Hunting Down Konohamaru

Shuriken: Shadow Clone Jutsu

Konohamaru's hands moved like afterimages, throwing countless Shuriken in an instant, while simultaneously Hand Seals.

In an instant Shuriken began to change, and countless Shuriken flashing with cold light attacked Kankuro, leaving him no room to dodge.

Fire Style: Great Flame Technique

The secret Fire Release Ninjutsu down through generations of the Sarutobi Clan was instantly unleashed from his mouth, and the flames completely obscured the Shuriken.

Amidst the raging fire, Kankuro could only cautiously defend himself as Shuriken lurked within the flames.

Rumble~

In an instant, a fiery red light burst forth from the dense forest. It must be said that although Konohamaru is only thirteen years old, his Chakra already far Chunin that of a Chunin.

In the original timeline, when Konohamaru was this age and faced Pain's invasion of Konoha, he single-handedly confronted the Naraka Path and even used the Ninjutsu Rasengan kill Naraka Path.

The most overpowered aspect is Konohamaru's Chakra; at such a young age, he's already capable of using the Shadow Clone Jutsu.

Konohamaru, having experienced the tragedy of his clan's annihilation three years ago, has lived a life of immense sorrow since then. The pressure of revenge and various other factors has caused his strength to increase rapidly.

After all, he is the grandson of the Third Hokage, and he received various ninja training from a young age, so he knows about some powerful Ninjutsu.

Therefore, Konohamaru's strength is by no means weak.

"Kid! You can't escape."

After the fire, Kankuro let out a bloodthirsty sneer, and under Konohamaru's panicked gaze, Kankuro gradually revealed himself to be a puppet.

Puppet Substitution Technique

Click click~

A strange noise came from behind, and in that split second of panic, it was too late for Konohamaru.

In the instant I turned around, a hideous puppet with its belly exposed was already attacking.

Black Ant (capture puppets)

In an instant, Konohamaru was stuffed into the puppet's belly, while Kankuro, whose fingers were constantly directing the Chakra Threads, jumped down from a large tree hidden on the other side.

"Let me out! You ugly wretch!"

Konohamaru, trapped inside the puppet's belly, roared angrily, while Kankuro stepped forward outside and sneered.

"Kid, I won't let you die so easily."

However, as soon as he stepped inside, Kankuro suddenly heard a faint hissing sound. His expression instantly changed drastically, and he exclaimed in shock and anger, "The sound of Explosive Tag!"

Trapped inside the puppet, Konohamaru shouted loudly and frantically pulled out an Explosive Tag. He made a hand seal, and the thick Explosive Tag instantly burst into flames.

Konohamaru's eyes gleamed with madness as he formed another hand seal and roared with laughter, "Ugly freak, I'll send you to your damned Fourth Kazekage!"

Rumble~

Amidst the explosion and Kakkō flames, Kankuro managed to avoid injury by taking cover inside a defensive puppet.

"Damn it, how many Explosive Tag did this brat use?!"

Looking up at the power of the explosion, Kankuro couldn't help but be shocked, but then he realized something.

There wasn't a trace of blood, no smell of blood, and no severed limbs!

"Oh no! That brat secretly released Shadow Clone while he was using his Ninjutsu!"

Kankuro, reacting with lightning speed, immediately understood. No wonder Konohamaru was so fearless and brave; it turned out to be Shadow Clone.

Meanwhile, Konohamaru, who was frantically fleeing through the forest in the distance, also felt the violent explosion behind him, and a cold smile appeared on his face.

The Shadow Clone dissipated at the last moment. Fortunately, the explosion of the Explosive Tag did not harm the Shadow Clone; otherwise, the pain transmitted back would have been enough to cause it serious trouble.

Dance of the Cutting Swords

Just as Konohamaru was running at full speed, a sudden sense of danger struck him, and he quickly lay down.

Rumble~

A powerful Wind Release white light flashed, and in an instant, the entire forest was exposed.

Wielding a large scythe, the weasel launched a frenzied, continuous slashing attack with an extremely wide range, directly destroying the entire forest.

At that moment, a blond figure appeared in the distance, Temari, holding a heavy iron fan in her hand, appeared in the distance with a heroic air.

At this moment, Temari looked at the destroyed forest and revealed a heroic smile, "Now, you brat, you have nowhere to hide."

Just then, Temari saw Kankuro's figure chasing after her from a distance, and she glared at him and scolded him loudly in dissatisfaction.

"Kankuro, what are you doing? How could you let this brat escape!"

Temari and Kankuro, the siblings, blocked Konohamaru's path from the front and back.

