“Ding! Killed one Jonin, obtained 10 Plunder Points!”
Listening to the wonderful mechanical sound in his mind, Rinya let out a long sigh of relief.
A kill above his rank!
This gift package wasn’t easy to get.
Rinya couldn’t wait to step forward and reached out to touch Feng Lin’s charred, broken corpse.
“Plunder!”
“Ding! Plunder successful! Obtained: One year of vitality!”
“Obtained: 1 point of Constitution!”
Rinya’s eyes lit up instantly.
A whole 1 point of Constitution!
Added to what he had saved before, his physical strength had reached another level.
Just as he was immersed in the joy of the loot…
His scarlet two-tomoe Sharingan suddenly spun wildly, capturing a trace of eerie Chakra fluctuations from the soil beneath his feet with extreme sensitivity.
Rinya’s pupils constricted, and his scalp tingled instantly!
He didn’t even think.
“Instant Earth Substitution!”
“Whoosh!”
Rinya’s figure vanished into thin air.
Almost at the same moment, a thick, sharp rock spike burst from the ground, piercing the Earth Replacement he had left behind!
Having shifted ten meters away, Rinya looked at the pierced Earth Replacement, cold sweat soaking his back instantly.
There was still someone underground?!
This guy was way too good at hiding!
He didn’t even care about the life or death of his team leader, just to squat underground and wait for this one chance of a sneak attack?
Rinya broke out in a cold sweat.
Without thinking, he immediately fused the 1 point of Constitution and one year of vitality he had just looted.
If he was dead, the rewards would be useless!
“Tch, actually dodged it?”
Guanggu, hiding deep underground, curled his lip in annoyance.
Since the sneak attack failed, he didn’t intend to continue entangled, preparing to find a direction to slip away.
Guanggu had originally planned to retreat from another direction, but was attracted by the continuous sounds of Ninjutsu bombing here.
He had thought about coming over to help his boss, Feng Lin, and run away together, but who knew that as soon as he crept over, he saw Feng Lin smashed into a pile of minced meat by a chain of fireballs.
Guanggu was scared witless at the time and prepared to flee directly back to the village to report.
However, before leaving, he noticed that Rinya was also panting heavily, his Chakra bottoming out.
Guanggu’s mind became active, preparing to take advantage of the situation.
The sneak attack failed, so naturally, Guanggu didn’t dare to stay long, turning to continue diving deeper.
“Super Strength!”
“Rumble!”
A roar sounded like thunder on flat ground!
Centered on Feng Lin’s charred corpse, the ground for dozens of meters around instantly collapsed and shattered, as if struck by a meteorite.
Guanggu, who was just preparing to use Earth Release to slip away, was forcibly shaken out from underground by this violent physical shockwave, falling awkwardly to the ground.
“Iwagakure scum, do you really think the Land of Fire is your backyard, coming and going as you please?”
“Die!”
Senju Ken, like a furious lion, roared and pounced on Guanggu, directly dragging him into a violent taijutsu bombardment.
Rinya, hiding in the distance, was also affected by the earth-shaking momentum and quickly retreated a few steps.
He was cursing inwardly.
Couldn’t you big guys have come a minute earlier?
You made me waste my life-saving trump card of one year of vitality for nothing!
However, after fusing 1 point of Constitution, Rinya clearly felt an earth-shaking change in his body.
His muscle fibers became tighter, and his bone density also increased by a notch.
With his current physical strength, even if he only used taijutsu, he could trade a few blows with an ordinary elite Chunin.
Not only that, the consumption of one year of vitality also let him figure out the hidden attribute of this stuff.
Vitality certainly couldn’t be used to replenish Chakra, but it could actually restore mental energy!
Which was exactly what the Sharingan consumed the most — Pupil Power!
Having continuously released Ninjutsu and focused his mind highly just now, Rinya’s eyes had already begun to ache and swell.
As soon as the vitality was injected, his eyes felt cool instantly, the fatigue swept away, and his vision was sharper and clearer than before.
Although he couldn’t rely on vitality to directly evolve the two-tomoe into a three-tomoe, it was equivalent to carrying a Pupil Power power bank with him!
He would never have to worry about going blind from overusing his eyes again!
Suppressing his excitement, Rinya simply found a tree to lean on, recovering Chakra while staring intently at the battlefield with his Sharingan.
Ready to rush up and steal the kill at any time!
In less than half a minute, Takagi and Sarutobi Takumi also arrived, following the commotion.
The three major Konoha Jonin gathered, and without any nonsense, they immediately formed an encirclement, launching a three-on-one bombardment on Guanggu.
Guanggu regretted it so much his guts turned green.
If he had known, he should have tucked his tail and rolled away quickly; why did he have to be itchy-handed and go sneak attack a Uchiha brat!
Facing the gang-up of three experts of the same level, Guanggu didn’t even have room to fight back, only able to hold his head and run, desperately defending.
After a few rounds, Guanggu’s defensive movements finally showed a trace of sluggishness.
A murderous glint flashed in Takagi’s eyes, seizing this fleeting flaw.
The long sword in his hand surged with lightning, and a blade aura like a bolt of silk instantly slashed across Guanggu’s neck.
“Slash!”
A fine head flew into the sky!
Standing in the distance, ready to steal the kill at any time, Rinya was dumbfounded on the spot.
His heart ached so much he couldn’t breathe!
A fresh Jonin gift package, just like that, flew away right under his nose!
The look Rinya gave Takagi was so resentful it was like looking at a deadbeat who owed him millions and wouldn’t pay back.
The three Konoha Jonin looked at the headless corpse on the ground and collectively let out a sigh of relief.
