It started with just a few people chatting, and gradually grew to more than a dozen.
When the betting odds were announced, a large group of people rushed over and placed a bet!
This directly led to the Young Man initially wanted to take over becoming the Company Commander Senju Nobutada.
Unfortunately, the Young Man didn't have that much money in his bag.
Once the plate got bigger, he couldn't quite catch it!
Upon landing, I noticed the commotion over there.
Uka Senju also gave a somewhat helpless grin.
This Senju craze really shows that no place can do without gambling!
As he walked, lost in thought, he drew the long sword from his back.
He walked to the opposite side of Hoshikage, and a thin blue film appeared on his body!
At first, the Third Hoshikage thought that the leader of this Ninja group had arrived.
But to my surprise, when I turned around, I saw a child wearing dark green armor and with a full head of white hair...?
This was accompanied by the gradually increasing murmur of discussion from the other side.
He immediately guessed what the group of Konoha Ninja meant.
What I thought was affection was 'stardom'.
In reality, he was using himself as this child's sparring partner?
That child is definitely Konoha High Command or a genius.
His face instantly turned bright red.
Training partner?
Betting odds?
Very well, you're using yourselves as whetstones; aren't you afraid of breaking your knives in the process?
How dare you do this? Then let's see if the stone is harder, or your knives are harder!
Having made up his mind, the Third Hoshikage's eyes narrowed.
The pale purple Mysterious Peacock Method behind him instantly split into three streams, crashing down towards the child opposite him.
Bang bang bang!
Sensing the change on the other side, Uka Senju, who was approaching the enemy, immediately dodged.
After dodging three attacks with a simple zigzag movement, he raised his left hand upwards.
Wood Release: Vine Binding
Several vines immediately sprouted from beneath the feet of the Third Hoshikage and tightened around the person in the middle.
"Bang!"
After a heart-wrenching sound, the vines, instead of severing their enemies, severed themselves.
He saw that the Third Hoshikage's Mysterious Peacock Method had been recalled to protect himself.
Senju clenched his left fist and quickly pulled it back, throwing a punch towards the enemy.
Wood Release: Violent Spear Tree
A green light flashed, and the Wood Release instantly struck the Third Hoshikage's Mysterious Peacock Method defense.
"Bang!"
A series of impacts rang out, but the tortoise shell still wouldn't break.
However, the Third Hoshikage was sent flying backward and crashed into the rubble of a building behind him.
Using the Mysterious Peacock Method, a circular cover was formed.
After being knocked away, I felt the force coming from the shield.
The Third Hoshikage, looking slightly disheveled, couldn't help but smirk!
The sudden appearance of the vines startled him.
Upon seeing that it was the legendary Wood Release, he immediately summoned all his magical techniques to defend himself.
However, the strength of the subsequent vines, as well as the strength of the Wood Release Ninjutsu from before.
They were all telling the child about Wood Release.
It was not enough to break through its own full defense.
Furthermore, he was able to determine the opponent's strength level based on these two moves.
A mere Special Jōnin?
Sorry, it seems I'm the harder rock out there!
The Third Hoshikage lowered his eyelids slightly, looking at the Konoha's Wood Release opposite him.
His voice was a little hoarse as he said, "Child, experience firsthand what the true power of the Hoshigakure is like!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he formed the 'Chen' hand seal.
The pale purple cloak surrounding him immediately spread out and stood upright behind him like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.
The next moment, these pale purple Chakra, like a peacock's tail, appeared.
They shot into the sky and merged together, transforming into three Chakra monsters with dragon heads.
Then they all rushed towards Uka Senju below!
Waaaaah--
A slightly muffled whooshing sound came through the air.
Uka Senju narrowed her eyes and immediately moved to dodge.
The other side was testing, but wasn't he doing the same? He swung his long sword in his right hand, slicing open a dragon's head.
The two Wood Release Ninjutsu had already given him an idea of the strength of the opponent's defenses.
Although the opponent used a secret technique, it has to be said that they are indeed at the Elite Jonin.
He can forget about breaking through that defense with just Wood Release!
Therefore, the choice of combat at this point is...
