Chapter 8 The Shadow of War

Time flies, time flies.

Two years passed quickly like sand between fingers in Uchiha Tokumitsu's unremitting practice.

Konoha 30 years.

It was just early summer, and the weather was relatively warm and humid, but at this time, Konoha, and even the entire ninja world, seemed extremely restless.

Since Konoha's first ninja war in 21 years came to an end, the ninja world has been barely peaceful for 9 years. These nine years are also the nine years of Konoha's golden generation.

In the 22nd year of Konoha, Konoha's other blood followed the wife of the patriarch of the wealthy Hyuga family and gave birth to a pair of twins, named Hyuga Nichizu and Hyuga Nizashi;

In August of Konoha's 23rd year, Uchiha's nemesis, the Senju family, who inherited Senju Hashirama's direct lineage, gave birth to a son named Senju Nawaki.

In January 26th of Konoha, the wife of the head of the Yamanaka family gave birth to a son, who was named Haiichi Yamanaka;

In April of the 26th year of Konoha, the wife of the patriarch of the Akimichi family gave birth to a son, who was named Akimichi Dingza;

In July 26th of Konoha, the wife of the head of the Nara family gave birth to a son, named Nara Shikahisa;

There is also a character who has far-reaching influence although there is not much space in the original work, that is, Namikaze Minato, who was born in January 27.

In the future, Sannin, Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya, who will surprise you for a while and have unparalleled power, were all born in the 17th year of Konoha, and they are now 13 years old.

The tragic patriarch in the original book, Uchiha Fugaku, who was born in the 15th year of Konoha, is still a zhongnin in the police department, but it is said that in a desperate battle on a special mission recently, Sharingan was able to evolve into Sangouyu will probably be promoted to Jonin in the near future.

Uchiha Tokumitsu, who has been practicing with Elder Setsuna for two years, has not only mastered all kinds of fire escape ninjutsu inherited from his family, but also has achieved some success in thunder escape and wind escape ninjutsu. In addition, one-handed Uchiha swordsmanship can be regarded as decent. According to his father Uchiha Nakagen, regardless of the physical gap caused by age and the amount of chakra, only in terms of swordsmanship attainments, Uchiha Tokumitsu's The level of swordsmanship is no less than that of the senior Chunin who specializes in swordsmanship in the family, and is unmatched among his peers.

At least, Uchiha Tokumitsu once practiced swordsmanship against his cousin Uchiha Zhina on a whim, but with a small sword, he chopped down Uchiha Zhina, who was full of confidence and intended to guide his younger generations As a result, Uchiha Zhiming, under the influence of many complex emotions such as doubting life, denying himself, grief and indignation, forcibly forced the double gouyu writing sharing eyes to evolve into three gouyu in the exercise, which can also be regarded as a member of the Uchiha family. Second only to Tokumitsu Uchiha, the second-largest sharing eye awakening evolution is a wonderful work.

Since then, Uchiha Zhina has gained a nonsensical nickname within the family, "the Zhina who suffered a thousand swords".

However, Uchiha Tokumitsu also strictly followed the ninja's principle of secrecy, and never exposed his true strength outside the clan, and those in the family who knew his true strength also kept silent under the request of Elder Setsuna. In the eyes of others, he It's just a slightly old-fashioned Uchiha kid.

...

In the morning, Uchiha got up early for two years, washed, changed clothes, and went downstairs.

Today Uchiha Nakagen was secretly dispatched to go out due to a special family mission, while his mother, Emiko, prepared breakfast as usual and looked at her precious son with a smile.

Uchiha Tokumitsu chatted with Emiko while eating breakfast, but regarding his father Uchiha Nakagen's going out and internal affairs, the two tacitly neither said nor asked.

After all, the less people who know about important and secret tasks, the safer.

After Uchiha Tokumitsu finished his breakfast and helped wash the dishes, he was about to go out, but his mother handed over a small ninja bag with a smile.

"This is……"

"This is mom's special detonating talisman. It's twice as powerful as ordinary detonating talismans~"

Mother Emiko was still smiling.

"I don't need it in the family..."

Tokumitsu Uchiha muttered slightly, took the ninja bag and opened it casually, there were nearly a hundred specially made detonating symbols stacked in it...

"So many detonating symbols are enough to fight a small-scale war..."

"Hmm~ The family's arms business is booming recently. Not only the village buys in large quantities, but also many mysterious high-value customers sweep up the goods. Xiao Deguang should collect them first, after all, he is well prepared~"

There was something in Emiko's words, and she also felt that her precocious and intelligent son could understand it.

"War..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu was touched in his heart, and he stopped talking, put away the detonating symbol carefully, and said goodbye to Emiko and went out.

...

Today is also a rather special day.

The competition of the new generation of the Uchiha family will start today...

It's a pity that my father is out on missions, and my mother, as a ninja from a faction that is not in the series, cannot appear.

Uchiha Tokumitsu first came to Elder Setsuna's mansion, greeted the elder as usual, and waited for the elder to arrange today's learning content and training opponents.

...

Today's simulation is a forest encounter, and the training object is the shadow clone who is the confidant of Elder Setsuna Uchiha Homon.

call out! call out! call out!

