Naruto stepped back and said, "Sakura, this looks perfect for you to practice your punches."

"I think so too." Sakura rushed forward, swinging her fists, duang, duang, duang, punching one of the armoured soldiers.

Each fallen soldier had deep fist marks on their body, and their armour was completely distorted.

Sakura's actions made Pakkun break out in a cold sweat. "What was I even thinking before? I'm changing my shampoo when I get back."

Pakkun tugged at Kakashi's trousers and said, "Well, Kakashi, if we're done here, I'll head back first. There's soup stewing in the kitchen..."

Kakashi looked at Pakkun, who had just dispelled the summoning technique and was puzzled. "Since when could you make soup?"

Sasuke couldn't resist stepping forward to test the power of the Thunder Sword. Ever since he acquired the sword, he had been learning kenjutsu from his brother, and Kakashi had also provided guidance, even though neither of them specialized in dual blades. Still, they both had experience.

As for why Sasuke didn't learn Raiga's swordsmanship, it was because Raiga's performance after losing to Ranmaru had been unimpressive.

Even though Sasuke's Sharingan had recorded much of Raiga's movements, he always felt they were flawed demonstrations.

Sasuke slashed at an armoured soldier with the Thunder Sword, producing a metallic clang. While the Thunder Sword was sharper than a standard ninja blade, it wasn't ideal for slashing.

Only when Sasuke infused it with Lightning chakra did he manage to break through the armour's defences easily.

Watching Sakura and Sasuke charge into battle, occasionally cooperating, Naruto hesitated, unsure if he should join them.

"Forget it," he muttered, deciding to form a few Rasengans instead of slacking off like Kakashi.

Within a few minutes, dozens of armoured soldiers were reduced to scraps.

After they had defeated all the soldiers, three women in red, green, and blue knight armour emerged from the fortress.

The woman in red armour spoke first, "It's you, strange people, again. Why are you blocking our way?"

"Again?" Kakashi caught onto that and asked, "Have you seen us before?"

The woman in red armour continued, "I've seen people with the same strange power as yours, but compared to ours, your strength is laughable."

Strange power? Chakra? Had these people never encountered shinobi before?

Kakashi didn't want to start an unnecessary fight and explained, "I think there's been a misunderstanding. We're just here to find something."

These people had never seen shinobi before because they had travelled across the sea from a distant land to search for the Gelel Stone veins and had only recently arrived at the coast of the Land of Wind.

Across the mountains and seas, there were no shinobi.

However, as soon as the three women heard Kakashi's words, they assumed battle stances. "There might have been a misunderstanding before, but not anymore!"

They assumed Kakashi's group was after the Gelel Stone veins in the ruins. At this moment, Lord Haido and Temujin were searching for a way to unlock the mine, and they couldn't afford to let anyone interfere.

The three women transformed: the one in blue armour became a werewolf, the one in green armour became a bat-like creature flying into the sky, and the one in redarmourur became an ape-like figure.

"Ugh..." Naruto's face twisted in disgust. "They looked decent before, but now they're just ugly."

Naruto glanced at the flying bat-woman and said, "Sasuke, you handle the one in the sky."

"Why me?"

"Don't you have the Thunder Sword? Zap her out of the air." Besides flying, the bat-woman seemed adept at illusions, so Sasuke could handle her without much trouble.

Sasuke frowned. "The weather's not great."

Naruto stared up at the clear, sunny sky in shock. "Since when do you complain about good weather, Sasuke?"

Despite his grumbling, Sasuke charged the bat-woman with the Thunder Sword, drawing her away.

"Sakura, do you want to take one of them?" Naruto asked, noticing Sakura catching her breath.

"Let Sakura rest for a while. I'll take care of the ape," Kakashi said, stepping forward.

"Got it." Naruto launched a Water Dragon Jutsu at the enemies, aiming to separate them.

Although they didn't land a decisive blow, the jutsu split the battlefield, and the group managed to avoid major attacks by dodging the sides.

Kakashi, ever the methodical shinobi, began with the usual tactic of throwing three shurikens to gauge his opponent.

The ape-man raised his arms and conjured a flickering shield that blocked the shuriken. "This won't work on me!"

With a flick of his hand, he sent the shuriken flying back, now crackling with electricity.

Kakashi swiftly dodged. "Lightning Release? No, it's more like a basic electrical discharge."

"Lightning Tornado!" the ape-man shouted, launching two bolts of lightning that twisted together, spinning toward Kakashi.

"Earth Release: Earth Wall!"

The lightning struck the earth wall, causing the dog-head carving on it to shatter. Kakashi used this opening to create a shadow clone, which charged at the ape-man with a lightning-infused attack.

Dodging nimbly, the clone evaded the ape-man's counterattack and finally landed a Raikiri on the shield.

The ape-man gritted his teeth, focusing all his strength on holding the shield, but Kakashi's real body appeared behind him, piercing through his defences.

"Cough... How... could I..." The ape-man collapsed, reverting to his human form.

Kakashi glanced over at Sasuke and sighed. The kid's fighting style had completely changed. If he kept overusing the Thunder Sword like this, he'd become a second Raiga.

This had to stop. When they got back, Kakashi would remind him to fix his technique. For once, he remembered his duty as a teacher.

The bat-woman didn't fare much better against Sasuke's relentless lightning strikes. Eventually, she fell from the sky, trailing black smoke. Sasuke smugly sheathed the Thunder Sword.

Naruto, on the other hand, had a tougher time. His Water Waves, Water Dragon Jutsu, and Waterfall Jutsu were dodged by the agile werewolf, who constantly charged at him, occasionally spewing sound waves to disrupt Naruto's rhythm.

As the werewolf drew closer, a smug grin spread across her face. "You're a long-range attacker, aren't you? Once I get close, it's over for you!"

Just as her claws were about to reach Naruto's throat, he widened his eyes, feigned panic, and yelled:

"Don't come any closer!"

The werewolf laughed maniacally. "Die, you brat!"

But then, a Rasengan collided with her face.

"You... liar..." the werewolf muttered as she reverted to her human form, unable to rest her eyes.

"Cough, I'm more of a close-range fighter..."
