Chapter 133 The Storm is Brewing, the Genma Squad's Confidence
The Land of Whirlpools, the country where the former Whirlpool Village is located, is situated on the southern border of the Land of Fire, adjacent to the small island nations of the Land of Waves and the Land of Bears, and faces the Land of Water, one of the Five Great Nations, across the sea.
Therefore, this place was once one of the buffer zones between Konoha and Kirigakure...
That night, not far from the moonlit coastline, three figures hid silently in the branches of a lush tree, waiting.
"Hey bro, are we just going to wait like this? What if Kakashi-sensei can't find us?" Jiro scratched his head, looking at the undulating waves in the distance, with a puzzled expression.
Although they arrived in the Land of Whirlpools smoothly, is it really okay for them to just find any place to wait?
"Idiot, with Pakkun there, how could Kakashi-sensei not find us? Guess why the Hokage didn't specify a location? He just said the coastline near the Land of Water was fine?" Ishikawa pouted helplessly, making Jiro smile sheepishly and suddenly realize.
He actually forgot about Kakashi-sensei's summoning ninja dog, Pakkun. What a pointless worry!
"Well, since we're free right now, could you tell me how we train our chakra nature transformation?" Taro asked with a smile, trying to help Jiro out of his predicament.
Instantly, Jiro, who was standing next to him, changed his breathing and immediately turned his head to look intently at Ishikawa.
"Training in the transformation of water and fire chakra natures..." Ishikawa murmured, then nodded to indicate that he understood.
Although the original storyline did not explain the changes in the properties of the three elements of water, fire, and earth, Ishikawa dared to say that he had made preparations for helping the two train.
"As you know, I am of the Earth and Lightning attributes, so I cannot demonstrate the changes in the properties of Water and Fire. I can only tell you what I know."
"First, there's Taro's fire style. What you need to do is use chakra to generate high temperatures to melt the iron kunai. Once you can do that, you've achieved fire style nature transformation training. In the future, whether you're using fire-style ninjutsu or infusing chakra into ninja tools, it will be a great boost to power!"
"As for Taro? Your water-style training course focuses on compressing water molecules to increase their density. Water is formless, but as long as you use chakra to increase its density, both your defense and attacks will be much more effective!"
"Well, to put it simply, it's about using the same amount of chakra to create water that is as thick and solid as bricks."
"Melting?" "Compression?"
Upon hearing Ishikawa's cryptic explanation, Tarojiro was dumbfounded and somewhat bewildered.
Is that all? What about the specific cultivation process?
"Ahem, if you still don't understand, wait until you see Kakashi-sensei and ask him. That's pretty much how he taught me the Lightning Nature Transformation." Ishikawa coughed and chuckled awkwardly as his two underlings stared at him with questioning eyes.
These two seem to have really poor talent! He claims his teaching is way better than Naruto's teaching Konohamaru, so why do they both look completely clueless?
Meanwhile, under the cover of night, four figures sped across the sea...
"Huh? What's this??" Suddenly, a young man wearing a dark blue headscarf paused, his expression serious.
"Is there something going on?" asked another young man standing next to him cautiously, his lips barely touching the ground.
Meanwhile, the young man with short brown hair and a scar on his left cheek on the other side also stared intently, and the young man with silver hair covering his face in front of the three also stopped and looked around warily.
“Ever since we left Kirigakure, a small team has been watching us. I initially thought it was just routine surveillance by Kirigakure, so I didn’t care! But just now, suddenly another four-person team’s chakra was detected. Moreover, according to sensory feedback, that team was composed of Jonin.” As he said this, the young man wearing a headscarf and a Konoha Chunin vest looked extremely grim.
"A Jonin squad? Does Kirigakure intend to break the verbal agreement we just reached?!" Instantly, the young man with a scar on his left cheek, wearing Jonin chainmail, gritted his teeth with a dark expression.
"Even alliances between nations formed through contracts are unreliable, so verbal agreements are even more fragile," the young man, who was also wearing Konoha Jonin armor and was chewing on a senbon stick, scoffed disdainfully.
Then, turning his gaze to the leader, he asked, "Captain Kakashi, what do we do next? Should we continue to go to the Land of Whirlpools to make contact and obtain the authorization letter that the Hokage is preparing to sign with Kirigakure?"
The three were naturally the Genma Squad that accompanied Kakashi to Kirigakure: Special Jonin Genma Shiranui and Raido Namiashi, and Elite Chunin Iwashi Tsubasa.
Meeting the questioning gazes of Genma and the other two, Kakashi pondered for a second before making a decision.
"Let's split up and stick to our agreement before Kirigakure breaks off relations! The three of you go and distract them while testing Kirigakure's attitude. I'll go to Uzushiogakure to make contact and get the authorization letter."
"If the Hidden Mist is only strengthening surveillance to prevent accidents, then I will still come back to sign the previous contract terms after I get the authorization letter. After all, this cooperation opportunity was won with the Thunder Blade, and we can't give it up easily."
"However! Once Kirigakure makes their move, don't linger in battle. Fly away and regroup immediately. I'll use this to wait for you to return to the team. If you can't escape in time, immediately send an emergency signal and I'll come to your aid." Kakashi took out a specially made trident-shaped kunai and solemnly gave the order to the three.
"The Flying Thunder God Technique?" Upon seeing the specially made kunai in Kakashi's hand, Genma and the other two immediately understood and nodded in acknowledgment.
The three of them together can unleash the Flying Thunder God Technique, which the Fourth Hokage used to dominate the ninja world. If they want to leave, no one can stop them.
This is also the source of the Third Hokage's confidence in having them form a four-person team with Kakashi to negotiate with Kirigakure.
"That's it, disperse!" With a soft hum, Kakashi gave the order, his figure flashed, arcs of electricity transformed into lightning, and he vanished in an instant.
"Hiss! That guy's strength has increased again." Xuanjian gasped upon seeing this, thinking to himself that the other party truly deserved to be the most talented among their peers!
The three exchanged a glance and, under Ivashi's guidance, immediately turned and charged toward the Mist Village team that had been watching them.
The moment the three moved, the expression on the Kirigakure side, who also possessed senses, changed drastically!
"What's going on? Why did the Konoha ninja suddenly split up? And there are four, no, five unfamiliar chakra reactions appearing." After sensing it repeatedly, the Kirigakure Jonin with a blue mark on his face and a red Buddhist rosary around his neck adjusted his red glasses with surprise and uncertainty.
"Captain Chunokichi, could it be that Konoha isn't sincere at all and is just testing the village by setting up an ambush beforehand? After all, the Lightning Blade is still in their hands and hasn't been returned." Another Chunin asked hesitantly, causing the expressions of his two other Chunin companions to change.
Just as the Kirigakure Jonin named Chukichi was about to speak, his gaze suddenly turned cold, and his tone became icy, "Prepare for battle, three guys from Konoha are charging in..."
