Naruto: Starting as the Third Hokage with Tears in His Eyes

Chapter 446 The Edge of the New Generation Class 7

Si—Wei—Shen—Hai—Wu—Yin!

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

A series of intricate handprints were rapidly completed on Obito Uchiha's chest. He took a deep breath, his chest bulging, and then transformed all the chakra he had accumulated into a huge, orange-red ball of destructive flame, which violently erupted from his mouth.

"boom--!"

A massive orange-red fireball tore through the dim sky, crashing down on the Iwagakure squad that was resting, accompanied by a deafening roar that burned everything in its path!

Flames licked the damp tree trunk, sizzling and sending up plumes of white mist.

"Enemy attack!"

"They're Konoha ninjas!"

The Iwagakure ninjas are indeed elite; their reaction speed is astonishing.

A second before the fireball landed, several ninjas simultaneously slapped the ground with one hand.

"Earth Release·Earth Style Wall!"

Boom!

Several thick earthen walls rose from the ground, precisely blocking the fireball's path. The two collided, producing a dull thud, with dirt and sparks flying everywhere.

"Wow! Did you see that?! This is the magnificent entrance of the future Hokage, Uchiha Obito!"

Obito landed steadily on the ground, excitedly waving his fist, his face behind his goggles flushed red with excitement.

However, the next second, three dark figures suddenly sprang up from the battlefield, which was in ruins from the flames and earthen walls, forming a triangular shape and rushing toward the loud and boisterous Obito from three completely different and tricky angles.

Their hands were covered with a rough, rocky texture, their aim aimed directly at Obito's vitals.

too fast!

Obito's excitement hadn't completely subsided when his body reacted a beat too slowly.

He only had time to make a barely perceptible blocking stance, his mind racing with alarm bells.

Worse!

"Fool!"

A low shout, as cold as a quenched blade, exploded in Obito's ears.

Immediately afterwards, a silver-white afterimage, moving faster than the three Iwa ninja, ghost-like cut between him and the enemy!

That shadow was Kakashi Hatake.

He kept his body extremely low, almost gliding along the ground, and the white fang dagger at his waist was already unsheathed, leaving a pale white streak in the dim forest.

"Pfft!"

The Iwa ninja on the far left didn't even see what happened. He only felt a chill on his neck and a tremendous force came from his side, sending his body flying out uncontrollably.

Blood drew a tragic arc in mid-air.

"Stop showing off, make sure you know where the enemy is!"

After killing one person, Kakashi didn't pause at all. He spun around and used his short sword to block the second Iwa ninja's petrified fist, sending up a string of dazzling sparks.

"I...of course I saw it!"

"Thanks... Kakashi."

Obito blushed, trying to explain himself, but his body had already started moving instinctively.

He did a backflip to create distance, while simultaneously forming hand seals again.

This time, he didn't choose the powerful and sweeping Fireball Jutsu, but instead used a more flexible technique.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!"

puff!puff!puff!

Several fist-sized fireballs, like a shower of flowers, accurately struck the remaining two Iwa ninja.

One of the fireballs cleverly blocked the retreat route of the Iwa ninja who was fighting Kakashi.

Kakashi immediately seized the opportunity, pushed off with his feet, leaned forward, and slammed his shoulder into the other's arms, disrupting his balance.

"You're welcome, you idiot."

"Who's the idiot?!"

With a defiant retort, Kakashi's short sword cleanly pierced the heart of the last Iwa ninja from the outside in.

In just a few seconds, three Iwagakure ninjas were killed.

Back to back, the two engaged in a clumsy yet strangely harmonious teamwork in the chaotic front of the battlefield.

On the other side of the battlefield, the commander of the Iwagakure forces, Jonin Haishi, watched all of this with a solemn expression.

He was not angry about the deaths of his three men; instead, he calmly analyzed the situation.

"They're kids from Konoha... but they work together very well."

Graystone muttered to himself, "Looks like they're Konoha's new generation of elites. Heh, are they planning to use us for training?"

He was just about to give the order for the troops to retract their formation and stabilize the situation when a strong sense of crisis made him suddenly look up.

A golden figure appeared on the flank of the group at some point, standing quietly on a tree branch.

He had short, golden hair, a handsome face, and wore the green vest of a Konoha Jonin.

"Damn it, a Jonin from Konoha..."

Greystone's throat felt a little dry.

Minato Namikaze didn't speak, but with a flick of his wrist, dozens of specially made trident-shaped kunai rained down on Iwagakure's position.

"Defend!" Graystone shouted sharply.

The Iwa ninja were well-trained and immediately rebuilt the earthen wall or wielded kunai to block.

Ding ding ding!

Some of the Flying Thunder God kunai were blocked by the earthen wall or knocked away by ninja tools, but a few were stuck in the surrounding open ground or nailed to tree trunks, appearing to pose no threat.

"Hmph, what a joke..."

An Iwa ninja looked at the kunai stuck not far from his feet and curled his lip in disdain. "I thought it was some kind of powerful character, but its accuracy is terrible."

Greystone also breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the quality of Konoha's Jonin is quite uneven.

No matter how fast you are, if your attack can't hit the target, it's just a joke.

We can't let him have the chance to use that large-scale throwing technique again!

Without further hesitation, Graystone stomped his feet heavily on the ground and charged towards the golden figure like a cannonball.

"Kid, let me send you on your way!"

He made a decision in his heart, quickly formed a hand seal in front of his chest, then slammed his hands together and slammed them hard on the ground.

"Earth Release: Mountain Earth Technique!"

Graystone was going to use his most proficient control-type ninjutsu to completely suppress this blond Konoha ninja in one strike.

As chakra erupted, the ground beneath Minato Namikaze's feet trembled violently, and two enormous, mountain-like hemispherical rocks suddenly rose from the ground, slamming down on Minato with tremendous force.

This is a B-rank Earth Release ninjutsu from Iwagakure (Hidden Rock Village). With absolute power and mass, it crushes and seals the enemy alive within the rocks.

"It's a success!"

When the two huge rocks completely closed with a loud boom, the surrounding rock ninja cheered.

A cruel smile also appeared on Graystone's face.

If my Mountain and Earth Technique hits you head-on, even the Third Hokage wouldn't be able to escape easily.
