"Is there really no problem?"
"That's a Jonin, you know!"
After Yasuke's reassurances, Dakota felt a bit better, but Kurenai Yūhi still had no confidence at all.
A Jonin—what kind of concept is that?
Don't be fooled by the original story, where many Jonin seem no better than extras and often get killed quickly.
But during wartime, a Jonin can determine the outcome of battles. A village's strength partly depends on the number of Kage-level fighters and partly on the number of Jonin!
For example:
It's not too difficult for an average person to enter ninja school and become a Genin.
But passing the Chunin Exam to become a Chunin is tough, as shown in the original story.
And out of a hundred Chunin, only a few might make it to Jonin. Especially during wartime, becoming a Jonin not only requires completing many missions but also stepping over the corpses of Genin and Chunin. So, to ordinary ninjas, Jonin are war machines!
Hearing the title of Jonin, Kurenai Yūhi and Dakota looked terrified, which is understandable.
If any other team like Yasuke's breakout squad heard that a Jonin was involved in their first skirmish, they might mentally collapse!
So, Yasuke's calm demeanor seemed odd and fearless to Dakota and Kurenai Yūhi!
Dakota's situation was better.
He had done missions with Yasuke before and had seen him kill a Jonin, so he could calm down with Yasuke's reassurances.
But Kurenai Yūhi!
From the start, she had no confidence in Yasuke and wanted to teach him a lesson.
Now, hearing about a Jonin and preparing for battle, Kurenai Yūhi's hand holding the kunai trembled.
Forget fighting—just maintaining her composure was hard.
Yasuke was entirely focused on the upcoming skirmish and didn't have time to worry about Dakota and Kurenai Yūhi's conditions. Especially when Dakota mentioned that the enemy team was within a hundred meters, a cruel smile appeared on Yasuke's lips!
"After all that training, finally a chance to test myself!"
"A Jonin, huh?"
"Quite a challenge!"
With a thought, Yasuke's eyes filled with intense killing intent.
Just as Yasuke was fully prepared, the enemy team appeared before him and his squad!
"Captain, does capturing that guy earlier count as an achievement?"
"Yeah, Captain! We were the only team to capture a Konoha person in so long. Can we rest now?"
"Right! It's been three days, and even our sleep is scheduled! Captain, how could anyone from Konoha break through? Can't we take a break?"
"Shut up! Stay alert, remember we're on a mission!"
With a stern rebuke, the team captain's authority silenced the chatter.
But seeing the discontent in his subordinates' eyes, the Mist Jonin captain, Mizukage Zane, felt a headache, thinking the orders were really unreasonable.
Three days ago, Zane accepted orders to lead his team to follow the main force besieging the Konoha medical unit.
Siege aside!
But three days of non-stop marching without rest? They needed a break!
Even though the Mist Village ended its "Bloody Mist" era, the orders were still strict.
Not just no rest, even Jonin Zane felt the food supply was dwindling and getting worse, making it hard to hold on.
For the pride of the Mist Village, Zane had to endure, but his subordinates suffered.
Jonin are indeed the main force during wartime, but without Chunin and Genin, how can basic forces sustain a war?
And win?
His two Chunin and three Genin were all new to the battlefield.
With an experienced Jonin like Zane leading, the danger was low, but without enough supplies, dying on the battlefield was common.
The more he thought about the village, the more irritated Zane became.
But as he frowned, thinking of a way to solve his subordinates' food problem, a shadow appeared in front, making Zane's eyes serious!
"Enemy attack!"
"Careful!"
"Swish!"
As soon as Zane spoke, the shadow accelerated, appearing right before one of Zane's Genin!
"So fast!"
Seeing the opponent's speed and the shadowy figure, likely a Konoha Anbu, Zane felt a chill and moved to protect his subordinate.
But the shadow's speed surpassed Zane's imagination!
In a flash, with another "swish," a life was lost before Zane's eyes!
The figure that appeared and instantly killed a Mist Genin was Yasuke, who had been hiding in the forest!
"One down!"
"Teacher Minato, I hope my speed didn't disappoint you!"
Yes!
When Yasuke appeared, he used the Fourth Hokage's acceleration technique, killing the Genin in an instant.
But in intense combat, the death of one Genin doesn't affect the battle much.
Because Genin and Chunin are cannon fodder in war.
So, one Genin's death didn't faze Zane!
In the next moment, gripping the sword on his back, Zane squinted and was about to unleash his chakra, slashing at Yasuke!
In an instant, Zane's acceleration made Yasuke feel real fear.
That was true Jonin speed, far above Guy Sensei!
As Zane attacked, Yasuke's pupils contracted slightly, barely dodging the blade with continued use of the acceleration technique. But the blade still left a deep cut on Yasuke's shoulder, drawing blood.
Just as Zane smelled the blood, his killing intent intensified, and he prepared to strike again, there was a "bang"!
In Zane's slightly contracted pupils, Yasuke, with feet planted, formed hand signs and suddenly used the Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!
"Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
"Attack!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
