Konoha's Hextech Ninja

"Water Release: Great Explosive Water Shock Wave!"

A giant wave rose into the air and capsized more than a dozen small boats.

Hundreds of Yun Ninja were swept away by the waves and sank to the bottom of the sea before they could struggle.

Although the remaining Cloud Ninja reacted quickly and released their chakra to stabilize the fleet.

They also dispatched strong ninjas skilled in water-style techniques to dive underwater and rescue people.

However, some of the weaker Cloud Ninjas died instantly at the hands of Yagami Yoruichi's Water Release techniques.

Ignoring the constant pop-up system notifications, Yagami Yoruichi transformed into a dragon, treading on the waves as she weaved through the crowd of Cloud Ninja.

With each swing of the Kusanagi sword, one life after another was claimed.

At the same time, Yagami Yoruichi also secretly left the Flying Thunder God mark on some of the Cloud Ninja.

In just a few minutes, over a hundred Cloud Ninjas died from Yagami Yoruichi's Water Release and swordsmanship.

Unfortunately.

This killing can only end here.

In just a short time, the Third Raikage returned, his body crackling with lightning.

Brubi also successfully defeated Yagami Yoruichi's water clone. Octopus tentacles grew from his body as he attacked Yagami Yoruichi while simultaneously lifting up and rescuing the Cloud Ninja who were in danger.

In addition, among the thousands of Cloud Ninja, there are quite a few Jonin and Elite Jonin.

They might not be a match for Yagami Yoruichi one-on-one, but by delaying and restraining her or rescuing their companions, they could prevent Yagami Yoruichi from quickly achieving greater results.

"Damn it! Die!"

The Raikage roared in anger, and with the help of the Cloud Ninja's sensory ninja, locked onto Yagami Yoruichi's body and delivered a straight punch.

"I'm not playing with you guys anymore, goodbye."

Yagami Yoruichi raised one hand, formed the 'Mi' hand seal in front of her chest, and activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, instantly teleporting back to Inuzuka Tsurugi and the other two.

"Retreat!" Yagami Yoruichi didn't bother to explain. He grabbed the three of them and activated the Flying Thunder God Technique again, retreating to the nearest coastline.

Chapter 166 The Shocked Subordinates, the Terrifying Profits

"Captain, how are you? Are you alright?"

Inuzuka Tsuru looked at Yagami Yoruichi with concern.

"I'm fine, just a bit depleted of chakra. I need to rest, don't disturb me." Yagami Yoruichi waved his hand, sensing his internal condition.

In the short battle that lasted only a dozen minutes, Yagami Yoruichi had expended a full 70,000 to 80,000 chakra points.

Only Yagami Yoruichi's current chakra reserves are large enough to sustain such consumption.

If it were a Kage-level fighter, unless he also possessed chakra at the level of a Tailed Beast, he absolutely would not have been able to hold out.

"A large number of clones, coupled with massive ninjutsu, make for a powerful fighting force, but the consumption of resources is also too great."

Yagami Yoruichi sighed softly to himself.

Even among normal ninjas, those skilled in ninjutsu, few would dare to create a large number of shadow clones like Yoruichi Yagami, unleashing a massive barrage of ninjutsu upon the enemy.

During this time, he also continuously used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport and evade enemy attacks.

Aside from Jinchuriki, only a very few exceptionally gifted ninjas can withstand this kind of strain.

"However, this is precisely my advantage. As my attributes grow in cycles, my chakra will only increase, so I don't have to worry about running out of chakra."

Yagami Yoruichi silently recited this in his mind, then opened the system panel and glanced at it.

Although the battle just now involved an element of surprise attack, the Cloud Ninja's teamwork was exceptionally smooth.

With mutual assistance, Yagami Yoruichi only managed to kill a few dozen Cloud Ninja, a result far smaller than she had anticipated.

Furthermore, the fact that they failed to bring back even a single Cloud Ninja corpse means that these kills cannot be counted as 'battle achievements' or 'war missions'.

However, the system's kill rewards alone were enough to satisfy Yoruichi Yagami.

"64 kills, 12,800 gold coins, enough to buy 17 [Attribute Forging Devices]. If I can get a Prismatic Life, my strength will increase significantly. There's also the 96th floor [Shrinking Engine], and the more than 2,000 'Spirit' attribute bonus from [Soul Devouring]... Hmm, these Cloud Ninjas are on average much stronger than Rock Ninjas, and the attribute bonus from [Soul Devouring] is much higher than that of Rock Ninjas."

After glancing at the system panel a few times, Yagami Yoruichi finished taking stock of his gains this time.

The biggest gain is undoubtedly gold coins, but how much power they can be converted into after exchanging them for seventeen [attribute forging tools] depends on the player's skill.

In addition, there are over 2,000 points of [Spirit] attribute and 96 layers of [Shrinking Engine], which are real panel attribute bonuses.