Faced with Temari's reprimand, Kankuro's face showed an embarrassed expression. "That brat is too cunning, and he actually possesses such a huge amount of Chakra."

"Shut up!" Temari angrily at Kankuro's explanation.

"I'm starting to doubt how you Jōnin became a Jonin. Have you gotten too arrogant? You even dared to commit the biggest taboo for a ninja: carelessness."

That means it Temari; Kankuro wouldn't have tolerated this treatment from anyone else.

Faced with Temari's imposing Temari, Kankuro nodded awkwardly. He had been afraid of this older sister since he was a child, and he couldn't disobey her.

"Kid, if you don't want to suffer, then obediently surrender."

Seeing Konohamaru with nowhere to go, Temari coldly shouted, and Kankuro, who was in the distance, immediately changed his expression.

"This brat is Rogue Ninja; we have the right to kill him and take his body back!"

Before Kankuro could finish speaking, Temari shouted coldly, "Shut up!"

"That brat is something else!"

Kankuro was about to say something in anger when Temari coldly retorted, "Kankuro! Don't forget Gaara!"

One sentence left Kankuro speechless, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

Seeing this, Temari's expression gradually softened. "Kankuro, I'm heartbroken about my father's situation, but this brat's identity is not simple. Take him back; for the crime of murdering his comrade, he won't live long."

"Gaara is the hope of our Sand Ninja, and a figure on whom great expectations are placed. Lord Yoru and Pakura have both clearly stated that as long as Gaara continues to develop, he will become the Sixth Kazekage the future."

Temari has a great sense of the big picture, and Kankuro is not an impulsive person. Thinking of his younger brother Gaara, he took a deep breath.

The fact that Lady Pakura and Lord Yoru have taken Gaara doesn't mean it's a done deal. Therefore, even though they, as Gaara's older brother and sister, can't help him much, they absolutely cannot hold him back.

"I understand, this brat is captured alive."

Kankuro took a deep breath and immediately regained his composure, and Temari smiled upon seeing this.

"He'll definitely survive, but if this brat resists, breaking his arms and legs is inevitable."

Upon hearing Temari's words, Kankuro revealed a bloodthirsty smile, staring at the trapped Konohamaru. "Kid, you'd better keep resisting, or I can break all four of your limbs—no, all five! Make your lineage extinct."

"Don't look down on people!"

With a roar, Konohamaru unleashed a barrage of Shuriken with a flurry of motion, then repeated the attack the next moment.

Shuriken: Shadow Clone Jutsu

With a whoosh, Temari sneered as she faced the dense Shuriken of shuriken. She simply opened her iron fan with one hand and swung it around.

With a sudden burst of powerful wind blades, all the incoming Shuriken were swatted away, and the clattering sound of the Shuriken them.

"Kid, my patience is limited."

Temari appeared in front of Konohamaru in an instant, her iron fan slamming into his abdomen. Konohamaru's eyes widened in pain as he vomited up all the food residue from his stomach.

Bang bang~

After several consecutive blows from the iron fan, Konohamaru was bruised and swollen, completely unable to retaliate.

Shadow Clone Jutsu

In a disheveled state, Konohamaru roared angrily and unleashed the Shadow Clone Jutsu that Naruto Uzumaki had taught him. He knew perfectly well that returning to Konoha would only lead to his death.

After losing his grandfather, the Third Hokage, and with the Sarutobi Clan now extinct, no one will protect him. He only has one path left: to survive, and that is to escape!

Bang bang~

Faced with the attack of more than a dozen Shadow Clone, Temari sneered and kept smashing the Shadow Clone with her iron fan. However, the next moment Kankuro in the distance suddenly changed his expression.

"Careful!"

In the midst of the chaos, a bright blue sphere of Chakra appeared before her, causing Temari's pupils to shrink in fear.

"Rasengan!"

Konohamaru roared madly. Just now, while creating chaos with his Shadow Clone, he simultaneously used one of the Shadow Clone to unleash this trump card Ninjutsu.

The distance was too close! Temari didn't have a chance to use Temari Ninjutsu to dodge.

Boom!

As the Rasengan hurtled towards Konohamaru amidst his frenzied expression, Temari could only grip her iron fan with both hands to defend against the powerful Ninjutsu attack.

Rumble~

Temari was furious at the powerful spin of the Rasengan, and her iron fan was almost unable to withstand it.

"My grandfather could kill your dead father, and I can kill you all too!"

Konohamaru roared madly, now abandoned by the entire world, his eyes filled only with madness.

"You're not the only one who knows the Ninjutsu Rasengan! Rasengan!"

