"Watch out for traps." After leaping barely a hundred meters through the forest, Yueguang Xingye hurriedly stopped Yueguang Han.

Under the sunlight, several glints flashed between the trees ahead and caught Yueguang Xingye's eye. They were steel wires used to set traps, stretched across the branches. They would have been even harder to spot at night.

Those damned Sand Shinobi! Yueguang Han remained silent, cursing inwardly. Relying on his Electronic Eye, he had spotted those steel wires as well—earlier, more clearly, and in greater numbers than Yueguang Xingye.

The steel wires ahead were everywhere like a spiderweb, so there had to be plenty of traps. There would definitely be even more traps behind them. Unless they dropped to the ground, it would be difficult to get through in a short time. But if they landed, those Sand Shinobi hiding underground would never miss such an opportunity. They must have already devised a way to launch another sneak attack and would not easily give him the chance to kill them.

If he had been alone, he could have simply charged through. These traps could not do much damage to him, and he could repair himself, so he had no fear of them. But Yueguang Xingye and the other two were beside him now. There were abilities he could not let them know about yet. They would attract too much envy, and even a Bloodline Limit could not explain them.

"Young Han, are we still going to keep charging ahead like this? The closer we get to the Sand Shinobi outpost, the more traps there'll be. There are also many Sand Shinobi underground nearby, watching us like tigers." Seeing Yueguang Han remain silent, Yueguang Xingye asked. Once he learned that Yueguang Han's true goal was to kill Sand Shinobi, he understood that words alone could not persuade him. Yueguang Han had to be made to face reality. This was the best opportunity.

"We'll continue, but we don't have time to slowly avoid these traps. From here on, I'll have to trouble Uncle Xingye and the others to use ninjutsu to clear a path. Destroy the traps with brute force. I'll guard against the Sand Shinobi underground." After thinking for a moment, Yueguang Han spoke. As long as they got through this stretch, he could use his trump card.

"But if we do that, by the time we charge into the Sand Shinobi outpost, our Chakra will be almost completely exhausted." Yueguang Xingye frowned. He still refuses to give up.

"As long as I can charge into their outpost, we've won. Our companions on the mountain will also rush down to support us quickly," Yueguang Han said.

"Fine! Long, conserve your Chakra." Yueguang Xingye gritted his teeth. After giving the order, his hands rapidly formed seals.

Fire Style: Flame Bullet! A second later, Yueguang Shiye was the first to use ninjutsu, spewing a huge fireball three meters in diameter toward the forest ahead.

Wind Style: Great Breakthrough! After Yueguang Shiye launched the fireball, a violent gale also blew from Yueguang Xingye's mouth. Compared to the fireball spat out by Yueguang Shiye, who was only a Chunin, the gale unleashed by Yueguang Xingye, a Jonin, was undoubtedly far more powerful. It was even mixed with blades of wind.

"Whoosh!" The gale caught up to the burning fireball from behind, instantly feeding the flames. The fireball, originally only three meters wide, expanded wildly, and its flames surged even more fiercely. Within moments, it covered dozens of meters of forest ahead.

"Rumble...!" Amid the blazing inferno, explosions rang out one after another, while countless kunai and arrows shot in every direction. The flames had detonated the Explosive Tags within the traps, and the chain of explosions destroyed the traps inside. (There really were arrows; they appeared on the battlefield in Itachi's flashback arc.)

"Rat-a-tat-tat!"

The Light Machine Gun fired short bursts in succession as Yueguang Han shot down every kunai that happened to fly toward him.

"Let's go. Hurry." After the explosions and flying kunai within the sea of fire ceased, Yueguang Han spoke and took the lead in charging into the still-burning flames.

"Keep up quickly." Seeing this, Yueguang Xingye and the other two could only hurry after him.

Underground, seeing Yueguang Han's group of four charge toward the outpost in the valley again, the Earth Walk-using Sand Shinobi grew increasingly anxious. They could only pray that their companion who had gone back to report would be faster. Otherwise, once that Konoha youngster charged into the outpost, without Earth Style ninja to protect it, the casualties would likely be severe.