While dodging the coordinated attacks of the three dragon heads, he quickly approached the Third Hoshikage.
Of course, in these gaps.
He also continuously unleashed Wood Release ninjutsu, such as Wood Release: Wood Release Ninjutsu Tree Spear, which he had fully mastered, to disrupt the enemy's attack speed.
Looking at the white-haired boy trying to get closer to him, the Third Hoshikage's lips curled up slightly.
The moment the boy got close, he clenched his right fist.
A fist, wrapped in the Mysterious Peacock Method, with a dragon head formed from purple Chakra atop it, swiftly slammed towards the approaching person.
"You brat, the Mysterious Peacock Method isn't just about what we just showed!"
As the Third Hoshikage's lips curled into a smile and those didactic words rang out.
As Uka Senju approached the enemy, the blue membrane covering her body suddenly disappeared.
From the outside, it was observed that Uka inside the arena did not use the Senju Nintaijutsu.
Several Jonin immediately stood up.
Just as they were about to Body Flicker Technique, Senju Chiharu, who had already jumped off the cliff, raised her hand to stop the group of people who were about to interfere.
In that very instant.
In the arena, Uka Senju's right fist collided with the fist of the Third Hoshikage.
Superhuman Strength Technique
"Bang-Crack!"
A deafening roar and a gust of wind erupted at the moment the two collided.
Immediately following was the sound of porcelain cracking.
Looking at the disbelief in the eyes of the Third Hoshikage opposite him.
Uka Senju smiled and asked, "Is this the Mysterious Peacock Method?"
The sword I just threw out didn't last thirty years.
Instead, it instantly pierced back into the heart of the Third Hoshikage.
He stared blankly at the cracked mark on his right hand, listening to the words spoken by the white-haired boy opposite him!
The Third Hoshikage felt a complete blank in his mind at that moment.
He has practiced the Mysterious Peacock Method since childhood; you can say you are weak, or that the manipulator is weak.
But have we ever seen such a direct and forceful way of shattering the Mysterious Peacock Method?
Is this a Special Jōnin clashing with the full-force attack of an Elite Jonin?
"Let me give you a heads-up, Third Hoshikage!"
Uka Senju laughed, withdrew her hand, and raised it again, saying, "If your next punch lands on you, you'll die!"
The boy's voice brought the Third Hoshikage mind had been blank, back to reality.
He was initially angry at himself for making such a mistake during the battle.
Then all his anger was transferred to the white-haired boy opposite him!
I gave you the chance to launch a sneak attack, and you actually reminded me?
But the thoughts in his mind did not stop his actions.
Upon hearing the boy's words and the howling sound of the wind being compressed, he had no time to retreat and could only defend himself with all his might once again!
"Bang!"
A muffled thud accompanied the sound of a house collapsing, and after hitting the cliff on the side, it wandered back and forth within the village.
Within a 100-meter radius of the two individuals, the ground bounced up and down once.
Because this time, Uka Senju didn't punch directly, but rather threw a punch downwards.
Therefore, the Third Hoshikage, who once again used the Mysterious Peacock Method to create a circular protective shield, did not fly out.
Instead, half of his body was shoved into the ground by the immense force from above!
"Snap!"
A soft sound of porcelain shattering rang out again.
The Third Hoshikage looked up as cracks gradually reappeared around the small fist.
He finally accepted reality and began to consider other ways to deal with the enemy!
Clearly, the white-haired youth opposite them possessed the ability to break through defenses.
With ranged attacks, it's now very difficult for him to completely prevent the boy from getting close.
Furthermore, Chakra is limited, so ranged attacks cannot kill the opponent.
At this point, I have no choice but to enter the entanglement phase and use the Mysterious Peacock Method to try and avoid the punches.
The only correct approach is to attack quickly and outnumber the enemy!
Inside the protective shield, the next tactics were confirmed.
The Third Hoshikage's eyes narrowed, and he swiftly manipulated the Mysterious Peacock Method, causing a change.
I noticed something odd about the middle-aged man's gaze below.
Uka Senju's Wood Release Armor immediately came into action.
Stimulated by the Wood Release Chakra, they rapidly grew and enveloped every part of Uka's body.
And under Uka's control, his back rippled.
