Several hours later, the thick mist formed by the Hidden Mist Technique gradually dissipated.
Uchiha Kamito took the life of the last Mist ninja.
Looking at the ground covered in black scorch marks, he felt quite satisfied.
It seemed that using a portion of oil as a medium really could extend the range of the Phoenix Sage Fire Jutsu.
Next time, he'd find Shiken to test whether the Fireball Jutsu could be modified the same way.
Compared to the scattered Phoenix Sage Fire Jutsu, the concentrated Fireball Jutsu clearly had greater killing power.
"Captain Kamito, the battlefield has been cleaned up. We've collected 324 Mist ninja corpses. Some may have escaped, but the vast majority have been wiped out."
"Eight hundred Uchiha can't catch a few hundred Mist ninja? Are you all useless?"
Uh… we won such a big victory without a single casualty. Shouldn't we be praised?
Uchiha Raiden thought to himself.
But he didn't dare say it out loud.
Uchiha Kamito's "personal guidance" was something else—if he didn't beat you, he'd disgust you to death instead.
"Forget it. You've learned the Hidden Mist Technique and Silent Killing Technique by now, right? Tomorrow, it's our turn to set up a mist field."
"Uh, Captain Kamito, how about more training today? Some of us might not manage it by tomorrow."
"Useless. You can't even learn such simple ninjutsu—are you worthy of being Uchiha?"
Uchiha Raiden and several squad leaders beside him didn't dare respond after being scolded.
You're strong, so whatever you say goes.
Hmph, this is just bullying. Which Uchiha doesn't specialize in Fire Release, kenjutsu, and the Sharingan?
And you keep talking about copying techniques with a two-tomoe Sharingan—what's that supposed to mean? We haven't even fully mastered our own ninjutsu and swordsmanship yet. On top of that, we still need to focus on genjutsu, which gets a huge boost from the Sharingan. With so much to learn, who has time to copy others' techniques?
The elders in the clan once said:
Knowing a bit of everything but mastering nothing makes you useless.
But they didn't dare say that to Captain Kamito.
After all, Uchiha Kamito was better than them in every aspect, and his newly learned techniques were always used to torment them.
Now, the younger generation of the Uchiha had started to follow his example—whenever they saw a ninjutsu, they wanted to imitate it; whenever they saw taijutsu, they wanted to imitate that too.
"Go back. Watch carefully. Learn properly."
"Yes, Captain Kamito."
After cleaning up the battlefield,
Uchiha Kamito led the main force back to the Konoha camp.
As they passed the defensive line, the Root ninja who had been knocked out by Uchiha Kamito earlier had already regained consciousness.
But after seeing the pile of Mist ninja corpses carried by the Uchiha, he chose to be wise and stepped aside, quietly making way without any further action.
Meanwhile, the other ninjas looked on with awe.
As expected of the Uchiha clan—so fierce. It looked like they returned with the exact same number of people as when they left this morning. They wiped out so many Mist ninja without a single loss. Incredible!!
On the way back,
Uchiha Kamito ran into Hyūga Hiyasu, who was also returning with his team.
Seeing the piles of corpses carried by each other's clan members, they exchanged a smile.
What a scheming bastard—coming up with such a vicious plan. Disgusting.
After meeting, the two headed straight for Danzō's main camp.
The moment they stepped inside the tent, several cold gazes fell upon Hyūga Hiyasu and Uchiha Kamito.
"Hmph. The two of you disobeyed orders on the battlefield, left camp without authorization, and now dare to barge into Konoha's command headquarters. You've got some nerve. Your crimes deserve death. Men, seize them."
Four figures darted forward, kunai in hand.
Just as they were about to capture the two, before Uchiha Kamito could even move,
Hyūga Hiyasu shifted his stance and moved with fluid agility, striking each of them with a single palm.
The four ninjas instantly bled from all seven orifices and died.
"Lingbo Microsteps? You actually mastered it? And what's that move called—Bone-Melting Palm?"
"Idiot, can you even talk properly? I'm such a positive guy—why would I use such a villainous name?"
"Then what's it called?"
"Soft Palm."
"What's the difference?"
"This is a righteous orthodox style, with proper roots."
"Can I learn it?"
"Sure. But do you want close combat?"
"Forget it. Being able to hit the enemy while they can't hit me—that's my ninja way as Uchiha Kamito."
These days, even liking cats and dogs can be called a ninja way.
Hyūga Hiyasu thought speechlessly.
"Outrageous! Are you trying to rebel?"
Danzō shouted angrily.
Outrageous—utterly outrageous. How dare they act like this in front of me?
Hiruzen is too soft. How did these ninja clans get so bold?
Hearing this, Uchiha Kamito and Hyūga Hiyasu exchanged a glance.
"Danzō-sama, stop pretending. Haven't you always wanted to wipe out our ninja clans? Why act now? You really lack backbone."
Uchiha Kamito said mockingly.
"Exactly. The four people I just killed should all be from the Ino-Shika-Chō clans, right? Treasured juniors in their families, yet you use them like tools. If you look down on ninja clans so much, then don't use us."
Hyūga Hiyasu said with a smile.
The Akimichi physique couldn't be hidden.
The Nara pineapple hairstyle was practically their identity.
As for the Yamanaka, their active mental energy was something ordinary people couldn't match.
As for the remaining one—though not built like an Akimichi, he must have undergone some kind of modification. There was plenty of metal inside his body. But in Konoha, besides the Akimichi clan, the only ones who used Yang Release chakra were the First Hokage and Tsunade.
If you, Shimura Danzō, can make those two your tools, then I, Hyūga Hiyasu, will kneel and be your tool immediately.
Danzō was momentarily speechless.
He wanted to refute it—but could he?
What was the success rate of civilian ninjas? What about clan ninjas? And those clan secret techniques?
The elimination rate in Root, plus over a hundred forbidden experiments—
If he relied only on civilian ninjas, he'd spend the entire year recruiting people and doing nothing else.
"Hmph. Ninja clans are a tumor of Konoha. One day, I will completely eradicate them."
"Ah yes, of course, Danzō-sama. You're absolutely right. By the way, lend us Aburame Tatsuma for a day."
Since they had already torn off all pretense, Uchiha Kamito didn't hesitate to ask.
Tatsuma trying anything funny? What a joke. Ever since fighting Aburame Shiken, Kamito had concluded that the entire Aburame clan were just tools.
"Hmph. My subordinate—why should he follow your orders?"
"Fine, if you won't lend him, forget it. It's just Aburame secret techniques. Even if I can't control them, I can still use them."
Uchiha Kamito turned to leave.
Hyūga Hiyasu quickly followed.
"Wait. Tatsuma, go with them and see what they're trying to do."
"Yes, Danzō-sama."
Behind Shimura Danzō, a figure dressed entirely in black, wearing dark sunglasses and carrying a large black sack, followed closely behind Uchiha Kamito and Hyūga Hiyasu.
"Stay away from me. Keep those bugs at least three meters away, or I'll kill you."
"Yeah, bugs are the most disgusting."
Uchiha Kamito and Hyūga Hiyasu took turns mocking Aburame Tatsuma.
Aburame Tatsuma: ??? If that's how you treat me, then why bring me along? Hah… men. Once they get what they want, they don't know how to cherish it anymore.
