Chapter 23 - Thirty Lightning Ninjas

In the southern part of the Land of Fire, the Uchiha Battalion is stationed.

Upon receiving the news, Rei Uchiha personally led his men to the entrance to prepare to welcome the hero's return.

"He really succeeded." The division commander's heart was pounding, and his hands were shaking with excitement.

He fought with the three clans for many years, but was never able to completely defeat them.

Now that we have intelligence, we can quickly gain a complete advantage.

If the strongholds scattered throughout the country are eliminated, the three clans will be forced into a situation where they have no way to retreat.

Apart from a head-on fight, the only other option left is to flee to the Land of Thunder.

In short, forget about joining Senju.

"After this battle, the Southern Territory will completely become the Uchiha world."

"Tajima, I wonder what you can use to fight me then."

In a trance, Rei Uchiha seemed to see the scene of himself becoming the clan leader.

"Sir, they are coming."

The voice of his subordinate brought him back to reality from his fantasy.

Looking around, I saw that a large number of ninjas had gathered at the entrance, and everyone was waiting for the return of Kyosuke's team.

Soon, three figures appeared on the horizon.

The leader was none other than Uchiha Kyosuke, who revealed his true identity.

Since his strength officially reached that of a Jōnin, he no longer needed to wear a mask.

When ninjas interact with each other, strength is the only standard for measuring everything.

His young age further proves that he possesses extraordinary talent.

As mentioned before, Chidori is the most suitable ninjutsu for Uchiha. If he can teach it to his subordinates, he can also teach it to all clan members who meet the requirements.

The prerequisite is that you must become his subordinate.

The ninja's speed was so fast that they appeared just a second ago and the team arrived in front of the division commander the next second.

Throwing the unconscious Yamanaka Rumiko to the ground, Kyosuke said calmly: "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission and captured the prisoner."

"Okay, okay, okay." Rei Uchiha said okay three times in a row. He recognized the other party's identity at a glance.

He ordered his men to take the prisoners away and keep them under strict guard. He patted Kyosuke's shoulder but did not leave immediately.

How can the hero's return end so hastily?

Let him enjoy the cheers of his people first.

As a long-term combat target, Rumiko Yamanaka's appearance was not particularly mysterious.

Soon, someone recognized her identity.

"Oh my god, it really is that bitch Rumiko Yamanaka."

"With her, we can destroy the enemy's nests one by one."

"You bastards, your doom has come!"

"Haha, the war is finally over."

"Long live Lord Kyosuke!"

"Long live, long live!"

Faced with the fanatical faces around him, Kyosuke did not choose to escape.

He drew out the dagger with a clang, held one hand in the air, and let out a roar of extreme joy.

The next moment, the cheers almost overturned the entire camp.

...

In the commander-in-chief's tent, Kyosuke and the division commander sat opposite each other.

No matter where you are, there is actually all kinds of filth.

But sometimes, the relationship between ninjas seems very pure.

Changes in strength will naturally lead to changes in identity. It can be said that this is the first time Kyosuke has had an equal conversation with the division commander.

"The next step is to launch a full-scale attack on the enemy." Rei Uchiha said with a little emotion: "For many years, I have dreamed of this day."

"You have laid the foundation for victory in the southern border. Your prestige will be close to that of Uchiha Tajima." Kyosuke did not hide his dislike for the clan leader at all.

Over the past year, those subordinates loyal to Tajima would occasionally try to trip him up.

It doesn't cause any real harm, but it's disgusting enough.

However, Kyosuke still endured it.

He doesn't have the ability to overturn the table yet, so he just lets the other party do whatever they want.

When the time is right in the future, he has already secretly reserved Tajima's head.

Izuna...

All I can say is that the relationship between the two is one thing, but Tajima's head is another.

As long as this person doesn't die, he will never be able to gain power in the Uchiha clan.

"Now you have been promoted to Jōnin." Rei Uchiha was very clear about the strength of his subordinates, so he planned to entrust him with more important responsibilities: "Set up the troops as soon as possible; you don't have to worry about the manpower problem."

One troop leader is allowed to form a team of thirty members.

Taking into account the casualty rate of ninjas, the normal number would generally be lower than this.

Before this, Kyosuke didn't want others to drag him down, so he always fought in a three-person group.

Now that they are about to intervene in the frontal battlefield, even if all three of them are senior ninjas, the role they can play will be very limited.

If the enemy launches any round of legion-level ninjutsu, they might be beaten and run away in panic.

A group of rubbish Kirigakure shinobi can still resist Madara's Katon: Gōka Mekkyaku from the Second Shinobi World War when they gather together. Sometimes, numbers can indeed offset the gap in hard power.

"Thank you, sir." Kyosuke nodded and did not refuse Rei Uchiha's kindness.

He really needs to start building up his power now and have soldiers under his command so that he can have enough say in the clan in the future.

By then, even if Uchiha Tajima wanted to deal with him, he would probably have to think twice before doing so.

While the two were talking, the outside world had actually already started selecting team members.

Uchiha Izuna acts as an examiner, testing the applicants' abilities, while Uchiha Maya uses illusions to screen out potential unfavorable targets.

At first, everyone was quite dissatisfied with this. They wanted to join Kyosuke's team and serve him, so why should they accept your illusion interrogation?

Isn't this looking down on people?

But when Uchiha Izuna personally demonstrated the Chidori and explained that anyone who passed the test could receive instruction from the adults, all the clan members in the camp could no longer sit still.

We are all battle-hardened ninjas, and anyone who is not a fool can understand what Chidori means.

Originally, many people were still wondering how the team had the ability to kill the perfectly equipped Ino-Shika-Chō.

Now everyone knows that Kyosuke actually developed such a terrifying lightning-style ninjutsu.

"Chidori, what an appropriate name." Someone couldn't help but sigh.

Due to limited places, we are currently only recruiting qualified talents.

What are the requirements?

He has no clear faction, is not a subordinate of Uchiha Tajima, and must be proficient in the use of Lightning Release Ninjutsu.

As soon as the three conditions were announced, the clan members began to wail everywhere, while those who met the requirements were ecstatic and looked forward to the day when they could learn Chidori.

After a whole day and night of assessment, the two finally selected thirty ninjas who met the requirements.

No Jōnin came, and all those who passed the request were Chūnin within the clan.

Jōnin are strategic forces wherever they are and join different factions early on.

It's not that they don't want to come, but Kyosuke has kept them out from the beginning.

"Welcome." Activating the three-tomoe Sharingan, Kyosuke said calmly amidst the exclamations: "Follow me, you must have the ambition and will to achieve great deeds."

"Remember, the enemy's core hinterland is our troops' frontline outpost."

"With this awareness, do everything you can to become stronger."
