Using Lightning Release: Lightning Ring Wall, Shin'un and his companions, protected by the lightning barrier, used the resulting lightning ring to launch a surprise attack and successfully break through the Sand Ninja's encirclement.

"Whoosh~"

The four used Body Flicker Technique to get away from the Sand Ninja as quickly as possible and headed out of the town.

During the journey, Hatake Sakumo turned his head to look at the sparrow behind him.

"Sparrow, fire the signal flare to alert the ninjas remaining outside town to prepare to depart."

The sparrow nodded to indicate that it understood, then took out a signal flare, pointed it to the sky, and pulled the fuse.

"Squeak~"

With a sharp sound, a red firework appeared in the sky.

Seeing that the signal flare had been successfully launched, the group fell silent and continued on their way.

Soon, the group reached the wall at the edge of the town.

Without hesitation, these ninjas could easily leap over a wall of this height with a single high jump.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!~!"

The group ran to the base of the wall and jumped outwards, their speed creating a hissing sound as they leaped through the air.

Just then, as the group's figures came into view, several cold glints suddenly rose from the concealed parts of the wall, rushing towards them with murderous intent.

Upon seeing this, Shin'un was startled and realized that the Sand Ninja had left guards outside the town's walls.

With a quick glance, Shin'un's keen observation skills came into play, and he spotted a group of ninjas at the base of the wall.

Shin'un a sigh of relief upon seeing the view.

Fortunately, the enemy only left a Jonin here, so they couldn't delay us for too long.

Moreover, the opponent's only Jonin to his own mortality, attacked Hatake Sakumo was standing in front of Shin'un.

Given Hatake Sakumo's strength, Shin'un naturally didn't need to worry about Jonin Jonin's sneak attack.

Turning his gaze, Shin'un noticed that the other two Chunin this squad were attacking him and Sparrow on the other side, respectively.

Seeing the Chunin attacking him with a Chunin expression, Shin'un had no intention of holding back.

Behind them were a large number of Sand Ninja; any attempt to delay could result in them being caught up.

Once they are bogged down inside the Land of Wind, the continuous stream of Sand Ninja reinforcements will be enough to wear down any powerful individual.

As thoughts raced through his mind, Shin'un, suspended in mid-air, Hand Seals, lightning crackling around him, preparing to unleash his full power and end the battle swiftly.

Three years of training enabled Shin'un's Lightning Release skills to improve by leaps and bounds.

Shin'un can now unleash most of the Lightning Release Ninjutsu he knows within three hand seals. Coupled with his outstanding hand Hand Seals speed, he can handle most emergencies using Ninjutsu.

Lightning Release: Lightning Spear!

Countless violent electric currents enveloped Shin'un's right arm. The originally disordered currents gradually took shape under control, and a thick spear made of lightning appeared on Shin'un's right arm.

This is a modified version of Lightning Release: False Darkness by Shin'un. The original method of condensing outside the body has been changed to exist on the right forearm, and the piercing power of the Lightning Spear has been specially enhanced. It is more powerful than Lightning Release: False Darkness, while the Chakra consumption is only half of the original.

It is one of the highest single-target attack Ninjutsu among the Lightning Release Ninjutsu that Shin'un has modified or developed so far, and it is also extremely cost-effective.

"Sizzle~"

Wielding a thick, lightning-infused spear, its entire body radiating a bluish-purple light that shone on Shin'un's face, casting shadows on his features and making him appear unpredictable.

Seeing the Sand Ninja just entering his attack range, Shin'un swung his right arm, sending the Lightning Spear, which was as long as a person, extending from his arm, thrusting it towards the Sand Ninja.

With the Sand Ninja's reflexes, he was completely unable to dodge and was immediately hit by the Lightning Spear.

Like ice and snow melting away, the arm of the Sand Ninja who was raising Kunai attack Shin'un vanished instantly, along with the spot on his chest where the Lightning Spear had struck him, immediately revealing a large, gaping hole.

