Two sharp glints flashed deep in his eyes, and his gaze toward Uchiha Ryosuke changed.

It was as if they were getting to know the Uchiha clansmen in front of them all over again.

"So you did this for the sake of the Uchiha clan..."

The grudges and grievances between Konoha Village and the Uchiha clan.

In fact, anyone living in Konoha has a slight influence over the village's ruling structure.

Anyone familiar with the distribution of power and interests among the various families will know a thing or two.

Even if they weren't involved, they had at least heard some rumors.

Not to mention a genius ninja like Minato Namikaze.

Although he never participated in the open or covert struggles between Konoha and the Uchiha clan, Minato Namikaze was aware of some of the situation.

Hearing Uchiha Ryosuke say this at this moment, he had already guessed the real reason.

For a moment, Minato Namikaze's expression was somewhat complicated.

Uchiha Ryosuke did not answer his question, but instead said something unrelated: "The enemies on this battlefield will basically withdraw from the Land of Fire within the next few days."

"We need to change the venue for the next match. If you're worried about losing, you can leave now."

After Uchiha Ryosuke finished speaking, he leaped into the air and activated the Advanced Body Flicker Technique, instantly reaching a hundred meters away.

Watching his rapidly departing figure, Minato Namikaze's expression turned slightly serious.

He took out a Flying Thunder God kunai and gently wiped it with his hand.

Then, with a "boom," it disappeared from the spot.

In the early stages of the Third Shinobi World War, Iwagakure's actual target was not Konoha.

Their first target was the Land of Lightning, which was separated from them by the sea.

Unfortunately, the Third Raikage of Kumogakure was stronger than expected, single-handedly holding off an attack by ten thousand Iwagakure ninja.

In the end, the Third Raikage, a hero in his own right, died from exhaustion after fighting for three days and three nights against tens of thousands of Iwagakure ninja.

However, he also inflicted heavy losses on the Iwagakure forces, causing a large number of Iwagakure ninja to die.

Based on this, Iwagakure had no choice but to change its target to the Land of Fire, attempting to carve out a piece of flesh from the besieged Land of Fire.

But in reality, they are already severely weakened and have chosen the wrong opponent.

In the past few days, there have been continuous attacks on the battlefield resulting in casualties among Iwagakure ninja, with battles often involving dozens or even hundreds of people being killed.

What made the ninjas of Iwagakure even more uneasy was that they didn't even know who was attacking them or who was hunting down their forces.

Some say it's "Golden Flash" Minato Namikaze.

Some people also say it is "instantaneous movement and still water".

Some even call him "the man who surpasses Shisui of the Body Flicker," Uchiha Ryosuke.

However, there are also some absurd claims that the spirits of Konoha ninjas who died in battle appeared and attacked the enemies of Iwagakure.

Regardless of the enemy's speculations, these successive defeats cast a deep shadow over the hearts of each and every one of them.

As a result, the high command of the Land of Earth had to order their combat troops to temporarily retreat to avoid unnecessary sacrifices.

Today, the last batch of Iwagakure ninja troops who covered the main force's retreat are about to leave the Land of Fire.

They were now less than three kilometers from the border of the Land of Fire.

In the woods, dozens of figures took turns providing cover, quickly breaking through while setting traps to prevent the enemy from pursuing them.

In the tranquil primeval forest, there is no sound other than the chirping of insects and the murmur of nature.

Just when the group of Iwagakure ninja who were covering the main force's retreat thought they were about to successfully withdraw and safely return to their hometown, a loud explosion suddenly came from behind them.

After a deafening roar, the entire forest was instantly engulfed in thick smoke and flames.

Although the shockwave from the explosion was blocked by the towering trees, reducing its energy significantly, its power still reverberated throughout the vast forest, creating a massive crater with a diameter of fifty meters.

"Our explosive tag trap has been triggered! Everyone be careful!"

Even if you see the explosion making such a big noise, if an enemy were to chase after you and trigger the trap, you would most likely be blown to pieces.

However, these Iwagakure ninjas not only dared not relax, but became even more tense.

Just as their pace faltered, at least ten kunai suddenly appeared before them, flying over with lightning speed.

Strangely, these special kunai, which were longer and sharper than normal kunai, seemed not to be attacking them, but merely flying past them.

Just as the group of Iwagakure ninja were still quite puzzled, an unexpected event occurred...

Chapter 35 Shocking! The Uchiha Clan's Genius!

The kunai that flew from behind was incredibly fast, and it attracted the attention of almost all the Iwagakure ninja the moment it appeared.

However, in the instant their attention was diverted...

Suddenly a figure appeared near the kunai.

"Oh no! It's the Golden Flash!!"

