章節 228: Chapter 228 There's Always Someone Who Can Handle Him, But What If There's More Than One?
The Yellow Flash reappeared as Naruto instantly activated the Flying Thunder God Technique. Because of the words of the Sunagakure's Jonin, everyone's eyes were fixed on the flying kunai.
But at the next moment, Naruto teleported directly to behind the short Jonin.
His objectives were always clear: kill the female Jonin first, then the short one. Just now, he was not stalling for show, but was waiting for someone to say 'watch out for those kunai".
Watch out for those kunai? The Flying Thunder God's imprint doesn't have to be on kunai alone. It can be placed on anything, even grass, trees, or people.
Naruto lamented that the Land of Snow's mission had not been restarted yet and he had not received the reward for the complete Flying Thunder God. Otherwise, he would not have to go through so much trouble to calculate back and forth like this.
Given the strength of the Sunagakure's Jonin, the Konoha Genin collectively wouldn't stand a chance. But Naruto was still classified as a Genin only because he couldn't pass the Chunin Exams.
The Kyubi's Chakra granted him a triple-speed burst. In the instant he teleported behind the short Jonin, that Jonin's eyes were still glued to the kunai scattering in the air.
The moment he caught sight of the blonde hair, a chill ran down his spine.
Naruto gathered a Rasengan with one hand. This is a Ninjutsu that could completely destroying a target's bodily functions, like a spiraling machine whose harmless appearance belies its destructive power.
As he swiftly pressed the chakra orb forward, the fiery red Kyubi's Chakra exploded, creating a spiral-twisted, horrifying blood hole in the short Jonin's chest.
Naruto, moving at an impossible speed, destroyed the heart of the short Jonin, then instantly turned and appeared behind another Chunin.
He flashed through the battlefield, drawing the Kusanagi Sword, and in an instant, blood sprayed among the Sunagakure's Shinobi. Naruto swung the sword with one hand, seemingly without a pattern, slashing as he moved.
With a dozen or so one-time-use Flying Thunder God Kunai, he could only teleport a dozen times. The sword pierced through the throat of a Sunagakure's Chunin, and in the moment he pulled it out, he vanished again.
The teleportation happened in a blink, and within a few seconds, the dozen teleports were complete.
The Kusanagi Sword was used like a butcher's knife, cutting through the blood mist and slicing the necks of the Sunagakure's Shinobi one after another. The browned-faced Sunagakure's Jonin was now paralyzed from fear, as the situation was reversed in an instant.
In a blink of an eye, only seven or eight people were left out of team with more than 30 people. The short Jonin lay on the ground in agony. There was no Medical-nin to relieve his pain. There was also a hole as big as a watermelon in his chest. It can be seen that he was already beyond saving.
"You've got to be kidding me!!! Wasn't he supposed to be dead?" The last Sunagakure's Jonin muttered, his face turned pale in an instant, and his lips trembled slightly.
It was a foolproof plan, but it ended up failing.
In the rear, the members of Team 10 and Team 8 were dead silent. It wasn't that they enjoyed watching, but they simply couldn't intervene. After all, this was already beyond the capacity of Genin.
Shikamaru wanted to use his strategic thinking, but it seemed his mind couldn't keep up with the sheer muscle force on display.
Neji glanced at them without saying a word, his expression calm as usual. Shikamaru glanced at the members of Team 3 and his face twitched slightly. He then asked in a low voice, "Hey… Why do you guys look like you're used to this?"
"Do a few missions with that guy, and you'll get used to it too. Where do you think his 100% mission completion rate comes from?" Neji recalled some less-than-pleasant memories, and his face looked a little grim.
"The only purpose of teaming up with that scoundrel might be just one thing: To prevent him from accidentally killing the client along with everyone else."
Neji turned his head and stared at Shikamaru gloomily. His serious expression, combined with what he was saying at the moment, created an awkward contrast in the daylight.
"Don't ask."
Naruto was not stupid. There were three Jonin on the other side, and he couldn't possibly deal with all three at the same time. Besides, if he got held up, the others could be in danger.
On the other side, Temari and her brothers were still buried under the valley. Before releasing the technique, they needed to be dug out quickly. Otherwise, once the technique was undone, the siblings would be crushed by tons of soil.
Naruto, with the sword hilt stained with blood, casually planted it into the ground as the Konoha's Genin swarmed forward.
"Damn it! Why did you bury them so deep?" Kiba threw his shovel aside, immediately grabbing Akamaru to perform the Fang Passing Fang technique, drilling a big hole in the ground.
