Do You Know What the Yellow Flash Is?

The three Sand Jonin and a group Chunin were also dumbfounded. What was that thing that suddenly appeared and buried them?

The dust clouded the sky, obscuring everything, but the black-robed funeral procession with its white coffin was so conspicuous that it was impossible to ignore. It appeared abruptly, right there in the burial ground.

"Not dead?"

"Those brats from Konohagakure are here!"

"We're in the Land of Land of Wind, just defeat them and continue the mission!" the female Jonin shouted. At this point, she had no choice but to complete the mission anyway.

However, such things should not be publicized in the first place, and it is best not to cause any more trouble unless absolutely necessary.

The female Jonin Hand Seals first, throwing a sharp Wind Release at Naruto. Naruto didn't even blink, leaping backward three times to dodge the Wind Release Ninjutsu.

The female ninja's Jonin turned serious as she began to rapidly Hand Seals again.

Two other Sand Jonin also rushed towards Naruto, followed closely by more than twenty Sand Hidden Ninja. Their goal was to defeat the Konohagakure Genin.

The best approach would be to cripple or even kill one or two Genin, forcing the enemy to retreat. In retrospect, it would be clear that Konohagakure was in the wrong for invading the Land of Wind.

"Catch that brat! He's the one who ruined our plans!" said the short Sand Jonin. "Make him undo that thing, then cripple him!"

The brown- Jonin completed his hand Hand Seals and slammed his hand on the ground, causing it to cave in. An Earth Ridge erupted from the ground and surged towards Naruto.

Naruto retreated, avoiding a direct confrontation with the Sand ninjas. The Raiga Kurosuki's Coffin-Holding Technique was a rule-based Ninjutsu, meaning the three siblings wouldn't die anytime soon.

At worst, there will be less oxygen, but that's still better than being crushed to death by falling boulders.

Before even looking at the options that popped up in the system, he took control of the lives of the three Sand siblings and also interrupted the Sand Hidden Ninja' one-sided attempt to shift the blame.

Given the current situation, it's clear to everyone that Konohagakure's information had been leaked long ago. Although Naruto doesn't know who leaked the plan, that doesn't stop him from blaming Danzo first.

"That Danzo deserves to die!"

"Konoha Whirlwind!" "Rotation!" "Twin Rising Dragons!"

Team 3 flanked from the flank, moving faster and coordinating better than the other two Genin. They rushed in to fill in when they saw Naruto retreating.

This was the tacit understanding that Naruto and Team 3 had developed through long-term missions and battles, the advantage of which was that they could take turns attacking. The three of them forcibly engaged the charging Sand in a brief battle, giving Naruto a short respite.

In the eyes of the Sand, Naruto's line of sight was almost instantly lost the moment he was blocked by Team 3's Ninjutsu. Rock Lee kicked a Sand Hidden Ninja away, then retreated without lingering.

He uses long-range Ninjutsu Tenten, and he stops immediately after attacking. Neji used his Heavenly Rotation to send two ninjas flying, then immediately retreated, making contact and running away.

They were no match for a Jonin; unless they fought desperately, they would have a hard time contending with him. Moreover, all three of them knew that the main attacker of Team 3 was someone else entirely.

"Lava Release!"

In that instant, Naruto leaped high into the air, his hands glowing a fiery red, as if he were grasping scorching lava. His eyes were icy cold as he charged straight Jonin the short Jonin.

The short Jonin initially startled, then sneered. He had the advantage of height, making him harder to target. As long as he moved nimbly, even a Jonin wouldn't be able to hurt him easily.

Seeing Naruto descend from the sky, the Sand Jonin Hand Seals.

The female Jonin on the other side, watching the lingering smoke and dust, instinctively sensed something was amiss. Even though they clearly had the upper hand, and their opponents were just a group of Genin, the sudden silence still made her uneasy.

Suddenly, a kunai came flying through the air from afar, its speed as slow as if a rookie Genin on the battlefield had thrown it with his eyes closed in a moment of panic.

Lacking accuracy, speed, and power, one can imagine what a useless person the owner of this kunai must be—weak in the backhand and unskilled in the forehand.

A sluggish gait and slow reaction time indicate a qualified novice.

The female Jonin's eyes were cloudy as she inwardly mocked herself for being overly sensitive. She spent all her time on missions, constantly on edge, and now she was even wary of a group of Genin.

The kunai was right in front of her, but the female Jonin didn't want to move; she could easily dodge the attack by slightly tilting her head.

