Traveling through Naruto with Heroes of Might and Magic.

Qingwu immediately charged towards the Iwa ninja, seemingly intending to take on 30 opponents at once...

"Oh?"

Suma Shi turned to look at Qingwu's figure, "Kari, this guy is even more arrogant than you."

"Humph!"

Hunti took a step forward, grinned maliciously, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

The explosive tags on his right arm hissed as they ignited, and he slammed his fist into the ground: "Explosive Release: Landmine Fist!"

It's still the same old trick.

They just repelled Kakashi's attack.

however……

Qingwu raised his hand, "Earth Release: Yellow Springs Swamp!"

While chanting "Netherworld Swamp," he was actually casting an instant-cast earth-type spell, "Slow Spell."

Then, circles with vine-like patterns enveloped all the Iwa ninja.

All the Iwa ninja within range felt their bodies and chakra become completely sluggish, and even Suma Shi's ability to speak slowed down.

"No...no...!" Suma Shi ordered, "Scatter...!"

Qingwu fired a [Magic Arrow] at the oncoming hunter, and then, without even checking the effect, summoned 30 wood spirits.

The wood elves look slightly different from before.

To be precise, it should now be called "Great Elf," a unit that Qingwu upgraded within the [Magic Tower].

More refined light armor, more powerful bows and arrows, and... the most significant change—when rapid fire is triggered, there is an extra shadow arrow behind the arrow.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"

The intense ranged attacks inflicted heavy losses on the unsuspecting Iwa ninja in a single encounter.

More than twenty Iwa ninjas lay dead in pools of blood.

"..."

"..."

"..."

The entire audience was shocked.

No one expected that this unassuming Konoha ANBU member wearing an 'elephant face' mask would suddenly unleash such powerful attack capabilities.

"boom!"

Hunt's Explosion Release blasted the arrows and magical arrows aimed at him into energy fragments.

He and Suma Shi led the remaining Iwa ninja out of the "Swamp of the Dead"'s control area, their faces full of surprise and doubt.

"Who exactly are you?" Suma Shi's voice was sharp and strained.

In just one encounter, he had lost more than half of his men. This "elephant-faced" operative was now nothing less than a devil in his eyes.

Qingwu did not reply, but issued the command to control the great spirit to begin the second round of scattering.

At the same time, 30 centaurs appeared on the field and launched a full-speed charge without any adjustment.

No, at this point they should be called the centaur leader!

Both are upgraded units, but the difference is that the reddish-brown horses have turned white, making them stronger, faster, with longer spears, and better suited for charging.

"careful!"

Suma Shi commands the remaining Iwa ninja to unleash a combined ninjutsu: "Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"

"Boom boom boom—!"

The combined earthen wall successfully blocked the arrows.

However, the centaur leader nimbly bypassed the earthen wall, taking on one enemy at a time.

"Puff puff……"

Apart from Kari and Suma Shi, all the remaining Iwa ninja were killed in action!

"Damn it, Explosion Release—"

Before the enraged Hunter could use his Explosion Release, Qingwu had already recalled the "fragile" centaur.

Combining close and long-range attacks, the first wave of assault ended with... a gratifying result!

"Ahhh-"

Hunt burst out from behind the earthen wall, his spiky hair standing on end. "You brat, prepare to die!"

"Explosive Release: Pressure Fist!"

He transformed into a blur and pounced on Qingwu, the air seeming to explode wherever his fist struck.

"careful!"

Kakashi was the first to recover from the shock, quickly forming hand seals: "Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"

A mud wall with a dog's head on it rose up in front of Qingwu.

"boom--"

The hastily constructed earth wall was no match for the Explosion Release Hunter.

As Qingwu retreated using the shockwave, he instantly unleashed another "magic arrow".

"Ninjutsu without hand seals, huh!"

Hunt vanished from the spot in an instant.

After so many battles, Qingwu realized that his current strength was really suited for "smashing fish"!

In other words, those "small fry" whose strength is below that of a Jonin are simply no match for his combined ranged and melee attacks.

However, against a Jonin-level opponent, even with instant-cast magic, defeating him wouldn't be easy if he didn't reveal his Tier 4 Pegasus unit for the time being.

Jonin! Those who can become Jonin in various ninja villages are all powerful ninjas with no obvious weaknesses in their overall strength.

“His Explosion Release is effective against close combat, so he can deal with it from a distance.” Kakashi stepped forward and stood side by side with Qingwu.

"Gari, come back!" Suma Shi unleashed his long-prepared ninjutsu: "Earth Release: Earth Split Palm!"

He slapped the earthen hill behind him.

"Boom!"

The canyon cracked open, and countless boulders fell from above, crashing down on the carriage and everyone around.

"Wood Release·Tree Boundary Wall!"

Tenzo unleashed all his chakra, and a giant shield made of multiple wooden vines rapidly grew from the ground.

"hound!"

Qingwu summoned all the dwarves just in case, then shouted to Kakashi, "They might try to escape in the chaos."

Kakashi saw that Tenzo's Wood Release technique was temporarily able to block the continuously falling boulders, and the dwarf summoned by Qingwu was also helping with a warhammer.

He made a quick decision: "Tenzo, Fox, protect the Hokage! Elephant, follow me in pursuit!"

The two rushed out of the Earth Release's attack range and found that Kari and Suma had indeed disappeared.

They exchanged a glance, and Qingwu said, "Let's split up and chase them!"

Kakashi hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Qingwu's combat prowess is already comparable to that of a Jonin.

"Whizzing!"

The two pursued him from opposite directions.

Just then, seeing that Tenzo's Wood Release technique was about to give way, an aged voice came from inside the carriage: "Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"

A dragon head made of chakra rose from the ground.

The dense barrage of earth dragon projectiles shattered the massive rocks falling from above, and the debris was then easily blocked by the tree barrier of Tianzang...

Chapter 72 The Pursuit, Kakashi in Danger

It is located six kilometers northeast of the ambush site.

Hunting stopped in his tracks, a sinister smile spreading across his face. "You still dare to chase after me?"

Suma Shi placed his hand on the ground and sensed: "There is only one chakra."

Shou suddenly turned around: "Kill him, and make Konoha pay the price."

Those who dare to pursue must be powerful ninjas. Hunting, unwilling to accept the mission's failure, was filled with murderous intent.

Suma Shi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay!"

He is usually quite rational, but considering the losses from this mission and the reprimand from the Tsuchikage upon his return, he decided to seek revenge.

"I'll set the trap."

Hunt was clearly not as manic and mindless as he appeared. He observed the terrain and quickly set up explosive tags.

A moment later...

Kari turned around and looked at Kakashi, who was chasing after him, a smile playing on his lips.

Suma Shih hid in the shadows to lull the opponent into a false sense of security, and with the addition of explosive tag traps, the two Jonin devised a battle plan in a very short time.

Looking at the dog-face mask on Kakashi's face, Kari mocked, "Konoha's lackey, this time I won't let you get away so easily."

Kakashi looked around but couldn't find any trace of the other person.

He touched his collar and realized that his communicator had been lost in the previous battle...

'I hope Qingwu can arrive as soon as possible,' Kakashi thought to himself, otherwise he wasn't confident he could keep an elite Jonin by himself.

If they couldn't find anyone after chasing them for more than ten kilometers, they would go and rejoin their teammates. This was also part of the Shadow Guard's training course.
