Quick, Use the Nunchucks

Inside the rocky cave, Tōkō, a Stone Ninja, was tallying up his recent loot. As the leader of this band of mountain bandits, he knew very well just how terrifying the strength of the Five Great Ninja Villages was.

Therefore, they chose to establish their base in the Land of Fields, a place without any ninja villages. Although raiding would be more troublesome, it would be safer.

"Brother Tōkō, should we change our base? I've had a bad feeling ever since we attacked the Land of Fire's caravan a few months ago," said the young ninja named Himèyú. "I didn't expect the war to end so quickly. If Konoha sends powerful ninjas to wipe us out, we might be in danger."

Tōkō thought there was some truth to what he said. He glanced at the dozen or so subordinates gathered in various corners. These people were all greedy and selfish. They had only temporarily banded together because they were afraid of being investigated by the major powers. Once the storm had passed, they would probably leave quietly.

"We secretly divided up that shipment and are planning to move it to another location," he whispered to the Himèyú. "When we left..."

"Boom!"

Before he could finish speaking, a violent explosion destroyed the entrance to the stronghold. Many people inside the cave were startled and trembled instantly, while some quick-witted individuals immediately stood up, drew their weapons, and assumed fighting stances.

"Who goes there?" Tōkō Himèyú lowered their center of gravity and looked toward the explosion. At that moment, the outside light illuminated the entire cave, and three figures jumped out from the smoke.

The bandits present all looked over and saw three strange people dressed in yellow, blue and green bodysuits. The one on the far right, a boy with a watermelon head and thick eyebrows, was leading the charge, making strange noises.

Might Guy was incredibly excited as soon as he entered, immediately launching a kick at the nearest enemy before anyone could even speak. "Power Prelude!"

The missing-nin had only drawn his weapon halfway when he was kicked in the face. Upon closer inspection, his mouth was crooked from the kick. He flew several meters away and crashed to the ground, clutching his head in pain and making muffled noises as a large amount of blood flowed from his mouth.

"They're the enemy! Take them down!" The attackers' comical outfits seemed like a merciless mockery, and since the enemy's attacks didn't appear to be very strong, everyone on the field swarmed forward, intending to eliminate these three eyesores as quickly as possible.

Shuichi slapped his head speechlessly, completely surprised by Might Guy's recklessness. "You should at least analyze the enemy's intelligence before you make a move!"

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Now, as the captain, all I can do is clean up after my teammates and let the Shadow Clone cover their actions so they can have some fun. Anyway, this rare beast doesn't even look behind it, and it won't care that Shuichi is cheating with Ninjutsu.

Kakashi's Sharingan spun rapidly beside him; the Three-Tomoe Sharingan possessed exceptional insight, easily discerning the chakra flow of numerous enemies.

"The person deepest inside should be their leader, most likely a Jonin. The one next to him looks weaker than him."

After a quick exchange, Shuichi and Kakashi charged forward side by side. Multiple enemies rushed at them from all directions, but the two worked in perfect harmony and had a clear division of labor, each wielding their Nunchucks in a different direction to launch a counterattack.

The Rogue Ninja wielding a scythe swung it at Shuichi with great force, but halfway through the movement, he was struck on the side of the blade by a tremendous force. He was involuntarily pulled off course by the inertia, and the tip of the blade struck the hard ground with a loud "clang." The recoil made his hands and feet go numb.

At the same time, a loud whooshing sound rang in his ears. After deflecting the enemy's slow attack, Shuichi spun around and swung his staff, striking the opponent's head with terrifying force. The blow created a large crater, and the staff was even stained with strangely colored blood, which, judging from its consistency, looked like... brain matter?

After this man was defeated, the other bandits continued their advance with undiminished momentum, cooperating well with each other. Some seized the opportunity to Hand Seals and unleash Ninjutsu, unaware that they were facing a master from the world's largest village.

Shuichi and Kakashi simultaneously displayed astonishing Taijutsu prowess. Their movements were flawless, with no unnecessary actions. They launched rapid and fierce attacks using Nunchucks and fists, which were concise yet deadly. Almost everyone who came into contact with them was sent flying instantly.

Those standing on the periphery were caught off guard and were struck in the face before they could even finish the hand seal. The impact felt as if their skulls had been cracked, and the excruciating pain was unbearable.

