At this moment, The hall was deathly silent, one could hear a pin drop.
The Uchiha Clan members all wore looks of shock, not daring to take a deep breath.
They feared that if they dared to take a breath, the Uchiha Clan elder would immediately split Uchiha Chi alive!
And Uchiha Chi, who was being stared at by everyone, now had a face as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Being rebutted so fiercely by Uchiha Chi, even with the best of tempers, he could hardly bear it now!
Uchiha Chi's eyes glowed with a cold, crimson light, the three tomoe in his Sharingan slowly spinning as he stared directly at Uchiha Chi.
An overwhelming killing intent gradually spread throughout the hall.
It seemed that at any moment, this elder would draw his long sword from his back and slice Uchiha Chi into pieces like fruit!
However, at this moment, Uchiha Chi, who was being stared at, had no time to care about this oppressive atmosphere.
Right now, he was in a daze, staring at the subtitles that appeared before him.
[Clang!]
[You bravely confronted Uchiha Chi, obtaining a random skill from the target: Uchiha Clan Style - Wire Manipulation Shuriken Technique (Mastery).]
[Your layers of Heart of Steel have increased.]
At this instant, Uchiha Chi was dazed for a moment as a vast stream of knowledge flooded his mind.
From the various styles of shurikens, to the materials of the wires, to the techniques, methods, and subtle strengths of throwing ninja tools, all this knowledge flashed through his mind.
In an instant, enlightenment, analysis, mastery, and proficiency, all the hurdles that required time to overcome were crossed.
Again, he crossed the barriers that required muscle memory to be ingrained through life and death.
Until—
Mastery!
Uchiha Chi had mastered the Mastery-level Uchiha Clan Style - Wire Manipulation Shuriken Technique!
"Huh?!"
"What, what's going on?" Uchiha Chi was dazed.
No kidding, this level of shuriken technique, the windmill shuriken that young Sasuke played with in the original story wasn't even worthy of tying his shoes.
There were no shortcuts in shuriken technique training; it could only be accumulated over time.
This level of shuriken technique, at least, required someone at the level of Sasuke with a severed arm fighting Momoshiki Otsutsuki to match.
But just by confronting the elder Uchiha Chi, he actually obtained it!
However, thinking about Uchiha Chi's terrifying record of surviving an assassination attempt on the Second Hokage, Uchiha Chi was relieved.
This was the confidence of the older generation of Uchiha Clan artists, wasn't it?
This, this, honestly, it was worthy of Heart of Steel, a kind of numerical beauty!
Awesome!
But why hasn't the elder cut me down yet?
In the hall, For a full three minutes, the elder Uchiha Chi turned his head slightly, a bit speechless.
He finally confirmed that this Uchiha Chi was just a hothead, who didn't even know what fear was.
Under his terrifying killing intent, this kid seemed completely unaffected, staring back at him with wide eyes.
If he kept staring, the situation would become a bit awkward.
Uchiha Chi finally snorted coldly:
"Since you're so eager to go and die for the Hidden Leaf Village, there's nothing I can do to stop you."
"Step forward!"
Uchiha Chi was instantly startled, snapping back to reality and looking up at the elder with a face of shock rather than joy at receiving the mission.
Wait, this script is wrong!
Uchiha Chi had been prepared to die on the spot when he said those words to Uchiha Chi.
He was almost about to give a maniacal laugh...
But, elder, why didn't you cut me down?
Why didn't you just cut me down with a swift stroke?
Can't you, as a hawkish leader, show a bit of manliness?
"Shisui..." Uchiha Shisui couldn't help but sigh.
Seeing Uchiha Chi's expression, it was clear that the youth understood just how dangerous the war was.
Look, Shisui's face was pale with fear.
But even so, he still bravely stepped forward.
Since that was the case, Uchiha Shisui, with his Sharingan activated, stepped out from the crowd and solemnly said to Uchiha Chi:
"Elder, the mission is short one genin. Please allow me to participate."
