Mist Village? We're Here to Kill the Mist Village!

Dust!

To be honest, Kyohiko was just saying it casually to create a new persona, to build more foundations for his path to becoming "Hokage," and to see if he could squeeze out some freebies along the way.

but.

Unexpectedly, what I expected didn't happen, but instead, I received a reward from something I never thought possible.

Kyohiko's feelings were complicated.

So, before even taking office, I've already developed the theoretical extensions of the Will of Fire?

like...

That's not bad.

With ideas, there is cohesion.

"White Fang Sword Technique."

Kyohiko looked at the control panel.

[White Fang Sword Technique (Proficient)]

This thing is so hard to upgrade!

It is not simply a knife technique, but a combination of killing skills, surprise attacks, and timing. Simply practicing knife techniques will result in very little progress.

so.

For some time now, even though Kyohiko had honed his swordsmanship, he hadn't gained much insight into killing, and he felt that his White Fang Sword Technique couldn't be improved, so he simply put it aside for the time being.

The rewards they received further confirmed Kyohiko's point of view.

His mind was filled with many techniques and memories related to killing, all of which were excellent skills on how to save energy and Chakra and kill more efficiently.

The difference is that there's one more trick in the proficiency stage --

Iaijutsu.

This is a sword technique frequently used in duels during the Samurai era. Mifune was very skilled at this move, and it is also used in the White Fang Sword Technique.

However, unlike Mifune, Hatake Sakumo did not deliberately hone this move to a high level. Instead, he integrated it into his tactical system to make surprise attacks and assassinations more unexpected.

For example, prepare a short knife specifically for stabbing.

This requires considerable skill in both hands.

As Kyohiko ran, he moved his left and right hands around a few times, but he didn't feel any significant improvement in the dexterity of his hands.

We might need weapons...

"Let's take a break. The exam won't end immediately; let's get our minds back on track."

They're alright, though.

With Kyohiko around, Kai and Kurenai Yuhi expenditure isn't too high.

but.

Yamashiro Aoba and his group were different.

During this rest period, he could also try it out with two Kunai and then draw a conclusion.

Really!

The difference was immediately apparent upon handling the two Kunai.

Previously, although Kyohiko had worked on improving the dexterity of his left hand, it was still significantly less than that of his dominant right hand.

While we can't say they're almost identical now, they're certainly much more flexible than before.

While his left hand's overall strength didn't increase, his dexterity and muscle control improved, resulting in greater power exerted by his left hand.

Rough estimate.

The ability of the left hand is about 90% of that of the right hand.

After resting for a while, everyone set off again towards the summit.

The sounds of battle continued incessantly.

The six of them together made it difficult to conceal their movements, but when they climbed to the vicinity of the mountaintop, they heard a commotion, with countless sounds of battle coming from within.

After receiving the Intelligence Scroll, they were about to enter.

suddenly--

Dozens of Kunai and Shuriken came flying at them.

In an instant, Kyohiko quickly Hand Seals and sprayed water, creating a Water Wall.

here...

It's a complete mess.

Two or three groups of people joined together, each tacitly surrounding the two entrances of the volcano, to rob the small teams that had just entered.

They were attacked by one of these groups.

"Watch out! There are traps below! Lots of Explosive Tag!"

Yamashiro Aoba shouted.

"Scatter! Kill them all!"

Kyohiko called out.

Immediately.

Whoosh!

With a bang, he and Might Guy vanished simultaneously.

The next moment, countless Ninjutsu attacks came from the forest, but Kyohiko split into two, then four, and in the blink of an eye, he had become eight figures rushing forward.

Under his cover, Might Guy actually became less conspicuous.

"They definitely have Clone Technique! Everyone be careful and identify them! Attack together!"

Someone shouted from inside the woods.

The others then quickly sprang into action.

There is a commander.

Kyohiko followed the sound and searched--

Thirty steps to the left.

Kill!

