After a moment's hesitation, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked up and said, "Genma, tell Sakumo to infiltrate the Land of Rain and find the person behind the mission."
"Other teams will be dispatched to the border immediately to take over."
Xuanma nodded: "Understood!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Go!"
Xuanma bowed respectfully, and then with a bang, the matter was resolved.
At the border, Genma, who was resting cross-legged under a tree, opened his eyes, then got up and went to his teacher, Hatake Sakumo.
"Has the Hokage given any orders?"
Sakumo Hatake opened his eyes and asked.
Yamashiro Aoba and Shizune, who were on night watch, also looked over at that moment.
Genma nodded: "The Third Hokage ordered my teacher to infiltrate the Land of Rain and find out who was behind the mission."
"Other teams will come to take over the mission here."
Upon hearing this, Hatake Sakumo stood up and said, "In that case, I will set off immediately. Genma, you will lead the team here. Once the team that takes over arrives, you will lead the team to the border of the Land of Rain to meet me."
Both Shizune and Yamashiro Aoba were shocked to hear this.
Xuanma calmly said, "Teacher, normally there's no problem with this arrangement."
"But in fact, I am more suited to gather intelligence than you."
"My transformation technique has an absolute advantage."
Sakumo Hatake patted his disciple on the shoulder and said gently, "Transformation Technique is only one aspect. You are still young, so there's no need to rush."
The situation in the Land of Rain was too complicated, and he didn't want his disciples to take any risks.
But Genma had a different idea: "Teacher, although I lack experience, my abilities are more than enough to make up for it."
"Moreover, there is something even more important: we need you here, teacher."
"While intelligence is important, border defense against infiltration is actually even more important."
Hearing this, Jingyin hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
Yamashiro Aoba opened her mouth, but no words came out.
He wanted to go with Genma, but given his strength, he might become a burden.
Sakumo Hatake fell into deep thought.
The point that border defense against infiltration is even more important impressed him!
Seeing his teacher hesitate, Genma added fuel to the fire: "Teacher, besides, I'm only going to the Land of Rain first."
"Once the new team arrives, the teacher can lead them into the Land of Rain."
"And I can summon you, my teachers, to my side at any time."
Sakumo Hatake asked in confusion, "Spiritual communication?"
Shizune's eyes lit up, and she immediately spoke up to help explain: "Genma's summoning jutsu doesn't require a contract. As long as there's a chakra connection or a biological sample, he can summon directly."
Genma immediately took out a small scroll from his ninja tool pouch and smiled, "A small improvement."
Yamashiro Aoba adjusted his custom-made sunglasses: "As small as a mountain."
After a moment's thought, Hatake Sakumo nodded: "Okay."
"The team that takes over will probably set off overnight and arrive by noon tomorrow at the latest."
"We've agreed on a time, tomorrow at 3 PM. You can find a suitable place to have us communicate with the spirits."
Genma readily agreed, "Yes, teacher."
"Then, I'll set off immediately."
Shizune said worriedly, "Let's wait until our chakra recovers before we set off!"
Genma laughed and said, "Don't worry, there's no problem with the chakra."
"Don't forget, I also have Wood Release Chakra Mode."
"Come on, leave your handprints."
Xuanma unrolled the scroll.
This is not a psychic scroll, but it is made of the same material as a psychic scroll.
Sakumo Hatake and the other two bit their fingers and left their handprints on the blank scroll.
Then Xuanma put away the scroll, waved his hand, and without any hesitation, disappeared into the darkness right before the eyes of the three.
At the junction of the three kingdoms, this place is a barren wasteland.
-
Genma stopped on a hill and looked towards the Land of Rain in the darkness.
This intelligence gathering is neither particularly difficult nor particularly easy.
The direct presumption of guilt is either Hanzo or Iwagakure.
That would make things much easier.
"It's best to resolve this before the squad regroups tomorrow afternoon."
"By the way, if we can cause some trouble, let's cause some trouble!"
Genma sat down on the ground and opened the [Settings Collection] after pondering for a moment.
12 points setting!
It is exactly an integer.
The vast majority of the revenue came from the chain reaction caused by the premature initiation of the war last time, and since the war is ongoing, there will definitely be more revenue, so it will accumulate little by little.
So Xuanma couldn't resist trying to do something funny again.
"Oh, I'm so bad!"
Xuanma secretly blamed himself, but his actions were swift and decisive.
He wants to modify the Lightning Release: Instantaneous Body Technique again.
If we're talking about the pinnacle of Lightning Release in the ninja world right now, it's undoubtedly the Third Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
Previously, Xuanma also wanted to go in this direction, and they simply copied it.
But with the current setting of 12 o'clock, isn't there more room for imagination?
For example, elementalization!
Or rather, the physical body is charged!
Similar to the water transformation technique of the Hozuki clan.
However, intuitively, it seems that converting lightning into an element is far more difficult than converting it into water.
