"Not bad, well done."
Hatake Sakumo looked at the bells in Kirito and Chizuru's hands and smiled, praising.
These three brats really could not be underestimated. He had not been careless or taken them lightly, and had always faced them with the utmost caution.
He just couldn't attack the three of them with full force, and couldn't use his White Fang short sword and his Shunshin technique to cut off their heads as he normally would, which slightly limited his options.
But even so, his evasive abilities were still very strong, and no one, not even a Jōnin or even an average Kage-Level powerhouse, could easily hurt him.
Now, these three ten-year-old ninjas had made him fall prey to their cooperation.
Even if it was only for a moment, it meant that he had failed the trial.
It had to be said that the power of the three, Kirito, Chizuru, and Nawaki, working together was extremely powerful, enough to threaten him as a Kage-Level powerhouse, and that was even before the three had fully displayed their strength.
Now that he thought about it, the three had a very clear division of labor.
Nawaki was responsible for using his shadow clones to confuse his judgment, so that he could not tell Kirito's true body for a short period of time, and was also responsible for long-range attacks, forcing him to come out of the shadows.
Kirito was in charge of perception, discovering his location, secretly directing Nawaki and Chizuru, and then creating opportunities in battle.
Chizuru was ultimately in charge of strong control and harvesting.
"The most important position is still Kirito's. His perception ability brought about by the Spirit Transformation Technique is truly extraordinary. My ability to conceal myself, which I have been training for many years, is useless in the face of his Spirit Transformation Technique.
And his mastery of ninjutsu like the Yamanaka Secret Art: Mind Body Transmission Technique allowed him to silently command his teammates to attack, thus successfully mobilizing both Nawaki and Chizuru and allowing the two of them to perfectly seize the opportunity to fight.
By the way, what was that ninjutsu he just used on me? I couldn't even notice it for a moment. If this kind of ninjutsu is used on the battlefield, it would be lethal to ninjas.
Finally, the Seal Technique and Magnet Release, which he is best at, have never been used in this trial. This kid's methods are really diverse: attack, perception, control, and command, all aspects are top-notch."
Hatake Sakumo looked at Kirito and praised him in his heart.
Then he looked at Chizuru and Nawaki and made comments one after the other: "Chizuru is arrogant and typical of the Uchiha clan. From the current situation, the illusionary ability released by the Sharingan is very high, and her attainment in Lightning Release is not bad. Using Lightning Release to accelerate the sudden burst of movement from her secret technique gave me chills. With her current demonstrated physical fitness and combat literacy, she may surpass me in assassination ability in the future.
Nawaki's strength is that his chakra is large enough, and combined with the Shadow Clone Technique, he can cooperate well with his teammates to attack. Although his performance this time was somewhat average, he is a taijutsu-type ninja himself, and I heard that he masters a very amazing forbidden taijutsu. Unfortunately, he was not the protagonist of this teamwork and did not get the chance to display it, so overall, he has a promising future."
"Kirito, Chizuru, where's my share of the bells?"
Nawaki quickly ran over, his eyes staring at the two bells in Kirito and Chizuru's hands.
There were only two bells, and now Kirito and Chizuru had one in each hand, which meant he didn't get any.
He had just forgotten about it, and now remembered it.
"Here's your bell. You were instrumental in getting it from Hatake Sensei this time,"
Kirito gave a slight smile.
After saying that, he used the Chakra Scissor to instantly cut the bell in his hand perfectly in half, and then handed one half to Nawaki.
Chizuru, who was watching from the side, slightly frowned, and then drew her Lightning Strike from her waist.
There was a flash of lightning.
The bell in Chizuru's hand was also perfectly cut in half.
Chizuru threw half of the bell to Nawaki and said coldly, "Take it. It's not bad for shadow clones, and you can use it as cannon fodder in the future."
Kirito saw that Chizuru also gave half of the bell in her hand to Nawaki, and an appreciative smile immediately appeared on his face. He gave Chizuru a thumbs-up.
"Hmph,"
Chizuru saw this, blushed slightly, turned her head away, and snorted.
