Chapter 39 Who do you think you are?
"Besides the Hozuki clan, there is another ninja who is skilled in Lightning Release and has a strong offensive ability, as well as an Ice Release bloodline limit ninja, who is very troublesome."
"They must also possess some kind of extremely powerful reconnaissance ninjutsu..."
"Thump!"
Just as Makoto Karimoto was recounting the information, the door to the medical room was suddenly pushed open.
Three composed ninjas wearing Konoha Jonin vests walked in, one of whom was none other than the previous Kimura Jonin.
The other two were a cold-faced man wearing a blue hat and carrying a ninja sword, while the other had a gentle smile on his face.
The moment Makoto Karuta saw this guy, his pupils contracted sharply, and he was shaken.
What's this guy doing here?!
"How is the situation?"
Kimura, the Jonin, spoke in a deep voice, his gaze falling on Makoto Karatachi.
"Kimura-sama, Kazama-sama, Shinnosuke-sama!"
The medical chunin and two genin immediately bowed.
The aloof Jonin known as Kazama looked directly at Makoto Karatachi, his gaze sharp as a knife.
"You're Uchiha Makoto?"
"Which unit do you belong to? Why are you here alone? Please explain in detail!"
Makoto Koji frowned, his face showing displeasure, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "I've already said, we were ambushed while on a reconnaissance mission. Specific details are classified and cannot be disclosed."
"confidential?"
Kazama snorted coldly and took a step forward.
"During this critical period, any suspicious individuals must undergo rigorous screening..."
"Who do you think you are!"
Makoto Kujira suddenly stood up, his three-tomoe Sharingan flashing with a cold light.
"My Uchiha clan has risked our lives for Konoha, fighting bloody battles on the front lines. When did it become your place to question my identity and mission?"
"Or... is this your intention, Sarutobi Shinnosuke?!"
Makoto Karatachi's gaze fell upon Shinnosuke Sarutobi, who remained silent and observing.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke, the eldest son of the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, is a Jonin of Konoha. He is proficient in Fire Release and Earth Release, and his strength is unfathomable. He enjoys extremely high prestige among the younger generation of Konoha.
His appearance was completely unexpected by Makoto Goji.
This guy is no ordinary Jonin. His combat strength is definitely at the peak of Jonin level, if not Kage level!
No wonder there are no Uchiha here; which Uchiha would want to stay with this guy?
However, instead of going to the front lines to fight bravely against the main force of the Hidden Mist, what is this guy trying to do by staying at this logistics station?
"My lord, please calm down."
With a gentle smile, Sarutobi Shinnosuke stepped forward: "Kazama is also doing his duty. The front lines are tense right now, and Kirigakure is active frequently. It's always good to be cautious."
"Since Cheng-kun is an elite member of the Uchiha clan and possesses the three-tomoe Sharingan, his identity should be correct."
"But... Cheng-kun seems unfamiliar. I don't think I've ever seen you in the village before."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke's seemingly casual question sent a chill down Makoto Karatachi's spine.
The Uchiha clan has a large number of members, but as the son of the Hokage, Sarutobi Shinnosuke must have a considerable understanding of the important figures of the various clans in Konoha, especially since he is the biological son of Sarutobi Hiruzen!
As those who inherited the will of the white-haired Hokage, the daily routine of the Hokage's higher-ups consisted of infighting among close friends, political suppression, and balancing power.
Then, they targeted the Uchiha clan.
"The Uchiha clan has many branches and hundreds of members, so it's normal that Shinnosuke-sama hasn't met me before." Makoto Karatachi suppressed the turmoil in his heart and snorted coldly, "I'm often away on special missions and rarely return to the village. I was only recently transferred to the Eastern Front."
"I see."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded.
"So, how many people were in the Kirigakure squad that Cheng-kun encountered? Besides Hozuki, who was a Lightning Release and Ice Release ninja, did they have any other characteristics?"
"no."
Gouju Cheng's tone was stiff and his expression impatient: "I only had an accidental encounter and a brief exchange, so it's already quite good that I have this much information."
"As for Shinnosuke, as the Hokage's son, instead of commanding the troops and assisting the clan leader on the front lines, he's loitering here at the rear supply depot. Could he be on some special mission?"
Such sarcastic and veiled remarks immediately provoked the impatience of Kazama, the lackey standing to the side.
How rude are the Uchiha!
"As a Jonin, it is my duty to inspect various bases and coordinate defenses."
However, before Kazama could speak, Shinnosuke Sarutobi smiled slightly.
"But Lord Cheng, since you have encountered a formidable enemy, why don't you rest and recuperate first? Once you have recovered, you might be able to help us strengthen the defenses of this place."
"With the three-tomoe Sharingan, those rats from Kirigakure will probably not dare to approach easily anymore."
"No need."
Gouju coldly refused and sat back down on the makeshift hospital bed.
"My injury is nothing serious. I'll leave once my chakra recovers a bit. The front lines need me more."
"yes."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded noncommittally: "In that case, I won't insist you stay. Makoto, please rest well. If you need anything, please let me know. We'll continue our inspection of the fortifications."
Kazama gave Makoto a cold glance before turning and leaving the medical room with Shinnosuke Sarutobi.
Kimura glanced at Makoto Karatachi, unsure what to say for a moment, then gave an awkward smile and followed him.
The medical room returned to silence, but the atmosphere became even more subtle.
The two genin and the medical chunin looked at Makoto with even more awe, but also with a touch of distance. They weren't very clear about the power struggles between the Uchiha and the higher-ups, but compared to the Uchiha, the Hokage's son was undoubtedly more worthy of their following.
Close your eyes and rest your mind while eating tangerines.
The appearance of Sarutobi Shinnosuke was quite unexpected for him.
This guy is strong and has a high status, so his vigilance must be far beyond that of an ordinary Jonin. It will be much more difficult for him to create enough chaos under the noses of the three of them.
But since such a good thing as a jackpot pool has been offered to him, he naturally wouldn't miss it!
"Once the Sharingan cools down, freeze your hands directly!"
Gouju sincerely planned and regulated his chakra, waiting for it to cool down. At the same time, he quietly spread his senses to listen to the movements outside and keep an eye on the condition of the people in the medical room.
About half an hour later, as darkness fell outside, torches and lighting spells were lit in the camp.
The changing of the guard whistle sounded, and some of the ninjas took turns resting.
Just as people were handing over duties and attention was relatively scattered, Makoto Koji opened his eyes.
He glanced at the medical chunin and two genin in the medical room, a cold smile curving his lips.
Genjutsu: Sharingan!
Even a Kage-level expert couldn't withstand the power of the eye, and it easily trapped the three of them in an illusion.
"This is a really useful power. Be a good helper and draw my attention."
The three departed like puppets, while Makoto Karimoto's figure also blended into the shadows, silently sinking into the ground beneath his feet.
Kamui!
