In this battle, fewer than ten members of the three clans escaped.
When the news reached the main camp, it immediately boosted the morale of all the members.
On the other hand, all the members of the three clans were filled with fear, dreading an encounter with Kyosuke's army, which seemed like a harbinger of doom.
[Points: 16,721]
With the battle over, Kyosuke was getting closer to reaching 20,000 points.
This meant he would soon be able to exchange for an S-level ninjutsu.
His target was already chosen: the S-level ninjutsu, the space-time technique known as "Flying Thunder God."
With it, he would be able to both attack and retreat, and few in the ninja world would be able to threaten him.
Even though early on, Flying Thunder God was mainly seen as a technique for fleeing and traveling, Kyosuke still loved it.
In close combat, the Shisui Body Flicker Technique was more practical, as it had no limitations based on space coordinates.
In the later stages of the Great Ninja War, Sasuke was able to penetrate Madara Uchiha's arm after his resurrection with a super-speed continuous attack.
Meanwhile, Tobirama using Flying Thunder God with Impure World Reincarnation, the technique couldn't even touch a single hair on Madara.
According to Kyosuke's understanding, space-time ninjutsu was far more terrifying than any other type of Body Flicker Technique before reaching the Super-Kage level.
However, when one's power reached a certain level, especially within the realm of the "Sage of Six Paths," the importance of space-time techniques would greatly decrease.
Evidence for this was that the Impure World Reincarnation versions of Minato and Tobirama used Flying Thunder God to launch sneak attacks, but couldn't even touch a hair of Six Paths Madara.
In contrast, techniques like Guy's Eight Gates, Sasuke's lightning-enhanced physical strength, and Naruto's Nine-Tails Chakra Mode were able to force even Six Paths Madara to take damage.
Of course, battles at that level were still far beyond Kyosuke's reach.
Right now, he needed survival techniques, and nothing could compare to space-time ninjutsu when it came to disappearing and reappearing without a trace.
After closing the system panel, Kyosuke abandoned the task of cleaning the battlefield and, according to the intel, hurriedly led his men to the next encirclement point.
Meanwhile, two other Jonin who were also leading troops were feeling somewhat impressed.
"They say the young clan leader has similar talents, but I don't think that's necessarily true."
"Heh, the clan leader... You know what I mean."
"Let's not talk about it. We don't want outsiders to hear."
"Hahaha, well said, outsider."
After cleaning up the bodies in the Gobi Desert, the two teams began to count their casualties.
After a brief discussion, they unanimously decided to act together.
Not everyone could have high mobility and deadly techniques like Kyosuke's army.
For their own safety, it was better to stick together and avoid being schemed against by Nara Higashihiko in the shadows.
"Let's go and join up with the main force."
---
Boom!
Nara Higashihiko smashed the desk in front of him.
"Can someone tell me why such ridiculous battle reports are coming in?!"
"87 people, and in just three rounds, they're already torn to shreds, and the other side has zero casualties?!"
"Are you all wearing pig brains on top of your heads?!"
It was no wonder he was so angry—this battle report was simply unbelievable.
If Uchiha really had that kind of strength, what was the point of fighting?
Everyone would just wash their necks and wait to be slaughtered.
At the entrance of the tent, a messenger shakily picked up the report, hesitating for a while before cautiously speaking, "It might have been a moment of carelessness. After all, such army-level ninjutsu is rare."
"We've already sent the intel to all the troops. With that preparation, we believe similar situations won't occur again."
"Report!!!"
Before the messenger could finish, another colleague rushed into the tent, stumbling.
"Report, boss! We just got word that the Seventh Unit encountered Kyosuke's army!"
Hearing this, Nara Higashihiko suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with the madness of someone about to devour others.
He had a feeling that the intel being passed on would definitely not be good news.
Sensing the leader's madness, the messenger swallowed hard and nervously spoke, "The Seventh Unit fought bravely, but... but the enemy's strength was too troublesome."
"Each battle started with a bang and didn't even give the Seventh Unit a chance to encircle them."
"After three days and nights of fighting, the Seventh Unit had no choice but to retreat."
"How are the casualties?"
Nara Higashihiko's voice was dark and ominous, his forehead veins bulging, barely able to control the fury in his chest.
"The Seventh Unit had 216 people, and now only 103 clan members remain."
Boom!
Nara Higashihiko kicked the cover off in front of him and grabbed the messenger by the collar, demanding in a slow, forceful voice, "Tell me—how many casualties did the enemy have?!"
The poor messenger could even see the blood emerging from his leader's clenched teeth.
It was a display of rage taken to the extreme.
Despite that, the messenger still had to deliver the final blow.
"The enemy..."
"Speak, don't hesitate!"
Closing his eyes tightly, the messenger summoned every last ounce of strength to speak the truth: "The enemy had two killed in action, seven wounded, and Uchiha Kyosuke was unharmed."
After waiting in silence for a long time, the messenger did not receive the expected terrifying punishment.
When he cautiously opened his eyes, he saw that Nara Higashihiko's eyes had rolled back, and he was staggering backwards, collapsing to the ground.
Boom!
"Ah, someone! The leader has fainted!"
Soon, the news of Nara Higashihiko fainting from rage spread quickly.
The Southern Army naturally mocked him to no end, while Uchiha Kyosuke's name spread far and wide.
In this battle, Kyosuke had cleverly used the terrain and the terrifying mobility of Chidori to his advantage.
He attacked from a distance every time, struck fast, and left quickly, never giving the enemy a chance to encircle him.
He chased the enemy for thirty miles, launching surprise attacks every night.
By the end, many of the enemy were terrified at the sound of thunder, even without seeing him.
Of course, the process wasn't without its difficulties. During the final push, casualties were inevitable.
Two died on the spot, and the remaining seven were heavily wounded.
Their lives were spared, but they could no longer fight on the battlefield.
Fortunately, his reputation had already spread far and wide, and many clan members sought to join his ranks.
When they returned to camp and announced that they were recruiting additional members, the area was nearly trampled by the crowd.
Seeing this, Uchiha Rei laughed heartily, personally stepping in to calm the crowd and lavish praise on Kyosuke's performance.
"Due to your outstanding contributions, I am hereby granting permission to increase your unit size to fifty members."
Everyone knew this was a sign of the commander grooming Kyosuke for a future leadership position.
Even Uchiha Tajima couldn't openly target him, despite the irregularities in the rules.
After all, wasn't it the same for his son's subordinates?
"Order given: Uchiha Kyosuke has made tremendous contributions. He is hereby appointed as the Deputy Commander of the Southern Army Corps."
Upon hearing this, the crowd fell silent for a few seconds before erupting in wild cheers.
"Long live Kyosuke-sama!"
"Long live Kyosuke-sama!"
"Long live Kyosuke-sama!"
