Yoshihime Kidnapped

Qingyun then threw a kunai at One-Eyed Dragon, but the kunai were blown to the sides by the influence of Wind Style.

Seeing that massive high-pressure sphere about to smash into him, Qingyun vanished with a whoosh at that very moment.

Indeed, Qingyun had long since left chakra seals on those kunai, allowing him to dodge the Wind Style: Pressure Damage with ease.

Without a moment's hesitation, Qingyun fired the kunai in his hand directly at One-Eyed Dragon, aiming perfectly for a headshot.

"Ridiculous!" One-Eyed Dragon immediately ducked his head, dodging the kunai Qingyun had thrown.

At this critical juncture, Qingyun used the Flying Thunder God once more, appearing directly above One-Eyed Dragon.

Qingyun rotated his body, the lightning energy of the Goro Goro no Mi already gathering in his hand, while simultaneously, Tsunade's Chakra Enhanced Strength and Armament Haki were fully condensed into that same arm.

"Armament Haki, Chakra Enhanced Strength, Goro Goro no Mi, Flying Thunder God Fist!" Before Qingyun could even finish naming his technique, he slammed it down heavily.

The fist, fused with lightning, raw power, and Armament Haki, crashed violently into One-Eyed Dragon's head.

White Fang was shocked: "So that's how it is, so that's how it is. Could this move be the Flying Thunder God Technique of the Second Hokage, Tobirama!? To think this kid has even mastered space-time ninjutsu!"

"The Flying Thunder God Technique?!" Minato Namikaze's eyes shone; he was a Wind attribute user, and he felt that if he could learn this Flying Thunder God technique, his own strength would see a linear increase.

"I never expected Qingyun to have learned this move!" Yoshihime was also stunned, as this technique had been left behind by her ancestor, Tobirama.

By now, the bandit known as One-Eyed Dragon had been reduced to a pulp of flesh, and the remaining bandits had all been wiped out by Qingyun without a single survivor.

"What a clean and efficient battle!" White Fang couldn't help but remark.

In this battle, the caravan suffered no casualties; Minato and Yoshihime were responsible for protecting the caravan, while Qingyun was responsible for the direct extermination of the bandits.

Looking at the corpses on the ground—bandits who had been lively and vicious just moments ago, now reduced to a pile of dead bodies—Qingyun's strength shocked everyone in the caravan.

White Fang looked at Qingyun, lost in thought.

"Qingyun, you performed very well, but remember that there is always someone better, and there is always a heaven beyond the heaven. If you ever encounter someone stronger than you, you will suffer a great loss," White Fang warned, though he said nothing more, as Qingyun's performance had been impeccable.

"Minato and Yoshihime, since you lack Qingyun's ability to wipe out enemies in an instant, you must be clear about your mission: to protect the caravan and escort the cargo."

"As for the result, you performed very well!" Even the stern teacher White Fang was very satisfied with everyone's performance.

These children not only have astonishing talent but also very clear thinking; their future potential will definitely be no less than that of a Kage-level powerhouse! White Fang thought, secretly pleased.

"I am sorry, ninja lords, it is all my fault." The leader of the caravan couldn't help but apologize to Qingyun and the others.

White Fang waved his hand and said, "Forget it. Since you entrusted us with the task, we naturally have to do what needs to be done."

"Indeed, but it is clear that these people frequently rob and plunder here, so even if we weren't resting here, we would still have been targeted by them while passing through."

According to Murphy's Law, if there is a possibility that something bad will happen, it will happen sooner or later.

"Regardless, thank you all." After the caravan leader finished apologizing, he seemed to have learned his lesson, and throughout the rest of the escort, he never issued any foolish commands again.

"Congratulations to the host! Points obtained! Congratulations to the host! Points obtained!" In truth, Qingyun wasn't that obsessed with eradicating evil; the reason he had finished off so many bandits was simply because he gained points every time he took one down.

Although his current points weren't enough to grant him a chance at a lucky draw, they had still increased significantly.

The rest of the journey saw no more raiding bandits or mountain thieves, and soon, Qingyun and the others completed this C-rank mission.

However, it was already quite late, so everyone decided to take a good rest in the Land of Hot Water before leaving.

The Land of Hot Water was located in the north of the Land of Fire; it was a small country, most famous for its hot springs.

In Japanese, "Yu" (Hot Water) represents hot springs, so the Land of Hot Water was a tourist destination where all visitors would soak in the springs to relieve the exhaustion of the day.

Since the mission was completed, and completed well, White Fang agreed to go to the hot springs with Qingyun and Minato.

Of course, the hot springs here were not co-ed; there were separate baths for men and women.

Qingyun soaked comfortably in the men's hot spring with Minato and White Fang.

The surrounding mist and the comfortable temperature of the spring made Qingyun almost think he was in a paradise on earth.

However, because the men and women were separated, Qingyun and the others could not see Yoshihime for the time being.

But soon, an unexpected incident occurred, and at that very moment, a very sharp female voice rang out.

"Ah!!!"

"What's the situation!?" Qingyun looked at Minato, Minato looked at Qingyun, and White Fang said, "Quick! Get dressed! Let's see what happened."

At this moment, no one had any malicious intent.

After getting dressed and arriving at the entrance of the hot springs, the area was already crowded with people.

"What happened?" White Fang asked.

"That girl with purple hair was kidnapped!" everyone said.

"Purple hair!?"

It was clear that Yoshihime had been kidnapped, and the reason for kidnapping her was likely due to her Senju clan bloodline.

Could it be Uchiha Madara? Wanting to use the Senju bloodline? Or is there someone else with ulterior motives? Qingyun couldn't figure it out.

"Which direction did they go?" Minato asked anxiously.

"That way!" A witness pointed, and White Fang immediately led Qingyun and Minato as they rushed in that direction.

"Summoning Jutsu!" White Fang bit his finger directly and summoned a pack of dogs. The dogs sniffed the air and immediately caught the scent of Yoshihime.

"This way!" White Fang followed the pack of ninja hounds, while Qingyun and Minato followed close behind him.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, White Fang finally caught up to Yoshihime, who was lying on a rock in the middle of a waterfall.

White Fang rushed over and snatched Yoshihime back, while Qingyun covered her with his clothes.

"Ha! Konoha's White Fang, is it? I never expected you would actually lead your subordinates here to carry out a mission."

"If I'm not mistaken, these three subordinates of yours are all geniuses of Konoha, right? If I were to destroy these three geniuses and then capture you, Konoha's strength would surely plummet, wouldn't it?"
