Usurping Akatsuki: Rewriting the Fate of the Ninja World

Shiba Kiyokawa did this not only because of his special physique but also because he now also knows a little about healing ninjutsu.

The four abilities rewarded to him by the system before came from the four people in Minato Namikaze's team: the illusion experience given by Obito, the White Fang Sword Technique given by Kakashi, the Uzumaki physique given by Minato Namikaze, and finally the kidnapped Nohara Rin also gave her own contribution—the training experience of Konoha's healing class.

You must know that due to Tsunade's vigorous promotion, Konoha's medical ninja training system is far ahead in the ninja world. Not to mention the backward Rain Ninja; even the other four major Ninja villages cannot keep up with Konoha in this regard.

Shiba Kiyokawa had only studied in his dreams for a few nights, and he already felt greatly benefitted.

For this powerful wind escape, he used chakra to protect his vital heart meridians in advance to ensure that he would only be injured but not die.

As for the rest, it depends on luck!

In the end, judging from the results, his luck wasn't bad.

The cuts on the body surface looked horrific, but considering the physique of a ninja, these were only minor injuries and were far from being fatal.

On the other hand, the Grass Ninja was cut in the neck by a knife after he got close to him! The Grass Ninja

jumped back in panic, stretched out his hand to cover his neck, and tried in vain to press the leaking trachea with his palm attached to chakra, but it was a pity that the result was counterproductive. His increasingly dizzy mind reminded him that his life was irreversibly leaving him.

"you!"

When he was about to die, the unwilling Grass Ninja cursed Shiba Kiyokawa viciously.

"You, the Uzumaki clan, are all trouble! You are seriously injured and can't take everyone with you! I will wait for you in the Pure Land!"

He was filled with resentment, and even though his throat was leaking air, he still spit out vicious words at Shiba Kiyokawa with blood foam in his eyes.

It was a pity that Shiba Kiyokawa smiled easily and didn't take it to heart at all. He even pointed in the distance, put his hand to his ear, made a listening gesture to him, and said, "Don't talk, just listen."

The next moment, the wind from that direction brought the sound from the valley—

"Shinra Tensei!"

Sure enough, it still has the same flavour, Shiba Kiyokawa thought, It's just a pity that there is no more chanting and rocking without a bag of rice to carry to the floors; it's not sentimental enough.

Then there was a tremor!

The surrounding mountains were cracked, and the turbulent water upstream of the waterfall pushed large pieces of gravel down like a flood, causing a series of subsequent roars!

The favorable terrain carefully selected by Shiba Kiyokawa, combined with Nagato's full-strength "Shinra Tensei", gave the pursuing Kusanagi a wave of unexpected luxury gifts!

At this moment, the Kusagakure Village jonin who was kneeling in front of Shiba Kiyokawa and covering his neck was stunned by the noise.

At the moment when Shiba Kiyokawa counterattacked and killed him, the only consolation left in his heart was that he had held back and seriously injured this terrible Uzumaki orphan, so the other people in the village would definitely be able to successfully capture the others, right?

But who would have thought that so soon Shiba Kiyokawa would treat him to a desperate show!

With such a terrible noise, the teammates in the distance would not be able to catch the enemy, and their last chance of survival would be cut off!

It was not until this moment that the Grass Ninja finally realised: only their Grass Ninja Village would be in trouble tonight, and the Rain Ninja in front of him would be fine.

"What... is that... power? You—"

His face was turning purple due to lack of oxygen, and his voice was getting deeper and deeper.

But Shiba Kiyokawa didn't explain any further.

He was in a hurry, so he made a final gesture to the Kusanagi to keep quiet.

"Shh, you ask too many questions. Don't ask about things you shouldn't know."

Then he stabbed the opponent's forehead with a knife and then launched a Ninjutsu.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Attraction!"

This time he was more cautious than usual. Not only did he not have time to answer the dying man's questions, he also had to make a second move to completely destroy the man's brain.

Because he had to help Nagato keep the secret of the Rinnegan.