Not a single living one was left; this mission was considered successfully completed.
Senju Ken walked quickly to the pile of minced meat that was Feng Lin, gathered with Guanggu’s corpse, and the three began to carefully check the spoils.
“Rinya! Well done!”
Takagi turned his head, gave Rinya a thumbs up, his face full of admiration: “You actually killed the Iwagakure team leader single-handedly! Going back this time, you definitely deserve the first credit!”
Rinya felt his scalp tingle upon hearing this.
Was this guy trying to make him die faster?
The more famous you are, the faster you die!
“Captain, stop mocking me!” Rinya quickly waved his hand to explain, “This is all thanks to you and Lord Sarutobi, exhausting their Chakra. I was just hiding in the back, a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse, picking up a ready-made bargain.”
“It’s just a pity for the other teammates…”
Rinya quickly shifted the topic to the fallen comrades, putting on a heartbroken look.
War saw life and death often; as a Jonin, Takagi was long used to it.
He stepped forward, patted Rinya’s shoulder heavily, and said nothing more.
On the other side.
Senju Ken, who was squatting by the charred corpse of the Iwagakure Leader, finished checking, stood up, dusted off his hands, and took a deep look at Uchiha Rinya.
“Alright kid, stop moping in front of the dead. Swords have no eyes on the battlefield; no one can guarantee they’ll live until tomorrow.”
Senju Ken’s tone carried the straightforwardness of a veteran, “Takagi is right, you deserve the first credit for today’s work. I just checked the battle traces; your Fire Release and Earth Release are both powerful enough, and your brain turns fast. Just in terms of destructive power, you’ve already touched the threshold of a Jonin.”
Rinya didn’t feel any joy upon hearing this; instead, he cried out that it was fatal!
Konoha during the Second World War was short of manpower everywhere.
If he was truly classified as Jonin-level combat power by the higher-ups, they would definitely force the most dangerous, hard-bone missions onto him, and his mortality rate would definitely skyrocket!
Staying low and picking up scraps was the way to go; showing off led to quick death!
Rinya hurriedly waved his hands repeatedly, “The Earth Release just now was just me secretly copying the enemy’s moves with the Sharingan a few days ago; a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse. If you really let me single-handedly fight a Jonin, ten lives wouldn’t be enough to fill the gap!”
Rinya frantically shifted the blame, desperately implying that he was just a frightened bird who survived on luck, and by the way, explained the reason for using Earth Release, blocking others’ suspicions.
“You slippery guy, you scared the Iwagakure Leader into running around just now, and now you’re playing the victim?”
Senju Ken was amused by this thick-skinned evasion.
The Senju Clan had never had a good impression of the Uchiha; after all, the two families had long-standing grievances.
But this kid’s unmasked admission of cowardice actually made Senju Ken feel it was quite genuine.
Usually used to seeing Uchiha with their noses in the air, occasionally meeting one who was down-to-earth was actually quite pleasing to the eye.
“But having said that, your Chakra volume is so large, why have you only mastered such a small amount of Fire Release?”
Senju Ken asked with a frown, “Is this all the Uchiha Clan’s foundation taught you?”
Rinya pretended to be embarrassed and scratched his hair: “I didn’t even open the Sharingan before going to the battlefield; I was just a peripheral Genin, and couldn’t even touch the edge of the family’s core Ninjutsu. It was all thanks to surviving in a desperate situation that I opened my eyes, and suddenly having so much Chakra, I didn’t know how to use it instead.”
Senju Ken nodded and turned to look at Takagi: “Since that’s the case, Takagi, give him more guidance when you rest and teach him a few practical Ninjutsu. Don’t waste such a good foundation.”
Takagi’s old face flushed, and he coughed twice to cover his embarrassment.
“Captain, it’s really not that I won’t teach him, but our Chakra attributes don’t match. I only have this bit of Lightning-style swordsmanship worth showing off. And… this kid has already seen through my bottom line with his Sharingan a few days ago!”
A few days ago, when patrolling and resting, Rinya relied on the Sharingan’s copying ability to pester Takagi.
It only took him half a day to steal all of Takagi’s swordsmanship routines that he had practiced for many years!
Used as a foundation for self-defense.
If it weren’t for the fact that Rinya didn’t have Lightning-style Chakra and couldn’t enchant his blade, Takagi would have felt that the captain position should change hands.
The frustration at that time almost made Takagi vomit blood.
A leading Jonin actually couldn’t teach a Genin; he simply had no face to see anyone.
Hearing Takagi’s complaint, the surrounding Chunin couldn’t help but gasp, their eyes full of envy.
The Sharingan is simply a cheating artifact!
“In that case, Uchiha Rinya, what is your Chakra attribute?”
Senju Ken asked straightforwardly, “Report it, and I’ll arrange for someone to give you special training.”
As soon as the words fell, the eyes of the companions around were almost red.
Being able to have a leading big shot personally arrange special training is equivalent to having an extra life-saving trump card; what a huge honor!
Hyuga Shinichi, standing behind the crowd, was even more jealous to the point of gnashing his teeth.
He glared at Rinya viciously with the corner of his eyes, wishing he could rush up on the spot and expose this guy’s perverted act of “touching a man’s chest muscles” while hiding in the woods!
Thoroughly expose this guy’s hypocritical mask!
But he didn’t dare.
Thinking of the Sharingan filled with killing intent when Rinya turned his head to stare, Hyuga Shinichi immediately chickened out, quickly shrinking his neck, and continuing to lower his head to be a transparent person.
Can’t afford to offend, absolutely can’t afford to offend.
He’d better just shut up honestly.
