Chapter 6: Uchiha and Crow: A Perfect Match

Surviving is what matters!

As the saying goes, in youth we wear many helmets, we don't give heads to Rock Village.

Moreover, if we don't survive, how could we possibly farm reputation?

Furthermore, with the concept of survival in mind, they can act more boldly.

For example, we can carry out a large-scale transfer.

Anyway, Leaf Village didn't clearly state their mission; after completing it, we can transfer, and Leaf Village couldn't say anything.

Do I have to tell you to just die there stuck?

"Kakashi and the others are going to Shenwubi's bridge anyway; running into them and then receiving Minato's protection would be normal, right?"

"The Shenwubi bridge is a pit; in his past life, Yuzhi never figured it out."

"As ninjas, and Rock Village being skilled in Earth Release, couldn't they rebuild the blown-up bridge with Earth Release?"

"But now he understands: it's not that they can't, but that they've lost morale."

"The Third Raikage's death left Cloud Village eyeing them hungrily."

"While Leaf Village was still fighting them head-on, they got ambushed from behind at this critical juncture—who would still have morale?"

"If it happened once, it's bound to happen again—especially when Minato instantly killed fifty ninjas on the front battlefield."

"Under such multiple blows, Rock Village's morale sank and its organization collapsed—what's left to fight for?"

"Since Leaf Village had already enhanced their sensory perception with the Iron Fist, they achieved spiritual elevation through physical means."

"They naturally couldn't just be shell-less turtles, stubbornly holding out; they surrendered, and the war ended."

"It's almost over; just need to get through this period."

"After several days, Yuzhi and his two companions finally entered the designated area within the allotted time."

"Moreover, under the cover of the frontline ninjas launching their attack on schedule, they also sneaked into the area controlled by Rock Village."

"Gazing at the lush forest before them, Yuzhi couldn't help but sigh with emotion."

"However, even if we want to go find Kakashi and the others, we still have to wait a while."

"Although Yuzhi wants to farm reputation, he's not crazy; he won't forget that Madara Uchiha is lurking in Grass Country."

"Moreover, his most urgent task right now is still to draw Rock Village's attention."

"This kind of task is typical: all talk and no action, ending in tears."

"Especially since they lack Rock Village's detailed deployment map, many things can only be done by themselves."

"At one point, Yuzhi felt the Leaf Village high-ups were issuing tasks with the mindset of 'I'm not the one charging into battle; I'm just blowing hot air to vent frustration.'"

"Yuzhi, there's a situation."

"Just as he was pondering, Aoba suddenly spoke softly."

"After getting excited, these days Aoba has felt somewhat embarrassed seeing Yuzhi's inner thoughts."

"Although he didn't say it out loud, he himself remembered thinking that Yuzhi was bragging."

"But he never expected that just a few minutes later, he'd be slapped in the face by a boomerang."

"But this made him trust Yuzhi even more, so for many troublesome tasks, if Yuzhi told him to do it, he wouldn't object."

"For example, having him constantly control the crows for reconnaissance while also ensuring their safety."

"There's a patrol squad ahead, four people, very close to us."

"Any enemies?"

"Upon hearing that, Akai instantly got excited."

"Yuzhi, if we just make a big commotion, can we complete the mission better?"

"Shut up, idiot, listen to Yuzhi's orders!"

"Before Yuzhi could speak, Aoba couldn't hold back."

"Now Yuzhi is our captain; don't act recklessly."

"Although Yuzhi is also a Chunin, his captaincy was appointed by Minato, and Akai and Aoba also agreed."

"Especially after the previous analysis, Aoba trusts Yuzhi even more."

"No, this time we shouldn't make too big a commotion."

"Yuzhi thought for a moment, then spoke."

"Akai, although doing this fits our mission goal, don't forget we still have more to do."

"We want to draw attention while causing more destruction, so the enemy becomes more alert and more people come this way."

"This would be very advantageous for us."

"There's also an excuse to shift."

"Is that so?"

"Akai gave Aoba an apologetic glance; he certainly knows he sometimes has problems, and being scolded is normal."

"Soon he turned to Yuzhi and then asked curiously."

"Then what should we do?"

"Yuzhi spoke directly, his gaze on Akai."

"We need to take a live captive, so we can gather more intel."

"So, Akai, you need to stay calm and not cause accidents like before."

So, Akai, you need to stay calm, don't cause accidents like before again.

"Akai nodded somewhat embarrassedly."

"Aoba, this time you need to exert more effort, just like in Whirlpool Country—can you hold up?"

"Aoba, this time you need to put in more effort, just like when we were in Whirlpool Country, can you hold on?"

Yuzhi nodded, although he still didn't quite trust Akai, but he also turned his gaze toward Aoba.

"No problem."

Aoba directly nodded, his face also showing some eagerness to try.

"Then, let's move."

Seeing this, Yuzhi directly gave the order; in an instant the three of them disappeared from the spot, each having found a hiding place.

Yuzhi hid in a patch of grass; he immediately activated his Sharingan, two black tomoe slowly rotating in his crimson eyes.

Not long after, four Rock Ninja had walked toward their direction, and their conversation was already clearly audible.

"Captain, why can't we go to the front lines, instead having to patrol the rear?"

A young-looking Rock Ninja spoke resentfully, obviously dissatisfied with the current situation.

"I know you want to avenge your brother, but serving in the rear is still serving the war."

A slightly older Rock Ninja spoke up to comfort, but his tone was also stern.

"And don't forget how Leaf Village defeated Mist Village; do you want such a thing to happen here as well?"

Yuzhi quietly listened to their words; at this moment he could already confirm who was the captain of this squad.

Swish, swish, swish—

The sound of breaking air rang out as soon as the four Rock Ninja reached a suitable position, and several kunai swiftly flew toward them.

"Ambush!"

Although the attack was sudden, these four Rock Ninja obviously reacted quickly.

After all, this is a battlefield; even though they're in the rear, their conversation shows they are on guard against Leaf Village.

That Rock Ninja Captain, a person rich in combat experience, after quickly alerting his teammates, immediately drew a long sword and blocked all the incoming kunai.

But just as their attention was drawn to the throwing knife, Shangcheng Qingye also sprang into action.

"Scattering Thousand Crows Technique!"

In that instant, accompanied by the emergence of smoke, countless crows densely appeared around them.

These crows blocked their vision and further obstructed their movements.

"This is."

The Rock Ninja Captain also froze for a moment, but when he heard the tragic cries from beside him, his face immediately darkened.

"Damn it!"

He fiercely swung his blade, trying to disperse the crows, but at that very moment the crows rapidly scattered.

A youth suddenly appeared before him, the youth's eyes crimson; with just a slight shift, he dodged his ninja sword.

"Leaf Village, Uchiha."

The Rock Village Captain instantly guessed his identity, but the next moment he felt a pang of pain in his abdomen.

"Newbie new book, please follow and collect~"
