Just like this, after continuously completing several D-rank mission records, one day, Satoru Hyūga and the others were called by Shibi Aburame to a training ground.

After briefly going over the mission requirements, Shibi Aburame said in a solemn voice.

"Have you all understood the requirements of this mission?"

"I understand." Anko raised her hand hesitantly. "But Teacher Shibi, isn't it too difficult for us to carry out a B-rank mission on our first outing?"

The scouts of Konoha discovered traces of Iwa ninjas' activities on the border of the Grass Country. It seemed that they were searching for supplies, and their mission was to prevent the other side from taking the supplies back.

This kind of mission involving battles between ninjas of two countries is at least B-rank.

"The highest strength of the enemy is only chunin. If I were alone, I could complete it in an instant. This is a training opportunity for you."

"That's really straightforward." Anko's mouth twitched slightly.

Satoru Hyūga's eyes flickered slightly. Traces of Iwa ninjas' activities were discovered on the border. This was a precursor to the approaching Third Shinobi World War. It seemed that the tragic Third Shinobi World War in his memory was not far away.

With the makeup of their team, the strategic significance of his Byakugan, and Shibi Aburame's Omnipotence, the mission they were going to carry out was definitely not simple.

Uchiha Rin didn't think too much about it and was just highly eager to give it a try.

"Then it's settled. I'll give you half an hour to prepare supplies and gather here in half an hour."

After several days on the road, Satoru Hyūga and the others finally arrived at the location marked in the intelligence. Standing on a tree branch and looking out, they could see a lush green field.

"According to the latest intelligence, that group of Iwa ninjas will transport a batch of supplies passing by here. Our mission is to prevent them from taking the supplies back."

Satoru Hyūga hid in the bushes and silently observed the changes around him.

Searching for supplies at this time was a sign of undoubtedly preparing for war. Cutting off the Iwa ninjas' supply preparations might delay the arrival of the Third Shinobi World War. What he lacked the most now was time.

His Byakugan had been activated to the extreme. After more than a year of tempering, the range of his Byakugan had significantly increased to three kilometers.

Not long after, a disguised caravan appeared in the field of vision. From the view of the Byakugan, it could be clearly seen that there was quite a bit of chakra flowing in their bodies.

"Here they come!" Satoru Hyūga whispered. "Three o'clock direction, three kilometers away. There are five of them, four chunin and one genin."

"Five ninjas?" Anko subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"With Teacher Shibi here, we shouldn't have to worry too much."

She looked back and felt a chill and immediately got goosebumps.

Huh? Where is Teacher Shibi?

He was clearly here just now. Where did he go?

Only to see that the bushes where they were hiding were empty. Except for the three of them, there was no one else.

"Forget it. Don't look for Teacher Shibi anymore. He should have hidden elsewhere to watch the battle. We have to rely on ourselves for this battle for now."

Satoru Hyūga took a deep breath, tried to calm his emotions, and looked at the two of them.

"They should pass by here in three minutes. Let's come up with a battle plan in advance. First..."

Anko and the other person listened silently.

The convoy with Iwa walking in the front of the queue looked like an ordinary merchant caravan. If one looked closely, beneath their dusty cloth clothes, one could vaguely see ninja equipment such as Shuriken and Kunai.

This time's supplies handover was quite successful. As long as they transported the supplies back, they would surely receive a reward from the Tsuchikage-sama.

Iwa thought happily. Their team had set off from the Land of Craftsmen, passed through the Grass Country, and now they were getting closer and closer to the Land of Earth.

When they passed by a grove of trees, something unexpected suddenly happened!

A Kunai suddenly shot out from the grove of trees, straight at him.

An attack?

Did they think an attack of this level could hurt him? Coldness filled Iwa's eyes.

He held a Kunai and blocked it in the path of the attack. However, just as the Kunai was about to be blocked by Iwa, its trajectory suddenly changed. It drew an arc in a strange posture and firmly nailed itself to his throat...