Two wooden arms instantly sprouted, blocking the pale purple light that was aimed at his throat!
If their previous battle can be considered a period of stillness, then their subsequent battle can be considered a period of movement.
Bang bang bang!
A series of collisions rang out.
Two people with four arms were fighting.
Because of the excessive speed, Uka Senju lost the opportunity to use her Superhuman Strength Technique during the high-speed attack, which she had not yet fully mastered.
Third Hoshikage, who wanted to end the battle quickly, didn't expect that his opponent would also have four arms.
Therefore, he also lost the opportunity to adjust his tactics and use other variations of the Mysterious Peacock Method.
Although Uka Senju is not yet able to control the two Wood Release arms behind her at will with perfect balance of softness and hardness!
However, it was enough to defend against the attack from the arm that the Mysterious Peacock Method.
However, the fundamentals are different, the physical differences are significant, and the other person also has their own issues.
So it only lasted a few minutes of extremely intense fighting.
The Third Hoshikage had been forcibly enhanced using the 'Star' technique, felt waves of fatigue emanating from his body.
Gradually, he realized that he was losing his grip on Uka's speed and could no longer suppress her.
So, he took the opportunity to cancel the Mysterious Peacock Method Arm behind him.
He held it up in front of him again!
"Bang, bang~ bang!"
The fist, clad in Wood Release, slammed into the sphere three times in a row.
Seeing that she couldn't break through, Uka Senju also released control over the arm behind her that was blocking the attack.
He pulled his right fist back again, activating the ' Superhuman Strength Technique,' and slammed it into the oval-shaped sphere!
"Bang—Crack!"
The sounds of impact and shattering rang out again simultaneously.
But this time, Uka Senju showed no intention of stopping.
He raised his right fist again, and his left hand suddenly clenched tightly together.
Wood Release: Tree Burial
Stimulated by Wood Release Chakra, numerous plant roots and stems sprouted from the ground.
They intertwined under the influence of Ninjutsu, tightly binding the sphere and fixing it in place.
And with visible force, it tried its best to crush the defensive strength of the Mysterious Peacock Method.
Inside the sphere, it looked like it was completely enclosed.
As the Third Hoshikage repaired the broken parts of the Mysterious Peacock Method, he stared intently at the person opposite him with his slightly reddened eyes and said, "Kid, can you tell me why your Konoha wanted to destroy Hoshigakure?"
You know your own body best.
The longer the star stays in the body after using that secret technique.
The greater the damage to the body, the more severe the consequences!
He can't even escape the attack range of that brat, let alone the hundreds of Ninja outside.
So, knowing his fate, he used this almost final opportunity to ask about the thing that had always puzzled him!
In his view, Hoshigakure had already been low-key enough.
Konoha's attitude doesn't seem like they're trying to steal the 'star'!
So what was their motive for launching a village-wide annihilation attack on Hoshigakure?
Upon hearing the question from the other side, Uka Senju didn't hesitate at all and directly punched the Third Hoshikage's Mysterious Peacock Method.
"Bang!"
Another loud crash was heard.
The pale purple cover shattered directly at the point where the fist landed.
However, the interaction of forces is still respected in the Shinobi World.
Therefore, the Third Hoshikage, who had secretly altered the shape of the technique behind him, was instantly pulled away by the immense force in front of him and broke free from the restraints of Wood Release: Tree Burial.
This was discovered long ago, immediately after the person took off.
Uka Senju raised her left hand again.
"Splash!"
The sound of wooden vines growing and moving filled the air as they enveloped the figure in the air, stimulated by Wood Release Chakra.
" The Mysterious Peacock Method!"
After letting out a roar, the Third Hoshikage swung his right hand down heavily, enveloped in purple Chakra.
As he severed the surrounding vines, he lost his chance to adjust and fell straight to the ground.
After that one strike, he knew his fate.
While trying to figure out a way to resist, the Third Hoshikage shouted, "Kid, tell me!"
As the sound faded, his left hand, wielding the Mysterious Peacock Method, slashed down.
The combined force of the falling gravity and the desperate swinging power.
One can imagine the power of this attack.
Uka Senju did not choose to confront them head-on.