The Sunagakure's Shinobi had already been completely dealt with, with corpses lay scattered outside the valley. The Konoha's Genin stood on enemy territory, trying every method they could think of to dig their targets out of the collapsed valley.
"How was I supposed to know?" Naruto also tossed his shovel to the side.
Kurama was lying lazily on a tall rock sunbathing with a bottle of sake in its arms. He had seen the entire battle just now, and his evaluation was only three words: Flashy but useless.
'If it were up to me, a single Bijudama would have sufficed. Hmph, not that I would ever lift a paw unless that kid offered it a hundred bottles of top-shelf booze. Only then might I consider it.'
"Dig properly! Our mission target is down there." Shikamaru said, sweating under the scorching sun. He had taken off his jacket, revealing a mesh long sleeve underneath, with the usual dead fish eyes.
Holding a shovel, Shikamaru looked like an old farmer. He shaded his eyes to glance at the sky, "Hurry up, the people in those coffins are probably running out of air."
"This is also a form of training!" Lee shouted as he moved a large boulder aside, throwing it away with a roar, panting and wiping his sweat.
Everyone was covered in dust and dirt. Just a moment ago, they had been fighting for their lives, and now each had a shovel, digging people out. They all tacitly kept quiet about what had just happened. Even though they knew Naruto was different from them, it didn't matter.
A monster is still a monster, but hadn't villagers mentioned that before? Just act like you didn't hear it. After all, even monsters don't have to hide alone in the dark, and they can have friends too.
"There's definitely something wrong with your technique!" Kiba, Naruto's number one critic, couldn't resist complaining between shoveling, "If you can bury people, why can't you get them out?"
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Just dig it yourself." Naruto pretended to leave.
He looked up and saw Kurama, that dumb fox, lying on the rock in a strangely elegant pose, basking in the sun, with one leg raised up and staring at him, who was digging the soil with sweat dripping down his face.
In the bright sunlight, Naruto could clearly see the teasing grin on Kurama's face.
'Tsk, that stupid dog is gloating, just wait.'
Naruto rolled up his sleeves and was about to drag Kurama down to help dig. Kiba, who was standing beside him, thought that Naruto really didn't want to dig it anymore, so he immediately called out to him, "Hey, where are you going? Keep digging."
Shikamaru also turned towards Naruto and said with a sigh, "Cut it out, guys. If we delay any longer, the mission target will really die."
"I'm done." Naruto grumbled sullenly. He was determined to pull Kyubi down to dig.
"Hinata!"
"Ino!"
Kiba and Shikamaru called out for help simultaneously, but they were immediately stunned. They looked at each other with a horrified look. Their heart skipped a beat.
They originally thought that there would always be someone who could deal with Naruto, but now, it would be a different story if there was more than one person who could.

章節 229: Chapter 229 No One Responded
Naruto glanced back, and the atmosphere immediately tensed.
Under the sunlight, the group was scattered, busy digging. Ino stood on a hillside, shovel in hand, casting a glance in Naruto's direction before silently resuming her digging.
Hinata, using her Byakugan, anxiously observed the three people below. Gaara was unconscious, while Temari and Kankuro's breathing seemed to be getting increasingly labored.
Hearing Kiba call her, Hinata jerked her head up, only to hear Ino's name as well. Her face instantly turned red as she lowered her head again. She wasn't sure how to face this situation, so she decided to pretend she hadn't heard anything.
She was naturally timid, and after confronting Ino in the bathhouse to express her stance, her courage was almost completely drained. She had reached her limit.
'No one responded.' Shikamaru and Kiba exchanged a stunned look, realizing something was off. Their minds raced, trying to come up with an excuse to ease the awkward tension.
Ino, Hinata, and even Naruto didn't feel particularly awkward. After all, their relationship with Naruto was shrouded in a vague ambiguity, and turning that into a clear romantic relationship wouldn't be easy.
Both girls understood the situation well. One was the eldest princess of the Hyuga Clan, and the other was the only daughter of the Yamanaka Clan's Clan Head. They could fall in love with almost anyone in the village and make it work… except for Naruto.
When Tsunade had pushed Naruto into the limelight and openly showed her favoritism, everyone understood the Godaime Hokage's intentions: she wanted Naruto to become Hokage.
Sasuke's defection had made the higher-ups hold back a bit. Konoha couldn't afford to lose another of its new generation of Shinobi, nor could it lose its Jinchuriki.
