One Dragon Tail Kick will shatter your Susanoo dream!

Every morning, Kusashiba would practice a set of Tai Chi in the courtyard, a style he had learned in college. Otsutsuki Toneri, who lived with him, was surprised to find that this unknown style of boxing resonated with his own Baguazhang. He then combined it with Hyuga Gentle Fist and created a new style of boxing by integrating the three.

Out of respect for the grass shadow, at the other party's suggestion, it was also named Tai Chi Chuan!

Naruto Uzumaki stared at his fist, which was being easily gripped, his pupils dilating as he thought to himself.

"Damn it, that Sheren has gotten stronger again!"

Sasori casually recalled the Third Raikage puppet, suppressed his inner shock, turned and walked towards the mission coordinates, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"It seems that with this generation of new talents, Kusagakure is far ahead of other major powers!"

Uchiha Sasuke excitedly stepped forward and high-fived Otsutsuki Toneri in celebration.

"Toneri, congratulations on getting stronger again! Naruto, that idiot, let's see how arrogant he can be now!"

Along the way, apart from Uchiha Sasuke curiously observing the landscape and environment of the Land of Wind, the other three each had their own thoughts.

Naruto Uzumaki was pondering how to surpass Toneri Otsutsuki in terms of raw strength!

Otsutsuki Toneri, on the other hand, was thinking about how to optimize Tai Chi.

As for Sasori, he was filled with nostalgia and casually tossed a scroll to Uchiha Sasuke, who was somewhat agreeable to the team.

"Take a close look, this is the mission objective. Remember, you must survive!"

"I'm very interested in this guy. You guys better not die during the capture mission!"

After reviewing the information, everyone understood that the objective of this mission was to capture a rogue ninja from Sunagakure, a puppeteer named Hyakuzu.

Soon, the group of four quickly approached Loulan, a small country located in the Land of Wind, adjacent to Sunagakure Village, but destroyed in a war many years ago!

Soon the group arrived at the ruins of Loulan and began searching for traces of the rogue ninja. Although it was a small country, the search area was still quite large. Scorpion then took out a scroll.

After being untied, countless bee-shaped miniature puppets began their search, while he sat cross-legged on the spot, carefully sensing the information fed back by the puppets.

While inspecting a dilapidated house, Otsutsuki Toneri suddenly looked down instinctively and saw a puppet with a sharp blade pierce through the spot where he had been standing.

Seeing the puppet whose pupils had transformed into spinning drills, a style completely different from Sasori's human puppets, Otsutsuki Toneri realized that he must have encountered his mission target.

However, since it was his first mission, he decided to try to persuade them verbally.

"Stop attacking, abandon your futile resistance, and come back to Kusagakure with me to face judgment!"

A disdainful voice came from all around.

"Has the Sand Village really fallen so low? First they train a so-called Jinchuriki brat, and then they keep advocating that we should learn from the Sand Village!"

"Now even the mission to pursue rogue ninja has to be carried out by Kusagakure!"

"Indeed, my decision was right!"

"I will use the power of the Dragon Vein to unify Sunagakure and then take revenge on Kusagakure!"

However, before the opponent could make any further moves, Otsutsuki Toneri launched his Bagua Palm attack, instantly shattering the puppet in front of him into pieces the moment the centipede refused.

He then chose a direction and moved quickly forward. The moment the puppet was shattered, the explosive tags inside did not harm Otsutsuki Toneri in the slightest!

With its pointed snout, monkey-like face, and gaunt body, the centipede suddenly unleashed tremendous power, its speed constantly increasing as it ran towards the kunai that sealed the dragon vein, chanting incantations.

"They took down my puppet in a single exchange. How can these little brats from Kusagakure be so strong!"

Having just entered the site of the old palace, Centipede, who was preparing to break the seal and fight to the death, had no choice but to stop and roared angrily.

"Damn Grass Ninja, let go of your filthy hands!"

Although the iron ball that was about to break through the roof of the main hall was quite spectacular, Sasori's posture of extracting chakra and pulling out a kunai made Centipede even angrier.

At this moment, in order to enhance his defense, Sasori, who had switched to wearing Hiruko, turned his head back with some disdain.

"Sorry, I'm not a ninja from the Grasslands. I'm just following orders..."

"Second squad, it's up to you!"

In the corner, Uchiha Sasuke, who could no longer contain his killing intent, raised his hand and threw several kunai.

"How dare you slander the village! You'd better be prepared, you bastard!"

The Uchiha clan members were more or less grateful to the Hidden Grass Village for taking them in. For many years, they had lived in the Hidden Grass Village and received equal treatment that they had never experienced in Konoha. With the support of the Grass Village Chief, they were even treated with preferential treatment!

The young Uchiha Sasuke had already fallen deeply in love with this village where people could give their all. Although the Kusakage was rumored to be a widow-collecting machine and had some ambiguous relationships with Aunt Kushina and his own mother, Uchiha Sasuke didn't mind.

After all, he could feel the meticulous care that Kusakage had given him and the preferential treatment he had shown towards the Uchiha clan!

"Watch closely, you blond brat, this was originally my secret move that I planned to save for you!"

"?"

A kunai imbued with a spell flew toward the back of the centipede, and then Sasuke Uchiha, covered in blood, instantly appeared behind him, followed by the sound of punches and kicks.

"Lion combo!"

When Kusanagi was privately teaching Sasuke, he remembered Sasuke's Amenotejikara power later on, so he decided to give Sasuke the Flying Thunder God Technique a try.

Unexpectedly, there was a pleasant surprise. Although Sasuke hadn't fully mastered this ninjutsu yet, the prerequisites were still troublesome. Not only did it take longer to activate, but the target couldn't be too far away, otherwise it would be easy to hurt himself. But at least it proved that Sasuke could learn the Flying Thunder God Technique!

Sasuke was seen being sliced ​​open by spatial energy, blood dripping continuously from the hem of his clothes—a case of injuring the enemy by 800 while suffering 1000 damage himself…

In contrast, Centipede only suffered minor injuries and lay on the ground panting, while Sasuke Uchiha, due to his injuries, moved slowly, though his face was still full of anger.

"I will not allow those who slander the village to live a life of ease!"

Uchiha Sasuke gritted his teeth, pulled out a kunai and stabbed the centipede repeatedly. Suddenly, the centipede's body turned into a pile of puppet fragments and fell to the ground.

Then a puppet several meters tall emerged from the ground, from which came the agonizing cries of a centipede.

"That was quite a surprise, but that's enough for now. Let's take a look at my proudest work!"

Otsutsuki Toneri tilted his head, watching Uchiha Sasuke dodge the giant puppet's attacks. A question flashed through his mind. His upbringing in the branch family made it impossible for him to understand Sasuke's behavior.

At this moment, Naruto Uzumaki looked at Sasuke Uchiha, who was still fighting even though he was injured by using ninjutsu he hadn't mastered, and a hint of wavering flashed in his eyes, and his belief wavered once again.

"Is Konoha really as bad as everyone says? No, all of this must be a lie!"

"Give me the chance, I will go back to Konoha myself and ask Grandpa Danzo!"