At the same time, Nawaki looked at the two bell fragments in his hands, and then looked at the bell fragments in Kirito and Chizuru's hands. He froze for a moment, and then a happy smile immediately appeared on his face. He said with a smile, "Haha... You really are my best teammates."
"Hatake Sensei, you only said before that it was enough to snatch the bell from your hand, you didn't say that it needed to be a complete bell. Now the three of us have worked together to get the bell from you, and then divided it up like this, so I think we should be considered to have passed, right?"
Kirito heard this and smiled, then turned to Hatake Sakumo and said:
"Well, the three of you just performed very well, and all three of you have passed. From now on, I declare the formation of the White Fang Squad, led by me, Hatake Sakumo of Konoha, and you are all welcome to join my squad."
Hatake Sakumo nodded and smiled contentedly when he heard Kirito say this.
He took out two bells and said that only two people had passed, with the intention of using this to drive a wedge between the three Kirito and see if they could still cooperate under such conditions.
However, the result was that the three worked together to get the bells from him, and the last two people who got the bells even handed over half of theirs to the person who didn't have one, so that the other person could get one too. This clearly showed that the three had initially understood the importance of teamwork and had begun to develop a sense of team.
Hatake Sakumo was more than satisfied with the result, and he was now full of confidence in his White Fang Squad.
What's more, all three children were the heirs to the Will of Fire, which was just wonderful.
"Yes!"
Nawaki jumped for joy when he heard that all three had successfully passed the test.
Then, he beamed at Hatake Sakumo and said, "Hatake Sensei, to celebrate the formation of our White Fang Squad, shouldn't we go celebrate?"
"That's a great idea! I'm all for it. I recommend going to Yakushi Gourmet Restaurant. They recently launched a new luxurious barbecue meal. I heard that the beef is made from imported fine-breed Wagyu beef from the Land of Thunder, and it tastes superb."
Kirito's eyes lit up at the mention of food, and he immediately agreed.
Chizuru nodded in agreement as well. She turned her head and looked at Hatake Sakumo, her eyes showing a hint of expectation.
"Okay, we should definitely celebrate. Today's meal is on me."
Hatake Sakumo saw that Nawaki and Kirito were in agreement, and knew that they would definitely not be able to escape the meal today. He sighed.
"The Wagyu beef imported from the Land of Thunder shouldn't be very expensive,"
Hatake Sakumo thought with some concern, then subconsciously reached into his pocket and felt the wallet in his pocket, which was still quite full. His inner concerns immediately disappeared.
...
Deep in the Death Forest, in the middle of a huge underground base.
This is a newly established base of the Roots, where a large number of Root members wearing masks and black clothes carry out their activities.
Darkness and oppression are the order of the day here.
"Ahhh!!!"
A scream of fear suddenly echoes through the underground base.
When the Root members hear this sound, apart from a few newcomers, everyone else completely ignores it and continues to do whatever they were doing. There is no emotion in their eyes at all, clearly they are used to this.
After a while, the intermittent screams finally ended.
Then, a body that had been tortured beyond recognition was carried out of a room and thrown away like garbage in the deepest part of the underground base.
Soon, a terrifying sound of gnawing that made the hair on the back of the neck stand on end appeared.
At the same time, in a dim room with a lit candle in the underground base,
Danzo was sitting by the candlelight, looking coldly at the pool of bright red blood on the floor. A gloomy expression appeared on his cold face as he muttered, "What exactly went wrong? Why is the Impure World Reincarnation technique so difficult? The chances of success are just too low."
After Danzo and many elite Root ninjas had studied the Impure World Reincarnation technique for several months and spent a lot of resources on it, he and two elite jōnin from the Root who had absolute loyalty to him finally succeeded in mastering it.
However, so far, their success rate in using the Impure World Reincarnation technique has been very low. It is considered good luck if they can succeed once every twenty times they use it.
Moreover, the undead puppets created by Impure World Reincarnation are generally very weak, most of them having the strength of a Genin, even if the ninja who was reincarnated was a very powerful ninja.
Therefore, these undead puppets have very low combat effectiveness. Apart from the passable advantage of being immortal, they are basically only useful as suicide cannon fodder.
