Boom!
A massive foot, like that of a building, came crashing down, shaking the ground!
Uchiha Shi opened his eyes and immediately saw the enormous body of the Two-Tailed Cat Demon wreaking havoc in an unfamiliar camp.
Cries, roars, the rustling of Kunai flying past his ears, the deafening explosions of Exploding Tags, and, the terrifying beast roaring to the sky!
A blue-black concentrated Chakra sphere continuously formed at its mouth.
And then—
Boom!
The Tailed Beast Ball shot out!
Aimed directly at Uchiha Shi!
Facing such an extreme and terrifying jutsu, Uchiha Shi's heart pounded wildly, his mind went blank, his pupils dilated, and the primal fear of primitive giants surged in his heart!
But, the next moment—
[Talent: Combat Sense (S) activated.]
Uchiha Shi's vision went dark, and he felt his body moving on its own.
"Kumogakure's attack, wake up, all of you!"
Uchiha Setsuna's roar echoed in his ears, followed by debris flying from the explosion.
Accompanied by the sound of bells.
Uchiha Shi shook his head, shaking off the dust that had settled on his forehead.
He opened his eyes, waking up from his slumber!
He found his body in an awkward position, wedged between a half-collapsed wall and a broken beam.
In front of him, Uchiha Setsuna was facing off against three Kumogakure ninjas, all panting heavily.
To the side, Uchiha Seiichiro held a Kunai, his entire body, hands, feet, teeth, and even his activated Sharingan trembling.
"Why, why, why do I, a Chunin, have to face such enemies!"
He shouted, his voice trembling and almost breaking.
#
"Finally caught you, Uchiha rats!"
The elderly Kumogakure ninja, Rami, sneered and formed several hand seals.
Tiger-Snake-Tiger-Snake-Tiger!
A ball of lightning appeared in his hand, ready to unleash.
This was Lightning Release: Spread Shock.
A jutsu similar to Lightning Cutter, it condensed Lightning Chakra in the hand. Unlike Lightning Cutter, which stimulated cellular metabolism, this jutsu radiated lightning in all directions, making it a small-scale killing technique.
The blue lightning glow made Elder Uchiha Setsuna's face grim.
Clearly, the three in front of him were formidable opponents.
Especially the one in the middle, the one-eyed ninja with a black hat, Daisuke.
This man was one of the Third Raikage's right-hand men, possessing the terrifying Lava Release Bloodline, with strength approaching Kage level.
Not much weaker than Uchiha Setsuna himself.
With the Jonin Rami holding him back and the Special Jonin Moroi sealing off any escape routes, their formation was aimed at killing him here!
Realizing this, Uchiha Setsuna's eyes narrowed, and he made his decision.
He turned his head and looked at his two subordinates, coldly ordering:
"Shi, Seiichiro!"
"Go!"
"Complete the mission, I'll create the opportunity!"
Hearing Uchiha Setsuna's words, Rami's face darkened.
His eyes narrowed, and he spoke to Moroi beside him:
"You go and kill those two trash. Uchiha Setsuna likely has crucial intelligence; we can't let them escape. Inform the Uchiha clan."
Moroi furrowed his brow: "Rami-senpai, if I leave, I won't be able to ensure that Uchiha Setsuna is trapped."
"So, you must act quickly. Kill those two and immediately return to set up the barrier."
Rami's eyes were filled with killing intent:
"Today, Uchiha Setsuna must die!"
"Otherwise, with his eye power, he might hold back the Two-Tails in Hell Valley, ruining our entire plan."
Moroi took a deep breath and nodded.
Then, he moved his legs, bypassing Uchiha Setsuna, and charged towards Uchiha Shi and the others.
Seeing this, Uchiha Setsuna immediately tried to intervene.
However, two figures blocked his path.
Daisuke sneered coldly: "Old man, in a death duel, I might not be your match, but the two of us can cancel each other's genjutsu and keep you tied up easily."
Uchiha Setsuna gritted his teeth but maintained his cold demeanor: "Is that so?"
"These young whelps sure talk big these days."

Click, click, click!