Instead, he dodged it with a quick movement, and then, taking advantage of the moment, his right hand, enhanced by his Superhuman Strength Technique, broke through the pale purple shield and pierced the shoulder of the falling Third Hoshikage.
This was the first time Wood Release had come into contact with an enemy's body since the start of the battle.
This was also the first time the Third Hoshikage had ever truly been injured and bled.
He felt his right hand, enveloped in Wood Release, pierce into the flesh and blood of the Third Hoshikage.
A wisp of Chakra within Uka Senju instantly left her body and transformed into Wood Release Chakra.
And through the Wood Release material in his hand, it entered the body of the Third Hoshikage!
They realized this.
He looked at the frozen Third Hoshikage before him.
After a moment of intense, serious combat, Uka Senju took a slight breath.
A slight smile played on his lips as he replied softly, "Because you are too weak!"
The changes within his body rendered the Third Hoshikage unable to resist.
He knew he was going to die, but he still hadn't figured out the answer to that question.
Just as he was about to ask again...
He heard the boy's answer!
"Because you are too weak!"
"Because you are too weak!"
"Because you are too weak...!"
"Yes!"
Why should one ask an enemy why they would want to destroy oneself?
They actually used the name of a ninja village to collect military funds from the Land of Bears.
Then it will be targeted and destroyed by the powerful.
Isn't that normal?
They were wiped out.
The root cause is that their Hoshigakure is too weak!
So weak that Konoha only mobilized a little over a hundred people.
They wiped out the Hoshigakure, which had over a thousand Ninja!
However, with such strength, when their own side had thousands of Ninja...
He actually thought he had a chance to surpass the Five Great Shinobi Villages by relying on 'Star'?
Too weak!
Too weak!
The Hoshigakure is too weak!
I should have listened to what the Second Hoshikage said before he died.
"The power of the stars allows us to live in this world."
"It's meant for self-protection and defense against wild animals; once it spreads, it could easily cause trouble!"
"Therefore, it would be best for Hoshigakure to remain a small village, where generations can live a carefree life in seclusion in the Yamanaka!"
Yes, the Second Hoshikage is right!
Why should one yearn for the prosperity of the outside world?
Are you imagining the glory of becoming a great power?
"Unfortunately, teacher, it seems I realized this a little too late!"
" Jinryū, Gyōji, Nishimi, Eifuku, Shūi, Sōrei, Kokaze, Chika, Shūketu... I was blinded by desire, I'm so sorry!"
"Unfortunately, I lack the power to avenge you; I can only atone for my sins in the Pure Land!"
The changes within his body could no longer be suppressed.
Realizing he was about to die, the Third Hoshikage turned his head slightly to look at the white-haired boy beside him.
A thank-you smile appeared on his lips.
He slowly closed his eyes!
He lost the suppression of the Third Hoshikage and the star within his body.
The Wood Release Chakra immediately underwent changes within the Third Hoshikage's body.
"Puff puff puff puff puff~!"
A series of sounds rang out.
Centered on the wound on the shoulder of the Third Hoshikage.
Dozens of dark green branches grew from the body of the Third Hoshikage!
Since their branches emerged from inside the body, they inevitably bore traces of blood.
Under the simultaneous illumination of the moon and sun in the sky.
An unusual beauty emanated from the dead body of the Third Hoshikage.
At this moment, there were more than a hundred people watching the battle.
They all simultaneously felt a tightening on their skin, and instantly understood why Uka had been fighting in close combat!
They had previously discussed the odds of either side winning.
I also saw the initial clash between the two!
The difference in strength between Elite Jonin and Special Jōnin is still quite significant.
Therefore, everyone agreed that Uka Senju only needed to suppress him from a distance using Wood Release Ninjutsu!
After all, the opponent was an Elite Jonin secret techniques.
Therefore, once the secret technique's duration ends, its defeat is only a matter of time.
In this way, Uka Senju can be considered to have performed well in the play that the Senju Clan set up for her to perform!
But after observing the changes on the battlefield, they truly couldn't understand why Uka insisted on a head-on confrontation.
The subsequent attack from that unknown Taijutsu gave them the answer and also gave them hope that Uka could win in a head-on confrontation!
