The one who stopped the enemy first.
It wasn't Uchiha Tekka, nor Uchiha Inaho, or Uchiha Yashiro.
These three Jonin of the Uchiha Clan didn't even manage to act in time.
Amidst the rolling smoke, the enemy, struck by the kunai, let out a painful scream before accelerating his escape.
Uchiha Tekka and the two others, once again, showed expressions of disbelief, looking at Uchiha Ryosuke.
Their eyes seemed to ask, what kind of kunai throwing technique is this, to be so powerful?
Only Uchiha Ryosuke himself knew that his kunai always hit their mark.
After throwing two more kunai to injure the opponent, Uchiha Ryosuke rushed into the smoke first.
"Wait!"
Seeing his reckless action, Uchiha Tekka quickly tried to stop him, but he was still a step too late.
Watching Uchiha Ryosuke disappear into the smoke, the three of them had no choice but to grit their teeth and follow.
Passing through the smoke, Uchiha Tekka and the two others immediately saw.
Uchiha Ryosuke rapidly formed hand signs, spitting a giant fireball at the fleeing enemy's back.
"Gōkakyū no Jutsu (Great Fireball Technique)!"
The three of them's pupils constricted slightly.
As soon as his voice fell, they saw the Gōkakyū released by Uchiha Ryosuke engulf the enemy.
Amidst the raging flames, the enemy let out a violent scream.
But this scream did not last for long.
Soon, the cries abruptly stopped.
Because Uchiha Ryosuke had already finished him off with a follow-up attack.
By the time Uchiha Tekka and the two others arrived behind him, he clapped his hands and turned around as if nothing had happened:
"Alright, the enemy is dealt with. We can continue with our original mission."
"Who taught you your kunai throwing technique?"
Uchiha Inaho couldn't help but ask.
"I practiced it myself. Isn't this the normal level for a Ninja? What, you can't do it?"
Uchiha Ryosuke retorted.
At this moment, Uchiha Inaho was momentarily speechless, opening his mouth as if to say something more.
But he was stopped by Uchiha Tekka.
"Alright, let's not talk about that for now."
"Let's execute the mission first!"
He gave Uchiha Ryosuke a deep look.
He had a new understanding of this clan member's strength, and gradually, his attitude changed.
After signaling his two other companions to prepare to continue towards the dock.
Uchiha Tekka then said to Uchiha Ryosuke again: "Next time we encounter an enemy, don't be so reckless."
"Your impulsive act of chasing through the smoke bomb just now was very dangerous. The enemy might have set up an ambush…"
"Understood, Senior."
Uchiha Ryosuke nodded, appearing very serious.
In fact, only he himself knew the situation just now.
Through his powerful sensory abilities, he had already confirmed that there was no danger behind the smoke, and the enemy could be easily captured.
Otherwise, how could Uchiha Ryosuke have chased directly?
A moment later, the four of them arrived at the seaside together.
Hidden behind a pile of rocks, they stealthily looked towards the dock, about a hundred meters away.
It was evident that fierce fighting had taken place here.
Whether in the forest by the shore or on the beach.
Numerous traces of battle were left behind, and the surroundings were a mess.
However, it was clear that the Hidden Mist Village forces had now regained control of this area.
So their ships could continue to land here without restraint, transporting combat units.
Not long after Uchiha Ryosuke and the three others arrived here.
They saw a ship sailing towards them from the distant sea.
Followed by a second, a third, a fourth… a total of six ships, transporting dozens of Kirigakure Ninja.
"These should be the Hidden Mist Village's support troops. We must inform the rear of the situation…"
Uchiha Inaho said in a low voice.
But at this moment, Uchiha Tekka glanced at the sky and shook his head:
"Our people already know. We don't need to worry about these guys; we are only responsible for destroying their ships!"
Hearing him say that, Uchiha Ryosuke also instinctively looked up at the sky.
His sharp gaze instantly spotted a small black dot slowly flying at an altitude of about two hundred meters.
His eyes were like a telephoto lens.
At this moment, they automatically focused, instantly magnifying the small black dot countless times.
Where ordinary eyes could only see a blurry image of a black dot.
At this very moment, in Uchiha Ryosuke's eyes, it transformed into a clear crow.
"Uchiha Shisui, huh…"
Seeing that crow, Uchiha Ryosuke immediately thought of that man.
The Ninja known throughout the Ninja World for his Body Flicker Technique and using crows as his summoning animals, Uchiha Shisui.
The appearance of the crow summoning animal here meant that Uchiha Shisui already knew the situation.
So those dozens of Kirigakure Ninja did not need them to deal with.
The four stopped talking, remaining motionless and quietly ambushed, waiting.
Soon, all six ships docked, and after mooring them by the shore.
Dozens of Kirigakure Ninja quickly flashed into the forest and disappeared.
After they left, Uchiha Yashiro said in a low voice:
"Let's go and use exploding tags to blow up all their ships!"
"Go!"
Uchiha Inaho immediately wanted to get up.
But just then, his shoulder suddenly sank, and he was directly pressed back down.
Uchiha Inaho immediately turned his head in surprise to look at Uchiha Ryosuke.
The other two also looked at him with similar confusion.
Uchiha Ryosuke shook his head and said in a low voice: "Don't rush."
The others didn't know what he was up to, and Uchiha Tekka frowned and said:
"The opportunity is fleeting. If we delay the mission and let these ships return, they can transport even more combat power to our side!"
Uchiha Yashiro also expressed some dissatisfaction, reminding him unhappily, "Ryosuke, what in the world are you doing?"
No sooner had they finished speaking than their ears twitched simultaneously.
Then, a chill ran through them, and they looked at each other at the same time.
From outside the pile of rocks, a questioning voice came: "Is no one here?
It seems those Konoha fellows haven't arrived yet, so we can retreat with peace of mind."
"Don't rush, let's leave them a little something good!
These ships are all old and don't need to be kept anymore.
We'll set up exploding tags arrays on the ships; maybe we can blow up a few Konoha Ninja!"
The conversation of the Hidden Mist Village enemies from outside made Uchiha Tekka, Uchiha Inaho, and Uchiha Yashiro's hearts chill again simultaneously.
At this moment, they finally understood why Uchiha Ryosuke had stopped Uchiha Inaho from acting earlier.
The three were once again shocked by the strength Uchiha Ryosuke displayed.
However, before they could express their admiration,
Suddenly, Uchiha Ryosuke had already leaped out of the ambush spot.
"Hey!! You… "
Seeing that Uchiha Ryosuke had ignored his previous warning and recklessly revealed himself to engage the enemy,
Uchiha Tekka immediately felt a headache and quickly followed him out...
