Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 47 Are all the Konoha genin this fierce?

"call!"

Jingyan was panting heavily.

Both the previous large-scale water barrier and this powerful monstrous force consume a great deal of chakra. Currently, his chakra can only sustain one more attack of similar magnitude.

Unfortunately, no one in their team was skilled in lightning or earth techniques.

I should have brought Kakashi along!

Jingyan was secretly annoyed.

His gaze swept around.

Minato Namikaze has already driven back most of them, but...

"They're here!"

The red pupils of the evening sun contracted.

Then...

Kara!

The ground cracked open, and three figures charged towards the three of them.

She immediately formed a hand seal.

Naraku's clone!

In an instant, illusions and clones affected the surroundings, making it difficult for the three to make any judgment.

Immediately following, the chakra exploded.

The clone explodes!

"drink!"

Kai kicked away an enemy who was charging at him.

however.

Bang!

The opponent countered with a backhand, firmly blocking his kick.

Immediately, several more figures rose from the ground.

"Some are earth clones."

Kurenai Yuhi maintained her strongest senses and quickly revealed the information.

"Kai, Hong, their target is us!"

Jingyan's gaze sharpened, and he instantly appeared beside Yuhi Kurenai.

Thinking.

moment--

He sensed a strange noise coming from the ground.

not good!

Kyohiko placed his hand on Kurenai's shoulder, and in an instant, he sprang up and jumped into the woods behind him.

Although Kai was a beat slower to react, his body reacted almost simultaneously with Jingyan's, instantly retreating to avoid the earth spikes and kicking one of the earth clones to pieces.

but.

In that instant, three or four people leaped out from under Kyohiko and attacked Kyohiko and Yuhi Kurenai with incredible speed.

Kyohiko understood instantly—

Their target is him!!

Jonin.

We can't fight them head-on!

As Kyohiko pondered, pillars of rock rose up around him, accompanied by several strange noises. It was difficult to discern their exact nature, but one could foresee—

His opponent was determined to kill him!

We have to run fast!

"Walk!"

He caught the sunset red.

At this moment, Kyohiko couldn't care less about anything else.

Open the door!

then……

Escape in an instant!

With his master-level Instantaneous Movement Technique, combined with the increased control, performance, and speed brought about by opening the door, Kyohiko instantly carried Kurenai Yuhi a great distance.

The direction is exactly where Minato Namikaze is located.

So fast!

The three Iwa ninja were surprised, and even more shocked.

How can a genin be this fast?

No wonder!

They became even more determined to kill.

"Kyohiko, leave me behind and run! They're after you!"

The setting sun casts a fiery glow on her heart.

Her genjutsu was completely ineffective against the Jonin of Iwagakure; it was nothing more than a hindrance.

"No rush."

Jingyan said in a low voice.

Just as the three Jonin were about to catch up with him...

suddenly.

He loosened the crimson leaves of the setting sun on a tree.

Then, he instantly moved and drew his sword—

laugh!

By the time they focused their attention, Jingyan was already more than ten steps away.

Of the three, one was clutching his neck, his face filled with fear and pain.

What a quick knife!

At that moment, he even thought he saw white teeth.

They must be killed!

Otherwise, the future of Konoha...

terrible!

He might just be like White Fang, ruling an era once again and becoming a sword hanging over everyone's heads!

"call--"

Jingyan was panting heavily.

The White Fang Knife Technique's surprise attacks and assassinations were indeed highly efficient.

If the timing and speed are right, it is not a miracle for the weak to defeat the strong.

Facing a Jonin, he dared not hold back. Even after the effect of opening the gate ended, he could immediately open the Gate of Rest to temporarily recover.

but.

If you can avoid opening it, then...

It's better not to turn it on.

Kai was entangled by several earth clones and unable to break free, but seeing that Jingyan was exhausted, he suddenly increased his speed and broke free, rushing towards Jingyan.

At that very moment.

"Minato-senpai, if you don't come soon, I'm really going to die."