The short Jonin to block his view, then suddenly moved to the side, his hands surging with Wind Blade. Countless wind blades shrieked in his hands, piercing straight at Naruto had missed his target.

"Die, brat!" The short Sand Jonin grinned bloodthirstyly. He was all too familiar with this scene; the next moment he would see the look of terror in his opponent's eyes.

In another second, half of the opponent's body will fly around like bloody cotton being shredded by a grinder, a bloody scene comparable to a shredder crushing a pig.

However, just as the Wind Blade was about to pierce the brat's body, the man did not show any fear. Instead, he smiled at him.

"What the hell?" the short Sand Jonin his teeth, annoyed that he hadn't seen his opponent's death throes. "If you're not afraid, then die!"

Naruto remained calm, his smile laced with blatant mockery. He Jonin extremely close to the short Sand Jonin, almost face-to-face, seemingly laughing at his height.

Even without speaking, even after his attack missed, facing the imminent fate of Jonin through by Sand, Naruto still habitually revealed a mocking look in his eyes and a disdainful expression.

However, Naruto's figure vanished into thin air in an instant, and the sharp Wind Blade missed its mark. There was no feedback from the other end, causing the short Jonin to Jonin slightly taken aback.

The next moment, as the female Jonin turned her head, the limp kunai instantly shifted position, Lava Release its Lava Release technique. Molten, high-temperature magma slammed heavily onto the female Jonin's face.

"Ah!!!---" The scream stopped abruptly as his mouth and vocal cords were burned away.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the female Jonin from Sand was instantly killed. Less than half a minute had passed, from the arrival of Team 3 to Naruto's counterattack.

Just moments ago, Naruto lunged at a short Sand Jonin, but the next moment he appeared in the face of a female Sand Jonin from another direction.

This Lava Release technique could be renamed: Lava Release: Big-Face Smashing Technique.

With a swift and efficient maneuver, one-tenth of the Jonin ninja was physically exorcised, her ashes cremated. She collapsed to the ground with a thud, lifeless.

Just then, Team 10 and Team Eight arrived. The two Jonin Sand were stunned and stopped in their tracks with a group of Chunin and Genin. The two sides then faced off.

The Temari and Siblings are still buried underground in the valley. If they are left for another half day, they will still die from lack of oxygen.

"Dead?" Shikamaru was also somewhat surprised. Team 10 had never done a mission with Naruto and didn't know he had this skill.

Choji squinted, his face serious. The three members of Team 3—Lee, Neji, and the others—were unfazed; they'd seen Naruto use this tactic before during missions. A feint attack, it always worked.

Sometimes he wields the Rasengan, sometimes the Lava Release; each time, the effect is surprisingly good.

The Sand's female Jonin was defeated due to a lack of information and underestimating her opponent. Now, the female Jonin who was lively and energetic just a moment ago is lying there, her face unrecognizable.

Ino wasn't particularly surprised; she had long known that Naruto was far stronger than the average Genin. Otherwise, she and Itachi Uchiha would have died there long ago.

It is said that one should look at a person with new eyes after three days of separation. Almost a year has passed since the Itachi Uchiha incident, so it is not surprising that Naruto's strength has grown rapidly.

Naruto is far stronger than her, even far stronger than most people; this is a fact that Ino has long known.

However, given his extremely lazy demeanor during their time together, it was difficult for him to recall this matter. Ino even automatically ignored these things; Naruto was Naruto, not a Jinchuriki of a Tailed Beast.

But it's impossible to say that he wasn't moved, after all, seeing Genin usually stood in front of him without any manners suddenly kill one of the enemy's Jonin on the spot.

This bittersweet feeling is like getting used to a lecherous thief who's always laughing and joking, and then suddenly seeing him wielding a knife and killing a monster—it feels a bit awkward.

But Ino had to force herself to face that Naruto, because that was the complete Naruto. He was the one who touched her hand and gave her flowers, and he was also the monster who committed murder and arson.

The most important thing now is to complete the mission and bring the three Sand siblings back. Ino shook her head, already preparing to Hand Seals at any moment.

Sakura stood quietly at a distance, her pale eyes gazing at the distant valley. She pondered the possibility of completing the mission; they had already entered the Land of Land of Wind.

As medical-nin, combat is not the primary responsibility; healing teammates and ensuring their survival are the top priorities.

"Are they still alive?" Shino asked. The insect slowly bypassed the Sand group and flew into the valley.

