Chapter 87 - Chapter 87: Only the weak worry about traps

Inside the tent.

Fugaku Uchiha stood in front of the table, expressionless, looking at the unfolded map, without anyone knowing what he was thinking.

Inabi Uchiha, for his part, said enthusiastically: "Lord Fugaku, we have made a lot of progress lately."

"Those guys from the Mist Village, we have slaughtered them to the point where they don't even dare to show their faces."

"The tables have turned. Lord Mirai has really fulfilled the promises he made when he arrived." Yashiro Uchiha nodded and added: "Thanks to Lord Mirai, our Uchiha clan has become famous in the ninja world this time."

Tekka Uchiha smiled: "I don't know if you've noticed, but the gazes of many of the village's ninjas are full of admiration. Many have expressed their desire to train with me."

"I feel that since Lord Mirai came to support us, our Uchiha clan finally looks like an elite clan."

Seeing the others' excitement, Yakumi Uchiha coughed a couple of times and said slowly: "Lord Mirai has certainly made a great contribution, but the victory in a war is not decided by a single person. The current result is the fruit of everyone's effort."

"For example, Lord Fugaku. As commander-in-chief, he has worked late into the night every day. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to hold out until now with such a great disadvantage."

After Yakumi Uchiha finished speaking, Fugaku Uchiha's expression finally improved a little.

Inabi Uchiha, Tekka Uchiha, and Yashiro Uchiha, for their part, closed their mouths and made no comment.

Mirai Uchiha, sitting to one side, shot an indifferent glance at Yakumi Uchiha and then closed his eyes again to rest.

A while later, a Konoha ninja entered the tent.

"Lord Fugaku, Lord Mirai, we have detected the presence of Mist ninjas on an island near the coast."

"According to the investigation, it seems to be an important outpost of the Mist ninjas."

Hearing the ninja, Fugaku Uchiha waved his hand: "Understood, you may leave."

"Yes, sir!"

When the ninja left, Fugaku Uchiha frowned: "Lately, the Mist Village has been on the defensive. Why would they suddenly expose such an important post?"

"There are many Mist ninjas there. It could be an ambush."

Last time, he himself had fallen into a Mist ambush and almost lost his life, so when faced with this kind of news, Fugaku Uchiha maintained a cautious and skeptical attitude.

But before he could finish his analysis, Mirai Uchiha had already gotten up and started walking towards the exit.

"Lord Mirai, where are you going?"

Yakumi Uchiha asked.

"Didn't you hear?" Mirai Uchiha said indifferently. "Since we've found a Mist post, we naturally have to eliminate it as soon as possible."

Feeling a vague pressure, Yakumi Uchiha said, forcing the words out: "But as Lord Fugaku said, it's very likely a trap set by the enemy."

Hearing his words, Mirai Uchiha covered his forehead and let out a couple of loud laughs: "A trap? Hahahahaha..."

"That's something only the weak worry about."

With that said, Mirai Uchiha left the tent without looking back.

Inabi Uchiha and the others looked at each other, and in each of their eyes, there was excitement and enthusiasm.

Compared to Fugaku Uchiha, they preferred to follow a warrior like Mirai Uchiha.

"Lord Fugaku, we will go to protect Lord Mirai."

Inabi Uchiha and the others quickly left the tent. When they were gone, Fugaku Uchiha suppressed his anger and closed his eyes.

"Yakumi, give my orders! Prepare an attack on the Mist post!"

"Yes, sir!"

Yakumi Uchiha received the order and left.

Fugaku Uchiha opened his eyes, and a pair of blood-red Mangekyō Sharingan spun slowly.

Although Mirai Uchiha had not left him a shred of dignity, he had no choice but to follow his will.

Although he was the commander-in-chief of the battlefield, with the prestige Mirai Uchiha had in everyone's mind, if he dared to let Mirai Uchiha attack the Mist post alone...

Regardless of the final result, he would probably be considered a disgrace to the village.

"I'll let you be arrogant for a while."

"Even if you gain all the fame you want now, when you lose the power of your eyes, you will sink into an endless darkness."

Fugaku Uchiha took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down inside.

Time would show him that his choice was the only way out for the Uchiha clan.

The island.

Several thousand Mist Village ninjas waited in formation. Yagura Karatachi stood at the highest point, and the cold, salty sea breeze made the hem of his clothes flutter.

At his side, was a woman with long, reddish-brown hair.

After waiting for a long while, the woman became a little impatient and said in a low voice: "Lord Mizukage, being here so openly, do you really think the Konoha ninjas will fall into the trap?"

The island was surrounded by water on all four sides, it was the home turf of their village's ninjas.

Furthermore, they had prepared in advance. For the enemy, landing on the island would be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Under such circumstances, unless the Konoha ninjas were fools, they surely wouldn't choose a direct confrontation, right?

"They will." A confident smile appeared on Yagura Karatachi's face. "With that guy's arrogance, he won't pass up this opportunity."

During this time, he had purposely gathered a large amount of information about Mirai Uchiha.

The opponent had the personality of a "war maniac." As long as he found an enemy, he would surely choose to attack immediately.

Even knowing it was an ambush, Yagura Karatachi was confident that Mirai Uchiha would come!

Suddenly, a smile appeared on Yagura Karatachi's face: "Mei, look, they're coming."

————

Mirai Uchiha, sitting on his gold dust, flew slowly towards the island in front of him.

Below him, there were about three thousand Konoha ninjas. The vast fleet of ships formed a continuous line, creating an extremely spectacular scene.

Shortly after, both sides could already see each other across the sea.

Seeing the Mist Village ninjas waiting in formation on the island, the Konoha ninjas frowned.

To attack the Mist ninjas, they had to land on the island.

But judging by the enemy's posture, if they attempted a forced landing, it was very likely they would suffer heavy casualties.

Fugaku Uchiha snorted coldly and looked up at Mirai Uchiha in the air.

He wanted to see what Mirai Uchiha could do in a situation like this!

Feeling everyone's gazes, Mirai Uchiha stretched out his hand and a bone spine the size of a kunai appeared in his hand.

After marking the bone spine with the Flying Thunder God seal, Mirai Uchiha threw it with force, and the spine stuck into the sand on the shore of the island at an incredible speed.

The next second, the Mirai Uchiha who was in the air disappeared.

The crowd of the Mist Village also descended into chaos.

"Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!"

Boom!

A gigantic flame instantly engulfed the Mist ninjas in front.

Immediately after, Mirai Uchiha clasped his hands together: "Shikotsumyaku: Dance of the Ferns!"

From Mirai Uchiha's center, countless sharp bone spines emerged in a radius of a hundred meters, forming a forest of white bones in the blink of an eye.

In a single instant, a huge breach was opened in the positions of the Mist Village ninjas.

"Charge! Kill those Mist ninjas!"

Seeing Fugaku Uchiha motionless, Inabi Uchiha and the others shouted.

The next second, nearly three thousand Konoha ninjas leaped from their ships and, running over the waves, charged towards the island.

Seeing this scene, Fugaku Uchiha clenched his fists, his teeth gritted.

"Shikotsumyaku, Flying Thunder God Jutsu..."

"How many more aces does this bastard have up his sleeve?!"
