Isn't this guy a Medical Ninja?
The intelligence should have recorded it like that, right.
Why is there no intel on that dark shadow ability at all?
Hakushi turned around, and the dark shadows swirling around his body disappeared, facing the mysterious ninja with a black mask and a pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan before him.
You could see that this mysterious Jonin Uchiha had a look of doubt and hesitation in his eyes.
"Though I'm sorry, tricks like Illusion Techniques are useless on me. Also, who are you? I don't think I've offended the Uchiha clan."
Hakushi looked at the Uchiha ninja in front of him with some confusion as the ninja launched a sneak attack on him.
He really didn't quite understand why the Uchiha Ninjas wanted to assassinate him.
The killing intent just now, and the Illusion Technique used on the maid, was obviously a serious move, not a joke.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
The ninja didn't answer Hakushi but attacked with Fire Style instead.
A massive Fireball rushed at him from the front, making the surrounding air scorchingly hot.
Hakushi sighed and scratched his head.
There's really no other way, what kind of situation is this?
As he scratched his head, shadows seeped out from the darkness, forming a pitch-black shield wall in front, deflecting the Fireball.
Behind Hakushi, the masked Uchiha Ninja appeared using Instantaneous Body Jutsu.
The Fireball Technique was just a feint; this was his true goal.
Though a simple method, it's effective in real combat.
Whether it was the execution of Ninja Techniques or timing, the opponent handled it perfectly.
However—
"Ah!"
A painful scream rang out.
Blood splattered.
Awaiting him at the front were countless Black Shadow Blades, and the Shadow Shield Wall adjusted direction, transforming into Shadow Blade attack, completed in just an instant.
That terrifying speed was such that even with Sharingan seeing the pattern, it couldn't keep up with the attack speed beyond human comprehension.
The Uchiha ninja's body was scraped all over and flew backward.
He tumbled onto the ground, leaving traces of blood on the floor.
"Did you... show mercy from the start?"
The speed of the Shadow Jutsu attack was such that even his Three-Tomoe Sharingan couldn't keep up.
Even though the Sharingan could see through the pattern of those shadow attacks, his neural reaction speed was far too slow.
This let him understand one thing, Hakushi had no intention of killing him from the start.
If he had wanted to kill him, during the first sneak attack, he would have been beheaded.
He thought at the time he relied on his swift reflexes, at the cost of a cut on his face, to retreat safely from the Shadow Blade attack.
If he had seriously used the Sharingan to observe, he could crack the Shadow Blade.
Unexpectedly, all of this was because the opponent showed mercy from the beginning.
"Let's say so. After all, this is an internal affair of your Uchiha Race, and I have no right to intervene."
Hakushi was troubled, not wanting to get involved in this muddy water.
Upon hearing Hakushi say that, the masked Uchiha ninja's body stiffened, already understanding who Hakushi's words were directed at, and he turned around.
In his vision, a girl with long black hair and an icy cold expression, displaying her pair of vibrant red Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
It's Ruri, who had just returned home after a patrol mission.
She hadn't expected her family's ninja to attempt to assassinate Hakushi at such a time.
If they were dissatisfied with him, they should have opposed them being together from the start.
Attempting assassination at this point gave Ruri a bad premonition.
The masked Uchiha Ninja looked only briefly at Ruri's Sharingan, his legs gave way as he knelt on the corridor floor.
Ruri walked over to him, slowly crouched down, and removed his mask, revealing an unsurprised expression.
"I hoped that my perception was wrong, but I didn't expect it to be you."
Uchiha Rika.
The personal guard of the radical faction leader of the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Shikora.
"Yes...I didn't expect your Sharingan's Illusion Technique to be so terrifying...just a moment and I'm caught..."
Even though they both had the same level Three-Tomoe Sharingan, in the instant of contact, his was completely defeated.
He himself was an Elite Jonin known for his Illusion Technique and Fire Style.
Yet, when faced with Ruri's Sharingan Donjutsu invasion, he had no power to resist and surrendered.
He had a sense that Ruri's Three-Tomoe Sharingan and his Three-Tomoe Sharingan had a nearly fundamental difference.
The overwhelming power already stood in another dimension, overlooking him.
Hakushi didn't look surprised, as he had known from the start that this was Uchiha Rika, guardian of Elder Shikora.
Because he memorized this Jonin Uchiha's Chakra, even with the mask, just sensing a bit made it possible to identify who he was.
"As expected... Elder Shikora was right, you're the future of the Uchiha. If you wield this power well... just kill me..."
Rika said with a resigned expression, showing only a willingness to die, struggling to express these words.
"I can't bear such praise. Can you tell me, what was your reason for doing this?"
Ruri fell silent.
Rika couldn't possibly make such a decision on his own to assassinate Hakushi, as only Elder Shikora could command him within the entire Uchiha Race.
