Naruto: What do you mean you're from the Head-Touching Village?

Just as Jiraiya said, there were quite a few attacks along the border. By the time they arrived in the Land of Grass, the team had already suffered three waves of attacks.

However, bounty hunters are of little use against elite squads like theirs; they basically kill as many as they come.

"These bounty hunters are really reckless, daring to get involved in even major wars."

Junsuke Sarutobi, walking at the very back of the group, mentioned it briefly.

"They are bounty hunters because they value money over their lives. In the eyes of major powers, these people are just cannon fodder. During periods of conflict, major ninja villages hire bounty hunters to harass other villages along the border."

"By the way, you need to be careful not only of these, but also of the people from the Land of Grass and the Hidden Stone Village. The Land of Grass is a small country that is fickle and opportunistic, not to mention the Hidden Stone Village."

Jiraiya walked ahead, keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings while reminding the three of their presence.

Led by Jiraiya, the team used the Transformation Jutsu to change their appearance and arrived at the entrance of a small town. After being checked by the guards, the team successfully entered the town.

After entering the town, Jiraiya led his team to an izakaya (Japanese pub) and sat in a corner. About an hour later, a bald man came over.

Jiraiya and the other person exchanged a glance, and after making a few imperceptible hand gestures, they seemed to have given each other a secret signal.

"There are too many people, it's inconvenient to move around. I'm going with him to get something. You all need to be careful."

After saying that, Jiraiya got up and left with the bald man.

"Now all we have to do is wait, right? This task is really easy~"

Junsuke Sarutobi smiled happily.

"That's because we had a strong person leading us. I never had it this easy when I did A-level missions before."

Takuma Aburame took a sip of hot water and calmly replied.

However, the next second he frowned and turned to look at a passerby who had just walked past them.

He merely glanced over, but Akihi Shun's actions were more direct. Having completed numerous missions solo, he immediately discerned that the passerby was monitoring them.

Next move [White]

Featuring: [Kakashi Hatake (Young)]

With the White Fang blade drawn, Autumn Instant slashed at the passerby, splitting him in two, blood splattering everywhere.

This scene not only stunned the other diners around, but also left Junsuke Sarutobi completely dumbfounded.

"Let's go!"

Even though he was confused, Sarutobi Junsuke immediately sprang into action when he heard Akihi Shun's voice. After spending time together, he trusted Akihi Shun a lot.

The three of them rushed out of the izakaya in an instant.

Seeing that their target had left, the ninjas at the izakaya stopped pretending and chased after Akihi Shun and the others.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Ball!"

"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"

Faced with the incoming lightning ball, Akihi Shun quickly used Wind Release to counterattack.

The vacuum wave not only blocked the incoming lightning ball, but also repelled a pursuing ninja.

"Stop! We're surrounded!"

Takuma Aburame stood on a tree branch and spoke.

Akigashun and Sarutobi Junsuke landed beside him.

"So, how exactly were we discovered?"

At this moment, Junsuke Sarutobi was still completely bewildered.

"If nothing unexpected happens, our undercover agent has been exposed, and the other side is using an undercover agent to fish for us."

Akira Shun shared his speculation, and Aburame Takuma nodded, indicating his agreement with Akira Shun's idea.

"What? Doesn't that mean Lord Jiraiya is in great danger? He's all alone right now!"

Akira Shun and Aburame Takuma: "..."

With a sigh, Akihito Shun asked, "You mean, these people can threaten Lord Jiraiya?"

"Oh, oh, right." Sarutobi Junsuke seemed to have suddenly realized something, and awkwardly scratched his head.

"Do the people of Konoha still have the mood to chat at a time like this?"

A voice came from afar, attracting the attention of the three.

"Two teams from Iwagakure, plus some bounty hunters."

When Aburame Takuma saw the headband the other person was wearing, he felt a bit of pressure. The ninja leading the team from the Five Great Ninja Villages was at least a Jonin level.

And among them, the highest-ranking ninja is only him, a special Jonin.

"Let's stall for as long as possible, until Jiraiya-sama comes to our aid."

This was the best solution that Takuma Aburame could think of.

After confirming that there were too many people, Akira Shun decisively took to the field [White].

"Secret Technique: Magic Mirror Ice Crystals!"

As the ninjutsu was released, ice mirrors appeared one after another, surrounding Akihi Shun in a circle at the center.

"Ice Release?"

Upon seeing the Ice Release technique, the Jonin from Iwagakure was momentarily surprised, then smiled, his eyes even showing a hint of excitement.

"Hahaha! I didn't expect to catch such a big fish! Your name is Akihi Shun, right?"

Autumn Shun did not answer him, but instead disappeared into the ice mirror.

The next moment, Akihi Shun appeared next to the Iwagakure Jonin and shot out ice needles, but the opponent dodged them.

"Kid, you really think I'm your opponent in the Chunin Exams? You think you can attack me with such petty tricks?"

Iwagakure chuckled, but the next second, a cry of pain came from beside him. He turned around and saw that his team member had been killed by Akira Shun. He also saw Akira Shun's eyes looking at him like he was an idiot before he went into the ice mirror.

"..."

The Jonin of Iwagakure was enraged.

"Earth Release: Earth Flow!"

As the Iwagakure Jonin slammed his hand on the floor, the entire ground trembled, shattering into countless fine sands that surged towards Qiu Rishun like a tidal wave.

Some ice mirrors near the ground were also shattered by the mudslide.

Autumn instantly teleported to a high ice mirror, and Chidori pierced through an Iwagakure Chunin in an instant.

"This kid... shattered the mirror! He was using the mirror to move quickly, but now that he's shattered it, he can't move anymore. Mirrors are so fragile!"

The Iwagakure Jonin recognized Akihi Shun's mirror technique and quickly alerted the other ninjas around him, also throwing an "Earth Release: Rock Thief Stick" at Akihi Shun.

However, after dodging the attack, Akira Shun ignored it. It wasn't that he couldn't beat it, but that there was no need to fight it now. Akira Shun planned to eliminate the others first and then focus on dealing with the Jonin.

While Akihi Shun was fighting, Aburame Takuma and Sarutobi Junsuke were entangled with another Jonin from Iwagakure.

"Wait, are there more and more enemies?"

Junsuke Sarutobi clutched his chest wound and swallowed hard.

"There are definitely more and more of them. Iwagakure has really hired quite a few bounty hunters. We can only hope that Lord Jiraiya will come to provide support soon."

After finishing speaking, Aburame Takuma looked at Akihi Shun with a complicated expression. He really didn't expect that Akihi Shun's fighting strength was so strong!

So far, Akiga Shun alone has taken down more than a dozen enemy ninjas and successfully restrained an Iwagakure Jonin.

Wait a minute!

Aburame Takuma's pupils contracted, as if he had seen something incredible, and his eyes were fixed on Akihi Shun.

What did he see?

What are those white things on Akira Shun's body? Bones?

What is this?

Blood inheritance limit?

Takuma Aburame had also heard that the Kaguya clan in Kirigakure possessed a bloodline limit called Shikotsumyaku, but the Kaguya clan, like the Haku clan, had been wiped out!

Why does Akatsuki Shun possess both Ice Release and Corpse Bone Pulse?

Under Aburame Takuma's comment, Akihito Shun sighed.

He really didn't want to use the cursed seal; it was too much of a burden on his body. In the original story, it killed Kimimaro. Akihi Shun cherished his body, but now it seemed there was no other way.

There are too many enemies; it's impossible to eliminate them one by one.

He wants to wipe them all out in one fell swoop with a huge-area spell!

Cursed Seal Phase Two!

"The Dance of the Early Ferns!"