But the battle quickly turned into a close-quarters, fast-paced fight.
Seeing that the fight was about to begin, Uka did not use that unknown Taijutsu.
They immediately realized Uka's unknown weakness in Taijutsu!
This... having lost the means to break through the defense, they were genuinely puzzled for a moment as to why Uka Senju was resorting to close combat!
If you can't break through the defenses, then what are you going to do in close combat?
Finally, when Uka Senju caused the Third Hoshikage to bleed for the first time in a true sense.
The hope that Uka could win was rekindled in the hearts of those who were puzzled.
But just as the fire started, the two of them stopped simultaneously?
It wasn't until the Third Hoshikage turned into a 'hedgehog' that they finally understood why Uka had gotten so close!
This guy was just skinned alive, and he's dead?
With such methods available, who wouldn't want close combat?
Especially when it's obvious that long-range Ninjutsu can't break through the defense.
If I were to go in myself, I'd have to work hard in close combat to find opportunities to break through the opponent's defenses!
Having defeated her opponent, Uka Senju removed her hand from the Third Hoshikage's shoulder.
He walked to the spot where he had been standing, pulled out the Hengdao that was stuck in the ground, and re-inserted it into his back.
He glanced around, amidst the satisfied looks of the middle-aged men and the somewhat excited gazes of the Young Man.
Uka Senju smiled and nodded to acknowledge her hard work, then turned and walked over to her two teammates.
"Hahaha, 100,000 taels, Captain Shin'i, settle the accounts quickly!" Seeing the protagonist leave, a Jonin from the Senju clan Jonin the smiling Company Commander Senju Nobutada beside him and said loudly with a laugh.
His voice also alerted the people around him.
Instantly, the Young Man who had previously suppressed Uka surrounded Senju Nobutada.
"Captain, Captain, my 30,000!"
"Captain, my fifty thousand!"
"Captain, I only have ten thousand, no more, give it to me first!"
"..."
Previously, they were not happy about the growth of their own Wood Release.
Reminded by his friend, he looked at the team members gathered around him, chattering and asking for money!
Senju Nobutada suddenly remembered that he was the one who had been the bookmaker before.
And because so many people were betting on Uka, the odds hadn't been adjusted in time.
So, I'm going to have to bleed a lot of money this time?
Thinking of this, his face darkened instantly amidst the surrounding cries for money!
Because of this, he will lose at least 300,000 taels of silver.
This... it seems today's battle was fought for nothing!
Seeing that Uka Senju had completed another small test given by the Clan exceptionally well.
'Let the Clan members see the growth of Wood Release!'
Senju Chiharu maintained her usual cold expression in public.
But she was extremely happy and joyful.
She took a few careful glances at her husband, who walked in and stood beside her again.
Amidst the excited sounds of those who had won the bets seeking to settle their accounts with the dealer.
She glanced at her watch; it was 5:58!
"Great! The total time didn't exceed half an hour, and it'll be sunrise soon!"
He put his hand down and looked at the team members in front of him, most of whom had won money.
Her cool voice rang out, "Clean up the battlefield as planned, then have breakfast."
"We'll set off promptly at 7:00!"
"Yes, Chiharu!" Upon hearing the instructions to perform the ceremony, the onlookers immediately busied themselves under the leadership of their respective captains.
They just cleared out the living people from the village.
The battlefield, still wet from the fighting, hasn't been cleaned up yet.
Now that the departure time is set for 7 o'clock, we need to act as soon as possible.
Then, finishing the cleaning sooner will allow me to get more rest!
Seeing her teammates getting moving, Senju Chiharu nodded in satisfaction.
The attack this morning was scheduled for 5:30 as planned.
Since the battle didn't last an hour, the other planned times can be brought forward again.
But half an hour is still needed to clean up the mess.
After all, it's a ninja village, so their gains this time shouldn't be too small.
Next, they must rush to the border to deal with the attack from the Land of Water.
Let's take a half-hour break during breakfast.
This will also allow everyone to be in good condition to face the upcoming battle!
Although only a little over a hundred people witnessed the scene, people from all ethnic groups were present.
