Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 149 Playing the Role

sunset.

The afterglow of the setting sun bathed Ye Cang, making her appear even more ethereal.

With her well-proportioned figure and impressive height, Yekura looked like a goddess at that moment.

It's not surprising that this young man from Sunagakure became flustered when such a goddess stood before him.

"Were you attacked by those shadow clones just now...?"

Yecang glanced casually at the injured man being carried on his companion's back, without giving it much thought, and simply asked about the situation at the time.

This enemy was very cunning, constantly releasing shadow clones during their escape to distract them and divert their attention.

This trick, though old-fashioned, is very effective; otherwise, they wouldn't have failed to catch their opponent after so much time.

"I'm so sorry! The attack came so suddenly that we didn't even get a clear look at the attackers... But we were attacked about five kilometers to the northwest..."

"Is that so?"

This Sand Village Chunin felt deeply ashamed of his and his comrades' poor performance when facing the enemy.

He became even more uneasy, especially since such a goddess had seen their disheveled state.

"How is the injured person?"

"It's nothing serious, I was just caught in their illusion, so I'm a little immobile for a moment."

He answered all the questions the other person asked without reservation, especially since the other person was concerned about his companion's injuries.

"Illusion?"

After taking a closer look at the figure being carried on his companion's back, Yecang didn't say anything more, but simply waved his hand, indicating that the other party could leave!

She already knew that this unnamed enemy was also a bloodline ninja. When she first caught up with the shadow clone, she recognized the enemy's eyes and knew that it was the infamous 'Uchiha' from the ninja world.

Moreover, the opponent's illusion technique was not to be underestimated. At that time, just a shadow clone almost caused her considerable damage. If she hadn't been a Jonin with considerable strength, she would have almost fallen for the opponent's trick.

However, I didn't expect the other party to be so cunning. So far, the other party's true form has not been revealed.

"You can't escape..."

By now, the opponent had created about twenty shadow clones. She estimated that the opponent was now at their limit.

Judging from the other person's figure, he was quite young, probably only thirteen or fourteen years old. In her opinion, using this kind of ninjutsu so frequently was nothing more than drinking poison to quench thirst.

"I guess they want to stall until nightfall, which would make this area even more suitable for them to hide..."

That should be their intention, but if it drags on until night, it won't be good news for our search team.

We need to hurry!

After mentally simulating the other party's intentions, Ye Cang did not linger there. He turned around and re-entered the forest, heading northwest.

She even skipped the greeting to the Chunin who had just questioned her. The reason she had spoken to him was mainly to see if he had any useful information, and also to observe him...

Now that she had finished asking the questions, she naturally wanted to hurry up and start searching for the enemy again!

He only left the other person with a beautiful back view...

"She really is a rare beauty..."

Just as the Chunin was still captivated by the other person's figure and beauty, a voice came from behind him.

"You're awake, Aida!"

"What beauty! Don't talk nonsense..."

The chunin was extremely embarrassed when his companion's first words after waking up were so blunt.

The other person had already woken up! Hadn't they seen his embarrassing moment?! He hurriedly denied it outright.

"You dare to do it but not admit it! Coward..."

"Aida! You bastard..."

He sensed that his companion seemed different from before, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

That's right, the injured Sand Ninja was Toshiro in disguise. Just as Yekura had guessed, Toshiro was already at his last gasp at this time.

Not only was he extremely exhausted, but his chakra was also severely depleted.

Left with no other choice, he decided to risk attacking the ninja squad, disguising himself as a Sand Ninja to infiltrate their ranks.

This way, I can rest properly as an injured person and catch my breath.

However, this would undoubtedly increase the risk significantly. If the other party were to notice, one could very well find themselves in a deadly predicament.

Just now, when Yekura came over, she scared Toshiro quite a bit. If the other party had noticed anything, he would have been in danger.

Then he won't just be facing Yekura alone; the Sand Ninja searching for his whereabouts will pounce on him like sharks smelling blood.

Luckily, the target I chose was relatively short, which made it perfect for my disguise; otherwise, I would have been in danger just now.

Ye Cang came over not just to ask about their situation, but also to check if there was anything fishy going on between them.

Check if there are any signs of transformation techniques or similar abilities on either of them...

After attacking the pair, Toshiro used genjutsu to give the Chunin carrying him a hint, making him mistakenly believe that the person on his back was his comrade.

Furthermore, the figure of the wounded soldier he was impersonating bore an eight or nine-tenths resemblance to Toshiro, and with his disguise, he successfully fooled Yokura.

He was betting that the other party wasn't very familiar with the role he was playing.

As more and more Sand Ninja gathered in the vicinity, the number of teams from different factions increased, and many Sand Ninja only had a vague impression of each other.

Furthermore, the other party was unable to detect the abnormality of this Chunin who was carrying him.

This is why Toshiro chose to give the other party hints instead of directly controlling them with his Sharingan.

If you directly use the Sharingan to control the opponent, some ninjas with keen senses are likely to discover the flaws. However, if you only give a hint, you generally won't be able to detect anything unusual.

Even so, he was extremely nervous when Ye Cang approached.

If it weren't for his long-term cultivation of immortal arts, which made his control far beyond that of ordinary people, he would probably have been exposed on the spot.

Thank you Kishimoto, and thank you to the future crown prince...

If it weren't for them, I would have been in danger today...