After doing all this, Shiba Kiyokawa rested for a while, biting his wrist to recover from the injury a little, then jumped up from the tree branch and rushed towards Nagato.

The battle was over when he arrived.

The Rinnegan is still very powerful. Even the young Nagato can easily use the terrain to kill and wipe out this group of grass ninjas.

All that remained was to clean up the battlefield.

The honest Masuda Kazuki came over and asked, "Captain Kiyokawa, do we need to deal with all these bodies?"

Shiba Kiyokawa replied casually, "Yes, to save time, just destroy the brain. If there is no time to burn the body, then don't deal with it. If you don't understand, you can ask Kenjiro."

Masuda Kazuki was in awe when he heard this: "Brother Kenjiro, are you really good at this?"

Shiba Kiyokawa was about to explain why Kenjiro was so skilled, but when he turned around, he happened to catch a glimpse of the seriously injured Kenjiro standing not far away, looking at him with fear.

Excluding himself, who has the ability to heal himself and also masters medical ninjutsu, Kenjiro is the person most seriously injured in tonight's operation.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Shiba Kiyokawa; it was just a coincidence.

But now, noticing the timidity and hidden guilt in Kenjiro's eyes when he looked at him, Shiba Kiyokawa suddenly became thoughtful and simply accepted the other party's suspicion without saying a word.

He deliberately told Masuda Kazuki, "Yes, Brother Kenjiro is very good at this. He often helped me deal with these trivial matters in the past. If you don't understand something, just ask him more. He is very skilled."

Masuda Kazuki was a very honest man. He was surprised and blurted out, "Huh? I didn't expect that Brother Kenjiro would be such a person. I used to think that he agreed with the faction of leader Yahiko and usually tried not to kill people. I didn't expect that he would be so skilled in handling corpses."

At that moment, Kenjiro, who was seriously injured not far away, couldn't stop shaking, then coughed twice, walked forward, and forcefully pulled Masuda Kazuki away.

Shiba Kiyokawa did not stop him, but took the opportunity to give Kenjiro a meaningful smile.

In today's game, although Shiba Kiyokawa guessed Kenjiro's choice from the beginning and took advantage of his behaviour, he earned Nagato's gratitude and trust.

But in the eyes of uninformed bystanders, and even in the eyes of Kenjiro himself, there was no doubt that he had betrayed Shiba Kiyokawa today.

When arranging the reconnaissance mission, Shiba Kiyokawa clearly instructed: Don't tell Nagato about this yet.

But as a subordinate, Kenjiro disobeyed the orders of his captain.

So even though Shiba Kiyokawa had actually guessed that things would develop in this way, he still did not intend to miss the opportunity to warn Kenjiro.

As it happened, even luck was on his side this time.

Among the members of the team that stayed behind to delay the Kusanagi, Kazuki Masuda was fine, but Kenjiro was seriously injured in the previous chase.

Because of his long-standing respect for Shiba Kiyokawa, Kenjiro, feeling guilty, directly regarded this as a warning from Shiba Kiyokawa!

And Shiba Kiyokawa simply accepted the trick.

Soon, after hastily dealing with all the corpses of the grass ninja, they left quickly and returned via a detour.

In the second half of the night, when they returned safely to their destination in the town of Grass Country, Kenjiro took the initiative to quietly come to Shiba Kiyokawa's room before going to bed. As soon as he entered the room, his face turned pale, and he bent down and said.

"I'm sorry, Captain. I was the one who told Chief Nagato about today's scouting trip."

Shiba Kiyokawa sat back on the bed, holding a book in his hand, his arms resting on his bent knees, looking at the other person quietly sideways, without speaking for a long time.

He knew why Kenjiro came.

But at this point he no longer needs to accept the other party's apology.

"Kenjiro, you and I have been on a team together for a few months. As your captain, I just want to give you a piece of advice."

Kenjiro lowered his head even lower, and his tone became more humble. "You say."

"Sometimes, loyalty is not absolute; it is absolutely disloyal!"