The influential adults of Konoha observed the unfolding chess game from above, ready to make sacrifices and exchanges aligned with their interests when necessary.
After all, Hokage may come and go, but the noble clans remain constant. They didn't care who became Hokage, as long as it benefited them.
The situation was too complicated, so both Ino and Hinata tacitly avoided the thorny issues. After all, they were still young, with plenty of time ahead of them.
However, the boys' thoughts weren't as nuanced. Shikamaru and Kiba naturally assumed that ambiguity meant they should be together. They envisioned dramatic, storybook scenario, an earth-shaking romance where 'you belong only to me and no one else can have you'.
In their minds, liking the same person automatically made them rivals, and they expected some intense showdown. Or perhaps tearful confrontations forcing Naruto to choose between the two, the more melodramatic, the better… a battle over private possession.
In reality, the two girls weren't as childish as Shikamaru and Kiba imagined. If anything, it was Shikamaru and Kiba who didn't understand these things.
Shikamaru, a genius who could navigate high EQ purely through his IQ, and Kiba, a hot-headed fool whose goal was to become Hokage so he could turn Konoha into a village of dogs.
These two, an odd combination that didn't mesh well at all, ended up creating a strangely comedic scene. While the people directly involved weren't embarrassed, Shikamaru and Kiba were awkward to the point of stiffness.
"Ino, maybe you should contact the people down there now." Shikamaru suggested, trying to smooth things over.
"Hinata, are they still alive? We're almost through. Try to pinpoint their location again so we don't dig in the wrong spot." Kiba added nervously, his entire demeanor jittery.
Hearing this, Naruto withdrew his gaze and ignored them. He leapt up to the top of a large rock and grabbed Kurama by the scruff, lifting him up.
In the sunlight, Kurama's limbs flailed, his fiery red fur gleaming as if it were about to catch fire.
Tenten, glancing up as she took a break from digging, caught sight of the scene and couldn't help but stare, momentarily stunned.
"Got it." Ino muttered, tossing her shovel aside. She quickly formed a series of hand seals, attempting to communicate with the Sunagakure's siblings buried below.
Hinata, hearing Kiba's words, hurriedly responded with a 'Got it'. However, worried she might mess up, she glanced towards Neji. Just as she was about to ask for guidance, Neji gave her a sidelong glance and said, "Just do it."
"Okay." Hinata nodded nervously, her mind a bit muddled.
She formed a simple hand seal and she swiftly activated her Byakugan. Veins bulged around her eyes, giving her a fierce appearance, but the result was unexpectedly good. She quickly reported the precise location.
"They're about five steps to your left and about eight meters down."
"Alright! Akamaru, let's go!" Kiba exclaimed, feeling a rush of accomplishment as if he had finally found his purpose in digging. He enthusiastically performed his Fang Passing Fang technique with Akamaru.
Soon, a large pit appeared before the group. Covered in dirt, Kiba shook himself off, grabbed a shovel, and jumped into the pit. He drove the shovel into the ground, and with a dull thud, it struck wood.
"We did it!" Kiba cheered happily.
Lee and Neji jumped in, working together with shovels in hands to unearth a white coffin. Kiba fiddled with the coffin for a long time but found that it was impossible to open it. He looked up at the people standing outside the deep pit.
"Tell that guy to undo his Ninjutsu! Damn it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Kiba squinted and saw a figure slowly approach the edge of the pit, holding a dog in his hand. He felt a bit annoyed, thinking this was hardly the time for such antics.
'Kurosuki Raiga's Funeral, Release.'
With a thought, Naruto caused the white coffin to vanish, and Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara tumbled out. Gaara was covered in blood, while Temari and Kankuro were already unconscious.
The distance made it hard for Naruto to see if they were still breathing, but judging by Neji's calm demeanor, it seemed likely that the Sand siblings were alive, and thye simply passed out.
Lee, Neji, and Kiba quickly carried the trio out of the pit. Sakura was about to move forward to heal them, but Shikamaru stopped her.
"They're not in critical condition. Let's get out of here first and head back to the Land of Fire before we do anything."
Sakura nodded, having no objections. As a Medical-nin, her primary role was to follow orders. After a quick glance to confirm that the three were as Shikamaru described, she slowly stepped back.
This was a mission, not a picnic, so no one objected. With Shikamaru's thorough planning and his role as team leader, the group followed his orders without question and retreated with the unconscious Sunagakure's siblings into the forests of the Land of Fire.
