Naruto: My setting is above yours.

Yamashiro Aoba belongs to a small ninja clan and has its own unique traditions.

However, now that he has graduated and the Third Shinobi World War is just around the corner, Genma feels a huge wave of character settings galloping towards him.

First, there's the disappearance of the Third Kazekage. Is there any chance we can get involved?

should not.

Thinking of the Kazekage, Genma immediately thought of someone from Sunagakure.

Yekura, known for her stunningly beautiful back.

"Such a beautiful back, it's a shame not to get cupping done..."

"No, it's a shame they died."

Xuanma immediately corrected his own thoughts.

If we save Yekura and send her back to Sunagakure, will she be killed again, or will something interesting happen?

Can we get some more settings?

There are also the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist; if we have the chance, we should take them out first.

Xuanma secretly made his plans.

The next day.

At 9:00 AM sharp, Class 9 assembled in front of the Hokage Building.

Sakumo Hatake had already accepted the mission before Genma and the others arrived, and once they were all together, he gave the order: "Let's go!"

Everyone immediately used the Instantaneous Movement Technique to set off.

Xuanma's attire was different from yesterday's; he now wore a sleeveless vest-style steel armor with a large scroll hanging horizontally at his lower back.

Seeing Genma in his armor, Yamashiro Aoba couldn't help but say, "Genma, isn't dressing like that a bit too much?"

Xuanma chuckled: "It's a pity there isn't any armor that completely covers a person."

Ninjas are too fragile; he needs to protect himself well.

Despite his advanced medical skills, he was still afraid of pain!

"Wearing such heavy armor will affect your agility, but it may have a smaller impact on you, Xuanma."

Yamashiro Aoba analyzed the situation carefully, then sighed, "Indeed, physical strength is the foundation."

"Genma, I really envy your stamina."

"Is it because you ate a lot?"

After thinking for a moment, Xuanma replied seriously: "Eating more is only one aspect. The most important thing is to have a balanced diet. Meat, vegetables, seafood, soy products... none of them can be missing. You also need to strengthen your exercise."

Of course, the most important factor is genetics.

Xuanma didn't say that.

He didn't inherit it; he's just lucky.

While the two were chatting, Shizune also kept an eye on Genma, thinking to herself, "I should add an arm guard to protect my upper arm... I'll buy one for Genma after I get the commission from this mission."

Genma was actually wearing arm guards, but they only protected his forearms.

……

After leaving Konoha Village, Hatake Sakumo led the team into the forest before introducing the mission: "The target of this mission is a samurai named Igata Kaijin."

"He was originally under the command of a nobleman in the Daimyo Prefecture of the Land of Fire, but he killed that nobleman and fled for some reason, so the Daimyo Prefecture asked the village to put him on the wanted list."

"So don't underestimate him. Some samurai have mastered chakra, although the information from the Daimyo's office indicates that this Igata Kaijin has not mastered chakra."

"But intelligence indicates that this person is currently active in the border area between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain."

Yamashiro Aoba immediately asked, "So, teacher, is there anything special about that place?"

Genma continued, "It's because the situation in the Land of Rain is currently quite chaotic!"

Hatake Sakumo nodded.

Shizune asked curiously, "Teacher, didn't the Ninja World War end a long time ago?"

"Moreover, there is a village called Amegakure in the Land of Rain, and its leader is a powerful figure known as a demigod."

Sakumo Hatake smiled and said, "You have a good grasp of Shizune's intelligence."

"However, the situation in the Land of Rain is rather complicated."

He explained with a more solemn expression: "After Amegakure's defeat in the last war, Hanzo's power and prestige were damaged, and he could no longer control the situation in the entire Land of Rain."

"The impact of the war was far-reaching, and the Land of Rain has not yet recovered."

"In addition, the geographical location and the struggle between various forces have led to a chaotic situation in the Land of Rain. Various ninja organizations have emerged one after another, and there are many wanted criminals and rogue ninjas from various ninja villages operating there."

Shizune and Yamashiro Aoba suddenly realized.

Xuanma was already aware of this.

For Konoha, the war was considered to have ended completely in Konoha 41.

But for the Land of Rain, the war has never ended.

Hanzo revealed his enormous ambition during the last Shinobi World War, not to mention Kirigakure, which is far away overseas.

The four major ninja villages surrounding the Land of Rain would not allow Amegakure to become the sixth major ninja village.

Therefore, Amegakure, having failed in its external expansion, could only watch as the Land of Rain descended into chaos.

This is the consequence of defeat.

However, Sakumo Hatake naturally wouldn't explain the details to a few greenhorn kids.

But Yamashiro Aoba already understood what he meant: "So, this guy named Igata Kaito might have joined some organization?"

"They may even have mastered chakra."

Sakumo Hatake said, "Anything is possible."

"We currently have limited intelligence, so we need to gather intelligence on the enemy later. Everyone must be cautious and take this seriously."

This is a mission that could be upgraded to Rank B at any time, which is why Hatake Sakumo accepted this mission.

There is some danger, but not much.

The next two days were spent traveling.

On the morning of the third day, Genma and his party arrived at the western border of the Land of Fire.

The speed was so-so, because it was the first time leaving the village, so Hatake Sakumo deliberately slowed down.

Outside a border town, Hatake Sakumo, along with Genma and the other two, gazed at the mountain in the direction of the Land of Rain: "According to intelligence, the last place the target was seen was this town, so we speculate that the person is likely hiding in the mountains."

Yamashiro Aoba said, "The area is very large. Should we search separately?"

Just as Sakumo Hatake was about to nod, Genma spoke up first: "No need for that."

All three of them turned to look at him.

Yamashiro Aoba asked, "Should we use a clone?"

Xuanma nodded and then shook his head, then formed a hand seal.

bang bang bang~

Four shadow clones appeared, and then they leaped into the air, causing smoke to explode. Four eagles tore through the smoke and took flight, creating a whirlwind.

Chapter 28: I am a summoning beast myself (Please read on!)

Yamashiro Aoba pressed down on her sunglasses, which were about to be blown away: "A summoning beast?"

"No, there are no clones on it."

"what happened?"

Shizune chuckled softly, "It's not a summoning jutsu, it's a transformation jutsu!"

Yamashiro Aoba turned her head and looked at Shizune blankly.

Transformation technique?

Is this a transformation technique?

Whose transformation magic turns them into a bird that can fly?

Shizune wasn't surprised at all by Yamashiro Aoba's reaction; she had been shocked and incredulous when she first met him.

"This is a transformation technique that Genma improved upon himself."

"Silently, with a hint of pride, said..."

Sakumo Hatake said, "It seems we can save ourselves a lot of trouble. In that case, we'll leave the intelligence to Genma."

It was his first time seeing it, but he had heard Kakashi mention it before. He wasn't as shocked as Yamashiro Aoba, but he was still amazed.

After all, transforming into an eagle grants one the powerful eyesight of an eagle, which is quite awe-inspiring when first heard.

"As long as it's in the mountains or has left any traces, then there's no problem."

Xuanma doesn't hide anything.

As for spirit beasts.

Does he need a summoned beast?

He himself is a summoned beast!

The search was left to the shadow clone, and Genma and the others returned to the town.

However, they didn't sit idle. They split into two teams and went to gather information from the townspeople.

After all, this town had been plundered by the Jingxinghai people not long ago.

evening.

Just after dinner, Xuanma received a memory from a shadow clone.

We've got a lead!