"Sorry, it took a while to deal with the enemy."

Minato Namikaze, covered in blood, appeared beside him, blood dripping from his kunai.

His gaze swept over the remaining two.

"Do the Iwa ninja want to start a war with Konoha?"

"..."

The two tried to escape, but the next moment, Minato Namikaze appeared beside them, and the one protecting Kyohiko was just a shadow clone.

A giant chakra ball appeared in his hand.

Dayama Rasengan!

boom!

A loud bang.

The two were forced to flee.

Minato Namikaze moved with lightning speed, disappearing in a few blinks, leaving the two men in shock and disbelief.

So fast!

Why are all the ninjas in Konoha so strong?

Blood splattered.

The two slowly collapsed.

After continuous fighting, even Minato Namikaze could not hide his fatigue, but he still remembered the scene with Kyohiko just now.

That speed...

too fast!

It was almost beyond the limits of what the body could do.

Could it be a forbidden technique?

He was still deep in thought.

Jingyan stood up wearily.

He has recovered from the initial stage of "opening the door".

Kai was also panting heavily on the side.

Although he hadn't had a chance to fight after opening the "door," his physical strength and energy were still greatly depleted, and he needed to rest for a while.

Minato Namikaze looked at the two of them.

"You two practice the same forbidden technique?"

"Forbidden technique?"

Kurenai Yuhi paused slightly, then looked at Kyohiko and Kai.

them……

Was some kind of forbidden technique used?

"In order to solve the problem of not being able to control the speed, I have read a lot of books. The Second Hokage's book mentioned a vision about unlocking the limitations of the brain, and mentioned that it points to the opening of the Eight Gates in the human body."

Kyohiko replied.

He was telling the truth.

The research notes that Tsunade retrieved did mention the connection between the human body's opening mechanism and the brain. The Second Hokage made a conjecture, but there was no further in-depth research.

As for how Jingyan mastered it, that falls into the category of "unspeakable".

"Open the door?"

Minato Namikaze's gaze sharpened. "Researching such a dangerous ninjutsu is incredibly reckless! Guy, what about you?"

"Uh, my father taught me. He's been researching this for over ten years, and now it seems he can open many doors, but I'm not entirely sure about the specifics."

"!!!"

Minato Namikaze was speechless.

Might Guy's father, whom he vaguely remembered being called Might Dai, was a genin who had failed to be promoted for many years.

Then there's Kyohiko, who was only eight years old at most, yet he managed to master the method of opening the "gate" by relying on some of the Second Hokage's notes.

Are all the genin in our Konoha Village this strong?

but.

Watergate will not forget the necessary reminders.

"This is a forbidden technique."

"My father instructed me that this should only be used when it is necessary to protect someone."

Matt Kai answered.

"I understand its flaws and won't use it indiscriminately."

Kyohiko changed the subject, "Senior, could these people be ninjas from Iwagakure?"

"It's hard to say."

Minato Namikaze looked around.

His shadow clone used the sealing scroll to clean up the scene and found many traces, but so far, he dared not easily conclude that these people were Iwa ninja.

Earth Release ninjutsu is not exclusive to Iwagakure.

What if it was an assassination attempt by another ninja village, hoping to ignite conflict between Konoha and Iwagakure...?

"Gather as much evidence as possible, erase all traces of the battle, and let the teacher decide the rest later."

Minato Namikaze stopped thinking about it.

Jingyan nodded.

He helped gather the surrounding items and clean up the traces, but in his heart he was thinking—

The group made their move in the Land of Hot Water, but their target was him; it's not necessarily Iwagakure who did it.

but.

On the eve of the Chunin Exams, a group of ninja villages, united by the neutrality of the Land of Waves, ambushed and assassinated a Konoha team...

It would be an overstatement to accuse Iwagakure of "attempting to sabotage cooperation," and it could very well escalate into a serious diplomatic incident.

I'll discuss it with the teacher later!