Once they return, the news of their 'growing prowess in Wood Release ' will surely spread!
Therefore, Uka has completed the two tasks that the Clan required her to perform.
Now it's time for him to start enjoying that benefit!
Thinking this, Senju Chiharu turned to the three people behind her and said, "Your mission is complete. Now you can set off for the Capital!"
"Remember, the latest time to capture the Capital is 8 o'clock. You can decide for yourselves when to set off."
After speaking, he glanced at the three people in front of him.
He paused for a moment on the white-haired figure.
She turned and walked toward the Company Commander who were waiting to the side.
Regular team members and squad leaders can go and do some simple physical work such as cleaning up the battlefield.
But now they must get busy planning their next steps and how to handle extreme situations upon arrival!
Therefore, more communication and interaction are needed after the task is completed.
It should be available soon!
Upon hearing the arrangement from the other side, Uka Senju and the other two bowed in unison to indicate that they understood.
After Senju Chiharu left.
Inuzuka Furin and Aburame Kaun's gazes shifted to their teammate who had just defeated Hoshikage.
Uka is the team leader, so he's the one who decides when to leave.
And my friend just had a big fight.
Neither of them knew how long their teammate needed to rest, or even if he needed to rest at all!
Noticing their gazes, Uka Senju scratched her head and thought for a moment before saying, "How about we leave now?"
"The information says it takes about half an hour to get from here to the Capital!"
"Let's head over there soon and meet up with Ziming and the Shimei, then we can rest somewhere."
Is it tiring to fight a big battle? Well, it is a bit tiring.
Chakra consumption is manageable, not too high!
That's why he felt that instead of resting here, he should go over there and see what happens.
It's only a half-hour journey anyway.
With the help of Chakra, half an hour is really no big deal!
In the past, Inuzuka Furin almost always agreed with Uka's decisions.
After listening to Uka's suggestion, she frowned slightly and said, " Uka-kun, why don't you take a rest?"
"It's only 6 o'clock now. If I rest for half an hour, it will be 7 o'clock by then."
"The latest time is 8 o'clock, we'll have enough time!"
Upon hearing this, before Uka could speak, Aburame Kaun nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, yes, you just fought an Elite Jonin."
"Let's rest for a while first, no matter what."
After saying those two serious sentences, he suddenly grinned widely, leaned closer, and whispered, " Uka, I didn't realize you were so good at hiding things!"
"You can take down even Elite Jonin? Then why did your Aunt only give you a Special Jōnin this time?"
"If we just get Jonin rank, we might as well lead our team to the border and have a run with the Land of Water this time!"
After saying that, seeing that the two seemed to be thinking about the scene of the great war with the Land of Water, he couldn't help but chuckle.
I saw my friend fight against Elite Jonin before.
He was genuinely surprised, as he had always known that his friend was better than him.
This time, all three of them received the Special Jōnin badge.
Therefore, he also felt that even if someone was strong, they wouldn't be excessively strong.
Unexpectedly, this friend had unknowingly become capable of fighting and defeating Elite Jonin?
With such a huge gap, why is the Senju still holding onto a Jonin to give him up?
If we have Jonin, my friend will be qualified to lead Middle Unit.
Therefore, they would not need to go to the Capital to complete any suppression missions.
Instead, they can go directly to the real Front Line and face off against real opponents!
Those are the regular troops of the Five Great Nations.
Not those good-for-nothings who have defected for years and don't even know how many Ninja skills they've stored up!
Of course, this is also because the rogue Ninja of today are not as outrageous as they are twenty years later.
Furthermore, they have yet to encounter any truly powerful individuals.
The existence of the Wood Release Guard Squad could previously be concealed from most people, but it could not be hidden from those who were truly powerful.
This experience is what gave Aburame Kaun that impression of defectors.
Hearing their words, Uka Senju shook her head and said, "It's alright, let's go now!"
Don't worry, this isn't me being stubborn.
After speaking to the Furin, he saw her nod understandingly.
Uka Senju slapped Aburame Kaun's shoulder irritably, then grabbed his neck and walked out, saying, "What are you hiding? You know what Jonin requires."
