Naruto: This Uchiha is too innocent.

Uzuki Kaze made a mistake; he never expected that one of the ninjas sent by Sunagakure would be a Jonin.

By the time he followed the trail, it was too late, because the Jonin's senses were superior to his. When he arrived, he found himself already surrounded.

The surrounding environment is a continuous mountain range with all kinds of strange rocks standing in it. There is almost no vegetation. As long as you find a high point, you can have a panoramic view of the surrounding area.

In other words, Feng Zhong is doomed to die in the month of Mao.

"Hehe, boss, I didn't expect the Konoha Anbu to be so fast, they arrived so quickly."

The tanuki stuck out its tongue and licked the tip of the kunai, staring at Uzuki Kazunari with a mocking expression.

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've killed any Konoha Anbu members."

Beneath his mask, Uzuki Kaze's face was ashen, his fingertips slightly pale. His strength was already approaching that of a Jonin. In fact, he had originally planned to participate in the Jonin Exams after the Third Shinobi World War.

It can be said that even if he faced five Chunin, he could escape unscathed and even severely injure his opponents. As for the four Sand Ninja in front of him, if it weren't for that Jonin, he was confident that he could kill them all.

It was that Jonin who put him in a life-or-death situation. He had no confidence in even escaping, let alone killing his opponent.

Jonin are the backbone of each nation's power. In a sense, the ranking of each nation's strength is determined by the number of Jonin. A veteran Jonin is enough to suppress more than a dozen Chunin.

"A miscalculation," Uzuki Kazunari murmured, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes. He slowly drew his long sword from behind his back, preparing for battle.

As a member of the Dark Guard, he was naturally unafraid of death. In fact, death was the fate of most Dark Guard members; apart from other Dark Guard members, no one knew when, where, or why they would die.

He had been a member of the Anbu for over ten years, an experience exceeding that of 99% of its members. He had carried out so many missions that he himself had lost count. His former comrades were either dead or replaced; only the old captain, Shinnosuke, remained.

"Fortunately, he didn't follow." A hint of relief flashed in Uzuki Kazunari's eyes. He was glad that he had sent Uchiha Sora back to Konoha directly. If the latter had followed, he probably wouldn't have escaped death.

A shadow crossed his eyes as he locked his gaze on the tanuki. He knew he couldn't defeat the Jonin, but he was confident he could kill this Chunin.

The raccoon sensed his gaze and chuckled.

"Boss, let me have a word with him."

Having said that, he actually charged straight at Uzuki Kaze.

Someone nearby offered to help, but Maki raised his hand and said calmly, "Let him suffer a bit, so he won't always look down on everyone."

"Wind Release: Wind Slash!" The tanuki growled, and a cross-shaped wind blade shot towards Uzuki Kaze.

Amidst the wind and waves, Uzuki's gaze remained unchanged. He changed his longsword's movement from a horizontal slash to an upward thrust, directly lifting a rock at his feet.

The next moment, the cross-shaped wind blades sliced ​​the rock into four pieces.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Uzuki Kaze closed the distance and slashed horizontally with a single blow—a strike powerful enough to cut through steel.

The tanuki's pupils contracted sharply. He hadn't expected that Uzuki Kazunari could break through his wind-style attack so easily. Facing the slash, he hurriedly used a kunai to defend himself.

With a ding,

He felt his arm go numb and thought to himself that this guy was incredibly strong. But... that was enough. He used a kunai to entangle the long sword, kicked out with his right leg, and sent out several cold beams of light, aiming straight for his throat!

Maoyue Fengzhong's breathing became heavier. He deliberately released his grip, and several thousand needles shot out from his sleeve, accurately deflecting the steel needles.

A single, decisive blow.

The raccoon let out a muffled groan and was sent flying backward.

opportunity!

A fierce glint flashed in Uzuki Kaze's eyes. He caught the long sword and charged towards the tanuki while forming hand seals.

"Shadow Clone - Blade Slash!"

In an instant, three shadow clones slashed at the tanuki from three different directions! There was no way to avoid it.

The raccoon's pupils contracted sharply, and the fur on its entire body stood on end. At this distance, it didn't have time to form any hand seals!

hula-

Uzuki Kaze's internal alarm bells rang loudly. A chilling killing intent, like a tangible needle, struck him. Without hesitation, he abandoned the chance to kill the tanuki, and with a powerful leap, he created distance.

At the same time, one of the shadow clones was directly killed by the invisible slash.

A shocking knife mark was left on the ground.

Uzuki Kaze's heart pounded wildly. If he had hesitated even a moment earlier, he would be dead by now. He looked in one direction.

Maki slowly picked up his two fingers, saying with a hint of regret, "What a pity, it would have been better if we were closer."

Uzuki Kaze looked at him with deep apprehension in her eyes. That unseen attack just now was unleashed by this Jonin.

Some kind of wind escape?

He immediately realized that the Jonin from Sunagakure in front of him was stronger than he had imagined.

At this moment, the tanuki also realized what was happening, quickly distancing itself from Uzuki Kazunari and returning to Maki's side. It opened its mouth...

"Hehe, you've learned your lesson, haven't you?" Before the raccoon could speak, Maki chuckled.

"Captain, I..." Tanuki lowered his head in shame. He had been so confident that he would take down Uzuki Kazunari, but he was almost killed by the other party in just a few exchanges. He felt as if ants were crawling all over his body, and he was extremely ashamed.

"I told you before, don't underestimate ninjas from other countries. Your strength is passable in Sunagakure, but compared to ninjas in the entire ninja world, you are still far behind. You should know that heroes are as numerous as those crossing the river." Maki said calmly, his eyes filled with a great sense of pressure.

"Yes!" The raccoon pursed its lips and clenched its fist.

After reprimanding his subordinates, Maki's gaze fell on Uzuki Kazunari, and he sighed in admiration.

"However, whether it is strength, speed or mentality, you are excellent, even stronger than some special Jonin."

If I weren't there, they might have really fallen into your hands.

Unfortunately, your life has come to an end today.

Maoyue Feng remained silent, then charged directly at Maki! Maki smiled but did not create any distance.

Uzuki Kaze appeared before him, slashing with his sword. However, Maki had vanished; he had struck nothing but air. At that moment, a voice came from behind him.

"Whether it's strength, speed, or reaction time, I'm better than you in every way. What do you have to fight me with?"

Maoyue Feng suddenly turned around, slashing her long sword.

"The Dance of the Crescent Moon!"

A powerful burst of sword energy erupted from his body, and countless blades were unleashed like a storm, carrying a sharp killing intent as they hurtled towards Maki.

The smile on Maki's face slowly faded, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes. He hated being interrupted, so he raised two fingers and flicked them lightly.

The next moment, a figure crashed heavily onto the rock surface like a kite with a broken string.

"Ahem!"

Maoyue spat out a mouthful of blood, which flowed out and stained the surrounding rocks red.
