A large amount of fire-style chakra spilled out from the Lightning Fla Blade, quickly expanding outward, making the air around them unbearably hot. The grass and surrounding trees were instantly set alight.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, the roar of a dragon echoed through the air. The fire-style chakra condensed, forming into a fierce flaming dragon. The dragon, as if forged from molten lava, glowed a fierce red and exuded intense heat.
The flaming dragon imdiately pounced on the two Chūnin, moving so fast they barely had ti to react before it struck. It consud both of them in an instant.
"Ah!" "Ah!"
Two desperate screams rang out as the dragon engulfed them, their bodies instantly consud by flas. Within monts, they were reduced to ashes, leaving nothing behind—not even bone fragnts.
The fire-style Great Dragon Fire Technique released by the Lightning Fla Blade had the power of an A-rank jutsu. Taking down two elite Chūnin from small ninja villages in the blink of an eye was no challenge at all.
After eliminating the two elite Chūnin, Jiraiya remained calm, showing no sign of emotional reaction, as if he had just squashed a couple of ants.
He reached out, pulling the Lightning Fla Blade back with his chakra, before charging after the enemy's main force once again.
"That kid is impressive. He took down them so quickly. He's no ordinary Chūnin. He must be a core disciple of one of Konoha's major clans, wielding powerful secret techniques."
Realizing that Jiraiya had once again caught up, the leading Jonin of Agakure was deeply astonished.
To have taken out three elite Chūnin in such a short ti already proved the boy's strength rivaled that of a Jonin.
"This kid's troubleso. This ti, I'll handle him myself," another Jonin muttered coldly, his gaze fixed greedily on Jiraiya.
They were all from small ninja villages with no powerful jutsu in their arsenal. If they could eliminate a core disciple of one of Konoha's prominent families, they might just acquire so extrely powerful techniques to elevate their own strength.
They had agreed to join the Rain Country's recruitnt, taking the risk to seize resources from the Land of Fire in the hope of obtaining strong jutsu.
"To think you'd dare invade Konoha's territory and seek your own death."
A cold voice suddenly rang out. A figure, dressed in white, appeared amidst the gathering ninjas of Agakure.
"Thud, thud!"
Two heads flew through the air as blades flashed. The two elite Chūnin were killed instantly.
The figure was none other than Hatake Sakumo.
"What speed!" Jiraiya exclaid in awe.
He had been using his Insight Eye the entire ti, so he could clearly see every move Hatake Sakumo made. The speed of his strikes was astonishing.
The Hatake clan was a small family in Konoha with no notable bloodline or powerful ninjutsu. The fact that soone like Hatake Sakumo, a genius, had erged from their ranks could be considered a miracle.
The swordsmanship Sakumo practiced was an inherited style passed down by his ancestors. It wasn't an exceptional technique by any ans. If it had been, the Hatake clan would have long since gained fa throughout Konoha.
But in Sakumo's hands, even an ordinary style beca incredibly powerful.
Many people believed that Sakumo's strength ca from the techniques passed down from his ancestors. However, this was a misunderstanding. It wasn't the inherited swordsmanship that made Sakumo strong, it was Sakumo who had elevated the technique to greatness.
The Jonin from Agakure, realizing Sakumo's presence, quickly ford a series of hand seals and unleashed a water-style jutsu toward him.
But Sakumo used Body Flicker Jutsu to dodge the attack with ease, then, in a flash, swung his White Fang sword and pierced the heart of another elite Chūnin.
Seeing this, the Jonin from Agakure's eyelids twitched involuntarily.
Hatake Sakumo's speed was simply too fast. The Konoha ninjas stationed here had far exceeded their expectations. Now, they hadn't even managed to find a single dicinal herb, and their numbers had already been halved.
Especially with this Jonin, who had suddenly appeared, the pressure on him was imnse.
When he locked eyes with Sakumo, he saw a terrifying look—Sakumo's gaze was as if he was looking at a dead man, signaling complete confidence in his own power.
The Jonin knew that although Sakumo was still relatively young, his strength was formidable. With the addition of that powerful Chūnin, the Jonin from Agakure had begun to doubt the success of their mission and was already considering retreat.
They had expected that the elite Chūnin gathered from various small ninja villages would be able to hold their own against Konoha's ninjas, but the reality was far different.
The other elite Chūnin, witnessing the deaths of their comrades one after another in such a short span of ti, began to panic. A few of them even started retreating toward the border.
They hadn't joined this mission to fight Konoha, they were recruited by Agakure for the mission to steal the dicinal herbs. Now that they were facing such strong enemies, they weren't about to risk their lives unnecessarily.
However, they didn't flee imdiately. After all, they were recruited by Agakure, and if they abandoned the mission now, they would surely be hunted down by Agakure's ninjas in the future.
"If you dare run, you know what your fate will be," the Jonin from Agakure spoke coldly.
Indeed, these small village ninjas were unreliable. Whether the mission succeeded or not, they would have to be eliminated.
The mont these ninjas from small villages agreed to work for Agakure, their deaths were already sealed. To prevent any leaks, Agakure would make sure they were silenced.
"Ryūga, go kill that Chūnin brat and co back to assist ," the Jonin from Agakure ordered.
"I've been itching for a fight," Ryūga said, licking his lips as he rushed toward Jiraiya.
"Whoosh!"
Noticing Ryūga's movent, Sakumo imdiately threw a kunai at him, intercepting him. Then, he spoke coldly, "You're my opponent."
When he arrived, Sakumo had already been concerned that sothing might have happened to Jiraiya. Now that Jiraiya was fine, he wasn't about to let another Jonin attack him.
Ryūga dodged the kunai with a sidestep without saying a word. He looked at Sakumo, his eyes filled with deep wariness.
"Leave him to . You're at a disadvantage facing two Jonin on your own," Jiraiya said as he appeared beside Sakumo, using Body Flicker Jutsu.
Right now, Sakumo was indeed strong, but he hadn't yet reached his peak. Fighting two Jonin at once would be extrely difficult, even for him, and might co at a cost.
"Can you handle it?" Sakumo asked, looking at Jiraiya with a raised brow.
He never expected Jiraiya to make such a bold statent. To him, Jiraiya was the lazy, unambitious kid who always hung around, looking for opportunities to peep. Now, to see him voluntarily challenge two Jonin was quite a surprise.
"When in doubt, let's settle this with a battle. Let's see who takes down their Jonin first," Jiraiya replied casually.
He intended to prove his worth with action, responding to Sakumo's doubts with his own strength.
