Naruto:The System's Shadow

Chapter 43: The Fourteen Great Clans of the Land of Fire



A series of changes left the Blood Ninja in a state of stunned disbelief, completely unable to understand what was going on. Wasn't that Uchiha child trying to save people? Why did he kill him again? What was the difference between that and himself killing him? Could it be that the two had a feud?

"Do you two have a feud?" Unable to figure it out, the Blood Ninja simply asked directly.

"No feud," Kaito answered straightforwardly.

"Then why did you kill him?" The Blood Ninja asked in confusion.

"I'm not only going to kill him, but also you!" Kaito said.

The Blood Ninja was taken aback, then grinned and laughed, "Haha, a special jonin actually has the audacity to say that he wants to kill me, it's really killing me with laughter."

Kaito ignored him, simply holding the kunai, his Sharingan eyes staring at him coldly, silent.

The Blood Ninja laughed twice, then couldn't laugh anymore, because he noticed the killing intent in Kaito's eyes, the kind of killing intent that really killed people. This little brat... really wanted to kill himself.

The Blood Ninja carefully looked at Kaito. He was wearing an Uchiha black robe and holding a long sword in his arms. He was only about five years old, but his temperament was steady and he didn't look like a child at all. The Sharingan eyes were enchanting like blood, but he was indeed a special jonin. He couldn't help but sneer, "I've long heard that the Uchiha clan is arrogant, and seeing it today is indeed the case. A five-year-old child, you are indeed a monstrous talent to become a special jonin at this age, but you are so arrogant that you dare to hunt me down, it's simply courting death. That Chiba kid is also one of the fourteen great clans of the Land of Fire, even if he is not as good as your Uchiha family, he is still a first-class clan, and he still died in my hands. Kid, you're looking for death, so don't blame me."

If Kaito was a jonin, the Blood Ninja would not have any intention of attacking at this time. He would definitely run away. He clearly remembered how badly he was beaten when he met a Senju clan jonin last time. Although he won in the end, it was mostly due to luck, and the Uchiha clan was on par with the Senju. The reputation of the Sharingan was even more well-known throughout the Warring States period. Among the same level, a one-on-one retreat was not just talk.

"The fourteen great clans of the Land of Fire?" Kaito raised his eyebrows slightly, showing a hint of interest. It was the first time he had heard of this concept. No one in the clan had ever mentioned it before.

Seeing this, the Blood Ninja sneered, "So you're also a fledgling from the clan. But judging by your age, you're probably taking on a mission for the first time, but it's a pity that you're about to die. Well, let me tell you something, so that you won't be so ignorant after death."

Of course, the Blood Ninja would not be so kind as to deliberately "popularize science" for Kaito. He just wanted to take the opportunity to delay time to recover the chakra in his body. Chiba Tobey's strength was indeed not to be underestimated. He had fought with him for a long time and used a lot of A-rank or higher ninjutsu. His chakra was depleted by more than half. Although he was confident that he could take down a special jonin without any problem, he had developed a cautious habit on the battlefield. He would try to recover as much as possible. Capsizing in the gutter was not uncommon in the Warring States period.

"Kid, let me tell you, the so-called fourteen great clans of the Land of Fire are the fourteen strongest forces in the Land of Fire, namely, two sects, three families, four clans, and five secret techniques.

The Uchiha and Senju families are the strongest families in the Warring States period, and no one else can compare with them. The two sects are also the strongest two clans among the fourteen families, while the three families are the Hyuga family, the Kaguya family, and the Yin Yang family, second only to the two sects. The four clans are the Uzumaki clan, the Sarutobi clan, the Fuma clan, and the Chiba clan. As for the final five secret techniques, they refer to the five great secret clans that are famous for their secret techniques in the Warring States period, namely, the Aburame clan, the Inuzuka clan, the Akimichi clan, the Nara clan, and the Nakatomi clan, which together are called the fourteen great clans of the Land of Fire."

Kaito silently recited the names of these fourteen families. Apart from Yin Yang, Fuma, and Chiba, which he had never heard of in the original work, not counting Kaguya, the remaining ten families were all families that later participated in the establishment of Konoha. At the same time, he understood why no one in the clan had ever mentioned the so-called fourteen great clans. According to the mentality of the Uchiha clan, how could they admit any fourteen great clans? In their hearts, there was only one family in the entire Warring States period, and that was the Uchiha family.

Perhaps, the Senju could be added, but there was definitely no third family.

"Earth Release Earth Stone Eruption! Kid, you are still too young, go to die." Seeing that Kaito showed a thoughtful expression, the Blood Ninja seized the opportunity and suddenly attacked, pressing his hands on the ground. The ground suddenly cracked, and a dark crack extended towards Kaito's location in a zigzag pattern like lightning.

Then!

A loud boom erupted.

Tiny stones, like shuriken, splattered out with a swishing sound, covering a range of more than thirty meters. The buildings on both sides were instantly riddled with holes. Ordinary people in the houses could not avoid it. Some unlucky ones were pierced into sieves and fell to the ground in horror, dying with their eyes wide open.

Looking at the explosion site, it had become a large pit two meters long and one meter deep, with no remains left.

"Hahaha... A mere special jonin dares to hunt me down. Remember in your next life, not everyone can be provoked at will. Uchiha clan, I spit on you!"

It had been a long time since the Blood Ninja had been so proud. He had killed two disciples of great clans in a row without even suffering a single injury. When he escaped to the Land of Earth and joined a new family, this would be his capital. The only pity was that the Uchiha kid was torn into pieces by the explosive force. Those Sharingan eyes were good things. If he could get them, he didn't know how many benefits there would be, but he wasn't greedy. If he couldn't get them, so be it. If he got them, it might attract endless pursuit from the Uchiha family. At that time, the family in the Land of Earth might not be able to protect him.

Just as he was preparing to prepare some dry food and turn to leave, a little cold light suddenly magnified in front of him. He was shocked and instinctively dodged to the side, letting this cold light pass by. It was a kunai.

"What's going on? Are there new pursuing ninjas coming?" The Blood Ninja's heart sank slightly. He turned around and saw Kaito standing in the original viewing position, without him noticing at all.

"Where are you looking?"

A voice suddenly came from his ear, and a cold light flashed.

"How is it possible!" The Blood Ninja's eyes narrowed sharply. How could the child who was clearly far away just now suddenly appear in front of him and slash at him with a sword?

His years of fighting experience saved him. Before his mind could react, his body had naturally taken action. His right hand met the sword with a kunai, and he suddenly activated the Body Flicker Technique with force under his feet.

However, because he was defending in a panic, although he deflected the sword's momentum, he still failed to block it. When he body flickered to the rear, he felt a chill on his forehead. He reached out and touched it, and his hand was covered in blood. A wound had been cut on his forehead.

When he looked again, the child was still standing in the original place, as if he had never moved. He couldn't help but feel an inexplicable fear in his heart. He had never encountered such a bizarre situation.
