September 29nd, dawn.

On the bare mound, Minato Namikaze, who was on guard duty, suddenly spoke: "Shisui, Sanyo, Shuichi!"

The three people resting inside the tent were immediately awakened and filed out.

Standing atop the towering mound, with no trees to provide cover, they could easily see figures appearing in all directions.

These people were clearly different from the harassers from yesterday, not just in their attire, but also in their spirit and energy.

"Is it Rain Ninja?"

Anma Shanyang was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

The newcomer was wearing a headband from the Rain Village.

Hoshino Hideichi took a soldier's ration pill and ate it: "That's not necessarily true!"

In the Land of Rain, everyone is pretending to be someone else, and vice versa, a mix of truth and falsehood.

Minato Namikaze said, "For now, let's not worry about their identities..."

Before the words were even finished, the earth began to tremble.

Immediately afterwards, Hoshino Hideichi and the others saw that more than ten meters away from the mound, the ground rose up and took the form of steps, and soon the highest step surpassed the mound.

shhhhhh...

One by one, figures appeared on the towering earthen wall, looking down at Hoshita Shuichi and the others on the mound.

"What an outstanding civil engineer!"

Hoshino Shuichi couldn't help but mutter to himself, but he was also on high alert.

"Watch out, these guys might be Iwa ninja!"

Minato Namikaze reminds you.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the ninjas on the towering earthen wall launched their attack.

shhhhhh!

A large number of kunai and shuriken flew down, but none of them carried explosive tags.

They were probably afraid of accidentally blowing up the envoys who were being protected inside the tent.

Ding ding ding...

With a flourish of his hands, Xingxia Xiu used a Kusanagi in one hand and a kunai in the other to deflect the dense barrage of kunai and shuriken.

Some of the attackers took advantage of the attack to rush down the high wall and head straight for the tent.

When the first wave of attacks ended, the remaining attackers jumped down from the high wall.

In the blink of an eye, Hoshino Hideichi and his companions were surrounded by more than twenty people.

Since graduation, this was the first time that Hoshino Shuichi had encountered such a large number of enemies, and the first time he had fought on such a complex battlefield.

Therefore, when the first wave of enemies arrived, he had already eaten a soldier's ration pill and activated 10 times his focus for the first time.

At this moment, Hoshino Shuichi felt his already high-speed thinking become even faster, his nerve reactions become more acute, and even his five senses were enhanced.

The shouts of battle, screams of agony, and the clang of metal no longer affected him in the slightest.

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!

Without forming any hand seals, Hoshino Hideichi spewed out flames from his mouth.

This was also the first time he had exposed his seal to the enemy. It was so sudden and so close that only one of the three who charged at him managed to dodge, while the other two were hit and blasted away, landing with screams as they turned into two balls of fire.

"Be careful, this guy doesn't need to form a fire jutsu..."

The other person who dodged the fire jutsu was extremely shocked and furious, but before he could finish speaking, a blur flashed before his eyes and Hoshino Shuichi had already attacked him.

puff!

Blood splattered, and the enemy collapsed, clutching his neck.

Meanwhile, Hoshita Shuichi had already turned and headed straight for the three people Kurama San'yō facing: "San'yō!"

Kurama Sanyou, who was at a disadvantage, immediately realized what was happening and retreated to Uchiha Shisui's side.

Hoshino Hideichi's chest swelled up, and several balls of flame shot out from his mouth.

Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!

Rumble!

The flames crashed directly into a wall that had risen from the ground, causing the earthen wall to collapse instantly and billowing smoke and dust.

Hoshino Shuichi immediately ripped off his raincoat, threw it with a kunai from the right, and tore through the smoke and dust.

"Over here!"

Someone shouted from behind the wall, but Hoshino Shuichi raised one hand and two shadow clones appeared on his left and right sides.

Two shadow clones burst forth with speed, one attacking from the left and the other leaping over the top of the earthen wall.

Ding ding!

The attacks of both shadow clones were blocked, indicating that the enemy did not swarm the bait intended for Hoshino Shuichi; the words shouted out were entirely intentional.

However, just as the three enemies were targeting Hoshino Shuichi's two shadow clones, Hoshino Shuichi suddenly attacked from the right.

A blade flashed, and a head flew off.

Hoshino Shuichi beheaded the enemy whose back was turned to him, and then, as soon as a shadow clone was killed, he pounced forward, swift and ruthless, each strike fatal. In the blink of an eye, blood splattered and screams rang out, killing two people in succession.

With the remaining shadow clone dispelled, Hoshino Hideyuki swallowed another soldier's ration pill.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Shisui and Kurama Sanyou had already dealt with the three who were attacking them.

Meanwhile, one of the dozen or so Jonin who was besieging Minato Namikaze and his group finally broke through the blockade and stormed into the tent.

Inside the tent, the messenger, transformed from Hoshino, looked terrified. As the intruder rushed forward to knock him unconscious, his hand, hidden beneath his sleeve, suddenly rose up.

Bang!

The shadow clone that was struck on the neck by the palm strike exploded into smoke.

The intruder's expression changed drastically. Looking down, he saw that it was a burning detonator.

Not only that, the previously disguised explosive tags on the tent were also revealed and burst into flames.

"asshole……"

The person who broke in opened his mouth, but was engulfed by explosions and flames in the next moment.

Outside the tent, the moment he saw the defenses breached, Minato Namikaze immediately gave the order to retreat.

Hoshino Shuichi had already released his 10x focus state and, along with Uchiha Shisui and the others, leaped onto the high wall.

The next moment, Minato Namikaze appeared beside them, and almost simultaneously, the tent on the hilltop exploded into a huge ball of flame that spread out in all directions.

Several nearby enemies were blown away, and five samurai who were not able to retreat in time were also knocked to the ground by the shockwave of the explosion and rolled down the hill.

"Shisui, Shuichi, throw the kunai I gave you at the enemy!"

Minato Namikaze gave the order and simultaneously threw out several kunai.

Hoshino Shuichi and Uchiha Shisui immediately did as instructed, throwing their kunai.

Minato Namikaze also disappeared from the spot shortly afterward.

At that moment, Hoshino and his two companions witnessed what true extreme speed was.

Kurama San'yo didn't even see clearly before the enemy fell one after another.

Even Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan couldn't fully capture Namikaze Minato's figure.

Only when Hoshino Shuichi, who had once again activated 10x focus while throwing the kunai, saw Minato Namikaze flash by, defeat the enemy, and disappear at an extremely fast speed.

"Too fast!"

"If it were just a kunai appearing next to me, and I was mentally prepared, I might be able to react with 10 times the concentration."

"But if the mark is already on your body, you might not be able to react!"

Hoshita Shuichi swallowed hard.

If you use kunai, the area where Minato Namikaze appears will be very small.

However, if the mark is on his body, Minato Namikaze can appear on either side of him.

In front of you, behind you, to your left, to your right, and even above your head!

"I must strive to find an opportunity to learn this technique in the future!"

Hoshita Shuichi gritted his teeth inwardly.
