Naruto: With maxed-out affection, I am invincible in the ninja world.

Haneda didn't refuse. He could tell from the temperature of the bowl that his grandmother had been preparing it for a long time.

After finishing his drink, Yu Tian said goodbye to his grandmother and left.

…………

Haneda did not go directly to Sakumo's house. As agreed, he usually went directly to the training ground to practice his swordsmanship.

Even if he couldn't go because of something, Sakumo would still carry out ninja training as usual.

The training ground is located on the edge of the Death Forest and belongs to the Hatake clan.

The place was quite far away, and it took Haneda about ten minutes to get there.

At this moment, there were already three people on the training ground. Sakumo was talking to his two future teammates, Asuma and Kurenai.

Noticing Haneda approaching, Sakumo said:

"You're here just in time, Haneda. I was just talking to Asuma and the others about the test."

"test?"

Speaking of this, Haneda recalled the tradition of Class 7—the bell-catching game.

At this moment, Asuma preemptively explained:

"It's a small test of teamwork skills. Teacher Shuo Mao said that this affects his consideration when accepting tasks."

After saying that, Asma shouted excitedly:

"Brother Haneda! We finally have a chance to fight side by side!!"

"That's it..."

Haneda was still a little dazed and didn't react immediately. Remembering the words "elder brother," he said again...

"By the way, didn't I tell you not to call me Haneda-nii? You're a bit older than me, Asuma."

"Okay, Brother Haneda."

"..."

"Another child who never learns from his mistakes."

Haneda thought helplessly.

Seeing that Asuma and Haneda seemed to have a good relationship, Sakumo nodded secretly.

With this relationship in place, subsequent team training will be much easier.

"Enough with the small talk, Haneda, the three of you should discuss the test first."

"Although you are very capable individually, this assessment is about teamwork."

Shuo Mao reminded him in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Haneda gripped the hilt of the sword on his back and drew it.

The familiar coolness coming from his hands relieved much of his physical discomfort.

"Asuma, Kurenai, what are you each good at?"

"Taijutsu and Wind Release," Asuma replied, gripping his chakra blade.

Then, Kurenai Yuhi said, "Illusion magic, that's all."

Without wasting any words, Haneda immediately began to arrange the tactics.

Asuma and Kurenai are both future Jonin, so they should have basic ninja etiquette.

Even if they don't have it now, their talent is definitely there, and they will understand how to cooperate during battle.

"I am good at many things, including illusion, taijutsu, and ninjutsu."

"I'll take the lead in attacking, and Asuma and I will coordinate to limit Sakumo's position."

"Red, you support me from the side, keep your distance, and cast illusions at the right time."

“Okay,” Asuma and Kurenai replied.

Then, Haneda turned to look at Sakumo, who drew his short sword and smiled.

"Are you ready?"

After asking his question, seeing that Haneda and the others had assumed fighting stances, he kicked up a pebble and continued,

"Let's begin with the moment the stone falls."

After saying that, Sakumo gripped the stone and stretched his thumb upwards forcefully.

The stone bounced up, tracing a graceful parabola through the air.

As the pebble fell, Haneda and the other two moved simultaneously.

Kurenai quickly disengaged from the battlefield and hid in the surrounding bushes.

Asuma ran to Sakumo's flank, waiting for Haneda's attack.

Zizizi~

The sound of a thousand birds chirping rang out as blue lightning crackled around Haneda's sword.

In a flash of lightning, Haneda moved!

He swung his sword, and the lightning coiled around it transformed into a long, curved serpent that attacked Shuo Mao.

At the same time, he activated his three-tomoe Sharingan and charged forward from both sides, flanking the lightning.

"behind."

Haneda shouted loudly.

He didn't care whether Asma could understand his true meaning, and didn't offer any further explanation.

The wind-attribute chakra in his hand quickly condensed, and the pale white air currents gathered on the blade, making him and his speed much faster.

"Use wind for close range, and thunder for distant range. I told you that, but I didn't expect you to use both together. It seems pretty good."

Sakumo's eyes narrowed slightly, and the chakra on the blade turned a pale white.

Countless tiny breezes swept across the blade, then swirled back to the other side, continuing to blow.

Tsk tsk tsk! !

The sound of airflow could be heard continuously.

Sakumo glanced at Asuma, who had run behind him and was about to attack, and instantly understood Haneda's meaning.

He knew he wouldn't kill, so he let Asma attack.

Haneda attacked from both sides, leaving him with no way to escape.

Even Kurenai, hiding in the grass, has the opportunity to cast illusions on herself.

Ignoring what was behind him, Sakumo swung his sword forcefully.

Several wind blades sliced ​​across the blade, transforming into tiny blades as they traveled through the air and attacking Haneda.

At this point, Haneda was very close to Sakumo!

He'd be lucky to even block an attack, let alone get close!

"Don't underestimate me, Uncle Sakumo."

Haneda formed a hand seal with one hand, and within a second, his left hand was wrapped with lightning.

Before the thousand birds could even cry out, they transformed into countless tiny needles and flew forward.

The thousand birds and the wind blade collided, knocking the wind blade down. It fell to the ground and instantly severed the grass, leaves and roots.

The ground was instantly a mess, covered with fallen leaves.

"A new form of Chidori? When was it developed?"

Sakumo's eyes flashed with surprise. This move was similar to his Wind Release, but he didn't know when Haneda had modified it with Lightning Release.

At this moment, Raiden, who had transformed into a long snake, and Haneda attacked from the left and right, respectively, with Asuma following closely behind!

Sakumo is now surrounded on three sides!

Chapter 056 Battle against Sakumo

"Is hiding the only option?"

Sakumo sensed the turbulent wind and lightning chakra around him and jumped up without hesitation.

Sakumo always tries to dodge attacks whenever possible to avoid wasting chakra.

Just as he jumped, Haneda revealed a cunning smile.

When Haneda and Asuma's attacks missed, the lightning serpents they had released returned to the sword in Haneda's right hand.

It transformed into hundreds of needles, flying towards Shuo Mao in mid-air with lightning speed.

In mid-air, without a foothold, the body will only move along the path of inertia.

All you can do in this process is adjust your actions; there's simply no way to avoid the sheer number of Chidori Senbon!
