After traveling through time, I became friends with Tsunade

"Needle? Human bomb tank!"

Akimichi Choza's body swelled up in mid-air at an alarming speed, and his hair quickly extended like vines until it tightly wrapped around his entire body.

Then, like a huge ball rolling at high speed, he rolled towards the man with unparalleled momentum at lightning speed.

Just when it was about to hit the man, the man disappeared out of thin air like a phantom, and then appeared behind Nara Shikaku and the others like a ghost.

With a sneer on his face, he taunted, "Is this all you are capable of?"

"Shadow Mimicry!"

Almost at the same moment the man spoke, Nara Shikaku quickly formed seals with his hands and performed the shadow imitation technique. A black shadow instantly wrapped around the man like a rope.

"Dingzuo!"

Following Nara Shikaku's loud shout, Ding Zuo's meat bomb tank immediately changed direction and rushed towards the man again with overwhelming force.

As expected, the man was knocked away by Ding Zuo's powerful impact and fell heavily next to a big tree.

"Well done!"

The three of them were ecstatic, but the next second, a shocking scene happened. The man stood up as if nothing had happened.

Nara Shikaku looked carefully and realized that when Akimichi Choza knocked the man away, the shadow imitation technique was automatically unlocked because the man was out of the extended distance of the shadow.

There was not a single scratch on the man's body. This scene left the three men dumbfounded. They stared at the man in disbelief, their hearts filled with astonishment.

"Could it be..."

Nara Shikaku swallowed hard, and an idea that even he could hardly believe emerged in his mind.

"That's right. Any physical attack will have no effect on me."

The man seemed to see through Nara Shikaku's thoughts. He spoke expressionlessly, and his cold eyes seemed to see through Nara Shikaku and others completely.

"Ninjutsu? The Heart Turn Technique."

While the man was talking, Yamanaka Inichi seized the opportunity and quickly released the ninjutsu he was best at.

However, just at the moment of controlling the man, Yamanaka Inoichi collapsed to the ground as if hit by a heavy hammer. His face showed a ferocious expression, as if telling Nara Shikaku and the others that he was in great pain.

"Konoha's ninjas, you destroyed one of my bases. How are you going to repay me?"

The man ignored Yamanaka Inoichi. He had already recognized the identities of the three people in front of him, and then looked at them with disdain.

"Are they all your men?" Nara Shikaku couldn't help but blurt out.

"Haha, they are all my subordinates who can make money for me."

Speaking of money, a hint of greed flashed in the man's eyes, and he showed a fierce expression to Nara Shikaku and the other two.

"Fire escape? Work hard!"

The man quickly formed seals with his hands, opened his mouth, and a ball of blazing fire gushed out.

In an instant, the temperature around them rose sharply, and the blazing sea of ​​fire was like a raging wave, sweeping towards Nara Shikaku and the other two.

It's over!

At this critical moment of life and death, except for Yamanaka Inoichi who had already fainted, Nara Shikaku and Akimichi Choza closed their eyes with expressions of despair.

However, unexpectedly, when the fire was extinguished, they found themselves safe and sound. The two opened their eyes in astonishment and looked around, only to find that their companions were safe and sound.

As for those who were rescued, they were already scared out of their wits when they fought with the men, and fled in panic down the mountain.

"Teacher Yusuke!"

Nara Shikaku looked in surprise at the man in front of him who blocked the attack for them. He widened his eyes in disbelief, and a feeling of joy at surviving a disaster surged in his heart.

Isn't this the same Yusuke teacher who abandoned them and went back to the village?

But they thought wrong.

Of course, Yusuke couldn't just let them complete the task on their own, so throughout the day, he followed them quietly in mid-air, keeping a close eye on his three students' every move.

"Kakuzu?"

Then, Kakuzu showed up, and Yusuke recognized him immediately. Finally, when the three of them were about to collapse, Yusuke decisively activated the String-String Fruit and resisted the surging fire attack.

Kakuzu looked at Yusuke in surprise, his eyes narrowed slightly. Anyone who could block his attack so easily must be no ordinary person.

He stared at Yusuke's slightly familiar face, quickly took out a notebook from his arms, then quickly opened it and looked through it carefully.

"Haha, the Third Hokage's disciple, Watanabe Yusuke, has a black market bounty of 1500 million yen!"

Kakuzu's eyes suddenly burst into golden light, and he stared at Yusuke with great joy.

Yusuke couldn't help but shudder. Being stared at like that really made him feel uncomfortable.

"Teacher Yusuke, we..."

Nara Shikaku looked at Yusuke with shame on his face, he lowered his head and spoke in a low voice.

"It was my fault for misjudgment. I didn't expect that such a difficult person would appear in my first C-rank mission."

Yusuke said soothingly in a soft voice without even turning his head.

Kakuzu did not take the initiative to attack, but his hands slowly moved backwards, and unknowingly, he had buried his hands deep in the ground.

"Psychic art!"

Yusuke bit his finger and quickly summoned the monkey power and the monkey doctor.

After seeing the miserable state of Yusuke's three students, the two monkeys stared at the man in front of Yusuke warily as if they were facing a great enemy.

"Ape Doctor, please help me treat these three. Ape Power, take them back to the village first. Shikaku knows the route."

Yusuke still didn't look back, but just gave them orders calmly.

"But……"

Yuan Li was obviously a little worried. He stared at the man in front of him. He could see that this man was no simple man, and he couldn't help but worry about Yusuke.

"If they stay here, I will have to take care of them. Besides, Haiyi has suffered mental injuries and must return to the village for treatment as soon as possible."

Yusuke's voice was serious and firm, and his eyes never left Kakuzu.

"it is good."

Without waiting for Yuan Li's response, the ape doctor checked and determined that it could not heal Yamanaka Inoichi's injuries. So it pulled Yuan Li's calf and gave him a warning look.

Yuan Li had no choice but to grow bigger, then hugged the three people and the ape, his eyes full of worry for Yusuke.

"Yusuke, be careful!"

Then, he slowly left with everyone full of worry.

Kakuzu still stood straight in the same place, staring at Yusuke. It's not that he didn't think about intercepting it, but when he saw the powerful momentum bursting out of the giant ape, he vaguely felt that he might not be able to stop it with his strength alone.

So, he simply gave up on blocking him, so that when he dealt with Yusuke, no one else (ape) would come to interfere.
