Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan
Chapter 202: When Curiosity Kills the Cat!

Whoosh… Whoosh…

As soon as Yama and Homusubi identified the person, both of them disappeared from their hiding spot and appeared on the two sides of Uchiha Hideki.

“You are…” – Uchiha Hideki who suddenly noticed the two strangers surrounding him was a bit taken aback, initially he thought that they are either Anbu or Root shinobi, but when he noticed the appearance of the two, Hideki was shocked, “W-what!? Amatsukami? Are you the members of Amatsukami!?”

Uchiha Hideki; similar to his brother Uchiha Ryota wasn’t part of the siege unit led by Uchiha Fugaku a few days ago.

However, as a Jonin and a top-level member of the Konoha Military Police Force, Hideki is aware of the intelligence of Amatsukami, and the available information about their members.

Therefore, Hideki is aware that Homusubi is an unidentified former member of the Uchiha Clan, not only does he have the Mangekyou Sharingan but is also hostile towards the Uchiha Clan and Konohagakure for unknown reasons.

When Hideki thought that even Uchiha Shisui who also has the Mangekyou Sharingan was defeated by Homusubi and the Patriarch Uchiha Fugaku along with other elites of the Konoha Military Police Force also couldn’t capture Homusubi, Hideki couldn’t help but panic.

His Sharingan immediately activated and all he could think of was to find a way to get out of here!

His entire purpose of disguising himself today was to go to Soru-Ku and get the supplies for the Coup, therefore, Hideki was also worried that if he got captured, then there is a possibility that even this intelligence might be exposed.

Yama saw that Uchiha Hideki activated the Sharingan and murmured just lightly enough for Hideki to catch that, “So it’s a fully matured Sharingan, huh?”

Hideki was obviously surprised and thought, ‘His goal is my Sharingan?’

Hideki was obviously angry at the blatant disrespect, someone eyeing the Sharingan so openly, and he snarled in anger, “You bastards, you dare to try to steal the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan!”

Although Hideki was angered, he still had the calmness of a Jonin, he knew that he probably wasn’t strong enough to deal with the enemy so he immediately leaped back and fired an emergency signal flare in the sky, this was the best approach he could think of at this moment.

Whiiiiisssstttllleeeeeeee……… Boom…

The red light of the emergency flare traveled to a high altitude with a whistling sound and exploded in the night sky.

Yama and Homusubi obviously didn’t stop Hideki as they needed a witness and were now waiting for an Uchiha member to arrive here.

At this time, Uchiha Hideki breathed a sigh of relief that he successfully launched the signal flare, then carefully observed the movements of the two enemies standing opposite to him.

‘The person with the fire mask should be Homusubi but who is the other one? He can’t be Suijin as Suijin has a water mask, wait, that mask… it can’t be… i-is he the one, the leader of Amatsukami, Yama?’

No one knows what amount of strength one must have to make freaks like Homusubi and Suijin into subordinates?

So, if that other person is Yama as he guessed, then Uchiha Hideki couldn’t even begin to fathom how he will get out of here!

‘No… I can’t stand here anymore, other… otherwise, I am afraid I will be incapacitated without even putting up a resistance!’ – calming down his sudden panic, Hideki started devising a strategy to find some way to break out of here.

Quickly printing the hand seals, Hideki used the Jutsu, “Fire Release: Fireball Technique!”

Instantly his chest bulged, and the scorching hot fire was released out of his mouth towards Homusubi and Yama.

Yama was unperturbed by Hideki’s Fire style Jutsu and just stretched out his right hand lazily, “Chakra Absorption!”

As soon as Yama stretched out his hand, all the fire of the Fireball Technique was attracted towards him and disappeared instantly without leaving any signs of damage.

“W-what…?” – Uchiha Hideki was stunned, and his already racing heart was almost close to exploding.

He couldn’t understand what the enemy did, ‘He just stretched out his hand, and my Jutsu was sucked in, but how is that even possible, it couldn’t be that he can absorb them, right?’ – Rather than a question, it was more of a reassurance to himself that such a thing isn’t possible, but deep down inside he knew that was exactly the case.

Why?

Because he could see the chakra in the fireball entering Yama’s body!

Although he knew that just a fireball technique wouldn’t do much damage to the enemy in front of him, he still didn’t expect that the attack was resolved in this way.

Not to mention Uchiha Hideki, even Homusubi was shocked and looked at Yama with a strange expression under the mask.

