"Mina, can you sense the number of individuals from this distance?"

"There are a total of six individuals, but their chakra levels are not as high as yours. Two of them are similar to Kakashi-kun, and the remaining four are not on par with him, Yoichi-sama."

Uzumaki Mina, utilizing her abilities, briefly sensed the number of individuals and their chakra levels at the Iwa-nin outpost and relayed the information to Yoichi.

The distance from here to the Iwa-nin outpost exceeds one kilometer. If they were closer, Mina's sensory perception would be even clearer.

"A bit unexpected, but it hasn't reached the level of two squads. I'll draw their frontal fire later."

After a quick observation through binoculars, Yoichi continued speaking to Kakashi, "The enemy hasn't detected any shinobi. Kakashi, you handle the two lower-ranked shinobi with your Earth jutsu, then assist me with ninjutsu."

Having mastered the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, whether in terms of speed or physical defense, it suited him to draw frontal fire. Moreover, Lightning Release countered Earth Release, making Iwa-nin most troubled when encountering Cloud Ninjas who practiced the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

"Do you remember what I said?"

Upon hearing this, Kakashi responded with his usual deadpan expression, "Of course, Captain."

This time, they didn't need to wear the headbands of the Cloud Ninjas. The mission was to eliminate them all; wearing headbands or not was meaningless.

After finalizing the details, the three individuals dispersed.

Mina wouldn't need to take action; she was responsible for guarding the perimeter.

Yoichi wasn't skilled in stealth, and the Iwa-nin outpost wasn't completely devoid of vigilance. Once Yoichi approached within eight hundred meters, he was detected by the Iwa-nin responsible for surveillance.

"Enemies!"

Just as the Iwa-nin responsible for surveillance sent out the signal, Yoichi abandoned stealth, his body pulsating with lightning. He dashed towards the Iwa-nin outpost with lightning speed.

"Enemies? Prepare to engage! Formation B!"

Upon hearing the transmission from their fellow Iwa-nin outside, the leader of the Iwa-nin outpost immediately issued orders.

Subsequently, a group of individuals emerged swiftly from the underground. The very moment they left the outpost, they witnessed a streak of lightning rushing toward their village teammates who were on guard duty outside.

The speed bestowed by the Lightning Release Chakra Mode was beyond what ordinary shinobi could react to. Furthermore, the Iwa-nin guarding outside were merely low-ranked.

Witnessing Yoichi charging towards them at incredible speed, fear surged within them.

"Darn it, die!"

Shuriken, explosive tags!

However, these attacks posed minimal threat to Yoichi's Sharingan. During his swordsmanship practice, he had faced three of Kakashi's shuriken attacks, which were far more dangerous than what he faced now.

He dodged left and right, parrying and slashing with his sword. Even the explosive tags didn't pose much threat to Yoichi.

Within these brief seconds, Yoichi had already closed the distance to the Iwa-nin guarding the outpost to less than five meters.

This distance felt like the arrival of the Grim Reaper, causing the Iwa-nin guarding to lose all thoughts of resistance.

"Stop!"

"This time, I'm going to die, Father, Mother..."

As this thought flashed through his mind, the Iwa-nin guarding felt a dizzying sensation. Amidst the rotation, he seemed to see his own body, the terrifying figure from just moments ago, and his captain and teammates in the distance.

"You damn bastard!"

The leader of the Iwa-nin outpost emerged with a grim expression. Initially, he thought it was the Cloud Ninjas who were attacking them, especially with that jutsu pulsating with lightning, which seemed unique to them.

However, upon seeing the Sharingan of Yoichi, the captain of the Iwa-nin team stopped his voice again, his face turning ugly as he said, "I just told you to stop!"

"Fool!"

After Yoichi cursed, his body once again surged with lightning and electricity, rushing towards this team of Iwa-nin.

"Hmph, Lightning Release Chakra Mode, attack together, Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!"

After the order from the Iwa-nin captain, he formed hand seals with both hands and then quickly pressed his palms to the ground.

Instantly, a huge trench appeared in the earth, accompanied by intense vibrations, directly impeding Uchiha Yoichi's forward charge.

There was considerable animosity between the Iwa-nin and the Kumo-nin, so the Iwa-nin were already adept at countering the Kumo-nin's Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

Earth-Style Wall and Earth-Style Wall Palm: one obstructed the line of sight, and the other hindered the speed of the charge, which was extremely effective against Kumo-nin, who only knew how to charge head-on.

However, that was when the Iwa-nin were gathered together, and Yoichi was not a Kumo-nin.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

After forming hand seals, a large, blazing flame about four or five meters in diameter surged towards the Iwa-nin, but Yoichi's target wasn't the Iwa-nin captain, but his surrounding four companions!

"Dodge!"

One of the Iwa-nin shouted loudly, but as they leaped aside, they found dozens of shurikens flying towards them, and these shurikens collided in the air, altering their trajectory.

Instantly sending shivers down the spines of these Iwa-nin.

They had originally planned to counterattack with shurikens, knocking down all the shurikens thrown by Uchiha Yoichi, but they hadn't expected his shurikens to collide in mid-air, changing their trajectory.

"Quick, dodge!"

Now they could only roll on the ground as soon as they landed, otherwise, they would be pierced by the shurikens.

Although their dodging looked somewhat unsightly, there was no need to care about appearances on the battlefield; survival was the top priority.

However, after rolling on the ground to avoid the shurikens, the bare feet of three of the lower-ranked ninjas were suddenly grabbed by a pair of hands emerging from the ground, causing them to panic.

At the same time, a voice came from underground: "One of the ninja rules, even in combat with the enemy, one must always be vigilant against attacks from the shadows."

"Ah!"

"Gah!"

"Captain, help!"

The three of them were pulled underground directly, and then before they could finish pleading for help, blood sprayed from their mouths, and in just a few seconds, they were gone.

"Bastard!"

The Iwa-nin captain cursed angrily, but a hint of fear crept into his heart; today, he was probably doomed.

Meanwhile, Kakashi emerged from underground, wielding a short knife and locking onto another Iwa-nin, saying, "Captain, leave this one to me."

"Understood."

Although Yoichi wanted to ask Kakashi if his chakra could still hold up, he couldn't say such information-exposing words with enemies before him.

I'll deal with the other first!

Ten minutes later, all the Iwa-nin at this Iwa-nin outpost were killed by Yoichi's team.

Seeing that all the enemies were eliminated, Mina walked out from the shadows and handed a water pouch to Yoichi, saying, "Captain, take a break."

Yoichi took the water and said, "Hmm, thanks. The mission is complete, Kakashi, eat some soldier pills to restore chakra, Mina, keep an eye on the enemy at all times. We're relatively close to the Land of Earth."

"Understood."

After the two of them responded, they each went about their tasks.

After cleaning up the Iwa-nin outpost and taking away all the useful items inside, Mina also used sensory ninjutsu as usual.

However, after her sensory ability expanded, Mina's expression changed suddenly.

She quickly said to Yoichi, "Captain, enemies are coming. There are seven of them in total, only three of them have chakra inferior to yours, and one of them has much, much more chakra than you."
