The ninja who jumped down from above was about thirty or forty years old. He was holding a kunai in his hand and rushed towards Nawaki at an extremely fast speed!

Upon witnessing this scene, Hatake Sakumo immediately drew the White Fang short sword from his back and turned to face the ninja. However, just as he turned around, he heard an ominous voice from behind him!

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"

The Great Dragon Fire Technique is an upgraded version of the Dragon Fire Technique. It is a B-rank ninjutsu. Its effect is to spew out a giant fire dragon more than ten meters long from the mouth, which rushes towards the enemy at an extremely fast speed and causes a huge explosion!

In that instant, Team 10 was caught in a dilemma. Kobayashi Ruri was not good at fighting and had only learned one ninjutsu so far. Senju Nawaki broke the formation and was caught off guard and was about to be killed!

If I choose to save Senju Nawaki, the immense destructive power of the Great Dragon Fire Technique could very well kill Uchiha Aki and Kobayashi Ruri.

However, if he chose to use ninjutsu to resist the Great Dragon Fire Technique, then Senju Nawaki would naturally be in a situation where he would die. The team that was carrying out a high-difficulty mission for the first time was still too inexperienced compared to the wandering ninjas who had been living on the edge of death for many years.

"give it to me!"

Just as Hatake Sakumo was forced to choose between two options, Shen Qiu suddenly shouted and, to the astonishment of the opposing ninja, rapidly formed hand seals!

"Water Release·Exploding Water Wave!"

Hand seals are a key factor in measuring a ninja's strength in Naruto. At the same speed, the more hand seals you can form, the more ninjutsu you can use.

Kakashi Hatake and Itachi Uchiha are examples of beings who can stand out in the entire ninja world, with the former having four hand seals per second and the latter having six hand seals per second!

As for Shen Qiu, he doesn't even need to form hand seals—because his bloodline as the Void Prophet gives him a certain affinity for all magical powers, and combined with his original magician aptitude, he can use ninjutsu instantly.

However, now is not the time to expose too much of yourself; you still need to be more restrained when necessary.

"what!"

The ninja behind Sakumo clearly hadn't expected Shen Qiu to use a B-rank ninjutsu so quickly. Water is the natural enemy of fire, and with Shen Qiu deliberately increasing his chakra levels, the man was instantly propelled dozens of meters away by the burst of water!

Meanwhile, the ninja who was originally attacking Senju Nawaki had to put away his kunai after seeing Sakumo arrive. He then threw out two explosive tags and quickly retreated.

With two loud explosions and bursts of fire, the enemy's first offensive came to a temporary halt.

Rope Tree was clearly not expecting that his actions would trigger such a huge chain reaction. He was stunned for a moment and couldn't recover for a long time.

"The enemy hasn't gone far, don't get distracted!"

Sakumo Hatake's words were very intimidating. Senju Nawaki and Kobayashi Ruri, who had been panicking just now, reacted after hearing his words, and the group rearranged their formation.

"Feel sorry..."

At this moment, Rope Tree also realized that he had almost caused a disaster because of his mistake. Fortunately, Shen Qiu reacted quickly enough to help everyone escape a disaster, and he himself was also very annoyed.

"Don't rush to apologize, focus your attention first."

In fact, if it weren't for protecting them, Sakumo Hatake was fully confident he could defeat these ninjas single-handedly. In fact, many Jonin leading a team faced this problem.

They had to fight, but also protect the students.

"Hmph, I thought I could take this out quickly, but I didn't expect you to actually have some skills. But that ninja over there, if I'm not mistaken, those three brats behind you are all genin, right?"

Seeing that the four were tightly embracing each other, giving them no chance, the attacking ninjas gave up their idea of ​​sneak attacking and the three of them stood at three different angles and surrounded them.

The leader among them was the spiky-haired ninja who used fire-style ninjutsu. His forehead guard had two small mountain-like patterns engraved on it, and in the middle of those patterns was a long scratch!

Rogue ninja from Iwagakure!

Upon seeing the pattern, Sakumo also became more vigilant. Rogue ninjas were among the top-ranking wandering ninjas, especially those from the Five Great Nations.

Firstly, the act of daring to defect from the village itself requires immense courage; ordinary Chunin would never even consider such a thing. And what happens after the defection is the beginning of a nightmare.

The village's ANBU will spare no effort in hunting down rogue ninjas, and their portraits will also appear on the black market's bounty list. It should be noted that the bounties offered by the five great ninja villages are generally not low, and bounty hunters are people who will do anything for money.

In dealing with rogue ninja, the five great nations surprisingly maintained a unified approach, exchanging information about rogue ninja every month and then posting posters and wanted notices in various locations throughout the five nations.

Therefore, these rogue ninjas generally live a very hard life. Not only do they not know where their next meal is coming from, but they also have to face the pursuit of the ANBU and bounty hunters from time to time. They even have to be afraid to sleep.

It's really not a good profession, so ninjas generally won't choose to defect unless they're desperate.

Sakumo Hatake stared intently at him without saying a word.

"Hmph, it's no use if you don't say anything. I can guess it anyway. You're the older guy, right? Let me give you a piece of advice: if you just honestly commit suicide now, I, Modo, might spare your lives!"

Upon hearing the name "Motaya," Sakumo blinked slightly, while simultaneously gathering information about the person in his mind. Since the other party dared to reveal this name, it meant that he must have some fame in the ninja world.

