Chapter 37 Clearing the Scene (New book, please collect and recommend~)
With the ultimate dynamic vision of his Sharingan, Uchiha启 nimbly dodged the last Rock Ninja's desperate attack, then ended his life.
Sighing, Uchiha启 still felt a slight tremor in his heart as he looked at the eight motionless figures lying on the ground.
Especially the scent of blood spreading through this area made Uchiha启 feel disgusted, but Uchiha启 had no sympathy for these Rock Ninja.
Being in the center of war meant either death or victory, and Uchiha启 had long since become numb to it. While he wasn't a psychopath who found joy in it, he certainly didn't dislike the feeling either.
"Life is too fragile. You can consider yourselves liberated," Uchiha启 muttered to himself, then sighed and pulled out another military ration pill.
This was already the third military ration pill he had taken within twenty-four hours. Although Uchiha启 was reluctant, he had no other choice.
Fortunately, while this military ration pill had some side effects, they were as minor as its effects, almost negligible. Uchiha启 would not be picky now.
Sheathing his ninja blade, Uchiha启 no longer spared a glance for the dead Rock Ninja, turning and running towards Imai Kenta's position.
Minato Namikaze's battle should be nearing its end; he might even have started helping Uchiha启 and the others clear out these average Rock Ninja.
Imai Kenta's situation, however, was somewhat unknown. Although Uchiha启 didn't care at all about Imai Kenta's life or death, having an extra person at this time meant an extra bit of strength.
Especially since Imai Kenta's recovery ability was very strong, and his condition was the best among the two of them. Uchiha启 felt that he really needed this guy's strength.
After running about five hundred meters to his left, Uchiha启 began to notice bodies on the ground. A quick check revealed that these bodies all shared a common characteristic.
Similar to the Rock Ninja he had killed, they all had fatal blade wounds.
However, unlike Uchiha启, who killed almost every Rock Ninja with a single strike, the situations of these bodies were different.
Some were killed with a single strike, clearly indicating a sneak attack, while others sustained fatal injuries after a struggle.
Following these bodies, Uchiha启 tracked them, and coincidentally, Imai Kenta suddenly appeared from behind a large tree, rushing directly towards several Rock Ninja not far away.
His speed was like a streak of light; in an instant, he had already arrived in front of the Rock Ninja, unleashing a lightning-fast strike that gave the Rock Ninja no time to react.
The Rock Ninja didn't even have time to pull out his Kunai before he completely bid farewell to this world.
"Watch out!" At this moment, the warnings from the other Rock Ninja barely rang out.
Unfortunately, Imai Kenta showed no hesitation after his attack. His ninja blade swung out again, instantly killing the Rock Ninja who had called out the warning.
Killing two Rock Ninja at once immediately startled the remaining Rock Ninja. They quickly drew their weapons and began to guard against Imai Kenta, who at this moment temporarily halted his steps.
Uchiha启 watched this scene. Clearly, a sneak attack was no longer possible; what followed would be a struggle between Imai Kenta and these two Rock Ninja.
"Consider yourself lucky. I didn't expect that since taking on this mission, I'd become addicted to saving people."
Uchiha启 chuckled self-deprecatingly. Since entering the battlefield, Uchiha启 had been an extremely selfish individual. Not killing his teammates was already a great act of kindness.
Of course, Uchiha启 had indeed made teammates shield him from Ninjutsu before. In that almost certain death situation, Uchiha启 had no choice.
As for saving people, Uchiha启 had only done so out of necessity because of this damned mission.
Konoha Ninja would probably never believe that Uchiha启, who had rescued so many prisoners behind enemy lines, was actually such a person, would they?
Thinking this, Uchiha启 directly threw two Kunai. The Rock Ninja, who were facing Imai Kenta as if facing a formidable enemy, were like startled birds, not even looking as four Kunai flew from their hands to meet his Kunai.
Imai Kenta's sneak attack just now had clearly left them traumatized. When another person suddenly appeared, they could only react hastily, evidently fearing that Imai Kenta would launch another sneak attack while their attention was divided.
What they absolutely didn't expect, however, was that the person they were about to face was even better at sneak attacks than Imai Kenta!
Seizing the moment the Rock Ninja threw their Kunai, Uchiha启 suddenly erupted. Even without using the Body Flicker Technique, his speed was by no means slow!
By the time Uchiha启's Kunai collided with the Rock Ninja's Kunai in mid-air, Uchiha启 had already arrived beside this Rock Ninja.
This Rock Ninja was no fool; almost instinctively, he swung the Kunai in his hand. However, facing the Sharingan, his speed was not only slow, but even the trajectory of his attack was seen clearly by Uchiha启!
"Ah!"
A distorted scream rang out. This Rock Ninja was killed instantly by Uchiha启's blade!
This terrifying scene deeply stimulated the last Rock Ninja. Although subtle, Uchiha启 clearly saw that his hand, clutching the Kunai, had begun to tremble.
Uchiha启 silently shook his head. He didn't need to see the Rock Ninja's fate, because Imai Kenta had also arrived behind this guy when Uchiha启 launched his attack.
"Thank you for the rescue, Captain." Imai Kenta flicked the blood from his blade, a harmless smile on his face that appeared exceptionally sincere.
However, his current appearance in this place, reeking of blood like an Asura's battlefield, looked truly bizarre.
"Of course I have to rescue you. Otherwise, who would shield me from Ninjutsu?" Uchiha启 also sheathed his blade. "Is everything taken care of?"
"Mostly," Imai Kenta didn't dwell on Uchiha启's words, maintaining his sincere smile. "Aside from not knowing how many Jonin Namikaze helped us eliminate, I think it should be about the same."
Clearly, this guy had also noticed the commotion Minato Namikaze had caused earlier. He must have dealt with his enemies.
And if he had dealt with his enemies but still hadn't appeared, there was only one explanation—he had conveniently gone to deal with some other Rock Ninja that Uchiha启 and his team hadn't had time to handle.
Minato Namikaze might even have used his exceptional speed and the Flying Thunder God Technique to scout ahead.
Uchiha启 nodded, then suddenly turned to look behind him. At some point, Minato Namikaze had appeared there like a ghost!
The Flying Thunder God Technique truly lived up to its reputation as one of the most terrifying and bizarre Ninjutsu in the Hokage world. It was simply invincible for assassination and sneak attacks!
"Qi-kun, I've found the target." Minato Namikaze spoke without any unnecessary words. "But it might be troublesome."
