Naruto: As a genin, I just want to live a normal life.

Page 278

Takumi still had some chakra left, so he used Wind Release to stop Okada En's explosive senbon in mid-air, and then detonated it together with the B-rank explosive tag.

"This is the end."

Okada En fell from above, and the earthen wall gradually lost its sturdiness and uprightness as it continued to erode.

No one could have imagined that this battle between the assassin and the wind-style ninja would end with the assassin using his own assassination techniques to his advantage.

"A terrifying scheme." Hanzo had thought that their actions of standing in front of the cliff were already quite ruthless, all to give Okada En a show of force and help him hide two Class C explosive tags.

Unexpectedly, the opponent was even more formidable.

There was also that explosive tag. He thought it was at most a C-rank, and that Okada En would be able to detect it given his strength.

Even if it hadn't been discovered, at most one would have only suffered minor injuries, but unexpectedly...

It's important to know that the blast radius of a single Class B detonator is equivalent to that of five Class C detonators combined.

In terms of power, Rank B uses Fire Release nature transformation chakra, and its power in terms of temperature, burning, and splashing is higher and stronger than Rank C, making it incomparable to ordinary Rank C Fire Release.

Furthermore, as a powerful figure, Hanzo had no face to offer a reminder. Even if the others present saw it, they did not offer any reminders about this crucial technique under the watchful eye of the 'omnipotent'.

......

"not bad."

"That makes it two wins and one loss."

Shirahoshi made her assessment, confirming that Okada Homura was seriously injured and on the verge of death.

"Now, you can each take your own people up to receive treatment."

“Okay!” Yahiko quickly replied, and he and Nagato jumped down together to help Takumi, who was floating on the water and unable to move.

Meanwhile, Hanzo, a member of the Rain Village ninja, waved his hand, signaling several members to come out and take Okada Homura away from below, saying, "What a disgrace."

"He has completely disgraced the village."

"What face does someone like that have to live?"

The Jonin standing at the front began to voice their dissatisfaction.

Behind him, countless junior and middle-ranking Amegakure ninja wore expressions of disbelief.

That's a Jonin who risked his life for Amegakure! Why would you say that about him?!

The Okada clan's higher-ups also looked extremely displeased, but it was indeed a member of their family who had orchestrated this defeat...

The head of the Okada clan looked at Okada En and waved his hand:

"Send it to the logistics camp."

The Amegakure ninjas who carried Okada Homura on a stretcher responded in unison, "Yes!"

At the front, Hanzo, having heard everything, had a somber look in his eyes, lost in thought.

The three battles are enough to show that Shirahoshi did not use any tricks; all the opposing ninjas were of normal Jonin level strength.

When he heard that his Jonin were also becoming driven by self-interest in order to suppress members of the Okada clan and gain his trust, he was stunned.

Did I really do something wrong?

......

Clean up the battlefield.

The penultimate match has officially begun.

Bai Xing casually waved her hand:

[Nagato vs. Gen Seiyu]

Seeing this match, Hanzo now believed that even if Shirahoshi, as the referee, had rigged the game, it was merely to make him and Yahiko participate in the final battle.

"It seems that a duel with Hanzo is exactly what I wanted." Yahiko clenched his fist, full of confidence.

Nagato patted Yahiko on the shoulder. At this moment, Yahiko finally pulled back his bangs, revealing his eyes from a shallow glimpse to a full view of his mosquito-coil eyes.

"Leave it to me, Yahiko."

"You don't need to play a fourth game."

“No! Nagato.” Yahiko shook his head: “I must kill Hanzo with my own hands, otherwise Konan’s grudge… will make me regret it for the rest of my life.”

“It’s that purple-haired girl, isn’t it? But…” Yu Long said, standing beside her, “Nagato Yahiko, you must win. For the Land of Rain, and for…”

Let Uncle Hanzo's beliefs be reborn!

"Alright!" Nagato responded, then jumped down the tree trunk from above, step by step, until he reached the arena stage.

