章 29: Chapter: 29 Kyosuke Foot Bath Water
Read 20+ Chapter's Ahead in Patreon
"You are going too far!"
Uchiha Hikoichi was furious. He felt that the legion commander was being too biased.
The southern border war was gradually nearing its end, and now the most important issue was what?
Of course, it was about seizing credit.
Just now, one of his subordinates secretly intercepted a communication detailing the date when the three clans would flee.
He was overjoyed to receive this news, but before he could verify it, his subordinates were ambushed by others.
Had he not arrived in time, the intelligence might have been stolen from them.
Bang!
With a kick, Uchiha Hikoichi sent the rebellious clansman flying.
He wanted to teach the person a lesson, but unfortunately, their leader had arrived.
"Lord Hikoichi, such imposing authority you have."
Kyōsuke's tone was filled with disdain.
The harsh tone made him deeply regret his past actions.
Had he not gone all out to save this guy back then, he would have already turned into a pile of bones by now.
"Uchiha Kyōsuke, I advise you not to go too far."
Hikoichi was too lazy to explain. Stealing credit was so common, it didn't even require deliberate condemnation.
Looking down at the young man from a high position, Uchiha Hikoichi spoke coldly, "Don't forget, it was me that saved your life."
"I advise you to stop flattering yourself."
Kyōsuke retorted sharply, his voice cold, "Without my appearance, when would you have ever gotten the position of Deputy commander?"
"You should be the one kneeling down to thank me."
The two leaders were at odds, and the clan members behind them began pushing and shoving.
Just as the internal strife seemed ready to erupt, Uchiha Rei hurriedly arrived with the news.
"Impudence!"
A shout echoed, and a terrifying pressure instantly swept over.
Kyōsuke's muscles tensed, and almost instinctively, he placed his hand on the hilt of his sword.
There was no way around it—the pressure from the clan leader level ninja was just too frightening.
Kyōsuke even thought that unless he used the Flying Thunder God to escape, he would not survive even three minutes under the legion commander's hands.
This was still with his own incredible speed; had it been an ordinary jōnin, they would likely have been killed by Uchiha Rei in just a few exchanges.
"Clan leader-level… indeed, it's a completely different realm."
With the legion commander's appearance, both sides naturally understood that it was time to back down.
Uchiha Hikoichi obtained the intelligence, and Kyōsuke was spared from causing internal conflict—both sides retreated.
"I'll make you regret this sooner or later." Before leaving, Yanichi still threatened him.
Having reached his current position, his next target could only be the legion commander's seat.
So, whether sooner or later, he would inevitably have to turn against Uchiha Rei.
Since that was the case, why pretend to be friendly now?
With the clan leader's support, he believed he would eventually be able to defeat Uchiha Rei.
After all, there were a few hidden old monsters in the clan.
That was Uchiha Tajima's strongest trump card.
If it came down to it, Uchiha Rei would have no chance of surviving.
Speaking of which, Uchiha Hikoichi was indeed a capable man.
After becoming a Deputy commander, he didn't forget to diligently train himself.
In just two years, he had gradually reached the ceiling of jōnin.
With just a little more effort, he would break into a new realm. At that point, he would become one of the clan's elite jōnin.
By uniting the southern legion, Hikoichi could dedicate more time to his training.
In another ten or twenty years, he might have a chance to become a clan leader-level figure.
At that time…
A glint of ambition flashed in his eyes. Clearly, the legion commander's seat was no longer enough to satisfy him.
"Never mind, let's quickly go and ambush."
As the Deputy commander who had been working for two years, he had over a hundred subordinates, all of whom were exceptionally talented ninjas.
By ambushing at the designated location, they could easily defeat an army several times their size.
To many, the three clans now seemed like stray dogs without any will to fight—just a bunch of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Kyōsuke's repeated successes were just due to the enemy being too weak.
If it were him…
Okay, Uchiha Hikoichi admitted that Chidori was an excellent ninjutsu, but the Uchiha clan had been passed down for a thousand years—there had to be something stronger to replace it.
Anyway, he would never admit the young man's strength.
"Hmph, I'll let you be arrogant for a while longer."
"Once we reach the main battlefield, life or death will no longer be in your hands."
"The Senju are not something those weaklings can compare to."
Back at the camp, Kyōsuke ordered Maya to guard the entrance and not allow anyone inside.
"Do whatever you want, but today, you're drinking my foot bath water."
Changing into a new set of clothes, Kyōsuke took out a short sword and silently practiced, adjusting his state.
The plan was almost 70% complete.
From the moment Uchiha Hikoichi stepped out of the camp, he had entered the countdown to death.
Even so, Kyōsuke was a bit worried, afraid that some unforeseen accident might cause the target, who was supposed to die, to escape.
To be on the safe side, Kyōsuke decided to go personally and collect a bit of points along the way.
Now that he had mastered Kenjutsu and was carrying two different types of Body Flicker techniques, with further development, Chidori would cover most combat needs.
Next, he planned to focus on an item that could lead to a qualitative change in his strength.
The Mangekyō Sharingan.
[Exchange Requirement: 100,000 points]
Once he unlocked the Mangekyō, he would step into the clan leader level, which was equivalent to the Hokage-level strength in his past life.
At that point, he would truly be in control of his own fate.
Still, his goal wasn't to have terrifying power, just to be able to always dominate the two gods.
Look, Kyōsuke's-chan request was so simple and unpretentious.
After fiddling alone in the tent for a while, Kyōsuke adjusted his state and quickly formed a hand seal.
His figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.
The large camp didn't even notice his departure.
When he reappeared, he was already about two kilometers outside the camp.
Looking up at the specially made kunai deeply embedded in the trees, Kyōsuke smiled faintly, feeling a sense of freedom as though he was soaring through the world.
With the creation of a batch of specially made kunai, he had instructed his subordinates to bury them at marked locations on the map.
This way, he could quickly travel through the southern border of the Fire Country.
Unfortunately, the Flying Thunder God's technique had a limited range and could not be compared with other types of space-time ninjutsu.
For now, two kilometers was Kyōsuke's limit.
"Space-time ninjutsu based on the eyes focuses more on overall ability."
"The Flying Thunder God is different; its high-frequency, mid-range teleportation is its strongest feature."
Before his muttering even faded, Kyōsuke's figure had already vanished without a trace.
Two days later, Uchiha Hikoichi successfully intercepted the enemy's forces.
However, the outcome was completely different from what he had expected.
From the beginning of the battle, Uchiha Hikoichi found himself at a complete disadvantage.
Had it not been for his subordinates fighting to the death, he might not have been able to break through the enemy's encirclement.
"Damn it."
By now, he realized he had fallen into Nara's trap.
"Don't let me escape, or else I'll make you pay with your life when the time comes," he thought, fantasizing about the day of revenge.
"Too bad, you won't have the chance."
A sudden whisper made Uchiha Hikoichi's hair stand on end.
Before he could turn around, a sharp flash of the blade had already enveloped him completely.