Body Flicker Technique, drawing the sword.

In the blink of an eye, the knife flashed across the man's neck.

Forehead Protector, Mist Village.

Kyohiko did not stop; his figure moved like lightning, dodging and weaving between his several clones, killing several people in the blink of an eye.

joint...

A meaningless alliance will only make them weaker!

The scene instantly descended into chaos following the attack.

but.

This time, it was his and Might Guy's turn to not let those people off the hook.

After a fierce battle, only a few people remained at the entrance, fleeing in panic.

Kyohiko's body was covered in blood, and his face was cold.

Kai was panting heavily.

"Kyohiko, we, we..."

"You go with the others, I'll go alone and hunt down these Mist Village ninja."

Kyohiko's gaze was cold.

The group leading the charge were from Kirigakure).

These hanged men, it wouldn't be a pity to kill them all.

As the Yugito Nii entered the platform on the volcano, an expression of excitement immediately appeared on her face.

Inside the arena, a group of people were being chased and hunted down by a single individual.

but.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the killings were not aimless, but rather a targeted pursuit.

His goal-

Mist Village Ninja.

"Run! Run!"

A person is running this way.

The Forehead Protector seems to be a ninja from Mist Village as well.

The Yugito Nii figures sneered, then Body Flicker Technique forward, leaving a claw mark on the opponent's neck in a flash.

"Yugito?"

"I don't like the people of Kirigakure either. Let's join forces and wipe them all out!"

The Yugito Nii chuckled.

Over the years, the Kumogakure and the Kirigakure have had many clashes at sea, but because the great war had just ended, everyone maintained a tacit understanding and suppressed their own fighting desires.

However.

In the exam room, you don't need to think about these things.

The rules are simple: escort intelligence and fight!

It's perfectly reasonable!

She killed one person and quickly moved on to her next target.

Motoi and Yotsuki Ren had no choice but to follow.

"Do you need help?!"

Hozuki Mangetsu, hiding in the shadows, scanned his surroundings.

Kisame silent.

This guy is amazing!

Unexpectedly...

Besides speed, the opponent's swordsmanship was also incredibly terrifying, almost reminiscent of White Fang's legendary skills.

Although they fought a fierce battle with Kyohiko and the others, both sides suffered losses. On their side, Hozuki Mangetsu was completely Chakra. Although he has recovered, he is no longer considered a strong fighter.

Where is the other party?

On one side, there were clusters of Konoha ninjas, and on the other side, there was the incredibly Kyohiko Yoshimine attempting an assassination.

On the other side, the Kumogakure ninjas were also very fierce, especially targeting them...

Let's find another scroll and go down the mountain to turn in the quest.

Mei Terumi whispered.

She wasn't backing down; she genuinely felt that going out at that moment might make her a target of public criticism.

Judging from the scene, it wasn't the Konoha Ninja who initiated the massacre; rather, it was Kirigakure. Many ninjas from smaller villages died from Mist Village's swordsmanship.

Furthermore, the volcano still retained the Chakra aura of the Hidden Mist Technique, indicating that the ambush had failed and the attacker had chased after them.

"Then let's wait a little longer."

but.

After a period of chaos, the people on the volcano had mostly cleared the area.

There are still...

One, two, three, three teams.

Two Konoha squads and one Kumogakure squad were killed, while the rest either secretly took the scrolls and ran away, not daring to linger up there any longer.

certainly.

The latter accounts for the majority.

The three huddled in the corner, their eyes gradually regaining their light, feeling that they could manage.

It seems like the Konoha and the Kumogakure Village are about to start fighting!

Looks like there's a chance to snag a bargain!

At this moment, down the mountain.

"Something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!"

"What's wrong?"

"The Hidden Kirigakure is hunting down examinees from other ninja villages; many ninja from smaller villages have been killed."

"What!"

A moment later.

"Something terrible has happened!"

What's going on?

"The ninjas of Kirigakure are almost all wiped out!"