Uchiha Shi flipped his hand, drew a Kunai from his tool pouch, and broke the wooden beam, crawling out from under the half-destroyed wall.
Hearing Uchiha Setsuna's order, he pieced together the information he had.
He quickly analyzed the situation:
First, this Kumogakure operation was premeditated.
They planned to release the Two-Tails into Hell Valley to destroy the Uchiha clan's garrison there, achieving the liberation of the Blood Pool Clan.
For this, Uchiha Setsuna, with his powerful eye technique, was a significant obstacle to the Two-Tails' actions and thus their primary target for elimination.
Second, the current situation.
The three Jonin dispatched by Kumogakure were to ensure Uchiha Setsuna's complete elimination.
From the scene, it was clear that it would take all three of them to achieve this.
Now, one of the three had split off to kill him and Seiichiro, preventing the mission intelligence from reaching the Uchiha clan.
This was both a danger and an opportunity!
Uchiha Shi smiled, brushed off the dust, and took a large step forward.
In the original timeline, with the Phantom Body Technique, Shisui would have escaped, and the pacifist Seiichiro would have become the catalyst for his eye opening.
If Uchiha Shi were to die here, he couldn't do worse than in the original timeline.
At least, he had to pass the information back.
After all, the Tendo Company had standards; as a sudden powerhouse, he couldn't perform worse than in the original timeline.
Uchiha Shi faced the charging Moroi, his steps firm, and his gaze stern.
He turned his head slightly and said decisively to Seiichiro:
"Seiichiro-senpai, you retreat, I'll cover you!"
"What?!" Uchiha Seiichiro was startled by Shi's words.
"Are you crazy? That person, I've seen in the records, is a Special Jonin and excels in swordsmanship and sealing techniques."
"You definitely can't match him!"
Uchiha Shi shook his head, glanced at him, and said calmly:
"Seiichiro-senpai, if no one covers us, we'll both die here, and the information won't reach the clan."
"Moreover, if you die here, your Sharingan might be taken, causing the clan's bloodline limit to be lost."
"So, it's more appropriate for me to cover you!"
"You, you..." Uchiha Seiichiro's face changed, looking at Uchiha Shi in shock.
He couldn't understand why someone would view life and death so lightly.
And be willing to sacrifice their life to save him!
The enemy was a Jonin!
This speech almost made Seiichiro shed tears.
He nodded vigorously.
But the next moment, his face turned pale, and he turned to Uchiha Shi:
"But Shi, I don't know how to contact the Neko-Nin Clan!"
Uchiha Shi almost fainted from frustration.
"This... this is indeed a problem."
Uchiha Shi hesitated for a moment, then drew a piece of parchment from the scroll pouch at his waist and handed it to Uchiha Seiichiro.
"Here, take this. It's a one-time summoning contract for the Neko-Nin Clan. Use it and ask the summoning cats."
Seeing the summoning contract in his hand, Seiichiro was deeply moved.
The Neko-Nin Clan's summoning contract was a highly sought-after item.
On the battlefield, such items could save lives!
Yet, Uchiha Shi handed it to him so casually. Uchiha Seiichiro had never seen such a strange and generous person.
It was as if he was entrusting his final affairs!
However, before Seiichiro could shed tears and express his gratitude, The next moment, Uchiha Shi's expression changed, and he pushed him away!
A barrier suddenly rose between them!
Kumogakure's Moroi had already set up a Deadly Combat Barrier, trapping him and Uchiha Shi inside.
Only the living could leave this place!
If Uchiha Shi hadn't pushed him, they would have been locked inside the barrier!
Uchiha Seiichiro was dazed, as if the world had gone silent.
Through the transparent barrier, he saw Uchiha Shi silently shouting at him:
"Go!"
Seiichiro's pupils contracted sharply, and a tear rolled down his cheek.
At that moment, all the grudges between them vanished.
In Seiichiro's heart, Uchiha Shi was a towering figure, radiating a saintly aura!
He fully acknowledged Uchiha Shi!
Ignoring his tears, he scrambled backward, tightly gripping the summoning contract.
"Uchiha Shi, wait for me!"
"I will find someone to save you!"
