What Kind of Technique Is Gun Technique?

After being verbally threatened and mentally attacked by Shuichi and Kakashi, Might Guy finally gave up his plan to run back to the village with the load on.

In the following months, everyone remained busy with their missions. Fortunately, Konoha still had many Jonin -level experts, and with the momentum of victory in the Third Great Ninja War, the cleanup of the chaos within the Land of Fire was quickly completed.

Most Rogue Ninja and missing-nin are quite sensible; if they want to stay in the Land of Fire, they must keep a low profile and try not to provoke Konoha.

Those who wanted to profit from violence and war amidst the chaos mostly went into the surrounding small countries and got involved in the complex power struggles.

With fewer missions to eliminate missing-nin, Shuichi was finally freed from his busy schedule. He, Kakashi, Might Guy were not in a fixed team; they would often carry out missions with Ishikawa Tatsuki and Kurenai, among others. This was because most of the missions during peacetime were B-rank and C-rank, and the village did not frequently gather the Jonin together.

Perhaps fearing that disappearing for too long would attract attention, Orochimaru, who had been busy with experiments and research for a long time, also made a special trip out for some fresh air. He and Shuichi accepted B-rank escort mission and took Anko with them.

The village elders tacitly approved of their actions, probably hoping that the innocent and adorable Anko would temper Orochimaru's rage...

"Sirs, will something happen to that little girl if she goes alone?" the client, who was leading the caravan, asked them cautiously.

The two Konoha Ninja in front of him were dressed somewhat mysteriously. He had come all the way from afar to make a request because he had heard that Konoha was very reliable. After all, doing business in a small country is very dangerous, and you can lose both your money and your reputation if you are not careful.

They were attacked by bandits as soon as they crossed the border, but the little girl quickly stopped them, which reassured him. If he wasn't mistaken, the two beside him were probably even stronger.

"It's alright, they're just some Rogue Ninja. The fighting strength of us Konoha Ninja cannot be measured by age," Shuichi comforted her.

After learning some Snake Ninjutsu, Anko has barely reached the level of Chunin. Now that she has a chance to hone her skills in actual combat, she is determined to make the most of it. Moreover, with two top-tier fighters watching over her, it would be difficult for her to get into trouble even if she wanted to.

While Shuichi was discussing Natural Energy and the First Hokage Cells with Orochimaru, a new source of chakra appeared in Shuichi senses. The two temporarily stopped their conversation. "Sensei, shall I go take a look? Should we try to stimulate Anko's potential?"

"Of course, as long as it's not too dangerous, you don't need to intervene. It's a good opportunity for her to correct her reckless ways."

At this moment, Anko was completely unaware that her unscrupulous teammates were preparing to watch the show. Her confidence had been greatly boosted by her Genin, and in order to prove her strength, she went alone to pursue the enemy leader, hoping to achieve a perfect victory.

"Just a little bit more, we're almost catching up!"

Anko sprinted through the woods, her purple eyes fixed on the enemy's back. When the details of the enemy's clothing became clear, she immediately threw several Shuriken to interrupt the opponent's actions.

The person in front seemed unable to dodge in time, and with two ninja tools stuck in his shoulder, he fell downwards. Seeing this, Anko excitedly followed, intending to take down this opponent directly.

Unexpectedly, her opponent suddenly turned around and threw two Kunai. Due to the relative motion, the speed of this counterattack was extremely fast, and she had nowhere to land in the air, so she could only block it with her fastest speed.

"Ding-dong... Sizzle..."

After successfully deflecting the first Kunai, it was too late for the second one. Although he managed to dodge to the side, he still managed to cut his right arm.

"Damn it, don't underestimate me, Shadow Snake Hand!" As soon as Anko landed, she used the Ninjutsu she had just learned, using several snakes to force her opponent to retreat repeatedly.

Just as she was about to be bitten, two dark figures rushed to her side from the left and right. She only realized something was wrong when she heard the clanging of chains in her ear. One of her hands was injured, and the other was being used for Ninjutsu, leaving her with no chance to retaliate.

Anko reacted quickly and jumped back, but after dodging the first chain, she was immediately bound by the second one. She struggled with all her might but could not break free in a short time, and could only grit her teeth and stand firm.

"Click-clack..."

