As dawn approached.
Uchiha Ryosuke, acting as temporary captain, led Hyuga Koji and Uzuki Sen to meet the Konoha forces that had come to support them.
What was surprising was that the person leading the team was Uchiha Fugaku, the current head of the Uchiha Clan.
After listening to Uchiha Ryosuke and the others explain the enemies they encountered last night and the process of the battle that broke out between them.
Uchiha Fugaku was greatly impressed by Uchiha Ryosuke's strength.
"Since we've met, you should rejoin the team, Ryosuke."
"As for you two, you can choose to continue following us to the front lines to fight, or you can return to the rear and rendezvous with other units. They are less than two kilometers behind us."
Uchiha Fugaku reminded Hyuga Koji and Uzuki Sen.
The two of them exchanged glances, then decided to return and rendezvous with the other teams.
Before leaving, they both walked towards Uchiha Ryosuke.
"Although I know these words are superfluous, I still want to thank you for saving us."
Hyuga Koji said.
"Me too, thank you for saving me, Ryosuke."
A strange light shone in Uzuki Sen's clear eyes as she looked earnestly into Uchiha Ryosuke's eyes.
"Live well."
Uchiha Ryosuke said to the two of them.
After they parted ways, Uchiha Ryosuke was assigned to a team with three other Uchiha Clan members.
They would act separately from the main force, heading to other areas of the battlefield for support.
They were Uchiha Tekka, Uchiha Inaho, and Uchiha Yashiro.
These three were all in their early twenties.
Their strength had already grown to Jonin level.
And they had all awakened their two-tomoe Sharingan.
Seeing that Uchiha Fugaku actually arranged for the three of them to team up with Uchiha Ryosuke, this previously unknown kid, they clearly felt disdain.
"So, you repelled the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist by yourself?"
Uchiha Yashiro sounded a bit skeptical.
"How many tomoe do your eyes have now?"
Uchiha Inaho couldn't help but ask.
Hearing the unfriendliness in their tone, Uchiha Ryosuke replied nonchalantly:
"I haven't awakened them yet. Repelling those guys was just good luck."
"I hope you all will take care of me from now on."
Upon hearing his words, the three immediately showed contempt in their eyes.
However, since they were all Uchiha Clan members and on the battlefield.
The three eventually said:
"Next, we'll be going directly to the front lines to clash head-on with the enemy. You must keep up with us."
"If we encounter strong enemies, don't try to be a hero; let us handle them.
I'll be the captain of the squad now. You should already know me, so I won't bother introducing myself."
"Let's go!"
It was Uchiha Tekka who spoke.
Uchiha Ryosuke didn't say much in response… Uchiha Ryosuke and the three rushed at full speed.
As day broke, they finally arrived at the eastern border of the Land of Fire.
"A few kilometers past the forest is the ocean."
"Our mission this time is to attack the enemy's landing dock.
To destroy their ships and cut off the Hidden Mist Village's troop logistics and supplies."
Uchiha Tekka repeated their mission once more.
The three people beside him all nodded simultaneously.
"Kid, remember to stick close to us. Don't try to be a hero."
Uchiha Inaho gently patted Uchiha Ryosuke's shoulder, reminding him.
No sooner had he spoken than Uchiha Yashiro suddenly dropped from a tree and made a hand gesture, warning them to be careful.
"A Hidden Mist Village combat squad just landed and is heading this way."
Upon hearing this, the others instantly became alert.
The four of them simultaneously leaped into the trees and concealed themselves.
Uchiha Ryosuke's perception spread out, and he immediately sensed the enemy's exact location and number.
That Hidden Mist Village combat squad also consisted of four people.
One captain plus three squad members.
At this moment, they were indeed rapidly advancing from the seaside into the forest, and their direction was towards them.
Judging by sound, he estimated their distance was still over a kilometer away.
Uchiha Ryosuke silently reached into his Ninjutsu tool pouch and pulled out four kunai.
"Should we set a trap and blow them up?"
Uchiha Yashiro suggested at this time.
"It's too late."
Uchiha Inaho shook his head.
Uchiha Tekka then said:
"One of them should be a Jonin team leader, and the strength of the other three is unknown. When the fight starts later, be extremely careful!"
As he spoke, they already saw the enemies enter the forest.
And it was at this moment that four kunai suddenly flew out simultaneously.
Three of them accurately hit three enemies with lightning speed, knocking them all down.
The last remaining kunai was blocked in time by the leading Kirigakure Ninja.
Startled by the sudden change,
Uchiha Tekka and the two others, shocked beyond belief, looked incredulously at Uchiha Ryosuke, who had made the move.
It took a few seconds for them to finally come back to their senses.
"That guy is indeed a Jonin!"
They temporarily suppressed the shock in their hearts regarding the strength Uchiha Ryosuke had displayed.
And turned their attention to the remaining enemy.
At this moment, that Hidden Mist Jonin also discovered their location, defensively brandishing his sword with caution, and questioned:
"Such impressive kunai! You must not be nobodies! May I ask who made that sneak attack?"
"Sneak attack? Heh heh…"
Uchiha Ryosuke revealed himself directly, meeting the opponent's gaze:
"The one who attacked you openly just now was your grandpa, Uchiha Ryosuke."
He pointed his thumb at himself.
"Uchiha Ryosuke?"
Upon hearing this, the opponent's pupils constricted slightly, and his gaze instinctively swept towards the three other people who had also appeared behind Uchiha Ryosuke.
Three Jonin, one Chunin.
After assessing the opponent's strength lineup, a cold sweat immediately appeared on the Hidden Mist Jonin's cheek.
But he didn't pay much attention to Uchiha Ryosuke's words.
How strong could a Chunin be?
He subconsciously assumed that one of the three Jonin had made the move just now.
"Uchiha Clan, our Hidden Mist Village will remember this."
"We will meet again!"
This Jonin from the Hidden Mist Village was not foolish; he knew he couldn't defeat Uchiha Ryosuke and the four others alone.
After dropping that line, he directly threw a smoke bomb.
With a "bang," he used the rising thick smoke to turn and escape.
"This guy is really cunning!"
Uchiha Tekka quickly moved to block him, leaping up to give chase.
However, three Shuriken immediately flew out from within the thick smoke.
Fortunately, he was prepared and dodged in time, otherwise he would have been killed on the spot.
Seeing that the enemy was about to successfully escape.
But just then, a muffled grunt came from the smoke ahead.
Immediately after, the three people saw Uchiha Ryosuke throw two more kunai forward.