Some people recognized Minato Namikaze immediately upon his appearance.

That was a force that struck fear into the hearts of their troops.

The higher-ups of Iwagakure even issued an order that anyone encountering Minato Namikaze should be dealt with accordingly.

No matter what kind of mission it is, you can abandon it and choose to retreat, and you will never be punished.

It's clear how much psychological trauma Minato Namikaze inflicted on them.

However, at this very moment, Minato Namikaze had just teleported over using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

They hadn't even had a chance to kill these Iwagakure ninjas yet.

Suddenly, a large number of kunai flew over at an even faster speed.

And they killed the first dozen or so Iwagakure ninjas on the spot, one shot and they were dead!

This sudden turn of events terrified the remaining enemies.

They had even forgotten how to resist.

At that moment, more kunai flew over, instantly killing a dozen or twenty more Iwagakure enemies.

All of this happened so fast, almost in a second, with two waves of kunai attacks in quick succession.

Then a large number of enemies fell and were killed.

It wasn't until the third wave of kunai flew over that the Iwagakure ninjas and Minato Namikaze finally reacted.

Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God kunai flew towards the enemy, propelled by his body.

In an instant, seven or eight enemies had their throats slit.

At the same time, the third batch of kunai flying in from the rear also wiped out all the remaining Iwagakure ninja.

Minato Namikaze landed, turned around and looked back, his heart filled with surprise.

He knew, of course, who had attacked those enemies.

Apart from Uchiha Ryosuke, who was following behind him using the Body Flicker Technique.

Is there anyone else with such speed and skill?

But to Minato Namikaze's utter surprise, Ryosuke Uchiha threw a kunai.

It's astonishing that it can maintain such precise accuracy and lethality at such a great distance.

Two seconds after turning his head, he finally spotted Uchiha Ryosuke chasing after him like a shooting star.

Minato Namikaze was once again deeply shocked.

He glanced down at the Iwagakure ninjas who had been killed.

They could clearly see that the kunai stuck in each of their enemies were at least five centimeters deep into their bodies.

Some were even half-submerged in kunai, while others had the entire bundle of kunai inserted into the heart area.

The enemy's wounds were not only bleeding profusely, but also covered in a purplish-black color.

This means that the kunai is extremely powerful.

"I really didn't realize before that his wrist strength was so great."

No, it's probably not just about sheer arm strength.

"To throw a kunai from such a distance and still maintain such power, one must have used some kind of technique..."

Minato Namikaze realized this for the first time.

My assessment of Uchiha Ryosuke when we met earlier was that I had underestimated him.

That genius from the Uchiha clan is not just skilled in Body Flicker Technique.

Just as Minato Namikaze was observing the situation of the slain enemy in shock.

Uchiha Ryosuke had already quickly arrived in front of him.

"You actually managed to take down eight of them first."

Uchiha Ryosuke laughed.

"I am 475 enemies behind you."

"I'll be pursuing this seriously from now on, so be careful."

Minato Namikaze looked up, met his gaze, and responded.

"I can't ask for it."

Uchiha Ryosuke rubbed his hands together, eager for a fight.

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato Namikaze took out a Flying Thunder God kunai and handed it to Ryosuke Uchiha:

"This kunai is a gift from me to you, as a testament to the friendship we have built."

Uchiha Ryosuke looked at the Flying Thunder God kunai in the other's hand.

The special incantation for the Flying Thunder God technique is still clearly visible on it.

"Goodness, Minato Namikaze is indeed not as gentle and harmless as he seems on the surface."

Judging by his appearance alone, it's easy to be deceived and think he's just a powerful and warm-hearted man.

Actually, this person is quite cunning...

Uchiha Ryosuke silently complained to himself.

Minato Namikaze marked the Flying Thunder God kunai with a spell formula.

As long as I keep carrying this kunai.

Therefore, Minato Namikaze could use the Flying Thunder God Technique to instantly appear beside him anytime, anywhere.

The effect was no different from the Flying Thunder God Technique mark he left on Obito Uchiha.

This is someone who planned ahead for themselves.

However, despite seeing through Minato Namikaze's intentions, Ryosuke Uchiha did not refuse him.

"Thank you then."

He casually took the Flying Thunder God Kunai handed to him by Minato Namikaze.

He then explored his own body for a while:

"I don't think I have anything good to give you, so consider it a gift I owe you."

"I will make it up to you after this war is over."

After searching for a long time, all that was found was a stack of explosive tags and some kunai and shuriken. Uchiha Ryosuke smiled bitterly in resignation.

"It's okay, from now on we're true friends and rivals."

"So, where will the next showdown take place?"

"The Hokage position is something I've always wanted, and I won't hand it over to you so easily."
