Naruto: My setting is above yours.

Lightning crackled around Xuanma as he entered Lightning Release Chakra Mode and charged north at an even faster speed.

A moment later, four Iwa ninjas appeared in his line of sight.

"Only one person?"

"A decoy to cover the retreat?"

"It should be a clone, right?"

"This guy's name is Yu Feng Xuanma. According to intelligence, he sometimes has spatial abilities, so don't engage him in close combat!"

The four Iwa ninjas stopped abruptly and then simultaneously formed hand seals.

Earth-burrowing, core-shaking!

Rumble!

The earth shook violently, and Xuanma saw that the ground in front of him was rapidly rising.

No, it should be that the ground he is on is sinking, so the ground around him appears to be rising.

Xuanma's speed did not decrease, and it charged up the straight wall.

Sharp stone pillars jutted out from the rock face, aiming at the Xuanma that was rushing upwards at high speed.

Xuanma swung his sword, and a flash of azure light shattered the thick stone pillars. In a few breaths, he leaped to the ground.

The sound of air being torn apart rang in his ears, and Xuanma, who had just stepped onto the ground, was faced with a series of shrill rock cannons.

Without slowing down or using a substitution technique, Genma swung his sword, and one after another, rock-iron cannons exploded.

"So fast!"

The Iwa ninja exclaimed in alarm, one of them gritting his teeth and pressing his hands to the ground: "Watch out to the left, right, and above!"

Walls rose up from the ground, blocking their way.

Looking at the earth wall in front of him, Genma smiled, his long sword pointing straight forward, his lightning chakra highly concentrated and then extending outward.

In an instant, a light blade formed from pure lightning chakra pierced through the stone wall.

Behind the triple stone wall, the Iwa ninja who had cast the spell had just stood up when he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Looking down, he saw that his chest had been pierced through.

Chidori Sharp Spear!

In Sage Mode, Genma could easily master this technique without needing to specifically develop it.

The next moment, the Thousand Birds Spear slashed upwards, and amidst a shrill scream, the Iwa ninja's chest was cleaved open, and the three stone walls shattered and collapsed with a crash.

"Go back!"

The three Iwa ninjas retreated hastily, and lightning burst from the smoke and dust. Genma was even faster; before the three Iwa ninjas could even see clearly, he had already attacked, and in an instant, three corpses fell to the ground.

The black horse continued northward without stopping.

Soon, he sensed that he was surrounded.

But this was just a small encirclement, consisting of only a dozen or so Iwa ninja.

This time, Xuanma stopped on a bare little hill.

In less than two minutes, the Iwa ninja surrounded them.

"Is there a Jonin?"

Genma sensed the chakra intensity of these Iwa ninja and locked his gaze on a burly middle-aged man.

The man being targeted was none other than Iwagakure Jonin Ishio. Sensing Genma's gaze, he felt a chill run down his spine: "This brat, just as Oishi said, is an extremely dangerous guy!"

"And they deliberately stayed here, just to wait for us?"

Ishio secretly wondered, "So it's to attract our attention?"

"Then it's very likely just a shadow clone."

"Whether it's the main body or a shadow clone, we absolutely cannot be careless."

Ishio gestured to the others to attack.

The next moment, a barrage of iron cannon fire shot towards Xuanma on the small hill.

Genma shifted positions, swapping places with the rock cannons, and rapidly approached the Iwa ninja in a flash.

Suddenly, an Iwa ninja used Wind Release, and a violent gust of air swept across a large area, engulfing the Genma that had appeared in the air.

boom!

As the black horse landed, the ground beneath it immediately sank rapidly, and thick stone pillars grew out of the exposed stone walls all around, crisscrossing each other.

Genma looked up and saw Iwa ninjas standing on the edge of the rock wall, some shooting rock cannons at him, others throwing ninja tools with explosive tags attached.

Rumble!

