He was in Konoha, and his domineering aura was overflowing.

Under the omnipresent wind, Fifty Strings saw the gathered crowd.

As chakra continued to flow in, their forms began to appear.

Good news, I didn't see any acquaintances.

Bad news, I didn't see anyone I knew.

Not having acquaintances means not being able to use information from the original work to take advantage of others, but compared to this minor issue, not having familiar powerful figures is actually a good thing for the team that is about to break through.

However, I have some doubts about the fifty strings.

Logically speaking, the corner of the city should have already started bounty hunting by now. Rock Hidden Village has been employing bounty hunters for years, and this time they've gone all out. There's no reason why they wouldn't come.

The 50-string manga expressed his regret over this.

If such a powerful expert of the Shadow level doesn't come, where will the missing piece of soil for the display of the will of the overlord be filled?

She glanced at the serious-looking Pharmacist Nono.

Fine, if he doesn't come, he doesn't come. I can just search for him all over the world later.

"Lord White Fang."

Uchiha Genjima nodded to Hatake Sakumo.

Sakumo Hatake opened his eyes, his sharp, eagle-like gaze seeming to have spotted a rabbit hopping across the grassland.

"I'll lead the charge later. The Uchiha squad will spread out to engage the enemy. Isogen and Minato will stay back to observe and make their moves. Breaking through is our top priority!"

As the first foot stepped out of the wooden house door.

Whoosh!

Countless shuriken, kunai, and senbon rained down. When the first senbon pierced the target, a loud bang was heard and the figure vanished into smoke.

"It's a shadow clone!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than several screams ripped through the night sky.

With a swift, white fang, the neck was sliced ​​open, and blood splattered everywhere.

The Uchiha's fire-style techniques shone brilliantly in the night sky, leaving behind a charred corpse with each strike.

Are you saying that fire-style techniques can't kill people?

The Uchiha clan vindicated the Fire Release technique!

The roaming ninja was no different from a weak infant in front of a proper Uchiha elite.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!" Uchiha Aoen unleashed his hand speed honed through years of practice, puffing out his cheeks as a scorching fireball the size of a person flew out.

The wandering ninjas hurriedly dodged when they saw this.

Suddenly a strong night wind arose, and flames burst forth, instantly catching up with them and burning them to a crisp.

This is the taste!

Uchiha Aoyan Tiger's body trembled, his expression excited.

In front of the real elite ninjas, this bunch of oddballs are no match at all. Even Minato Namikaze, who only graduated from the ninja academy a year ago, can hold his own against several adult ninjas and occasionally seize an opportunity to take them down.

The difference between a regular army and an unorthodox one is obvious.

A brutal killing unfolded under the watchful gaze of the goddess Uzuki.

Compared to his companion Igarashi, who was in the midst of a battle to determine who would be the first to fight, it was as if he was on vacation.

I followed Yakushi Nonou around, stopping and going as she pleased.

Minato Namikaze even saw him take an apple candy from the storage scroll that Mizuki Hyuga had given him.

While your companions are working hard, you're having a spring outing and picnic – isn't that a form of picnic too?

It's all the fault of those wandering ninjas!

If they are strong enough to benefit me, I can enjoy their personalized one-on-one family delivery service!

Thanks to the law that ninjas die when they are killed, as long as they are not super-standard life forms, it is no more difficult for Hatake Sakumo and his group to deal with these people than cutting melons and vegetables.

Not to mention the fluorescent green glow emanating from them right now.

"Is that... the Palm Healing Technique?"

Looking at the layer of translucent green, Yakushi Nonou said with a slight hesitation.

Isogen nodded: "The improved Palm Healing Technique has been praised by all the villagers of Konoha who have tried it, and there have been zero complaints to date."

"That's amazing." Yakushi Nonou exclaimed in surprise.

She had also studied at Konoha Hospital and had a deep understanding of the character of those troublemakers.

It's hard for a normal person to imagine someone complaining because they suspect a hospital is taking patients' bones home to make soup.

That experience was second only to the traumatic experience in her memory.

"Such a powerful palm technique doesn't even require time to administer anesthesia to the patient."

"Anesthesia? What kind of anesthesia?"

"You don't actually use medical ninjutsu to heal all your surgeries, do you?"

“No.” Isogen shook his head.

Yakushi Nonou breathed a sigh of relief. Although the number of times her cells could divide was limited, under normal circumstances, they could still heal on their own... Hmm?

"What is anesthesia?!"

boom!

A loud bang shattered the tranquility of the town's night.

Fifty strings rolled their eyes.

"Wow, a wandering ninja is actually willing to use explosive tags."

At that moment, the ninja squad, which was still several miles away in their perception, began to move.

"As expected, they're a bunch of useless trash; they can't even buy time."

"Don't be too harsh on wandering ninjas, and judging from the situation, the ones coming from the other side are no ordinary people either."

