Chapter 46: Accepting Your Proposal
Chapter 46: Accepting Your Proposal
Kakashi indifferently glanced at Daijiro Funato and the others.
This time, they had taken on a B-rank mission, with Kakashi, an elite jonin, leading three special jonin and six genin. The intelligence they received suggested that the escorts they were up against were just two ninjas from Konoha—a jonin and a genin.
With overwhelming combat power and superior intelligence, there was no need for an ambush. They simply had to wait on the route mentioned in the intelligence report for their targets to walk into their trap.
"...”
Kakashi drew a kunai and began to approach Daijiro.
Aside from the two Konoha ninjas, the rest were ordinary people, so there was no need to pay them any mind. However, as the mission required capturing someone alive, Kakashi decided to take care of it personally to avoid any accidents.
However...
Just as he took a few steps forward, about to flash over and annihilate Daijiro and the others, his gaze suddenly froze.
He abruptly turned his head to the right.
There,
For some unknown reason, the three ninjas who had just attacked Feng Ye were rigidly frozen around him, their hands still holding their kunai, as if they had been petrified.
And in Feng Ye's hand appeared a white dagger, its blade glowing with a pale light.
"It seems you didn't hear me," Feng Ye said calmly, addressing Daijiro. "You've concealed crucial information, and the situation has exceeded the scope of the original mission. Now, we demand an increase in the mission fee and its rank, or this mission will be considered null and void."
Plop! Plop! Plop!!
As Feng Ye's words landed, the three Iwa ninjas who had been frozen beside him fell like logs, one after another.
Upon closer inspection, a startlingly clear blood line could be seen, starting from their eyebrows and extending all the way up to their hairlines!
"..."
The pupil of the Iwa jonin, Hogaki, contracted sharply.
Dead!
All three were dead, and in just an instant!
How could this be?!
Among the three who had attacked Feng Ye were two genin and an elite jonin. Even he would find it difficult to take out all three in the blink of an eye!
Just as Hogaki's expression changed, there were more crashing sounds from another direction.
Turning to look, they saw Might Guy, clad in a green bodysuit, enveloped in a green aura, with surging chakra rippling around him.
The three ninjas who had attacked him were sent flying backward, mouths spurting blood. One of them even had cracking sounds coming from within, indicating numerous broken bones.
"Th-This..."
Daijiro was stunned.
The three ninjas who had attacked Feng Ye had perished in an instant, and the three who had gone after Might Guy were also defeated in the blink of an eye, suffering a crushing defeat. This situation far exceeded their expectations, leaving Daijiro's mind momentarily blank.
It was only when he felt the piercing gaze of Feng Ye that he snapped back to his senses. After a moment of astonishment, he finally reacted, his eyes revealing a hint of delight.
Strong!
Extremely strong!!
These two Konoha ninjas, who were initially thought to be mediocre, turned out to be astonishingly powerful!
Once he realized this, Daijiro didn't hesitate anymore. His voice was tense as he immediately agreed to Feng Ye's demands, saying, "A-Alright! We agree to amend the mission requirements! Upgrade the mission registration to A-rank, and we'll pay a fee of five hundred thousand ryo! Protect all of us!"
“…Received,”
Feng Ye slowly withdrew his gaze, sheathing the White Fanged Sword across his body. His eyes, cold and indifferent, turned to the Iwa jonin, Hogaki, as he said, “I accept your proposal to modify the commission.
Originally, he had thought there were only two ninjas from Konoha, so he hadn't deemed it necessary to be too cautious. He hadn't even bothered with a proper ambush and had chosen to directly engage them after being discovered.
Now, he realized his serious mistake.
With three ninjas dead and three others severely injured, the failure of his strategy would undoubtedly fall on him as the leading jonin. He would surely face punishment upon returning to the village. To make amends for his mistake, he had to eliminate the two Konoha genin before him and successfully complete the mission!
Clap!
In the next moment, Flame brought his palms together in a quick hand seal.
"Earth Style: Mud Bullet!"
Rumble! Rumble!!
In an instant, the ground shook as if in an earthquake, and more than ten mud bullets shot up from underground, targeting Feng Ye and Might Dai.
"Dai, protect them."
Feng Ye, wielding the White Fanged Katana, nimbly dodged the mud bullets, maneuvering through the gaps in their attack and charging towards the Iwa jonin, Flame. Simultaneously, he called out to Might Dai.
Bathed in green chakra, Might Dai's hair stood on end, and his veins bulged as he exuded an aura of dominance. "Leave it to me!"
Swish! Swish!!
In the next moment, Might Dai's figure flickered, and he appeared beside Daijiro, grabbing him and the client and tossing them across the river to safety, away from the path of the mud bullets.
As Feng Ye rushed towards him, Flame's eyes glinted with a cold light.
This brat doesn't know when to back down. Even with extraordinary strength, he's still just a kid.
In his opinion, Feng Ye was the primary target. Might Dai, on the other hand, was clearly a taijutsu expert, and he didn't want to deal with his taijutsu while also defending against Feng Ye's 'genjutsu'. Feng Ye's frontal assault was playing right into his hands.
Without hesitation, Flame changed his hand seals and shouted, "Earth Style: Muddy River Flow!"
As he performed the hand seals, he spat out a river of mud that rushed towards Feng Ye, aiming to completely immobilize him.
At that moment, Feng Ye was in mid-air, having dodged the mud bullets. With no apparent means of escape, he was about to fall into the muddy river. Yet, he remained calm and composed, forming a single-handed seal with his left hand.
Shadow Clone Technique!
Poof!
A shadow clone instantly appeared below him, hands outstretched to catch and boost him upward, propelling him out of the mud flow, where he dissipated into smoke.
Using the shadow clone as a relay, Feng Ye's figure transformed into a fleeting shadow, arcing through the air and landing in front of Flame. With a swift stroke of the White Fanged Katana, he sliced downwards.
Swish!
Flame's body was instantly cleaved in two, but instead of blood, his body turned into brown soil that scattered in the air.
It was a rock clone!
"I'm an Iwa jonin, you brat!"
Flame's voice came from behind Feng Ye as he emerged from the ground, his sleeves retracting to reveal two sleeve blades that glinted with a chilling light, slicing towards Feng Ye's spine!
