The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's Identity Was Exposed
Following behind Hinata, Naruto said with a wronged expression, "Hinata, why did you have to compete with them?"
"And they didn't even ask for my opinion!"
"Next, I need to treat Teacher Kakashi to dinner. If I also treat Teacher Might Guy and the others, my wallet..."
Naruto mentally calculated his savings; even though his brain wasn't the sharpest tool in the book, Naruto was extremely shrewd at this moment.
By the time Naruto was searching for Tsunade, Jiraiya had already swindled almost all of Naruto's savings.
Although I won quite a bit more playing coin-operated slot machines later.
But he still needed to eat and replenish his ninja tools, so Naruto's wallet shrank at a visible rate.
If Naruto were to accept these two meals, he might not even be able to afford instant noodles and would have to eat dirt to survive.
Hinata smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, Naruto! When we're almost there, we'll use the Nine-Tails Chakra to sprint, and we'll definitely win!"
Naruto touched his stomach. Is this how Nine-Tails's Chakra is used?
But if you're thinking about your wallet... it doesn't seem like a bad idea.
The running race may seem like a joke, but it's actually a way to leave the Land of Rivers as quickly as possible.
Although Kakashi and Might Guy were running ahead, the distance between them and Hinata four was not actually that far.
Once one side is attacked by the enemy, the other side can immediately come to its aid.
We're all ninjas, so even when we're fooling around, we'll still maintain the vigilance that ninjas should have.
"Lord Kitsuchi, the ninjas of Konoha have separated."
"Kakashi and Might Guy were in front, followed by five Genin, with a distance of about 500 meters between them."
Kitsuchi was not surprised to hear the report from the Anbu.
Kakashi and Might Guy are both elite ninjas renowned throughout the Shinobi World. If they weren't on guard, it would be a trap.
Even so, Kitsuchi couldn't guarantee that Kakashi hadn't discovered them.
However, the information about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is too important, as it relates to Iwagakure's future attitude towards Konoha.
In any case, Kitsuchi will not give up this test.
"Action!"
Including Akatsuchi and two teams of Anbu, the group of ten people quickly traversed the forest.
Although they couldn't track Kakashi and his group's whereabouts before, the exchange location between Konoha and Sand Village was fixed.
Kitsuchi only needs to lead his team to ambush near the exchange location to regain control of Kakashi and his group's whereabouts.
A dozen minutes later, Hinata and her group of five came into view of Kitsuchi and the others.
"Earth Release - Earth Mausoleum Ball!"
The eight Anbu simultaneously formed hand seals, dug out a huge rock about five meters in diameter from the ground, and hurled it fiercely at Hinata and her group!
"Enemy attack!"
With such a commotion, Hinata and the others couldn't possibly have gone unnoticed.
Hinata instantly condensed Chakra Fist, and while the boulder was flying through the air, she infused Natural Energy into the Chakra Fist.
Don't panic, let the stone fly for a while.
"Get behind me, all of you!"
Hinata shouted and then threw out both fists.
"Air Palm!"
'Boom boom—'
Hinata simultaneously unleashed eight Air Palm strikes into the air, shattering the eight boulders into pieces.
Hinata her Byakugan and communicated with Nine-Tails. The five of them held hands, and Nine-Tails Chakra was transferred. The red, bubble-like Tailed Beast Cloak instantly draped over Hinata, Neji, Rock Lee, Tenten.
"Protect Tenten, Tenten! Let 'Naruto go!"
Hinata wasn't one to stand there and take a beating without fighting back. She quickly ran towards the enemy while gathering Senjutsu Chakra in her fist.
Just as she was about to engage the group from Iwagakure, Hinata used a tree trunk as leverage to leap into the air and unleashed a powerful punch at Iwagakure.
Royal Flush!
Hinata didn't try to do too much; she immediately unleashed her most powerful attack, targeting the five Anbu from Iwagakure.
With the fusion of Nine-Tails Chakra and Senjutsu Chakra, Hinata's techniques not only become several times more powerful, but also faster than the naked eye can perceive.
'Boom boom—'
The five Iwagakure Anbu were blasted to obliterate their bodies by the Chakra Ray of the Mountain Breaker before they even had time to react.
Damn it!
Kitsuchi gritted his teeth and cursed under his breath before roaring, "Retreat!"
In that brief moment, Kitsuchi glanced at it briefly.
It was that Byakugan girl from the Hyuga Clan who pulled the others along and transferred the Nine-Tails 'Chakra.
"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha this generation is actually a ninja from the Hyuga Clan... This is unbelievable!"
As for that blond brat... he was completely ignored by Kitsuchi at this moment.
Has anyone ever seen a situation where the Jinchuriki himself cannot use the power of the Tailed Beasts, but others can use it at will?
"Maybe that blond kid is a loser, or maybe he's a support-type ninja, which is why we didn't lend him our power!"
Kitsuchi thought to himself.
Now that we've already gathered information about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, there's no need to stay here.
If the fighting continues, and the Nine-Tails is unleashed, the entire army will be wiped out.
Kitsuchi Tu quickly formed hand seals.
"Earth Release — Core of the Moving Earth!"
The ground between Hinata and the group from Iwagakure rapidly bulged, forming an earthen wall tens of meters high in the blink of an eye, blocking Hinata and the others' path.
"Cut!"
Hinata stood on the tree trunk with a displeased expression, while Neji and Rock Lee landed next to her Hinata after the other.
This enemy is no good!
Hinata had originally planned to take this escort mission to communicate with Shukaku and see if she could trick Shukaku into Shukaku over some of his power.
After all, that big fat cat just looks kind of silly.
But now that the mission is over, Hinata hasn't encountered a suitable opportunity.
Hinata was feeling down when an enemy conveniently came to her, allowing her to vent her Hinata.
Who would have thought the enemy would be so weak, retreating immediately after the first strike?
This is outrageous!
Are these the ninjas of Iwagakure?
I should have just let Naruto Tailed Beast Transformation and then smeared his face with Tailed Beast Bomb!
Kakashi and Might Guy arrived quickly, with Kakashi even revealing his Sharingan.
Seeing this, Kakashi looked puzzled and asked, "What's going on? Why did the enemy retreat so quickly?"
Hinata, hands on her hips and looking annoyed, said, "If you can't beat them, why don't you run away? Are you just going to stay here and wait to die?"
Kakashi shook his head and analyzed, "Something's not right! If the enemy's target is us, they should be better prepared, not like this..."
Might Guy said, "Kakashi, aren't you overthinking this? We have five Genin on our side!"
"Teacher Might Guy!"
Hinata looked up at Might Guy, pouted, and complained, "I'm already Chunin!"
Kakashi frowned.
"Genin?"
Kakashi suddenly turned around and looked at Naruto.
The reason Tsunade sent Might Guy's Team and Kakashi's Team to escort Gaara was because Hinata and Naruto's combination could instantly boost the team's fighting power by borrowing the Nine-Tails Chakra.
Of the four members of Might Guy's Team, besides Tenten, Neji and Rock Lee are also quite strong.
But the crux of the matter is... Genin!
Normally, such an important task as escorting Jinchuriki back to the village would not be carried out by sending Genin.
Unless... these Genin are very special!
Kakashi's expression turned grave, and he said in a deep voice, "Guy! Something's happened. We have to get back to Konoha immediately!"
Might Guy nodded, gave a thumbs up, and said, "Then let's continue the match that was still undecided!"
