Naruto: Kushina's Redemption, My Revenge

Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Threat



The day after receiving treatment, Nobuto Uchiha quietly returned to Konoha.

After all, even his own clansmen were unwilling to stand with him, and the way others looked at him was extremely strange. It was better to just return to Konoha.

Jin'ya Uchiha's fractured wrists and legs had also been properly treated.

Although professionally treated by a Medical Ninja, he still needed a few more days to fully recover.

Jin'ya had assumed Chinya would wait until he healed before gathering everyone for their next mission, but surprisingly, Chinya summoned them the very same day.

Chinya took out a scroll. "I've just accepted a mission for our squad—to hunt down a group of Cloud Ninjas. According to reconnaissance, there are about ten people. Their strength isn't too high—roughly half are Chunin-level, the other half Genin. No Jonin, maybe at most a Tokubetsu Jonin.

This time, I also want to see your true abilities, so I expect each of you four to give it your all."

Kyousuke Uchiha and the other three stared in disbelief.

Ten people, with half at the Chunin level?

Was the difficulty this high right from the start?

Looking at his bandaged wrists and knees, Jin'ya hesitated. "Captain, what about my injuries..."

Chinya shot him a sidelong glance. "That's not an excuse. You brought this injury on yourself. In war, you fight even when injured. Injury is not a reason to run away!"

Jin'ya opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

Since the decision couldn't be changed, acceptance was the only path forward.

"Go back and prepare now. Regroup here in one hour to depart."

Kyousuke Uchiha and the other three left with drooping shoulders.

Chinya leaned back against a tree with his eyes closed, waiting patiently.

Suddenly, footsteps approached from a distance.

Opening his eyes slightly, Chinya glanced once before closing them again.

The steps halted right in front of him.

The source of the footsteps was Kazuo Uchiha.

With a gloomy expression, Kazuo warned, "Chinya, I suggest you don't push things too far. You're only here temporarily; sooner or later, you'll have to return to Konoha."

Hearing Kazuo's threat, Chinya opened his eyes again, smirking. "Oh? Why don't you finish what you were saying? What happens when I return to Konoha? Should I be afraid like Nobuto Uchiha said—that the Uchiha Clan will retaliate against me?

Konoha's most prestigious ninja clan! How terrifying—the thought of their revenge. Right now, are you expecting me to kneel before you, begging you to ask the Uchiha to leave me alone?"

Listening to Chinya's sarcastic words, Kazuo became furious, his face turning slightly red.

The mocking smile faded from Chinya's face as he coldly stared at Kazuo. "Do you really think I'm afraid of the Uchiha's revenge? Please. If I feared them, would I have beaten up those five useless men you brought like that?

It seems like among the Uchiha Clan, aside from Fugaku Uchiha who actually has a brain, the rest are all idiots."

It's no surprise the Uchiha Clan has been declining lately. When facing an existential crisis, you don't even realize it and still remain arrogantly immersed in long-past glories.

No, wait—that wasn't even your own glory to begin with. It was merely Madara Uchiha's lingering prestige.

However, Madara Uchiha himself was nothing but a failure. Although he co-founded Konoha with the First Hokage, he was defeated and forced to leave Konoha in disgrace.

And yet you Uchiha betrayed Madara Uchiha and chose instead to stay behind in Konoha.

You always call me a turncoat and say I'll betray Konoha eventually, but from what I see, isn't it you who are the real traitors—a whole group of them clinging together?

"You!"

Kazuo Uchiha angrily started cursing at Chinya.

Chinya interrupted, "Cut it out. I don't have time to bicker with you here. The more you threaten me now, the more I'll pay back on those four Uchiha brats later.

Unless… you're serious about fighting me here and now? Now *that* could be interesting. If you knock me down, maybe those four will return to your command.

I'm also curious myself—just how strong is this Jōnin from the Uchiha Clan? Are they as washed-up as the rest of them?

So then... are you going to fight me, you useless Uchiha Jōnin?"

Chinya glared at Kazuo Uchiha and mocked.

Kazuo clenched his fists tightly. If looks could kill, Chinya would've already been flayed alive by Kazuo's glare.

Kazuo knew perfectly well that Chinya was provoking him.

If he did attack Chinya, he'd definitely get into huge trouble.

Kazuo tried hard to restrain himself.

Chinya sneered, "Looks like you really are a coward after all. If you don't dare to fight, why bother making threats? Is this truly the Uchiha Clan—you do nothing but talk? How exactly did a clan like yours become Konoha's top-ranked ninja clan? Hilarious! Piss off—I can't stand watching you humiliate yourself any longer."

Kazuo finally snapped, shouting furiously, "Damn you! The Uchiha Clan won't be insulted by someone like you—a discarded outcast!"

Yet Chinya remained calm as ever, continuing his biting remarks: "Oh? But this 'discarded outcast' is currently the team leader of four little brats from your beloved Uchiha. Oh right, when I beat them up, you stood there quietly watching. Watching your own clansmen get beaten up by me and laughed at by other clans' shinobi—tell me, aren't you all just cowards?

But judging from those four alone, it's clear enough that the entire Uchiha Clan is full of pushovers anyway. In the end, they still obediently followed my orders, didn't they?"

Hearing "coward" and "useless" repeatedly, Kazuo finally gave in to his rage, his eyes blazing with fury as he activated his triple tomoe Sharingan and threw an uppercut directly toward Chinya.

Chinya immediately dodged backward using the [Shifting Body Technique].

Kazuo's fist slammed into a nearby tree trunk, leaving a visible punch mark.

Chinya brushed off his clothes and looked at Kazuo with amusement: "Looks like you do have some backbone after all. Alright, I admit—you're not a softie. But let's find out if you're useless or not!"

Chinya had also activated his Double Tomoe Sharingan.

Kazuo Uchiha began forming hand seals. The moment Chinya saw the first seal Kazuo made, he figured out the ninjutsu he was about to use.

Chinya began forming the same seals as Kazuo Uchiha.

[Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!]

Chinya and Kazuo Uchiha released their techniques almost simultaneously, both exhaling flames shaped like phoenix flower seeds scattering in every direction.

Using the powerful dynamic vision of their Sharingan, both Chinya and Kazuo Uchiha dodged the flames coming from all sides.

Kazuo pulled out a kunai, while Chinya drew his ninja sword from its sheath.

Chinya and Kazuo Uchiha charged at each other at the same time, and sparks flew as their weapons clashed.