"Alright, stop arguing and get this over with quickly. We're not far from the Land of Rain."

The leader, Yan Yin, issued a warning.

Everyone fell silent, their expressions serious.

They didn't know who their target was, but anyone coming here to carry out a mission had to know the terror of the demigods of the Rain Kingdom.

The procession moved forward in silence.

"They're here."

Suddenly, Wu Xian spoke, his voice carried by the wind into the ears of his companions.

Pharmacist Nonou looked tense, her hands clenching involuntarily.

The days of fleeing had instilled a sense of tension in her instinctively.

The town was now deserted after the massacre, with every household locked up. Of the hired wandering ninjas, only one in ten survived under Sakumo Hatake's White Fang short blade.

Fifty Strings was very curious about the reactions of those hidden rocks when they saw White Fang.

"It's White Fang's knife!"

With the high mobility of ninjas, they covered several kilometers in the blink of an eye. Just as Iwagakure arrived at the battlefield, ready to make a big splash, a sharp-eyed Jonin recognized the bleeding 'White Fang' and screamed in alarm.

You can tell from the sound that this person is afraid of white teeth.

I got scammed.

This thought arose.

After the initial shock, he gritted his teeth and stomped his foot.

"Everyone, carry out the mission!"

So what if he's Konoha's White Fang? Every ninja will die!

I'm not even afraid of the Jinchūriki in my village, so why would I be afraid of you!

Wow, your will to dominate is quite strong.

Isogen nodded in satisfaction at the man and decided to leave him with a complete body later.

Incidentally, before the mature stage of Minato Namikaze, no one in the ninja world had ever been allowed to abandon a mission.

Even Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha never received this treatment.

Hashirama Senju will laugh and joke with you, while Madara Uchiha will only use Susanoo.

This honor was only bestowed upon Minato Namikaze, who later became famous for his Flying Thunder God Technique, which intimidated the ninja world.

Suddenly, several strong chakra auras entered his senses.

Chapter 43 The Trail of White Zetsu

Judging from the chakra reaction, it was Root ninjas who arrived.

Knowing who someone is through their chakra is a sign of precise control over chakra.

Chakra was originally intended as a tool to connect people's hearts.

Compared to other Root ninjas, their chakra is highly distinctive.

Thanks to Danzo's control over his subordinates, every ninja who officially joined Root was sealed and brainwashed. Chakra is the power that reflects the mind, a product of the mixture of spirit and body. If you put a Root ninja with a missing piece of his mind next to a normal ninja, anyone sensitive to chakra can find something wrong.

None of the Root ninjas present were weak; their chakra reflexes were all around that of a Special Jonin.

Although not weak, the one-eyed dragon's intelligence was not at the peak of the kunai-wielding Susanoo in later generations. Moreover, this time the team also included four Uchiha elites and himself, who had killed two of his special forces members.

Well, judging from the situation, those two special Jonin back then were probably commoner special Jonin, so the ones who came this time probably aren't.

Danzo was a Kage-level powerhouse at his peak, capable of going toe-to-toe with Hiruzen Sarutobi. He wouldn't have thought that such a method could defeat the terrifyingly powerful White Fang of Konoha.

That was the ultimate insult to his own intelligence.

It seems the two groups are about to join forces.

Inform Xingshu of the message to remove the root.

Sakumo Hatake made a decisive statement: "Don't get entangled. Our goal is to break through."

The wandering ninjas have all been killed.

The facts proved that weak, wandering ninjas could never compare to the elite Jonin of the great ninja villages. Those who could be compared were either masters of special skills or masters of special skills who came from the great ninja villages.

The rock hiders, knowing that reinforcements were about to arrive, were immediately energized.

He's just the White Fang of Konoha, right? We could take him down with just one of our ninjutsu techniques!

Close-quarters combat is a huge disadvantage when faced with long-range ninjutsu attacks!

Whoosh!

Sakumo Hatake calmly sliced ​​open the neck of an Iwahime with his white dagger.

I don't understand what you're saying.

Sakumo Hatake is actually a lightning-fast ninja, just like Minato after he mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique.

His high mobility, coupled with his unparalleled swordsmanship, made him invincible. If it weren't for the pursuers behind him and the fact that his main mission was to bring the spies back to the village, he could have single-handedly cut through this twenty-man Rock Shadow team.

Hearing his companion's screams, Tu Shi broke out in a cold sweat.

I can't see it clearly, I can't see it at all.

Before he could even unleash his ninjutsu, the White Fang of Konoha, renowned throughout the ninja world for his incredible speed and swordsmanship, Sakumo Hatake was already dodged by Hatake's prediction. To make matters worse, Hatake was not alone; the elite Uchiha ninjas were equally fierce, making it impossible for them to even surround and trap him.

Damn it, what happened to the Uchiha ninja's arrogance?!