However, as long as that Konoha youngster did not land, they did not dare emerge rashly. Otherwise, they might be killed by him before they even broke through the ground. Even if they surfaced, they would absolutely have no chance to burrow back underground.

"Rumble...!" Violent explosions rang continuously through the forest. Kunai, arrows, and wood chips flew everywhere, while the sea of flames consuming the forest continued to expand.

Under Yueguang Xingye and Yueguang Shiye's near full-force destructive assault, large stretches of forest along the direct route to the Sand Shinobi outpost in the valley caught fire. Nearly half the traps inside were destroyed, and thick smoke rose from the flames, almost obscuring half the mountainside.

"Young Han, we're about to reach one hundred and fifty meters." Amid the blazing forest, Yueguang Xingye leaped across burning tree trunks as he spoke to Yueguang Han. Yueguang Han's idea was truly terrible—far too reckless. The blisters scalded onto his feet said enough about how he felt. Unfortunately, landing on the ground would make them easy targets for the Earth Walk-using Sand Shinobi. He could still tell the difference between pain and death.

"Uncle Xingye, use Wind Style to blow me higher in a moment. Uncle Shiye, Uncle Long, use Earth Run to help guard against the Sand Shinobi. After that, protect yourselves. Leave the rest to me! Watch my trump card carefully!" Yueguang Han smiled confidently. Once they rushed out of the burning forest and entered the forest that had yet to catch fire, he immediately pushed off with both legs and leaped forcefully into the air above the trees.

What a reckless brat. This time, I'm really going crazy with you. Still, I am curious what kind of great trump card you have. Yueguang Xingye lamented inwardly. Enduring the pain, he stood atop a tree trunk and rapidly formed seals. A fierce gale blew upward from below Yueguang Han, sending him even higher.

Yueguang Long and Yueguang Shiye formed the seals for Lightning Release: Earth Run together, then released it directly toward the ground beneath them. Blue lightning shot from Yueguang Shiye and Yueguang Long's hands, spreading rapidly after striking the ground. This time, both of them went all out, their Chakra draining wildly as Earth Run covered dozens of meters around them. Their task was to stop the Sand Shinobi from emerging to attack Yueguang Han.

Flying Thunder God Cannon Template. After Yueguang Xingye's assistance sent him higher into the sky, Yueguang Han immediately stretched his arms straight out and pressed them together. With a silent thought, his hands instantly transformed. His arms lengthened and widened, finally becoming a gasoline barrel 1.2 meters long and sixty centimeters in diameter.

(The Flying Thunder God Cannon, also known as the Heartless Cannon, used an empty gasoline barrel as its main body and a ten-kilogram Explosive Package as ammunition. Its range was 150 to 200 meters, and its immense power could even kill people near the blast through the shockwave. Manifesting the ammunition cost 5 Energy Points per kilogram.)

An opportunity! Seeing Yueguang Han fly into the sky and begin using some potentially devastating ninjutsu, leaving him unable to pay attention to them, the Earth Walk-using Sand Shinobi seized this rare chance as well. Although they had seen through the Earth Mole Technique that Yueguang Shiye and Yueguang Long's Lightning Release: Earth Run had struck the ground, they still emerged without hesitation.

Whether it was to kill Yueguang Han or stop his potentially terrifying technique from falling into the outpost, the Sand Shinobi all burst from underground. They planned to endure Lightning Release: Earth Run and attack Yueguang Han together while he was suspended in midair with nowhere to brace himself.

"Thump!"

A dull boom sounded in the sky. The Flying Thunder God Cannon formed from Yueguang Han's hands spewed a great deal of fire, and a round object shot out from it, hurtling toward the Sand Shinobi outpost in the valley at a hundred meters per second. Yueguang Han's attack was clearly much faster than ninjutsu that required hand seals.

The enormous recoil of the Flying Thunder God Cannon sent Yueguang Han flying more than ten meters backward through the air.