Three shurikens shot out from Uchiha Tokumitsu's palm in an instant without the slightest delay, drawing strange arcs in the air to attack Uchiha Himono from different angles.

Manipulating ninjutsu has always been a specialty of the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Tokumitsu has naturally done a lot of hard work in this area of ​​training, but he will never be so arrogant that he thinks that his two-year training can be compared with the experienced Uchiha Homon, even if it is just a shadow clone .

However, in the past two years, I have fought countless times with Elder Setsuna's guards. Although there is no fear of dying, even if the training subjects consciously control their power, they still suffer from major injuries and minor injuries. He is also good at fighting ninjas. But in the chest.

Uchiha Himono quickly pulled out a kunai to block, and blocked the shuriken one by one, and the sparks that burst out between the collisions of the blades were particularly conspicuous in the slightly dim woods.

Then, six more shurikens flew over.

Uchiha Himono didn't let the shuriken of the second round get close to him, and all of them bounced away. Uchiha Tokumitsu held the Kodachi tightly with both hands, and rushed forward instantly, getting closer to Uchiha Tokumitsu, and started a close-range fight hand-to-hand combat.

Both of them swung the ninja tools as fast as lightning and thunder, tearing the air, and the blades criss-crossed fiercely.

After all, the weapon used by Uchiha Homon is a kunai that is taken out casually, and its material and sharpness are far inferior to the Kodachi held by Uchiha Tokumitsu.

The two fought against each other for a while, and with Uchiha Tokumitsu's jump, slash and slash, there was a "clang" sound, and Uchiha Himono's suffering was broken without a sound, and the katana's momentum remained undiminished, and it fiercely and sharply slashed at Uchiha Himono. go.

At the critical moment, Uchiha Himono shrank suddenly, and dodged backward like a spring.

"Uchiha Ryu Sword Flame Slash!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu crazily mobilized the chakra in his body, condensed, formed, and released, and swung a sword qi composed of fire chakra to chase.

At this time, Uchiha Fire Gate, who was in mid-air, was caught off guard for a moment, and was struck straight by the sword energy.

"Boom!"

The shadow clone turned into a puff of smoke.

Got it...

Uchiha Tokumitsu was overjoyed in his heart. Although he was only fighting against a shadow clone, after all, this was a shadow clone of a Jonin. Although the strength was not as good as the main body, the experience and skills were not the same.

Just as the smile on his face floated, two broken wooden stakes appeared out of the smoke with a sudden "Boom!".

"this……"

It's a substitute.

A matte kunai silently lay across Uchiha Tokuhika's neck, and the sharp and cold blade touched the skin, causing goose bumps.

"Xiao Deguang, I still won~"

Uchiha Tokumitsu realized at this time that what he hit was just a stand-in stump disguised by the avatar technique of the shadow clone of Uchiha Fire Gate.

"Xiao Deguang, why didn't you use Sharingan just now?"

Although the insight of Sharingan is not as good as that of Baiyan, the increase in personal combat power is far more than that of Baiyan. If Uchiha Tokumitsu opens Sharingan, it is not impossible to discover the disguise of Uchiha Fire Gate.

"I...my chakra won't last long..."

Uchiha Himon slapped his forehead and realized that he asked a stupid question, probably because he got along more often and was amazingly talented. He couldn't help but forget that Uchiha Tokumitsu was only six years old this year...

Elder Setsuna, who was standing outside the forest and staring at Sharingan watching the battle, is still very satisfied with Uchiha Tokumitsu's performance today as always.

However, as Elder Setsuna's most optimistic and most cost-effective younger generation, Tokumitsu Uchiha's personality is obviously more withdrawn. He always walks alone, rarely interacts with his peers, and has almost no intersection with other people in the village. Although it is true that Uchiha's people are rather aloof, there are really few people like Uchiha Tokumitsu.

Zhongxuan and Emiko didn't care, leaving it to the old man to worry about.

Elder Setsuna murmured inwardly.

"Xiao Deguang performed very well today."

Elder Setsuna commented on Uchiha Tokumitsu seemingly plainly after training, but he couldn't hide the satisfaction in his eyes before.

After all, with such an excellent junior, the Uchiha clan and even the entire Konoha, there is no second one.

"I'll give you three days off from tomorrow, so take a good rest."

The smiling Elder Setsuna is very amiable.

"Elder...I don't want to rest, or let Qianzhang and I..."

Before Uchiha Tokumitsu could finish his protest, he was interrupted by Elder Setsuna:

"Four days will be the family competition, this time you want to participate, so take a good rest."

"oh……"

Uchiha Deguang heard the words, no longer persistent.

The Uchiha Clan's huibi is equivalent to a concentrated competitive competition among ninjas of all ages. It is similar to the Chunin Exam, except that the Uchiha Clan's huibi, which advocates force, does not set cultural exams.

"You have also practiced with me for two years, but you have not been well-known in the family. It is time to show it to everyone."

Elder Setsuna said lightly.

After all, as the great elder of Uchiha, he also has his own source of information. Judging from the recent hotness of the arms market, after nearly 10 years of hard work, the restless ninja village has begun to move, and a new ninja war Not far away.
