collect Kunai like this in the future."
"Ah?!" Misaka Mikoto turned around in a panic.
Seeing it was Uchiha Fucheng, she relaxed.
"I didn't hear any sound; I thought it was an enemy." Embarrassed, she put away the Kunai and looked at Uchiha Fucheng's right hand.
It was a head covered in sand and dirt.
Misaka Mikoto realized, "It seems to be the other Chunin; he probably died even faster than the Puppet Master."
"Uchiha Fucheng is just too amazing!"
Misaka Mikoto thought in shock, "The Puppet Master was also killed by Uchiha Fucheng. A Sand NinjaPuppet Master close to the level of a Special Jonin couldn't even block a single look from his Sharingan!"
Misaka Mikoto looked at Uchiha Fucheng with some admiration.
Although Misaka Mikoto was also from a branch family of the Uchiha Clan, she had only seen Uchiha Fugaku, the quasi-clan leader with the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
She had only seen elite clan members like Uchiha Fucheng, a Three TomoeJonin-level Ninja, in the Police Force.
"Uchiha Fucheng, my name is Misaka Mikoto. Thank you very much for your rescue."
Misaka Mikoto smiled gently and bowed to Uchiha Fucheng with full ceremony to express her gratitude.
"My mother is also a member of the Uchiha Clan. I have seen you at the compound before, and I know you are the younger brother of Young Clan Leader Uchiha Fugaku."
Her saying "My name is Misaka Mikoto" instantly stirred up a massive storm in Uchiha Fucheng's heart!
"Who?"
"You are Misaka Mikoto?!"
Uchiha Fucheng searched his memory; it seemed, perhaps, there really was such a distant relative in the Uchiha Clan.
Misaka Mikoto's mother was from the Uchiha Clan, and her father was the heir to the Earl of the Misaka family, nobility of the Land of Fire.
After her father died, she moved back to the Uchiha Clan with her mother.
There were even clan elders who specifically compiled detailed information on the young girls within the clan.
To choose for him and his brother Uchiha Fugaku. Both he and Uchiha Fugaku had seen the detailed profiles of these eligible girls from the clan.
Misaka Mikoto (Uchiha Mikoto)
Age: 14
Abilities: Fire Release, Lightning Release, Kenjutsu; currently a Chunin.
As an heir to the Uchiha Clan leader's lineage, Uchiha Fucheng's engagement and marriage would surely happen early.
He and his brother Uchiha Fugaku couldn't say they could pick just anyone, but at least the beautiful, eligible girls of the clan would be prioritized for the head of the family's lineage.
Uchiha Fucheng pondered, "Is this Misaka Mikoto actually Sasuke's mom?"
...
Uchiha Fucheng only had one thought in his heart now.
"Uchiha Mikoto, Sasuke's mom, her surname was Misaka before marriage? And she is called Misaka Mikoto?!"
[Follower marked, current follower value 75%]
The prompt in his mind almost made Uchiha Fucheng lose his composure.
He seemed to understand: the grand prize for the reborn new account that he couldn't use before, the method to use it was to give it to someone else!
That strange light orb with the lightning symbol was not a reward for him to use himself.
But it needed to be used on the qualified follower, Misaka Mikoto.
Uchiha Fucheng thought to himself, "75%, this value isn't too high."
It was lucky he had just saved her; otherwise, Misaka Mikoto's follower value towards Uchiha Fucheng would likely have been even lower.
"If I take Itachi and Sasuke's mom as my own followers, does that count as stealing from Uchiha Fugaku?"
Uchiha Fucheng's heart churned with some alternative thoughts.
