Naruto: Nawaki was already dead, how could you bring him back to life?

Under the cover of the poisonous fog, Chiba produced a specially made kunai, the handle of which was wrapped with some transparent powder.

"Watch out, another hidden weapon!" a Konoha ninja shouted.

Another poison sac came flying at Chiba. He seized the opportunity and threw his kunai straight at the poison sac in mid-air.

Bang!

The poison sac exploded, and with Chiba's "addition," a purple mushroom cloud instantly bloomed, covering an area two or three times larger than before!

"Holy crap? That's some serious force?!"

Even the Iwa ninja who released the poison sac was stunned by the rising mushroom cloud.

No, are you Sunagakure people crazy? You invented this thing just to make enemies indiscriminate and perish together, right?

The Iwa ninja were unaware that the poisonous fog was merely intimidating; in reality, its toxicity had been greatly diluted, to the point of being negligible.

"Cough cough, help! I'm going to die, cough cough!"

Under Chiba's precise strike, the portly communications officer was also enveloped in the poisonous fog.

He coughed violently and frantically begged for help from those around him, completely unaware that he was not poisoned at all.

Whoosh!

In his panic, he didn't even notice that a shuriken was flying silently along the ground, instantly slicing past his exposed ankle.

puff.

Another corpse was added to the battlefield, like a drop of water falling into a river, without even causing a ripple.

"He really is just an idiot."

Chiba shook his head inwardly before feigning panic and running out of the poisonous fog, reuniting with Kosuke and Nawaki.

"Look, it's those three people!"

"Kill them, and bring their heads back for the bounty!"

As the battlefield grew increasingly chaotic, more and more Iwa ninja rushed to the rear of Konoha. When they saw the faces of Chiba and the other two, their eyes lit up instantly.

A bounty of several million taels is a considerable income even for a Jonin!

"You'd better see if you have the ability to take my head!" Rope Tree yelled.

Chiba, while stabbing someone in the heart, painfully questioned, "I didn't want to kill anyone! Why are you forcing me? Why are you forcing me!"

Old Master Gu Jie, on the other hand, was ruthless and taciturn, baring his teeth and snarling as he slaughtered indiscriminately.

Despite their apparent weakness in front of Onoki, the three of them together are no match for ordinary Iwa ninja.

……

“Clan leader, look, that guy named Chiba seems a bit strange.”

On another part of the battlefield, an Uchiha pointed at Chiba not far away and said to Fugaku, "Look at his footwork, doesn't it resemble that of our Uchiha clan?"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Fugaku looked at Chiba, his eyes flashing rapidly with three black tomoe.

Although Chiba had modified "Shadow Dance Step" and tried his best to conceal it, the Sharingan could still clearly capture the unique power trajectory of "Shadow Dance Step".

"That's right, it is indeed my clan's 'Shadow Dance Step'."

After observing for a while, Fugaku nodded slightly and gave an affirmative answer.

"That's strange, how come he knows our clan's footwork?" the Uchiha muttered in confusion.

"Naturally, it was learned from our Uchiha clan."

Fugaku didn't speak, but he already had a vague idea in his mind.

Without the Sharingan, Chiba must have observed the "Shadow Dance Steps" extensively to master its essence.

"Shadow Dance Steps" is a light and agile footwork technique, mostly practiced by women in the clan. This reminds me of when Chiba asked me if I knew Mikoto...

Extensive observation, women, and beautiful koto.

Having grasped these key points, Fugaku felt as if he knew everything!

"Mikoto said earlier that she didn't know Chiba; they were just in the same year, which means..."

Fugaku instantly imagined the answer.

That's right, this is a story of unrequited love where the girl has never noticed the boy, but the boy has been secretly watching the girl all along!

The girl is Mikoto, and the boy is Chiba.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Fugaku's face. He seemed to know how to tie Chiba to the Uchiha clan's chariot.

……

The battle lasted for several hours, with no winners; both Konoha and Iwagakure suffered heavy casualties.

At this point, both sides tacitly agreed to a truce and began to clean up the battlefield in a clearly defined manner.

