The Joyful Art of Performance

The Kunai with the Explosive Tag attached were just a feint. These Senbon are hidden in the shadow of the projectiles and are almost invisible to the naked eye, so I don't know why they didn't have any effect.

Moreover, taking advantage of the smoke from the explosion, Takamura made a second move. The first wave of attacks used Earth Release and Shuriken to Teuchi, while simultaneously covering his teammates who were lying in ambush nearby. If Ishikawa Tatsuki and the others were to move, they would likely step directly into a trap.

The three members of the Konoha Squad guessed that there might be danger around them, so they did not use the Body Flicker Technique again. They quickly regrouped when they noticed a brief gap in the enemy's attack.

"They're still a bit green. Although they have a lot of tricks up their sleeves, they have a long way to go before they become Jonin." Shuichi was watching from the shadows. He had blocked two dangerous attacks earlier, otherwise Ishikawa Tatsuki and the others would definitely have suffered casualties.

Combat experience is extremely important for ninjas, and this is the most difficult aspect to teach.

Shuichi can give them all sorts of good cards, but he can't possibly simulate every battle scenario in the Shinobi World. Whether they can utilize them effectively in actual combat depends entirely on their individual understanding. Of course, this rule doesn't apply to geniuses and those who have cheat codes.

There are definitely Jonin among our opponents, perhaps more than one. Let Ishikawa Tatsuki and the others do their best; they still have a mission to carry out...

"Splash..."

After the long-range attack ended, a total of four figures emerged from underground and behind bamboo, attacking the Konoha Squad at the same time.

The enemy had laid an ambush beforehand, bringing the two sides very close. Asuma and the others only needed to glance at them to determine that there wasn't enough time to form Hand Seals, and that the enemy had one more person. Kurenai's Genjutsu would definitely be disrupted, so close combat was the only option.

"Ta-da..."

Ishikawa Tatsuki and Asuma drew their weapons and quickly slashed at the enemy, only to find themselves at a disadvantage in strength. They could only cover each other as they fought and retreated. Kurenai's opponent was huge, and it was clear that she couldn't fight him head-on. However, with her relatively agile skills, she was safe for the time being.

"Strange, where did Ghost Eye Man go?" The Stone Ninja chased after Kurenai, hacking wildly. His opponent was a young girl, so strength was definitely not her forte. Therefore, she must have some strange secret technique. He couldn't give her a chance to counterattack.

According to their plan, Captain Takamura was responsible for dealing with the missing fourth person, while another Jonin, would cooperate with them using Ninjutsu to kill these opponents in a short time. However, there has been no news of their actions.

Cold sweat trickled down Takamura's forehead. He didn't know where Ghost Eye Man had gone. The person who disappeared must be a master. He couldn't afford to waste any more time like this.

After completing the hand seals, he instantly rushed out from behind the rock, but a figure suddenly flashed in front of him, startling him into stopping.

"Hello!" Shuichi a smile, carrying a corpse in his hand. Takamura recognized the corpse as his teammate, Oni-tomi, and then shouted without hesitation as he charged towards Shuichi.

Shuichi Jonin the Iwagakure he had already killed, then brought two fingers together and slashed forward, "Chidori Sharp Spear!"

"Crack..." Takamura's body was sliced in two, but no blood flowed out. Instead, it broke into two pieces of rock, clearly a Stone Clone.

The moment Shuichi made his move, Takamura's true form struck the Konoha Squad like lightning, intending to use these three kids as a breakthrough point to try and change the situation.

Shuichi turned his head without any hurry, instead revealing an evil smile. The other party's primary target was Asuma. Didn't the Third Hokage want him to "train" him? That would be perfect for him to have some fun.

Asuma was already struggling to defend against attacks from several directions, and seeing another dark figure rapidly approaching, he decided to go all out, yelling, "Hah!"

He took a blow from his opponent's shoulder, colliding directly with the enemy. In a desperate act of mutual destruction, he pierced through one of the enemies. Shuichi thought he should thank Konoha's vest maker, otherwise he might have lost his arm.

Just as he struck the enemy, Takamura swiftly closed in, a black short sword stabbing out like a venomous snake.

Asuma, held tightly by the dying Stone Ninja, knew he was in danger, yet fearlessly smashed his head against Takamura. Though extremely reckless, it was nonetheless commendable in its courage...

"Brush!"

Takamura's black short sword had already pierced his opponent's outer garment, and he was about to deliver the fatal blow when the two figures vanished in an instant. "What? How is this possible?"

Asuma's expression was extremely ferocious. He felt that he was already a qualified ninja and did not need the Third Hokage to treat him like a child, because he was also prepared to die.

As he recalled his short life at the brink of death, he suddenly felt a blur before his eyes, and when he came to his senses, there was nothing in his field of vision, and he could only hear the rustling of bamboo leaves in the breeze.

"How about you call yourself Iron Blood Warrior from now on? And your special move can be named Rocket Headbutt?" Shuichi couldn't help but laugh out loud. This chuunibyou kid was quite amusing.

Asuma smirked and put on a cocky expression. He decided that he must leave the village to prove himself, and even had plans to set off soon. However, considering that his current strength was still a bit lacking, it seemed that he would have to wait a few more years.

"This Ninjutsu was used by... Namikaze Minato! No, there's someone else who knows it..." Takamura's killing blow missed, and his body went unsteady due to inertia, but he quickly recovered and shouted, "Watch out, the enemy is..."

The three Stone Ninja had barely heard their captain's shout when they saw a dark shadow flash before their eyes. Two of them had their throats slit open, and the third was pierced through the back of the head with a Kunai. "Sizzle!"

Shuichi activated Flying Thunder God to reach Ishikawa Tatsuki and Kurenai, completing a rapid three-hit combo in mid-air without even directing the direction of the enemy's blood towards his companions. Skilled players who witnessed this detail would likely exclaim how terrifying it was.

"Tap tap!"

The sound of the three corpses falling was almost simultaneous with his landing. After being shocked, Takamura's chakra exploded wildly, and he ran away into the distance without looking back. At the same time, he also created a Shadow Clone. In this critical situation, his strength was somewhat unleashed.

"Not bad, it didn't run in the direction I appeared, where there might be a spell left." Shuichi immediately used Body Flicker Technique to catch up. "Moreover, this Shadow Clone's casting speed is also very fast. Its purpose is to help the main body intercept my Flying Thunder God Kunai, or perhaps to buy time."

Takamura's Shadow Clone stared intently at Shuichi, only to see the latter use the momentum of his forward charge to throw a Kunai, which flew straight up towards his head. This strange behavior left him bewildered. Should he jump up and knock the Kunai away?

After Shuichi unleashed his Body Flicker Technique, he didn't land. Instead, he floated in the air like a ghost, then suddenly flipped over and did a handstand, almost bewildering Takamura.

"Whoosh!" Shuichi, who had teleported above Takamura's head, easily sliced through his scalp with a single wave of his hand, eliminating the Shadow Clone. "Today I'll show you a Flying Heaven Sword Style, just have fun."

Takagi, who was running away, was jolted. Just then, his foot touched the ground. He never expected that his Shadow Clone would be killed so quickly. He lost control of his chakra and staggered.

Shuichi used the thrown Kunai to instantly catch up with Takagi. He was still dressed as a Kusagakure, a middle-aged man with a large nose and a turban. "I am Earth-Colored Flash, and I've come uninvited. Nice to meet you!"