Konohamaru's words directly provoked Temari immediately showed anger. With a loud shout, her iron fan was spun away by Rasengan. Just as Konohamaru's Rasengan came crashing down, Temari also produced a Rasengan in her hand.

"I am the strongest female Jōnin of the Sunagakure, skilled in Wind Release!"

With a loud shout, the blonde Temari unleashed a deep blue Rasengan with one hand, and the two Rasengan collided instantly.

The two, one big and one small, have now become Jōnin, Temari far surpasses Konohamaru in Chakra reserves and control, not to mention the village's nurturing.

Ninjutsu below S-rank is no longer considered Ninjutsu reward that was once reluctant to be given away. Anyone who can become Jōnin has undergone rigorous testing and confirmation of loyalty, not only in terms of strength.

Under Uchiha Yoru's policies, the difficulty of obtaining rewards for Ninjutsu below S-rank is significantly lower than during the Third Hokage's era.

Even during the Third Hokage's era, A-Rank Ninjutsu was essentially a closely guarded secret, passed down only through significant contributions or between masters and students. However, things changed after Uchiha Yoru took over.

A-Rank Ninjutsu has also been included in the Jōnin.

Even S-rank Ninjutsu can be rewarded if one has made great contributions and is loyal and has sound values.

Regarding the village's S-Rank Ninjutsu, it is said that several Jōnin have already been taught it.

Rumble~

After a deafening roar following the collision of the Rasengan, Konohamaru was thrown back in a sorry state, his arm bearing a bizarre fracture.

Temari was only knocked back seven or eight steps. When she stopped, she looked at her burning palms and couldn't help but show a hint of lingering fear.

"Damn it, this brat knows the Rasengan Ninjutsu! There was absolutely no information about it in the intelligence!"

Temari almost got hurt by the brat due to carelessness. At this moment, Temari angrily, while Kankuro had rushed over from a distance, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his sister was alright.

The Chakra Threads sent the iron fan flying towards Temari. At that moment, Kankuro coldly said, "This brat is too dangerous. I think we should break his limbs."

This time, Temari's somber expression did not elicit any objection.

Meanwhile, Konohamaru landed in the distance, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his right arm dislocated and broken. He struggled to his feet, panting heavily from the immense depletion of his Chakra.

"Damn it! Why! I was so close! I was just one step away from escaping!"

Just as Konohamaru roared in frustration, Temari and Kankuro stopped in their tracks, revealing a solemn and vigilant state.

At the same time, Konohamaru heard footsteps behind him and was startled. The familiar sound of puffing on a cigarette echoed in his ears.

"Heh, Konohamaru, it's been so long, and you're still such a useless piece of trash."

Under a voice like that of a demon, Konohamaru turned around with difficulty and saw the figure of the person he hated most in his life.

A tall, weathered figure with a stubble beard appeared, a cigarette dangling from his mouth and Flying Swallow pendant in his hand.

"Sarutobi Asuma!"

Since the Akatsuki Organization incident, Obito and Asuma have stopped wearing Akatsuki Organization. Now, Asuma is wearing the familiar Konoha green vest and a Konoha Forehead Protector.

However, there was a clear mark of Rogue Ninja on Konoha's Forehead Protector.

"That's not how you fight. Let me teach you."

Asuma, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, coldly stared at Temari and Kankuro, then launched an attack with a sneer.

"Careful!"

Kankuro shouted, unleashing his strongest puppets this time, while Temari coldly retorted, "Understood!"

Fire Style: Ash Pile Burning

Instantly, Asuma exhaled a thick cloud of Fire Style smoke. Upon seeing this, Temari dared not be careless in the slightest and immediately unfolded her iron fan, revealing her three-star power.

Wind Release: Chaotic Airflow

Rumble~

The chaotic, strong wind instantly dispersed the smoke, but in the instant the smoke cleared, Sarutobi Asuma, wielding the Flying Swallow Sarutobi Asuma, had already charged forward.

"Temari, you cover for me."

Facing a ninja like Sarutobi Asuma, Kankuro shouted and calmly manipulated his three puppets to rush forward and entangle the opponent, while Temari held an iron fan to provide cover from the outside and launch a sneak attack.

Watching the three locked in combat from afar, Konohamaru finally snapped out of his daze, his face revealing resentment and anger.

"Asuma!"

That heart-wrenching cry contained Konohamaru's overwhelming emotions.

He was once the high and mighty crown prince of Konoha, but because of Sarutobi Asuma, his entire clan was wiped out, and he was reduced to a figure that everyone avoided or even hated.

The dramatic fall from heaven to hell twisted Konohamaru's mind, filling him with intense hatred for everyone responsible for it all.