From the perspective of human anatomy, this becomes even more apparent.
Therefore, Xuanma is unsure whether the 12-point setting is sufficient.
If that were possible, how fast would it be?
Lightning in nature can easily reach speeds of 10 m/s, which is far less than the speed of light, but still extremely terrifying compared to the speed of sound.
Leaving aside whether the physical movement speed can reach this level in this state, the human nerve reaction speed can generally reach 200m/s. For someone with extraordinary talent like Minato Namikaze, it might be 10 times or even more.
Even at 10 m/s, that's at least 500 times that of an average person.
That's so appealing.
So, give it a try!
Modified: Lightning Release: Body Flicker → Lightning Transformation: Body Flicker!
However, it failed.
Xuanma frowned slightly, but he wasn't particularly surprised.
"It seems we need to master the Lightning Release Chakra Mode first, and then modify it into Lightning Transformation next time."
Xuanma immediately settled for second best.
Lightning Release: Body Flicker → Lightning Release: Chakra Mode (Peak Fourth Raikage Level)
The modification was successfully completed.
Looking at the settings again, they were all gone in an instant.
Xuanma couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly.
Previously, he spent 3 points to modify his Lightning Release: Instantaneous Release and calculated that his Lightning Release level was 3 points lower than his teacher, Hatake Sakumo. Then, based on his teacher Hatake Sakumo's level, he pushed it up further, and the difference between him and the Raikage was probably only 3 points at most.
I didn't expect it to be 9 points. You know, even the One-Tailed Fox's chakra level is only set at 8 points.
In retrospect, it is clear that the Fourth Raikage at his peak was underestimated.
However, there is still a considerable gap between the teacher, Sakumo Hatake, and a powerful Kage like the Fourth Raikage.
However, considering that the Fourth Raikage at his peak could fight the Eight-Tails to a draw, it's not so hard to accept.
Genma has not yet truly witnessed the strength of a powerful figure like the Fourth Raikage.
With the settings suddenly cleared, Xuanma felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.
It seems that my sense of security has decreased rather than increased.
"With food in hand, one has nothing to fear!"
Genma stood up, refined his chakra, and performed a lightning nature transformation.
In an instant, his body was enveloped in dense lightning chakra, and his body surface was crackling with electricity.
Genma continuously intensified the transformation of his Lightning Release nature, the chakra on his body became increasingly concentrated, the degree of activation of all his cells rapidly increased, and his physical qualities improved in all aspects.
Strength, explosiveness, reaction speed, etc.
But soon Xuanma felt that his cells could not take it anymore.
However, he had not yet pushed the nature of his lightning-based abilities to their fullest potential.
He stopped deepening the state and silently observed, "In this state, my neural reaction speed is about twice as fast as before."
"Compared to the original—it's probably 10 times greater."
This difference in reaction speed would make ordinary ninjas seem like children in his presence.
However, although it was a Lightning Release technique of the same level as the Fourth Raikage at his peak, Genma knew that he would most likely be no match for it if he faced it head-on.
The two people's bodies were not of equal strength.
The modifications only altered the technique, not the physical changes.
Therefore, he is currently unable to unleash the full power of his Lightning Release Chakra Mode due to insufficient physical strength.
"I still need to temper my body step by step with Lightning Release to gradually increase its strength."
Xuanma thought for a moment, then lowered his eyes to absorb natural energy and enter immortal mode.
In Sage Mode, physical abilities immediately surge.
Genma continued to increase the intensity of his Lightning Release nature transformation until it reached its limit, causing his hair to stand on end.
"Very good, it wasn't a waste of time."
Genma smiled; his reaction speed was about five times faster than before the settings were changed.
"Based on this calculation, I'm afraid I'll have to spend a lot of money to modify it to lightning-instantaneous movement."
Xuanma felt no headache at all; instead, he became excited.
He eagerly awaits the day he can achieve the Thunder Transformation!
"Let's go, let's cause some trouble!"
Genma withdrew all his lightning chakra and leaped into the air, transforming into a falcon to soar through the sky.
The village of Amegakure was shrouded in gloom in the early morning.
Although it wasn't raining, the villagers of Amegakure still seemed to be in a bit of a hurry.
Genma, transformed into a falcon, easily bypassed the guards of Amegakure and entered the village, reaching its core area.
After dispelling the transformation jutsu, Genma walked out of the deserted alley and swaggered out to the outside of the core building area of Amegakure.
"Who is it?"
The guard immediately shouted, his sharp gaze landing on Xuanma.
Genma introduced himself: "I am Genma, the Wind-Riding Warrior from Konoha, a disciple of the White Fang of Konoha, and I wish to see Lord Hanzo, the leader of Amegakure!"
Leaf White Fang?
The two masked rain ninjas exchanged a glance, both showing surprise.
