Naruto: This Uchiha is too innocent.

"Ku, there's someone we need to watch out for in this Sand Ninja raiding team."

Uchiha Tetsuka suddenly thought of something, his expression turned serious, and his body tensed up instinctively.

Uchiha Sora lowered his eyes and looked at him. He said in a deep voice, "Her name is Chiyo. She is a puppeteer with extremely strong strength. Her puppetry skills are superb. She can be said to be the strongest ninja in this raiding team. Many of us have died at her hands."

Uchiha Sora remained silent. Chiyo, now elderly, was a Kage-level gatekeeper, and the current Chiyo was clearly much stronger than she would be twenty years later, probably one of the top Kage-level powerhouses.

He just didn't expect that Chiyo would also participate in this operation.

"Where is the clan chief?" he asked in a deep voice.

"Clan Chief Fugaku has fought Chiyo, but he didn't gain anything. Now... he should be discussing with the Konoha leadership how to reclaim Mount Kikyo."

tower,

Using tree branches for leverage, Uchiha Sora walked on air. By now, he knew that the Uchiha clan's plan had probably failed.

The original plan was to use the Battle of Kikyo Mountain to change the villagers' stereotypes about the Uchiha clan, but the ninjas sent by Sunagakure were unexpectedly troublesome.

No, it wasn't a complete failure, since the Uchiha stepped forward in front of everyone, it's just that the effect wasn't as good as expected.

"How much longer until we reach the summit?"

"Let me see." Uchiha Tetsuka took out a scroll and looked at it for a while. It was a map of Mount Kikyo. "Hmm... we should be on the upper part of the mountain. At this speed, if there are no accidents, we should be able to reach the top in ten minutes at the latest."

Uchiha Sora nodded slightly. As long as he didn't run into Chiyo, he was confident he could quickly end the battle.

pity……

Five minutes later, Uchiha Sora stopped in his tracks, his face grim, and could only say that his words had come true.

The woman controlling the puppet in front of me was none other than Chiyo.

"What bad luck! Of all the paths on Mount Kikyo, we just had to run into one!" Uchiha Yatsuho cursed under his breath, crushing rocks with his toes as the Sharingan in his eyes quietly appeared.

The same applies to Uchiha Tekka and Uchiha Inahisa. Facing a Kage-level powerhouse, they dared not be the slightest bit careless, as the three tomoe were not enough to give them the strength to match a Kage.

"Oh my, I've run into four Uchiha brats. What great luck today." Chiyo twitched her fingers slightly, and a puppet floated in front of her. She smiled and said, "And it's a three-tomoe puppet."

"Ku, we'll stay behind to cover your retreat. You take the opportunity to escape." Uchiha Tekka lowered his voice and pulled out an explosive tag.

Uchiha Sora's eyes flickered slightly, and he refused without hesitation, "No, you are all elites of the clan. The death of even one of you would be a major loss to the clan, let alone three."

"Tsk, this guy, he talks like we're guaranteed to die if we stay behind to cover their retreat. It's really annoying," Uchiha Yatsuho said, scoffing.

Uchiha Sora was clearly thinking about their safety, but why does it sound so infuriating?

"There's no room for discussion on this," Uchiha Sora said calmly. "Besides, I'm an Anbu member, and I can command you when necessary."

That's a good point. Anbu members have the right to order other ninjas to cooperate during missions. You can think of Anbu members as rats hiding in the sunlight, but it's undeniable that these rats have a lot of power in Konoha.

"Besides, I invited you here. There's no reason for me to use you as bait and leave alone." Uchiha Sora smiled slightly.

This was the first time he had smiled since witnessing Uzuki Kaze's death, though the smile was forced and had a strained, insincere quality.

"Hehe, looks like you've come to a conclusion," Chiyo said cheerfully. "What, are you planning to run away or what?"

"Chiyo, where is Pakura?" Uchiha Sora asked calmly. Chiyo wouldn't appear here for no reason; there's nothing here.

When she appeared here, Uchiha Sora assumed she was a guard, a guard protecting the king. Of course, given Chiyo's status, only the Kazekage was qualified to be called her king, and the Kazekage couldn't possibly be here. So, the king here is just a noun, referring to a certain person.

For some inexplicable reason, Uchiha Sora felt that Chiyo was protecting Pakura; there was no other reason, just a simple intuition.

"Young man, you've got quite the nerve. I've taken a bit of interest in you. To tell you the truth, Pakula is just two kilometers from here, but... do you think you can survive those two kilometers?" Chiyo laughed, her arrogance palpable.

Among the five people present, she certainly had the right to be arrogant.

Because there is a huge gap between Kage-level and Jonin. Only those members of the Uchiha clan who awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan can have Kage-level strength. And since the founding of the Uchiha clan, the number of people who have the Mangekyou Sharingan can be counted on one hand, which shows how rare Kage-level powerhouses are.

A family that possesses a Kage-level expert can be considered a powerful clan in any country.

Uchiha Sora took a deep breath and whispered to the others, "I will create an opportunity for you to escape."

"What do you have to create opportunities with?" The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha frowned, even though there was a consensus within the clan that Uchiha Sora's future was immeasurable.

However, as things stand now, Uchiha Hachimoku believes that Uchiha Sora's strength is inferior to his own.

I approve of your future, but I'm sorry, it's mine now.

"With what? Naturally, with sheer strength." Uchiha Sora's lips curled up, and he charged straight at Chiyo like a wild horse.

The Kusanagi sword cleaved through the air, its sharp sword energy cutting through the falling leaves.

Chiyo narrowed her eyes, then suddenly unfurled a scroll. In an instant, purple ghostly energy emanated from the scroll, condensing into one white puppet after another.

"The White Secret Technique, the Ten Ninja of Chikamatsu."

Having participated in countless battles, Chiyo did not underestimate the enemy just because they were weaker than her. She knew perfectly well that arrogance was the easiest way to kill someone.

Therefore, when she made her move, she brought out her best Chikamatsu Ten Ninja, showing great respect for Uchiha Sora.

With a flick of his fingers, two puppets charged toward Uchiha Sora, one after the other.

Uchiha Sora knew perfectly well that a prolonged battle would inevitably lead to defeat, and a swift victory was the only way out. He slashed out with his Kusanagi sword, deflecting one of the puppets, and then used the secret scroll to protect his shuriken from the attack of the other puppet. With a swift movement, he temporarily dealt with both puppets.

He leaped into the air, and mid-air, the sword in his hand slid from his fingertips, shooting fiercely towards Chiyo.

"Shadow Clone Shuriken Technique".

The shuriken multiplied in mid-air, from one to two, from two to four, from four to eight... In an instant, countless shuriken surrounded Chiyo, covering the sky.

The latter, unperturbed, manipulated chakra to form a triangular formation with the three puppets.

"The Three Treasures are drained."
