"casual."

"Let's go together. I'll show you how Konoha ninjas fight."

"Yeah!" x3

After the trio responded, Shirahoshi was also looking forward to this match with her good brother, thinking to herself that she had been a special Jonin for two years and wondered if she had made any progress.

The group walked out of Woyan City, one after the other, and arrived in the outskirts of the city, in a forest about one kilometer away.

"Dean, why don't you let us do it?"

Yahiko said in a low voice.

Shirahoshi standing in front of him: "?"

After thinking for a moment, Bai Xing also felt it was good to see the progress of the three, so she said:

"Okay."

"So you're sending three orphaned children to their deaths with us?"

After listening to Hinata Rinka's complete account, Yuhi Ryuun immediately realized that Hinata Rinka might have misunderstood. During the three years following that incident, Shirahoshi had told her about it, but because Hinata Rinka was not with the clan at the time, Yuhi Ryuun had forgotten to tell her.

"We're not children!" Konan retorted, her voice trailing off as she began to tremble. "We're Amegakure ninjas!"

Shirahoshi: ? ? ?

Sure enough, these teenagers were naive and hadn't learned their lesson.

"Ninjas? How did you become ninjas!"

At this moment, the group was speeding through the forest. After hearing this question, Yuhi Ryuun shot a shuriken from his hand, aiming at Shirahoshi's mask.

laugh--

Yahiko gripped the kunai, a symbol of ninjas, and knocked the shuriken away, thus proving his identity as a ninja.

"It was Jiraiya-sensei who taught us!"

After hearing this, Shirahoshi rolled her eyes, thinking to herself that if Jiraiya knew this, he would probably have to thank the three of them.

"The Legendary Sannin, Lord Jiraiya?! How is this possible?!"

In Konoha, only a handful of people actually knew about Jiraiya's teaching of the Amegakure orphans: Danzo even planned to use this information to attack Jiraiya when he ran for Hokage.

But Danzo never expected that Jiraiya would never have considered becoming Hokage, even until his death.

At this moment, Xi Ri Liu Yun looked shocked.

"What's impossible!"

The naive girl wouldn't care about all that. After seeing Shirahoshi and Guren land to her side, Konan knew that this was the right place.

So he rushed towards the direction of the setting sun and drifting clouds, and four paper shurikens began to appear around his body:

"Secret Technique: Paper Shuriken Technique!"

Boo hoo hoo hoo——

Then, as the paper shuriken flew towards her, Shiranui Kumo, who appeared beside her, formed hand seals, aimed at Konan and the flying shuriken, and spat out a thousand shuriken from her mouth.

"Ninpo Senbonsame!"

A single Thousand Needles arrow, after being used by Shiranui Kumo in a hand seal, transformed into a dense sea of ​​Thousand Needles arrows.

Compared to the dozen or so sticks in the previous Chunin Exams, the current number of Thousand Needles Rain is at least a hundred.

Konan panicked upon seeing this. She hadn't expected such a ninjutsu. She crossed her arms, closed her eyes, and waited to die. She didn't have much combat experience and no money to buy the special substitute items from the ninja tool shop.

Furthermore, his paper-based abilities haven't been developed to the point where he can use a substitute.

A substitute item is a practical tool that stores a portion of chakra and can be used temporarily to accelerate the body to its maximum speed.

Seeing that Konan was about to die, Shirahoshi was also observing Nagato and noticed that Nagato was no longer uttering "Ah, ah, ah—", but instead forming hand seals:

"Watch out, Konan! Wind Release: Gale Palm!"

boom--

The power of the C-rank Wind Release: Gale Palm is greater than that of the Wind Release: Great Breakthrough. It is similar to a mass of Wind Release chakra that has been accumulated and formed, which is then spat out all at once.

The C-rank Wind Release breakthrough involves sustained pressure. Initially, the wind force isn't too strong, and it might not be able to deflect projectile attacks. However, mastering the nature transformation of Wind Release chakra can eliminate this weakness.

The sudden appearance of the gale directly changed the trajectory of Senbon's movement, and at the same time, Konan's paper shuriken also moved forward: at this moment, Senbon Rain was almost shot towards Konan's paper shuriken.

laugh! laugh! laugh! laugh!

The paper shuriken is a special paper ninja tool made by Konan, and it made a metallic sound when combined with the senbon of Shiranui's Cloud Realm.

Puff puff--

Immediately afterwards, countless senbon fell to the ground, only about half a meter away from the setting sun and drifting clouds.

Among them, the setting sun and drifting clouds retreated two steps.

Xi Ri Liu Yun crossed his arms, glanced at Yun Jian, and said, "Yun Jian, after all these years, do you think I would still fall for this kind of attack?"

