Chapter 35 Departure (New book, please collect and recommend~)
"Is this… Chidori?"
Uchiha启 kept leaping through the trees, looking at what Kakashi called a gift in his hand.
For a Ninja, looking at things while moving was perfectly normal, because sometimes you had to gather intelligence while in motion. Having been on the battlefield for so long, Uchiha启 naturally had no problem doing this.
What Uchiha启 hadn't expected was that Kakashi would give him the Chidori, leaving Uchiha启 at a loss for words.
Uchiha启 did indeed lack some decisive Ninjutsu, lacking a technique that could forcefully break through an enemy's defenses.
His Mangekyo's ability was very strong, truly very strong. Although the consumption was also terrifying, this thing really had the effect of deciding a battle.
Unfortunately, to some extent, this ability could only be seen as an auxiliary ability at this stage.
Furthermore, this ability was currently a 'non-renewable resource,' and Uchiha启 dared not mess around and blind himself.
It was for this reason that Uchiha启 picked up a ninja blade from a Stone Ninja's corpse. Although the material of the blade was similar to a Kunai, when it came to sharpness, Uchiha启 still preferred to trust the blade.
There was also an important reason: a blade was much longer than a Kunai!
Previously, when he secretly used his Sharingan, he could only choose to get close with a Kunai, which reduced the chance of exposure.
But now that Uchiha启 dared to use his regular Sharingan, he naturally had to ensure his own greater safety.
However, just as Uchiha启 had decided to use blade techniques, Kakashi turned around and gave him the scroll containing his insights into practicing Chidori, which suddenly put Uchiha启 in a difficult position.
Couldn't you have given it to me earlier?
Now, Uchiha启 didn't seem to have the time to learn this Ninjutsu. Uchiha启 knew that Kakashi probably meant for him to learn it later, simply put, he wanted him to return alive.
This was a good blessing, but holding this item, how could Uchiha启 not be tempted?
Taking a deep breath, Uchiha启's rationality still suppressed those unrealistic thoughts.
Silently putting away the scroll, Uchiha启 looked up at Minato Namikaze: "Thank Kakashi for me."
"You should thank him yourself." Minato Namikaze shook his head: "Have some confidence, no matter the outcome, I will bring you all back."
Hearing this, Uchiha启 completely relaxed. This was the guarantee he had been waiting for!
Imai Kenta also raised an eyebrow, but he didn't say a word, instead once again showing that harmless smile.
Why follow Minato Namikaze?
Besides him being truly super strong, he could also bring Uchiha启 and the others back to the Konoha position!
Uchiha启 had initially been somewhat envious of Hyuga Aya, but now Uchiha启 no longer thought about that woman; he might even return with some honor.
Although Uchiha启 had always considered honor to be the most useless thing, because he only wanted to survive, and for that, he had done many outrageous things.
But with his life safe, Uchiha启 could also consider such things; this was thinking about the future.
If Uchiha启 truly became the sole 'Sharingan hero,' then Uchiha启's status in Konoha would naturally implicitly increase, and even 'a hero with three Sharingan' wouldn't be bad!
Of course, correspondingly, Uchiha启 would also receive more attention from Konoha's higher-ups.
But so what?
At that time, the Third Hokage was resigning due to responsibility and was also troubled by Orochimaru's affairs.
Danzo, on the other hand, would seize this opportunity to realize his Hokage dream. This was a transitional period, so even if someone paid attention to Uchiha启, the intensity wouldn't be too great.
By the time they were done, Uchiha启 might have already thoroughly studied his Mangekyo.
Although the Fourth Hokage had accepted Jiraiya's beliefs, and one of his disciples was a member of the Uchiha Clan, unfortunately, he died too early.
Moreover, the newly appointed Fourth Hokage didn't have the chance to consolidate his power, otherwise Orochimaru wouldn't have bluntly said that the Fourth Hokage was merely the Third Hokage's puppet.
If not for the Nine-Tailed Fox Incident, the Uchiha Clan might have taken a different path in the future, or rather, if the Fourth Hokage hadn't died during the Nine-Tailed Fox Incident.
As Uchiha启 was thinking about these random things, Minato Namikaze suddenly raised his hand, signaling them to stop.
Uchiha启 immediately became alert, but he inwardly chastised himself for being careless.
Standing beside a strong person indeed brought a sense of security; otherwise, Uchiha启 wouldn't have had so many distracting thoughts in his mind. Concentrating his Chakra, Uchiha启 also activated his Sharingan.
Uchiha启's Chakra recovery was quite average, but he also possessed a certain level of combat power.
"Quite a few targets ahead." Minato Namikaze placed one hand on the ground and sensed for a while before whispering: "Most of the Chakra strengths are average, but there are also a few with decent Chakra strength. It's uncertain whether they are Shadow Clones or real people."
"It seems we're not far from our objective." Uchiha启 pulled out a map and glanced at it: "Captain Namikaze, do you have any intelligence on our opponents?"
"Sorry, I don't know either. Also, just call me Minato." Minato Namikaze shook his head: "We might be the first and only Konoha Ninja to enter here. We can only adapt to the situation now."
"I understand." Uchiha启 took a deep breath and slowly drew the ninja blade from his waist: "In that case, let's fight as soon as possible. Kenta and I will clear the outer Ninja, and the rest is up to you, Captain Minato, how about it?"
Minato Namikaze nodded. Although Uchiha启's approach seemed a bit presumptuous, he didn't mind.
Moreover, this was also the plan he had in mind. Those guys with decent Chakra strength were probably just some Jonin.
Although Minato Namikaze was modest, his strength had indeed reached a level where he could easily deal with many Jonin.
And those guys with average Chakra strength would be better handled by Uchiha启's team. They were old teammates, and their coordination would surely be no problem.
Minato Namikaze would never know that he was actually mistaken. He had already pulled out a Kunai and taken a deep breath.
The next moment, that terrifying Body Flicker Technique was displayed. In an instant, he disappeared from Uchiha启 and Kenta's sight.
Uchiha启 and Imai Kenta exchanged glances, and they also quickly followed. They were now very close to completing their mission, and what they needed to do now was to accelerate the end of this mission!
"You left, me right?" After Minato Namikaze had completely left, Uchiha启 tilted his head and proactively suggested.
"Hmm, you're the captain, you decide." Imai Kenta smiled and nodded without refusing.
"Then, let's go."
"Okay, Captain."
