Uchiha Inaho's words immediately received agreement from Uchiha Tekka and Uchiha Yashiro.
They also believed that it was unlikely for the enemy to pass through there, unless they were suicidal.
After all, the main forces of the Uchiha Clan that had come to support the battlefield were gathered in that direction.
"How many Jonin are in the main force?"
Uchiha Ryosuke suddenly asked back.
This question stumped all three of them.
For a moment, the three looked at each other, unable to answer.
"What are you trying to say, Ryosuke?"
Uchiha Tekka frowned, asking suspiciously.
In truth, he already had the answer in his heart.
Sure enough, Uchiha Ryosuke chuckled lightly:
"You actually know the answer.
On the battlefield, whether it's Chunin or Genin from either side, they will be utterly defeated and powerless to resist when they encounter a Jonin from the opposing side."
"To put it bluntly, they are cannon fodder, even if they are Uchiha."
"What are you talking about! What cannon fodder?"
Uchiha Inaho obviously didn't like hearing those words.
He quickly stopped Uchiha Ryosuke.
However, the latter completely ignored him and continued to speak in his own way:
"Cannon fodder facing enemy Jonin will only find death."
"So, what you call 'main forces,' in the eyes of the elite powerhouses on the Hidden Mist Village side, are simply lambs waiting to be slaughtered."
"Now do you still think the enemy wouldn't dare to attack that side?
What if it's someone like the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?"
Uchiha Ryosuke's repeated questions again left the three speechless.
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist could indeed slaughter ordinary Uchiha Clan members.
They knew very well that many clan members had not yet awakened their Sharingan.
Even if they had awakened their Sharingan, the power of a single tomoe was very limited.
It was not enough for them to fight against powerful Jonin with rich combat experience from the enemy side.
Just as the three were rendered speechless by Uchiha Ryosuke's questions,
and didn't know how to answer, Uchiha Ryosuke had already led the way towards that direction.
He said so much simply because he didn't want to find excuses to explain too much.
His powerful perception ability, for now, was better kept to himself.
Soon, Uchiha Ryosuke and the other three approached the battlefield.
At this moment, even without using powerful perception,
they could already clearly hear the sounds of intense fighting coming from the distant forest.
"Rumble rumble" muffled sounds rose and fell.
It wasn't limited to the sounds of exploding tags or Ninjutsu explosions.
There were also some movements like heavy objects rolling over the ground.
A strong smell of blood quickly spread through the forest.
The dense, lush primeval forest became a natural barrier, preventing the smell of blood from dissipating upwards.
Noticing these anomalies, Uchiha Tekka and the other two looked very grim.
This was not only because Uchiha Ryosuke's judgment was correct,
but also because, at this very moment, it was their Uchiha Clan members who were under attack.
Facing heavy casualties among their clan members, how could the three of them remain calm?
For a moment, even Uchiha Tekka, who was the captain,
suddenly drew the short sword from his back and accelerated towards the battlefield.
After the four quickly passed through several large trees, they immediately saw a scene like a living hell before their eyes.
On both sides, hundreds of Ninja were fighting fiercely.
Countless people lay scattered on the ground, some wounded, some already dead.
As the battle continued, people kept falling.
The combat power deployed by the Hidden Mist Village was clearly stronger than that of the Uchiha Clan.
At this point, it was clearly visible that the Uchiha Clan members were retreating steadily, and casualties were continuously increasing.
Strangely, Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Shisui, and other prominent powerhouses of the Uchiha Clan were not present here.
After Uchiha Tekka, Uchiha Inaho, and Uchiha Yashiro, the three Jonin, arrived,
they immediately joined the battle.
Uchiha Ryosuke, however, did not immediately participate.
He observed the battlefield and heard some sounds.
"Zemeizi!! Zemeizi!!"
A man cried out, holding the cold, blood-soaked corpse of a woman who had died.
Both of them bore the Uchiha Clan crest, indicating they were also Uchiha Clan members.
After a period of desperate and grief-stricken crying, the man's eyes suddenly turned completely red.
Immediately after, Chakra surged wildly within him.
"Ah—"
He clutched his eyes, roaring in pain and anger.
A moment later, when he opened his eyes again,
those originally dark eyes had turned crimson.
His dark pupils had transformed into the shape of a single-tomoe Sharingan.
"Awakened due to excessive grief, huh…"
Seeing such a scene, Uchiha Ryosuke felt a sense of understanding.
It was at this moment that the system's notification sound indeed rang in his head.
[Ding! You witnessed the death of an Uchiha Clan member, and a clan member awakened their Sharingan before your eyes, comprehending the Three-Tomoe Sharingan!]
[The Three-Tomoe Sharingan possesses powerful observation, copying, and hypnotism abilities. The wielder can also directly observe the target's Chakra flow, cast genjutsu on targets, see through genjutsu… copy taijutsu and non-Bloodline Limit Ninjutsu, and can evolve into a higher form under certain conditions, awakening more abilities.]
"I didn't expect that merely by watching, I would also awaken… and directly to the Three-Tomoe."
Uchiha Ryosuke looked again at the man who, heartbroken by his lover's sacrifice, had awakened a single-tomoe Sharingan in anger, feeling a mix of amusement and helplessness.
At this moment, Uchiha Tekka's voice came.
"What are you still standing there for! Kill the enemy!"
Hearing the voice, Uchiha Ryosuke turned his head and saw that the battle had become very fierce.
Even with the addition of Uchiha Tekka and the two other Jonin, they were still no match for the enemies from Hidden Mist Village.
The opponents were not only numerous but also included multiple Jonin.
That's why they were able to make their side retreat steadily.
"Let me try the power of these eyes."
Uchiha Ryosuke thought, and with a thought, the Advanced Body Flicker Technique was activated.
In a blink, he appeared before an enemy.
That enemy was swinging his sword at an Uchiha Clan member.
Suddenly seeing a grinning young man appear before him,
he was momentarily stunned.
The long sword he was swinging in mid-air also briefly paused.
It was in this instant that the opponent saw the crimson Three-Tomoe Sharingan in the young man's eyes.
Suddenly, this Hidden Mist Jonin seemed to be possessed.
He turned and swung his sword at his own comrade.
"Pfft," went the sword.
The other Kirigakure Ninja, who had seen Uchiha Ryosuke appear and intended to support his comrade,
didn't expect to be slashed by his own comrade as soon as he landed.
The blow struck him in a vital spot.
With an expression of incredible shock, he slowly fell, dying on the spot…
