86. Killing Spree
To be fair.
Although Uchiha Fugaku has some shortcomings—such as being indecisive, short-sighted, hesitant, and allowing the clan's downfall—he is indeed willing to sacrifice for the Uchiha clan and Konoha.
For example, right now.
"Clan Leader Fugaku, didn't Lord Danzō say that overusing the Mangekyō Sharingan would damage the eyes, even leading to blindness?"
Shisui watched Fugaku's retreating figure with concern.
Originally, the workload was shared between the two of them. If Fugaku were to shoulder it alone, it would take a significant toll on his eyes.
To this, Fugaku simply waved his hand dismissively: "Actually, using the Mangekyō at all causes damage to the eyes."
"So, it's better if I bear the burden alone."
"Shisui, your Mangekyō should be reserved for gazing into the future of the Uchiha clan. For now, I, as the clan leader, will handle this."
"That's all."
With that, Fugaku left behind a cool and composed silhouette, disappearing into the night.
Shisui stared for a long time in the direction Fugaku had left.
He felt that he had never seen such a blazing Will of Fire in Clan Leader Fugaku as he did now.
Although this Will of Fire wasn't directed at the entire village, but solely at the Uchiha clan, it still deeply moved Shisui.
He clenched his fist silently, vowing: "Don't worry, Clan Leader Fugaku, I will not let you down!"

On another battlefield.
At the border between the Land of Rain and the Land of Wind.
This was a massive mountain range that stretched across the entire border between the two nations.
It was because of this mountain range that the moisture from the southern seas of the Land of Fire was blocked, ultimately gathering in the Land of Rain and creating its perpetual rainy weather.
As for the Land of Wind, with all the moisture trapped in the Land of Rain, it naturally evolved into a desert.
Of course, beneath the desert of the Land of Wind, there were still underground rivers.
These underground rivers formed numerous oases of varying sizes throughout the desert.
Many towns in the Land of Wind, including Sunagakure and the Wind Capital, were built on these vast oases.
After a long journey, Minato finally arrived here.
The first thing he needed to do was identify the enemy's supply routes.
The intelligence provided by the Root had marked six possible routes, and Minato had to investigate each one.
However, as a ninja, he naturally wouldn't use an inefficient method like personally scouting each route.
He quickly formed hand seals and pressed his palm to the ground.
A summoning array composed of various seals spread out from his palm like a spider's web.
In the next moment, several frogs were summoned.
These were messenger frogs from Mount Myōboku.
Minato had summoned six in total.
They would split into six groups to investigate the six routes.
Once they spotted Sunagakure's forces, these ninja frogs would leave a kunai marked with the Flying Thunder God seal, then dispel the summoning and return to Mount Myōboku.
After returning to Mount Myōboku, the Great Toad Sage Fukasaku would reverse-summon Minato.
Once Minato received the information in Mount Myōboku, he would dispel the summoning and return to the ninja world, then use the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to the location of the kunai.
Hmm...
This process was indeed quite complicated.
But in the absence of other communication tools, Minato had no choice but to rely on this cumbersome procedure to search all six routes as quickly as possible.
"Thank you for your help," Minato said sincerely.
"Don't worry, leave it to us," the red toad said, thumping its chest like a human.
Then it and its five companions scattered, heading toward the routes Minato had assigned them.
After a long wait, a mysterious force finally summoned Minato to Mount Myōboku.
The white-browed and white-bearded Great Toad Sage Fukasaku stood on a giant tropical leaf.
Seeing Minato arrive, he opened his mouth and said in a deep voice: "Little Minato, we've found the information you asked for."
Minato then saw the red toad that had earlier thumped its chest in assurance.
"The Sunagakure troops are passing through a valley. It's a perfect spot for an ambush!"
"I placed your kunai in the woods above the valley!" the red toad croaked.
After receiving the information, Minato said sincerely: "Thank you!"
After expressing his gratitude to Fukasaku and the little toad, Minato immediately dispelled the summoning.
Then, using the Flying Thunder God Technique, he teleported directly to the location of the marked kunai.
Through the narrow gaps in the leaves, Minato quickly spotted the Sunagakure supply convoy passing through the valley.
After observing and confirming the enemy's position, Minato didn't hesitate to throw out a handful of kunai.
He then formed hand seals and activated the A-rank ninjutsu: [Shadow Shuriken Technique]!
Of course, in this context, it might be more appropriate to call it the [Shadow Kunai Technique].
But the principle was largely the same—it simply mimicked a different weapon.
Thus, the handful of kunai he threw out instantly multiplied into thousands, even tens of thousands, raining down on the enemy like a torrential downpour.
The reason this technique was rated as an A-rank ninjutsu was precisely because these "shadow clones" of the kunai were equally lethal.
It could achieve the effect of one person facing an entire army.
The sudden attack instantly caused panic among the Sunagakure troops.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Chaotic shouts erupted.
The ninja in the group quickly used Wind Release to disrupt the trajectory of the kunai.
As for the puppet masters, they deployed puppet shields to block the attack.
Even so, several Sunagakure ninja were too slow to defend or dodge, and were instantly turned into pincushions by the kunai.
"Dammit, how many enemies are there?!"
The next moment, Minato provided the answer.
A flash of golden hair appeared on the battlefield.
This iconic golden hair was immediately recognized.
"It's Konoha's Yellow Flash!"
The nearby puppet master turned pale. The moment he confirmed Minato's identity, even the puppet he was controlling trembled.
But only for a moment.
Because in the blink of an eye, Minato had appeared behind him.
The kunai in his hand flashed like lightning, slicing across the puppet master's throat and sending a spray of blood into the air!
"Don't be afraid, there are so many of us, we don't need to—"
Amid the chaos, the Sunagakure ninja's words were cut short.
Because the Yellow Flash he claimed they didn't need to fear had already slit his throat.
From then on, in the chaotic Sunagakure ranks, Minato was like a flash, like a ghost, appearing and disappearing unpredictably.
The Sunagakure ninja couldn't even see his position clearly before they met their end...
Soon, the entire twenty-man Sunagakure supply unit was wiped out.
This was the Minato's prowess!
