Chapter 24: Dying? (Please follow and read)
Without any pause, after explaining to Sakukaze and Kakashi, Uchiha Fugaku directly activated his Sharingan and killed towards the Rain Hidden ninja.
Between the clashing of cups, Uchiha Fugaku's kunai had already collided with the Rain Hidden ninja's sword dozens of times.
"Are you the demigod's guard of Rain Hidden? Why did Rain Hidden send you out for such a small mission as destroying a caravan?"
Slightly pulling away the distance, Uchiha Fugaku asked the Rain Hidden ninja with a solemn expression.
Uchiha Fugaku, who was already knowledgeable, could already determine the opponent's origin through the just-concluded probing exchange.
However, it was precisely because he confirmed it that Uchiha Fugaku felt surprised.
Not to mention the four Chunin at the beginning, the Rain Hidden ninja who sneaked up later, even if judged by the standards of the Five Great Ninja Villages, definitely had the strength of an Elite Jonin.
Although the Amegakure Village was not weak, it could even be said to be the number one village under the Five Great Ninja Villages.
But the strength of the Amegakure Village was mostly built on the demigod Hanzo of the Salamander. Ninjas like this who possessed the strength of an Elite Jonin couldn't be said not to exist, but they were definitely not many. Each one could be said to be a treasure of the Amegakure Village.
Like the mission of assassinating and destroying a caravan, how could they send an Elite Jonin after sending four Chunin? Did they really think the foundation of the Amegakure Village was so thick that it could be wasted at will?
"Hehe, destroying a caravan naturally doesn't need me, but who said my target was them?"
With a ferocious laugh, the Elite Jonin from Rain Hidden didn't hide his intention at all.
Of course, it wasn't because his ninja quality was not enough.
Being able to grow to this point in the Amegakure Village, it could be said that his ninja quality had almost touched the ceiling.
For him, even if he died, it was impossible to sell out intelligence related to the village.
The reason he said this was nothing more than receiving orders from above, wanting to add some trouble to Konoha.
Regarding this, Uchiha Fugaku just thought about it a little, and his heart was already clear.
Is it the village that sold our intelligence?
Without saying much, Uchiha Fugaku just thought silently in his heart.
He knew very well that although the mission his squad accepted was not a secret, because of the randomness, the Rain Hidden ninja couldn't possibly have time to investigate such things and make arrangements.
Then the answer was only one, and that was that their squad's intelligence was sent to Rain Hidden right after they accepted the mission and set off.
As for who the guy who could do such a thing was, Uchiha Fugaku didn't need to rack his brains to think about it.
Taking a deep breath, Uchiha Fugaku threw the messy things in his head aside.
No matter what, now was not the time to think about those things.
The opponent was not easy to deal with; even Uchiha Fugaku didn't have the confidence to take down the opponent while protecting Sakukaze and Kakashi well.
"Genjutsu, Sharingan!"
Not daring to hesitate, Uchiha Fugaku's eyes widened slightly, and he sent a genjutsu to the Rain Hidden Jonin.
Unfortunately, the Rain Hidden Jonin, who knew Uchiha Fugaku's intelligence, had expected this and moved his gaze away directly before Uchiha Fugaku cast the genjutsu.
Seeing his genjutsu fail, Uchiha Fugaku didn't feel any surprise.
After all, he didn't think he could take down the opponent with a single genjutsu like Sakukaze.
Drawing his kunai again, Uchiha Fugaku collided with the Rain Hidden Jonin again, not leaving the Rain Hidden Jonin a trace of opportunity to sneak up on Sakukaze and Kakashi.
"Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!"
"Water Style: Water Formation Wall!"
"Water Style: Rain Water Senbon!"
"Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame!"
The taijutsu clash, which was not gorgeous but hidden with murderous intent, was already exciting enough, but Uchiha Fugaku and the Rain Hidden Jonin still had to find flaws to intersperse ninjutsu attacks, raising the danger of their clash by countless levels.
Although Uchiha Fugaku's strength was strong, even much stronger than the Rain Hidden Jonin.
But he had too many concerns, having to be distracted to pay attention to Sakukaze and Kakashi, preventing the two of them from being sneaked up on. He also had to pay attention to the caravan, preventing accidental injury leading to mission failure.
Looking at the Rain Hidden Jonin, not only did he have no worries, but he could also constantly target Sakukaze and others, forcing Uchiha Fugaku to reveal flaws.
The more burdens on one's body, the less strength one could exert.
Even though his strength was much higher than the Rain Hidden ninja, Uchiha Fugaku still had no way to deal with his opponent.
Even just maintaining the current balance had already pushed Uchiha Fugaku's energy to the limit.
"Uchiha Fugaku, the next clan head of Uchiha, with so many worries, how much time can you drag me for?"
Maintaining a delicate balance, the Rain Hidden ninja asked Uchiha Fugaku with a light laugh.
Ninjas were originally existences that could grasp all usable factors. Using language to stimulate Uchiha Fugaku, making him reveal flaws; the Rain Hidden Jonin would never give up on such things.
Uchiha Fugaku naturally knew the Rain Hidden Jonin's thoughts, so facing the Rain Hidden Jonin's provocation, Uchiha Fugaku just laughed coldly and replied indifferently:
"Why do you think it's me dragging time, rather than you struggling? You should know very well that you are not my opponent."
"Heh, naturally, no one dares to underestimate the Uchiha's Sharingan. If I met you alone usually, I would definitely retreat without saying a word."
With a cold sneer on his serious face, the Rain Hidden Jonin said very seriously.
However, the next moment, a sharp light burst out from the Rain Hidden Jonin's eyes.
Glancing at Sakukaze and Kakashi not far away, the Rain Hidden Jonin said again:
"But today is different. Now your weakness is truly too obvious."
"And do you really think that the longer the time drags, the more favorable it is for you?"
"Don't forget, that rising star of your Uchiha has already been poisoned."
"To tell you the truth, that is a new type of mixed poison made by extracting the essence from dozens of poisonous things and mixing it with the deadly poison of Hanzo-sama's salamander. Up to now, it is the first time it has appeared in the eyes of the world, and there is no antidote at all."
"Even if that brat is gifted, how long can he support under such deadly poison?"
"One hour? Or two hours?"
"To tell you the truth, it's already incredible that he can persist until now. You must know that in previous experiments, no one could persist for more than two minutes."
"So, Mr. Fugaku, why don't you guess how much longer your fellow clan junior can persist? Can he persist until I am defeated?"
As the voice fell, the Rain Hidden Jonin launched an attack on Uchiha Fugaku again.
Only this time, Uchiha Fugaku's expression became much worse, and even his counterattack was slightly flustered. ===== CHAPTER 25 =====
