Naruto: Betrayed From The Start

---

The border of the Land of Fire.

A deep, man-made canyon, thirty meters wide and stretching beyond sight, with a rushing river at its bottom.

Shwoo!

A cold glint flew in, a kunai shot from the opposite side of the border canyon, with a steel wire attached to its end.

The kunai pierced straight into the rock wall, and the steel wire connected to its end pulled taut, forming a steel wire bridge over the canyon.

Shwoo!

A figure moved like a dragonfly skimming water, striding swiftly across the steel wire. In a few blinks, he crossed the steel wire bridge and entered the Land of Fire.

"Whew... safe!"

The man glanced back, secretly letting out a sigh of relief. After crossing the border, with the border patrol team around, he was much safer.

Those mad dogs from Kumogakure shouldn't dare cross the border to chase him.

The Land of Fire's border patrol team had large Chakra Sensing orbs that could quickly detect the occurrence and location of large-scale Chakra fluctuations in a wide area, then notify the patrol ninjas to provide support or investigate.

Every member of the border patrol team was a Jonin.

Only Jonin could hold out until the rapid support force arrived when the enemy invaded the Land of Fire. Other Chunin couldn't.

Therefore, Konoha ninjas on missions outside the country were much safer once they crossed the border.

At least they didn't have to worry about encountering multiple enemies without any backup.

So, Uchiha Kiske, who was returning from his mission, felt a sense of relief and his vigilance lessened.

"S-rank mission complete!"

Uchiha Kiske chuckled as he flipped the mission scroll in his hand. He was looking forward to returning and seeing if anyone in the village dared to question the ability of the Uchiha to complete missions.

He had easily completed an S-rank mission that involved infiltrating Kumogakure deep in the Land of Lightning and retrieving "highly classified intelligence." Who else could do that, who else could safely return from the pursuit of Kumogakure's ANBU?

He, and only he, Uchiha Kiske.

After all, who else was a genius of the Uchiha clan?

Uchiha Kiske continued on his way, feeling relaxed and proud, and unknowingly entered a small forest.

Suddenly, Uchiha Kiske's heart tightened. Before he could react, the ground around him rose... No, it wasn't rising, the ground beneath his feet was suddenly falling.

And it was fast. In an instant, Uchiha Kiske was in mid-air, with no place to gain a foothold, falling in freefall.

"Enemy attack!"

In an instant, Uchiha Kiske realized he had been ambushed.

But he wasn't flustered. His three-tomoe Sharingan activated instantly.

Shwoo shwoo shwoo!

At that moment, six kunai shot from left and right above him, aimed directly at Uchiha Kiske's head, heart, and other vital points.

Although Uchiha Kiske was in mid-air with no place to gain a foothold, his hands were nimble. He instantly pulled out four kunai from the tool pouch at his waist.

The Uchiha clan's unique kunai throwing technique, coupled with the Sharingan's terrifying observation ability, and his genius brain's calculation ability.

In just a moment, Uchiha Kiske found four angles and four different techniques for throwing kunai with different speeds and strengths. He used rebounds to instantly knock down the nine kunai shot at him, and the remaining three he could dodge by twisting his body.

But just as Uchiha Kiske was about to throw the kunai, he saw that each kunai handle was wrapped with an explosive tag, and it was specially dyed black to match the kunai. You wouldn't notice it unless you paid close attention.

Only the Sharingan's observation ability was sharp enough to spot the anomaly on the kunai flying at high speed.

Any other ninja would have knocked away the nine kunai, twisted their body to dodge the remaining three in an instant, and then been severely injured by the explosive tags on the three kunai that got close.

"Too bad you met me, a genius of the Uchiha clan."

Uchiha Kiske's brain raced, instantly changing his response plan, and his body was able to react instantly in sync with his brain.

Uchiha Kiske instantly let go of the kunai in his hands and formed hand seals.

"Water Release, Water Bullet Wave!"

A circular stream of water instantly condensed around Uchiha Kiske, then surged upward diagonally like a burst of water.

The twelve kunai shot from left and right were swept away by the water flow, unable to approach Uchiha Kiske.

The person who launched the kunai seemed to realize that their hidden explosive tag attack had been detected.

But they still detonated the explosive tags on the kunai.

Boom boom boom...!

The explosive tags on the twelve kunai all detonated. In an instant, the explosion's high temperature vaporized a large cloud of steam.

Combined with the two-hundred-square-meter semi-enclosed space trap formed by the falling ground, the large amount of steam at this moment played the effect of the Water Release - Hiding in Mist Technique.

Uchiha Kiske's Sharingan vision was instantly severely suppressed, and his ability to release Sharingan genjutsu, which required eye contact, was also suppressed.

Without the influence of the Sharingan genjutsu, Uchiha clan ninjas weren't exactly suppressed in strength, but at least it gave other ninjas a fair fighting environment.

There was no way around it, the Sharingan genjutsu was just that powerful.

But now, without the Sharingan genjutsu to help, Uchiha Kiske wasn't flustered at all.

While the Hiding in Mist Technique suppressed the Sharingan genjutsu, the Sharingan, which could see Chakra, still had a certain advantage in perception under the Hiding in Mist Technique, not much different from those proficient in the Mist Murder Technique.

Uchiha Kiske quickly pulled out two more kunai from his tool pouch.

These two kunai were specially made, each with a steel wire attached to its end.

Uchiha Kiske planned to shoot the kunai at the stone walls on either side, straightening the steel wires to give himself a foothold.

He was still in mid-air.

His vision was affected by the steam, so he couldn't see the explosive tags wrapped around the kunai handles in advance like he did before.

And relying solely on his hearing would always delay his reaction time, preventing him from reacting and responding as quickly as before.

The enemy knew the Uchiha clan's abilities well.

First, they used Earth Release - Earth Flowing Core to drop the ground he was on, leaving him in mid-air with no place to gain a foothold, while also creating a relatively enclosed space.

At the same time, they used explosive tags to launch a surprise attack, and when that failed, they used the high temperature from the exploding explosive tags to create steam, forming the Hiding in Mist Technique to suppress his Sharingan vision and observation ability, preparing for the final attack.

Without even thinking, Uchiha Kiske knew that after suppressing his Sharingan vision and some of his observation ability, the attack would inevitably be kunai with explosive tags coming from all around.

In this semi-enclosed space, still in mid-air, he couldn't stop so many hidden explosive tag kunai.

As for using Water Release again for a range defense attack?

That's what fools would do.

Wouldn't the enemy expect him to use Water Release to push away the explosive tag kunai shot at him?

They would definitely think so. If he continued to use Water Release, there might be another round of targeted attacks.

And for this next round of targeted attacks, he had too little information and couldn't blindly trust his own judgment.

What if he didn't guess right? Then he wouldn't die, but he would be injured.

Once injured, he might not be able to hold out until the border patrol team arrived.

So the best course of action was to disrupt the enemy's attack rhythm.

When the enemy thought he would fall, he would do the opposite. He would use the steel wires at the ends of the kunai to create a foothold in the air, like he did when he crossed the border canyon, and use this to bounce out of the encirclement.

Once he was outside the trap, with the open terrain, his Sharingan could exert its maximum suppression power.

Finally, when the border patrol team arrived, those who attacked him would either leave or stay.
