Naruto:The System's Shadow

Fujiwara Mine, in the Uchiha ninja outpost, a beam of light flashed, revealing a figure in a Uchiha robe.

Uchiha Kaito exhaled a mouthful of stale air and reached out to touch his chest. There, a fresh wound was slowly dripping blood. The wound was not large, and could at most be considered a minor injury, but it would sting when touched.

He bared his teeth and lightly exclaimed, muttering to himself, "Always hunting geese, I didn't expect to have my eyes pecked out by a goose today. When did the Hyuga clan produce such a girl? Why haven't I heard of her in the original work?"

After thinking about it without getting anywhere, he said again, "It's all the system's fault after all. If this damn system hadn't suddenly released a mission to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, I wouldn't have stupidly jumped out. Damn all ambushes!"

"Wait...system...?"

Kaito's heart suddenly jumped. He remembered that the system released a second mission: to escape the encirclement. Logically speaking, he had already completed the mission by escaping here with the Flying Thunder God Technique, but why hadn't he received a reward for completing the mission?

At the same time, he keenly noticed that the whole house was too quiet, eerily quiet. He had suddenly appeared here, and Uchiha Masa and the others couldn't possibly have no reaction. They also couldn't possibly be out at this time, unless...

Thinking of this, the Sharingan in Kaito's eyes rotated again.

A cold light flashed, and Kaito's body was cut in half at the waist.

"Target, Uchiha Kaito, successfully killed!" A faint voice came from behind. Even without turning his head, Kaito could imagine the expression on the face behind him, who would coldly say those words with a poker face.

"You bastard, Hyuga Tamamo, you even set up a chain of traps. I'll hang you up and beat you one day!" The Sharingan in his eyes began to rotate wildly. The body that had been cut apart suddenly turned into crows, swirling and flying out.

"What's going on?"

Hyuga Kazama, who had been guarding here, looked at the change in front of him in astonishment. It was the first time in his life that he had encountered such a strange situation.

"Is it a Sharingan genjutsu? But I've been very careful and haven't made eye contact with his Sharingan from beginning to end."

The crows cawed, flying out the windows one by one, and regrouping Kaito's body on the branches of a distant tree.

"Heh, Itachi's Crow Clone is simply the ultimate life-saving skill. Although it's only a C-rank ninjutsu, its practicality is completely above A-rank!"

He quickly completed the hand seals, and the Sharingan was especially eye-catching in the night.

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"

A fire dragon condensed into a substance spewed out, the target being the building below. He had already set up Flying Thunder God seals all around, and this was already his home turf. Only by destroying the house that could hide the opponent could he be like an insect caught in a spider's web, and could only be slowly entangled to death.

In the roar of explosions, the house below was blown to pieces. A black shadow leaped high and landed on the grass below. The Byakugan stared solemnly at the opponent on the tree, and he somewhat understood why the two elite jonin of the clan could not take down the opponent. These unprecedented ninjutsu were really too strange.

"Yo, you dodged pretty quickly!"

Kaito said in a mocking tone, and then changed the subject and said, "To be honest, that girl from your family has a pretty good IQ. This set of chain traps was a bit beyond my expectations, but it doesn't matter. The plan is good, but she miscalculated one thing!"

"What did she miscalculate?" Hyuga Kazama held his katana ready, and the Byakugan observed Kaito's surroundings, looking for the best time to strike.

"She shouldn't have only sent one jonin to ambush me here. If you were an elite jonin, I definitely wouldn't be talking so much nonsense with you. Let me teach you the true power of the Flying Thunder God Technique. Damn, the difference in level from the elite jonin is too much, beating me up so frustratingly."

Before he finished speaking, three kunai attacked him in three different directions.

Hyuga Kazama blocked two with a wave of his katana. From the perspective of the Byakugan, he easily dodged the other one with a sidestep, and sneered, "Boastful... Hmm?"

A light flashed, and Uchiha Kaito suddenly appeared beside him, grabbing the kunai with his backhand and stabbing directly at him. He quickly swung his katana to counterattack, but the opponent disappeared again in an instant.

"Behind me?" The Byakugan's perspective captured the opponent, and Hyuga Kazama quickly changed his move to meet the attack, but the opponent disappeared again and appeared on his left side.