The Sand Ninja felt a blinding flash of light, and the arm holding the Kunai vanished instantly, leaving a large hole in his body.

"Ah?"

With a confused cry, the Sand Ninja lost consciousness while still in mid-air.

In mid-air, Shin'un and the unconscious bodies of the Sand Ninja flashed past each other.

Upon landing, Shin'un turned to look at the location of Hatake Sakumo ahead.

He had never seen Hatake Sakumo's fighting style before, so he couldn't help but be curious.

"Ho~"

Seeing a real-life flash of light from a knife for the first time in his life, Shin'un couldn't help but sigh in amazement.

Hatake Sakumo held the White Fang Tantō and, using some secret technique, extended a silver-white illusory blade about one meter long from the tip of the White Fang's sharp edge.

As Hatake Sakumo brandished his blade, the illusory blade extending from the White Fang sliced through the air, leaving streaks of silver-white light in the void that lingered for a long time.

At the same time, it was clearly made of Chakra, and the silver-white blade that extended out of the real blade had an unparalleled sharpness.

Just as Shin'un turned to look, Hatake Sakumo used his extremely sharp silver-white blade, combined with his masterful Body Flicker Technique, to cut off the Sand Ninja's arm along with the Kunai he was trying to block.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Seeing this, Shin'un was secretly alarmed; the Kunai something that could be easily cut.

"With such a sharp blade, I'm afraid I'm no match for him in close combat."

"However, why haven't we seen such amazing swordsmanship in Kakashi later on?"

Shin'un was somewhat puzzled.

The thought had barely formed in Shin'un's mind when he saw the Sunagakure Jonin, now missing an arm Jonin to resist. The next second, White Fang severed his head, and he died on the spot.

Shin'un kept counting the time to prevent the battle from dragging on.

He Chunin two seconds to defeat the Sunagakure, while Hatake Sakumo Jonin.

As expected, Konoha White Fang lived up to his reputation; he was indeed a formidable figure.

Shin'un looked at Que and saw that her battle with the last remaining Sand Ninja was about to end, which put his mind at ease.

Turning around, Shin'un looked at the distant town behind him.

As you can see, the Sand Ninja who were held back by his large lightning ring have recovered and are now rushing towards us, looking somewhat disheveled.

Shin'un narrowed his eyes slightly upon seeing this.

Thinking that the lightning spear that killed a Chunin on his right arm had not yet dissipated, in order not to waste Chakra, he simply raised his arm, gathered his strength for a moment, and threw the Lightning Spear in his hand directly at the large group of Sand Ninja in the distance.

This was very simple for Shin'un.

The basic Lightning Release: Lightning Spear requires the arm to exist and does not have the ability to be thrown at a distance. However, this Ninjutsu was modified by Shin'un from Lightning Release: False Darkness.

With his familiarity with the two Ninjutsu, Shin'un only needs to change the way he circulates his Chakra to throw the Lightning Spear in his hand. At most, the Lightning Spear modified in this way will be much less powerful than the original.

It may seem complicated, but it can actually be accomplished simply by understanding its underlying principles and having precise Chakra control.

"Whoosh!"

In Shin'un's view, the Lightning Spear he had thrown quickly flew away, heading towards the large group of Sand Ninja chasing after them from afar.

Unfortunately, the attack range was too long. Although the Lightning Spear was fast, it was spotted by the Sand Ninja halfway through its journey and ended up hitting a rooftop, failing to hit anyone.

Fortunately, the Lightning Spear was essentially formed from condensed electricity, and it immediately disintegrated upon hitting the ground, turning into countless electric currents that ravaged the surrounding area, managing to injure at least one or two Sand Ninja nearby.

Shin'un was pleased to see this. Throwing the Lightning Spear was essentially a secondary use of Lightning Release: Lightning Spear, consuming no extra Chakra. It was a pleasant surprise that it could even injure a Sand Ninja.