Although Chiba and his two companions looked extremely disheveled, they were not seriously injured and successfully survived until the end.

It's not that Chiba is bragging, but the fact that the three Konoha genin got together and didn't cause any catastrophes is already quite low-key!

"Brother Chiba, several members of my clan are seriously injured. Could you please come and take a look at them?"

Not long after the war ended, Fugaku approached Chiba and made a pleading request.

“Of course, no problem. Please lead the way, Brother Fugaku,” Chiba readily agreed.

Firstly, Fugaku stayed behind specifically for him; secondly, the Uchiha clan had a relatively high success rate in terms of recruitment, so Chiba couldn't refuse Fugaku for either reason or emotion.

……

Inside the tent where wounded members of the Uchiha clan were being housed.

Chiba, who was first seriously injured and then slightly injured, began to treat the wounded in an orderly manner.

[Ding! Healing successful! Congratulations, host, you have obtained "Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique"!]

[Ding! Healing successful. Congratulations, host, you have obtained "Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique"!]

A series of system notifications sounded, and Chiba felt somewhat annoyed.

"No, is the Uchiha clan only good at Fire Release?

[Ding! Healing successful! Congratulations, host, you have obtained "Uchiha Maniacal Laughter"!]

Chiba: "..."

Good grief, did the system include him, the one who saves lives, because the Uchiha Four Laughing Heroes are old, weak, sick, and disabled?

Oh well, let's just relax and think of it as doing charity work – saving lives is what it's all about.

"Alright, Brother Fugaku, I..."

Just as Chiba finished treating several wounded Uchiha and was about to get up to leave, Fugaku, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

"Brother Chiba, you're not young anymore. Have you thought about marriage?"

In the Naruto world, Chiba's age is indeed not young. When Itachi was that age, he was already old enough to be a great-grandfather.

"Hmm, not yet." Chiba replied somewhat puzzledly, unable to understand Fugaku's meaning.

Fugaku nodded and spoke again: "In that case, have you considered the girls of my Uchiha clan?"

"Yes, it exists, but..."

Chiba admitted that he might have indeed read a gigabyte or two... oops, a couple of times Uchiha Mikoto's doujinshi.

But now the person asking this question is someone's future husband, how the hell is he supposed to answer? Say he has feelings for someone else's wife?!

Fugaku would probably just activate his Mangekyou Sharingan in a fit of rage and use Susanoo to give him a massive blow right there!

"My……"

Seeing Chiba's hesitant manner, Fugaku became even more certain of his guess.

So he leaned close to Chiba's ear and whispered, "How about when we get back, I'll arrange for you to meet up with Mikoto, so you two can get to know each other better?"

Chapter 29 Calamity, get out of our camp!

(OωO?)! What?!

Chiba looked at Fugaku in disbelief. Fugaku's words were so astonishing that he was momentarily speechless.

Is there really such a self-disciplined man in this world?!

Perhaps only that guy who didn't bring an umbrella on a rainy night can compare to him!

"Is this...is this okay?" Chiba asked Fugaku, somewhat uncertainly.

"Of course, Brother Chiba."

Fugaku nodded, revealing a knowing smile: "If you truly like her, I'm willing to act as a matchmaker for you and Mikoto."

"hiss……"

Finally, Chiba left the Uchiha tent looking completely bewildered, feeling utterly dizzy.

What just happened?

Chiba tried to clear his mind: "Just now, Fugaku asked me if I wanted a wife, and said that as long as I asked, he would send his wife to me?"

Chiba knew that because of him, Fugaku and Mikoto were probably out of luck, but... it was still kind of exciting to think about!

"Hey, doctor, come with me quickly! My friend is unconscious and needs medical attention!"

"Ah, okay, okay."

Just as Chiba was in a daze, a ninja with a mustache rushed over anxiously, and Chiba was then dragged to a camp in the distance where the wounded were being housed.

……

"Well, I'm sorry, your friend is probably beyond saving."

After some emergency treatment, Chiba shook his head and said apologetically.

The guy in the bed was poisoned by two conflicting toxins, and missed the best time for rescue. The severe poisoning had already damaged his internal organs.
