The Best Infiltration Is Unparalleled

Qingye, after taking Nohara Rin with them, continued to advance towards Kannabi Bridge.

The journey was uneventful.

This is how it should be!

With Hyuga Himon's Byakugan scouting ahead, as long as they didn't have the misfortune of running into a particularly talented Sensory Ninja who could detect the Byakugan's scan, it was basically impossible for them to be discovered.

Like before, first running into the Ino-Shika-Cho squad and being pursued, then encountering Nohara Rin being captured by an Iwagakure Jonin – that was truly rare!

Indeed, after the bad luck passed, everything that followed went smoothly.

"There's less than ten miles left."

Hyuga Himon stopped, pushing the Byakugan's long-distance vision to its limit.

He could almost see the water vapor drifting above the great river in the distance!

And on the road ahead, there was only one last Iwagakure Ninja outpost remaining.

"There aren't many people here, less than ten, and no strong Chakra reactions."

Hyuga Himon observed carefully, then confirmed that no traps had been set inside or outside the outpost.

Afterward, the three of them looked at Qingye together.

What should we do next?

Shh!

Qingye didn't say a word, and his figure instantly disappeared, leaving only a blurry afterimage in the air as he drifted into the outpost ahead.

Not a single gasp or scream was heard.

In less than half a minute, Qingye walked out from the front entrance of the outpost again and beckoned to Yūhi Kurenai and the other two.

"Th-this is it?"

Nohara Rin stammered.

Even though there were less than ten people, and likely no Jonin.

But this efficiency was too high?!

Yūhi Kurenai and Hyuga Himon, long accustomed to this, relaxed their minds, completely unconcerned about potential danger ahead, and walked over to meet Qingye.

"Himon, you rest and recover your Chakra as quickly as possible."

"I've temporarily controlled those people with Genjutsu. Kurenai, you'll come with me to interrogate them for intel."

Hyuga Himon immediately found a spot to sit and rest, took out a soldier's ration pill, and began to recover his Chakra.

He had frequently activated his Byakugan for scouting on the way here, and his Chakra was now more than half depleted.

Yūhi Kurenai, after each taking responsibility for a few of the captured ninjas, began the interrogation together with Qingye.

Nohara Rin, who followed a step behind, walked over and looked at the scene, feeling helpless.

It seems they don't need me anymore?

Is Qingye's team this coordinated?

On the other hand, in my own team, it's already considered good coordination if Kakashi and Obito don't argue every day...

About ten minutes passed.

Qingye and Yūhi Kurenai finished their interrogations.

They also took the opportunity to give a peaceful death to the Iwagakure Ninja still under Genjutsu.

"There are at least a hundred Iwagakure Ninja at Kannabi Bridge ahead, with at least two Jonin among them."

"As for the Iwagakure Ninja on the left and right flanks, they've basically all gone to attack the main battlefield, so they shouldn't send many reinforcements."

"However, there might be Iwagakure Ninja reinforcements escorting supplies on the other side of Kannabi Bridge."

Qingye and Yūhi Kurenai summarized the intel.

Nohara Rin's breathing quickened after listening: "What are we going to do?"

There are so many of them here?

Even if we can infiltrate and blow up Kannabi Bridge at the fastest speed, escaping afterward will probably be difficult.

Meanwhile, Hyuga Himon's Chakra had recovered more than half. He thought for a moment and suggested, "Should I make two Shadow Clones to lure away some enemies?"

Qingye, as the main combatant, couldn't afford to waste Chakra.

Yūhi Kurenai, on the other hand, lacked sufficient Chakra, and hadn't yet mastered the Shadow Clone Jutsu.

"I haven't learned Shadow Clone..."

Nohara Rin said softly, feeling increasingly helpless.

I want to be useful too.

Qingye, however, directly shook his head: "No, it's just two Shadow Clones, how many people can they lure away? It would just be a waste of Himon's Chakra."

We've already reached Kannabi Bridge.

There's no need to sneak in any further!

The previous infiltration was to avoid attracting too many Iwagakure Ninja, which would have been quite a hassle for me.

But now...

I'll just blast my way through!

As everyone knows, unparalleled mowing down is the best infiltration!

"Isn't that too risky?"

Hearing Qingye's plan, Yūhi Kurenai's breath hitched, her face filled with worry.

Even though Qingye is very strong, he shouldn't take such a risk!

"Should we set off a signal flare here to attract the Iwagakure Ninja ahead to come to our rescue?"

Hyuga Himon suggested again.

No matter what, letting Qingye go in alone to fight his way through is too ridiculous!

Qingye directly rejected it:

"This will most likely draw reinforcements from other directions, and not many people will come from Kannabi Bridge."

"Alright, enough nonsense! We'll do as I say, finish bombing the bridge as quickly as possible, and then retreat immediately!"

Yūhi Kurenai and Hyuga Himon could only reluctantly agree.

For the remaining short distance, the two of them no longer had the ease they had before, and their hearts began to pound.

They occasionally reached for their ninja tool pouches, and only by feeling the abundance of Explosive Tags within could they calm down slightly.

After walking for a short while, Kannabi Bridge was already within sight.

Before they could even rush out of the forest, shouts came from ahead:

"Who's there?! Get out!"

Sensory Ninja are such a pain!

Qingye cursed inwardly.

"You two, protect yourselves."

"Himon, also keep an eye out for anyone trying to ambush us from below!"

With that said, Qingye leaped directly from a giant tree dozens of meters high, simultaneously calling out to the system in his mind.

"System, postpone loan repayment!"

[Chakra restriction has been lifted.]

Along with the system's cold electronic voice, Qingye's suppressed physical and mental energy instantly recovered. The emptiness of his chakra being more than half depleted disappeared, and his chakra capacity surged from one card to ten cards!

Feeling the immense power within him, Qingye, still in mid-air, had already completed his hand seals. He puffed out his chest:

"Fire Style: Majestic Fire Annihilation!"

A torrent of flames swept towards the Iwagakure Ninja camp ahead.

The Iwagakure Sensory Ninja who had just spoken was the first to perish in the sea of fire. The widespread flames engulfed the Iwagakure tents on this side of Kannabi Bridge entirely!

"Enemy attack!"

"Call for reinforcements!"

"Organize a defense quickly!"

With a large-scale attack right from the start, all the Iwagakure Ninja were alerted. Soon, earthen walls rose one after another.

It was currently September in Konoha year 46, and the heat of summer had yet to dissipate. The surging flames collided with the rising water vapor above the great river ahead, instantly bringing the air in the area to a terrifyingly unbearable temperature!

"Damn it, with this level of Fire Style, who could it be?"

The Iwagakure Ninja cursed from behind their earthen walls.

Suddenly, with a crack!

The earthen wall shattered!

Before they could even react, a ferocious fire dragon had directly shattered the earthen wall. The fire dragon's ferocious face was reflected in the eyes of the Iwagakure Ninja at the forefront, becoming the last image before their consciousness faded.

Swish swish—

The sound of paper fluttering was faint amidst the noisy battlefield.

But upon seeing at least three-digit numbers of Explosive Tags, now ignited, flying through the air, every Iwagakure Ninja's expression changed drastically.

Rumble!

Continuous explosions engulfed the entire Iwagakure Ninja camp.