"He's still alive underground in the valley." Hinata activated her Byakugan, Chakra constantly gathering in her eyes. "He's in a coffin. We'll have to move the fallen rocks and dig him out."

"It's too difficult," Kiba Inuzuka said softly. "The entire valley has collapsed, how can we dig it out?"

"Naruto might have a way, after all, it's his Ninjutsu," Shino said.

"I've never seen Ninjutsu like that before, it's just too..." Kiba Inuzuka, somewhat speechless. "It could also be Space-Time Ninjutsu, anyway, where did he learn it?"

Hinata glanced at Naruto out of the corner of her eye, her face slightly flushed.

Naruto, standing at the front of the crowd, had no time to pay attention to anything else and was trying to reason with two Sand Jonin (exchanging trash talk).

"What do you Konoha Ninja mean by this? This is our Land of Land of Wind." The short Sand Jonin had failed to capture his target and had lost a teammate to Naruto.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't understand a word of it, you shorty." Naruto said in a roguish manner, "What do you mean by ' your Land of Wind '? This place is a fuzzy zone. I was just passing by when you ambushed me."

"If this matter isn't resolved, I'm going to take action."

A threat, a blatant threat.

"Nonsense! You've clearly trespassed into our Land of Wind's territory! Open your eyes and look carefully, where is this!" The short ninja Jonin agitated that he almost jumped up to speak.

The brown-faced Sand Village Genin with a shoehorn-shaped Sand Jonin silent, his gaze sweeping over the Konohagakure Genin, a cold glint in his eyes.

"Don't rush, what's the hurry?" Naruto's face darkened, and without even needing Shikamaru's command, he naturally took the lead in the negotiation. "Since we can't agree, let's kill a few more!"

"Kid, do you think you have a chance?" The Shoe-Faced Sand Jonin drew a short sword from his back, staring coldly at Naruto, his killing intent radiating.

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere between the two sides immediately became tense.

"Naruto, don't be impulsive." Shikamaru was more thoughtful and had more concerns. "Let's..."

Halfway through his sentence, Shikamaru suddenly stopped. He saw Naruto in front of him unfasten his Forehead Protector and throw it on the ground. His golden hair was scattered, and he looked at him solemnly and said...

"I am no longer Konoha Ninja."

Heavy Tailed Beast Chakra swirled around his body, and his blue pupils revealed a serious expression. "No one can back down unless one side suffers massive losses."

"Naruto, you..." Shikamaru stared at the Forehead Protector, stunned for a long time. This was something he had never seen before.

"Lord Tsunade said that no matter what I do, she will protect me." Naruto drew out about ten disposable Flying Thunder God Kunai he had prepared, stared at the thirty or so Sand in front of him, and lowered his voice.

"There's no time. If a fight breaks out later, you should be even more careful not to let them take the opportunity to escape."

"Even so, it's still too much of a stretch." Shikamaru was starting to compromise, cold sweat beading on his forehead. He didn't want to resolve things in such a forceful way.

"Damn it, that can't be..." The Shoe-Faced Sand Jonin Naruto's blond hair, his pupils dilating slightly, as if he had remembered something.

"What is it?" The short Jonin glanced at his companion out of the corner of his eye, but most of his eyes were fixed on Naruto, watching him pull out a bunch of kunai.

"That's the move!" The Sand Jonin swallowed hard. "Kunai, blond hair, lunatic, wasn't he already dead? Konohagakure's Yellow Flash."

Konohagakure has two iconic colored ninja tools: the White Fang short sword that can cut through anything, and the Yellow Flash kunai that flashes faster than lightning.

"What Yellow Flash? What nonsense are you spouting!" The short Jonin annoyed. "I can't understand a word you say. Can't you speak like a human being?"

The Sand Jonin stopped speaking, blinking rapidly as the image of the boy before him gradually overlapped with one he had seen on the battlefield.

"What the hell?" A bead of cold sweat began to drip from his forehead. How could he have had such an absurd thought? It must be just a coincidence; that technique couldn't be replicated.

Unless, unless.

Naruto threw out more than a dozen kunai, and the Tailed Beast Chakra slowly burned. However, he could no longer Tailed Beast Transformation, and if he was injured, he would recover more slowly.

Even so, if it was just about eliminating these Sand in front of him, he raised his eyes.

"Get out of those kunai!" the Sand Jonin shouted, his pupils dilating slightly.

But it was too late. These people had no idea what the value of Yellow Flash meant.

Besides