Uchiha Chi looked at Uchiha Shisui, frowning slightly, his gaze landing on the crimson Sharingan: "You are that Mirror's grandson, Shisui?"
"Yes, and please allow me to indulge myself this once. I wish to choose the mission to the Land of Rain."
Uchiha Chi, upon hearing this, said nothing, merely giving a casual glance before moving on to assign tasks to the other ninjas.
This was tacit approval.
As the leader of the hawkish faction within the Uchiha Clan, He and the doves were naturally at odds, and he didn't need to worry about Shisui's development.
The doves would naturally nurture this prodigy who graduated early from the academy, had activated his Sharingan, and was the grandson of a former clan leader, with full nanny-like care.
Compared to Shisui, Uchiha Chi was now more concerned about the problem with Uchiha Chi.
Although the hawkish faction's philosophy of nurturing talent was to throw children off a cliff, Those who could fly would naturally become eagles soaring with free will.
Those who couldn't fly would become a pile of dog shit at the bottom of the valley, which might be a kind of luck in this increasingly chaotic era.
But Uchiha Chi...
He hadn't even grown his feathers and was already thinking about flying, his stubbornness was truly astonishing.
Even he, as an extremely hawkish leader, felt that this kid might be a bit too extreme...

Soon, the personnel allocation was complete, and Uchiha Chi coldly scanned the crowd, announcing indifferently:
"The battlefield in the Land of Rain will be led by Jonin Shinichi as the captain, along with Tokujou and Shisui. They will head to the border camp and await further instructions. The hawk messenger has already been sent, and there will be Uchiha Clan members to meet you there.
"To you, I will especially remind you, your lives belong to the Uchiha Clan and to yourselves, but not to the Hidden Leaf Village. You had better understand this clearly!"
"The mission to the Land of Hot Springs, Hell Valley, will be led by myself as the captain, along with Chunin Seiichiro and Genin Chi. We will reinforce the Hell Valley garrison."
"Team members, assemble at the village entrance at 8 AM tomorrow."
"That's all, dismissed!"
Uchiha Chi was always decisive, and after announcing the tasks, he immediately disappeared in a flash.
The ninjas present exchanged glances for a moment and then left without lingering. The Security Department had no idle hands.
Soon, only Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Chi, who was deep in thought, remained in the hall.
Uchiha Chi frowned slightly.
Because of Shisui's interruption, he ended up being assigned to the mission to Hell Valley.
Compared to that, he would have preferred to go to the meat grinder battlefield in the Land of Rain.
The battlefield in the Land of Rain had been fought from the eve of the war to its end, lasting five years. During this time, it was pushed by the Rock, Sand, and Cloud villages, advancing from the Land of Rain into the Fire Country.
In the end, The Third Ninja World War saw one of the most devastating battles for the Hidden Leaf Village—
The Battle of Mount Katsuragi.
Therefore, Uchiha Chi wanted to go to this place, as it was a genuine meat grinder battlefield.
But he was insignificant and lucky to even get a mission.
He had to accept the task allocation, no matter what.
He was thinking about another issue.
In the original story, without his involvement, Uchiha Shisui would have only been able to choose to go to the Land of Hot Springs and then join the front against the Mist Village.
Without Uchiha Chi taking a spot, the doves wouldn't have allowed Shisui to make a choice. Even if Shisui had stepped forward, he would have been assigned to the relatively safer Mist Village front.
In the end, he would have earned the name "Body Flicker Shisui."
Now, Because of his appearance, the plot was beginning to subtly change, like a butterfly flapping its wings.
Would Uchiha Shisui die in the Land of Rain because of this?
Without Shisui, would Uchiha Itachi awaken his Mangekyou Sharingan and become the one who massacred the entire clan?
Uchiha Chi suddenly realized that
His appearance, his will to survive, and the choices he made had already quietly changed many things.
The future seemed to be shrouded in a pitch-black fog.
This made him shudder violently.
