Naruto: People are in Konoha, the system arrived 20 years earlier Chapter 129

After taking care of Chiyo, Hayato turned his attention to Jinpachi, who was fighting Shunsuke.

Jinpachi looked at Hayato, his eyes filled with solemnity. He hadn’t expected Chiyo to be dealt with so easily.

Hayato didn’t wait for him to react. His figure flickered, appearing beside him, attacking from both sides with Shunsuke.

Jinpachi frowned, retreating sharply to create distance between himself and the two.

Hayato stood beside Shunsuke and whispered, “Leave this guy to me. You go over there.”

As he spoke, Hayato jutted his chin, gesturing towards the other Mist Anbu Jonin.

Shunsuke looked over and saw that another teammate was indeed in a tough fight. “Are you sure you’ll be alright here?”

Hayato smiled slightly. “Don’t worry.”

Shunsuke nodded and then left, going to support his other teammate.

Jinpachi watched Hayato give up the two-on-one advantage, a smile appearing on his lips. “It seems you’re very confident, kid.”

Hayato held Elucidator in front of him. “Do all of you guys like to talk so much trash?”

As soon as his voice fell, he stomped his foot, and his entire body charged forward, closing the distance to Jinpachi in an instant.

Holding his sword in his right hand, he unleashed a horizontal slash towards Jinpachi.

Jinpachi immediately raised his Shibuki to block, and the two exchanged blows for more than a dozen moves.

After pulling back and standing still, a hint of unease appeared in Jinpachi’s heart. Was this person really just a kid?

He hadn’t even seen the methods he used against Chiyo.

Because he had witnessed Hayato’s ninjutsu of turning mist into ice chains, he hadn’t used the Hiding in Mist Jutsu.

His ninja blade, combined with Hiding in Mist Jutsu, was originally a very good combination.

“Close combat isn’t working, so I’ll use long-range attacks,” Jinpachi murmured, then held Shibuki horizontally in front of him.

He then threw an explosive scroll from Shibuki towards Hayato, forming hand seals with both hands.

“Explosion Release: Explosive Release: Heavily Burdened Death!”

The explosive scrolls first formed a circle around Hayato, then detonated directly via the explosive tags on the blade.

Boom, boom, boom! The sound of explosions was incessant.

Hearing the commotion, Shunsuke was slightly stunned and looked in Hayato’s direction.

“Damn it, I forgot to tell him about that information.”

But it was only for an instant before he stopped worrying about Hayato’s safety.

With Flying Thunder God, what was there to fear?

Things indeed turned out as he expected. The moment Hayato saw the explosive scrolls appear, he had already used Flying Thunder God to leave.

Jinpachi looked at the center of the explosion, calmly stroking his small beard.

“It’s over!”

Suddenly, a cold glint appeared in his eyes.

“Who are you saying is over?”

Hayato’s voice slowly spread.

“What!” Jinpachi looked at the sword rapidly approaching his eyes, his face filled with disbelief.

He frantically fell backward, and this fall allowed him to narrowly dodge the incredibly dangerous killing blow.

However, Hayato’s Elucidator still cut off a few strands of his small, dirty braids.

Jinpachi instantly transformed into someone with a full, unkempt beard.

“Damn you.” He looked in Hayato’s direction, clutching his beloved beard.

Seeing this, the corner of Hayato’s mouth couldn’t help but curve into an arc.

“You really care about your image, don’t you?”

As his voice fell, his entire body charged towards Jinpachi again, launching an attack.

In a flash, he appeared before Jinpachi once more.

“Eight Extremities: Twenty-Four Forms!”

Fists rained down on Jinpachi like a violent storm.

The latter grunted, then his body continuously retreated backward. He slid for quite a distance before stopping.

Hayato, of course, wouldn’t let the opponent off so easily. He quickly formed hand seals with both hands.

“Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!”

A massive fireball spewed forth from Hayato’s mouth.

It quickly arrived in front of Jinpachi.

The fiery red, scorching fireball continuously expanded in his pupils.

But soon, he reacted.

He quickly formed hand seals, using the Water Clone Jutsu to escape.

He reappeared nearly a hundred meters away from Hayato.

A knowing smile was on his face.

“It seems your weakness is long-range attacks. That makes things easier.”

He tossed Shibuki high into the air, and explosive tags continuously appeared in his hand.

“Watch me wear you down from a distance.”

His idea was simple: create distance from Hayato and kite him.

Explosive tags continuously fell, detonating around Hayato.

Jinpachi no longer considered whether it would affect his teammates’ performance; now, the main goal was indiscriminate attack.

Hayato’s figure flickered everywhere, dodging the explosive attacks of the tags.

He saw through Jinpachi’s thoughts, a smile playing on his lips. “Do you think I have no long-range attack methods, huh?”

With that thought, he channeled the Storm Release chakra in his body.

Holding Elucidator in his left hand, he formed a single hand seal with his right.

“Storm Release: Great Storm Light Fang!”

Hayato held his right hand in a gun-like shape, firing countless laser beams towards Jinpachi.

Rapid long-range attack methods, as if he was the only one who didn’t have them.

“What!” Jinpachi’s face was filled with shock.

Looking at the rapidly approaching lasers, his feet didn’t even have time to react before they were all hit.

Thud.

As he fell heavily wounded, his explosive attacks also ceased.

Shibuki also directly left his right hand.

Hayato quickly approached Jinpachi and took Shibuki.

He weighed it in his hand, murmuring, “The fifth one.”

Jinpachi, lying on the ground, heard this, and his face was stunned.

Did that mean he had already defeated the other three ninja sword wielders?

What kind of monster was this?

And what was with that collector’s behavior?

Was he going to collect all seven ninja swords?

No way? No way.

Hayato glanced at him, then, to Jinpachi’s astonishment, plunged Elucidator into his chest.

After dealing with Jinpachi, Hayato glanced at the battle situation over there and nodded slightly.

Shunsuke and another Konoha Jonin had already dealt with their enemies, so he didn’t need to make another move.

He instantly appeared beside the two. “Can you still continue fighting?”

The two exchanged glances, then nodded in unison.

“Then how about this? You two go back and clean up the aftermath. I’ll go support over at Higashikawa first. Once you’re done, come catch up.” Hayato suggested softly.

Shunsuke stepped forward, speaking with some concern, “Can you manage alone?”

After all, Hayato had just been through a major battle. They were teammates in the same trench, and combined with the favor of him coming to support, Shunsuke was quite concerned about Hayato’s condition.

“How about I go with you?”

Hayato waved his hand. “It’s fine, don’t worry about me. You two go back first. If any sudden situations arise again, you two can support each other.

Also, I’ll temporarily entrust my teammates to you.”

Mainly, Hayato didn’t want to slow down for Shunsuke. If he traveled alone, he could reach Higashikawa’s location very quickly.

Seeing Hayato’s insistence, Shunsuke said no more, instead silently turning and leaving with the other Konoha Jonin.

As he walked, he looked back at Hayato, paused for a moment, then slowly spoke.

“Hayato, be careful.”
