Easily Resolved

"Hmm? This position? Looks like this team is a bit timid!" Shuichi thought their team's luck wasn't great, but who knew they'd soon get a pleasant surprise.

Their route looked like an arc; if viewed on a map of the Forest of Death, it would start from the right side of the map and then follow a parabola downwards.

Shuichi originally planned to turn around immediately, because based on the normal travel speed, most teams wouldn't be that close to the edge, and logically speaking, there shouldn't be anyone there.

"Let's move closer. This group shouldn't be too strong. We'll figure out an attack strategy when we're closer." Shuichi n't careless and told the other two to slow down a bit.

The three men kept changing their position from several hundred meters away, slowly approaching the group, while the other side remained completely unaware.

Shuichi now understands what it feels like to have teammates who Byakugan at you on the battlefield.

This kind of reconnaissance method, which is like having X-ray vision, is so satisfying. When your side is strong, you can choose to launch a surprise attack at will.

Furthermore, the Byakugan can roughly judge the strength of an opponent based on their chakra level and intensity, allowing for early retreat when encountering a powerful enemy.

"They're moving very slowly; they're not even using chakra to travel." After getting closer, Hyuga Akiha reported the enemy's situation to Shuichi again.

"Okay, let's move a little closer and watch out for potential traps nearby."

As it turned out, Shuichi; they had easily closed the distance to the team, with the two sides within two hundred meters of each other.

"I see him!" As they drew closer, Hyuga Akiha's perception grew stronger. "That figure must be from Kusagakure."

"Kusagakure?" Shuichi thought of the Kusagakure teacher who had mocked him during the first exam.

"Captain, since it's them, let's just take action!"

Sarutobi Kohei spent two months with Shuichi and greatly admired his abilities. He was also furious when he saw others mocking his captain, but he refrained from taking action due to the rules of ninjas.

Now that we've encountered the people from Kusagakure right away, let's teach them that some actions come at a price.

"Alright, let's use Plan A then. We'll surround them and then attack together."

The Shuichi's squad was none other than Hirama and his group. As the saying goes, man proposes, God disposes. Hirama had considered things quite thoroughly, but unfortunately, the Chunin Ninja Exams included Kekkei Genkai like the Byakugan, which happened to be located at the edge of their field of vision.

At this point, they were still moving forward at their own pace, completely unaware that they were in deep trouble and that their opponents had seen right through them.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." As they were walking, a large number of ninja tools suddenly appeared on the side of the Kusagakure squad.

"Enemies ahead! Be careful!" Hirama reacted quickly. Although the group felt relatively safe, they did not let their guard down.

Before he could finish speaking, he jumped to the side first, leaving his two teammates to fend for themselves.

Although his two teammates reacted a step too slowly, their response was still quite correct. Seeing a large number of Shuriken towards them, they first jumped to the sides with all their might, then immediately covered their heads with their hands, curled up, and rolled over.

"Whoosh!" They didn't completely dodge the attack; several Shuriken grazed their arms and thighs, injuring them right at the start.

The attackers gave them no chance to catch their breath. One of the Genin hadn't even fully stood up when he quickly heard the sound of fists and kicks coming from his side.

Shuichi arrived at his side with lightning speed, landing a hook punch on his left cheek, followed immediately by a flying kick to his stomach.

While the Kusagakure Genin was still flying backwards, and Hirama had just regained his footing, Sarutobi Kohei was already right in front of him.

"Clang! Clang!..." Both sides drew their Kunai and began a fierce battle, the sounds of metal clashing echoing continuously.

As the top genin Genin Kusagakure, Hirama possessed exceptional physical abilities. Hirama, being a few years older than Sarutobi Kohei, he managed to fight to a draw for a short period, even gaining a slight advantage.

He knew that the third member of the enemy squad had not yet appeared, so he dared not go all out and kept a close watch on his surroundings.

"Whoosh!" Suddenly, he heard the sound of wind behind him, the sound of a ninja moving quickly.

Hirama remained calm. He had already guessed that the third person would make a move. Judging from the height of his opponent, he would have a physical advantage even in close combat.

So he quickly threw three Senbon at Sarutobi Kohei, then moved to the side, hoping to escape being caught in a pincer movement.

Hyuga Akiha didn't let this opportunity pass. She stomped her feet hard on the ground, and "crack!" The sound of tree branches bursting on the ground echoed in the arena.

"So fast!" Hirama had only turned halfway around when he caught a glimpse of a figure very close to him out of the corner of his eye.

"Clap, clap, clap..." Hyuga Akiha and unleashed Gentle Fist, striking Hirama with an extremely high attack frequency.

The first palm strike was blocked by an arm, but as Hirama twisted his body, the second palm Teuchi his shoulder, the powerful force causing him to briefly lose his balance.

"Gentle Fist Style: Eight Trigrams Sixteen Palms!" Hyuga Akiha's hands formed a sword-like shape, and under his skilled Gentle Fist, steel needle-like chakra burst forth from his fingers.

"Tap tap tap tap tap..."

"Ah! My chakra..." In less than a few seconds, Hirama's upper body had been completely hit by the Eight Trigrams Palms, and he felt that his chakra could no longer flow.

He coughed up blood, stumbled backward and crashed into a tree. Realizing what had happened, he immediately shouted, "We'll give you the Scroll, please let us go!"

"Is it resolved?"

By the Hyuga Akiha finished using the Eight Trigrams Sixteen Palms, Shuichi had already easily dealt with the remaining Kusagakure Genin; the opponent's Taijutsu was practically like slow motion in his eyes.

He grabbed the two men with both hands and threw them next to Hirama. "Ah..." The two Genin cried out in pain. They felt as if Shuichi had broken their ribs, and now their bodies were filled with excruciating pain.

"Cough cough, I'll give you the Scroll right away." Hirama still coughing up blood, but his hands moved quickly, as if he was very worried that the squad in front of him would take their lives.

Shuichi took the "Earth" Scroll from him, not caring that the Scroll was the same as the one in his team; Hyuga Akiha Byakugan had already noticed this information with his Byakugan.

After seeing the other party hand over the Scroll, Sarutobi Kohei asked Shuichi about his plans, "What's next? Should we kill them, Captain?"

"No! We're no threat at all now, please don't kill us!" Hirama hearing this, Heima immediately begged for mercy with a panicked expression.

The two Genin pain all over their bodies; instead, they trembled slightly as if they had caught a chill.