After working so hard up to this point, and having spent a large amount of the clan's already limited funds, all he got in return was some worthless cannon fodder. How could Danzo feel balanced? What's more, his greatest concern, which was to use this to resurrect powerful seal technique ninjas to lift the curse mark on him, had never been successful.
Some time ago, he secretly sent someone to the ruins of the Uzumaki country, and then stole a large number of the remains of the Uzumaki clan from the graveyard there, hoping to use this as a medium for using the Impure World Reincarnation technique to create some powerful seal ninjas.
His train of thought was undoubtedly correct. If there is anywhere in the world with a large number of seal ninjas, then the former Uzumaki country's Uzumaki village had the most, and among the ninjas of the Uzumaki clan over the generations, there were no shortage of seal ninjas who mastered powerful seal techniques.
It's just that there are relatively few Uzumaki ninjas like Uzumaki Mito who have both powerful sealing techniques and amazing combat effectiveness.
Danzo has successfully used the remains of Uzumaki clan members to create a Byakuyu body that is also a Uzumaki, including Uzumaki Ashina, Mito's father.
As Uzumaki Ashina's father and jinchuriki teacher, his jinchuriki abilities need no introduction. Perhaps Uzumaki Mito, who has surpassed his teacher, is even better, but he can still be considered a top jinchuriki ninja.
Unfortunately, the impure land body of Uzumaki Ashina, which he created using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, is far too weak. It only has the strength of a Genin, and even though it retains its consciousness and follows the orders of its caster, it is still unable to break the curse mark on its body.
Improving the Impure World Reincarnation technique to enhance the power of the corpse body has now become the direction in which Danzo has been working.
However, the difficulty of improving a forbidden S-class technique can be imagined, especially a forbidden technique like Impure World Reincarnation that involves the level of life and death.
To this day, Danzo has sacrificed hundreds of lives intermittently in order to improve Impure World Reincarnation, but still has not made much progress.
This result is really a headache for Danzo.
There is no shortage of ninjas with incredible killing power in the Roots, but there is a severe lack of ninjas with outstanding research abilities like Orochimaru.
"Danzo-sama, do you want to continue?"
A Root member wearing a dog-headed mask by Danzo's side suddenly asked, his voice faint with weakness, as he saw that Danzo was still not moving.
"Of course, but you can take a break for now. Go and get the Monkey to come over."
Danzo said with a face expressionless as he turned his head and looked at this Root member codenamed Dog with solemn eyes like a black hole.
Dog felt immense pressure even though he knew that Danzo in front of him was just a Shadow Clone Technique, and immediately lowered his head and respectfully answered, "Ha~"
After that, he immediately used the Instant Body Transfer Technique to leave.
"Continuing like this is pointless. It's too inefficient. We must find someone who knows how to research ninjutsu,"
Danzo whispered after the dog had left, then waved his hand.
A dark shadow spread out from the shadow beneath him, quickly devouring the light in the entire room and plunging it into complete darkness.
After a while, the darkness in the room quickly retreated like a tide into the shadow beneath Danzo.
By this time, the bloodstains in the room had disappeared without a trace.
"I remember a long time ago, Root also had a ninja with research capabilities similar to those of Orochimaru, but he was not very prominent. What was his name..."
Danzo looked at the place where the bloodstains had been, and a person suddenly flashed through his mind as he narrowed his eyes and thought.
The next moment, he turned his head and looked at the corner of the room shrouded in shadows, and then a Root member wearing a horse mask slowly walked out. He came to Danzo, knelt down on one knee, and handed him a scroll with both hands.
Danzo immediately picked up the scroll, opened it and read it.
A moment later, a cold smile appeared on his face, and he sneered to himself, "So you've finally decided to go to war. Hatake Sakumo, Kirito Tosaka, Uchiha Chizuru, and Senju Nawaki, these annoying guys have all gathered together, just in time for me to wipe them all out. Sarutobi Hiruzen, you really have helped me out."
The content of the scroll was simple: Hatake Sakumo and Kirito were having dinner at Yakushi Gourmet Restaurant with two other people.