"I haven't mastered those two Nature Transformation yet, how can you give me Jonin badge?"
"In terms of defensive strength and Chakra reserves, the Third Hoshikage could be considered an Elite Jonin."
"But considering their overall Elite Jonin, Senju Fukami could Jonin take down that so-called elite Jonin!"
" The Mysterious Peacock Method is interesting, but don't you think the Third Hoshikage's methods are a bit lacking?"
"He doesn't know any Ninjutsu or common Ninjutsu. All he knows is to use that Mysterious Peacock Method for offense and defense; he has no other skills whatsoever."
"Even its biggest highlight, its so-called defensive strength, seems quite strong, but the real reason is that I haven't mastered those two Nature Transformation, and there's still a gap in strength between us, which results in my Ninjutsu being limited in power and unable to break through."
"If you sent someone who had mastered the Nature Transformation, that so-called wondrous technique wouldn't withstand more than a few blows!"
"Stop thinking about fighting all day long. We've Capital for months, so we might as well take this opportunity to properly study those two Nature Transformation."
"Only by mastering this will your attacks undergo a qualitative change!"
"...!"
He put his arm around his friend and wrote a long, detailed speech.
These were all things he had thought of after his battle with the Third Hoshikage.
He was initially quite pleased to have defeated an Elite Jonin.
But upon closer examination of the battle...
It lacks common techniques such as the Three Basic Techniques, basic Ninjutsu, and combinations of the five Ninjutsu.
His physical strength and basic Taijutsu skills are also quite average.
This Third Hoshikage is a crippled opponent!
Although that Mysterious Peacock Method could switch between reality and illusion, replacing many other methods.
But the attack methods they developed are just so-so!
Of course, this is also partly due to the fact that what he possesses happens to be a counter to the Third Hoshikage.
But he still felt the same way about fighting the Third Hoshikage.
It's not as tough as fighting those veteran Jonin from the Clan!
Hearing Uka spouting nonsense to fool Kaun, Inuzuka Furin, who was following behind the two, smiled silently.
Each Ninja possesses different skills, and each has their own specialty.
Restraint and being restrained are both perfectly normal things.
Indeed, the Third Hoshikage doesn't seem to have many tricks up his sleeve.
But instead of specifically choosing Ninja who counters the Third Hoshikage, someone else should be sent up.
Why don't you try and see if they have the strength of Elite Jonin?
Uka is clearly just making up excuses to suppress Kaun's belligerent nature!
Or perhaps, when you're persuading others, you're also persuading yourself not to be arrogant?
Well... given Uka-kun's personality, that's actually quite possible!
While thinking to herself, Inuzuka Furin followed the two with her Ninja Dog and hurried towards the Capital!
The three people were seen leaving from the side.
The company Company Commander who overheard the conversation couldn't help but smile.
As the ones who set the stage, they certainly had some considerations when choosing their opponents.
But he's only twelve years old, two years after graduating.
That's enough to defeat an enemy who, despite being slightly crippled, still maintains at least the strength of Jonin of the Five Great Nations.
This is something that gives the Clan and allies even more confidence in Wood Release and the future of the Senju!
However, according to Captain Chiharu and his Clan, that Superhuman Strength Technique...
We also have the opportunity to learn!
The power of that strike!
Upon realizing this, the Company Commander of the Senju clan involuntarily headed towards the previous battlefield.
The plaza now has several deep pits; I glanced at it a few times!
early morning.
Six o'clock.
Facing the rising sun.
Several Root Ninja who arrived in Kirigakure and the Land of Water Capital early last night have also begun their respective operations.
Although they arrived in the early morning, it wasn't at the time that Aburame Gyokusei had predicted.
Because of the turbulent sea at night, they did not set foot on the Land of Water until after 3 a. m.
After a few brief trimmings and task assignments at the Root.
They then headed to their next destination.
Because of the Blood Mist Policy, the Kirigakure has no chance for foreign Ninja to enter in the early morning.
Another objective is to enter the Land of Water Capital at night.
However, it wasn't so easy for these foreigners to enter the royal palace of the Land of Water.
If you don't want to be mistaken for an enemy and killed by the Mizukage.