However, after thinking for a long time, Sakumo sadly discovered... nothing!

No, absolutely not! The vast majority of those he could remember were top-tier ninjas in the ninja world, such as the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, the Explosion Release: Hunting Master of Iwagakure, the powerful Jinchūriki of Kumogakure, and the genius puppeteers, the Twin Stars, of Sunagakure, and so on...

Unfortunately, he had never heard of this "Modo" before.

Modo could already tell what Sakumo Hatake meant from his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel his anger rising. He had always been arrogant and had been fighting in the ninja world for many years, thinking that he should have at least a good reputation.

And this ordinary Jonin in front of him had never even heard of his name?

"It's alright. You've already heard about it, so your life hasn't been in vain!" Modo looked at Hatake Sakumo with considerable confidence.

He himself was an elite Jonin, while his two accomplices, Kimoto and Dai, were Special Jonin and Elite Chunin, respectively. He estimated that only the teacher leading the team was a Jonin, while the other three kids were Chunin.

This class system, created by Konoha, is no secret in the ninja world, and other countries have already followed suit.

"The ninjas of Konoha are all quite wealthy. After this job, they'll probably be able to live a carefree life for a long time."

At this time, Modo had already begun to imagine the wonderful scene after his success. Before, when others said that the Land of Fire was very rich, he didn't really believe it. It wasn't until recently, after he went to the Land of Fire to commit crimes, that he found out that it really was rich!

Even ordinary Chunin carry good things like summoning scrolls, so they are naturally rich, and the kunai and shuriken they use are top-quality.

"Kimoto An'i, make your move!"

With a loud shout from Modo, the long-standing stalemate was finally broken!

Sakumo Hatake quickly formed hand seals, and Modo was not to be outdone. The two completed their hand seals almost at the same time!

Lightning Release: Raging Thunder Tiger!

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"

Both of them were using B-rank ninjutsu. The purpose of this move was only to test the opponent's strength. At this moment, Hatake Sakumo entrusted his back to Shen Qiu with peace of mind. Now was the time to test the results of his teaching!

"Protect Liuli!"

Shen Qiu knew very well that under such circumstances, sensory ninjas who were not good at fighting were very likely to be targeted on the battlefield, which was extremely dangerous. Nawaki obviously heard his opinion as well, and began to put his hands together to form hand seals!

"Ox—Rabbit—Tiger—Snake—Ox, Earth Release: Rock Rising Spear!"

Rock Spear is a C-rank ninjutsu. The inexperienced Nawaki's hand seals were not fast enough. The two earthen spears that shot towards Kimoto and An'i only slightly hindered them, without even touching their skin.

Actually, this can't be blamed on Rope Tree. As the heir of a large family, he was always treated like a precious gem, and their first high-level mission was an A-level mission, where they encountered such a "powerful" opponent.

There is a huge difference between drills and actual combat.

Rope Tree, having failed in his first attack, panicked instantly. By the time he tried to form hand seals again, it was already too late.

"Rune of Protection!"

At this moment, Shen Qiu finally decided to stop hiding his strength. Taking advantage of the fact that Shuo Mao's attention was not on him, he was determined to finish off these two ninjas quickly.

The Moon Silver Sword was pulled out from Shen Qiu's back with a pleasant "clang."

"The First Form of the Hatake Sword Technique—"

Shen Qiu gripped the Moon Silver tightly in his right hand, the chakra from the magic crest flowing through every part of his body, and the wind-attribute chakra poured into the Moon Silver like a tide.

"A flash of aurora!"

During these three months, Shen Qiu learned all of Hatake Sakumo's swordsmanship completely!

With his Sharingan and runes, and learning abilities several times greater than those of ordinary people, Sakumo probably always thought he had only learned the form but not the essence of the Hatake sword technique.

The Hatake family was originally a powerful samurai clan in the Land of Iron. At the end of the Warring States period, Hatake Sakumo's father foresaw that the samurai profession would inevitably decline, so he brought his wife and children to settle in Konoha Village despite being regarded as a traitor.

In fact, he is very smart, that's for sure.

Before the First Shinobi World War, the Hatake clan of the Land of Iron had already been wiped out. Samurai were a profession destined to be eliminated by history, just like their swordsmanship.

Is there a way to make ordinary swordsmanship more powerful?

Therefore, Sakumo conducted a round of research and major modifications to the "1-3-7" sword technique passed down in the Hatake clan. The current Hatake sword technique is a fierce sword technique developed by Sakumo Hatake, combined with the nature transformation of chakra, which is unmatched by ordinary sword techniques.

"Hatake Sword Technique - First Form: Aurora Flash!"

A large amount of wind-attribute chakra entered Moon Silver along with Shen Qiu's circulation. If you look closely, you can see a faint white light on the blade of Moon Silver.

This is how wind-attribute chakra is described.

"Chakra, like a sharp blade, can cut through anything. It can be used to deal with special ninja tools and ninjutsu. When used on a chakra blade, it can maximize the cutting power, making it the most powerful weapon at close to medium range!"

Combined with Shen Qiu's terrifying physical abilities, just like the name of this move, Shen Qiu leaped in front of Shuben like a silver lightning bolt!

"This kid..."

Seeing this, Shumoto was terrified! He never expected that this seemingly lowly ninja would possess such terrifying taijutsu and swordsmanship. Faced with this fierce attack, it was too late to dodge.
