Naruto:The System's Shadow

Chapter 31: The Uchiha Clan's Plan



Uchiha Kaito put away the kunai that was under his arm, and the three tomoe in his eyes slowly receded. A wave of exhaustion surged into his heart. He had chased the two elite jonin for a long time at the bandit mountain, and then returned here to kill a jonin. Even if the Flying Thunder God Technique's consumption was small, there was still a consumption. The most important thing was the discomfort of traveling back and forth in that space, making it difficult for a body that hadn't adapted for a long time to get used to it.

"Not bad, I still have one-third of my chakra left. This is one good thing about the Uchiha clan; few clans have as much chakra."

Kaito turned around, looked at the house he had destroyed in the distance, shook his head, and prepared to return to the clan overnight. Uchiha Masa and the others were probably already dead.

Suddenly, the bushes under an old tree not far to his left trembled slightly. Kaito's eyes instantly turned into three tomoe, and the kunai reappeared in his hand. He said in a cold voice, "Who's there? Come out!"

His left hand had already secretly started forming hand seals with one hand. It was the B-rank ninjutsu Fire Release: Flame Slash!

"Don't move, it's me!" A voice sounded. Kaito was slightly stunned. It was a familiar voice.

He saw a child about his age jumping out of the bushes, wearing the same Uchiha robe, and with a face somewhat similar to Kaito's. He seemed to be about the same age. Of course, the temperaments of the two were worlds apart. Kaito himself had a very mature temperament, making people subconsciously ignore his age, while this person, although he tried his best to act mature, could still clearly see the childishness on his body.

"Izuna? Why are you here?" Kaito said in surprise. He never expected that it would be Uchiha Izuna who came out.

After Uchiha Izuna came out, he smiled at him awkwardly. A black shadow fell from the treetop, also wearing the Uchiha clan's clothes, and nodded at Kaito, saying, "Young Master Kaito!"

Kaito looked back and forth between the two of them, and his eyes narrowed involuntarily. He remembered this person; an elite jonin in the clan named Uchiha Keimei.

It was no problem for other people to appear here. It was also no problem for Izuna and the other two to be here, but it was a big problem for the two of them to appear here at this time.

In an instant, he recalled the scene when Uchiha Tajima gave him this mission that day, as well as the expression Uchiha Madara gave him on the way, looking at him with schadenfreude. Combined with the secret ninja who appeared at the meeting that day, and the two people, Izuna, in front of him, he seemed to have thought of some explanation.

Kaito walked in front of Izuna without showing any emotion, his face so gloomy that it could drip water. He said in a stiff tone, "You were there when I was fighting that Hyuga jonin?"

It was the first time Izuna saw Kaito show this expression. A drop of cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and he swallowed his saliva and nodded.

Taking a deep breath, he asked again, "Where's Uchiha Madara?"

Izuna pointed his finger into the distance.

Kaito looked in the direction he was pointing, which was the bandit's stronghold where he had just been. His face became even more gloomy. Taking two deep breaths, he forced himself to keep his inner self calm, and said almost word by word, "You, came with me, didn't you!"

Cold sweat covered Izuna's forehead. He was afraid that Kaito would vent his anger on him, so he said carefully, "To be accurate, it was an hour later than you."

Bang!

An old tree behind Uchiha Izuna broke in response. Kaito calmly retracted his fist, fell silent for two seconds, and suddenly exploded, snapping the kunai in his hand in one fell swoop, "I'll be damned, Uchiha Madara, you're ruthless enough, you actually dared to plot against me. I won't take revenge for this, then I won't be named Lu!" He was so angry that his consciousness was blurred, and he even blurted out his last name from his previous life.

Izuna weakly asked, "Aren't we all surnamed Uchiha?"

Kaito suddenly lowered his head, and the fiery gaze made Izuna shiver. He didn't dare to say any more.

"After you see your brother, tell him that I want to duel with him, the kind on the stage of life and death. I originally thought he had some magnanimity because he had a dragon-proud face every day, who knew he would be so petty. He deserves any kind of encounter in the future. I'll just fuck it!"

As early as when Izuna pointed out that Madara was at the bandit's stronghold, he understood the whole story. The Uchiha family had sold him as bait.

He was still puzzled when he saw Hyuga Tamamo. How could his uncle be so stupid as to send himself here with such a simple plan? Okay, even if his uncle was really slow to react to conspiracies and tricks, the situation of Fujiwara Mine was known to the entire Uchiha clan. Could it be that all the clansmen in the entire clan were fools?

Okay, even if all the clansmen were dumbasses, the Uchiha clan's intelligence system shouldn't have a problem, right? They were completely unaware that the elite jonin of other clans were sneaking into their home and stirring up trouble, so the entire Uchiha clan shouldn't call themselves one of the two great clans of the Warring States Period. They should just commit suicide collectively, anyway, the ending in the near future is predictable.

Now it seemed that this was not the case at all. Probably at the clan meeting, the secret report not only had news of the Hyuga's affiliation with the Senju, but also the detailed situation of the Fujiwara Mine.

And as Hyuga Tamamo said, if a Uchiha jonin came, they would see the real bandits. It was estimated that the people in the clan were also worried about this, afraid that if they directly dispatched a jonin or elite jonin, the other party would run away, so they happily sold him.

Hyuga Tamamo must not have thought when designing to encircle and kill him, that she was actually the one being designed to be encircled and killed by the Uchiha clan. It was a pity that the two of them were fighting wits and courage, thinking that they were both very powerful, but now Kaito discovered that they were both just idiots.

Kaito could even think that according to the original plan, someone would come to support him after the other party made a move, and then realize the encirclement. It must have been that kid Uchiha Madara who held a grudge against him for making him hold on for five more minutes last time, and deliberately tricked him.

Of course, he definitely didn't have the mindset of killing him, at most, he wanted him to suffer a little. As a result, he didn't expect his performance to be so mighty, forcefully killing five chunin and running away under the other party's calculations. Even if he didn't see it, he could imagine the shocked expression on Uchiha Madara's face that could swallow an entire egg.

Thinking of this, he felt a little better, turned around and said, "Return to the clan!"

Uchiha Izuna looked reluctantly at the direction of the distant bandit's stronghold. He still wanted to go there and take a look, but feeling the strong murderous aura on Kaito's body, he decided to shut up obediently.

Just as they turned around and prepared to return to the clan, suddenly a strong chakra erupted in Fujiwara Mountain, even Kaito and the others could feel the obvious tremors in such a distant place, and the intensity of that chakra was also unprecedented to Kaito, far exceeding the level of elite jonin.

Uchiha Keimei's face changed, and he exclaimed, "This chakra, a Hyuga clan leader-level figure has taken action! Could it be Hyuga Tenji, that old guy also secretly came along? Why isn't it written on the intelligence!"

Kaito was slightly stunned before he realized that clan leader-level was Kage-level, and his face couldn't help but change. He also faintly remembered Hyuga Tenji. It seemed that the original book mentioned this character, but it didn't introduce him in detail.

He didn't know how many people Madara brought. If it was really Hyuga Tenji, maybe they were still in danger. Kaito couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Just then, a flame suddenly streaked across the sky, heading towards Fujiwara Mountain at an extremely fast speed. A figure could be vaguely seen in the flame.

"Clan leader?" Uchiha Keimei exclaimed again.

As the flame fell there, the entire earth couldn't help but tremble with it as the center, and the degree of shaking was several times that of just now, as if an earthquake had occurred.

Kaito looked in surprise towards the bandit stronghold of Fujiwara Mountain. This was the first time he had felt the battle of Kage-level powerhouses after crossing over. It was actually so earth-shattering.
