This puppeteer is a bit... well...

Chapter 72 Uchiha Setsuna

The Extremely Evil Squadron that the system rewarded is exactly the same as the Stand with the same name from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure... except that it materializes into a physical object and has no connection with its owner.

He possesses the equipment and military skills of the US Marine Corps, as well as physical attributes that would make ordinary people exclaim "Wow!"... Although there is only one of them, he is not considered a strong person for a ninja.

However, he remains a formidable opponent for Obito, who has just graduated.

After dodging a burst of bullets, he launched an attack on the little man.

But the little man is exceptionally agile.

He flipped off Ryuu's arms, then weaved through the heavy rain, using the rain to conceal his tracks, and circled around to Obito's blind spot to fire.

The merciless bullets left rows of fine bullet holes on Obito's body.

However, the attack hit accurately.

However, the firearms and bullets, being scaled down, were also greatly reduced in power. After piercing through clothes, they could only leave superficial wounds on Obito's body, unable to penetrate even the muscles.

This is why Ryuji calls it a toy.

If you have a squadron of soldiers, plus tanks, artillery, and attack helicopters, then you can barely count it as combat power.

But Ryuji only had one infantryman.

"Damn it, don't run away, ahhh..."

Although the vicious soldiers' attacks were not fatal, they were very painful, causing Obito to scream in pain.

What infuriated him even more was that his physical abilities were clearly superior to those of this vicious soldier, yet he was unable to catch up with him no matter what he did. Even when he threw kunai shuriken, they were easily dodged, leaving him in a situation where he was being toyed with unilaterally.

"That idiot."

Kakashi watched from the side, shaking his head in disbelief.

You can't act recklessly against such a small and agile opponent; the more reckless you are, the harder it will be to deal with.

You have to use your brain.

The other party had clearly identified himself as their target, and could have easily dealt with him with a little thought, but Obito persisted in his stubbornness.

Its outcome is self-evident.

"boom!"

The miniaturized grenade exploded in front of Obito. Although its power was not enough to cause serious harm, it made him dizzy.

He swayed as if he were drunk, and then fell backward.

"Target: Destroy!"

The vicious soldier spoke in a mechanical voice, his small body leaping onto Obito's nose, the muzzle of his gun aimed at Obito's eyes.

"That's enough..."

"call out!"

A kunai flew out from the rain, pierced through the evil soldier, and flew out with its body, nailing itself to the signboard of Ichiraku Ramen.

"Target, destruction, target, destruction..."

The vicious soldier struggled incessantly, but could not break free. The kunai was like a hammered nail, firmly fixing him to the signboard.

No one paid any attention to the little guy's fuss, and their eyes were fixed on the direction from which the kunai had been shot... In the heavy rain, three figures wearing cloaks and raincoats slowly walked towards them, their crisp footsteps sounding particularly jarring in the quiet rain.

Kakashi and Rin both felt the pressure emanating from the three people and became somewhat nervous. Even Minato frowned slightly, while only Ryuji narrowed his eyes.

Although no one knew who the newcomer was, the fact that they were releasing their aura so openly from such a distance clearly indicated that they were up to no good.

"Da da da..."

The footsteps stopped above Obito's head. The strange atmosphere and the face peering over him startled him awake. He instinctively jumped up and turned around in a defensive stance.

"Who is it!"

Obito shouted loudly, and then he saw the other person's face clearly.

The leader had a long, pointed face, his left cheek was covered with a tattoo, and his sharp eyes were full of aggression.

"Shh, Uncle Shh!"

Upon seeing the person's face, Obito froze for a moment, then quickly bowed in respect. As for the person behind Setsuna, he no longer cared to see who it was.

The man known as Setsuna-san glanced at the bloodstains on Obito's body, frowned, and then looked at the people behind Obito.

His gaze swept over everyone, and when he saw the Sand Village headband on Ryuji's forehead, his brows furrowed even more deeply.

