Effortless Show-Off

(Please recommend and add to your favorites)

With the outbreak of the Third Shinobi World War, Konoha was exhausted from dealing with the forces of hostile major powers. As a result, some ninja organizations from smaller countries such as Waterfall Ninja, Grass Ninja, Rain Ninja, and Frost Ninja Village tried to infiltrate the Land of Fire to engage in petty theft and robbery, taking advantage of the chaos.

B-Rank Mission: Eliminate illegal foreign ninjas.

This is a large-scale, comprehensive mission that can be carried out by a team or solo, and there are no specific restrictions on the targets. In short, it targets all illegal ninjas who have entered the Land of Fire.

After receiving the task assignment at the front desk, Shunren prepared to leave.

"Uchiha Shunren!" Shunren's dismissive attitude enraged Asuma, who was already at an age where he was prone to anger. Asuma immediately used a Body Flicker Technique to rush in front of him and block his way.

Asuma's actions clearly attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, who all turned their gazes to him and adopted a spectator's attitude.

Shunren remained indifferent, seemingly unaffected by the attention he received from those around him. He simply gazed at Asuma without uttering a word.

"..." Shunren's indifference completely exceeded Asuma's expectations, because in his view, a real man would start a fight at the slightest disagreement.

What do you want?

"What? You actually ask me what I want?" Asuma was furious at Shunren's words and shouted, "You're not telling me you've forgotten our duel six months ago, are you?"

To this day, Asuma still harbors resentment over what happened that day; for the unruly Asma, it is an indelible humiliation!

Shunren paused, seemingly thinking for a moment, before finally recalling the incident from when he sparred with Asuma at the Ninja Academy.

"Ah, what's the point of digging up such a trivial matter now?"

"You call it a trivial matter?" Asuma's face turned pale with anger. What he had been holding a grudge about seemed insignificant to the other party, which made him extremely frustrated and angry. He pointed at Shunren and said coldly, "To put it bluntly, I, Asuma Sarutobi, am going to seek revenge on you Uchiha Shunren. Do you understand?"

"Didn't we draw that time?" Shunren finally understood the other party's ill intentions and was speechless. What a trivial matter this was! Calling it a duel was nothing more than children playing house. Was it really necessary to take it so seriously?

Asuma was speechless upon hearing this. Anyone with eyes could see the truth of the so-called "draw" that day, but for the proud Asuma to admit in public that he was inferior to others was more painful than killing him.

"Why are you dawdling like that? Do you dare fight me? Just one question!"

"Good."

As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of black and white swords appeared in Shunren's hands.

"What? Here?!" Shunren's immediate attack with his weapon startled Asuma, especially the pair of swords in Shunren's hands, which left a deep impression on Asuma.

Are you kidding me? Where is this place? How can ninjas be allowed to fight amongst themselves?

Asuma cursed Chunin, but he didn't dare to relax for a second. He took out the Sarutobi Clan's exclusive ninja tool, Flying Swallow, from his pocket.

Seeing Shunren's expressionless and serious expression, Asuma's vigilance was raised to the highest level. He didn't care that this was a public place in the mission hall. His whole body tensed up, and his eyes were fixed on the other party without wavering.

However, in contrast to Asuma's tension, Shunren remained standing there calmly, without even blinking.

The two stared at each other for a long while, until finally, the impatient Asuma couldn't hold back any longer and glared at Shunren, saying, "What's wrong? Are you too scared to move? Attack now!"

Shunren remained silent.

"You bastard!" Asuma was furious, but he wasn't stupid. He believed that since Shunren could remain so calm, he must have something to rely on.

Asuma was determined to do so. With a tremor of his hands, a pale blue Chakra swirled around the Flying Swallow Flying Swallow he was gripping tightly.

This is Chakra Blade! A technique equivalent to a B-rank Ninjutsu! As a prominent member of the Sarutobi Clan Konoha the second son of the Third Hokage, it's not surprising that Asuma possesses training resources in this area.

"Wind Release: Emerald Gale!" Asuma gripped the violently trembling Flying Swallow tightly in his hands, a smug look on his face as he arrogantly declared, "This is my newly learned Ninjutsu. I am no longer the same as before! Take this, Uchiha Shunren!"

Even after witnessing this scene, Shunren remained unmoved, simply watching quietly.

"I told you to take this! Didn't you hear me?!" Asuma said through gritted teeth. "It's that look in your eyes... You're just a brat, yet you act all high and mighty. That's what I really dislike about you!"

Having said that, Asuma stopped foolishly waiting for Shunren's response and charged directly at Shunren with his Flying Swallow Flying Swallow.

Even at this point, Shunren remained unfazed and did not move an inch.

"Whoosh~"

The sharp Chakra Blade rested on Shunren's neck, but the latter did not make a move.

"Are you an idiot?" The sudden voice made Asuma freeze.

Behind him, a hand was placed on his shoulder.

"Untie!"

Asuma's vision suddenly changed.

Subconsciously, he turned his head and found that it was Kakashi, with the word "Wei" imprinted on his palm, which was a gesture to unlock the illusion.

"..." There's no need to say anything more. You know in your heart what really happened!

Asuma stared in disbelief, his eyes darting around before he stammered, "Where's Uchiha Shunren...?"

"They were a step ahead of me and have already left the village." Kakashi said calmly, then his figure vanished in a puff of white smoke— Shadow Clone!

Asuma is like a wooden chicken.

"Wait for us, Kakashi! You're running too fast!" Obito and Rin were chasing after him with all their might.

Kakashi, however, kept his eyes fixed on what was directly in front of him. He noticed that even at full speed, the distance between them hadn't shortened; in fact, it was gradually increasing. He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "In just a few months, that guy's speed has increased so much?"

At this moment, Shunren, carrying the black one-handed longsword Elucidator, was seen running forward at full speed. With the boost from the equipment's attributes, his normal speed had already surpassed that of Kakashi, who possessed the strength of Chunin.