If she hadn't anticipated and taken two steps back, these attacks wouldn't have hit her, and she would have used a substitute long ago.

But what she didn't expect was...

This girl actually didn't use a stunt double; she just foolishly used her bare hands to block it.

"You've made progress, Liu Yun." Bai Xing hadn't seen Liu Yun take action for a long time; the last time was when Liu Yun was preparing to go to the battlefield again: World War II.

Nagato breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Konan was alright. Immediately afterward, Yahiko used a teleportation technique to appear under the tree trunk above and behind Yuhi Ryuun, and then accelerated while holding a kunai: to Yuhi Ryuun, it was very slow.

"Konoha ninja! I'll show you how powerful Yahiko-sama is!"

laugh--

"Wh-what!" Yahiko didn't expect that his attack would be blocked by the ninja sword that Yuhi Ryuun had drawn at some point.

"As expected, you've practiced the swordsmanship I taught you." Bai Xing scratched the side of his mask, thinking to himself that he had only taught him the basics of swordsmanship and casually explained some sword techniques, and he had learned them so easily.

As expected of you.

Honglian, standing nearby, was also thinking to herself how amazing this older sister was, that she could actually block Yahiko's attack.

"Konoha Style Sword Technique: Sakura!"

"What are you saying, woman, about swords and cherry blossoms..."

As soon as Yuri Ryuun finished speaking, Yahiko took a step back, creating some distance, and began to complain.

Then, the sunset clouds in front of them suddenly burst open.

wow——

In Yahiko's vision, the scene before him transformed into countless cherry blossom petals, dazzling his eyes...

No! This is an illusion!

In reality, Konan and Nagato watched as Yahiko remained motionless. Then, the woman with black curly hair sheathed her ninja sword and appeared behind Yahiko in a flash. Her right hand was in a palm strike position, and she instantly struck Yahiko on the back of the neck: the boy immediately fainted.

"Yahiko!" x2

Konan and Nagato charged forward, but Shiranui Kumokazu sighed, landed in front of them, blocked their path, and took out a kunai, saying:

"A ninja from Amegakure?"

"Do you know how cruel it is to inherit the title of ninja? To casually call yourself a ninja is truly ignorant and arrogant."

Shiranui Kumogami would never believe that Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, could train three weak ninjas, and that teaching Amegakure ninjas knowledge would be tantamount to aiding the enemy.

"Get away!"

Countless pieces of paper formed around Konan, gathering together to create a shockwave that hurtled towards the direction of Shiranui's clouds. Then, Nagato used Wind Release again: "Wind Release: Gale Palm!"

The shockwave formed by the spinning paper pieces, combined with Nagato's Wind Release power, accelerated as they attacked Shiranui Kumo.

The next second, Shiranui Unsuke was calmly struck by the attack, her body falling backward and floating in mid-air. Konan and Nagato both revealed smug smiles, but their expressions tightened as they continued to rush towards Yahiko and Yuhi Ryuun's location.

They hadn't run for long.

boom--

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Konan stopped and turned around to see Shiranui Kumogami appear out of nowhere, pressing down on Nagato's back with a kunai held to Nagato's neck. As for the power of the Rinnegan, Nagato is currently only using it unintentionally, and he still cannot see through the movements of ninjas.

Aside from careful perception, the most I can usually see is Shirahoshi's chakra eyes.

"Ah, let me go! Let me go!"

Just as Nagato was about to shout out the third "Ah," Shirahoshi suddenly appeared, interrupting Nagato's spellcasting, and grabbed the back of Shiranui Kumoma's collar, who hadn't reacted yet, and shoved him backward.

The moment Shiranui Kumo was pulled by the force, she realized what was happening, and in mid-air, two shuriken shot towards her.

Whoosh, whoosh—

Tsk, tsk!

The chakra threads pierced precisely through the center ring of the shuriken, stopping both shuriken from advancing.

"Are you alright, Nagato?"

"Dean... Yahiko, Yahiko." In Nagato's sight, Yahiko seemed to have been killed by Yuhi Ryuun, and the other party seemed to have begun searching the body: looking for the Amegakure headband.

"found it."

"So they really are ninjas from Amegakure."

After taking Yahiko's headband from his hand, Yuhi Ryuun drew his ninja sword again: "Then..."

"Now that their identities have been confirmed, we can't hold back."

"I already told you, I can't be wrong about my eye roll."

On the tree trunk, Hinata Suzuka carried Fukuyama Sawa down. Fukuyama Sawa let out a huffy laugh, then said, "Looks like you two can't escape this time."

"However, apart from the Chunin Exams held in your Konoha, this is the first time I've seen Konoha ninjas fighting outside."

"And he's a Jonin."

A subtle, enigmatic glint flashed in Fukuyama Sawa's eyes:

"really."
