He hadn't forgotten that although the Sand ninjas of the Land of Wind were considered the weakest among the five great nations in terms of ninja strength, they were the best in the ninja world when it came to the use of "poison."
In present-day Konoha, Tsunade had not yet grown up, and medical ninjas were few and far between. The outstanding ones were only at the level of Koharu Utatane.
If these senbon were coated with poison, even a small scratch could be dangerous. Li Anshi wasn't sure if the chakra he used as inner energy could detoxify the poison.
Of course, if it wasn't a rapidly fatal poison, Li Anshi was confident in his ability to force the poison out of his body.
But that obviously required time.
In battle, intense movement would only cause the poison in the body to spread faster.
Fortunately, after mastering the Little Li Flying Dagger, throwing weapons like senbon, kunai, and shuriken were all too childish for Li Anshi.
The flying knife in his palm slipped between his thumb and forefinger, drawing white arcs in front of Li Anshi, instantly knocking away the dozen or so senbon.
At this time, the Sand ninja who had rushed out of the forest had already closed in on Li Anshi.
Li Anshi's eyes narrowed slightly.
If someone were standing in front of Li Anshi, they could see that Li Anshi's pupils emitted a faint white light.
This was a phenomenon that occurred when Li Anshi channeled his chakra into his eyes.
At this moment, in Li Anshi's vision, the Sand ninja who had rushed towards him had ten chakra threads connected to him.
Clearly, the Sand ninja who had rushed out was not a real ninja, but a puppet controlled by a Sand ninja!
Following the blue chakra threads, Li Anshi instantly discovered the ninja hidden behind this puppet.
Whoosh!
A slight sound of breaking wind was heard, and this puppet instantly stopped in front of Li Anshi in an attacking posture.
A few seconds later, it fell to the ground with a "thud."
"Li!"
At this time, Yoshikawa and Kitamura discovered that ninjas had already come to attack.
However, judging from the situation, it seemed that Li Anshi had instantly defeated them.
"I'm fine."
"Yoshikawa, Kitamura, you two be careful. I'm going to check on Captain Hatake's situation."
After warning Yoshikawa and Kitamura, Li Anshi tapped his feet, and his figure instantly darted out, rushing into the forest.
Sakumo Hatake was very strong!
Even though Sakumo Hatake was only fourteen years old now, Li Anshi didn't think that fourteen-year-old Sakumo Hatake would be inferior to twelve-year-old Kakashi Hatake.
Kakashi Hatake could possess the strength to become a Jonin at the age of twelve. It was impossible for fourteen-year-old Sakumo Hatake to not reach this level.
Li Anshi didn't find it strange that Sakumo Hatake was still a Chunin.
The Jonin of a village were already part of the leadership.
Even in the Five Great Ninja Villages, the number of registered Jonin in the village was only around fifty.
This wasn't to say that only these people in the village possessed Jonin-level strength, but rather that there were only so many management positions in the village.
Unless the Jonin occupying these positions died or resigned, or the village needed to establish a new special force, each additional Jonin would dilute the power of the other Jonin.
When the other Jonin didn't want to give up the power in their hands, the title of Jonin was like a carrot in a hole, there were simply no extra Jonin positions.
In many ninja clans, there were many clan members with Jonin-level strength, but because the family's position in the village could only have one or two Jonin positions, those clan members simply didn't register as ninjas of the village, but instead served as the family's foundation, only working for the family.
Once an accident occurred to the Jonin in the clan, these people with Jonin-level strength would immediately take their place to prevent the family's power from falling into the hands of others.
And once a clan's Jonin died, and there was no new Jonin to supplement, then, unfortunately, this family was considered to have declined, and would eventually fade out of the village's power center.
Therefore, even if Sakumo Hatake currently possessed Jonin-level strength, it was impossible for him to be promoted.
However, since ancient times, war had given rise to many heroes. Many civilian ninjas seized opportunities in war, displayed their talents, and eventually became Jonin.
Sakumo Hatake was like this.
The future Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was also like this.
Li Anshi considered himself to be very familiar with Sakumo Hatake.
Based on Sakumo Hatake's personality, if he could completely eliminate the attacking Sand ninjas, he wouldn't have missed this one puppeteer.
There could only be one reason for this situation.
Among the ninjas who came to attack from the Sand Village this time, there was a Jonin!
At the very least, it was a Chunin with Jonin-level strength, like Sakumo Hatake.
Only in this way could they entangle Sakumo Hatake and cause him to miss one of the opposing ninjas.
Swish...
After entering the forest, Li Anshi instantly jumped onto a tree branch. After a few leaps, the corpse of a Sand ninja came into Li Anshi's view.
In the throat of this Sand ninja, a flying knife with a circular handle was inserted.
Clearly, this Sand ninja was the ninja who had previously controlled the puppet to attack Li Anshi.
However, this Sand ninja was very unlucky. The puppet he controlled had only shot out a dozen or so senbon before his position was exposed by the chakra threads...
In front of Li Anshi, an enemy who exposed their position was no different from seeking death!
When passing by this Sand ninja, Li Anshi's figure paused for a moment, and then he continued forward without hesitation.
In the current ninja world, intelligence accounted for a large part of the battles between ninjas.
If a ninja's intelligence was completely understood by others, they would be targeted.
Even the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, was no exception to this.
"The fastest shinobi in the ninja world" was the title Tobirama Senju received after creating the "Flying Thunder God Technique," a space-time ninjutsu.
As long as Tobirama Senju didn't want to die, no one in the entire ninja world could keep him.
Why was the Cloud Village ultimately able to kill Tobirama Senju?
Wasn't it because they obtained information about Tobirama Senju, saw through his weaknesses, and forced him to give up using the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape, staying behind alone to block the Cloud ninjas' pursuit of his disciples?
Li Anshi also considered whether to pull out the flying knife and conceal his own intelligence.
But, in the end, Li Anshi gave up.
The Little Li Flying Dagger was never a "hidden weapon"!
It was a kind of spirit, and even more so, a kind of deterrence!
Now that he had already embarked on the path of a ninja, let the "Little Li Flying Dagger" bring some small surprises to the people of the ninja world!
So what if everyone knew about it?
In Gu Long's world, who didn't know about the Little Li Flying Dagger?
But who had ever broken the myth that the Little Li Flying Dagger never missed?