The dry branches and leaves on the soles of her ninja shoes rubbed against each other as the black-clad ninja wearing a straw hat tried to pull her over and finish her off by pulling on the iron chain. However, they were evenly matched for a while. "You've got some strength, kid from Konoha. Too bad you're going to die here today. Being a ninja isn't child's play."

The other enemy who had thrown the chain earlier pulled out a Kusarigama, still covered in rust, but capable of killing.

"Go to hell!"

Just as the sharp blade was about to pierce Anko's throat, a figure appeared between the two like a ghost, easily grabbing his wrist. "What?"

"Crack!" The attacker's eyes widened as his arm was instantly twisted off. The familiar Kusarigama was already turned towards him. Before any second thought could form in his mind, a part of his body was pierced through.

The enemy who had bound Anko with chains was also startled. "How is this possible? I didn't even see her movement trajectory. What kind of Body Flicker Technique is this?"

After taking down one enemy, Shuichi pulled the chain and kicked him. The man flew backward like a cannonball, the force of which even snapped two large trees in mid-air. "Boom..."

Upon seeing this, the third person in the distance turned and ran. After two consecutive leaps, he was secretly delighted. In this critical moment, he had unexpectedly used a movement technique that pushed his limits. There was a cliff not far ahead, where he could use the items he had prepared in advance to escape.

But then, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, followed by a strange, soft sound, "Bang!"

"Ah... what is this?"

His strength was draining away frantically. In his final moments, he looked down and saw what appeared to be a large hole in his chest, blood gushing out. Then darkness engulfed his vision.

A few dozen meters away, Shuichi calmly holstered his gun at his waist, while Anko behind him gaped in astonishment.

The view from this angle was incredibly awe-inspiring. In that instant, it seemed as if her Senior Brother had simply raised his hand and then lowered it, knocking down that black dot in the distance. She had never heard of such Ninjutsu before!

"Hey, look at you, all disheveled. You know you were wrong, right?" Shuichi helped her untie the chains and mocked her.

Anko, who had been stunned and speechless, was about to ask a question when she heard his words, and her cheeks puffed out in anger. "You annoying Senior Brother, you just want to make a fool of me on purpose, and you've been following behind me watching the show."

"Heh, you recklessly charged into the enemy's ambush. Neither your teacher nor I taught you to do that," Shuichi to tease. "Your teacher instructed me that I wouldn't intervene unless it was a life-or-death situation. Judging from your performance, you seem to be a little short of passing grade."

The two hurried back at a leisurely pace. Anko knew she had acted too hastily and begged him to embellish her performance when reporting to Orochimaru in order to improve his impression. Shuichi, of course, pretended not to hear her.

Seeing this, Anko could only click her tongue, but quickly recalled that final attack. Unable to keep it to herself, she immediately asked, "Senior Brother, what Ninjutsu was your last move? It was so amazing! Could you teach me...?"

The scene of Shuichi extremely long distance kept replaying in her mind, making Anko feel for a moment that Shadow Snake Hand and various Fire Release seemed very weak.

But because Orochimaru taught her all of this, she swallowed her words and pricked up her ears to hear Shuichi's explanation.

"That should be considered a special kind of Ninjutsu. I call it Gun Technique." Shuichi's tone was mysterious. He said one sentence and then stopped, leaving her to guess.

"What is a gun?" Anko racked her brains but couldn't figure it out, so she kept pestering him to explain in more detail.

Shuichi a touch of mischievousness, said, "This is a weapon we men are born with; you can't learn it, so give up now."

"You're lying! How could Ninjutsu learning be divided into genders!" Anko shouted angrily.

She figured it was either Senior Brother didn't want to teach her, or it was some kind of trump card... Thinking this, she decided to give up. Perhaps it was a secret technique passed down from the Takeda Family, and it wouldn't be appropriate for her to keep asking.

Seeing that she remained silent, Shuichi stopped teasing her. Although Anko might never learn it even if she tried her hardest, it wouldn't stop him from using her curiosity to help her improve her cultivation.

"Listen carefully, this is indeed an incredibly powerful Ninjutsu, and it's also extremely difficult." Shuichi's earnest explanation captured Anko's attention. "Once you master both attributes to near S-rank, I'll teach you it; otherwise, you won't be able to learn it."

Anyway, just keep lying. If Anko really gets lucky and achieves this goal, then I'll just guide her on how to synthesize Kekkei Genkai to use as a substitute. This is a white lie.
