It is now the 10th year of the Konoha calendar, only a decade since the end of the Warring States period. Slightly older ninjas are those who have been on the battlefield during the Warring States period. And in that era, undoubtedly, the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan were the most feared. Especially the Uchiha clan's ninjas. Once they activated the Sharingan, their strength would undergo a tremendous change. Whether it was ninjutsu or genjutsu, it would be seen through by their Sharingan at a glance.
For ordinary ninjas like them, encountering an Uchiha with a Sharingan was undoubtedly the most troublesome and despairing thing. However... A dozen Uchiha with Sharingan, all without exception, died at the hands of Kazekaze. Isn't this too shocking? Looking at the entire ninja world, just having a Sharingan in the Uchiha clan was above average! And a ninja squad composed of a dozen Uchiha with Sharingan, their strength is self-evident. Yet now, they were completely wiped out, just because of one person! And that person is only a seven-year-old child! Kazekaze!
"If this kind of thing gets out, I'm afraid no one would believe it," an Anbu ninja swallowed nervously.
In fact, although Kazekaze is very strong, he rarely makes a move. Except for the three actual battles with Toroi, Kinkaku, and Ginkaku, Kazekaze mostly sparred with others in the training ground. The only time he showed his strength in public was during the Chūnin exams, facing the Third Kazekage. Although that battle opened the eyes of many, Kazekaze wasn't very strong at that time. Plus, both he and the Third Kazekage were Genin. So everyone preconceived that their strength was just outstanding among Genin. After all, those who could understand the match were often in the minority.
As for the time with Toroi, Hiruzen Sarutobi was accompanying. During the time with Kinkaku and Ginkaku, Uchiha Kagami and the border patrol Jonin Masakawa were present. Not to mention with Gengetsu Hōzuki. The young elites of the Hidden Leaf Village, except for Akimichi Torifu, basically all went. And Kazekaze has never been one to take all the credit. He never took sole credit for any mission.
On the other hand, it also has to do with the Hidden Mist Village's secrecy policy. Even the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village didn't know what kind of ninjutsu Gengetsu Hōzuki could do, what abilities he had, or how strong he was. The ninjas of the Hidden Leaf Village were even more clueless. Saying Kazekaze defeated Gengetsu Hōzuki. But to them, it didn't mean much. Instead, they would think that even a seven-year-old child couldn't be defeated. Gengetsu Hōzuki's strength wasn't weak, but it wasn't exceptionally strong either.
Due to these various reasons, these Anbu ninjas more or less thought that Kazekaze becoming a Special Jonin was mostly due to connections and backdoor dealings. So when they saw Kazekaze single-handedly wipe out a Uchiha ninja squad with Sharingan, these ninjas were all dumbfounded! One person wiped out the Uchiha ninja squad! In fact, even these Uchiha, in their dying moments, found it hard to accept this fact! It was precisely because of the shock and awe of Kazekaze's strength that they couldn't accept or believe it. In the end... They died with their eyes open!
Yes. Even at the moment of death, these people found it hard to believe. These elites and geniuses among the Uchiha. Actually... Were all wiped out by a seven-year-old child! This kind of thing is simply unheard of! The most crucial part is, these Anbu ninjas, upon discovering the Uchiha clan's plan, immediately informed Tobirama. When Tobirama heard this news, he immediately put down his work and rushed to the Uchiha base with his personal guard. It took less than half an hour. In other words, from the moment the Uchiha clan started their action to when they arrived here. Not even half an hour passed. Kazekaze wiped them out so easily!
What does this imply? It implies that Kazekaze's strength is completely overwhelming! Only with absolute dominance can a battle be concluded in such a short time! You must know, those lying in the pool of blood are not ordinary ninjas. They are all Uchiha powerhouses with Sharingan! Some of them even possess the three-tomoe Sharingan!
"Honestly, even we couldn't solve these people in such a short time."
"Short time? Without Lord Tobirama, we might not even be able to defeat them. These people are all Uchiha geniuses."
"Yeah..." The Anbu ninjas discussed.
Why didn't they act directly after discovering the Uchiha clan's rebellion plan? Instead, they quickly informed Tobirama? Wasn't it because they thought they couldn't defeat these people? A slight mistake, and they would be wiped out! The Sharingan's ability is too strong. As long as you make eye contact, even for a moment, you'd be dragged into the genjutsu world by the Sharingan's power!
As a result... The Uchiha clan, whom they feared and had to inform Tobirama about before making a decision. In less than half an hour, they were wiped out by Kazekaze! Goodness. These Anbu ninjas were utterly shocked. Anyone who didn't know might think Kazekaze only dealt with a group of ninjas with no combat power.
"Wait, look at Kazekaze!" Suddenly, another Anbu ninja exclaimed. Because he suddenly noticed that Kazekaze's haori was spotless. Not to mention bloodstains, there wasn't even dust! How astonishing is this?
"Wait a minute, doesn't this mean that these Uchiha people never even touched Kazekaze..." As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
Yes. Even if the Uchiha people kicked Kazekaze once, they could leave a footprint on his haori, right? But... There wasn't! Kazekaze's haori was clean. Very tidy. So clean that it seemed out of place here. If they weren't sure that Kazekaze was the one who dealt with these ninjas, they might suspect that Kazekaze just happened to pass by. That someone else actually dealt with these Uchiha ninjas.
"Kazekaze, did you really deal with all these people..." Even the always calm and steady Tobirama couldn't stay calm at this moment. He took a deep breath and couldn't help but ask Kazekaze. These were all Uchiha geniuses with Sharingan!
"Hmm." Kazekaze showed a troubled expression, spreading his hands innocently, "I didn't expect these Uchiha ninjas to be so weak."
Tobirama: "???"
All Anbu ninjas: "???"
