The praise of being all-knowing was a bit exaggerated for Kaito. He was well aware of his own abilities and limitations. The reason he could display such overwhelming cognitive abilities and a broader perspective, as if not belonging to the same dimension, was simply because of the education he received in his previous life.
In Kaito's view, the education level in this world couldn't even be described as subpar. After all, they graduated from "elementary school" after only eight years. What more could he expect?
For these ninja who graduated from "elementary school," if they wanted to acquire more knowledge, they had to rely on their own understanding and insights gained through continuous practice. While there was nothing wrong with such an approach, the problem lay in the "tool"-oriented mindset of the ninja, which restricted their thinking.
Moreover, their limited education prevented them from thinking too much, naturally trapping them in a fixed thinking pattern.
That's why someone like Uchiha Itachi, whose perspective reached the ceiling of the ninja world, ended up doing things that were difficult to comprehend. Simply put, his level of understanding was just not enough!
Of course, Kaito had nothing to be proud of either. Because any fellow transmigrator from his previous world, after receiving a certain education, could achieve the same.
For transmigrators like them, they always maintained the mindset of "As long as there are kings, nobles, and generals, why bother with anything else?"
In a world like this, they might choose to "play it safe and stay out of trouble," but if pushed to the limit, they could say "to hell with the Hokage" and even do something as audacious as "sweeping through the Six Realms to rectify the world."
As for Kaito, he was just trying to survive. To be honest, if he hadn't been kidnapped by the system, he would have planned to run away.
"So, did I bring shame upon transmigrators before?"
Whether he brought shame or not, Kaito didn't know. But what he did know was that if things continued to develop like this, Shisui would truly become his "little fanboy."
Sometimes, Kaito wondered what impact it would have on Shisui if he organized and shared the knowledge he acquired from his previous life. However, after thinking it through, he decided against it. It would be incredibly draining to undertake such a task.
Moreover, having Kaito systematically organize knowledge he hadn't touched in over ten years, even though it felt as if that knowledge was engraved in his DNA, would be quite challenging.
Many of the contents he had entrusted to his teachers, such as the mathematical knowledge he had once learned. Now, if you asked him to write a formula, he wouldn't be able to do it.
After a good night's rest, Kaito and Shisui set off early the next morning. Dealing with a guy like Raiga would be relatively manageable if certain jutsu were excluded.
However, the problem was that he was a Mist Village shinobi who possessed a jutsu that countered the Uchiha clan, the Hidden Mist Technique .
The Hidden Mist Technique had a certain degree of blocking ability against the Sharingan, which made both Kaito and Shisui somewhat wary. But it was only a sense of wariness.
Kaito alone could teach this guy a lesson with his Dancing Sky Technique. If necessary, he could simply take to the air and rain down Fire Release from above. As for Shisui, he most likely already had the Mangekyou Sharingan.
In addition, this kid's speed is frighteningly fast. It's likely that Raiga could evade his attacks if he sensed them beforehand, or even counterattack!
Moreover, now they were two Uchiha working together. If they couldn't handle this guy, then they might as well give up.
Soon, the two of them had entered the small village. The village appeared desolate and sparsely populated, seemingly filled with fishermen as far as the eye could see.
After exploring the village, they seemed to have not found their target, which made Kaito and Shisui somewhat doubtful.
"Could he have already left?" Kaito asked curiously, standing on a small hill outside the village.
"I'm not sure. We asked the residents earlier, and they confirmed that Raiga was here," Shisui shook his head. "But as for where he is now, I don't have much information either."
Upon hearing Shisui's words, Kaito could only nod helplessly. Indeed, intelligence was just intelligence, especially the intelligence they possessed was not real-time information.
This meant that their intelligence could deviate due to changes in the actual situation, which was common in the ninja world.
Therefore, for ninjas, they also needed to have strong adaptability and flexibility in order to ensure the successful completion of their missions.
"Then let's wait and see." Kaito thought for a moment before speaking directly, "But let's be prepared. Track his location, roughly determine the direction he's heading, and wait here at the same time."
"Yes, leave the tracking to me." Shisui immediately nodded and then turned away without further ado.
Shisui's tone and actions made Kaito both cry and laugh. Did this guy really see himself as a subordinate?
But it wasn't a bad thing. After all, it saved him a lot of trouble.
Besides, Shisui was born in the ANBU, and he was definitely an expert when it came to tracking.
"Once we deal with Raiga, this mission will be successfully completed. After returning, I can proceed with the next step of my plan."
The next step of the plan is to rapidly accumulate and win over the lower-level power of the clan. If possible, Kaito wants to gather capable ninjas and even elders to his side.
The Mangekyou Sharingan is no joke. With two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan on his side and a large number of supporters, Kaito believes that anyone would hesitate to oppose them!
"Hmm?" At that moment, Kaito furrowed his brow and quickly turned around to look behind him.
He saw someone slowly walking in his direction, but it seemed like their destination was the village ahead.
This person had green hair and was carrying two peculiar-looking ninja swords on his back.
It appeared that this person also noticed the direction where Kaito was, especially when he saw the clan emblem on the back of Kaito's clothes. He couldn't help but furrow his brow.
"Uchiha?"
"Kurosuki Raiga?"
When they were less than ten meters apart, Kaito and the other person almost simultaneously spoke, confirming each other's identities.
Kaito never expected that Raiga would return so soon after stopping Water.
He had been contemplating teaming up with Water to surround this guy, but now it seemed like a one-on-one fight was inevitable.
Ninjas were never samurais; they didn't need to adhere to any samurai code.
When it came to eliminating their mission targets, ninjas would resort to any means necessary. That was the true essence of a ninja.
Raiga's brow furrowed even tighter, sensing the hostility in the newcomer. "What is the purpose of an Uchiha brat coming here?"
"Of course, I've come to find you," Kaito chuckled lightly, then spoke in a seemingly friendly tone. "Actually, I've come here to borrow something from you, sir."
Before Raiga could respond or even prepare himself, Kaito activated his Sharingan and appeared before him in an instant.
"That something is... your life..."
