He was in Konoha, exuding an aura of dominance.

You'll lead the charge later.

Although everyone had doubts, wandering ninjas were a group of desperate people, and it was normal for them to grit their teeth and get to work when they had a mission with a high reward.

The reputation of the five great ninja villages is commendable, especially since Iwagakure is the one who provided the funding this time. It wouldn't be difficult for anyone with a keen eye to find out this. Iwagakure has extensive experience in hiring ninjas to do work, and they are not afraid of being discarded after the work is done.

The world of ninjas is magical, filled with assassinations, murders, wars... all sorts of acts that disrupt order, but most ninjas value their reputation.

After all, what would the ninjas eat if no one gave them missions?

Chapter 42 What Anesthesia

As dusk fell, everyone inside the cabin prepared for battle.

The Uchiha ninjas were eager to try, arming themselves with all sorts of ninja tools. Uchiha ninjas could go out without carrying anything else, but they had to be fully equipped with ninja tools, adopting a "rich man's" fighting style.

Sakumo Hatake's setup was much simpler, with just a short white dagger; Minato Namikaze, on the other hand, had a standard set of ninja tools.

Pharmacist Nonou carefully arranged the bottles and jars; she was able to rush to this town after being exposed thanks to these things.

Compared to their busy schedules, Wu Shixian had a much easier time.

The wind vanishes without a trace.

Real-world experience is the sole criterion for testing truth.

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

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

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

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 shortcuts, 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, Wuju had some doubts.

Logically speaking, Kakuzu should have been working as a bounty hunter by now. Iwagakure has been hiring bounty hunters for years, and this time they've gone all out. There's no reason why he wouldn't come.

Ishigaki expressed his regret about this.

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

She glanced at the serious-looking Pharmacist Nono.

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

"Lord White Fang."

Uchiha Itsukushima 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 go first. The Uchiha squad will spread out to engage the enemy. Isogen and Minato will observe and attack from behind. Breaking through is the top priority!"

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

!

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

"It's a shadow clone!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than several screams pierced the night sky.

White Fang easily sliced ​​open the neck, and with a ripping sound, blood splattered.

The Uchiha's fire release techniques shone brightly under the night sky, leaving behind a charred corpse with each strike.

Does that mean fire-style techniques can't kill people?

The Uchiha clan vindicated Fire Release!

The wandering ninja was no different from a weak baby in front of a proper Uchiha elite.

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

Several wandering ninjas hurriedly dodged upon seeing this.

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

This is the taste!

Uchiha Aoyan's body trembled, and he looked excited.

These oddballs are no match for the real elites of the ninja world. Even Minato Namikaze, who graduated from the ninja academy just 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.

The brutal battle unfolded under the watchful gaze of the Moon Goddess.

Compared to his teammate Isugen, who was busy deciding who was the best laner, it was as if he was on vacation.

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

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

While their companions are working hard, they are having a spring outing and picnic. Isn't this also a form of picnic?

It's all the fault of those wandering ninjas!

If they are strong enough to help them achieve something, they can enjoy 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-normal 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.

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

Yakushi Nonou looked at the layer of luminous green and said with a slight hesitation.

Ishigaki 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 unruly people.

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

That experience was second only to the traumatic experience at the root 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 cure all surgeries, do you?"

"No, that's not true." 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 themselves... Hmm?

"What is anesthesia?!"

boom!

A loud bang shattered the town's peaceful night.

Fifty strings rolled their eyes.

"Wow, the wandering ninja actually dared to use explosive tags."

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

"They're really a bunch of useless people; they can't even stall for time."

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

"Alright, stop arguing. Let's finish this quickly. We're not far from the Land of Rain."

The leader, Iwagakure, issued a warning.

Everyone fell silent, their expressions serious.

They didn't know who the target of this mission was, but those who came here to carry out the mission had to know the terror of the demigods of the Rain Kingdom.

The team moved forward in silence.

"coming."

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

Yakushi Nonou looked nervous, her hands clenching involuntarily.

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

The town was now completely deserted after the massacre, with every household locked up and the hired wandering ninjas almost all perished under Sakumo Hatake's White Fang short blade.

Ichigen was very curious about the reactions of the Iwagakure members when they saw White Fang.

"It's White Fang's knife!"

With the ninjas' high mobility, they could cover several kilometers in an instant. Just as the Iwagakure had 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.

The thought arose.

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

"Everyone, execute 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, deciding to leave him with a complete corpse 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 enjoyed this treatment.
