They’re all gone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mura Maki’s face twitched, a sudden urge rising to abandon his stern teacher’s facade and punch this kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One’s still alive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Fujinaka Genma raised an eyebrow—a figure appeared at the edge of the crater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this the first time the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken has ever been used so disrespectfully?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then again, it makes sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The greatest damage of this jutsu lies at its core, where countless chakra needles sever internal meridians and even cells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the crater’s edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Junpei stared at the bodies lying in the crater, his legs trembling uncontrollably, beads of sweat the size of beans breaking out across his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of jutsu could wipe out so many at once…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Junpei could not suppress the fear consuming him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he hadn’t lagged behind just a little earlier, he’d be lying down there now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, he saw the enemy approaching from across the crater—terror seized him completely, and he turned and bolted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t chase!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mura Maki blocked Fujinaka Genma, who was about to pursue, then leapt to a corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood had already soaked into the ground, but the man was still breathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though cruel, Mura Maki still channeled chakra and unleashed a Fire Release, burying the lying Sand ninja in flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he finished, Mura Maki said to Fujinaka Genma: “This keeps your new jutsu secret.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the enemy doesn’t know your secret, they can’t devise a targeted countermeasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma nodded, understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though cruel, in ninja confrontations, intelligence is often more vital than raw power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two swiftly cleaned up the aftermath and departed immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five minutes later, they caught up with Ebisu and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teacher Mura, Genma, what was that just now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ebisu couldn’t help asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commotion had been too great to ignore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The “extractee,” who had remained silent until now, also turned to look at Fujinaka Genma and Mura Maki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mura Maki volunteered to explain for Fujinaka Genma: “We planted a large number of explosive tags and detonated them all at once, driving off the enemy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Amazing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kai praised enthusiastically, fully believing Mura Maki’s lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Fujinaka Genma suddenly had a thought—a jutsu came to mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mutual Multiplication Explosive Tags!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Precision demolition!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking it over, Fujinaka Genma silently shook his head: “No, this jutsu isn’t suited for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll stick to my current path.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Rasenshuriken still has tremendous potential.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lei Dun is also good!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they had repelled one wave of enemies, they couldn’t be sure a second would not come, so Fujinaka Genma and the others remained vigilant and kept moving until they entered the Land of Fire, where they finally stopped to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Finally, we’re safe!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ebisu peeled off his raincoat and plopped down on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma perched on a tree branch, keeping watch—he didn’t lower his guard just because they’d entered the Land of Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this was still the border.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If his guess was right, the Hidden Leaf spy they’d extracted had brought back news of the Third Kazekage’s disappearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was a major event!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it was also the spark that would ignite the Third Shinobi World War.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Sand ninja might launch war immediately after learning the secret was leaked, to divert internal village tensions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Or out of fear, they might strike first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma analyzed silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The original story offered few details about the outbreak of the Third Shinobi World War—only fragments of major battles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From what he saw now, it was likely the Sand Village would attack the Hidden Leaf first, even invade it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>War was right on the horizon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he thought this, Fujinaka Genma suddenly realized he felt no fear, no tension at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he felt…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…anticipation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The realization made him silently smile bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anticipating war?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No—he was anticipating wartime missions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the nature of the Rider-Cut mission system, the more dangerous the mission, the more Rider-Cut points he earned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And wartime missions were undoubtedly the most dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Through combat, Itachi’ve gained some improvement.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Level increased.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your equipped gear has received a slight enhancement.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system notification suddenly rang out, interrupting Fujinaka Genma’s thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately sensed an odd power strengthening the senbon clenched between his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was no longer unfamiliar to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t fought often these past few years, but he had fought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, during training with Minato or Kakashi, his gear had also improved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So far, the Raiha Chakra Blade had been enhanced three times—he didn’t know exactly how strong it was now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in battle, no weapon could withstand its cut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The senbon had now been enhanced twice, including this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Two enhancements on the senbon are about enough. Next time, I should switch gear.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma mused silently but didn’t immediately open the system to allocate attribute points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten minutes later, it was time to switch watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Fujinaka Genma open the system and assign all his points to his Constitution attribute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was getting closer to 1100.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After resting half an hour, the team moved again, pushing hard to return to Konoha before sunset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While pondering sealing jutsu, Fujinaka Genma suddenly looked up and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mission completed—the system notification came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking it over, Fujinaka Genma opened the system and spent it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five attribute points gained—added entirely to Constitution, doubling to ten points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His total attribute points instantly rose to 1077.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only one point came from natural growth; the rest were from allocated points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swallowed super-concentrated ration pills like candy to replenish his energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the next several days, Fujinaka Genma trained relentlessly with Kai, pushing his own limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coinciding with his body’s rapid growth phase, his Constitution attribute’s rise showed as a daily increase of a few tenths of a point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, five days passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Fujinaka Genma had become completely immersed in training with Akai, a rumor spread through Konoha like wildfire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>War has broken out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sand Village launched an unannounced attack, crossing the border and invading the Land of Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the news delivered by Ebisu, Fujinaka Genma wiped sweat from his brow: “It’s finally here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Itachi mean the last mission?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ebisu reacted quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma spread his hands and said, “Maybe!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But it doesn’t matter anymore. What matters is, when do we go to the battlefield?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, we won’t be sent straight to the front line, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Said Might Guy, panting with his tongue out.\u003C\u002Fp>",1154,"2026-06-21T02:29:34.312Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a34eb7bc44be935fd2e911f0d687c3811b735a4478d95f70c24486f19daf43c2","starting-off-with-horse-and-sword-in-konoha-chapter-34","starting-off-with-horse-and-sword-in-konoha-chapter-32",157,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-off-with-horse-and-sword-in-konoha-cover.jpg"]