Danzo was an expert at gathering intelligence, and with this clue, he immediately understood that Sarutobi Hiruzen had asked Hatake Sakumo to lead Kirito, Chizuru, and Nawaki on a mission as a jōnin instructor. In other words, Kirito and the others were finally going to war.
For a moment, Danzo's mind flashed with many plots and schemes against Kirito and the others.
He was idle in prison, and apart from practising ninjutsu, the thing he spent most time thinking about was devising ways to kill his enemies.
For example, Kirito was a thorn in his side.
Unfortunately, at that time Mito was still alive, and Kirito was protected by Mito, so he couldn't use any of his tricks.
Now that Mito is dead, he is waiting for Kirito to go to war as soon as possible.
He finally waited for this day.
Apart from Sarutobi Hiruzen, the only person he hated now was this kid.
"If you want to kill this kid, you must first get rid of the ability to sense spirits derived from his Spirit Transformation Technique. With this ability to sense spirits, it is not easy to get close to this kid. I hope that old woman won't let me down then,"
Danzo mused as he stared at the name Kirito on the scroll.
The soul perception ability derived from the Spirit Transformation Technique was the most special and most powerful perception ability Danzo had ever seen. This perception ability involved the soul level, and soul jutsu were inherently rare. As for jutsu that could block the soul, he had never even heard of it.
However, there was no absolutely unsolvable jutsu in the world.
According to his investigation, the Uzumaki clan possessed a soul sealing technique called Dead Demon Consuming Seal that could seal the soul.
Perhaps a powerful ninja with sealing techniques could refer to this soul sealing technique and develop a sealing technique that can temporarily screen the soul's aura.
The seed has been planted, and he is now hoping that it will take root and sprout soon.
"Damn it, if it weren't for the fact that my true body is temporarily trapped, I would definitely have to personally deal with this damned brat, and there would be no need for someone else to do it."
Danzo thought about the fact that he was probably not going to get the chance to personally kill his enemy with his own hands in the future, and couldn't help but feel a deep sense of regret.
Under his wise leadership, the Root has recovered a great deal of its strength over the past six months.
Since he was able to get the shadow clone out of prison, he has successfully recruited several jōnin who were dissatisfied with Sarutobi Hiruzen's appeasement policy.
At the same time, by providing Sandaime with a lot of useful information, he has successfully obtained a large amount of intelligence funding from him secretly. Coupled with the puppet businessmen he has recently developed secretly again, the Root's financial crisis has been greatly eased.
If he were to be released from prison, with the power of the Root behind him, he would definitely be able to get rid of Kirito, a brat who has yet to fully grow up.
Danzo then quickly took out a blank scroll from his body, and after writing something on it, he handed the scroll to the Root ninja in front of him, code-named Uma, saying, "Give this to Uzu. She knows what to do."
"Haha,"
White Fang immediately took the scroll with both hands, said respectfully, and then returned to the shadows, disappearing without a sound.
...
Konoha, Yakushi Gourmet Restaurant, the four members of the White Fang Squad slowly came out of it. Kirito, Nawaki, and Chizuru were all in a good mood, but only Hatake Sakumo's face was black, and his right hand, which was holding his shriveled wallet, kept trembling.
Hatake Sakumo vowed that this meal was the most expensive one he had ever eaten in his life.
A full half a million.
Although the Wagyu beef imported from the Land of Thunder was delicious, he felt really bad eating it, and every bite hurt.
"Hatake Sensei, what's wrong with your face? Are you not feeling well?"
Nawaki touched his bulging stomach with his hand and said thoughtlessly.
"It's nothing, I'm fine. We should get going to our mission soon, so I'll go to the Hokage Building to pick up the mission now, and we'll meet at the entrance of the village in an hour."
Hatake Sakumo heard Nawaki's careless words and suddenly felt an urge to beat Nawaki up, but he resisted and said with a forced smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, he used the technique of instant teleportation to leave.
Today, he had to take on a task that paid more, otherwise he wouldn't even have enough money to pay for the dinner he would be invited to in the future.
