Konoha's Mission Master

The ground trembled violently. Jiraiya jumped onto Gamabunta's head, quickly forming hand seals. At the same time, Gamabunta took a deep breath and began to gather the natural energy within his body.

The human and the frog moved in perfect unison, their movements perfectly synchronized.

Fire Release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet!

"Water Release: Water Rush Wave!" Matsushita Shiranui began to run... His hands formed hand seals, and the water he created eventually converged into a river, with waves surging and rolling endlessly.

Jiraiya breathes fire, and Gamabunta spits out oil; the two combine and the flames that had just been extinguished reignite.

The collision of water and fire produces a massive amount of steam.

The battlefield has been divided...

Jiraiya... single-handedly blocked Matsushita Shiranui!

Chapter 122 Killing Matsushita Akira (Please Subscribe)

Within the black and white domain, Sata Sotaro and Matsushita Akira exchanged a glance and quickly erected a chakra barrier on their bodies to block the intrusion of the electric current.

Who are you? Who exactly are you?

Sada Sotaro's pupils dilated, and he raised his voice to question the man, his voice filled with disbelief and rage.

If this mysterious figure hadn't suddenly intruded, they would have had a real chance of surrounding and killing Jiraiya. But with his appearance, the situation completely reversed. Now they were lambs to the slaughter, how could he not be shocked and furious!

Even ants try to survive, and despite knowing that defeat was inevitable, Sada Sotaro and Matsushita Akira were already looking for an opportunity to kill their enemy.

Yakumo remained silent, then charged forward with force, his black and white sword domains moving at high speed as he moved, crashing into Sada Sotaro.

The electric light flowed, dazzling and eye-catching.

Sada Sota is primarily skilled in Water Release and Earth Release ninjutsu, which makes his close combat ability extremely weak. As long as Yakumo can successfully get close enough, he can defeat the enemy in just a few moves.

"You won't succeed!"

Matsushita Akira gripped his ninja sword to block Yakumo's attack. The three weapons clashed and crossed, with silvery-white arcs of electricity flowing and pouring out. Before the sparks from the weapon collision could even bloom, they were engulfed by the silver lightning.

Memories of Matsushita Akira surfaced in Yakumo's mind. He was one of the few geniuses in Kusagakure, who became famous at a young age and became the head of the Expansion Department at a young age.

He is skilled in swordsmanship and the art of grass shadow fluid. He once fought against the young White Fang, holding his own for over a hundred moves, but ultimately suffered a regrettable defeat.

Within Kusagakure Village, Matsushita Akira, due to his control of the external expansion department, developed a strong personality, a love of killing, and was responsible for eliminating internal traitors and hunting down external enemies.

They especially enjoy fighting with others and massacring villages.

Matsushita Akira's act of protecting Sada Sotaro was not because the two had a good relationship, but mainly because they were now in the same boat. If Sada Sotaro was killed, then Matsushita Akira would be next.

With two weapons in hand, Yakumo has more possibilities and variations in battle. For example, he is currently using the Jade Jewel to block Matsushita Akira's attack, while Fuma is looking for an opportunity to severely injure him.

"Earth Release: Earth Rising Spear!"

Matsushita Akira stepped aside, and Sada Sotaro slapped the ground with both hands. Dense, sharp rock spikes began to grow from the ground beneath Yakumo's feet, attacking Yakumo.

"drink."

"Waltz!"

Yakumo took a half step forward, brandishing his twin swords and biting down on Matsushita Akira, while the ground spikes spread and grew, heading straight for Yakumo's body.

However, when the spikes actually got close, they were instantly shattered by the two ninja swords. The round dance, relying on its extremely high skill and abundant chakra, formed a near-perfect defensive barrier.

Yakumo advanced, slashing horizontally with her twin swords, shattering the rock spikes in an instant. Her footwork, breathing, and the flow of chakra presented a harmonious and perfect unity.

The blade was always pointed at Matsushita Akira's throat and heart, no matter what obstacles lay ahead...

…Splitter them all with a blade!

Forward, forward, until the enemy is killed!

This is the true secret of the Hatake clan, the essence of the Hatake clan for thousands of years, the most advanced ninjutsu and taijutsu in the ninja world. Matsushita Akira was constantly forced back by Yakumo.

His face gradually turned terrified... He was once again utterly crushed by the human body in terms of swordsmanship.

