The three Sunagakure’s Jonin and a group of Chunin were stunned, ‘What the heck just popped out and buried the targets like that?’

The thick dust in the air obscured their vision, but the sight of black-robed mourners carrying white coffins was too eye-catching to ignore. They appeared suddenly, buried the targets, and vanished.

"They're not dead?"

"Those brats from Konoha are here!"

"We are in the territory of the Land of Wind. We just need to repel them and continue the mission!" The female Jonin shouted. At this point, they could only forcefully complete their mission.

But this was not something that could be publicized. Unless absolutely necessary, it was best not to stir up further trouble.

The female Jonin quickly formed hand seals and launched a sharp Wind Release attack at Naruto. Naruto didn’t even blink, and just jumped back three times to dodge the Wind Ninjutsu.

"That brat..." The female Jonin's expression grew serious, and then she began to quickly form hand seals again.

The other two Sunagakure’s Jonin also rushed towards Naruto, with over twenty Sunagakure’s Shinobi following closely behind. Their goal was to repel the Konoha’s Genin Team.

The best course of action would be to seriously injure or kill one or two of the Genin, forcing their retreat. And if Konoha pursued the matter later, they can just say that it’s Konoha who trespassed into the Land of Wind first.

"Capture that brat! He’s the one who ruined our plan!" The short Sunagakure’s Jonin shouted, "Make him undo that thing, then cripple him!"

The bowl-faced, brown-skinned Jonin finished his hand seals and slapped the ground, causing it to sink. A mound of earth erupted from below, advancing toward Naruto.

Naruto deftly retreated, not forcing a confrontation with the Sunagakure’s Shinobi. ‘Kurosuki Raiga’s Funeral’ was a rule-based technique, meaning that the three siblings wouldn’t die anytime soon.

‘At worst, they might suffer from a lack of oxygen, but that was still better than being crushed to death by falling rocks.’

Before he even looked at the options that popped up in the system, he had already taken the life and death of the three Sunagakure’s siblings into his own hands, effectively breaking the one-sided blame game the Sunagakure’s Shinobi were trying to play.

In this situation, anyone could see that Konoha’s intel had been leaked long ago. Naruto didn’t know who had leaked the plan, but that didn’t stop him from pinning the blame on Danzo for now.

‘That old thief Danzo, you really deserve to die!’

"Konoha Whirlwind!" "Revolving Heaven!" "Twin Rising Dragon!"

Team 3 flanked from the side, moving faster than the other two Genin Teams with greater coordination. When they saw Naruto retreating continuously, they rushed forward to cover him

This is the tacit understanding that Naruto and Team 3 have developed through long-term missions and battles, allowing for alternating offensive tactics. The three briefly clashed with the charging Sunagakure’s Shinobi, buying Naruto a moment to catch his breath.

To the Sunagakure’s Shinobi, it seemed like they lost sight of Naruto the instant Team 3 blocked them with their techniques. Lee kicked a Sunagakure’s Shinobi away and immediately retreated, not lingering in the fight.

Tenten used a long-range attack, and stopped immediately after the attack. Neji used Revolving Heaven to send two Shinobi flying before promptly withdrawing, engaging only briefly.

They weren’t a match for the Jonin unless they risked their lives, and even then, it would be a tough battle. Moreover, they were well aware that the main attacker for Team 3 was someone else.

"Lava Release!"

In that instant, Naruto leaped high into the air, his hand glowing molten red, as if gripping scalding magma. His eyes were cold as he charged straight at the short Sunagakure’s Jonin.

The short Jonin was initially startled but then smirked. He had the advantage in height, making it difficult to be locked onto. As long as he moved flexibly, even if the one on the other side is Jonin, they would find it hard to harm him easily.

Watching Naruto descend from above, the short Sunagakure’s Jonin began forming hand seals.

Meanwhile, the female Jonin, eyeing the still-lingering dust, instinctively sensed something was off. They clearly had the upper hand, facing just a group of Genin, yet the sudden silence made her uneasy.

Suddenly, a kunai soared through the air, moving at a speed so slow it seemed like a panicked rookie on the battlefield had thrown it with eyes shut.

There is no accuracy, speed or power. It can be imagined what a loser the thrower of this kunai is.

‘His steps are loose and his reactions are slow, he’s completely a rookie.’

The female Jonin’s gaze grew dim, and she mocked herself internally for being overly sensitive. Missions kept her mind perpetually tense, and now she found herself wary even of mere group of Genin.

The kunai approached her, but the female Jonin didn’t feel like moving, as she could dodge the attack by just tilting her head slightly.

Meanwhile, the short Jonin bent down, obscuring the enemy’s line of sight, and swiftly sidestepped, a whirlwind of wind blades surging from his hands.

The countless wind blades screeched as they headed straight for Naruto, who had missed his mark.

"Go to hell! You little brat!" The short Sunagakure’s Jonin snarled, a bloodthirsty grin spreading across his face. He was all too familiar with this scene. In the next moment, he expected to see the terrified eyes of his opponent.

In another second, half of his opponent’s body would be torn apart like shredded cotton soaked in blood. It will be a gruesome sight rivaling a pig being crushed by a grinder.

However, as the wind blades were about to pierce the enemy’s body, he showed no trace of fear. Instead, Naruto smiled at him.

‘What the…’ The short Sunagakure’s Jonin thought, gritting his teeth. Not seeing the fear in his opponent’s eyes before death left him annoyed, ‘If he wasn’t scared, then let him die.’

Naruto was not in a hurry, and his smile was full of naked contempt. He was so close to the short Sunagakure’s Jonin that it was almost face-to-face mockery, as if laughing at his height.

Even though he didn't say anything, even though his attack missed, even while facing imminent impalement by the Jonin’s wind blades, Naruto’s eyes habitually showed disdain, his face full of scorn.

However, Naruto’s figure suddenly vanished into thin air, and the sharp wind blades struck nothing but empty space. Feeling no feedback from his attack, the short Jonin stunned for a split second.

At that moment, as the female Jonin tilted her head to avoid the kunai, something suddenly appeared next to the lackluster kunai, erupting with the glow of Lava Release. The scorching molten lava slammed directly onto the female Jonin’s face.

“Ah!!!---" Her scream was abruptly cut off as her mouth and vocal cords were incinerated.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the Sunagakure’s female Jonin met her demise. From the moment Team 3 arrived for support to Naruto’s counterattack, less than thirty seconds had passed.

It was clear that the person Naruto pounced on just now was a short Sunagakure’s Jonin, but in the next instant, he appeared in front of the Sunagakure’s female Jonin, delivering a fatal blow.

With a swift maneuver, Naruto managed to deal a devastating blow, practically reducing the female Jonin to ashes. She collapsed to the ground with a thud, lifeless and disfigured.
