Slaying the Waterfall Ninja

(Please recommend and add to your favorites)

Shunren, with a speed exceeding that of Chunin, left Konoha members, including Kakashi, far behind.

"Whoosh~"

With the opening of the Mind's Eye, and after repeated practice, the range of perception has increased from the initial one or two kilometers to four kilometers!

"There are 5 target units, 900 meters away, at exactly one o'clock." Shunren carefully investigated the enemy's information and approached silently. At this distance, he could not only lock onto the target's coordinates but also determine the opponent's Chakra strength.

Five uninvited guests arrived in a small border town in the northern part of the Land of Fire. Judging from the Forehead Protector on their foreheads, they were ninjas from Takigakure.

Konoha, Stone Ninja, and Cloud Ninja are facing off in the northwest and northeast of the Land of Fire, respectively. As a result, their defenses against the northern border are somewhat inadequate, which is why small countries like Waterfall Ninja dare to invade and harass them.

Of course, the Takigakure ninja wouldn't Waterfall Ninja provoke Konoha's patrol forces. What they wanted was to enter civilian villages within the Land of Fire, rob and plunder, and make a quick buck.

"Hurry up and don't leave a single survivor. Once you've packed everything into the scroll, then fill this town!"

Earth Release: Rock Collapse!

The Waterfall Ninja first looted the entire town, killing all the villagers, and then used Earth Release to bury the whole town. This was truly a case of murder for money!

"Am I too late?" Shunren arrived at the small town that had been razed to the ground. His eyes swept across the area and he could even vaguely see the severed limbs exposed on the rubble.

Not far away, the finger seemed to twitch.

Shunren's eyes flickered, and he walked over, drew the sword from his back, and plunged it into the rubble. Blood stained the surrounding stones, and his exposed hand stopped moving.

"Thank me, I'll give you a quick death."

Shunren flicked the blood off the blade of his sword, then sheathed it on his back.

After doing all this, Shunren turned his head away.

His movements here startled Waterfall Ninja Shinobu, who was not far away, and the five of them ran over.

"Konoha Ninja?!" The Waterfall Ninja was also taken aback when he noticed the Forehead Protector that Shunren was wearing on his arm.

"Huh? Then we should run!"

"Idiot! What are you panicking about? The other person is just one person, and only a kid!"

From the initial tension, Waterfall Ninja's expression immediately changed after discovering that the target seemed easy to bully.

Shunren faced five opponents alone, his expression unchanged. His Mind's Eye had already detected the five enemies. His gaze swept over them, and he muttered to himself, "Three Chunin, two Genin? And they only just noticed me. Looks like there aren't any sensory-type ninjas in the group."

"Huh? Kid, are you blind?" Waterfall Ninja pointed to his gray-blue vest and said, "We're all Chunin Takigakure!"

Shunren was unaware of the Chunin uniform of Chunin Waterfall Ninja; his judgment was merely an assessment of strength based on the intensity of Chakra he sensed. Moreover, each ninja village had a different strength ranking system, and the level of ninjas from a small country like Waterfall Ninja was naturally lower than that of Konoha. In short, of the five people before him, only three could be considered Chunin by Konoha's standards; the other two could only be considered high-level Genin.

"Yin Release: Projection!"

With both hands gripping the black and white swords Kanshou and Bakuya, there was no need for unnecessary words. This had nothing to do with personal grudges; it was simply that Shunren's mission was to eliminate these Waterfall Ninja. Moreover, as the saying goes, those who kill will be killed in return, and Shunren would not hesitate to eliminate them.

"Damn it, it seems we've been underestimated!" Seeing that Shunren dared to take on all of them single-handedly, Waterfall Ninja and the others were enraged.

"Thud!" Shunren stomped his foot heavily, transforming into a pouncing cheetah.

He charged toward the nearest Waterfall Ninja. The opponent wasn't stupid either; seeing Shunren's aggressive demeanor, he didn't dare to be careless and immediately drew his Kunai.

With a swift turn and a diagonal slash, he unleashed the "Uchiha Style: Hunting!"

"Bite!"

With a crisp metallic clang, the Kunai in the sword-wielding Waterfall Ninja's hand, along with his arm, was forcefully sliced off by Shunren's domineering slash!

"Aaaaaah!" The Waterfall Ninja terrified, clutching his severed arm and screaming, "My hand! My hand!"

Shunren showed no mercy, thrusting the sword in his other hand straight towards the opponent's chest.

However, the remaining Waterfall Ninja from Takigakure finally reacted and angrily retaliated, unleashing "Water Release: Water Chaos Waves!"

Shunren, with his keen senses, immediately deflected the sword that was thrusting straight at his opponent, shattering the incoming water drill.

"Whoosh~" Another Waterfall Ninja used a Body Flicker Technique to arrive beside his companion, attempting to rescue him.

How could Shunren allow his opponent to escape so easily?

He severely wounded one of his opponents, but did not immediately decapitate him, intending to use him as bait to lure his companion into a trap.

Shunren quickly caught up and swung his sword to strike.

"Earth Release: Earth Style Wall!" A wall of earth rose from the ground, blocking Shunren's path. Another Waterfall Ninja came to his aid at the crucial moment.

The thick rock walls not only blocked Shunren's path but also obstructed his view. However, with his Mind's Eye, he was able to pinpoint the enemy's movement route outside the walls.

Instead of advancing, Shunren retreated, deliberately putting some distance between himself and his target. Then, holding the sword in a reversed hand position with his right hand, he threw it with all his might.

"Uchiha Style: Flying Arrow Slash!"

The blade transformed into a Shuriken, drifting to the right along a short trajectory, bypassing the wall directly in front, and catching up with the fleeing Waterfall Ninja. When it reached a point where it was parallel to the enemy's side, it immediately stopped spinning and finally thrust the blade rapidly towards the target's neck!

"Pfft!"

Even without looking Shunren could tell that, because in the image formed by the sensory network in the brain, the flying sword he threw had already precisely pierced the target's neck.

"We've already taken one."

Shunren's move greatly shocked the Waterfall Ninja members. They never expected that this seemingly easy-to-bully brat would possess such terrifying strength! Not only did he cut off one of their arms in a single exchange, but his deadly flying sword technique was definitely at least B-rank. This terrified them. When did a Genin from Konoha become capable of such terrifying swordsmanship?
