Uchiha Sasuke does not have a very clear concept of the classification of ninja power. The education he received since childhood made him, like most people, believe that Naruto is the pinnacle of ninja. The legend of the first generation Hokage, Senju Hashirama, is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen was once called the strongest Hokage. However, old age and decay have always been the biggest feeling given to Sarutobi Hiruzen. Most of the new generation of Genin are in contact with peers or some Chunin who are not particularly strong. In the preparatory test before the Chunin exam, Sasuke was barely able to gain the upper hand when Iruka was not serious.
As for the jonin, the one they deal with the most is the team leader. However, due to the limitations of most low-level teaching tasks, very few genin have seen the full-strength battle of the jonin. During the mission in Wave Country a few months ago, Sasuke also saw for the first time what the battle between jonin was like.
The series of riots after the Chunin Exams, and even the death of the Sandaime Hokage, caused Sasuke's original perception of strength to collapse. Especially when Uzumaki Naruto used summoning to summon Gamabunta to defeat the One-Tailed Jinchuriki Gaara, and Uchiha Itachi used Susanoo to fight Jiraiya, all of these made Sasuke's understanding of the limits that a strong person can reach undergo a drastic change.
This battle once again made Sasuke feel how huge the gap in strength between ninjas was. Even in the encirclement of the enemy camp, Hatake Kakashi's effortless killing skills also amazed the onlookers. He did not use any powerful ninjutsu, and rarely used Chidori. He only relied on simple and efficient taijutsu and three body techniques and other basic abilities to make the enemy unable to cope.
The characteristics of another jonin Mizuki are a little different. Compared with Hatake Kakashi, his speed and flexibility are not bad, but the gap in combat experience and physical skills is still obvious. Although he lacks skills, he has an overwhelming advantage in strength. His reckless fighting style has an unexpected effect when surrounded by enemies. This style, combined with his unstoppable momentum, gives people a sense of excitement. In addition, with the agile Hatake Kakashi around him, he often checks for omissions and fills in the gaps, which makes the two people's advantages in the battle of fewer people against more people become greater and greater.
Sakura had no time to take care of other things while maintaining the barrier. The little girl, who was bearing such a heavy burden for the first time, had not yet reached the level of multitasking. Although the barrier was ready-made and she did not even need to provide the chakra to maintain it herself, Mizuki had prepared everything, but even maintaining a stable supply of large amounts of chakra was a huge test for a Genin.
Hinata Hyuga, who was assisting from the side, also watched very nervously the operation of Haruno Sakura and the barrier. Whenever lightning struck the barrier, or an enemy attack affected the barrier, Haruno Sakura was under great pressure, and Hinata Hyuga was not relaxed either. She would check everywhere nervously at the slightest sign of trouble, fearing that there would be some omissions that would cause problems.
The others seemed to be a little relaxed. If it was a little worrying at the beginning, as time went on, they gradually realized that the seemingly outnumbered enemy could not break through the blockade of Mizuki and Kakashi. The barrier in the rear also held up under the occasional lightning attacks, and Haruno Sakura, who made people worry, seemed to be doing a pretty good job.
"It's really easy." Just watching but not being able to do it himself made the relaxed Naruto a little eager to try, "Should we go and help?"
"Naruto..." Hyuga Hinata, who was closest to him, said a little nervously, "We should stay here and protect ourselves!"
Due to the weather, everyone might not be able to see clearly. They only know that Mizuki and Kakashi have a slight advantage. However, Hyuga Hinata, who has the Byakugan, observes the details clearly. In a battle of that level, it is better for Genin to stay away from it.
"Huh? What did you say?" Naruto was absent-minded and didn't hear clearly what Hinata said in a soft voice, so he leaned his head over and asked.
This action made Hinata blush, and she was so timid that she couldn't speak.
Uchiha Sasuke next to him walked over and pushed Naruto.
"Don't get in the way here!"
"Tsk, what are you so proud of?" Naruto said indignantly, "You said you wanted to protect Sakura, but in the end you did nothing..."
"Big idiot..." Sasuke, who didn't want to get entangled with Naruto, looked at Sakura who was concentrating and didn't seem to be disturbed. Then he said to Naruto, "You must obey orders during the mission!"
"Coward." Naruto, who was driven away, walked away unhappily, but ran into Inuzuka Kiba and Aburame Shino who were observing the battle situation in the distance.
"Hey, you two, do you want to go help? The enemy doesn't look very strong. They were easily defeated by just two of us."
Inuzuka Kiba refused bluntly: "No, Akamaru and I both hate thunderstorms."
Aburame Shino replied without even turning her head: "The enemy is at a disadvantage, not because they are weak, but because Mizuki-sensei and Kakashi-sensei are very strong. With our strength, it is difficult to do anything now. The best strategy is to wait patiently and protect ourselves together."
"Why didn't I see that..." Naruto muttered, then looked at the three Mist Ninjas who were observing the battle, and gave up the idea of dealing with these unfriendly guys.
At this moment, a huge fireball suddenly rose in the center of the battlefield, followed by a violent explosion. Soon, waves with huge energy hit the hull. Suddenly, the violent shaking made the Konoha people who were not used to riding in a boat feel embarrassed.
Fortunately, Sakura Haruno, who was used to it, was not affected too much, and the barrier still maintained.
"Fortunately, this is a warship, not an ordinary civilian ship. Otherwise, it would not be able to survive in such a harsh environment."
The ANBU captain "Sword" said to the two juniors beside him.
"Is it over?" Kanlong looked at the fire in the distance. "In this kind of weather, he can still use fire escape to defeat the enemy. It's really amazing. It seems that we don't need to help."
“Don’t be careless.”
As expected, the battle was only a brief one, and there were many more enemies than expected.
Just as everyone was nervously observing the situation, Hyuga Hinata suddenly said, "Be careful, someone is coming, very fast..."
Before he could finish, a loud explosion was heard. This time it was different from the shaking of waves. The shock wave hit directly. Even if Sasuke and Hinata tried their best to protect Sakura behind them, it was inevitable that Sakura would be disturbed.