Under the pretext of resting and recovering chakra, Yagami Yoruichi simply opened the system shop and started purchasing [Attribute Forging Equipment].

I bought all seventeen attribute forging tools, which is pretty good. I got two colored ones, but unfortunately only one of them has the option of '15% constitution attribute'.

The other option, the Colored Forging Tool, was slightly inferior to all three options. After a brief struggle, Yoruichi Yagami chose the '17.5% Magic Penetration' enhancement option.

Yoruichi Yagami wasn't quite sure how the system calculated 'spell resistance'.

Is chakra condensed on the body for defense, or defensive ninjutsu like 'Lightning Armor' or 'Susanoo' considered 'spell resistance', 'shield', or both?

However, as long as the enemy has the attribute of 'magic resistance', the higher one's own magic penetration, the more damage and destructive power of ninjutsu can be indirectly increased, which will ultimately help improve combat power.

Seventeen [Attribute Forging Tools], that seems like a lot.

However, even with the time spent hesitating and agonizing, the selection was completed in just a few minutes.

After all the attributes of the [Attribute Forging Tools] were stacked, Yoruichi Yagami's stats improved slightly, and the ongoing attribute cycle growth rate accelerated again.

"At the current rate, I can increase my chakra limit by several hundred points a day, and by more than 20,000 points a month. The longer it drags on, the more abnormal my attributes will become."

Yagami Yagami watched for a while, then closed the system panel with satisfaction.

The current number of [Attribute Forging Tools] is not enough to support the 'infinite' growth of one's attributes. After a certain point, the growth rate will slow down and gradually stabilize.

However, as long as you can get more kills and buy more [attribute crafting tools], especially the crafting tool with the '15% constitution attribute' bonus, your attribute growth cap will continue to increase until it reaches the level of 'infinite growth'.

In Yagami Yoru's eyes, this group of Cloud Ninjas was not a formidable enemy.

It is the best tool for farming attributes.

If one could consume most of these thousands of Cloud Ninja, or even just half of them.

Five hundred heads also means a full 100,000 gold coins in the account, enough to buy more than one hundred [Attribute Forging Items].

Based on normal probability calculations, even a low-level character like the "C" can still generate several '15% Constitution' attribute bonuses.

With the added bonuses of [Soul Devouring] and [Shrinking Engine], one's attributes will only become more and more abnormal.

Perhaps if this drags on a little longer, Yoruichi Yagami's fighting power could truly reach the 'Super Kage' level.

When she rushed into the crowd during the battle, Yagami Yoruichi deliberately left the Flying Thunder God mark on some of the Cloud Ninja, in order to lay the groundwork for her next sneak attack.

Thinking of this, Yagami Yoruichi wished he could immediately use the Flying Thunder God Technique to rush into the Cloud Ninja army and start a massacre once again.

However, sensing the chakra within her body, Yagami Yoruichi resisted the urge.

"With the Third Raikage, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, and a group of elite Jonin assisting me, it's impossible for me to achieve any significant results in one battle. Ideally, I could only kill a few dozen people before retreating, otherwise it would be unsafe."

"After one or two sneak attacks, the Cloud Ninja might not even know what's going on. But after a few more, they'll definitely become aware of the Flying Thunder God mark. Even if they don't understand the Flying Thunder God technique, they can definitely deduce its characteristics after watching me demonstrate it a few times. The Fourth Raikage figured it out in just a few rounds against Minato Namikaze, so there's no reason why the Third Raikage and so many of the Cloud Ninja's elite Jonin would be idiots."

"They might even set traps to ambush me in advance, taking advantage of the characteristics of the Flying Thunder God Technique, which would put me in danger."

"To be on the safe side, use the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport into the enemy crowd. This can only be done once; never do it a second time."

"Fortunately, I can sense the location of the Flying Thunder God Mark remotely. I can use [Curved Mirror Throw] to teleport to the vicinity of the Flying Thunder God's coordinates and maintain a suitable distance, which actually makes it easier to use large-scale ninjutsu to attack the Cloud Ninja's main force."

"The only problem is that the [Curved Mirror Leap] consumes a lot of chakra; each teleportation costs tens of thousands of chakra. Hmm... let's launch a sneak attack, then use the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape. We'll continue once the chakra recovers. Together with my clone, I'll unleash the 'Great Exploding Water Shockwave.' In this sea environment, even if the Cloud Ninja help each other and coordinate their defense, as long as my ninjutsu is large enough, we can still kill some weaker opponents!"

Yagami Yoruichi pondered for a moment and quickly decided on a strategy.

This guerrilla warfare strategy was simply not feasible for ordinary ninjas.

However, while Yagami Yoruichi may not be the most perfect choice, he is the most suitable choice under the current circumstances.

"I really made it into a homecoming water gate."

