Genya squinted as he sized up the leader of the group of black-clad ninjas and the others behind him who seemed ready to attack.
It seems like Sarutobi Hizashi, that old man, is planning to make a move on me?
Looks like my Police Force Division has already made Sarutobi Hizashi feel threatened, and now he's trying to cause trouble for my father.
It seems the changes in the Police Force Division have already made Sarutobi Hizashi uneasy.
How laughable, he can't even handle things from the start?
I'm still just a child, and yet he's already thinking about the Sarutobi clan?
Does he really think killing me will shake the foundation of the Uchiha clan?
"Heh... Uchiha Shin, I didn't expect you to recognize me even though I hid so well. Since that's the case, you all won't leave Konoha alive!"
Sarutobi Natsu didn't expect to be recognized by Uchiha Shin, and a murderous glint flashed in his eyes.
He waved his hand, and the dozen or so ninjas behind him surrounded Genya. Since someone had recognized his identity, no one from the Uchiha escort team would leave this place alive.
"Uncle Shin, is Sarutobi Natsu really that strong?" Genya asked with curiosity in his eyes, having never heard of this name in the village before.
If Sarutobi Natsu were really that strong, there would have been rumors about him in the village.
"Sarutobi Natsu is one of the strongest members of the Sarutobi clan!" Uchiha Shin noticed Genya's confusion and explained, "During the Third Great War, the Third Hokage had the Sarutobi clan members sent to safer battlefields, so they didn't have any remarkable achievements in the war, and Sarutobi Natsu didn't gain fame."
At this point, Uchiha Shin added, "But because of this, the Sarutobi clan suffered little in the Third Great War and became the largest clan in Konoha. Sarutobi Natsu's strength ranks in the top ten of the clan!"
"Top ten of the Sarutobi clan?"
Genya nodded, impressed by how far the Third Hokage had gone to protect his clan: "He's that strong? I like it!"
A smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
This meant that he could finally experience the thrill of battle. When he fought Uchiha Shin before, he hadn't used all his strength, but now he could finally go all out!
"What's up, Genya? You interested?" Uchiha Shin asked, curious as he saw the eager look in Genya's eyes.
This old man may be strong, but Uchiha Shin believed Sarutobi Natsu was no match for him, and certainly not for Genya either.
"Uncle Shin, leave this guy to me. I need some combat experience, and... this old man is just right for it!" Genya's eyes sparkled as he looked at Sarutobi Natsu, his gaze almost greedy.
It was as if he was staring at prey!
While speaking, Genya took a couple of steps forward and stood at the very front.
"Alright! I'll leave it to you!" Uchiha Shin nodded, but when he looked at the other ninjas, his eyes were filled with seriousness.
This was indeed unexpected. Although these Jonin weren't the strongest, they could still drain most of their chakra.
This mission might end badly. No matter what, he had to get the young master out of here!
"Kid, you seem to be unhappy?" Sarutobi Natsu looked at Genya. Though his face showed disdain, he couldn't help but feel a bit nervous under Genya's gaze.
Sarutobi Natsu found it somewhat ridiculous. How could he, of all people, be intimidated by a child?
"You're Sarutobi Natsu, right? How about a fight between us?" Genya looked at Sarutobi Natsu with a tone full of disdain.
And it was full of provocation too!
"Are you trying to sacrifice yourself to give the others a chance to escape?" Sarutobi Natsu scoffed at Genya and then said, "Don't worry, I won't let any of you escape. But I'll take you down first!"
With that, Sarutobi Natsu swung his arm, and his eyes became cold and fierce. "Kill, not a single one spared!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the dozen or so Jonin surrounding them attacked together, heading straight for Uchiha Shin and his group. Sarutobi Natsu, however, went straight for Genya, aiming to grab his throat!
"Uncle Shin, don't worry about me, take care of the others. And... don't let these ninjas escape!" Genya snapped, stopping Uchiha Shin, who instinctively wanted to help him. His body moved with incredible speed, charging forward!
Uchiha Shin let out a bitter smile.
Did Genya not understand the danger?
With so many Jonin around, escaping would be lucky enough, let alone stopping them from escaping.
Just as he wanted to remind his young master, Genya had already rushed forward!
His speed was incredible!
In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Sarutobi Natsu!
From the start, Genya had no intention of holding back. He wanted a quick victory, then to help Uncle Shin and the others!
Wait? How could it be so fast?
Sarutobi Natsu frowned and reached out with one hand to block!
Genya's whiplash hit Sarutobi Natsu's arm. In that instant, Sarutobi Natsu felt a terrifying force explode through his arm.
Then, shock, confusion, and disbelief flashed in his eyes!
But that expression only lasted a moment before his body was sent flying backward!
He could even faintly hear the sound of bones cracking.
Sarutobi Natsu slid back for several meters before stabilizing himself. He clearly realized that he had been injured from taking that hit from Genya. He had been careless and hadn't used chakra protection.
But before he could react, Genya's figure charged at him again, not giving him a chance to recover!
He quickly formed hand seals. "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!"
A fireball shot toward Genya with incredible speed!
"Fireball?" Genya muttered, forming a chakra shield around himself like armor, and with a punch, he deflected the fireball.
However, Genya was a bit careless. The fireball pierced through his defense, leaving a burn mark on his clothes.
"Looks like I can't take Jonin's jutsu head-on just yet!" Genya murmured to himself, assessing the situation.
As he whispered, several shuriken shot at him, aiming for his vital spots. It was clear that Sarutobi Natsu had finished his jutsu and was launching a surprise attack again.
Genya blocked with kunai, but just as he finished, Sarutobi Natsu appeared within three meters of him, quickly forming hand seals. "Fire Style: Fire Dragon Flame Bomb!"
His hand seals were fast.
However, Sarutobi Natsu didn't notice that three tomoe in Genya's eyes were spinning rapidly. While Sarutobi formed his seals, Genya's chakra began to follow the same path as Sarutobi's, and he also started forming seals quickly.
He whispered, "Fire Style: Fire Dragon Flame Bomb!"
Two columns of fire, like fire dragons, erupted from their sides and collided in mid-air.
The temperature around them rose instantly, and both Genya and Sarutobi Natsu quickly retreated, avoiding the blast radius.
Sarutobi Natsu was a little late. The black cloth covering his face was scorched, revealing his face!
It looked very similar to the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, but with fewer wrinkles.
One glance, and it was clear!
He was a member of the Sarutobi clan!