He never would have imagined that there were actually two big eaters in his White Fang team.
"It seems that the teacher is relatively poor,"
Kirito watched as the dark-faced Hatake Sakumo left, and sighed.
As the eldest son of the Senju clan, Nawaki actually had no concept of money. Hearing Kirito say that, he said doubtfully, "No way, Hatake Sensei is so powerful, he shouldn't be poor. It's only 500,000, he'll earn that back with an A-rank mission."
"A-rank missions aren't that easy to complete, even the Konoha White Fang would need a long time to complete them,"
Chizuru said coldly.
Unlike Nawaki, she had been forced by her grandfather to learn to control some of the family's businesses at a very young age, and she knew very well how difficult it was for ninjas to make money and how big their spending power was.
Ninjas were a profession that kept their heads at their waists.
Therefore, most ninjas generally had no savings, and every time they returned from a mission, they repaired or purchased ninja gear and purchased training resources, basically leaving them with very little money. Even if there was any left over, it was used for instant pleasure.
"Chizuru is right. Hatake Sensei is not young anymore, and he might have to support a family in the future. From now on, let's cut back on the times when Hatake Sensei treats us to dinner."
Kirito agreed.
"I see. Alright, I'll treat you guys from now on,"
Nawaki said generously.
Although his monthly allowance was only 100,000, he actually owned several mines, and a lot of money came in every month.
Because he has not yet become a jōnin, he has been saving this money for many years.
Now that he has become a jōnin, he can finally use this money.
"Who needs you to treat? I have my own money,"
Chizuru replied coldly.
"Okay, okay, we'll just split the cost of our meals from now on. Do you guys need anything else? We're leaving the village officially in an hour, and with your teacher's abilities, I expect we'll be given a very difficult mission. So, we're probably not going to be able to come back to Konoha for a long time."
Kirito watched as Nawaki and Chizuru were about to have another argument, and quickly stepped in to smooth things over, speaking with earnestness.
Nawaki and Chizuru both suddenly fell silent, their expressions gradually becoming serious.
"I suddenly remembered something. I'll be going now."
Nawaki was the first to choose to leave.
During the process, he used multiple shadow clone techniques, causing a large number of shadow clones to scatter, not knowing where to go.
Chizuru thought about it for a while, and she decided to go back home and take a look.
Kirito returned to the Yakushi Gourmet Restaurant.
The proprietress, Yakushi Nono, saw him come and go, and immediately teased with a smile, "Ninja-sama, why have you come back? Were you not full?"
"After I leave, I'll leave the house in your care for the time being,"
Kirito said with a slight smile.
"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on the house and wait for your return,"
Yakushi Nono answered with a straight face.
Kirito nodded to Yakushi Nono and had a brief eye contact with her before turning around without delay.
Now that he had finished taking care of the family matters, he could set off without any worries.
On the other side, in the Hokage Building, in the Hokage's office:
"This mission is entrusted to you. I'm sorry to give you such a difficult mission right away, but at the moment, your team is the only ninja squad in the village capable of taking on this mission."
Sandaime handed a mission scroll to Hatake Sakumo and sighed.
"Sandaime-sama, please rest assured. Although Kirito, Chizuru, and Nawaki are young, they are already outstanding ninjas. With their assistance, the White Fang Squad will definitely be able to complete the mission you have entrusted to us,"
Hatake Sakumo said as he took the scroll of the mission and read the contents. His expression quickly became serious.
"Then I will leave it to you,"
Sandaime said solemnly.
"Ha"
Hatake Sakumo said respectfully.
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately disappeared from the spot.
"White Fang Squad, I hope you will bring a new storm to the battlefield that has been stuck in a stalemate."
After Hatake Sakumo left, Sandaime stood up and went to the window. He looked at the big tree outside with luxuriant branches and leaves and said with a deep gaze.
...
An hour later, at the gate of Konoha Village, the members of the White Fang Squad assembled on time.
At this time, Nawaki and Chizuru had both changed drastically.
Nawaki had changed into a red suit of armor similar to that of a samurai, and on his back was a long ninja sword. In addition to the Konoha forehead protector, a white cloth strip embroidered with the family crest of the Senju clan was wrapped around his arm.