Yoruichi Yagami couldn't help but recall the tactic some Naruto fans used to joke about in his past life: 'Minato Namikaze would leave the Flying Thunder God mark on the enemy and then teleport home, waiting for the enemy to fall asleep before launching a sneak attack, thus ensuring victory in every battle.' He couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

Whether Minato Namikaze can go home is unknown, but Yoruichi Yagami's fighting style does have a bit of a "Minato going home" feel to it.

……

After eating the soldier pills and resting for a few hours, Yagami Yoruichi's chakra returned to its peak.

Open your eyes.

The three teammates appeared to be resting, but they were all keeping watch in their own ways.

Ryota Hinata's Byakugan remained active, and Keima Aburame's parasitic insects spread several kilometers away.

Even Inuzuka Tsurugi, along with Kuromaru, took turns using their sense of smell to detect any unusual odors to prevent enemies from getting close.

As soon as Yagami Yoruichi opened his eyes, Aburame Keima was the first to notice and immediately asked, "Captain, how are you recovering?"

"It was just that my chakra was overused; I've fully recovered." Yagami Yoruichi waved his hand and said, "I've already left the Flying Thunder God Seal on some Cloud Ninjas, so I can locate their positions at any time."

"Captain." Inuzuka Tsuru looked at Yagami Yoruichi with a hint of disbelief in his eyes and asked, "You fought the Raikage and weren't injured, but your chakra was used up too much?"

"Huh?" Yagami Yoruichi was taken aback, wondering why Inuzuka Tsuru asked that question.

On second thought, he realized how shocking it was for an ordinary ninja to face the Raikage head-on.

However, this is exactly what Yoruichi Yagami wanted to make a name for herself.

After thinking for a moment, Yagami Yoruichi did not deny it and nodded, saying, "The Third Raikage's offense and defense are both very strong. I can't hurt him. I can only rely on speed to dodge and ninjutsu to restrain him."

Yoruichi Yagami's ninjutsu, while seemingly unable to break through the Third Raikage's defense, was not entirely useless.

It will at least force him to expend more chakra to enhance the strength of his Lightning Release Armor.

But that's all.

At least for now, Yagami Yoruichi's full ninjutsu setup is not enough to break through the Third Raikage's defense.

As for using Rasengan to change the Third Raikage's attack angle with the Rasengan, like Naruto Uzumaki did in the original work, making him hit himself.

This sounds simple, but it actually requires an astonishing level of perception.

Naruto Uzumaki is able to do this because, in Sage Mode, he can accurately capture every detail of the battle and seize that critical opportunity.

Yoruichi Yagami's [Wind Perception] is more inclined towards a broad, rough perception over a wide area; it lacks the finesse to perform such a delicate operation.

If she really insisted on learning it, there was a greater chance that Yoruichi Yagami would make a mistake in timing and angle, and be killed instantly by the Third Raikage's "One-Piece Hand".

Therefore, Yoruichi Yagami would not say anything about being able to kill the Third Raikage.

If you can't do it, you can't do it. If you insist on being stubborn, you'll only be proven wrong by reality.

"To be able to fight the Third Raikage to a draw, Captain is amazing!" Inuzuka Tsuru exclaimed in surprise.

Hinata Ryota also wore a complicated expression.

He was the first to notice that Yoruichi Yagami's chakra reserves were unusually large.

But she never imagined that Yoruichi Yagami would have such terrifying strength.

He couldn't help but wonder if Minato Namikaze, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Battlefield, was capable of fighting the Third Raikage without being defeated.

Does this mean that Yoruichi Yagami, who is only seven or eight years old, is stronger than Minato Namikaze?

Reason told him that this was impossible.

However, the fact that Yagami Yoruichi fought the Third Raikage and escaped unscathed made him doubt his own judgment.

"Captain," Aburame Keishin interrupted their gossip, adjusting her sunglasses as she asked, "What do we do next? Report it to the village?"

"Um……"

Yagami Yoruichi lowered his head and began to ponder.

Yagami Yoruichi knew that this group of Cloud Ninja's target was Sunagakure, not Konoha.

In the previous battle, Yagami Yoruichi and the others had all removed their Konoha headbands beforehand, so they did not reveal their identities as Konoha ninjas.

Since their identities haven't been exposed, it's unlikely that the Cloud Ninja will change their goals; they will still head towards the Land of Wind.

In that case, there's no need to notify the village at all. It would be most advantageous for Yagami Yoruichi to slowly wear down the opponent and maximize the system rewards.

However, if they were to actually do that, they wouldn't be able to find a suitable reason or excuse to convince their three subordinates not to report the enemy situation to the village in a short time.

It should be noted that the fact that thousands of Cloud Ninja secretly traveled by sea to bypass the Ninja World continent and arrived at the southern bay of the Land of Fire posed a significant threat to Konoha.