He tried to speak several times, but held back, and finally turned his attention to Minato.

"Minato, what exactly happened?"

As he asked this question, he glanced at the vicious soldier struggling, who was nailed to the signboard.

"Uncle Setsuna, it's me..."

"Shut up!"

Cut off Obito's attempt to explain, he reprimanded, "Not only are you at the bottom of your class, but you can't even beat a little puppet. Aren't you bringing shame to the Uchiha clan?"

"I……"

Obito tried to explain, but was interrupted once again. Ryuji chuckled softly, "You talk as if you're so great."

Upon hearing this, his gaze instantly shifted to Ryuji, his eyes narrowed, his black pupils turned red, and three black tomoe slowly appeared.

Long Er instinctively closed his eyes.

Although he possesses a spiritual ocean and is not afraid of the enemy's illusions, it is still his physical instinct that makes him react subconsciously.

"Looks like you've heard of the Sharingan too!" Seeing Ryuji's reaction, Setsuna's face showed a smug smile. "Outsider, you'd better not be too arrogant in someone else's village. Even if Sunagakure and Konoha are allies, you still have to abide by Konoha's rules when you come to Konoha. Your private fight in the shopping street is enough for me to throw you in jail for a few days."

"Yeah?"

Ryuji chuckled softly, fearlessly opening his eyes to meet Setsuna's gaze. "Granny Chiyo, who taught me puppetry, did mention the Sharingan to me. She said that in a one-on-one fight when both sides are of similar skill, the Sharingan is invincible."

"So your teacher is Chiyo!" Setsuna chuckled. "Looks like I left quite a deep impression on her during the last Shinobi World War. Of course, she brought her younger brother along to gang up on me, how could she not be memorable? Hahaha..."

Long Er narrowed his eyes.

Although he could sense that this Setsuna was very strong, he didn't pay much attention to the character who hadn't appeared in the original work (although he did appear, but the protagonist didn't notice).

But it's not hard to tell from this guy's words that he had fought with Granny Chiyo and seemed to have the upper hand.

This surprised him quite a bit.

However, it was just a bit of a surprise, and I didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, neither Chiyo nor Ebizo, or even the two of them together, could defeat him.

"I don't know what your past is like, but when I heard her say that, I thought it was bullshit, and now that I've seen it, I think it's even more bullshit." Ryuji chuckled darkly, disdainfully saying, "What Sharingan invincible in one-on-one combat? If that were true, Madara Uchiha wouldn't have lost to the First Hokage. Or is Madara Uchiha not even in the same league as the First Hokage?"

At this point, Long Er glanced at the expressions of the three men, noticing their changing expressions, sometimes gloomy, sometimes angry.

He chuckled and continued in a sarcastic tone, "Oh dear, I heard that the two of them have been friends since they were children. Is it possible that the First Hokage always let Madara Uchiha win so that they could fight to a standstill every time?"

Otherwise, why does Madara Uchiha always lose but never suffer any real consequences?

"But that doesn't make sense either!"

"Didn't the Uchiha clan publicly claim that the two were evenly matched opponents? If they're not on the same level, doesn't that mean... the Uchiha are just a bunch of cheap, boastful, and fabricated idiots?"

"That's enough!"

The protagonist's last words do not represent the author's views; they are merely the protagonist's way of provoking Setsuna.

Then, I would like to thank the book friends Wuxianghou Wolong Zhuge, Xinling Shenchu ​​de Qixi, Tingfeng Chuiguo de Shengyin Kan Ai de Fanxing, FEK, Huadie Tianya, book friend 20170807180030724, and 5 Jiaotang Buding for their donations. Thank you very much.

Finally, regarding Uchiha Setsuna, this is a character mentioned in the original work when Obito was trying to trick Sasuke, but his name was not mentioned, and he was only shown in one scene.

His name and story are given in the official guidebook: Uchiha Setsuna, a powerful and tough Uchiha hawk who opposed the Second Hokage's policies.
