Bang! Bang! Bang!

However, this is the worst-case scenario, because Chakra level is not the same as combat power; it is only one important factor. Therefore, the opponent may not have two Jonin. However, Shiro and his group dare not gamble on this.

Therefore, their plan was based on the worst-case scenario.

And so, in the days that followed, they all adjusted their condition for the battle, preparing to face the enemy in the best possible way.

Meanwhile, Shiro was also preparing the tools for Shikaki. He planned to see if there was any way to lighten Shikaki's burden, and at the same time, he also needed to talk to Manda.

After all, he wasn't familiar with Manda. It wouldn't be a problem if he summoned it himself, since he was a contractor of Ryūchi Cave. But if he asked Shikaki to summon it, he had to explain first.

Otherwise, he might very well have devoured Shikaki first.

However, this matter is not urgent. We need to go to Ryūchi Cave to inform Manda. Manda is not so easy to talk to. Shiro needs to sort things out first and see if we can optimize it to reduce Shikaki's burden.

Unfortunately, Shiro is not a genius, and his knowledge has not yet reached that level. In such a short time, he cannot change anything.

Ultimately, he gave up and turned to preparing other things, which was a relatively important step in this plan.

Five days later, the ministers had finished their talks, and Shiro and his group were ready. So, on that morning, Shiro and his group set off.

Meanwhile, in a corner unknown to Shiro and the others, three people were looking at a map.

"They've set off. How are your preparations going?" the leader in the middle asked.

"Don't worry, it's all arranged. We'll separate those two brats directly, and they won't have a chance to use that Ninjutsu," said a Jonin to his left.

"That's good. The losses on this mission were quite significant. Those two brats' Ninjutsu was too difficult to deal with."

Actually, they initially considered taking down Shiro and his group directly, but during the initial probing, the strength displayed by Shiro and Shikaki frightened them.

Attacks of that magnitude would mean certain death for them, with no other outcome. That's why they chose to constantly harass Shiro and his group in order to gather sufficient intelligence.

Therefore, they paid a high price to obtain this intelligence, but as long as the mission is accomplished, it will all be worth it!

"Yukikawa, why don't we continue to disguise ourselves as Sunagakure and leave one alive to go back and report?" said the ninja who had attacked Shiro and his group disguised as Sunagakure that day.

"Don't even think about it, it's impossible. You're alright, but I know quite a few people with my fighting style, I can't hide it anymore, and it might even cause trouble for the village. Let's just kill them all and be done with it. Let's go, it's time to set off."

"Yes, sir."

Then, they headed towards the designated location.

Meanwhile, Shiro and his group were also rushing back, remaining highly vigilant about their surroundings. In this way, Shiro and his group slowly approached the ambush location set up by Yukikawa and the others.

However, Yukikawa and his group's plan did not go perfectly, because Shiro and his team's reconnaissance capabilities were unusually strong.

At this point, Yukikawa knew perfectly well that their ambush plan was doomed to fail, even though Shiro and the others were now only a short distance from the ambush site.

However, given their level of reconnaissance, an ambush was pointless. Therefore, he gestured for everyone to begin their operation; if an ambush failed, a surprise attack would suffice.

Unfortunately, Shiro and his men were already on guard and reacted the moment the enemy charged out.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

"Earth Release · Earth Style: Earth Wall!"

"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet Technique!"

Although he reacted quickly, Shiro's Great Breakthrough was still blocked. Then, Shiro Issen the Earth Dragon Bullet that followed closely behind.

However, this also separated Shiro from Shikaki, preventing them from forming an effective alliance, which was exactly the result they wanted.

However, this did not affect Shiro and the others' plans. Since the enemy's attacks were all aimed at Shiro, Shikaki retreated a bit and immediately Hand Seals.

"Summoning Technique!"

"Bang!"

As a puff of white smoke dissipated, Manda and Blue Snake, radiating evil Chakra, appeared before them!

"This is... Cold Lord 'Orochimaru summoning beast!?"

It was then that they remembered that, in addition to the numerous Explosive Tag, there had also been a snake casting Genjutsu.

"Manda, thank you for your trouble."

"Hmph, it's just a deal, kid. Don't forget what you promised." Manda ignored Nakamura and said to Shiro instead.

"Don't worry, Manda, Konoha has no shortage of prisoners."

That's right, Shiro only helped because he promised to perform the human sacrifice for Manda; otherwise, he couldn't have persuaded him. Although Shiro also disliked this kind of thing, his life was more important now, and besides, the one who died was a prisoner, not someone from the village.

Seeing that Manda ignored him, Nakamura sighed helplessly and followed. Manda alone couldn't deal with him; one-on-one combat wasn't something summoned beasts were good at.

On the other side, Blue Snake was much more pleasing to the eye. Without Shiro's orders, he took the initiative to cooperate with Muneki and the others to Chunin.

In just that short moment, Taichi had already rushed up and entangled with another Jonin. Clearly, Shiro and the others weren't very lucky.

Shiro was facing off against the Jonin who had previously impersonated Sunagakure Jonin.

Because Shiro and his group have the most information about him, their chances of success are the greatest!

Thus, the battlefield was completely divided, and Shiro and his group's plan had a perfect start!

Upon realizing this, Shiro's hands glowed with blue light as he charged towards it, and they quickly became entangled in combat.

While the battle raged, Shiro was also patiently waiting for the moment when Shiro's movements would be at their most powerful.

For Shiro, who had already Projection his weapon, this was not difficult. He just needed to wait for the right opportunity, just like now!

"Projection, begin!"

Shiro brushed past him, then swung his right hand behind him, a flash of white light appearing as the Noble Phantasm instantly materialized in Shiro's hand.

"Bang bang bang!"

With three gunshots, the nameless Jonin fell to the ground.

Yes, a gunshot rang out! This time, Shiro Projection a rare firearm- Noble Phantasm — Thunderer!

"Thunderer"

Rank: C++ Category: Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm

Range: 1-100 Maximum Capture: 1 person

Thunderer.

Billy the Kid used his legendary favorite gun—a Colt M1877 double-action revolver (commonly known as the "Thunderer")—to perform a reverse triple shot.

This is a product of turning the legends about him into Noble Phantasm.

To be precise, the Noble Phantasm is not the pistol itself, but rather the entirety of "Billy the Kid holding this pistol and firing it," which is similar to his inherent skills.

The most insidious aspect of this Noble Phantasm is that Mana Noble Phantasm.

Specifically, his Mana consumption is the same as that of using an E-rank Noble Phantasm.

Here comes the high-tech weapon you've all been waiting for. Finally, nobody wants to join the group? (>_<)
