I know it won’t last long, but every extra minute helps—every life saved matters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Hidden Leaf has replied: the rendezvous point is at the border of the Land of Frost.

Evacuation begins in ten minutes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the tent, all nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one spoke. Every face was grim—they knew how perilous tonight’s operation was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, in terms of elite strength, they held no advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The veteran Kage-level warrior was Darui; the Sand Village certainly had a Kage-level fighter; although Kirigakure's Terumi was uncertain, she was certainly a step above elite Jonin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In numbers, there was no need to say more—any one of the three could field a force ten times larger than their delegation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined, they were utterly hopeless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Stone Village might lack many elite ninja, their sheer numbers were terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought weighed heavily on them, casting a dark shadow over their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was no choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had known the danger when they accepted the mission—so now, there was nothing to complain about.

At the ten-minute mark, he rose and stepped outside, finding a crowd already gathered around the tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are we all here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Tsuchi, everyone is assembled!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Tsuchi nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no more words to say—only waved his hand, then instantly used the Body Flicker Technique and slipped quietly out of the camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others hesitated no longer, following closely behind him as they began their movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, unfortunately,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsuchi’s group had bad luck—just as they reached the border of the Land of Frost, before linking up with the Hidden Leaf reinforcements, they were caught by two pursuers behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darui, Sand!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two, using flight techniques and encased in Gold Sand, had left everyone else far behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, likewise,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If these two had arrived, the main pursuit force couldn’t be far behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tsuchi!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is the meaning of this, Cloud Village?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are Itachi fleeing at this hour?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1135,"2026-06-20T16:36:29.902Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","701d93310b81167e67054c3c9e22ef04dd05bbe09e5305d9db9ad06bed5b90b4","uchiha-in-konoha-starting-off-by-standing-up-to--chapter-319","uchiha-in-konoha-starting-off-by-standing-up-to--chapter-317",371,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fuchiha-in-konoha-starting-off-by-standing-up-to--cover.jpg"]