Before long, a large number of people were lying on the ground, some still groaning in pain, while others were motionless. Judging from their strangely twisting limbs and deformed organs, they were clearly not far from death.

Meanwhile, Might Guy was engrossed in the fight and didn't notice a sharp dagger approaching from behind. In that critical moment, several Shuriken and accurately struck the attacker.

The enemy's cry of pain reminded Might Guy. He turned around, feeling a little dazed, but his body instinctively swung out his stick and struck the enemy, knocking him to the ground.

"Earth Release: Earth Spear!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Tōkō used the cover of the cannon fodder in front to complete the Hand Seals, and the sharp earthen spear pierced out from the ground, the target of which was clearly Shuichi and Kakashi.

However, slow Earth Release Ninjutsu is difficult to hit agile individuals. Kakashi used his Sharingan the flow of the other's chakra and immediately used Body Flicker Technique to leap to the side. Before he even landed, he saw a flash of silver light in the corner of his eye. "Ninjutsu: Rain Shower Senbon!"

The Himèyú seized the opportunity to launch a continuous attack, but the seemingly ordinary Nunchucks could be used in various ways. Kakashi grabbed the back section and spun it with all his might, using his excellent perception to block all the Senbon. "Clang clang clang..."

Shuichi vanished even faster than him, his superb Body Flicker Technique startling the two enemies. "So fast! Where are you?"

When they heard a slight rustling sound from above the cave, they realized that the other person had jumped into the air. Before they could even turn around, Shuichi used his Continuous Body Flicker technique to appear behind the Himèyú and then slammed his stick down.

The Himèyú felt that the opponent's speed made his muscles feel out of place, as if his brain was receiving two signals at the same time but his body couldn't complete them. That feeling was extremely uncomfortable.

Fortunately, his good friend came to his rescue at the critical moment. Tōkō quickly slashed at Shuichi's arm to force him to retreat.

Shuichi didn't bother using Magnet Release to resist. He instantly withdrew his hands, spun the Nunchucks under his armpits, and then delivered a sweeping kick to Tōkō's ankle. The speed of his movements left Tsuchikage completely unable to react.

Kakashi, who was not far away, also seized the opportunity to get close, and the two of them tacitly targeted the leader of the enemy.

Seeing this, Tōkō cried out in alarm. Despite losing his balance, he struggled to break free and swung his sword at Kakashi, who was running towards him. However, in the corner of his eye, he saw Kakashi's blood-red left eye. Kakashi simply twisted his body to the side, and the blade grazed past him, leaving him with nothing.

"Huff..." Kakashi dodged and then attacked without stopping. His stick struck Tōkō's head with a loud "smack," and when they separated, Tsuchikage's ear was already a bloody mess.

"Aaaaah..." Tōkō cried out in unbearable pain, and Shuichi followed up from behind, striking with the force of lightning. The tip of the Nunchucks struck the back of his opponent's head directly, and the terrifying force made his vision go black, causing him to immediately collapse to the ground unconscious.

The Himèyú cried out in slight panic, "Are you Konoha Ninja?"

Judging from their Body Flicker Technique and Taijutsu alone, it's clear they are incredibly strong. They've only recently offended the Land of Fire, so such a powerful fighter must be from Konoha.

Not wanting to hear any answer, he headed straight for the cave entrance without looking back, intending to escape this cave stronghold amidst the chaos.

But Shuichi wouldn't let him get away with it. The Nunchucks flew out of his hand, spinning and forcing Himèyú to dodge in time.

Just as he jumped into the air, a powerful kick struck him in the waist, sending him flying and crashing into the stone wall. The impact sent shards of rock flying as he fell, nearly killing him.

"It's over?" Seeing all the surrounding enemies lying dead, Might Guy shouted, "I took down five people in total, does that mean I won?"

Shuichi: "I have seven."

Kakashi added, "I have six."

"Ugh... damn it, so close!" Might Guy clenched his fist to encourage himself. "If I just try a little harder, I'll definitely win next time."

Shuichi didn't explain the details to him; he just bluffed his way out of it.

Seeing that few people on the field were able to move, he immediately grabbed the trembling Himèyú and asked Kakashi, "Can your Sharingan perform Genjutsu torture?"

"It doesn't seem to be enough." Kakashi was slightly out of breath. Maintaining such a high level of perception required a constant drain on his chakra, and he hadn't expected to feel fatigued so quickly. Was he going to become a one-hit wonder?
