--------------------------------

Though not a proper Desert Eagle, the kunai fired at such close distance still possessed very strong penetrating power.

If not for Uchiha Kan subconsciously extending his hand blocking in front, this strike, Aoha was confident he could directly pierce through his head, rather than only blinding one eye!

After firing the system's included kunai, Aoha immediately gritted his teeth, getting up from the ground, then staggered running toward the three kunai Uchiha Kan initially threw on the ground.

Direct confrontation, his current self could absolutely never defeat a genuine chunin.

Uchiha Kan suffered severe injury firstly because he was too careless, secondly because he never imagined Aoha concealed such a weapon.

Catching him off guard, he suffered such huge losses!

Once he recovered from the pain, bringing out real skills, Aoha would have difficulty surviving.

So to prevent dying himself, Aoha could only ask him to die!

Three meters, two meters, one meter...

Close!

Aoha desperately extended his hand, reaching for the kunai stuck in the ground. As long as he completes 'reloading,' he'd have counterattack means again.

But just then, a shadow instantly enveloped him.

Aoha's heart tightened, alarm bells ringing in his mind. Actually abandoning the seemingly readily obtainable kunai, exerting force by leaping sideways.

The very next second after he jumped away, a figure descended from above, bombarding the ground with a fist!

Precisely, Uchiha Kan, who was recovering from severe pain!

If not for Aoha dodging timely, this punch would've beaten him to death!

Obviously, after experiencing injury and blinding, Uchiha Kan's hatred toward Aoha completely clouded his mind.

What Hokage, what clan leader's words, he threw them all behind!

Now his heart held only one thought: taking the other's life!

Seeing Aoha once again dodge his attack, the thoroughly enraged Uchiha Kan began forming seals without thinking.

Snake, Sheep, Monkey, Boar, Horse, Tiger...

Though one injured hand greatly slowed his seal formation speed, intense anger and hatred still drove him to gradually complete seals.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Furious, Uchiha Kan not only used ninjutsu but went all-out.

A gigantic fireball roared toward Aoha!

Honestly, in his previous life, watching anime, every time seeing someone use this jutsu, Aoha felt it was slow and easy to dodge; the power was just average.

But until this moment, personally experiencing it, he shockingly discovered that this jutsu he thought was 'slow and easy to dodge,' he truly couldn't evade because its coverage area was too large!

Though this C-rank jutsu (chunin-learnable level) truly didn't have world-destroying power, he genuinely felt death's threat!

"If directly hit, I'll die!"

This thought suddenly emerged in Aoha's heart.

So he desperately ran backwards. As long as hiding inside the house, relying on [Inferior Self-Healing Body] and [Hardening], perhaps he could salvage his life.

Yes, even reaching such desperate straits, he didn't abandon hope of living.

Moreover, causing such a huge commotion in the civilian district, even a C-rank jutsu appeared. Just delaying a bit longer, people would inevitably come to investigate.

As long as it lasts until then, even the Uchiha clan people definitely wouldn't dare act against him.

It'll work!

While encouraging himself, Aoha's expression twisted as he leapt toward the window.

He could already feel intense heat from behind. Even a faintly scorched smell was transmitted.

At this life-or-death moment, a furious shout came!

"Water Release: Water Trumpet!"

Waterfall-like spouting water instantly met the giant fireball. Both C-rank jutsu, opposite natures. Determining strength was only the user's strength and chakra quantity!

Obviously, the latecomer's strength far exceeded Uchiha Kan!

The late-arriving Water Release: Water Trumpet almost instantly submerged Uchiha Kan's Great Fireball. Massive water vapour scattered and rose!

At this time, having rushed inside the house, seeing himself rescued, Aoha finally relaxed that constantly taut string. His whole person powerlessly collapsed to the ground.

If nobody came again, he'd truly doubt Konoha's response level.

"Who is it! Uchiha is conducting business. You dare obstruct!?"

Seeing his certain-kill strike blocked by others, Uchiha Kan, like an idio,t began using the Uchiha name to bark wildly!

Perhaps the Uchiha surname truly could frighten many people, but it didn't include the newcomer.

"Heh! Uchiha? Such arrogance! A mere chunin actually dares to openly attack civilians, moreover, targeting a child. Even if your Uchiha clan leader were here, I'd dare arrest you on the spot!"

The newcomer was none other than Mikawa-jonin, who, sensing battle fluctuations nearby, immediately rushed over!

Just he never imagined that upon arrival, he'd see a Uchiha clan member attempting to kill Aoha, even employing ninjutsu!

Though just a special jonin, though just Aoha's nominal guardian, though also a civilian ninja, he still didn't fear the Uchiha's might!

"Good, very good. Now, any cats or dogs dare bare fangs at me, Uchiha. I'd like to see how you deal with me!"

However, his words just fell when four or five more figures dropped around. Among them were ordinary ninja and Uchiha investigating the situation. After all, the Uchiha clan still bore Police Force responsibilities. Such security issues generally fell to them.

"What happened? Your eye... who did this!"

Seeing clansmen come investigate, Uchiha Kan's confidence increased several notches.

But asked about the blinded eye, Uchiha Kan's face couldn't help twitching. He was too embarrassed to explain the real situation. Otherwise might not gain these clansmen's help. After all, he acted on his own authority.

Thinking this, he didn't want to escalate matters further. Just his arrogant personality prevented saying submissive words. Could only turn directly facing Mikawa, feigning 'toughness,' coldly demanding: "Now what? Still want to continue?"

Mikawa snorted coldly. Without wasting words, his hands directly began forming seals, using actual actions to answer the other. Want ending things like this?

No way!

Seeing the other disagree and prepare to act, arriving Uchiha naturally wouldn't submit, much less ignore their clansman. Immediately, without words, pulled out shuriken. Some similarly began forming seals.

Watching this village's internal struggle about to enter climax, suddenly two figures wearing animal masks each blocked between both sides, loudly stating: "Hokage-sama orders both sides to immediately cease. Everyone must be brought back!"