"What is your relationship with Sakumo Hatake!?"

Matsushita Akira exclaimed in surprise. Yakumo's attack reminded him of that painful past. Many years ago, in Konoha Village... during the Chunin Exams... he was mercilessly crushed by Hatake Sakumo.

Yakumo remained silent.

That's it...that's it...

"Sakumo Hatake..."

Why are you so... persistent!?

Matsushita… asked in a shrill voice.

A look of terror flashed in his eyes…

His moves had become extremely chaotic, and a sense of powerlessness welled up in Matsushita Akira's heart once again.

In his memory, Sakumo Hatake's steps, breathing, and moves seemed to be connected and unified, just like now. No matter what blocked his way, it would be cut off with a single swing of his sword... as if he would only stop when his own throat was completely severed.

He survived that battle...

But his pride and integrity were shattered by Sakumo Hatake…

In full view of everyone…

Cut it off completely!!!

Yakumo's eyes lit up slightly. At this moment, Matsushita Akira's panic gave him an opportunity to win. He was a close-combat expert and a master swordsman, and his greatest skill was seizing the opportunity when there was an opening.

The body spins, and the centrifugal force increases the power of the slash!

Silvery-white arcs of electricity, like armor, covered his body as Yakumo increased his speed once again, leaving behind a silver afterimage.

Spin...a perfect crescent moon slash!

"Open the heavens!"

The technique shifted, and the Circus Domain shattered.

The black and white millstones disappeared.

But Matsushita Akira had no time to be surprised. He was already overwhelmed by the powerful pressure, and his body had no time to react before the domineering slash came down.

"I hate it so much!"

"I...I...am not...willing!" Matsushita Akira struggled to speak.

His death seemed inevitable.

"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"

At the critical moment, Sada Sotaro slammed his hands on the ground, and a yellowish-brown wall suddenly rose between the two of them, about three meters high and fifty centimeters thick. This rock wall temporarily blocked Yakumo's slash.

"drink."

Yakumo's arm muscles bulged as he continuously channeled chakra into Fuma, without dodging or retreating... only charging forward, his blade slicing through the air and emitting a deep dragon's roar.

brush…

The stone wall was cut straight through!

Yakumo was filled with fighting spirit, his hands wielding the blades in rapid rotation.

"Open the heavens!"

Each strike was stronger than the last, each strike faster than the last.

The blade will only stop moving after it has successfully slain an enemy.

"Earth Release: Earth Rising Spear!"

Born from rocky jungles, growing wildly.

In an attempt to halt Yakumo's advance, Yakumo strolled leisurely, his longsword wielded methodically.

Swah——

Large swaths of spikes were cut off.

"Damn it..." Matsushita Akira regained his composure.

They began their counterattack.

"Grass Shadow Style: Secret Sword Technique: Shadow Tiger!"

Matsushita Akira swung his sword, and blue water-style chakra surged, increased, decreased, and expanded rapidly on the blade... ultimately outlining a phantom of a roaring tiger, which roared loudly.

"This is a move I spent ten years developing!"

His proud shriek... and a smile spread across his face.

He is no longer the boy who was utterly defeated in the Chunin Exams; he is the future master of Kusagakure.

Today he will defeat the mysterious man before him, just as he had defeated Hatake Sakumo in his heart once, so that he can pick up his broken spine and pride again!

On the other side, Sada Sotaro continued to infuse chakra into the earth, controlling the growth and spread of the rock spear.

With their combined strength... they can contend with Yakumo!

"Rebellion - Shaking Blade!"

Yakumo drew his short sword again, adopting a defensive stance.

This was his first defensive action since the start of the war…

Ding!

With an extremely crisp sound, the three weapons clashed.

Matsushita Akira roared and exerted his power, while Sada Sotaro increased his chakra output, and stone spears, resembling a rocky jungle, grew rapidly.

With a loud bang, the rock spikes shattered, and Matsushita Akira was forced back, but his eyes became incredibly crazed.

"Die!" Matsushita Akira's expression gradually turned ferocious.

A deep blue tiger reappears, its cruel howl echoing...

"Grass Shadow Style - Secret Sword Technique - Shadow Tiger Style".

Earth Release: Breaking Army Stone Spear!

On the other hand, Sada Sotaro gathered a stone spear about two meters long between his hands and spun it rapidly... around four small rock cones that were half a meter long.