The detonating tag shattered the stone pillar, sending a large amount of debris flying through the air, along with the incoming rock cannons. This inevitably affected the speed of the upward-rushing Xuanma, although these rock attacks and even the rock cannons could not break through his lightning armor defense.

Meanwhile, the exit above is gradually shrinking.

Surprisingly, the topmost part of the ground was closing in.

Xuanma charged upwards, and just as all the light was about to be blocked, the ground above suddenly exploded, forming huge rocks that crashed down and engulfed him in an instant.

Above, the Iwa ninja who had cast the spell breathed a slight sigh of relief when they saw the large crater they had created being covered up.

With such an attack, they should have been eliminated, right?

Ishio, still uneasy, shouted a warning: "We can't let our guard down until we're sure the enemy has been dealt with."

"The sensory ninja immediately determines whether there is still chakra activity below."

One of the Iwa ninja immediately formed hand seals to sense his surroundings, and soon exclaimed in shock, "That guy is still alive!"

"what?"

The many Iwa ninja were shocked and in uproar.

How come they're still alive?

Before they could take any action, a deafening explosion erupted, sending countless rocks soaring into the sky. Immediately afterward, the lightning-encircled Xuanma leaped out of the pit buried in the rubble.

"Well done!"

Xuanma chuckled lightly.

With a larger number of Iwa ninja and the addition of a Jonin to command them, the resulting combat power is completely different.

"Who exactly is this guy...?"

Looking at the unharmed Genma, Ishio's forehead was covered in sweat: "He seems even more difficult to deal with than his teacher."

"And is this the real body?"

Thinking this, he moved his hands quickly, forming hand seals rapidly.

But before the spell was complete, Xuanma had already vanished from his sight, leaving only a glimmer of azure lightning.

"So fast!"

"That speed is even faster than Konoha's White Fang!"

Ishio exclaimed in surprise.

Shuriken and iron cannons were all fired at Genma at once; these techniques were executed very quickly.

Then a wind-escape technique swept through, increasing the speed and power of the Rock Iron Cannon.

But this time, Xuanma galloped forward, defying the fierce wind.

Suddenly, two huge rocks stood up on the left and right, then closed together, perfectly sandwiching Xuanma in the middle.

Ishio, who had cast the spell, let out a long sigh: "Got him!"

Click!

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and Ishio's eyes widened instantly: "No way..."

Boom!

The two giant rocks that had been holding Xuanma apart exploded, and amidst the billowing smoke and dust, azure lightning bolts shot out.

Ishio immediately leaped backward, but while still in the air, he felt a sharp pain in his neck. He tried to resist, but his body was instantly numbed and powerless by an electric current.

"Ruined……"

Ishio was in despair; he couldn't even harden his skin, let alone create clones or stand-ins.

Just as Genma was grabbing Ishio's neck and falling from the air to the ground, a figure suddenly appeared on the side and punched Genma.

The fist grew larger and larger in front of him, and Xuanma finally saw who it was.

It’s the Explosive Escape Hunt!

Boom!

The landmine fist exploded, creating a shockwave. Ishii was blasted away by the punch, spitting blood from his mouth. He rolled to the ground, his fate unknown.

Damn it!

Explosion Release Hunter gritted his teeth, his fist bulging again, pushing him back to avoid Genma's chakra blade.

But Xuanma followed him like a shadow, appearing beside him in an instant.

boom!

Burst Hunter was kicked in the shoulder by Genma, and his whole body flew out like a broken sack, then crashed into the ground, creating a large crater.

"Cough cough..."

Coughing up blood, Explosion Release Hunter lay in the crater, his body still crackling with electricity: "I...I almost got killed!"

If he hadn't used Hardening Technique the moment he accidentally injured Ishio, that kick would have killed him.

Even so, Explosion Release Hunter felt that his shoulder bone was completely shattered, and other bones in other places were also broken by the terrifying force. Now his body was completely unable to move.

This kid is incredibly powerful!

Moreover, if this continues, they might die.

"Lord Kari!"
