Just a moment ago, some of the teammates actually thought that Yu Xian was already dead.

However, Yugen's reaction speed and body control were unlike those of a genin; he easily turned the tables and killed his opponent.

Yu Xian felt a chill run down her spine. What was this? Was it training through combat?

The enemy was a group of eight Rain Village ninja. Clearly, they had been lying in wait, hoping to ambush their prey. And so, this Konoha squad became their destined targets.

After taking down one enemy, Yu Xian didn't have time to check if the other was alive or dead, because the next enemy was already rushing towards him.

The second enemy was a tall, thin ninja with empty, cold eyes and a numb aura. His face was covered by a special respirator, with only the Rain Village insignia on his headband clearly visible.

This person looks like the ideal ninja, devoid of emotion, only knowing how to kill, and unburdened by anything except his mission.

clang!

Yu Gen precisely parried the short sword in the opponent's hand with his kunai, and the impact from the tiger's mouth almost made him lose his balance... The enemy was quite strong. Shouldn't an enemy of this size be handed over to the captain?

However, Yu Xian had no time to pay attention to anything else at this moment. Taking advantage of the opponent's renewed slashing with the knife, he ducked to avoid the cold blade that whistled through the air. Then, he took a step forward and rushed into the opponent's arms. With a flick of his wrist, he changed the kunai from a reverse grip to a normal grip, and then thrust the tip of the kunai into the opponent's ribs.

Blood splattered out again.

The enemy, Yu Yin, possessed a fierce nature. The sharp pain in his ribs did not interfere with his subsequent attack. Since the two were too close, he simply abandoned his sword and raised his arm, attempting to finish off Yu Xian, who was crouching low, with an elbow strike.

But the next moment, Yu Xian's figure suddenly disappeared.

After the brief exchange, Yu Xian realized that the level of physical skill he was displaying was far beyond what the stats on the character panel could convey...

With a sudden burst of chakra beneath his feet, Yu Xian appeared beside the enemy. Then, several shuriken were flung out, accurately piercing the back of the enemy's hand holding the sword. In pain, the enemy dropped the short sword from his hand.

Using the direction from which the kunai came as a reference, the enemy caught sight of Yu Xian's figure again out of the corner of his eye, but before he could retaliate, the figure disappeared again.

A hand caught the falling dagger, and then the Rain Village ninja felt a weight on his shoulder.

Someone stepped on his shoulder, and he subconsciously looked up, just in time to see a sharp blade pointing vertically downwards... At the moment he looked up, his neck was exposed.

Then, the long knife plunged into his chest cavity through the side of his neck.

"Body Instantaneous Movement Technique..."

The enemy's life was already cut off, but even so, he still opened his arms in a desperate attempt to launch a last-ditch counterattack, wanting to give Yu Xian a violent slam.

Left with no other choice, Yu Xian kicked the hilt of the longsword, and the sharp blade pierced through the opponent's body. The enemy finally lost all reaction and, like his companion, fell from the tree into the muddy water.

After taking down two enemies in quick succession, Yu Xuan only used a few Body Flicker Techniques, and his chakra consumption was minimal... This is how poor, commoner ninjas fight, especially when carrying out long-term operations deep behind enemy lines; they must conserve chakra as much as possible.

Yu Xian's battle didn't last long, but by this time, the raincoat he was wearing was almost completely stained with blood... He checked his own combat strength and found that the enemy's combat strength was probably only at the level of Chunin or Genin. However, he, a novice on the battlefield, had defeated the opponent in a relatively simple way.

Sure enough, mastering the Instantaneous Movement Technique is a great advantage on the battlefield.

However, one should be careful. The Body Flicker Technique he uses is merely a high-speed movement technique, neither the Flying Thunder God nor any other space-time ninjutsu. Therefore, as long as the enemy's perception is strong enough, they can still detect his movements... The Body Flicker Technique is trustworthy, but it should not be relied upon excessively.

"As expected, people die when they are killed, but I don't want to die..." Yu Xian murmured as she looked at the corpses of the two enemies.

After taking down the two enemies, he finally had time to check on his teammates.

Captain Akimichi Torifu had already dealt with the enemies around him. He wielded a long black iron staff and simply struck each of the three enemies who charged at him once before taking them down. His fighting style was simple and unpretentious, yet it showcased his strength as a seasoned elite Jonin.

Akimichi Torifu stood there, seemingly in complete control of the battlefield, but instead of making any further moves, he observed his teammates' fighting situation.

On the other side, a large orange fireball appeared with a crackling sound, evaporating a curtain of rain under the intense heat of the flames, and white steam instantly filled the forest... This was the Uchiha's signature ninjutsu, the Great Fireball Technique. Uchiha Hazuki's release angle and distance were perfectly controlled, and the figures of the two enemies were instantly engulfed within it.

In the end, Omori Kairi only needed to deal with one enemy, but she didn't attack directly. Instead, she led him in circles, seemingly fleeing in panic. However, after circling a few times, she completed a binding spell on the ground. The remaining enemy stood in the center of the spell like a puppet on strings, and he was captured alive.

The team regrouped, and the four of them approached the final enemy.

"Hazuki, you try to see if the other side has any valuable information." Akimichi Torifu remembered that Uchiha Hazuki had said that she was good at genjutsu.

"it is good."

Uchiha Hazuki arrived in front of the enemy, her Sharingan eyes fixed on the other's eyes... one with three tomoe, the other with two tomoe, Hagen could see it all clearly.

Judging from the level of her skill, she must be quite good.

The illusion easily manipulated the enemy's mind, yet there was no valuable information about the opponent.

"These people were just carrying out an ambush mission, and then attacked the enemies who fell into the trap."

Akimichi Torifu nodded. The overall strength of these Amegakure enemies was relatively weak, so they were unable to carry out targeted missions... The team was composed entirely of chunin and genin, so they could only do ordinary ambushes.

Then Akimichi Torifu specifically praised Yuzuru, saying, "Yuzuru, your Body Flicker Technique is quite good. Who taught you?"

"Captain, I practiced by myself."

"Very good. Your Body Flicker Technique is not at the genin level. It will definitely come in handy in the upcoming battle."

Yu Xian rarely spoke the truth, "Captain, I don't know what level my Body Flicker Technique is at."

"Hmm... You learned by yourself? If that's the case, you have an exceptional talent for the Body Flicker Technique."

Nonsense, that's Yu Gen's talent, that's the Fourth Hokage's talent.

For ninjas from commoner backgrounds, the most crucial factor is not whether they have talent, but whether they have the resources and channels to learn. Many commoner ninjas never knew whether they had talent until they died.

"Let's get out of here quickly; the commotion just now was quite loud."

The battle just now was actually quite uneventful, except for the Uchiha releasing a powerful fire jutsu.

The squad's current mission was not to participate in direct combat, so after casually dealing with the prisoners and looting some valuable supplies, the group set off again.

Before they had gone far, the bloodstains on Yu Xian's body were easily washed away by the heavy rain.