Even with the Mangekyou Sharingan, Homusubi could hardly understand the principle of such an advanced technique!

Yama maintained that indifferent and almighty aura that the leader of Amatsukami should have and spoke in a cold tone, “Struggling is futile, just dig out the Sharingan by yourself and hand it over, if you do so, I might consider letting you leave here alive, after all, pointlessly dying is meaningless!”

Hideki’s anger was off the charts, “You bastard! How dare you ask an Uchiha to dug out his own eyes!”

Sharingan is the pride of the Uchiha Clan and asking them to dig out their own eyes means asking them to give up their pride and honor, it’s blatant disrespect, and a perfect method to make an Uchiha angry, which is exactly what Yama intended to do.

While Hideki was cursing in anger, Yama’s gaze was directed towards the direction of the training field, because in his Tenseigan vision he caught sight of a young figure rushing here.

Noticing the face of the young figure, Yama was stunned, “Hmmm, isn’t that him? What a coincidence!”

…

Let’s go a few minutes back.

On the other side of the training field, Uchiha Sasuke who is around four years old was sitting on a broken tree trunk with a disappointed expression.

Today his elder brother Uchiha Itachi agreed to help him in Shuriken throwing practice, and he was very excited and rushed to the agreed training field 3 hours before the agreed time.

Realizing that he was a bit too early, Sasuke passed some time by casually throwing Shuriken to the targets, waiting for the time to pass, slowly time passed, 30 minutes… 1 hour… 2 hours… 3 hours… 4 hours… and before he knew it, it was already past dusk… yet there was no sign of Itachi… Sasuke was disappointed and depressed.

His tummy growled in hunger, Sasuke considered whether he should go back, but he hesitated, ‘what if nii-san comes and I am gone?’ this thought has been stopping him for the past few hours…

Yet there was no sign of Itachi.

Finally understanding that nii-san wouldn’t be coming, Sasuke got up and started walking towards the direction of his home, when suddenly the emergency flare caught his attention.

As the second son of the Uchiha Patriarch, although he hasn’t experienced the horrors of a battlefield like that of his elder brother Itachi, Sasuke still understands some basics and knows what a signal flare means.

He also knows that he is not even an academy student and therefore, doesn’t stand a chance against a real shinobi with the meager strength he has, so, he must not get close to the direction where the flared was fired from.

Because rather than helping, he would be a burden in a fight.

But curiosity in his heart and the innocence of a child, who has yet to experience the cruelty and danger of a battlefield got the better of him, he couldn’t restrain himself and decided to see what’s happening, obviously from a distance.

Running… and running all the way, Sasuke finally arrived near the battle site but somehow lost his balance, and in an attempt to prevent himself from falling, he forgot to control his pace and rushed out from the bushes, finally arriving at the scene of the crime.

Uchiha Hideki noticed that the help really arrived and he was a little relieved but frowned when he saw the young appearance of his helper, then, he was panicked when he realized that it was a child, and he couldn’t help but exclaim when he saw the face of the child, “Sasuke-san, don’t come here, run, this place is dangerous!”

Even Shisui in Homusubi’s disguise was taken aback, similar to Uchiha Hideki, he didn’t expect that the Uchiha clansmen who rushed over here turned out to be Uchiha Sasuke, the younger son of the patriarch!

But Yama obviously didn’t care, as long as the witness was a member of the Uchiha Clan, then that’s all that matters, besides, the person being Uchiha Sasuke is a good sign, with this Uchiha Fugaku will take Amatsukami more seriously, so he hurriedly signaled Homusubi, “Start.”

Homusubi nodded, and his figure disappeared from his current spot and suddenly appeared in front of Uchiha Hideki, the speed was so fast that anyone other than Yama couldn’t even catch that figure.

As soon as Homusubi looked into Hideki’s eyes, Hideki was immediately trapped inside a Genjutsu and fell on the ground with a muffled sound.

With Uchiha Hideki solved easily, Yama focused his attention on Uchiha Sasuke.

Slowly walking towards Sasuke with a bit of intimidating aura, the distance between the two of them decreased.

Sasuke was obviously panicked and frightened.

Under the heavy pressure released by Yama, Sasuke slowly started taking backward steps and fell to the ground on his butt, while trying to retreat backward, he said with a trembling voice, “Y-you… w-whoever you are… s-stay away, d-don’t come near m-me!”