Kirito was very familiar with Nawaki's attire; this was the standard attire of the ninja of the Senju clan during the Warring States period.
Nawaki's attire was obviously imitating his grandfather, Senju Hashirama.
"This kid has changed into this outfit, and his ability to attract hatred has been further enhanced."
Kirito sighed as he looked at Nawaki's current state.
Chizuru, on the other hand, had not changed her clothes, but had put on a white mask with a design of three interlocking spheres on it. She also had an extra huge uchiwa fan on her left hand, with a large number of black flame patterns on it.
"What's the deal with Chizuru's outfit? Is this what Uchiha people like?"
Kirito turned his head and looked at Chizuru's outfit, which was also very familiar, and said with some speechless:
"Okay, everyone is here, let's go, we can talk about the mission while we walk."
Hatake Sakumo announced the start of the mission as soon as everyone was present.
Kirito and the others naturally had no objections and quickly followed Hatake Sakumo.
The four of them began to quickly jump from branch to branch in the forest, all the way to the west, towards the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind.
On the way, Hatake Sakumo began to briefly explain the details of the mission to the three Kirito.
There was actually only one specific task: to cut off the enemy's supply line as much as possible. In other words, they had to go deep behind enemy lines and sabotage the enemy's supply line without any support.
Obviously, this was a mission worthy of an A rating.
This was the lowest rating, and if anything dangerous happened, the mission could turn into an S-rank mission at any time.
"I didn't expect such a difficult mission right from the start. This is really exciting,"
Nawaki said excitedly, not annoyed but rather happy to learn about the mission.
In his eyes, if he wanted to become the Hokage, he would have to constantly complete various difficult missions, contribute to Konoha, and then gain the recognition of the people in Konoha Village.
Therefore, he was eager to complete difficult missions as soon as possible.
To be honest, he had heard every day that Minato Namikaze's class, Orochimaru, had repeatedly achieved miraculous results on the battlefield. Minato Namikaze, his competitor, had always performed well on missions, and he had longed to compete with him for a long time. Now he finally had the opportunity.
"Nawaki, remember, once you encounter the enemy, you must not act impulsively. You must remain calm at all times and follow the commands of Kirito and I,"
Hatake Sakumo saw Nawaki's flustered appearance and hurriedly reminded him.
Nawaki was excited at the moment and basically didn't listen to Hatake Sakumo's words. Moreover, due to his excessive excitement, he couldn't help but quietly accelerate his pace, and in an instant, he surpassed Hatake Sakumo and became the one at the front of the team.
"This idiot, it is indeed difficult to change his shortcoming of impulsiveness,"
Kirito watched Nawaki's actions at the moment and sighed.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed and he quietly activated the Mind Body Transmission Technique, saying to the others in the White Fang squad, "Two o'clock, there is a group of people rapidly approaching our side, twenty-one in number."
Hatake Sakumo, Nawaki, and Chizuru were startled when they heard Kirito's reminder.
"I didn't think we would encounter the enemy so quickly this time,"
Hatake Sakumo sneered.
At the same time, he secretly and rapidly braced himself.
It was no surprise that his guidance of Kirito, Nawaki, and Chizuru to become jōnin had been spread by the many spies hidden in Konoha.
But even so, his reputation as Konoha's White Fang could not deter the enemies who wanted to take the lives of Kirito, Nawaki, and Chizuru.
The White Fang Squad has only just left Konoha.
In less than half an hour, they have already encountered the enemy.
It seems that his reputation as the White Fang of Konoha is not yet well-known.
"Hatake Sensei, you command,"
Kirito continued.
"Kill!"
Hatake Sakumo coldly spat out a single word.
As soon as he finished speaking, he changed the direction the team was heading in, and took the initiative to head towards the direction the enemy was coming from.
Soon, Team White Fang met their enemy, a group of unidentified ninja, all of them masked and not wearing the protective headbands of a certain ninja village. Judging from the amount of chakra, there were five jōnin and the rest were chūnin.
"Kill them all!"
