Naruto: My setting is above yours.

Genma smiled and said, "We're old friends!"

Unexpectedly, I ran into the same Iwa ninja from last time.

At that moment, Huoguang, hiding behind a large rock, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat: "Konoha's White Fang, and that brat, it's them again!"

He immediately looked at the location where the large stone was hiding and used hand gestures to convey the message: Retreat first!

Although Da Shi, who was blind in one eye, wanted nothing more than to kill the brat immediately, he decisively retreated.

They lost last time, and this time will probably be no exception.

Let's retreat first and rendezvous with the hunters!

The two retreated without hesitation, leaving Xuanma, who was preparing for battle, stunned: So decisive?

Yamashiro Aoba was also stunned: "These guys... have they retreated?"

Genma shrugged: "It seems that's how it is."

Sakumo Hatake said seriously, "Don't be careless, there should be other people behind them."

"Now that we've been exposed, be careful of their traps."

"Iwagakure has a demolition unit that is extremely skilled at setting traps."

Xuanma's smile vanished, and he nodded solemnly: "Yes!"

The team continued forward, but with even greater caution than before.

A dozen minutes later, the team stopped again.

Xuanma frowned: "Three people...we may have already entered..."

Before the words were even finished, sharp bamboo poles rained down from the sky.

Shizune looked up and immediately shouted, "Watch out, there are explosive tags up there!"

Yamashiro Aoba quickly completed the hand seals, opened his mouth and spewed out billowing flames that swept away all the bamboo poles that had been shot down.

Rumble!

The explosive tag hanging on the bamboo pole exploded instantly, sending fragments flying everywhere.

Sakumo Hatake's gaze sharpened, and he leaped into the air, engaging in a fierce battle with a voice, the clanging of metal against metal resounding endlessly.

It's the firelight from two swords!

As soon as Sakumo Hatake moved, Genma felt the ground shake, and then a wall rose up from the ground on each of the four sides.

Shizune and Yamashiro Aoba immediately looked around warily.

"Watch out for the ground!"

Xuanma roared, and lightning crackled from his body.

The team had enough tacit understanding that when they heard the shout, Yamashiro Aoba and Shizune took off without hesitation.

Xuanma unleashed his power and slammed his fist into the ground.

Click!

The ground first cracked, and the cracks spread rapidly outward like a spider web, even causing the surrounding stone walls to crack as a result.

Immediately afterwards, the ground sank with a deafening roar, and countless bolts of lightning shot into the earth.

The explosive charge buried underground was destroyed by lightning before it could detonate.

"Xuanma, watch out!"

The silent descent from the sky alerted Genma to turn his head, only to see a wall hurtling straight toward him, immediately making him sense the danger.

There might be explosive tags hidden behind it!

Xuanma's figure immediately disappeared from its original spot and appeared next to Shizune.

The moving wall below was actually two separate structures with an explosive tag sandwiched between them. At that moment, it exploded with a deafening roar, sending debris flying everywhere.

If Xuanma had punched the stone wall, chopped at it with his sword, or climbed over it, he would have been injured.

Sensing and locking onto the enemy, Genma reached out and grabbed Shizune and Yamashiro Aoba, who were falling, and they disappeared into the air.

After a few flashes, the three appeared on the branches of a large tree. The sound of air being torn apart followed, and kunai carrying explosive tags flew towards them.

Yamashiro Aoba and Shizune both made their moves, intercepting the kunai with shuriken.

Xuanma drew his Mihu longsword and unleashed his lightning-fast movement technique, instantly reaching the hidden boulder in a few leaps.

Daishi broke out of his invisibility and showed no shock or fear when facing Genma, who was right in front of him.

Swish!

Xuanma's figure disappeared, accompanied by an explosion, and the large rock was engulfed in flames.

trap!

The hunter, who was hiding behind the tree and carrying out the explosion, turned his gaze to Shizune and Yamashiro Aoba: "One taken care of, huh?"

