Naruto: Kushina's Redemption, My Revenge

Kyousuke Uchiha and the others were completely outmatched. They had already been surrounded by seven Cloud Ninja, who were now closing in.

The Tokubetsu Jonin spoke up, "These four are Uchiha. When you kill them, make sure not to damage their eyes!"

Just as Kyousuke Uchiha and the others thought Chinya had abandoned them, his voice suddenly rang out behind them.

"You four are really weak. You call that Chunin-level strength? As members of the Uchiha Clan, you barely took down three Genin and one Chunin before getting yourselves cornered? Disappointing."

Hearing Chinya's voice, the four felt a surge of excitement.

But after hearing his scolding, they silently complained in their minds. Four Cloud Ninja Chunin, two Genin, and a Tokubetsu Jonin had attacked them together. It was already lucky they hadn't been seriously injured—expecting them to turn the battle around was just too difficult.

While observing from a tree trunk, Chinya had already assessed the strength of this group of Cloud Ninja.

To him, they weren't even worth taking seriously.

Chinya used Shifting Body Technique and instantly appeared in front of two Cloud Ninja Genin.

His sudden appearance shocked the Cloud Ninja completely.

The two terrified Genin lunged at Chinya, but he flicked two kunai straight into their throats without even flinching.

Four Cloud Ninja Chunin rushed toward Chinya at once.

[Thunder Breathing, Second Form: Paddy Soul!]

At the moment Chinya launched his attack, he slashed five lightning-fast strikes.

The four Chunin didn't even see him move before they were sliced down. Each of them received massive wounds, breathing heavily with shallow inhales—clearly not going to last much longer.

The Cloud Ninja couldn't follow Chinya's attack path, but Kyousuke Uchiha and the others saw everything clearly.

Their eyes widened in disbelief as they stared at Chinya.

This is the power of Thunder Breathing?

Here, Kyousuke Uchiha had studied Thunder Breathing before.

However, his progress wasn't smooth because when Kyousuke wielded it, its power was extremely weak while consuming far too much chakra. Using Thunder Breathing during combat simply wasn't efficient.

Therefore, ever since learning Thunder Breathing, he'd barely used it.

Yet now, seeing Chinya use Thunder Breathing completely shattered Kyousuke's understanding—how could its power be this overwhelming?

It was as if what he'd learned wasn't even Thunder Breathing at all.

Chinya turned toward the remaining Tokubetsu Jonin.

The Tokubetsu Jonin snapped out of shock and immediately turned to flee.

Chinya didn't rush to chase. Instead, he looked at Kyousuke Uchiha and the others and said, "Now do you understand how useless you are? So from now on, behave yourselves in front of me. Follow my orders properly, and I won't treat you too harshly. But if you dare try anything sneaky, there'll be nowhere left for you to run."

[Thunder Breathing's Fifth Form – Heat Boundary Thunder!]

A superheated slash shaped like a bolt of lightning erupted from Chinya's ninja sword, piercing through the escaping Cloud Ninja's chest.

Sliding his ninja sword back into its sheath, Chinya looked at Kyousuke Uchiha and the others and asked, "Did you all understand what I just said?"

Kyousuke Uchiha and the others felt a chill run down their spines before snapping back with, "Understood!"

"Since you understand," Chinya said, "then go clean up the battlefield. Cut off their heads and bring them back so the Sensor Ninja can analyze them."

Chinya leaned back against a tree, waiting while Kyousuke Uchiha and the others cleaned up the battlefield.

After completing the task, Chinya led the four of them back to the camp to report mission success.

...

The situation in the Land of Hot Water gradually stabilized after Konoha ninja arrived as reinforcements.

Orochimaru assigned ninja to eliminate Kumo bases, and the process went very smoothly.

Because Kumo ninja had previously been far too successful in the Land of Hot Water, they'd established far too many small bases there, which they now couldn't properly defend.

Often, just as one base was cleared by Konoha ninja, another would come under attack.

Now, Cloud ninja began consolidating their forces, actively reducing the number of bases.

Since Sunagakure and Iwagakure ninja hadn't gained advantages against Konoha ninja in battles on the fronts of the Land of Rivers and Land of Grass, they cautiously observed each other without serious conflict erupting.

Although Kiri had stationed ninja in the Land of Waves, they remained inactive and avoided direct conflict with Konoha ninja.

Therefore, the Land of Hot Water became the most intense battlefield.

The Raikage of Cloud Village also didn't want to risk losing too many ninja before the war officially began.

After all, the Konoha ninja currently deployed in the Land of Hot Water were all elite fighters.

Cloud Village wasn't yet willing to send its own village's elite into the Land of Hot Water.

Therefore, a stalemate developed between Cloud and Leaf ninja, with neither side eager for battle.

With all four battlefronts gradually stabilizing, Konoha finally caught its breath.

Konoha then started dispatching genin to the battlefield for practical training.

After all, battlefield experience was the fastest way for them to grow stronger.

Three years quietly passed.

On the battlefield of the Land of Hot Water, two individuals stood out most prominently—Chinya and Minato Namikaze.

Over these three years, Minato successfully mastered the [Flying Thunder God Technique], achieving a one hundred percent mission completion rate.

Through his personal charisma, Minato earned respect from Konoha ninja stationed in the Land of Hot Water.

As for Chinya, his mission success rate was also 100%—not a single failure to his name.

However, following Chinya were still only Kyousuke Uchiha, Ryuuhei Uchiha, Keiichi Uchiha, and Jin'ya Uchiha.

Minato Namikaze inspired obedience through personal charm.

But in everyone's eyes, Chinya completely lacked humanity, making him someone nobody wanted to approach.

Throughout these three years, Minato never again crossed swords with Chinya, instead diligently completing missions seemingly determined to compete with Chinya over battlefield accomplishments.

Chinya himself cared nothing about missions—his sole focus was accumulating Witness Points.

By intercepting achievements originally destined for Minato, Chinya had already accumulated over 6,000 Witness Points.

However, since the situation had stabilized, acquiring new Witness Points became increasingly difficult.

Currently, both Chinya and Minato Namikaze had been promoted to jonin ranks.

During this time, Chinya often wrote letters to Kushina Uzumaki and visited her in Konoha a few times.

Because of her uniqueness, Konoha did not send Kushina Uzumaki to the battlefield but instead kept her stationed in the village.

Kushina wasn't too happy about this, but there was nothing she could do.

Meanwhile, a brilliant young prodigy had begun to shine in Konoha:

Kakashi Hatake.

Last year, Kakashi Hatake graduated from the ninja academy at the age of just five. Afterward, he went to the Land of Grass and followed his father, Sakumo Hatake, into battle on the front lines.

This year, Kakashi Hatake became a Chunin.

In Chinya's memory, something big was going to happen next year—

The suicide of Sakumo Hatake.

In Chinya's view, the suicide of Sakumo Hatake should be able to earn him some Witness Points.
