Chapter 23 - Ch-23 Leave The Rest To Us( Bonus Chapter)

The head Iwa Jonin smirked as the kunai punctured his stomach. Sharp pain coursed all over his body, yet the man didn't budge.

GRIP

His fingers held the arms of the Leaf Jonin who attacked him. He grunted as he brought him closer, pushing the kunai even further through his body."You... You all lose," he spoke, panting, certainty dripping from his voice.

The man he had sent to kill the young of the Leaf wasn't just a simple Jonin — a few more missions and he might have been promoted to Elite Jonin.

The only issue?

He depended too much on his armour, which, while good, was not as efficient against jutsus.

His eyes darted across the field, looking for the figure of his teammate...

His eyes widened as he looked around expectantly, Where?... Where is he? His form trembled.His lips cracked, his face grew more and more anxious by the second...

The man he had sent to kill the Leaf was nowhere.

What... His heart thumped in despair as he looked at the far corner of the field. A Leaf ninja stood there — his form too conspicuous to not notice.

Fiery red hair flung in the wind; he could sense the tiredness and exhaustion of the enemy. His eyes widened as he looked at the huge crater in the area.

He felt his stomach drop as he noticed how the chunin were staying clear of the area. That... That usually only happens when Jonins fight...

The pit in his stomach grew stronger and stronger with each passing second.He couldn't help but look into the eyes of his enemy — the Leaf Jonin who was sticking the kunai to his head....

The head Leaf Jonin pushed the kunai even further, finally bringing an end to the Iwa ninja.A satisfied smile erupted on his face —

PUCHI

He stabbed him twice for good measure before spitting on his downed body. Turning back, he spoke with authority, "What was this guy looking at? Did something happen?"

The Jonin who had been helping him throughout the battle nodded. Finally relaxing a bit, he replied, "There, sir," he said, pointing at the place where the conspicuous Leaf ninja stood.

The head Jonin gazed deeply at the man. "Mhmm? So what did he do?" His curiosity was rising.

"I had an eye on the field for a while, sir. The Jonin that had been fighting us had gone over terrorizing the lesser ranks," his eyes narrowed with hatred, "however, that man alone stood against him — and even took him down," his voice lit up with surprise and newfound excitement.

The head Jonin raised an eyebrow. Alone? I could swear that man wasn't some simple Jonin, yet this man defeated him? A small smile rang on his face.

The Leaf — it always brimmed with talent....

Kyojiro panted like a dying horse. He deactivated his breathing style; his veins burned like someone had poured molten lead down them.

His muscles ached, almost as if someone had stretched them like tight ropes.I need... he could barely form a thought, Need to protect the others... His vision hazy, his thoughts cloudy...

Yet he turned, despite his body protesting against it all.The memories of Rengoku weren't just a cheat in the world, Those are ideals of a man beyond any... His blood coursed as he took another step.

Yet before he could walk further, his legs gave up under him. "Urghh," he grunted.However, before he could fall —

SWOOSH

Two strong hands grabbed him beneath his armpits, lifting him up without struggle. Huh? Kyojiro's eyes sharpened despite the pain. He tried to turn around; however, a calm voice resounded beside him.

"You have done enough, young man — leave the rest to us old-timers." The voice, gruff and serious, showed years of experience.

Kyojiro turned around only to find the head Jonin laying him down. He immediately understood the aftermath of the battle. Relief spread through his body; his shoulders sagged, and a small, exhausted smile lit up his face.

Let's... go.

And the very next second, he fell unconscious....

FLIP

FLIP

Hiruzen Sarutobi lifted the papers off his desk, his eyes shining with calculation and intelligence.He thought of the situation in the Leaf — the Land of Fire was in an era of turmoil.

Good thing I am quite experienced in this... Hiruzen remained pensive, his mind working overtime. He had heard from the spies he'd planted in other nations.

War is upon us... his brows creased.

In front of him lay a full map of the entire continent — pawns spread all across different areas, showing the camps and bases of the Leaf.His eyes suddenly focused on one such base, marked in red.

The one we had lost... his eyes drooped. The news is yet to come. The attack team hopefully accomplishes their objective.

His face hardened. We cannot afford a loss so soon in the war.

TINGLE

TINGLE

Hearing the sound of the bells, his eyes turned upward — overlooking the man who had just entered.A clerk, or attendant, so to say.

Brown hair, a saggy face... yet Hiruzen had seen him as a child once. When he was in Tobirama's elite team, this child roamed around him like a fanboy.

A small smile lit up on his face, thinking about the memories.

"Sir?" the man spoke, unsure.

Cough. Hiruzen cleared his throat, prompting the man to speak.

"Here is the report of the attack team," his face lit up. "Sir, they have successfully secured the base."

Hiruzen's eyes widened. He immediately asked for the report — his eyes darting around the text. The attack formations, the second phase, the battle with the Jonins... and finally, one last note.

What?... Hiruzen blinked twice. Kyojiro Uchiha killed a Jonin?

He exhaled the breath he was holding, his nerves calming down in a second before a small smile lit up on his face. "Well done. You can go now."

The man nodded before exiting the room.

Meanwhile, Hiruzen looked at the last phrase with renewed intensity. Kyojiro Uchiha... I think I might have more use for him than I initially thought.
