Upon hearing Shun's request for her to beco his woman, Yukari imdiately felt deceived.
Her eyes widened, and she angrily demanded, "Why are you toying with like this?"
Her voice trembled noticeably, a manifestation of intertwined anger and grievance.
Seeing her reaction, Shun collected his thoughts.
Yukari was about 16-17 years old, 162cm tall, slightly thin, with so bite marks on her arms.
So, he t her gaze calmly and replied, "Uzushiogakure has been destroyed for over 14 years, and your clan has wandered for years, enduring many hardships. It's normal for you to lack trust. But do you think I would risk my life to co here just to joke with you?"
Hearing this, Yukari lowered her head slightly and fell silent.
After a while, she slowly looked up, her eyes filled with worry, and asked, "If I go with you, what... what about the other clan mbers living in Kusagakure?"
Shun secretly rejoiced at her question, which indicated she was already leaning towards his proposal.
So, he calmly replied, "I suggest your clan beco an affiliated clan of the Uchiha clan. That way, I'll have a legitimate reason to send people to bring them back to Konoha and provide them with protection and supplies."
"By the way, how many of you are currently living in Kusagakure?"
Yukari stared intently into Shun's eyes, and after confirming he wasn't lying, she slowly said, "Including , there are 16 of us, with 3 children and 2 elders. How do you plan to bring them back to Konoha?"
Shun had initially thought there would only be 3-4 Uzumaki living in Kusagakure, in which case sending 5-6 ninjas to infiltrate Kusagakure would be enough to rescue them. But now that there were over a dozen, he had to change his plan.
After a mont of thought, he said in a commanding tone, "Kusagakure has over 1,000 ninjas, 63 Jonin, and only 11 Elite Jonin. When I bring 20 Uchiha Elite Jonin, the leader of Kusagakure will have no choice but to hand them over."
In truth, given his position in the Uchiha clan, he didn't have the authority to dispatch 20 clan mbers. But he could use Divine Demon Transformation as a bargaining chip, and he believed many Elite Jonin would be interested.
After hearing his plan, Yukari hesitated. He was only sending 20 people, while Kusagakure had over 1,000, so she was filled with worry for her clan's future.
Seeing her expression change slightly, Shun decided to act decisively.
"Don't worry, I'll rescue them within 3 days. Also, your two teammates are already dead, and if I let you go back, you'll be blad, so just pretend I kidnapped you."
With that, he pulled out a rope and skillfully tied Yukari, then steadily carried her on his back.
Before leaving, he added, "It will take about 90 minutes to get back to the Konoha frontline outpost from here. We'll encounter so ninjas on the way, and I'll use Ninjutsu to fight them. If my Chakra consumption is too high, I'll need your help."
"I understand."
...
After a journey filled with twists, turns, and stealth, they finally approached the Konoha frontline defensive area after more than fifty minutes.
Because the remaining journey was relatively safe, Shun no longer concealed himself and moved quickly. This action imdiately attracted the attention of many people.
When Kusagakure Jonin Kakuda saw Yukari tied to his back, his expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "Quick, stop him! The girl on his back is the village's dical ninja! She's an important asset to the village!"
Following Kakuda's shout, 11 Kusagakure ninjas appeared one after another, chasing after Shun. Suddenly, the atmosphere beca tense.
Seeing the surrounding Kusagakure ninjas, Shun's lips curved slightly into a confident smile.
He whispered to Yukari on his back, "Watch closely, I'll show you the power of the Uchiha clan."
With that, he continued moving, his hands quickly forming hand seals.
Divine Demon Transformation.
On Shun's shoulder, a red-haired head grew, and a pair of arms erged below his existing arms. Instantly, the two-headed, four-ard monster reappeared before the world.
Because the Kusagakure ninjas' encirclent was in a circular formation, Shun quickly encountered enemies.
Two Kusagakure Chunin rapidly approached from the front, their hands tightly gripping kunai, one aiming for the heart, the other for the abdon.
Facing the two's attacks, Shun showed no fear. His Three-Tomoe Sharingan spun rapidly, and the attacks of the two Kusagakure Chunin appeared in slow motion to him.
Suddenly, he quickly threw two large fists, heavily smashing them into the faces of the two Kusagakure Chunin. Accompanied by dull thuds, their bodies were instantly sent flying backward, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Seeing the two about to escape the encirclent, Kakuda was anxious and shouted, "If we can't keep him, then don't worry about the woman on his back, kill them all!"
At this command, the surrounding Kusagakure ninjas no longer held back and launched deadly attacks.
Wind Release: Wind Blade.
Water Release: Water Bullet.
...
Suddenly, various Ninjutsu, Kunai, and shuriken rained down on the two.
Yukari was only a dical ninja with the strength of a Chunin. Faced with such a dense barrage of attacks, she instantly turned pale, her palms sweating, and her heart pounding uncontrollably.
Shun, however, remained calm and composed, his fingers rapidly forming hand seals like phantoms.
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!
Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!
The more Chakra injected when performing Ninjutsu, the greater its power. Because Yukari was by his side, he decided to be extravagant and use 2.5 tis the Chakra.
As the hand seals were completed, a 10-ter diater fireball appeared out of thin air, and strong winds roared forth. With the enhancent of Wind Release, the flas swept towards the Kusagakure ninjas with overwhelming force.
It was November, and the Land of Grass was densely vegetated, so wherever the flas passed, a crackling sound instantly erupted, as if the entire mountain was about to be engulfed by the scorching fire.
Seeing Shun unleash such a powerful combination Ninjutsu, Kakuda felt an ominous premonition.
He retreated rapidly, shouting, "Fall back, dodge! His Ninjutsu is very powerful!"
The 12 Kusagakure ninjas present, with even the lowest-ranked being Chunin, reacted very quickly and retreated.
However, 3 unlucky individuals were too slow to evade and were rcilessly engulfed by the giant wave of flas, turning into 3 charred corpses.
Looking at the fan-shaped wall of fire with a radius of about 60 ters, the remaining 9 Kusagakure ninjas exchanged glances, their eyes filled with hesitation and fear. For a mont, they were unsure whether to continue the pursuit.
Shun seized this opportunity to quicken his pace, rushing towards the Konoha frontline defensive area.
As he ran, he said to Yukari on his back, "How was that? My strength isn't bad, right?"
"Mmm, it's amazing."
