"Genya, there are ninjas everywhere outside the village this time. Maybe we shouldn't take action this time!"
That night, Uchiha Kinya and Uchiha Shin returned to the manor. Both of them looked at Genya seriously. This time, Uchiha Kinya spoke first.
Almost all the Jonins were moving this time. If Genya really planned to take action against the Sarutobi clan, it could be very dangerous!
They decided to warn Genya to be cautious, or even abandon the idea of taking action altogether.
Uchiha Shin nodded along. "Genya-kun, all the Jonins from Konoha are involved. If we're not careful, we might get surrounded!"
"Moreover, there are many people in Konoha watching our Uchiha clan. If you go out, you might even get discovered!"
Uchiha Shin said this while keeping an eye on Genya, worried that Genya might act impulsively.
"You don't need to worry, Uncle Shin," Genya replied calmly with a smile. "I have the Dual Pupil's reconnaissance ability. I can leave quietly, even under surveillance. And even if I leave the village, I can protect myself!"
He spoke confidently, his tone calm. "Besides, this is the best opportunity to hunt the ninjas of the Sarutobi clan!"
Genya was very confident in his abilities—well, at least in his ability to escape!
No matter the situation, as long as he had the Shinra Tensei, he wasn't afraid of being surrounded. Even if he did get surrounded, he could use repulsive force to briefly fly through the air. It wasn't as free as Onoki's flight, but it would do!
This was why he was confident he could escape!
"But..." Uchiha Shin wanted to say something else, but when he saw Genya's determined gaze, he swallowed the words he was about to say.
Genya was good at everything, but once he made a decision, it was impossible to change his mind. He could only lower his head silently.
He knew that even if he tried to persuade him, it would be pointless.
Uchiha Kinya opened his mouth but didn't say anything. He understood his son's personality as well.
"Dad, don't worry. I won't take my life lightly!" Genya looked at his silent father, understanding that he was worried about him.
But this mission was the best opportunity to intimidate Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Sarutobi clan!
In this way, The Sarutobi clan, which he wanted to eliminate, will not dare to leave their homes to carry out missions for two years!
This way, their merchant escort team would be safe from attacks by the Sarutobi clan!
"Genya, if you encounter any danger you can't handle, run back to the clan. The clan is always your support!" Uchiha Kinya looked seriously at his son and gave the warning.
He had already prepared for the situation where Genya would be discovered, and he would lead all the merchant association members to flee from Konoha.
"There won't be such a situation, and there won't be any danger!" Genya looked back at his father seriously and responded firmly.
Genya sighed and felt a bit sentimental in his heart.
This was his father's worry for him!
Overall, it came down to not having enough strength!
If he could learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, his strength would increase significantly. Then his father wouldn't need to worry anymore. At the very least, he would have a real way to save his life.
It seemed that the plan to search for the Scroll of Seals had to be moved forward.
There were several jutsu in those scrolls that would be very useful to him right now!
"Dad, let's go back inside. There are two pairs of eyes watching us right now," Genya scanned the surroundings and led Uchiha Shin and Kinya back into the house.
Uchiha Kinya and Shin also cautiously glanced around.
Once inside, Genya went into a hidden room and used the Shadow Clone Technique.
When he reappeared beside Uchiha Kinya, it was now Genya's clone!
The two ninjas who had been watching the mansion focused on Uchiha Kinya and Shin and didn't notice the shadowy figure in the corner disappearing into the night and heading toward the outside of Konoha!
Genya kept his Dual Pupil activated!
From time to time, he encountered ninja patrols. It seemed that Sarutobi Hiruzen had put a lot of effort into finding him!
This time, he decided to first circle around Konoha to hunt, then go after the Sarutobi ninjas who had left the village!
Every time he made his move, he would unleash his Dual Pupil to its full extent, ensuring there were no other ninjas nearby before attacking!
Not even ten miles out of the village, he encountered a team of ninjas, two of which were Sarutobi ninjas. Without hesitation, Genya leaped down and struck!
His movements were swift and decisive!
He didn't give these ninjas a chance to react!
The ninja team was ambushed, a kunai with an explosive tag flew up and detonated!
The battle below had already begun!
Genya quickly subdued a few of them, confirmed their identities, and then killed the two Sarutobi members!
He swept the area with Black Flames, covering a span of several meters to ensure there were no traces of life left, before leaving!
Three kilometers away,
Kakashi was patrolling the village with his summoned dog when he suddenly heard the signal!
He was startled and quickly jumped towards the source of the signal!
In no time, he arrived at the location of the recent battle. Three people were unconscious, but the two Sarutobi ninjas were already dead.
"As expected, someone is targeting the Sarutobi clan!" Kakashi took a deep breath, approached the unconscious individuals, and began asking, "What happened?"
"We were ambushed by a short ninja, but his strength was overwhelming. We were no match for him!" The injured ninja, upon waking, gave a bitter smile, especially when he saw the two dead bodies beside him.
They hadn't expected that they, five ninjas, wouldn't be able to stop this person!
After hearing this account, Kakashi's frown deepened!
After thinking for a moment, he turned to his summoning dog: "Pakkun, did you catch any scent? We need to find this person quickly."
Pakkun nodded, sniffing the ground. However, after searching, he reported, "I didn't catch any scent. Even the five ninjas' scent is weak. I can barely smell anything!"
"Eh?" Kakashi frowned. Pakkun was the most intelligent summoning dog, and he was a sensory-type summoning dog. How could he not detect the lingering traces of the battle that had just occurred at this location?
"I remember now. The person burned the surroundings with black flames as he left!" added the injured ninja. "He headed east when he left."
"Burned by flames? Can flames really erase the scent?" Kakashi muttered to himself. If that was the case, finding the ninja who had attacked Konoha would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Nevertheless, Pakkun walked towards the direction where Genya had left, sniffing the air.
"Kakashi, there is indeed a faint scent here. If you don't pay close attention, you wouldn't notice it!" Pakkun said, a bit surprised. The scent was so faint!
But just as Kakashi felt hopeful, a distress signal came from the distant sky.
"Not good. Someone else has been attacked!"
