Killing Ma Ying!

"Kamatari!" Ma Ying cried out in alarm, not expecting that his summoned beast would be captured while moving at such high speed.

"Crack!" The icicle shattered, and the frozen Kamatari was also crushed along with the ice shards.

"Damn it! I'm going to kill you!" No matter how excellent a ninja is, once the thing he cherishes most is destroyed, he will inevitably waver. Ma Ying was furious and charged towards Shunren alone with Kunai in his hands.

"Senior Ma Ying, don't rush forward alone!" the Sand Ninja exclaimed, their faces changing drastically. "No! We can't stay rational anymore!"

"His entire body is riddled with weaknesses." Shunren's Sharingan flashed coldly; this was exactly the result he wanted.

"Ding~" She stuck the Sode no Shirayuki into the ground with her backhand, and then quickly Hand Seals.

"Genjutsu: Bringer-of-Darkness Technique!"

Centered on Shunren, a pitch-black aura that devours all light spreads in all directions, creating a Genjutsu barrier that deprives one of sight!

Enraged, Ma Ying unwittingly stepped into the Genjutsu realm of the Shunren, losing his sight. Only then did he snap back to reality, "Oh no!"

"Uchiha Style: Flying Arrow Slash!" Shunren threw his flying sword.

"Whoosh~" With his keen hearing, Ma Ying detected a sharp sound of wind breaking through the air. Unable to determine the source of the attack, he immediately Hand Seals, "Wind Release: Wind Shield!"

A tight wind wall was formed, encircling the body from all 360 degrees.

"Ding~"

A sharp clanging sound came from his left ear, Ma Ying felt a chill run down his neck. Although he couldn't see, it was clear from his position that the enemy's attack was aimed directly at his neck!

Ma Ying closed his eyes to concentrate his chakra, and formed the "Wei" seal with his hands.

"Untie!"

Upon opening his eyes, Ma Ying found himself still surrounded by darkness, unable to see anything. His expression darkened. "Damn it! This can't be broken with ordinary Chakra disruption; it's a barrier-type Genjutsu!"

"Of course, this is a technique developed by the First Hokage. If it were so easily broken, I would be very troubled." Shunren's voice came from the darkness.

Ma Ying's ears twitched, and he immediately threw a Kunai in the direction of the sound, and then-

"Pfft~"

Blood gushed from his shoulder.

"Whoosh~" After using the Body Flicker Technique at the crucial moment, Ma Ying staggered, clutching his numb left shoulder. He felt a chill emanating from the wound, as if even the blood had frozen. He was horrified; if he hadn't used the Body Flicker Technique at the critical moment, his body would probably have been cleaved in two.

"Judging a target's location by sound? You think I didn't think of that?" Shunren had long seen through the other party's deliberate attempt to provoke him into talking, hoping to determine his location by sound. So he turned the tables and stabbed the other party.

"Good lad! I never expected Konoha to have someone like you." Seeing that Shunren looked young but was no less intelligent than a seasoned veteran, Ma Ying decisively abandoned any thoughts of playing tricks and focused on defense, placing his hopes of breaking the Genjutsu on his companion.

"Don't harbor any illusions," Shunren said coldly. "Your companions are currently fighting the Konoha Ninja and have no time to attend to you."

There are two ways to break the Bringer-of-Darkness Technique. One is to break it from the outside. The other is to Chakra the caster and dispel the Genjutsu through direct contact with their chakra. Because the caster is also within Genjutsu barrier, they must establish a spell on themselves that can shield them from the Genjutsu's effects to avoid being affected. If the caster is captured, Genjutsu spell will also affect the enemy.

This allowed the opponent to break free from the Genjutsu. While Ma Ying trapped in the Genjutsu barrier, the Sand Ninja immediately took action, preparing to break the barrier from the outside. Shunren used his Mind Transmission Technique to issue timely orders to the Konoha Ninja, thwarting the Sand Ninja's actions ahead of time.

"..." Upon hearing this, Ma Ying felt a chill in his heart and a sense of despair washed over him. However, in this life-or-death situation, he surprisingly keenly discovered a key point.

If that's the case, why don't the Shunren launch a fierce attack? Now, with Ma Ying completely blind, it's the perfect opportunity to strike him head-on.

However, in reality, Shunren cannot launch an attack rashly, because, as the second point of the Bringer-of-Darkness Technique states, if he gets too close to the opponent, the Genjutsu will be broken once the opponent touches him directly.

With a cold glint in his eyes, Shunren pondered to himself: Maintaining the Bringer-of-Darkness Technique will allow him to stay on the offensive. Melee combat increases the chance of being touched by the opponent, so he should now resort to ranged attacks.

He exhaled a deep breath towards the Sode no Shirayuki. The moisture froze into ice crystals as soon as it approached the blade. With a flick of the snow-white blade, sharp ice crystals shot towards Ma Ying.

"Huh?!" Realizing the location of the attack from the sound of something cutting through the air, Ma Ying immediately retreated.

"Hmph~" Several ice crystals hit his thigh, Ma Ying endured the pain and charged straight towards Shunren.

"It's right there!" Blue Chakra, representing the wind attribute, condensed in his palm, Ma Ying unleashed a palm strike in the approximate direction.

"Pfft~"

Shunren brushed past him, and the Sode no Shirayuki once again ripped open his waist!

"To fight the Sharingan without any vision is suicidal." Shunren, having landed a fatal blow, did not rush forward but immediately retreated, not giving his opponent even the slightest chance to touch him.

"Huff~ Huff~" Ma Ying's face was as pale as paper, and he was panting heavily. However, the air he exhaled was icy cold. It was clear that after being hit twice by Sode no Shirayuki, the extremely cold air had penetrated his body through the wounds.

A resolute glint flashed in Ma Ying's eyes, and then he formed a cross with his hands, "Thump thump~"

Suddenly, Ma Ying's figure on the field split into three!

"Shadow Clone?" Shunren was taken aback at first, then shook his head. "In this situation, it only creates more targets and wastes Chakra. It seems you're planning to rush into the Yellow Springs."

Shunren, sword in hand, pointed directly, "Next Dance - White Ripples!"

A blizzard is raging forth!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~" Upon hearing the sound, Ma Ying immediately jumped high to avoid the blizzard.

A glint flashed in Shunren's Sharingan, and he thought to himself that without his sight, his opponent indeed dared not take his wide-range attack head-on.

The target is now suspended in mid-air, with an icy path beneath; the enemy has nowhere to escape!

"Whoosh~"

Shunren's figure silently appeared behind Ma Ying, brandishing his sword.

"Konoha-Style Kenjutsu: Crescent Moon Slash!"

"Bang! Pfft!"

The three chilling blades struck their targets one by one. Two of the Shadow Clone turned into white smoke and disappeared, while the main body was pierced through the heart by Shunren!
