Naruto: People are in Konoha, the system arrived 20 years earlier Chapter 047

Within the unfathomable depths of the Forest of Death, Hayato stood like a nimble cheetah, silently perched on the branch of a towering ancient tree.

He lightly tapped the branch beneath his feet, a faint smile playing on his lips: “It’s really sturdy.”

All around, the Forest of Death exuded a heart-pounding tranquility and eeriness, as if even the sound of the wind had been swallowed by this forest, leaving only dead silence.

This stillness, like a graveyard, sent shivers down one’s spine.

Hayato’s gaze, sharp as a torch, swept over every inch of the surrounding land.

In this vast and boundless forest, finding a hidden opponent was undoubtedly like searching for a needle in a haystack.

But he knew well that wherever people moved, they would always leave traces. So, he patiently observed, trying to catch sight of his opponent from subtle clues.

“I remember five people ran in this direction at the time, how come I haven’t seen a single trace of anyone for so long?” Hayato pondered to himself.

He recalled that when he first entered the forest, he had deliberately stayed behind to record the other people’s routes.

However, at this moment, he felt as if he were in a thick fog, unable to locate his target.

Just as he was fully focused on his search, a dangerous aura quietly approached.

Fifty meters away in the dense forest, a ninja with two inverted triangular face markings—Inuzuka Kiba—and his ninja dog companion, Akamaru, were staring intently at Hayato’s position.

One person and one dog were staring intently at Hayato’s position.

“Good luck, it’s just a brat.” Inuzuka Kiba’s lips curled into a cold sneer, his eyes gleaming with greed.

He cautiously closed the distance between himself and Hayato, preparing to launch a surprise attack.

Finally, when he was within ten meters of Hayato in a dense part of the forest, he quickly formed hand signs, activating the Beast Mimicry Jutsu.

His ninja dog companion, Akamaru, instantly transformed into a human form, and together with Inuzuka Kiba, they launched a fierce attack on Hayato.

“Fang Over Fang!”

Two attacks, like tornadoes, charged towards Hayato like lightning and thunder.

However, just as the attack was about to land, Hayato, like a ghost, activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, directly dodging Inuzuka Kiba’s attack.

With a flash, Hayato appeared not far away, his eyebrow slightly raised, a faint smile hanging on his lips: “An Inuzuka clan ninja, huh? Interesting.”

The ambushed Inuzuka Kiba stabilized his stance, all four limbs on the ground, both Inuzuka Kiba clones staring intently at Hayato.

“Such a fast reaction, is it Body Flicker Technique? Or some other method?”

But he didn’t show any fear and charged directly at Hayato, wanting to launch a righteous two-on-one attack.

Inuzuka Kiba swung his claws, attacking Hayato with the speed of a furious storm.

Hayato flexibly used a kunai to block the first wave of attacks. But soon, the Inuzuka Kiba transformed from the ninja dog also joined the battle. The person and dog cooperated seamlessly, putting some pressure on Hayato.

“Quite troublesome,” Hayato mumbled to himself, but he didn’t panic. Instead, relying on his excellent reaction ability, he flexibly dodged the opponent’s attacks.

He performed a three-and-a-half backward somersault, creating distance from Inuzuka Kiba, and in mid-air, he drew three shuriken and launched them at Inuzuka Kiba.

Seeing this, Inuzuka Kiba quickly took a step back, dodging the shuriken attack.

However, Hayato didn’t stop there. He moved his hands, activating a ninjutsu.

“Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique!”

Three fire dragons, like raging waves, charged towards Inuzuka Kiba, instantly engulfing the surroundings in flames.

Amidst the surging fire dragon assault, Inuzuka Kiba, with his agile movements, skillfully dodged the erosion of the flames.

The flames exploded around him, erupting in thick smoke. He took the opportunity to say to Akamaru beside him: “Akamaru, can you find his position?”

Akamaru, who had transformed into Inuzuka Kiba, nodded.

“Alright, this smoke can provide us with cover. Next, let’s use that move.”

