Shunren vs. Two Jonin

At that moment, Shunren was immediately enveloped in the scarlet mist emanating from the Bloodthirsty Bead, like a bloodthirsty demon from hell descending upon the mortal realm!

"Such powerful Chakra!" The Stone Ninja and others were shocked. Based on their ninja knowledge, they had no idea what kind of "ninja tool" Shunren had produced. "Could this bead be like the legendary ninja tools from the Sage of Six Paths era, such as the Cloud Ninja Bashosen, the Kohaku no Johei, the Benihisago, the Seven-Star Sword, or the Amber Purifying Pot of the Sage of Six Paths?"

Beyond their knowledge, they couldn't deduce anything, so the Stone Ninja started speculating wildly.

Despite being under the influence of the Bloodthirsty Bead, with blood seeping from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, Kurogane's eyes were fixed on Shunren with intense interest. With a clench of his hand, sharp steel spikes reappeared...

However, at this moment, Shunren's consciousness began to blur. His steps faltered, and Shunren body fell backward. The Bloodthirsty Bead seemed stuck to his palm, impossible to shake off. He could even faintly see a faint blood flowing into the bead from within Shunren body. At the same time, Shunren felt dizzy, but the pain in his internal organs seemed to lessen somewhat. He only felt a blood-red blur before his eyes, and he rubbed them vigorously with his hands.

"Huh?!" Shunren only noticed that the steel spike in Kurogane's hand was less than a centimeter away from his brow. The Bloodthirsty Bead seemed to have a spirit, automatically protecting him and gathering the scarlet mist to form a blood-red shield in front of Shunren. This shield looked as thin as a cicada's wing, but it barely blocked Kurogane's powerful Steel Release attack!

With the Bloodthirsty Bead- Devouring Bead protecting its master, Shunren's chill and nausea gradually subsided, but he was still extremely fatigued, a symptom of Chakra depletion and excessive blood loss.

"Clang!" The incredibly hard steel spikes in Kurogane's hand were shattered by an invisible, immense force.

Shunren's hand was drawn by the Bloodthirsty Bead and forced forward. Then, with a soft "plop, "Shunren instinctively looked up.

"I see... This substance can absorb human essence and blood to nourish itself."

Shunren's pupils contracted as he saw that the man's palm was pressed against the Kurogane's chest, and the Bloodthirsty Bead stuck to his palm seemed to break through the Steel Release on the man's body with unstoppable force, piercing into his chest.

Kurogane's aura began to wane, but he seemed unconcerned about the state of this body, simply saying, "You've passed, brat. With this ability, you're qualified to become my pawn."

Shunren's body trembled as he felt the Bloodthirsty Bead in his hand frantically absorbing the essence blood from Kurogane's body. At the same time, that familiar icy energy once again entered his body, but this time he did not feel the nausea of his internal organs churning. Instead, his strength and Chakra were rapidly restored!

The Bloodthirsty Bead, as its name suggests, devours the essence of human blood, thereby unleashing boundless power. Shunren, having exhausted his Chakra, was in dire straits and could only project the Bloodthirsty Bead- Devouring Bead with his last remaining strength. However, he had no Chakra left to drive it, but the blood from his body was enough to Bloodthirsty Bead.

This was an extremely dangerous gamble. If he was not careful, Shunren would have his blood Bloodthirsty Bead. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Kurogane attacked, diverting the Bloodthirsty Bead's attention and severely injuring Kurogane with a single blow. The Bloodthirsty Bead transferred the blood it had sucked from Shunren to Kurogane, Jonin with abundant blood and energy. Finally, a small amount of the Bloodthirsty Bead's overflowing power returned to Shunren's body.

"Whoosh~" Seeing that Kurogane seemed to be frozen in place and couldn't move, the other two Stone Ninja couldn't stand still either.

"Captain Kurogane?"

"This kid's suspicious, let's all attack him together!"

Both of them were Stone Ninja Jonin Shunren. Seeing that something was wrong, they reacted quickly and attacked Shun.

"Steel Release: Golden Spear Strike!"

Numerous Chakra shape changes,

Sharp steel daggers formed, hovering in the air, and then rained down on Shunren like a storm! Shunren flung away the Kurogane body, but what actually controlled his movements was the Bloodthirsty Bead in his hand. Facing the concentrated attack of two Jonin, the Bloodthirsty Bead instantly released a large amount of scarlet mist, forming a thick blood-red shield in front of him.

"Clang clang clang clang~" That steel dagger, which could easily pierce through Earth Release is a type of defensive technique) and was indestructible, could not even break through this layer of blood-red shield!

The two Stone Ninja looked solemn, and then changed their hand seals.

"Whoosh~" The steel daggers that were aimed at Shunren from the front suddenly swerved to the left and right sides.

"Gurgle~" However, the Bloodthirsty Bead seemed to have its own consciousness, immediately manipulating the crimson shield to expand to both sides, forming a 360-degree spherical shield that prevented the enemy's steel dagger from entering!

"Are you kidding me?!" He's clearly a Genin, yet he possesses the strength to Jonin? Are they dreaming or what?

The two Stone Ninja were seen changing hand seals in place while the other used Earth Release to burrow underground, appearing behind Shunren in an instant.

"Steel Release: Crushing Pincer Attack Technique!" The two of them, one in front and one behind, used a large amount of Chakra to form two huge steel plates, and then attacked Shunren together!

"Clang!" The heavy blow from both sides shattered the crimson shield. Shunren almost had his muscles broken by the huge shock, but fortunately, the Bloodthirsty Bead continuously nourished him, and he recovered from his injuries instantly.

"Even an A-rank forbidden technique couldn't do anything to him!" The two Stone Ninja were shocked. That attack was their signature move as Jonin, a full-force strike without holding back at all!

At this moment, Shunren felt that his whole body had inexhaustible power, but it was different from Chakra. As if he had thought of something, Shunren made a gesture with his palm.

"Yin Release: Projection!"

The twin swords, Kanshou and Bakuya, appeared in his hands.

A glint flashed in Shunren's eyes as he murmured, "This power can indeed replace Chakra!"

"Crack~" Just as Shunren was excited, a crack appeared in the incomparably powerful Bloodthirsty Bead, and the scarlet mist it released also dimmed.

Shunren was startled, realizing that the projection time was indeed limited. He had to take advantage of the brief period the Bloodthirsty Bead existed to defeat the two Jonin before him!

"Huh?!" Stone Ninja saw Shunren appear from behind the steel plate, one on the left and one on the right, rushing towards them.

"Shadow Clone? No... that's Genjutsu!" With their Jonin eyesight, they saw through this little trick at a glance, and then formed a hand seal.

"Untie!"

The Genjutsu faded, Shunren's true form charged towards one of them.

"Clang!" The man was also fearless. He waved his hands, and two steel blades appeared in his hands, ready to meet the attack head-on.

"Clang! Clang!" Shunren's twin swords clashed head-on with Stone Ninja's twin blades.

The Stone Ninja exclaimed in surprise, "How did this kid's power suddenly increase so much?"

Shunren frowned, thinking that even with the temporary boost to his power from the Bloodthirsty Bead, he could only barely reach the level of Jonin.

"Whoosh~" Another Stone Ninja appeared behind him with a Body Flicker Technique, wielding two heavy steel swords that slashed down!

Shunren's mind stirred, and he saw the Bloodthirsty Bead rise up and crash fiercely into the Stone Ninja behind him.
