No Secrets Before Me

With a solemn expression, Kakashi removed the Sharingan.

Both Lin Yan and that rogue ninja from Iwagakure were incredibly strong and fast.

Without the Sharingan's perception, even Kakashi couldn't see through his opponent's speed and movements.

The moment he activated his Sharingan, he finally saw clearly the situation amidst the billowing dust ahead.

Lin Yan stood with her back to Darudo, about two or three meters behind him.

At this moment, Darudo was clenching his fists tightly, his body trembling slightly, which looked very strange.

Before Kakashi could figure out what had happened, he saw Darudo fall straight down face down.

After his body collapsed, Darudo completely stopped trembling.

He became completely silent, as if he had died.

Kakashi frowned as he watched all this, his eyes flashing with surprise and uncertainty.

At this moment, Lin Yan calmly turned around, grinned at herself and Itachi, and said, "It's done."

"This guy..."

Kakashi broke out in a cold sweat.

Does that solve the problem of that troublesome A-rank rogue ninja?

That's an elite Jonin from Iwagakure.

In a one-on-one situation, even if you wanted to defeat your opponent, it would be extremely difficult...

However, at this moment, Lin Yan had only used one move?

That kind of being was dealt with in a single move.

Is this a human being?

Not only Kakashi, but Itachi was also deeply shaken.

This wasn't the first time he had witnessed Lin Yan's abilities.

They also had a very high opinion of this man's abilities.

But Itachi still hadn't expected Lin Yan to be so powerful...

"Let's go, there shouldn't be any threats ahead."

Lin Yan ignored Itachi and Kakashi's shock, turned around with a nonchalant smile, and led the way.

Kakashi and Itachi were both speechless.

The two remained silent, continuing to escort Rocky in their established formation, one in front and one behind.

Indeed, as Lin Yan said, once they entered the Land of Land of Hot Water and arrived at the town, there were no more pursuers.

They successfully escorted Rocky to his destination.

Rocky naturally expressed his deepest gratitude.

He then took out a small amount of money and gave it to Lin Yan, Kakashi, and the others.

He said it was extra payment for successfully escorting him back this time.

Kakashi and Itachi were quite honest, repeatedly refusing the other party's kind offer, but Lin Yan didn't care and simply took the money and left.

Anyway, I deserve this money.

Lin Yan believed that since she had put in the work, she should be rewarded, the more the better.

Do we still have a mission?

Lin Yan asked.

"We need to go back and report the mission's progress to the Hokage before we can accept a new mission."

"But it may not be available immediately."

Kakashi answered.

"Let's go back first, this is such a hassle."

After Lin Yan finished speaking, she led the way on her way.

This time, without the escort mission to slow them down, they were able to proceed at full speed.

After several hours of driving at breakneck speed, they finally returned to Konoha Village.

"You can represent me in going to see the Third Hokage; I won't go."

Lin Yan waved goodbye to Itachi and Kakashi at the village gate.

"Call me when you have a mission."

After saying that, he vanished in a flash.

Inside the guard post at the main gate, Aoba Yamashiro, on duty, looked at Kakashi with a puzzled expression. "That guy just now... wasn't a Konoha ninja, was he?"

"How come you're on a mission together, Kakashi?"

Raido, standing nearby, also looked at Kakashi and Itachi with curiosity.

"This is a long story, I'll explain it to you when I have time."

Kakashi didn't say much.

He took the clearance documents from Aoba Yamashiro and walked into the village with Itachi.

In the Hokage's Office, after listening to Kakashi and Itachi's report, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but take a couple of puffs of his cigarette.

"You easily defeated so many enemies just by relying on physical skills?"

"It seems that Lin Yan's ' Six Powers ' is indeed extraordinary."

"Itachi, you said he's teaching you the techniques of the Six Powers, so you should study this martial art carefully."

"Let's see if it's suitable to promote this in our Konoha Village..."

After pondering for a moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked up at Itachi and gave him a reminder.

The physical abilities of ninjas are considerably inferior to their offensive techniques.

This is no secret.

Every ninja village knows this.

However, there are very few truly effective ways to improve the situation.

After all, every ninja has different talents, physique, and so on.

Even a powerful martial art like the Eight Gates cannot be widely adopted.

According to Itachi's description, Lin Yan's Six Powers are both offensive and defensive.

It not only grants the user superhuman physical defense, making them invulnerable to blades and spears, but also increases their speed to a level comparable to the Body Flicker Technique.

Its power is so great that it can even create Vacuum Fist Pressure in the air, causing devastating damage to its target.

The key point is that such powerful physical techniques don't have a very high barrier to entry for training.

Given the physical abilities of ninjas, they are generally capable of mastering the essence of the Six Powers.

If this could be promoted to the entire population, it would definitely be very helpful in improving the fighting strength of Konoha Village.

"I understand, Lord Sandai."

Itachi nodded seriously.

At that moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked up at Kakashi and said, "You can also try out these new things, Kakashi."

"Since Lin Yan comes from a distant country and brings with her powerful taijutsu abilities that the Ninja World has never seen before, we should approach this with a humble and learning attitude, absorbing her strengths to make up for our own weaknesses..."

"Understood, Lord Sandai."

Kakashi immediately nodded in agreement.

"But..."

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi changed the subject. "Lin Yan's purpose in coming to Konoha is still uncertain, and we cannot fully trust him yet."

"Let's observe him for a while before considering assigning him to more classified missions."

Kakashi and Itachi shared the same thought.

Hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, he naturally had no objections.

At this moment, what they didn't know was that their conversation had already been clearly heard by Lin Yan's powerful Observation Haki.

Lin Yan, who had just arrived at the training ground outside the village, couldn't help but chuckle when she heard the conversation between Hiruzen Sarutobi, Kakashi, Itachi, and the others.

These ninjas still considered themselves a threat to their village.

They don't fully trust me yet, saying they won't let me handle classified missions.

If you really wanted to, what secrets does this village hold?

Lin Yan smiled and unleashed her Observation Haki without restraint, instantly covering the entire area of Konoha Village.

But the next second, his expression turned strange.
