Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 171 The Eye of Stone

He easily blocked the enemy's attack.

At this moment, Toshiro was really not in a hurry at all.

Just like the very beginning, the Iwa ninja Jonin named Okayama thought.

At this point, all he needed to do was wait for his comrades to take down the Chunin who had just escaped from his clutches.

From now on, whether it's his current opponents or the hidden Iwa ninja, they'll all be fish on the chopping block.

There was no other way but to escape!

Even the strongest beast that has lost its claws and teeth will meet a tragic end when surrounded and killed by hunters.

Unnoticed by the two sides engaged in battle, a round, dark brown stone sphere lay quietly on the grass.

It wasn't large, only slightly larger than the eyeball of a normal adult, and it was observing the battle through the bushes around it.

This was a reconnaissance ninjutsu performed by a Jonin from Gangshan who was hiding underground. The principle of this ninjutsu is somewhat similar to the Sand Eye in the original work.

In order to avoid being discovered by the Sharingan, it dared not reveal its whereabouts and could only hide in the dark and spy.

"This is troublesome!"

After surveying the situation, Jonin Gangshan's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. However, since he was hiding underground and there was no light around him, his expression was not visible.

He said that because of the current situation on the field.

Although he reacted quickly when the attack came, he only managed to block part of the second wave of attacks.

At first, when faced with those incredibly fast fireballs, he could only protect himself while helping his companions block the attacks.

By the third wave of attacks, they could only hide underground to ensure their safety.

The opponent's offensive was incredibly well-coordinated!

Not only that, it's also very targeted!

They took great care of him, the Jonin leading the team! He was the first to be attacked. If he hadn't reacted quickly, the situation probably wouldn't be much better now.

From the moment they launched the sneak attack, their fate was essentially sealed, unless he was willing to sacrifice his life and stop the attacks at all costs.

At this point, they were completely on the defensive, although none of their three special Jonin had been killed.

They all suffered injuries of varying degrees! In addition, one of them was a sensory ninja, whose actual combat strength was only equivalent to an elite Chunin.

After the attacker and another Sharingan ninja each held off two of their team's top fighters, the opposing team still had one pair of Sharingan eyes left. They were intently watching the situation, constantly on guard against any potential sneak attacks.

He wasn't confident that he could kill a Sharingan ninja in a short time, even if the opponent didn't look very old.

At this moment, their own Chunin combat strength was at a significant numerical disadvantage compared to the enemy's nearly four combat squads of kids.

They only have six Chunin-level fighters on their side, a stark contrast to when they first started.

Everyone has to deal with two enemies!

This won't last!

What's more troublesome is that many of them have suffered injuries of varying degrees.

Burns of varying sizes, along with numerous wounds inflicted by kunai, constantly drained their mental and physical strength.

The Stone Eye slowly turned, looking at the initial attacker and carefully observing the opponent's every move.

It seems the only way to break through this battle is here...

clang!

Having blocked the opponent once again, Toshiro felt his right arm, which was slightly numb from the impact, as the stone club swept towards his waist, and couldn't help but gasp.

We were quite helpless against their reckless fighting style!

After revealing its form, the opponent conjured a dark stone rod nearly two meters long and as thick as a goose egg from the ground beneath its feet and launched a fierce attack on itself.

Just by looking at it, he knew this weapon was heavy, and when it was swung, it made the surrounding air whistle and whistle. When it clashed with his ninja sword, the sound was also wrong; he was more inclined to believe it was an iron rod than a stone staff.

Every attack was powerful and heavy!

Taking advantage of his long weapon, his opponent made him look rather disheveled. Whenever he had no way to avoid a direct confrontation, he could clearly feel the opponent's killing intent towards him.

He fought with a reckless, suicidal style, giving himself absolutely no chance to breathe. Meanwhile, his opponent was extremely cautious, never making eye contact with him.

[Did you think that just preventing the Sharingan would be enough?]

Having already gathered some strength, Toshiro was not going to delay any longer.

"The Enchanted Technique: The Abyss View!"

After being repelled once again, taking advantage of the gap in his retreat, Toshiro formed hand seals with his left hand and cast a genjutsu that was not exclusive to the Sharingan.

As the grandson of Uchiha Rinpoche and also a transmigrator, his spiritual energy is exceptionally outstanding.

It would be such a waste to only study Sharingan genjutsu!

"Hirako!!"

Just after Toshiro finished forming the hand seals, this Iwa ninja, who was not tall but quite muscular, couldn't control his emotions and let out a loud roar.

At the same time, he gripped the stone club tightly and began swinging it around in the air, ignoring the enemies around him.

"How could this be? How could Hirako be here? Wasn't she already killed by the Konoha ninjas...?"

Seeing his teammate trapped in the encirclement, the Iwa ninja was momentarily stunned. If he remembered correctly, his opponent had died at the hands of Konoha ninja not long ago.

How did they end up in front of me at this time?

"Oh no!"

As expected of an elite Iwagakure ninja, in just a slight moment of distraction, this special Jonin who had caused Toshiro considerable trouble had already realized he had been caught in a genjutsu.

"untie!"

Without daring to delay for even a moment, he immediately formed a sword finger with one hand, attempting to disrupt his chakra flow in order to dispel the illusion.

Although he was happy to see Hirako's face and voice again, he did not forget that he was still fighting a Konoha ninja.

All I can do is hope that I can avenge Hirako and lessen the regret in my heart.
