Entering Konoha

How did I recognize these three guys?

These three guys are quite unique. They each carry several umbrellas on their backs. These are their weapons for unleashing the Ninja Art: Rain Needles!

But if we're talking about weakness, these three guys are actually quite capable.

The Ninja Art: Rain Needles is quite effective. Its attacks are wide-ranging, dense, and leave no blind spots. For those skilled only in close combat, it's practically a guaranteed kill.

For example, that guy Naruto.

However, these three guys were unlucky; in the original story, they encountered the ruthless and powerful Gaara. Otherwise, they might actually have made it into a one-on-one duel...

And now... they've actually blocked his way.

Moke observed three seconds of silence for them.

These three guys definitely didn't check the almanac before they went out, really!

Shigure, who was in the lead, stepped forward. "Kid, you've gotten separated from your team, haven't you! If you know what's good for you, give me the scroll you have. Or tell me the location of your teammates, otherwise..."

The words weren't finished, but the meaning couldn't be clearer.

Clearly, they've mistaken Moke for someone participating in the Chunin Exams.

"Slap slap..."

But the next second, Moke rushed out and started whipping the three of them wildly.

A moment later, the three of them covered their faces and squatted down.

He looked at Moke with a mixture of fear and ingratiation.

An hour later, Shigure, with a fawning smile, said, "My lord, you are amazing! Not only have you learned the chakra cultivation method, but you have also quickly mastered the Water Release: Water Clone Technique."

Moke smiled.

Under the influence of the Curse Mark, he already possessed a sense of "qi". Now that he had a method of cultivation, he simply followed it. He quickly cultivated his own chakra and soon learned the Water Release: Water Clone Technique.

This pleased Moke greatly, and he then looked at Shigure, Mei Yu, Zhou Yu: "Don't you still have a ninjutsu called 'Rain Needles'? Teach it to you all!"

"Ah?"

The three Shigure, Mei Yu, and Zhou Yu— were all stunned.

Each village has its own unique ninjutsu, and this ninjutsu, "Rain Needles," is one of them. Such ninjutsu is kept secret and forbidden to be passed on. If others were to find out about it, they would have nowhere to stand when they returned to their village!

"Um?"

Moke glanced over, his eyes instantly sharpening.

He then punched a large tree next to him, and the tree, which was three or four meters thick, snapped in two with his punch.

Finally, it collapsed with a thud.

"Ah!"

The three of them were so frightened, their expressions were practically meme-worthy.

After regaining their senses, they nodded frantically. "Teach, we'll teach!"

They know how to choose between dying now and dying later. Besides, not teaching them means certain death, but teaching them doesn't guarantee what the consequences will be!

However, I still gave a reminder: "With your current chakra levels, being able to Water Release: Water Clone Technique is already a miracle. The chakra required for Ninja Art Rain Needles is several times that of Water Release: Water Clone Technique, so if we were to teach you, you... you... you..."

At this point, they dared not continue.

If the meaning is already quite clear.

Moke waved his hand. "You just teach, whether I can learn it or not is my own business. But if you try anything funny, I can crush you in a heartbeat."

Mei Yu and Zhou Yu looked at Shigure, after Shigure was the captain of their team.

Shigure steeled himself and began to teach. "This ninjutsu, 'Rain Needles,' requires first enveloping all the senbon needles within the umbrella with chakra..."

Moke immediately activated his Curse Mark, his chakra surging forth instantly and heading towards the umbrella in his hand...