Inuzuka Kiba and Akamaru transformed into a brown-grey giant wolf with two heads and one body.

“Inuzuka Style: Human Beast Transformation Combo: Double-Headed Wolf!”

“Fang Wolf Fang!”

After dynamically tracking and locking onto Hayato’s position in the air, the double-headed wolf spun rapidly, forming a huge tornado that directly dispersed the black mist created by the flames, rushing towards Hayato at an incredibly fast speed.

“Good grief, they’re not even dizzy, their balance is really good,” Hayato couldn’t help but grumble when he noticed the opponent’s attack.

But he didn’t panic because of this. Instead, he activated the Flying Thunder God Technique again, directly dodging the opponent’s attack.

In terms of speed, he truly wasn’t afraid.

“Damn it, it failed again, how can this guy be so fast!” Inuzuka Kiba couldn’t help but feel disheartened. “No choice, if that’s the case, then let’s retreat.”

Knowing that he couldn’t take down the opponent and still stubbornly fighting was not a wise choice.

The double-headed wolf immediately turned around and ran away from Hayato.

“Want to run when you can’t win? It’s not that easy.” A cold smile appeared on Hayato’s face.

He flashed, giving chase.

The double-headed wolf ran in front, with Hayato hot on its heels.

“What! How can he be so fast?”

Soon, Hayato caught up to Inuzuka Kiba, blocking his path.

Inuzuka Kiba tried to negotiate with Hayato: “You don’t need to relentlessly pursue me. I can’t take you down, and you can’t do anything to me either. Why not spend your time on more appropriate matters?”

To be honest, he regretted picking a fight with Hayato. He couldn’t win, and he couldn’t escape.

“Can’t take you down? Are you perhaps mistaken?” Hayato’s lips curled into a faint smile, and with a gentle flick of his finger, a kunai shot towards Inuzuka Kiba like an arrow released from a bowstring.

Facing the swiftly approaching kunai, the double-headed wolf unhesitatingly raised its right paw, attempting to swat it away.

In this flash of lightning, Hayato’s figure strangely appeared beside the kunai, then immediately leaped into the air.

“What!” The double-headed wolf’s four eyeballs instantly widened, filled with disbelief and terror.

“Flying Thunder God: Second Step!”

“Rasengan!”

The blue-white chakra orb directly smashed onto the double-headed wolf’s back. The immense impact made the entire wolf body bend sharply downwards, as if it were carrying a mountain, almost touching the ground.

At the same time, the Rasengan affected the double-headed wolf’s chakra flow. With a bang, a puff of smoke dissipated.

The double-headed wolf had transformed back into Inuzuka Kiba and Akamaru’s original forms. They lay powerless on the ground, having fallen into a deep coma.

After landing steadily, Hayato slowly walked over to Inuzuka Kiba and Akamaru.

He began to search Inuzuka Kiba carefully, and in a short while, he found a scroll in his bag.

“Good luck, it’s the Wind Scroll.” Hayato had a smile on his face.

But in reality, for Hayato, this scroll was not his ultimate goal.

He glanced at Akamaru lying on the ground, pondered for a moment, then hoisted Akamaru onto his shoulder and vanished from the spot like a flash of lightning.

He took both food and belongings.

Inuzuka Kiba slowly awoke from his coma. He rubbed his aching head, his eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

However, when he realized Akamaru wasn’t by his side, he instantly panicked: “Akamaru!”

Meanwhile, in another dense part of the forest, Akamaru also gradually regained consciousness from its coma.

It slowly opened its heavy eyelids, groggily looking around.

When it realized that the person standing in front of it was not Inuzuka Kiba but Hayato, it instantly bared its fangs, confronting Hayato with a fierce expression.

“You’re finally awake.” Hayato smiled as he watched Akamaru wake up. Then, he closed and opened his eyes.

Swoosh!

“Sharingan!”

Akamaru’s face showed a human-like expression of astonishment.

Immediately after, its eyes also changed, transforming into the three-tomoe Sharingan pattern.

Hayato slowly stood up, a faint smile on his face, “The hunt has begun!”
