After thinking for a moment, Itachi nodded and said, "That mission was indeed a bit strange. A C-rank escort mission ended up attracting a large number of ninjas along the way. At that time, I only had the Sharingan with two tomoe, and even Mizuki-sensei was held back."

"The mission level changed during the mission, so we abandoned it. But it was clear that the other side was prepared, and my counterattack at the last moment was a bit too easy."

"It went so smoothly, it was as if the other party did it on purpose!"

Yun asked, "Did the successful counterattack begin after you activated the Three-Tomoe?"

Itachi nodded: "While the evolution of these eyes did indeed enhance my strength, it wasn't decisive at that time."

Is that so?

Uchiha Yun let out a breath. "It seems Danzo's eyes are now set on Itachi. But that makes sense, he's a genius Uchiha who awakened the double tomoe at the age of five."

In terms of the Sharingan, Danzo believed that he was inferior to Itachi. Without the Sharingan, the Uchiha clan was nothing in his eyes.

"I remember reminding you before... why didn't you use the crow that Shisui gave you?"

Itachi was slightly embarrassed: "At first I was prepared to handle it myself, but then..."

The rest is history; Uchiha later developed his characteristic red-eye disease, which led to the creation of the Three-Tomoe.

Is this a common ailment among geniuses?

……

As the two talked, they arrived at the tent where they had set up to rest. Itachi, standing to the side, had already taken out his kunai and was ready for battle.

Two people wearing ordinary masks were seen outside the tent, holding Tokuma and Izumi under kunai and forcing them out.

"Are you asking us to surrender?" Yun asked with a smile.

"You two, if you don't want your comrade to get hurt, you'd better surrender now!"

Yun's eyes twitched at the words of the two kidnappers opposite him. He looked at Itachi and wondered if they should cooperate.

"boom."

Itachi threw the kunai on the ground, and the two of them simultaneously raised their hands in surrender.

The kidnappers on the other side laughed smugly: "It seems that you so-called Uchiha geniuses are nothing special after all, surrendering so easily."

Another accomplice was about to step forward and tie up Yun and You, but stopped in his tracks the next moment.

Yun, who had just surrendered, was now standing behind the two men, with a kunai in his hand held against their necks.

Just as the two kidnappers were about to call for their accomplices, they saw that Tokuma and Izumi, who were in front of them, were also being held in the abdomen by two kunai from Itachi.

“Although we don’t see each other often, your transformation technique is quite different from the one I just saw Tokuma.” Itachi said, putting away his kunai.

Yun, who was behind them, released the two and said awkwardly, "Who wrote your lines for this exercise? It was so embarrassing! You want ninjas to surrender? Raising a hand is considered surrendering?"

The four kidnappers took off their masks, revealing themselves to be teachers from the ninja academy who taught there every day.

One of them said with a wry smile, "Because we weren't familiar with each other, I didn't even dare to speak to him, and you guys still managed to find out."

Yun scratched his head. Quan has his own Flying Thunder God Technique, so no matter how you change it, it won't work.

At this moment, the real Tokuma Izumi returned from the woods, bringing back two prisoners, who were also teachers at the Ninja Academy.

The two looked at the scene before them and immediately understood. Izumi ran over with a grin and said, "So, teacher, you were planning to use the transformation technique on my brother? You miscalculated, didn't you?"

One of the so-called homeroom teachers said with a wry smile, "We all know you are difficult to deal with, so no one comes. We had no choice but to come up with this trick."

Tokuma glanced at Kumo and Itachi. How many Chunin were there to deal with these two? And they were even training Chunin? Wasn't that just sending them to their deaths?

……

On the morning of the third day, Itachi's team, having casually achieved a ranking, returned to school.

Looking at Itachi ahead, Uchiha Izumi asked Yun, "Brother, I also want to awaken the Sharingan. Itachi's eyes are so beautiful."

Yun looked at her younger sister. Compared to her memories, her sister's personality had changed a lot because of her existence.

I don't know what that girl, who awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan at the tender age of thirteen, went through on that night of her clan's annihilation. But for now, perhaps the best protection for her is to never open her Sharingan again?

"Those eyes can only be opened by experiencing pain."

Yun gently patted Quan's head as she spoke: "If possible, I hope you never open those eyes in your entire life. I will protect you if there is any danger, believe me."

……

After the exercise, the school was closed for the holidays, and Yun and Quan prepared to go home together.

However, before even reaching the Uchiha clan's territory, Yun looked towards a distant corner.

"Shh!"

Two figures appeared in front of Yun and Quan, wearing masks different from those of the Anbu, and the swords on their backs and the armor on their upper bodies were very familiar.

