Chapter: 39 Sorry, I'm not That Easy

Read 20+ Chapter's Ahead in Patreon

Uchiha Hiroki is one of the few senior elders still active within the clan. He is also the supreme commander of the Western Front.

He is relatively close to Tajima and is one of the rare "nice guys" in the clan.

Even Uchiha Madara, the young clan leader, must show respect and address him as Elder Hiroki.

"Come in, take a seat," said the commander, with no airs about him. It's no wonder Uchiha Tajima trusted him with his son.

"This must be Kyosuke, right? Truly, a hero emerges from the youth," Hiroki said, generously offering his praise.

"When I was your age, I didn't have the courage to step onto the front lines."

After some modest words from Kyosuke, he asked, "Sir, what's the current situation?"

Hiroki sighed heavily. "You've arrived just in time. If you had been any later—ten days or half a month—the front lines would've been lost."

So serious?! Kyosuke exchanged a look with Madara, both of their faces growing somber.

From Hiroki's explanation, they truly felt how dire the situation on the Western Front was.

The Uzumaki clan had mobilized in full force, with over a thousand ninja, each proficient in sealing techniques.

The individual strength of their enemies was not overwhelmingly superior, but their numbers were massively outmatching the Uchiha's forces.

Thanks to the years of defense infrastructure laid out by the Uchiha clan, they had managed to hold out until now.

It was similar to the Southern Front, but unfortunately, this time the Uchiha were no longer the dominant side.

"I want to see the front lines," Kyosuke said, stating his intentions.

As for the coordination with the army, he left that to Madara to discuss.

With the commander's approval, Kyosuke immediately decided to head out alone.

With the Flying Thunder God technique, there were very few people in the world who could stop him.

He quickly marked space coordinates all along the way, leaving kunai at hidden spots where marking wasn't possible. Soon, he crossed the entire defense line and arrived at the front lines.

Boom!

The violent rumble of ninjutsu instantly brought back memories from the past.

"Such a familiar sound," Kyosuke inhaled deeply, a cold smile creeping across his lips.

In his eyes, the Uzumaki clan were nothing more than a bunch of moving points of experience.

No matter how powerful they were, with his unparalleled mobility, he could easily harvest their lives.

Touching the blade at his waist, Kyosuke muttered to himself, "Since I'm here, I might as well collect a bit of interest."

With a swift series of hand signs, his figure disappeared from the spot.

Uzumaki Frontline Camp

With her trademark bun hairstyle, Uzumaki Mito hurried to the front lines.

"Anything unusual?" she asked the officer in charge.

Unlike Uchiha Madara, as a princess of the Uzumaki clan, Mito held considerable influence within her clan.

Even the frontline officer had to bow and show respect when addressing her.

"Princess, there have been no abnormalities," the officer answered cautiously.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the distinct explosion sound of a detonating tag echoed from outside.

"Is this what you call no abnormalities?"

Mito glared at him and immediately rushed to the site of the disturbance.

Elsewhere, Kyosuke, watching the surrounding enemies, let out a deep sigh.

He had underestimated the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques.

He thought the infiltration would be silent and smooth, but before he could even stick a few explosive tags, he accidentally triggered the defense barrier.

Now, his infiltration plan was completely ruined, and he had already lost over ten unlit explosive tags.

What a waste!

With a malicious glance around, he wondered whether he should collect some interest before leaving.

He wanted to show the enemy that he could come and go freely from their main base.

If they forced his hand, Kyosuke could even visit the Uzumaki homeland and check if the Naruto world's daimyo and his harem really did have the famed "three thousand beauties."

It was an overt threat, meant to remind Uzumaki Ashina that the Senju clan couldn't always guarantee their safety.

Quietly drawing his long sword, Kyosuke felt the return of his long-dormant bloodlust.

During the Warring States period, various clans paid great attention to the application of physical techniques, and the Uzumaki clan was no exception.

With the Sharingan's enhancement, he wasn't afraid to clash physically with any foreign clan members.

"Today, I'll turn this place upside down."

Just as he was about to act, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Little thief, who are you?!"

Kyosuke furrowed his brow, looking at the girl in front of him.

Anyone who made him feel familiar was likely someone who appeared in the original plot.

His eyes scanned the trademark bun hairstyle, and he hesitantly asked, "Are you Uzumaki Mito?"

"Indeed, that's me," Mito said, hands on her hips, giving off a strong resemblance to Uzumaki Kushina.

"What guts you have, daring to come in alone! Aren't you afraid of being surrounded by my clan's experts?"

"Experts?"

Kyosuke snorted, openly mocking, "Just the Senju's lapdogs. You dare call yourselves experts?"

"What did you say?!"

Blocking the move of an approaching clan member, Mito stepped forward, her gaze filled with the pride of a princess.

"Let me show you today who's truly the frog in the well."

With those words, the diamond-shaped seal on her forehead vanished instantly.

Yin Seal: Release!

The Yin Sealing Technique, used to store chakra, was a technique that Uzumaki Mito had mastered to accumulate power, which could play a crucial role in turning the tide of battle.

In later generations, Tsunade would perfect this technique, creating the formidable S-rank forbidden technique, "Creation Rebirth."

The overwhelming chakra she unleashed made Kyosuke feel as though he was facing Senju Hashirama himself.

Stepping forward, Mito—who had been a proud princess just moments ago—transformed into a ferocious beast, like a mother dragon.

"I can't match her," Kyosuke thought as the three tomoe of his Sharingan rapidly spun. Seizing the right moment, he sidestepped her assault.

This move completely exposed his identity.

"Three-tomoe Sharingan?!"

"His age... now I know who he is!"

"Uchiha Kyosuke!"

Mito halted her forward charge, turning to face him, her gaze full of surprise and uncertainty.

She had originally thought that Kyosuke was just an ordinary assassin, but now she realized he was the infamous " Demon-Faced Ashura of the Uchiha."

"Has he gone mad?" Mito wondered.

He was infiltrating the enemy base alone. On the surface, it seemed like a brave move, but in reality, it was foolish.

Intelligence reports indicated that Kyosuke was leading the Southern Army to the front lines to join the war against the Uzumaki clan.

Mito knew that they would eventually meet, but she never expected it to happen under such strange circumstances.

"So it's you, Commander Kyosuke. I've heard so much about you," Mito said with a faint smile.

"I've always wanted to meet you. Looks like we finally have a chance to talk."

"Talk?"

Kyosuke raised an eyebrow and said something that almost made the young princess snap.

"Sorry, I'm not that easy."