Hunting froze, somewhat surprised: "You actually dodged it! You were right, Firelight and Big Stone were right, you really are very troublesome!"

Genma stood to the side and slightly behind Gari, his ninja sword, Miko, pressed against Gari's neck: "Gari, the Explosion Release from Iwagakure?"

Shou turned his head slightly, revealing a smile: "You actually know me?"

"Heh, but it doesn't matter. Your time ends here!"

He didn't hesitate to detonate himself.

However, Shou was stunned; he did not self-destruct.

No, it self-destructed, but its clone is still there.

Xuanma was not standing to his side or behind, but directly in front of him.

"Illusion?"

Hunting then realized he had been under an illusion and laughed again: "Hehe, what a clever brat. No wonder Daishi and the others were in such a sorry state."

"However, I will be more careful next time!"

Xuanma brandished his sword: "I know you!"

Bang!

The Explosion Hunter was blown into a cloud of smoke.

Sakumo Hatake, Shizune, and Aoba Yamashiro walked over: "It seems that the three of you are clones. There will probably be many more arrangements like this in the future."

“Genma, that guy just now should be a Jonin from the Iwagakure Explosion Squad, Kari, who possesses the Explosion Release Kekkei Genkai.”

Shizune exclaimed in surprise: "Explosion Release Kekkei Genkai!"

Yamashiro Aoba remarked with some emotion, "I used to think that bloodline limits were extremely rare, but I never expected to have seen three bloodline limit ninjas in recent times."

Xuanma sheathed his sword: "This means we were lucky."

"However... it seems they are slowing down our operations."

"It could be to buy time for the rear, or it could be to buy time for the main body to set up traps, or it could be to buy time to mobilize troops."

Yamashiro Aoba adjusted his sunglasses and asked, "Should we take a detour?"

Sakumo Hatake said, "Sure, but the Iwa ninja will definitely keep an eye on us."

Xuanma thought for a moment and said, "Teacher, I have a way."

"Since the enemy can use clones to delay our progress, we can also use clones to attract their attention."

"Then, we'll go up in the sky!"

He had an idea before but didn't have time to try it out, and now it's a good time to give it a shot.

"The sky?"

Yamashiro Aoba looked up and asked, "Genma, you're not going to turn into a falcon and fly us from the sky to the Land of Earth, are you?"

Genma smiled and said, "Perhaps we can all fly there together."

"Mute, you try it first."

Genma formed hand seals and cast a transformation spell on Shizune.

Bang!

Smoke rose, and silence transformed into a white egret.

Jingyin was initially confused and bewildered, but then she realized that she had turned into a bird. She instinctively spread her wings and flapped them, and her body immediately took off lightly from the ground.

Yamashiro Aoba was so shocked that her sunglasses almost fell off: "It can really fly?!"

Xuanma smiled and said, "I can fly when I transform, so it's reasonable for me to be able to fly when I use transformation magic on you, right?"

Yamashiro Aoba nodded blankly: "Makes sense, makes perfect sense!"

That makes absolutely perfect sense!

After his initial shock, Hatake Sakumo smiled and immediately decided, "Genma, let's do as you say!"

Xuanma nodded.

So everyone separated a clone to stay behind in place of the original body, and then the original body was transformed by Genma into a crow and a falcon and flew into the air.

Previously, Genma was thinking about whether he could teach Kakashi and the others his unique transformation technique, but he overlooked the most basic ability of the transformation technique.

For example, when Gamabunta fought Shukaku, he couldn't use hand seals, so Naruto was responsible for using them to transform into the Nine-Tails.

Furthermore, the transformation technique is often used in conjunction with the substitution technique, that is, to transform a piece of wood that is meant to replace oneself into one's own appearance.

Therefore, the transformation technique can be used not only on oneself, but also on other people and other objects.

Genma can't teach Shizune and the others how to fly right now, but he can take them flying with him!

Four birds landed from the sky on a rocky, craggy hill.