They had certainly heard of Konoha's White Fang; even their own leader, Lord Hanzo, who stood at the pinnacle of the ninja world, had personally praised him.
This brat in front of me is actually a disciple of Konoha's White Fang, and how did he end up in Amegakure all by himself?
Are they envoys sent by Konoha?
The two men had many doubts. After discussing it in hushed tones for a few moments, one of them said, "Please wait a moment while I go and report to Lord Hanzo!"
Xuanma politely replied, "Thank you!"
The man nodded and vanished in an instant.
After a moment, cold raindrops began to fall from the sky.
It's raining!
Genma looked up and heard a voice beside him: "Genma, Lord Hanzo wants to see you!"
"Please lead the way!"
Xuanma stepped forward and followed the Rain Ninja who was leading the way into the tower.
There's a gloomy feeling here, perhaps related to the weather in the Land of Rain.
About ten minutes later, a pavilion appeared in front of us.
With just a glance, Genma saw rain ninjas surrounding and guarding the pavilion.
"They're really being cautious!"
Xuanma couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Is this the grandeur of the pinnacle of the ninja world?
The two stopped in front of the pavilion and waited for a moment before the pavilion opened. Four Rain Ninjas stepped out first, followed by Hanzo of the Salamander, who looked down at Genma from above.
"A disciple of Konoha's White Fang?"
Hanzo the Salamander sized up Genma: "You've come to see me on behalf of Konoha?"
Genma looked up at Hanzo and said, "Lord Hanzo, you can think that way. I was ordered to carry out a mission, so naturally I represent Konoha."
"Of course, I am not an envoy from Konoha."
Hanzo the Salamander narrowed his eyes slightly: "Young man, you're quite bold!"
"For the sake of Konoha's White Fang, I can give you a chance."
"State your purpose!"
Genma said, "Recently, ninjas from the Land of Rain have infiltrated the Land of Fire, intending to gather intelligence."
"I've come here to ask Lord Hanzo whether the will that drives those people's actions originates from Amegakure?"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding Rain Ninjas couldn't help but look at Genma with strange eyes.
This kid—is he out of his mind?
Or are they just naturally arrogant and domineering because they are from a great ninja village?
If you look down on Lord Hanzo, then you look down on them even more!
In an instant, the surrounding Rain Ninjas felt a surge of anger rising from the bottom of their hearts, and their gazes toward Genma turned hostile.
Hanzo was also very surprised.
Is this an interrogation of him?
However, Hanzo was cautious by nature, and even though the person in front of him was a brat, he did not show any contempt or anger. Instead, he calmly said, "What if I don't answer?"
Genma immediately said, "Of course, it is Hanzo's prerogative. However, I would argue that Hanzo harbors hostility towards Konoha. In that case, he is an enemy of both me and Konoha. Konoha and I have never been polite to our enemies and prefer to resolve things completely."
Hanzo frowned.
This brat from Konoha is actually threatening him!
Looking at the Wind-Riding Black Horse, Hanzo's eyes held a curious gaze.
Even the legendary Sannin of Konoha weren't this arrogant!
After all these years of cultivating my character and reputation, has it really fallen so low that I can be threatened and provoked by a mere Chunin brat?
Although this brat has the powerful Konoha behind him.
For a moment, Hanzo didn't know whether he should be angry or laugh.
A man following behind him couldn't help but shout angrily, "You bastard! Even your teacher, Konoha's White Fang, doesn't have the right to speak like that in front of Lord Hanzo! Immediately—"
Hanzo raised his hand to interrupt: "Black Rain!"
Kuroyu immediately bowed his head: "Yes, Lord Hanzo!"
Hanzo stared at Genma, his body radiating an astonishing killing intent: "It's been a long time since I've encountered a young man like you."
Genma seemed completely oblivious to the murderous aura, and smiled slightly: "Lord Hanzo, you flatter me. Konoha has always been a place where talented people emerge in large numbers."
"There's the White Fang of Konoha, the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, and the Yellow Flash. I'm just an ordinary Chunin."
Genma knew, of course, how outrageous his words were; it would have been more appropriate for Danzo to say such things.
But he felt that as a villain, one should act like a villain.
If a villain isn't arrogant, can he still be called a villain?
Hearing the blatant threat, Hanzo's killing intent intensified, and he became angry, though with a hint of a smile: "You actually dare to threaten me? Heh, even your Third Hokage wouldn't dare to speak like that."
"Young man, take back those words. As your senior, I can let it go."
If it weren't for Konoha's sake, he would have ordered them to be hacked to death.
Genma shook his head: "No, I'm just stating the facts."
"Actually, I already have the answer, but I still want to get the answer from Lord Hanzo, because I feel that a strong person like Lord Hanzo would not deceive a child like me who is only 10 years old."
"If Lord Hanzo provides the answer, I will reciprocate in kind, and I am confident that I will not disappoint you."
