Something Even I Couldn't Do

Lin Yan looked at the middle-aged man in front of her, who was fat, strong, and burly.

The other person was dressed very well, and looked like the kind of person who was used to a life of luxury.

"So he's the target we're supposed to escort?"

Lin Yan asked curiously.

"This is Mr. Rocky."

"Our mission will be complete once we safely escort him from here to the Land of Hot Water."

Kakashi answered.

"Then, let's set off."

He personally led the team, and the three of them, along with Rocky, left the gates of Konoha Village and embarked on their journey to the Land of Waves.

After walking only a short distance, Lin Yan started to get a little bored.

Because they are not moving very fast.

It was no different from a normal walk.

"Can't we carry him and hurry on our way?"

Lin Yan looked at Kakashi and asked.

"Mission intelligence indicates that hostile ninjas will attempt to intercept us."

"Therefore, we cannot be too reckless; we must be careful with every step we take, if we do not wish to fall into the enemy's ambush."

Kakashi answered.

Lin Yan pursed her lips, wondering what kind of trap she hadn't seen before.

At this point, the group and Rocky each passed a small puddle.

Itachi, who was bringing up the rear of the group, suddenly whispered a reminder: "Kakashi- senpai."

"Um..."

Kakashi gave a mysterious reply.

Lin Yan had already sensed that something was wrong.

Before Kakashi and Itachi could react further, Lin Yan suddenly made her move decisively.

"There really was an ambush!!"

He suddenly made a move, throwing a punch at a small puddle by the roadside.

Although it did indeed look like a small puddle.

However, Lin Yan's Observation Haki clearly detected that it was actually an enemy.

And there is more than one enemy.

All the small puddles on the ground around us were camouflage created by the enemy using ninjutsu!

Lin Yan's punch seemed unremarkable.

However, once it was launched, it immediately generated an astonishing Vacuum Shockwave.

With a loud "boom".

Before Kakashi and Itachi could react, the Vacuum Fist Pressure struck the small puddle on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a figure was seen spitting blood as it flew out of the small puddle and crashed heavily more than ten meters away.

Itachi and Kakashi naturally and instinctively protected their mission target, Rocky, one in front and one behind.

At the same time, Lin Yan launched another series of attacks without hesitation.

He was as fast as Inazuma.

He threw more than a dozen punches in less than five seconds.

The rumbling sounds continued incessantly.

In a short while, seven or eight enemies disguised as puddles were all blasted away, coughing up blood and collapsing to the ground.

This scene shocked even Kakashi.

Itachi's eyes were also filled with a chilling expression.

Clearly, none of them expected Lin Yan to be able to spot the enemy faster than they were, and to strike with overwhelming force.

At this moment, the seven or eight enemies who had been blasted away crashed heavily to the ground, and six of them turned into puddles of water.

The remaining two are their true forms.

"What's this called again? Shadow Clone Technique, right?"

Lin Yan watched as the enemy disappeared, turning into a puddle of water, and curiously turned to Kakashi and Itachi to ask them a question.

"Careful!"

Kakashi whispered a reminder, his gaze darkening as he raised his hand and flung a kunai into the woods to Lin Yan's left.

However, before Kakashi's kunai could hit its target, Lin Yan's Vacuum Fist Pressure attack struck first, hitting the enemy hiding in the tree who was launching a sneak attack on Lin Yan.

The opponent, holding a short knife in both hands, leaped down from the tree, attempting to launch a sneak attack while Lin Yan was off guard.

But while his body was still in mid-air, he had already vomited two large mouthfuls of blood.

From Kakashi and Itachi's perspective, they could clearly see that the moment their opponent was struck by Lin Yan's Vacuum Fist Pressure, their clothes clung tightly to their skin and caved in.

The moment the enemy was knocked away, Lin Yan's figure had already disappeared.

"Such speed!"

Kakashi's pupils contracted slightly, his gaze quickly following Lin Yan's movements.

However, after tracking for less than ten Kakashi realized that he had completely lost track of his target.

At the same time, enemy figures were constantly being ejected from all directions, coughing up blood and flying backwards.

These are all enemy ninjas hiding in the woods along the roadside, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

In less than ten seconds, Lin Yan had already taken care of them all.

He clapped his hands, casually landed beside Kakashi and Itachi, and looked at Rocky looked terrified and bewildered.

"Are these the ninjas who were supposed to ambush you on the road?"

"His strength seems rather average..."

Lin Yan looked at Rocky and smiled.

"Thank you so much for escorting me, thank you all so much."

Rocky, covered in cold sweat, quickly thanked Lin Yan, Kakashi, and Itachi.

Kakashi surveyed the corpses of ninjas scattered on the ground around him.

These enemies were basically killed in one blow, without even a chance to fight back.

Judging from their clothes and headbands, they are ninjas from Takigakure.

They were all Chunin, and there were six of them.

Two Chunin squads were easily wiped out by Lin Yan alone in less than thirty seconds.

Kakashi knew that even he, without activating his Sharingan, couldn't have killed six opposing Chunin in such a short time.

"No wonder the Third Hokage forbade us from attacking him..."

Kakashi thought to himself with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

Lin Yan's voice came again at this moment, interrupting his thoughts.

"How long are we supposed to stand here?"

Lin Yan looked at Kakashi curiously and asked.

"We've only been away from the village for a short while, and we've already encountered the enemy."

"Mr. Rocky, are you sure the information you gave us is accurate?"

The perceptive Kakashi noticed that something was wrong.

Although it is a top-tier mission within the B-level category.

The client has made it clear that hostile ninjas will come looking for trouble.

However, based on what the other side said beforehand, it is unlikely that there would be such a daring enemy to infiltrate the vicinity of Konoha Village to carry out an assassination.

This unusual behavior can only have one explanation.

That means the six enemies Lin Yan just killed were just the beginning.

There will surely be more enemies coming to deal with them on the road ahead.

If that's the case, then the nature of this task is no longer B-level, but A-level.

A-level missions are far more difficult than B-level missions, and the fees are naturally different as well.

When Kakashi asked him this, Rocky immediately showed a guilty expression, his eyes flickered, and his gaze became somewhat unfocused.

He glanced at Lin Yan subconsciously, only to see Lin Yan staring at him with a half-smile.
