Since Shinnosuke joined, the team's morale soared.
Originally, only Tatsumi was carrying the team forward. Whenever enemies appeared, he would step up to deal with them. Now, with an additional Jonin, the pressure on him was greatly reduced.
Shinnosuke simply bandaged himself and hastily suggested to Tatsumi that they continue deeper into the battlefield.
In his words, the battlefield lacked a powerhouse like him, which would significantly weaken Konoha's overall strength.
Tatsumi was very skeptical of this statement.
From his experience leading Genin on reconnaissance missions, Shinnosuke's strength could only be considered that of an ordinary Jonin.
If his strength were truly at the level of Tsunade or Orochimaru, he would definitely be stationed at the main camp and not sent out as a babysitter.
Tatsumi could only assume that, as the Hokage's son, the pressure on Shinnosuke was simply too great.
Therefore, in such a large-scale battle involving thousands of people, one Shinnosuke couldn't affect the overall situation.
But what if there were a dozen or so Jonin charging into the battlefield? Tatsumi knew quite a few team-leading Jonin were conducting reconnaissance missions nearby.
It should be known that Konoha was currently under a surprise attack. Why did the enemy launch a surprise attack? It was precisely to force a hasty response, wasn't it?
Although there were enough ninjas defending the main camp, the Jonin who had been sent out were also a considerable force.
Once they immediately entered the battlefield, the originally balanced situation might be immediately disrupted.
Sunagakure and Iwagakure also knew this.
So they were cutting off these ninjas, not giving them the chance to charge into the battlefield individually.
If at this time, there was a force that could break through the defense and connect all these ninjas, bringing them into the battlefield, what effect would it have?
What Tatsumi wanted to do was precisely this.
In fact, at this very moment, the Sannin were also doing something similar.
The three of them were joining forces to block Hanzo from entering the battlefield. Because once Hanzo entered, the original situation would immediately be broken.
Tatsumi also knew that doing this was very difficult.
Because they didn't have the skills or ninjutsu to conceal their whereabouts. The number of Sunagakure ninjas along the way was also starting to increase. With such a large group and such a large target, it was normal to be discovered.
So fighting and killing became a common occurrence.
Tatsumi wiped the rain from his face. At this time, the wind style was like a sharp knife, striking the distant enemy. He once again eliminated a Sunagakure Jonin.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke couldn't say anything. He finally realized what it meant to be a genius.
The problem was, this Uchiha kid was not only strong, but even his chakra reserves were ridiculously large for a ten-year-old.
Shinnosuke really wanted to grab Tatsumi's windbreaker and ask him loudly, "Are you sure you're not a member of the Uzumaki clan?"
Of course, Tatsumi wasn't.
The reason he had so much chakra was that he had frantically added ninja points to his chakra attribute.
His current chakra level had already reached that of a Jonin. After all, for a man, endurance is very important.
Moreover, the scroll on his wrist also stored a lot of chakra, which was enough to support him in battle.
These were Tatsumi's confidence when entering the battlefield.
Did he think he would have no preparation and then rush into the battlefield with a hot head like Nawaki, constantly shouting "For the Horde"?
Of course, that wasn't going to happen!
Tatsumi had enough confidence that as long as he didn't get surrounded, he wouldn't die on the battlefield.
And now was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to harvest ninja points. Whether he could quickly improve his strength depended on how fast his kunai was today.
So Tatsumi was very excited now. But the atmosphere among the Sunagakure ninjas began to grow oppressive. The tragic deaths of their teammates undoubtedly ignited their anger.
Tatsumi noticed that two more huge wind blades were flying from behind. At the same time, a Sunagakure ninja released a Wind Style: Drilling Air Bullet after forming hand seals.
Although this technique was not as powerful as Shukaku's Drilling Air Bullet, it was still a pretty effective Wind Style technique.
If the coverage of the ninjutsu could be further expanded, it was not impossible for it to become an A-rank ninjutsu.
More importantly, the two Sunagakure ninjas standing not far behind him were not carrying puppets, but were constantly forming hand seals.
It seemed that they were just ordinary ninjas, so that would be easy to deal with.
The Sharingan allowed Tatsumi to predict the location of the wind style attack in advance. He seized the opportunity and jumped up directly, just avoiding the Wind Style: Drilling Air Bullet that cut through the air.
The two Sunagakure ninjas were slightly stunned, then became more vigilant toward Tatsumi.
With the continuous fighting, their information about Tatsumi was constantly deepening. Combat is a process of mutual understanding.
The extremely penetrating Chidori and the ubiquitous genjutsu were slowly being figured out by them.
After landing, Tatsumi did not hesitate. Since they were already cautious enough to join forces against him, he had to take them out quickly.
But only this kind of battle could make Tatsumi more excited.
Since coming to this battlefield, Tatsumi had realized that he had become more eager for battle than before. But this was not necessarily a bad thing.
A lightning style jutsu formed in his hand, and the flickering lightning attracted the opponent's attention. At the same time, Tatsumi rushed toward the two without hesitation.
The ninja on the left looked stronger, and it seemed that in addition to wind style, he should also be good at taijutsu.
The other Sunagakure ninja was much shorter, and although his body didn't look thin, it wasn't exactly strong either.
So when Tatsumi attacked, his target was the stronger Sunagakure ninja.
When he swung the lightning style, the flashing sparks had already drawn their attention. At the same time, Tatsumi subtly used his fingers to release a genjutsu.
By the time he arrived next to them, their consciousness had just recovered.
Without hesitation, Tatsumi slashed the stronger ninja's neck.
As blood spurted out, the kunai in Tatsumi's hand drew a smooth arc and rushed toward the other ninja's neck!
A sharp clang echoed as his kunai was intercepted by another kunai mid-flight.
Looking sideways, Tatsumi realized that three more Sunagakure ninjas had appeared.
Just like stirring up a hornet's nest—just as he killed a few, another batch emerged. Tatsumi sighed slightly.
Because of his young age and outstanding strength, the Sunagakure ninjas had completely marked him as a priority target for elimination.
"...Then come on."
Tatsumi tapped the rain-soaked ground with his toes, gazing at the four enemies before him as more Sunagakure ninjas continued to rush over from the distance!