The enemy's leader, an elite jōnin, shouted as soon as he saw Team White Fang.
As he spoke, he began to perform the seal.
But before he could finish the seal, a dazzling flash of blade light flashed before his eyes, and then his vision began to shake strangely, and then his vision fell into permanent darkness.
At this, Konoha White Fang revealed his sharp fangs and directly took out the enemy leader.
The other mysterious ninjas were all shocked to see Hatake Sakumo kill the strongest among them in one shot, but they intercepted the White Fang squad near Konoha Village. Obviously, they were all desperate criminals. At the critical moment of life and death, many of them were inspired by their blood, and then they all charged towards Nawaki and killed him.
All kinds of long-range ninjutsu, a large number of Kunai, shuriken, senbon, and explosive talismans were shot at Kirito one after the other.
It was clear that their goal was to kill Nawaki.
"Bastards, you think I'm scared of you,"
Nawaki shouted angrily as he saw this.
The next moment, he decisively activated the Eight Gates of Death Technique, instantly opening to the second gate, the Gate of Rest, and then raising his right leg, his body spinning at high speed.
A white tornado suddenly appeared and took the form of a dragon.
Konoha Body Technique: Konoha Dragon God!
Once the Konoha Dragon God appeared, all of the mysterious ninja's attacks on Nawaki were suddenly blocked by the high-frequency wind wall formed by the tornado. Then, under Nawaki's control, the dragon-shaped tornado charged towards the crowd, engulfing a large number of mysterious ninja.
A moment later, Nawaki's Konoha Dragon God, which had taken on a touch of blood red, came to an end. Apart from the remaining four jōnin, all the other chūnin were annihilated.
"Damn, this kid is already so powerful, he definitely cannot be allowed to live."
One of the yellow-haired jōnin looked at Nawaki's awesome display of power, which had killed all the chūnin with a single move, and said menacingly.
He immediately drew his ninja sword, covered it in a thick layer of wind-based chakra, and then used chakra rush to instantly close in on Nawaki, taking advantage of the fact that Nawaki had just finished using Konoha Dragon God and was a little out of breath to launch a surprise attack.
The other three Jōnin tacitly attacked Hatake Sakumo, Kirito, and Chizuru, buying the blonde Jōnin time to kill Nawaki.
Facing the mysterious Jōnin, Hatake Sakumo once again killed a Jōnin with a single strike.
Chizuru faced a Jōnin who specialized in Water Release. The opponent spat out a large number of water bombs, to which she responded by quickly forming a seal and using Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation.
A huge wave of fire shot out of her mouth, instantly destroying the water bombs shot at her by her enemy.
At the same time, Kirito clapped his hands together, and a dense ball of wind shot out of his mouth and shot towards the fire wave spit out of Chizuru's mouth.
As soon as the ball of wind appeared, it formed a huge storm.
Wind Release: Pressure Damage!
The wind fanned the flames, and the fire wave instantly escalated into a sea of flames, rapidly expanding several times in scope. Not only did it burn to death the jōnin in front of Chizuru, but it also engulfed the jōnin who had released Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique and the jōnin himself.
In an instant, the two mysterious jōnin were killed by the combined jutsu performed by Chizuru and Kirito.
On the other side, relying on the little time gained by his companion, the yellow-haired jōnin, who was good at using swordsmanship, successfully used his sword to slash Nawaki in half.
The yellow-haired jōnin was overjoyed when he saw this, and was suddenly happy that the mission he and his companion had sacrificed themselves for had been successful.
But the next moment, when Nawaki in front of him turned into a white cloud of smoke, he felt like he had entered an ice cave.
His companion had sacrificed his life to buy them a chance, only to find that they had been given a shadow clone of Nawaki. This was really hard for him to accept.
Just as the yellow-haired jōnin was in a state of shock, a stone in front of him suddenly turned into Nawaki.
"Konoha Great Whirlwind!"
Nawaki shouted, before kicking the yellow-haired jōnin hard in the chest, causing his chest to instantly cave in and sending him flying.
When the yellow-haired jōnin hit the ground, he had already vomited blood and died.