"It's that strange space ninjutsu, is it these kunai?" Although it was one person, he was attacked in three directions at the same time. Hyuga Kazama endured the discomfort and flashed past again.

Looking at the three kunai floating around him, he gritted his teeth and slashed his katana horizontally in a circle, wanting to knock these kunai away amidst the clanging sounds.

"How is this possible?" To his surprise, these three kunai still surrounded him and were not knocked away. Uchiha Kaito's attack was still relentless, and he had already added several small wounds to his body.

"This is...chakra wire?"

Hyuga Kazama finally noticed a very transparent chakra wire connecting to the tail of each of the three kunai, wrapped around his body by the reflection of the moonlight. No wonder he couldn't get rid of these kunai.

"Did you find out?" A sneer hung on the corner of Kaito's mouth. After discovering the triple realm of the Flying Thunder God, he knew that he couldn't leave a seal on others, so he thought of this method. Since there was no way to leave a seal, then let the kunai directly wrap around the opponent.

A flash of light had never stopped beside Hyuga Kazama, and the attack was like a storm, relentless. All Hyuga Kazama could do was constantly parry, unable to even touch the hem of the opponent's clothes. He couldn't even find time to cut the chakra wire. He realized for the first time that a ninjutsu could be so powerful that it actually allowed a tokubetsu jonin to completely suppress him, a jonin, throughout the entire fight. All the ninja in the Warring States Period would laugh if they heard that. What a pipe dream!

"Rotation!" Hyuga Kazama finally couldn't bear it anymore. Chakra gathered in his palms and instantly began to rotate. If this attack continued, he wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

A chakra barrier appeared instantly, and the chakra wire connecting the three kunai was instantly cut off. The reason why he was unwilling to use Rotation at the beginning was because there would be a moment of breathing time after the Rotation ended. Judging from the opponent's performance, he didn't think the opponent would let go of such a good opportunity.

With a flash of light, Kaito teleported to a kunai not far away. The Sharingan turned slightly, and he began to calculate the duration of the Rotation. He had fought with two elite jonin and had a belly full of fire, so he took the opportunity to vent his anger on the person in front of him.

"No, this ninjutsu is too strange, I can't hurt him at all. The moment the Rotation ends, I'll use the Body Flicker Technique to escape!" Hyuga Kazama already had thoughts of retreating. He was able to become a jonin and wasn't the type to stubbornly hold on. It wasn't shameful to not be able to beat the opponent. It was stupid to stubbornly hold on even when you knew you couldn't beat the opponent. This kind of person had already died out when they were genin.

"Now, Body Flicker Technique!"

The moment the Rotation ended, he saw a kunai shooting towards him. He actually didn't dodge or evade, and used this time to forcibly recover his breath. Uchiha Kaito suddenly appeared, grabbing the kunai with his backhand and stabbing it straight into his heart!

Pfft...

The kunai penetrated three inches into the flesh. Hyuga Kazama activated the Body Flicker Technique, turning into a black shadow and rushing into the distance.

"Too slow!"

Kaito's Sharingan turned slightly, he sneered, and his figure suddenly disappeared, already blocking his path.

Hyuga Kazama used the Body Flicker Technique in another direction, but he was still blocked. After several times, he gritted his teeth, raised his hand, and threw two smoke bombs. A large patch of white mist rose, and then the thick fog covered him. He activated the Body Flicker Technique and fled into the distance.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

A large patch of Fire Release covered the path he was escaping on. Nothing was more suitable for blocking the road than this large A-rank ninjutsu.

"Goodbye, Hyuga friend. I will remember your kindness in sending your head from a thousand miles away. Rasengan!"

A high-speed rotating and huge tearing force spread in his back. He felt that all of his internal organs had been crushed. "How did he catch up without a kunai?"

The Byakugan lightly glanced downwards, and a kunai was clearly wrapped around his armpit with a chakra wire.

"Wh...at...ti...me..." A mouthful of blood spewed out, mixed with internal organs. These were the last few words he could say.

Kaito chuckled and understood what he meant. He quickly said, "When you finished the Rotation, I actually threw two kunai at that time!"

"Double Shuriken Technique, so that's how it is. In the end, I actually lost to this D-rank basic ninjutsu..." These were the last thoughts in his mind before he closed his eyes.
