Chapter 31 - I usually don’t laugh unless I can’t help it

What is he laughing at?

Uchiha Hikoichi was very surprised.

No matter how you look at it, he should have the upper hand now.

"Are you scared silly?" He frowned in confusion, intending to step forward and end the man's life.

He was afraid that if he delayed too long, he might attract pursuit from the three clans.

As a result, he had just taken two steps when he suddenly heard a familiar laugh.

"Hahahaha." The voice was full of sarcasm.

A ninja's five senses are so sharp, how could Kyosuke's undisguised voice be hidden from Uchiha Hikoichi?

"It's you?!" He was shocked and angry.

Perhaps Yamori could never have imagined that the one who came to kill his own people tonight would be another deputy commander, Uchiha Kyosuke.

In addition to the feeling of disbelief, he even felt a little aggrieved.

Yes, he has targeted me countless times, both openly and covertly.

But that's normal. It's a fight for power, and that's how everyone plays it.

He was constantly exerting pressure, but to be fair, Uchiha Yūhi never thought of letting the other party die from beginning to end.

Otherwise, with his power, he would have had many opportunities to secretly harm Kyosuke in the past.

Unexpectedly, my indulgence would lead to such a result.

As smart as he is, he has already guessed the deal between Kyosuke and Nara.

That kind of miraculous Jikūkan Ninjutsu is enough to ensure that the young man can enter and exit the enemy camp unimpeded.

"He really has evil intentions." This was his evaluation.

Covering the wound on his abdomen, Kyosuke managed to sit up, spit out a mouthful of blood, and then greeted the other person with a smile: "Yo, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."

What a coincidence!

Yamori didn't want to waste time talking to him. Since the other person was deliberately trying to kill him, then don't blame him for being cruel.

The Uchiha genius, which is rare in a thousand years, is going to die in his hands today. Thinking about it carefully, he actually felt a twisted pleasure in his heart.

"Remember, be more careful in your next life." He said as he prepared to take action.

"Heh." Unexpectedly, Kyosuke sneered again: "Captain Yamori, is this your last words?"

When the word "last words" was mentioned, the voice appeared directly next to his ears.

Puff! The kunai pierced deeply into the enemy's abdomen, almost exactly the same place as the one he was injured in.

"Does it hurt?"

Kyosuke asked with a sneer as he dodged the enemy's counterattack.

"How could this be..." Uchiha Yūhi widened his eyes and had no time to think.

The next second, the same scene happened again.

Blood splattered everywhere, and the deputy commander of the Southern Division fell in a pool of blood like a stray dog.

"Can't figure it out, right?" Facing the enemy's eager gaze, Kyosuke smiled and pointed to a certain place on his abdomen.

Using his last bit of strength to lower his head, a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in Uchiha Hikoichi's eyes. He finally knew why he had failed.

[System prompt: Kill the Uchiha clan's Jōnin and gain 3850 points.]

points: 5166.

"The rewards for being a Jōnin are still very generous." Kyosuke sighed silently, and used a fire escape to submerge the opponent's body.

His purpose in the previous adventurous approach was not to kill the enemy, but to carve the spatial coordinates on the enemy.

If the imprint is successful, as long as the opponent is not in high-speed movement, he can launch an attack at any time and anywhere.

It is equivalent to handing the enemy a death invitation.

Below the patriarch level, it is almost impossible to make an effective response instantly.

The only pity is that marking with Hiraishin no Jutsu cannot be used as a conventional method.

Avoid clothes and directly touch the enemy's body. If you have that much effort, you might as well stab the enemy to death with a kunai.

Unless you risk your life at the risk of being seriously injured like today, it would be difficult to get such a good opportunity.

If the information is leaked, the chances of marking Hiraishin no Jutsu will be even slimmer, and many people would rather be stabbed than let him succeed.

After he destroyed the scene and disposed of Uchiha Hikoichi's body, he used Hiraishin no Jutsu to leave.

About ten minutes...

"Hurry, there are signs of fighting ahead." The pursuers arrived.

Akimichi Daikō was in charge of this hunt. To be honest, he hadn't felt so good in a long time.

It was a shame that the enemy leader had escaped, but being able to completely annihilate the Uchiha forces was enough to restore their reputation, which had plummeted to the bottom.

"Report, report to the clan leader." The clan member in charge of investigating the scene quickly brought him a piece of news.

"What did you say?" Akimichi Daikō pushed his subordinates away and came to the charred corpse in three or two steps.

After careful identification, he was delighted to find that the nameless charred corpse lying here was indeed Uchiha Hikoichi himself.

He didn't want to think about the details, he just wanted to take the body back to claim credit.

With this achievement, his position as the leader of the Akimichi clan was secured.

As for Uchiha's revenge, he didn't want to care about it at all now.

Since we are all preparing to escape, who cares whether we hate each other or not?

Soon, the news spread far and wide.

Both the enemy and us knew about this.

...

Uchiha Camp.

Bang!

The division commander smashed the teacup with great force, trying hard to suppress his laughter while maintaining his poor acting skills as much as possible.

"Nara Shikaku...Pfft, he's so...so abominable."

He pinched his thigh hard and managed to suppress his smile.

After calming down, Uchiha Rei gave the order "angrily".

"We must seek revenge. The Uchiha blood must not be shed in vain!"

He ordered the seriously injured Kyosuke to stay behind in the camp, and he personally led the team to set out, determined to completely resolve the chaos in the southern border once and for all.

After today, the Southern Territory will become the place where Uchiha Rei has the final say.

It's really exciting to think about it.

"Hahahaha." When there was no one around, the elder finally couldn't contain his excitement.

Hearing the laughter coming from the tent, several troop leaders looked at each other and ignored the boss's laughter as if they were deaf and dumb.

As for Kyosuke...

He wasn't present at all for the farce.

Just keep the details of what happened to you all tacitly. I need to rest and I won't play along with you anymore.

Uchiha Rei holds great power, which means that he has completely established his position as second only to the emperor.

Not to mention being a loner, even if he went to Uchiha Hikoichi's grave to dance, no one would dare to say anything to him.

Uchiha Rei covets the position of clan leader and needs to maintain his image all the time, but he doesn't need all that and can just do whatever he wants.

Soon, half a month passed by.

The three powerful families that once dominated the southern border of the Land of Fire withdrew from the conflict one after another and moved their entire clans to the Land of Lightning, where they found a place to recuperate.

It can be said that it has completely withdrawn from the competition.

At that time, the Senju clan began a crazy revenge, obviously very dissatisfied with the Uchiha's behavior.

Under the siege of the Senju clan and the Uzumaki clan, the Uchiha clan on the front battlefield was defeated.

He was even forced into a desperate situation at one point.

When there was no way to retreat, clan leader Tajima finally swallowed his pride and hoped that Uchiha Rei's Southern Division could rush to the main battlefield to support it.

The division commander, aware of the seriousness of the situation, did not take the opportunity to make threats.

With a wave of his hand, he directly dispatched 200 available combat forces, led by the deputy commander Kyosuke, to go to the heart of the Land of Fire to fight a decisive battle with the Senju.

Including his own direct troops, a total of 253 ninjas are controlled by Kyosuke.

"Senju clan, I can finally meet you."
