Chapter 49 - Chapter 49: The Battlefield's Killing Machine

Land of Fire Border.

Mirai Uchiha moved swiftly through the dense forest.

After reaching a location far from Konoha's main camp, Mirai Uchiha silently closed his eyes.

"Mind's Eye of the Kagura!"

As his perception expanded, countless red dots appeared in Mirai Uchiha's mind.

Each red dot represented a ninja.

"Let's start cleaning up with the closest ones."

Mirai Uchiha opened his eyes, and his figure quickly vanished from the spot.

A week had already passed since he arrived at the front.

In this week, Orochimaru had followed Mirai Uchiha's advice and began sending out various assault squads to continuously attack the Hidden Cloud ninjas, achieving very good results.

Mirai Uchiha had also killed a good number of Hidden Cloud ninjas during this time, plundering quite a few rewards.

After all...

With the Mind's Eye of the Kagura, it was as if he had an infinite perspective.

No matter what kind of camouflage the Cloud ninjas used, they couldn't escape his perception.

Furthermore, since the perception range of the Mind's Eye of the Kagura was up to ten kilometers, the sensor ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village couldn't detect his whereabouts either.

It could be said that this battlefield had become his personal garden, where he could stroll as he pleased.

...

"Move faster! As soon as we scout this area, we'll retreat immediately!"

A burly Cloud ninja urged.

"Understood, we don't want to waste time either."

Another Cloud ninja sighed.

Lately, the war on the border had become increasingly intense. Many teams sent to gather intelligence had mysteriously vanished.

Even several Jōnin had disappeared.

Under such circumstances, the intelligence-gathering teams, which were previously composed of genin and chūnin, were now made up of chūnin and Jōnin.

Their team, for example, was composed of one Jōnin and two elite chūnin.

But even so, the village suffered many casualties every day.

In this situation, spending one more second outside meant one more degree of danger.

Just as the three of them had inspected a part of the area, a figure clad in black suddenly lunged in their direction.

"Enemy attack!"

The Hidden Cloud ninjas immediately drew their weapons and took up a combat stance.

Seeing that the approaching enemy was just a teenager, the three Cloud ninjas exchanged a look and simultaneously rushed towards him.

On the battlefield, they didn't underestimate any opponent.

However, before they could even move, the three of them felt their bodies become uncontrollable.

Looking down, they saw that their shadows had, at some point, connected to a mass of darkness.

The next second, a large amount of gold dust engulfed their bodies.

"Sand Waterfall Funeral!"

Splash!

With the exception of the Jōnin, who at the last moment used a secret jutsu to break free from the Shadow Possession Jutsu, the other two Cloud ninjas were directly crushed into a pulp of flesh.

"Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai... Is that Rasa, from the Hidden Sand Village?!"

The Hidden Cloud Jōnin retreated quickly, his eyes filled with horror.

This distinctive Kekkei Genkai was easy to recognize; in the ninja world, apart from Rasa, no one else possessed the ability to control gold dust.

What he didn't understand was why Rasa would travel thousands of kilometers from the Hidden Sand Village to here to attack them.

From the current perspective, shouldn't the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Sand Village have the same objective?

Looking back, he saw that the young man pursuing him was expressionless, his gaze filled with coldness. At the same time, a kunai was thrown from his hand, flying towards him at high speed.

Swoosh!

The Cloud Jōnin dodged to the side, and the kunai grazed past him. He pushed his speed to the maximum.

"Possible presence of Rasa from the Hidden Sand Village in the vicinity, and he has attacked us." He had to transmit this crucial information back to the village!

But what he didn't expect was that the young man, who had been tens of meters away just a moment ago, suddenly appeared right in front of him.

"Rasengan!"

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully plundering the reward: Chakra +1!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully plundering the reward: Constitution +1!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully plundering the reward: Lightning Sword Technique: Thunder Fall!]

Hearing the system notifications, the black-haired youth directly used a fire jutsu to completely incinerate the corpses of the three Cloud ninjas.

Immediately after, he charged towards his next target without stopping.

...

The slaughter continued until the sun went down.

In just one day, Mirai Uchiha had eliminated more than a dozen ninja teams.

The number of Cloud ninjas who died at his hands was over thirty.

And that was only because the Hidden Cloud ninjas were too scattered; otherwise, the number of ninjas killed by his hands would have been much higher.

Mind's Eye of the Kagura, Flying Thunder God Jutsu, Rasengan, Shadow Possession Jutsu, Chidori, Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai...

Combining his various powerful trump cards, Mirai Uchiha was like a god of slaughter, cutting through them as if they were vegetables.

Even elite Jōnin, faced with his countless combos, couldn't stop him in the slightest.

"That's enough for today."

Looking at his attribute panel, which had increased considerably, Mirai Uchiha headed with satisfaction towards Konoha's main camp.

In these past few days, in attribute points alone, he had already gained nearly 300.

A growth rate that even he found somewhat absurd.

If it weren't for killing enemies on the battlefield, and he had to rely solely on combat rewards, it probably would have taken him a year to accumulate all these attribute points.

...

Hidden Cloud Village.

Crack!

With a furious roar, the massive solid wood desk instantly shattered into pieces.

A's body was enveloped in arcs of electricity, and his murderous intent filled the entire room.

"Dammit! What the hell is going on?"

"Why have we lost so many ninjas?"

"Haven't you gathered a single piece of useful intelligence?"

Originally, with his and Killer Bee's participation, the war was going smoothly.

The Konoha side was constantly retreating to protect themselves from their surprise attacks.

But starting a few days ago, their ninjas began to disappear continuously.

To date, a total of twenty Jōnin had gone missing.

And the number of genin and chūnin was countless.

If this continued, they might as well just surrender directly!

"Lord A, it's highly likely that Konoha has adopted the same tactic as us, forming assault squads to specifically target our ninja teams sent to gather intelligence."

"That's why the current situation has occurred."

Mabui analyzed calmly.

When A was furious, only she dared to speak up.

"Of course, I know that! What I'm wondering now is... how the hell can they pull something like this off?"

Even if the enemy adopted the same strategy as him, finding his ninjas along the extensive border line was no simple task.

For them to have caused so many casualties could only mean one thing.

Konoha knew the location of their ninja teams like the back of their hand.

"That's also what I haven't been able to figure out."

Mabui frowned.

The location and missions of each Hidden Cloud ninja team, aside from herself as the commander-in-chief, not even A or Killer Bee knew in detail.

Under these circumstances, how could Konoha ambush their teams with such precision?

"Never mind! Regroup the ninjas, and when we're ready, we'll launch a full-frontal assault on Konoha!"

Hearing A's words, Mabui nodded.

The Hidden Cloud Village couldn't afford a war of attrition.

Since their previous strategy had been deciphered by Konoha, if they wanted to win this war, their only option was a swift and decisive battle.