Then they would have to go during the day and use the proper channels to pay their respects.
In order to ensure the success of the mission, they each assigned themselves specific tasks!
Those who attend audiences, those who spread messages, and those who are in reserve.
In short, the two Root Ninja squads from the two locations each had a mission and began their individual operations.
Kirigakure.
Inside the tallest building in the village, a brick and stone structure with an overall cylindrical shape.
The middle-aged man who proposed the Blood Mist Policy had long, straight black hair and a very kind face.
He listened to his subordinates' report while looking out the window at the thick fog that had not yet dissipated.
After a long while, it seemed as if the view outside the window had lost its appeal.
The Third Mizukage, with his long, straight black hair, turned his head slightly and said softly, "That's it?"
"Yes, Lord Mizukage!" A middle-aged man wearing a vest-style Combat Uniform bowed again in response.
Having received confirmation from his subordinate, the Third Mizukage, wearing a blue straw hat, turned around and, while walking towards the desk behind him, said calmly, "If you want to borrow a sword, then so be it!"
"Order the Genji to depart within two hours, gather his men, and lead five Large Unit there!"
"Let him fight back well, so that Senju won't not hate that monkey enough."
Hearing the arrangements made by the Third Mizukage behind the table.
The middle-aged man in the Combat Uniform hesitated for a moment.
Whether to hit or not, these are decisions made by the adults.
The reason given by the Mizukage for taking action is quite good.
No matter how fiercely the attack on Kirigakure takes, the person Senju hates the most will never be Mizukage!
But should we send an order for Genji to go?
The conflict between the two sides has been almost entirely public ever since this person Blood Mist Policy!
Why would the Third Mizukage send the Genji to lead the team at this point?
As he pondered his intentions for taking the position, the middle-aged man suddenly felt a cold gaze fall upon him from not far away.
Years of combat experience gave this middle-aged man goosebumps.
But once he regained consciousness and realized where he was, he suppressed his instinctive reaction and quickly bowed, saying, "Yes, Lord Mizukage!"
After responding, and seeing that there were no other arrangements,
He slowly stepped back and closed the office door behind him.
"Snap!"
The sound of the lock clicking shut rang out.
After leaving the top floor, the middle-aged man, wearing a vest-style Combat Uniform, leaned against the stair railing, feeling weak all over, and let out a long sigh of relief.
Seeing that no one was around, he angrily slapped himself a few times.
It's because he meddled in his own affairs, and because he was reckless and overconfident!
How could someone as insignificant as him meddle in the affairs of these adults?
Could the Third Mizukage in the office be some kind-hearted person?
It seems he's been living too comfortably since taking power.
This has even caused me to become somewhat complacent about my initial vigilance when I first came to power!
Always remember to keep this position in mind.
Remember clearly the reasons why your exes died!
What's with Blood Mist of Blood Mist Policy? My kids don't need to go to the Ninja Academy anyway.
What does that Blood Mist or Blood Mist have to do with me anymore?
To put it bluntly, the entire Kirigakure has nothing to do with him.
Earning money steadily and using the wages he receives to support his family.
That's what I should be doing most!
After finishing, he moved his lips slightly without making a sound, constantly reminding himself in his heart.
His mind began to replay the scene after the Lord Mizukage took the stage.
How many people have disappeared from this Mizukage Building?
Thinking of those familiar faces, his long-cultivated vigilance resurfaced!
A moment later, following Mizukage's instructions...
A middle-aged man wearing a vest-style Combat Uniform walked down the stairs and knocked on the door of Genji's office!
Upon entering, he relayed the latest orders from the Lord Mizukage behind the table whom he held a liking for.
He very sensibly lowered his head slightly, waiting for the reply from the other side.
Looking at the person who came to deliver the order, he thought about how the person had just recounted the cause of the incident and how the order was issued.
Sitting behind his desk, the middle-aged Genji, dressed in a brown battle suit, immediately furrowed his brows.
"Thump!" After sitting down and listening to the whole story.
A middle-aged man, who had turned a loose-fitting white robe into a tight-fitting suit, slammed his hand on the table, stood up, frowned, and said angrily, "Brother, this is not a place you can go."
"That damn thing..."
