Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two puppets exploded, their parts scattering in fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Fujinaka Genma’s speed was so extreme—like a white lightning flash—it appeared as if both puppets were destroyed simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, a scream rang out as Fujinaka Genma brushed past the Sand Ninja puppeteer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No blood sprayed—instead, the Sand Ninja’s hair stood on end, his entire body convulsing from high-voltage current, his nervous system—the body’s bioelectric flow—shattered in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sand Ninja collapsed, twitching, but Fujinaka Genma did not pause, surging toward the summit with blinding speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he carried an electric field around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Fujinaka Genma no longer looked like a lightning bolt—he resembled a thick white bolt of lightning, leaving charred vegetation in his wake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s heading straight for headquarters—stop him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sand Ninja chasing behind realized Fujinaka Genma’s speed was too great—they couldn’t even catch his shadow, and could only shout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Sand Ninja blocking his path collapsed, twitching; hearing the shouts, he nearly wept: “I’m not unwilling—I’m just not on the same plane!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How can such a monster exist in this world? Even more monstrous than Shukaku!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet immediately after, another thought surfaced in his mind: “Wait… why am I still alive?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not the only Sand Ninja with this thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And more and more shared it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma’s landing zone was near the mountain’s midsection; having endured multiple Shadow Clone and Storm of Shuriken assaults, few Sand Ninja remained, and resistance was virtually nonexistent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the higher he climbed, the more Sand Ninja gathered, prepared and waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Fujinaka Genma’s eyes, none of it mattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their attacks could not even breach his defense—merely slowing his speed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a warrior on the level of Jiraiya or Orochimaru could make him pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the Sand Village had such individuals—but they were not here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandmother Chiyo counted—she was at the summit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newly appointed Fourth Kazekage counted—but he was on the Rock Ninja battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others, even seasoned Jonin, could not match his speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After breaking through several Sand Ninja squads, a large force of Sand Ninja appeared ahead of Fujinaka Genma, already ready with ninjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wind Release: Wind Net!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a roar, dozens of Sand Ninja combined their jutsu—howling winds formed razor-thin blades that wove into a net.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where it passed, vegetation was sliced apart, stones shattered into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was an enormous-scale, immensely powerful Wind Release technique—only Flying Thunder God could let Fujinaka Genma evade it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Fujinaka Genma did not use Flying Thunder God to evade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He merely paused his step slightly, then continued forward, drawing his Lightning Fang chakra blade for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma knew exactly what his mission was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To intimidate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To force the Sand Ninja to surrender and negotiate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing—driving them to terror—was one method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demonstrating unmatched power, stripping them of the will to resist—was another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma chose the latter—not out of mercy, but because it was faster than pure slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slaughter sometimes only stoked fiercer resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And total annihilation was not what he wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze extended beyond the present—to the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thousand Birds Piercing Spear!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the net of wind blades closing in, Fujinaka Genma slashed upward with his chakra blade—the extended, hyper-frequency lightning blade speared through, carving a gap in the wind net, and he surged through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sand Village excelled in Wind Release, and Wind Release did indeed counter Lightning Release.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But countermeasures were always mutual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma’s Lightning Release might not yet be at its absolute peak—but he could confidently say:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one, except the Third Raikage and the future Fourth Raikage, had ever surpassed him in Lightning Release.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even those who could match him existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in time, he was certain he would crush even the Third and Fourth Raikage beneath his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His confidence came from Level 10 chakra control and Level 10 Lightning Release chakra nature transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Broke through the wind net.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next came the Sand Village’s signature Wind Release: Kamaitachi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several Jonin combined their jutsu—the gale even tore through the outer layer of Fujinaka Genma’s electric field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it only forced him back a few steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Sand Ninja’s combined large-scale Wind Release techniques, stirring up dust and stones, only caused Fujinaka Genma minor inconvenience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma vanished from the sight of countless Sand Ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, screams erupted one after another—Sand Ninja turned left, only to see comrades toppled, screaming as they collapsed, convulsing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And a white lightning bolt tore through the center, unstoppable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma had broken through from the flank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having shattered this thick defensive line, Fujinaka Genma continued charging toward the summit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the summit, watching Fujinaka Genma break through relentlessly, every Sand Ninja wore grim, stunned expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, those who had doubted his reports no longer had a single shred of doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such power—eliminating three hundred Mist Ninja—did not seem impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s holding back?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon receiving the report from the sensory ninja, Grandmother Chiyo’s expression grew complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was no ordinary woman—she instantly understood Fujinaka Genma’s intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am here to negotiate!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have shown my strength—enough to crush all hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Itachi resist, Itachi will share the Mist Ninja’s fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was both a gesture of goodwill—and a threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grandmother Chiyo, release Shukaku! We cannot stop him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A senior Jonin spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandmother Chiyo gave no order—she hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could releasing the One-Tail even stop him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could not help but recall the last time Fujinaka Genma faced the One-Tail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Grandmother Chiyo still hesitated, Fujinaka Genma broke through every barrier, slaughtering his way to the summit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the stunned eyes of the Hidden Leaf Ninja—Jiraiya and others—he looked like a white serpent-dragon surging up the mountain, leaving rolling dust and thundering lightning in his wake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment Fujinaka Genma leapt into the air until he stood before Grandmother Chiyo and the others, less than ten meters away, less than five minutes had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Fujinaka Genma, wreathed in lightning, Grandmother Chiyo sighed with a complex expression, then retrieved the peace treaty scroll she had stored away: “We agree to negotiate!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1223,"2026-06-21T02:29:34.312Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","feca78f8a10c42e59c02c10ce94cb5c8e383cced6b2ec8054bcb37ac8952b789","starting-off-with-horse-and-sword-in-konoha-chapter-80","starting-off-with-horse-and-sword-in-konoha-chapter-78",157,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-off-with-horse-and-sword-in-konoha-cover.jpg"]