"Uchiha Yun, come with us."

……

Chapter 44: One Slash, One Kill

At this moment, even though it was morning, not a single person from Konoha appeared on the street.

The streets were silent and deserted, without even a dog in sight, as if isolated from the world.

Yun looked around. It was somewhat like the Root's usual method of carrying out missions in the dark, as he remembered it. Was it a barrier?

Judging from the information obtained from Itachi, Danzo has reached his limit. Or perhaps Itachi failed to bring back any information after his recent wilderness survival mission, so…

So it's good to have such a barrier...

"You're not from the Anbu, are you? The Hokage's Anbu mask doesn't look the same as yours. If you can't explain your identities, I'll have to treat you as foreign ninjas who have invaded Konoha."

As Yun spoke, he casually took out a kunai and said to Quan beside him, "Go and wait for your brother to kill a few rats. It will only take a little while."

Izumi glanced at the two people opposite him, who were clearly not someone he could handle. These two were different from the teachers at the Ninja Academy; they definitely had a lot of lives on their hands.

After slowly retreating to a distance, Izumi took out a kunai and assumed a guarded posture. No matter what... he couldn't hold them back.

He was clearly wearing a mask and looked like an ANBU ninja, but the older brother said that the other person wasn't an ANBU member, which...

In the darkness, the silhouette of a cat vanished in a flash, turning into smoke.

……

"You have no right to know our identities. All we need to know now is your decision. If you don't leave, I might break your limbs before taking you away."

Another Root ninja said in a low voice, "You're just an Uchiha brat who's still in the Ninja Academy and you're so arrogant. I really want to see your pained expression when your limbs are broken."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two men drew their swords one after the other. One of them instantly rushed out, but just before he did, the clouds moved.

"Shh!"

The sharp kunai slashed down from above, and the immense force instantly cleaved its carapace in two, penetrating three-tenths of an inch into its flesh.

"puff!"

Blood gushed out, revealing a gruesome wound that stretched from his shoulder to his hip.

"boom."

With just one strike, the first one fell to the ground.

Amidst the faint breathing, the other person murmured, "How...is this possible?"

Uchiha Yun, however, seemed to have exerted no effort at all, standing beside him and complaining, "Jonin are just there for show, Chunin are barely passable, and only Genin can destroy the world. What about me, still in the Ninja Academy?"

"Shh!"

A figure suddenly appeared behind Yun, wielding a sword as he spoke: "Turning your back to the enemy, you're truly arrogant, brat!"

"boom!"

The sharp sword struck the ground, and the Root ninja was slightly taken aback before instantly retreating on guard.

too fast!

The same teleportation technique as before—there's no way a kid could use that…

After easily dodging the attack by a hair's breadth, Yun seemed to have never taken it seriously, casually bending down to pick up the sword of the Root ninja who had just fallen from the ground.

After getting up, he looked at the extremely vigilant Root ninja opposite him: "Don't be so nervous... Even though they are unidentified invading ninjas, I will only cripple you."

He was merely casually carrying his sword, yet the invisible pressure exerted on the Root opponent, making it difficult for him to breathe.

How can it be?

He's just a kid from a ninja academy who's never even been on a mission. How could he possibly have such killing intent?

There are also those teleportation techniques that don't even give you time to react, and so on!

In an instant, the Root ninja saw the cloud's eyes.

These eyes are completely different from the ordinary Sharingan of the Uchiha clan... This brat...

"Shh!"

Yun's voice rang out from behind the Root ninja: "Did you see that? What do you think? Can you withstand the power of those eyes?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun's sword slashed down instantly.

"puff!"

Before he could react, the other man's arm fell to the ground, and a large amount of blood gushed from the huge gash in his shoulder, but not a single drop fell on Yun.

The moment the blood gushed out, Yun returned to the spot where she had been standing.

"Boom!"

The intense pain and massive blood loss caused the Root ninja to kneel on the ground, his pale face covered in cold sweat.

How is this possible? A mere Uchiha brat? How could he be so strong?

Those unique eyes were definitely different from ordinary Sharingan. Moreover, according to Root's intelligence, Uchiha Kumo had never awakened the Sharingan.

What exactly is going on?

Yun looked at him indifferently and replied, "Two unidentified people dared to plot against the Uchiha's eyes in Konoha. But how did you know I had awakened my Sharingan?"

Faced with such shameless words, the other party closed his eyes, but seemed to be convulsing due to blood loss and excruciating pain, and eventually fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss.

The two Root ninjas only needed two strikes, one to kill one of them. With Kotomine's ability and Shisui's Body Flicker Technique, even a substitution jutsu couldn't save them.
