"How is that possible!"

Looking at the katana in his hand, cracking inch by inch, Lan Xiangrong's face was full of disbelief, and then he turned his angry gaze to Uchiha Yue.

Clearly, Lan Xiangrong never expected that the katana in his hand would ultimately be destroyed by a Genin.

However, when Uchiha Yue saw that Lan Xiangrong had been Onitetsu by his own Kitetsu, a look of joy suddenly appeared in his eyes. Undoubtedly, Uchiha Yue was extremely satisfied with the effect of his attack, and even more pleased with the power of his newly comprehended Sword Intent. Without the Sword Intent he had accumulated beforehand, Uchiha Yue's attack could not have destroyed Lan Xiangrong's katana, nor could he have gained the upper hand in the battle against the Jonin.

However, Uchiha Yue knew very well that a Jonin like Lan Xiangrong was not someone he could easily defeat.

Sure enough, the moment Lan Xiangrong shattered, her attack reached Uchiha Yue. However, Uchiha Yue had already used her Purple Eye between her eyebrows to observe Lan Xiangrong's movements. Just as Lan Xiangrong to launch a counterattack, Uchiha Yue formed a hand Hand Seals and vanished from Uchiha Yue Lan Xiangrong's sight.

"Falling Moon Style: Afterimage Fist!"

"Xiang Rong had never fought Uchiha Yue before, so naturally he couldn't possibly know the secrets of the Falling Moon Style: Afterimage Fist. Therefore, just as Lan Xiangrong attacked and reached Uchiha Yue, he unexpectedly only hit Uchiha Yue's afterimage. As for Uchiha Yue's real body, it had already arrived behind Lan Xiangrong when he used the Falling Moon Style: Afterimage Fist!"

Moreover, at this moment, Uchiha Yue's left index and middle fingers were joined together, brimming with dense chakra. Combined with his Purple Eye that could perceive the enemy's meridians, Uchiha Yue was now like Hyuga Clan ninja, able to immobilize his opponent's meridians and prevent Lan Xiangrong from using chakra. However, Lan Xiangrong, who possessed Uchiha Yue -level strength, sensed Uchiha Yue's attack intentions just as he was about to strike.

Seeing that even the Genin in front of him possessed such strength, Lan Xiangrong had no intention of continuing the fight with Uchiha Yue.

After all, there were several powerful Jonin hiding behind Uchiha Yue, Lan Xiangrong knew that she could not gain the upper hand in the battle!

Immediately afterwards...

Just as Uchiha Yue attacked with the Falling Moon Style: Sunflower Pointing Hand Technique, Lan Xiangrong hand Hand Seals and used a Substitution Technique to dodge Uchiha Yue's powerful attack. However, just as Lan Xiangrong was about to escape again, Hatake Kakashi appeared right in front of Lan Xiangrong. Hatake Kakashi, wielding the White Fang Blade, his eyes filled with burning fighting spirit, used his sharp Hatake Sword Style to close the distance to Lan Xiangrong, and they actually became entangled in combat!

Are all the Genin of Konoha freaks?

Looking at Hatake Kakashi blocking his way, Lan Xiangrong a bitter taste in his mouth. He even regretted provoking these Konoha ninjas.

However, as a Jonin, Lan Xiangrong naturally possesses the dignity befitting a Jonin.

Staring intently at Hatake Kakashi before him, Lan Xiangrong's eyes suddenly flashed with intense killing intent. He then wanted to kill Hatake Kakashi and escape. Unfortunately, Hatake Kakashi had improved rapidly during this time, and his Hatake Sword Style had inherited his father's style. Lan Xiangrong not be able to defeat Hatake Kakashi in a short period of time.

However, just as Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi were trapped in the disguise of Xiang Rong, Hyuga Anya unexpectedly appeared in front of Lan Xiangrong.

Furthermore, upon discovering that both Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi had dealt with Lan Xiangrong, Hyuga Anya felt a surge of competitive spirit, wanting to use her own strength to defeat Lan Xiangrong, who possessed Jonin-level strength. However, Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi's Hatake Kakashi to defeat Lan Xiangrong wasn't due to their combined strength to overcome a Jonin-level ninja; rather, it was because Uchiha Yue were well aware of their own abilities and had no intention of defeating Lan Xiangrong, but rather of engaging him in prolonged combat.

However, Hyuga Anya didn't realize this at the beginning, so she inevitably suffered losses when dealing with Lan Xiangrong. Activating the Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan, Hyuga Anya discerned the meridians and acupoints within Lan Xiangrong's body, and then prepared to attack using the Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist. Moreover, because Hyuga Anya joined the battle too hastily, Hatake Kakashi failed to coordinate well with Hyuga Anya, leaving Hyuga Anya to face Lan Xiangrong, a Jonin-level ninja, alone!

"Not good!"

Hyuga Hiashi, who was far away, noticed Hyuga Anya's shortcomings the moment Hyuga Anya joined the battle.

Seeing that Lan Xiangrong was about to engage in a one-on-one battle with Hyuga Anya, Hyuga Hiashi rushed anxiously towards Lan Xiangrong, but unfortunately, he was still a bit too slow. Then, Lan Xiangrong, looking at Hyuga Anya front of him, directly pulled a Kunai from his ninja tool pouch. Giving Hyuga Anya no chance to get close, Lan Xiangrong simply used the Kunai in his hand to block Hyuga Anya's attack, and even deeply embedded the Kunai into Hyuga Anya's chest!

At this moment, Hyuga Anya was severely injured by Lan Xiangrong naturally had no ability to stop him.

Furthermore, due to the Hyuga Anya, both Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi were unable to stop Lan Xiangrong for the time being, and could only watch helplessly as Lan Xiangrong escaped from their sight. Moreover, Uchiha Yue Hatake Kakashi Hatake Kakashi not capable of pursuing Lan Xiangrong, as they were well aware that they lacked the strength to confront Lan Xiangrong directly and could only manage to hold him off for a short time.

Afterwards, Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi watched helplessly as Lan Xiangrong escaped, and naturally they couldn't help but feel some resentment towards Hyuga Anya.

If it weren't for Hyuga Anya disrupting their battle rhythm, Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi were even confident they could have Lan Xiangrong!

Then, ignoring the severely injured Hyuga Anya, Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi returned to Minato Namikaze's side. At the same time, seeing that Lan Xiangrong had been defeated, the refugees, also unable to resist, scattered and fled. Then, Kushina Uzumaki, looking at the defeated Lan Xiangrong and the scattered refugees, smiled and said to Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi, "Yue, Kakashi, you both did a very good job."

"Yes, Tsuki-kun and Kakashi did a very good job."

Hearing Kushina Uzumaki's words, Minato Namikaze nodded in agreement, saying, "Kakashi, the two of you working together to repel a Jonin-level ninja is truly beyond my expectations. However, your ability to repel that Jonin was largely due to Hiashi's earlier intimidation. Therefore, you must not become arrogant just because you repelled a Jonin. You are still far from being Jonin-level; you need to train even harder, understand?"

Then, Minato Namikaze's gaze shifted to Kushina Uzumaki, and he continued, "Kushina, go and bring back that Jonin who just escaped."

"I have a feeling... his attack on our caravan wasn't just for a simple reason!"