His pupils suddenly constricted. Iwa opened his mouth wide, his face full of disbelief. He wanted to say something, but his mouth was full of overflowing blood-red foam.

"Captain Iwa!"

"Damn it!"

"Enemy attack!"

After seeing their captain fall in such a tragic state, the Iwa ninjas quickly calmed down after a brief period of panic. They tore off the windbreakers used for disguise, revealing their full set of standard ninja equipment.

Since they had already been ambushed, it meant their identities had been exposed a long time ago. Continuing to maintain the disguise would only add inconvenience to the battle.

Just as they tore off their disguises, three figures suddenly burst out from the grass, holding Kunai and charging towards the Iwa ninjas.

"Byakugan? Just three brats actually managed to take down Iwa?"

The tall Iwa ninja gritted his teeth tightly. He looked at the position of the carriage and shouted, "Haito, you guard the supplies well. Leave these three brats to us."

"Yes!" The thin chunin shouted.

Seeing that one of the remaining Iwa ninjas did not rush over but chose to guard the supplies, Satoru Hyūga was overjoyed. In this case, their lineup was exactly three against three, and the pressure suddenly decreased.

"Rin and I will deal with those two chunin. Anko, you stop that genin."

"Got it!"

The tall Iwa ninja who was fighting against Satoru Hyūga had knotted muscles. In terms of body size, Satoru Hyūga only reached his waist.

Satoru Hyūga threw several Shuriken one after another. While they were in flight, the trajectories of the Shuriken suddenly changed, but they were blocked by the other party with a Kunai, only causing some minor cuts.

"Kid, is this the ability you used to kill Captain Iwa?"

Looking at the bloodied wounds on his body where the Shuriken had cut through, the tall Iwa ninja gritted his teeth tightly.

"Controlling Shuriken, what a strange ability. No wonder Captain Iwa fell for it! But it's useless now."

Satoru Hyūga's expression remained unchanged. He used Electromagnetic Force to change the trajectory of the Shuriken. Although the ability was strange, its greatest effect was a surprise attack. If the other party was on guard, the effect would be very low.

Exposing this ability in exchange for the life of the strongest opponent is a profitable deal no matter how you look at it!

On the other side, Uchiha Rin looked solemn. She held two Kunai and blocked the ninja sword slashing towards her at high speed.

" Sword - using ninjas? Such a nuisance."

Doing a backflip to dodge the ninja sword slashing at her waist, Uchiha Rin spat disdainfully.

It has to be said that sword - using ninjas are quite restraining to her type. The Kunai is too short, so she can't gain an advantage in close combat, and if she uses ninjutsu, she will be quickly closed in on. For a while, the battle reached a stalemate.

The battle on Anko's side was also quite thrilling. The Genin she was fighting had far more combat experience than her and had her firmly pinned down.

Satoru Hyūga withdrew his gaze and thought to himself, 'I can't delay any longer. I must end this battle as soon as possible and go to support them.'

The tall Iwa ninja fighting him seemed to see through his thoughts and laughed, 'As long as I'm here, there's no way you can go to support them successfully.'

"We've dragged this out for long enough. It's time to end it."

"Secret technique! Rock Armor Technique!"

Suddenly, that Iwa ninja formed hand seals with both hands. Dense rocks covered his whole body like armor. His already tall figure actually grew a few more inches. He looked like a rock giant.

The giant opened his mouth and let out a rumbling sound like the wind blowing through the valley.

"Byakugan brat, you're a ninja of the Hyūga clan, right? I didn't choose close combat before because of your Gentle Fist. In this state, the Gentle Fist can't break through my defense at all."

He took a step towards Satoru Hyūga, with his rock fist the size of a casserole aimed right at his head.

"Who told you I'm using the Gentle Fist?"

Satoru Hyūga raised an eyebrow, crouched slightly, and quickly slapped his palm on the ninja's side of the waist.

Along with a dull thud, the intense pain made that Iwa ninja's pupils constrict. He looked down and saw that where Satoru Hyūga's palm had landed, the entire side of his abdomen...