At this moment, Yuan Xingyu had been waiting for a long time. After removing his mask, his eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his face was extremely fierce.

"Kid, whatever your reasons are."

"Whoever killed the spirit, I will surely make you die here!"

Nagato's eyes were resolute. He didn't grip his weapon and said with a smile, "Me too."

The boy was smiling, but his tone and eyes were filled with the same danger.

"So."

Above, Shirahoshi raised a signal flare:

"let's start!"

boom!

Yuan Xingyu took a step back to create distance, stood on the riverbed, and formed a hand seal:

"Water Release: Water Body Technique!"

Huff! Huff! Huff! Huff! Huff!

Including Yuan Xingyu himself, there are a total of five clones.

Five clones infiltrated the riverbed, while he himself stood on the riverbed and noticed that Nagato made no move.

His eye twitched: "What an arrogant brat."

After he finished speaking to himself, he took a deep breath and his hands flew into hand seals again.

Sasori, who was into ninjutsu research, immediately recognized it: "It's Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique."

"Starting with high-level ninjutsu? No wonder he's a Jonin," Yahiko remarked.

"If only we could master this technique too." Kaito Tensuke and the Great Buddha sighed in unison, exchanging a glance before letting out a helpless sigh.

......

"Ahhh-"

At this moment, Yuan Xingyu's shouts caused the river surface to ripple noticeably, and small fountain-like jets of water began to emerge from the water ahead...

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

"Die! You arrogant brat!!"

The moment the water dragon finished, it instantly dragged the water flow from its lower body, and the dragon's head and body lunged towards Nagato.

Facing the oncoming water dragon attack, Nagato stood still, raised his calm Rinnegan, and said in a composed tone:

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

In that instant, the air seemed to freeze; the water dragon was less than two meters away from Nagato's side...

Snap, snap, boom—

An incredible repulsive force pushed the arena floor outwards from Nagato!

The enormous water dragon seemed to have crashed into an invisible barrier, and Nagato effortlessly neutralized what should have been a high-level B-rank water jutsu.

The vast amount of water transformed into endless tiny droplets and waves, falling from the sky.

The water flowed across the ground, and the water dragon attack completely disappeared.

At this moment, no matter how incredulous Genji was after using his ninjutsu, he still couldn't figure out what Nagato had done...

Hanzo, standing above and staring into Nagato's eyes, exclaimed in shock, "It's the Rinnegan?! The eyes that are teleporting!"

At this moment, Hanzo felt even more guilty. He had clearly sent out elite ninjas from Amegakure, holding nothing back. The other side could have easily cheated, and even the Mangekyou Sharingan-wielding man on the other side and the Sand Village puppeteer could have intervened...

But they didn't.

But he gave it his all.

Nagato, the holder of the Rinnegan, is clearly the leader behind the organization.

But now, he's his own subordinate's rival...

All-powerful minister, is this the reason you were able to make the ancient Loulan Kingdom so prosperous?!

At this moment, Hanzo, captivated by Shirahoshi's charm, begins to reflect on his past actions...

at the same time,

Nagato begins his next move.

He squatted down and patted the ground with both hands:

"Psychic art!"

Four birds commonly seen in the Land of Rain appeared in mid-air. Their eyes were all Rinnegan, and their bodies were adorned with black chakra rods clearly composed of Yin-Yang Release techniques...

Its purpose is to help Nagato gain unobstructed vision.

"Now."

"Use whatever other means you have."

"My fighting style is very fast."

Nagato's tone was more confident than before, but it lacked the arrogance that came with his pure corruption caused by a lack of understanding.

"Heh. You think you can deal with me just by summoning a few birds with strange eyes like yours?" Yuan Xingyu said. "Kid, my assassination skills are no worse than those guys!"

The sound fell to the ground.

With two soft splashes, water emerged from the floorboards on either side of Nagato, and two young men resembling Genji appeared, wielding ninja swords and slashing at him!
