Chapter 9 exposes a 55-on-7 battle between 1 and 7.
There are a large number of wandering ninjas active in the Land of Fire. They come from various backgrounds, including ninjas from small wandering ninja clans and rogue ninjas from various villages. However, there are many ninja villages in the ninja world, and as long as they are not rogue ninjas from the five great villages, they will not cause too much harm.
After all, the strength of small ninja villages is only so-so, and the strength of rogue ninjas from small ninja villages is also average. Many so-called Jonin from small ninja villages can't even beat the elite Chunin from the Five Great Villages in a real fight, so they can only be considered minor troubles.
However, if other shadow villages are involved, then the situation is a different story.
However, none of this mattered to Kitahara Kaede. After completing the mission, as the team leader, he couldn't just let it go; he still had to write a work report.
"Why do I have to write a summary report even though I've become a ninja? Is that reasonable?"
Because it involved wandering ninjas, it exceeded the original mission level. Although I received more money, I also had to rewrite the summary report.
However, besides the original mission fee, Kitahara Kaede also gained something else on this trip: the bandits had a total of tens of millions of taels of silver in their coffers, all obtained from robbing trade routes. They hadn't had time to transfer the silver out, so it naturally ended up in the hands of Kitahara Kaede and his two companions. However, it was impossible for such a mission to leave nothing behind and not hand it over to the village.
Ultimately, Kitahara Kaede decided to hand over half of the money to the village in exchange for the village turning a blind eye to the matter. The three agreed that Kitahara Kaede would receive three million taels of the remaining money, while the other two would each receive one million taels.
Neither Hyuga Keiko nor Ayumi Genryu had any objections to this, after all, without Kitahara Kaede, they would have all died there this time, and even one million ryo was an astronomical figure.
Based on the number of missions they can take on and their completion speed, a normal Chunin could never save up a million ryo in their entire life.
This still doesn't take into account the possibility of dying during the mission.
It was already late at night when Kitahara Kaede finished her summary report.
However, he didn't rush to sleep; instead, he opened his diary.
[Ugh, why do we have to work like slaves writing reports in the ninja world? Is this even fair? This mission almost failed for Genryu Amaterasu. Being cannon fodder in such a dangerous world is really tough; you could die at any moment, especially since there's no protagonist's halo involved.]
In the territory of the Hatake clan.
Kakashi Hatake sensed the update in the diary and quickly opened it to find Kitahara Kaede's whimsical rant.
The protagonist's halo?
What is that?
Although Kakashi Hatake didn't quite understand, he vaguely guessed something from the name.
Kakashi Hatake's lips twitched slightly. He didn't seem to care much about the diary entry about Kitahara Kaede's teammates almost dying in a car accident.
He'd experienced this kind of thing too many times in his life, so it was nothing to him.
However, when he saw Kitahara Kaede complaining about writing work reports, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, because he had also experienced this pain. For most ninjas, writing work reports was probably more troublesome than going into battle.
However, the Sharingan is still very useful. Awakening the Sharingan increased my chakra by at least one-third in a short period of time. No wonder there have always been rumors that one must flee when facing the Uchiha clan in a one-on-one fight, and that only a two-on-one fight is possible.
Unfortunately, there were too few battles involving Sharingan users. The most classic ones were only two: a brief clash between a 50/50 player and a 1v7 situation, and the naval battle where the sea was released.
Awakening the Sharingan?
Kakashi Hatake gasped in shock!
What did he see?
Awakening the Sharingan?
As is well known, the Sharingan is a special bloodline limit of the Uchiha clan, and it is impossible for outsiders to awaken it on their own for no reason.
Although he also had a Sharingan, it was a gift entrusted to him by his teammate Obito Uchiha before his death, as a way to help him become a Jonin.
Because he is not a member of the Uchiha clan, he cannot close his Sharingan and needs to keep it open for a long time, so his normally good amount of chakra becomes a weakness.
It's important to know that the Hatake clan is a ninja clan with a lineage and history. Although they are not known for their chakra reserves, through generations of improvement, their chakra reserves are definitely much higher than those of ordinary civilian ninjas.
Surprisingly, even that became insufficient.
However, his Sharingan cannot be said to have been awakened.
Only members of the Uchiha clan, or at least those with Uchiha blood, can awaken this power.
Thinking of this, Kakashi Hatake quickly pulled out Kitahara Kaede's information.
The record clearly states that Kitahara Kaede's ancestors were just ordinary natives of Konoha. Could it be that his paternal or maternal ancestors had a trace of Uchiha blood?
Kakashi Hatake could only guess in this direction, because Kitahara Kaede's ancestors were clearly not from the Uchiha clan, and there was no record of intermarriage with the Uchiha clan in the records.
If there really is Uchiha blood, then it would probably have to be traced back to the Warring States period before the village was founded.
Moreover, even if they have the bloodline of the Uchiha clan, it should be quite diluted, otherwise the Kitahara family's ninja talent would not be so ordinary.
However, judging from the circumstances surrounding the awakening of the Sharingan, it is quite consistent with the awakening of the Sharingan by members of the Uchiha clan. It is likely that he witnessed his teammates almost dying and awakened his Sharingan in an emergency.
He was very experienced in this kind of thing; after all, one of his teammates had activated his Sharingan in a desperate situation and killed his opponent in the process.
According to what Kitahara Kaede wrote in his diary, Kakashi Hatake could even imagine a scene where, at the critical moment when his teammate, Genryu Amaterasu, was about to be killed, Kitahara Kaede somehow awakened the thin bloodline of the Uchiha clan within his bloodline, and thus activated the Sharingan.
This is also the standard way for the Uchiha clan to awaken their Sharingan.
He was utterly shocked to discover that Kitahara Kaede possessed Uchiha clan blood and had even awakened his Sharingan. How could someone with such a thin bloodline awaken their Sharingan?
It's truly amazing.
So, if we count them this way, besides Itachi and Sasuke, is there one more member of the Uchiha clan in this ninja world now?
Can this person still be considered a member of the Uchiha clan?
But a Sharingan battle?
This wouldn't have been unusual in the past, as the Uchiha clan would have sparring sessions, but it's quite rare now.
In the entire Hidden Leaf Village, there's only Uchiha Sasuke, and I guess I'd count myself as half a Sasuke.
A brief clash between a 50/50 split and a 1v7 split?
Kakashi Hatake knew that he was the one who could fight 50/50, but he didn't know who the one who could fight 70/100 was.
