In the end, Uchiha Rei agreed to his action plan.
Returning to the tent, Kyōsuke informed the two and hoped they would be mentally prepared.
"Hehe."
Uchiha Maya smiled and kept fiddling with a pale pink kunai, "I've always said, wherever Lord Kyōsuke wants to go, even to the Pure Land, I'll follow him."
"Same here."
Uchiha Izumi nodded beside her. After being promoted to Jonin, he had become increasingly taciturn.
To be precise, it should be said that he was influenced by the bloodline within him.
The Second Hokage once said that the Uchiha clan was cursed, and now Kyōsuke was starting to agree with this statement more and more.
Speaking of Senju Tobirama, his thoughts drifted thousands of miles away.
It had been calculated that Madara was now 11 years old, and unless the plot changed, he had likely already become friends with Senju Hashirama.
Their meeting would mark the official countdown to the Warring States period.
The era of the Shinobi villages was about to begin, provided that the two could break through the obstacles of the older generation of ninjas.
It was still too early to discuss this now.
Shaking his head, Kyōsuke refocused his attention on the current situation.
After a year of slaughter, he had successfully made it onto the enemy's kill list.
It was obvious that many eyes were watching him, always looking for the right moment to strike.
Since that was the case, he decided to take the initiative.
If you don't move, I won't either, but once I do, you'll feel the pain.
It's like a date—if the girl doesn't give any opportunity, the guy can only wander around at the entrance forever.
Now, Kyōsuke would give the three clans a chance to ambush him.
As for the confidence to deal with them, first, Uchiha Izumi had firmly established himself as a Jonin.
He was considered a trump card.
Uchiha Maya, after years of battle, had developed extraordinary genjutsu skills.
Not long ago, their team had been ambushed by Jonin-level ninjas, and at the critical moment, her Sharingan finally evolved into the three-tomoe state.
She had essentially become a Jonin specializing in genjutsu, a stronger version of kurenai Yuhi.
Two Jonin-level warriors.
As for Kyōsuke himself
[Name: Uchiha Kyōsuke
Age: 9 years old
Physical Strength: Chūnin
Mental Strength: Peak Chūnin
Chakra Amount: Peak Chūnin
Skills: Uchiha-style Kenjutsu (Level 5), Three Body Technique (Level 5), Throwing Technique (Level 6), Chakra Control (Level 4), Hand Seals (Level 4), Shisui-style Body Flicker Technique (Level 3), Chidori (Level 2)
Kekkei Genkai: Sharingan (Two Tomoe)
Summoning Beast: None
Ninja Tools: None
Points: 1275]
In the past year, he had fought desperately and had little time to consolidate his power.
He had achieved remarkable battle results, and his points were considerable. Various combat skills had improved to varying degrees.
However, in terms of raw strength, he had still not broken through the Chūnin barrier.
However, when it came to mid-range combat, neither Izumi nor Maya possessed the same terrifying deterrent power as him.
The reason for this was that Kyōsuke had exchanged for an A-rank ninjutsu.
The most suitable ninjutsu for the Uchiha clan to cultivate—Chidori!
Chidori, a ninjutsu developed by Hatake Kakashi in his youth.
This technique gathers Lightning Release chakra in the palm, forming a high-intensity electric current.
The hand becomes like a blade, with a powerful penetrating force.
When activated, it sounds like a thousand birds chirping, which is why it is named Chidori.
To enhance the piercing power, the attack requires a certain distance to build up speed.
If too fast, it may invite a counterattack from the enemy, so it must be used in conjunction with the Sharingan.
With his Sharingan, Kyōsuke's Chidori was as powerful as an S-rank ninjutsu. 12,000 points for the exchange was already quite worth it.
It's worth noting that the Rasengan requires a price of 18,000 points and has much higher usage requirements compared to Chidori.
With Kyōsuke's current peak Chūnin strength, as long as he's given the chance, taking out a Jonin would be no problem.
Another important point is that Chidori's subsequent form changes are very suitable for Kyōsuke to use.
With it, many different ninjutsu techniques could be developed.
Defensive Chidori Flow, mid-range Chidori Spear, close-range Chidori Blade, and so on.
In the future, if given time, Kyōsuke might even develop the Lightning Release Kirin technique.
During his spare time, he would read books to deepen his understanding of "techniques."
Such a perfect ninjutsu, anyone would be tempted to exchange for it.
Why weren't the others worried at all?
That's because they knew very well the real combat strength of their team.
If the Ino-Shika-Cho trio showed up, they would have to pay a heavy price.
If not, Kyōsuke would have to be crazy to set up such a bait plan.
This move not only changes the course of the battle but also helps him solidify the position of the Southern Army.
If he were to fall out with Uchiha Tajima, he must have enough leverage to counter him.
Military deterrence, merit-based fame, and a pre-arranged "gift"—the combination of these three would be enough to win over a large group of loyal subordinates.
Regardless of what happens in the future, the Uchiha clan must always have a place for Kyōsuke.
Even if he were to fall out with the Dancing King (Madara) in the future, it wouldn't matter.
He would start anew, with loyal subordinates, and wherever he goes, he wouldn't fear.

In the southern part of the Land of Fire, in a gorge near the border.
The joint base of the three clans was quietly being set up here.
In such a concealed place, without the help of the Hyūga clan, no one would be able to trace them here.
Inside the tent, Akimichi Kōkin sighed as he looked at the battle report on the table.
Uchiha Rei was feeling the same, deeply concerned about the high battle losses.
The Uchiha clan was so powerful, and even though they had some tactical advantages and strategic benefits, after so many battles, they still couldn't secure the final victory.
"Why sigh?"
A light laugh came from outside the tent, and the curtain was lifted as Nara Higashihiko walked in with a smile.
Nara Higashihiko, the current head of the Nara clan, had reached the elite Jonin level.
He was a prominent figure in the Land of Fire, someone whom everyone had to be cautious about.
"You're not worried at all," Akimichi Mitsutoshi said angrily.
"My clan is at the frontlines, and if this continues, we'll be wiped out!"
"Don't be angry."
Nara Higashihiko waved his hand, a mysterious glint in his eyes. "I told you, I will come up with a satisfactory plan soon."
He then placed a white sheet of paper in front of his friend.
On it was a string of jumbled letters, and since Akimichi Mitsutoshi was an unrefined man, he certainly couldn't recognize the encoded message.
Luckily, Nara Higashihiko knew him well and personally wrote down the translation of the code.
A quick glance at it made the Akimichi clan leader jump to his feet, bursting into hearty laughter.
"Haha, he's finally taking the bait."
The intelligence report stated that the Demon Face Asura was Uchiha Rei's most capable subordinate and someone extremely important to him.
Capturing him would certainly help suppress the Uchiha's counterattack.
Otherwise, the Southern Army would bear the disgrace of abandoning heroes and future hopes.
Uchiha Rei, who had long been competing for the position of clan head, would never allow his reputation to be tarnished.
To execute the capture, Nara Higashihiko had set many traps in secret.
Heaven rewards the diligent, and at last, the opportunity had come.
