"Smack!"

Under the horrified gazes of the Grass Ninja, Shunren transformed into a ferocious beast, his Heavy Black Iron Ruler, pressed close to the ground, leaving a long trail of sparks and deep marks along its path!

The leader of the Grass Ninja was not intimidated. After all, he was a Jonin, and it would be ridiculous if he didn't have this much mental fortitude.

The Grass Ninja Jonin's muscular physique revealed him to be a Taijutsu -type ninja, skilled in the Body Flicker Technique, making his speed and agility impeccable. In his view, Shunren's charge with his sword-dragging stance was imposing, but his speed seemed rather lacking.

Just as Shunren's figure was less than a few steps away from him, the Grass Ninja Jonin finally made a move. With a tremor of his feet, his body moved as swiftly as a rabbit, his figure flashing several times. In an instant, he brushed past Shunren was charging towards him!

In the instant the two crossed paths, the Grass Ninja Jonin flipped out a Kunai from his hand and, using the sideways rotation, aimed a straight thrust at Shunren's neck.

Shunren narrowed his eyes, thinking that this Jonin's combat experience was no joke. He immediately took a heavy step, abruptly stopping his forward momentum, and then forcefully raised the Heavy Black Iron Ruler to block.

"Ding~"

The Kunai pierced the incredibly hard ruler, sparking a shower of sparks. Logically, an ordinary Kunai should have broken by now, but the one in the opponent's hand remained sharp.

Shunren's eyes widened, his gaze fixed on the faint red Chakra swirling Kunai. "Fire Release: Nature Transformation?!" It's Chakra Blade!

"Hmph! So, don't underestimate us Grass Ninja!" The Grass Ninja Jonin, wielding his Flame Chakra Blade, thrust it several times at the Heavy Black Iron Ruler. He was astonished; ordinary weapons had long been cleaved in two by his Chakra Blade. The scorching flames of the Kunai could continuously burn the enemy's weapon, and the high temperature could soften and melt the metal. However, to his utter surprise, after several consecutive attacks, he still couldn't destroy this strange giant ruler. Moreover, its entire body was jet black, showing no signs of being heated red-hot, and it felt cool to the touch, without any burning sensation.

After deflecting the opponent's continuous attacks of the Flaming Chakra Blade, Shunren slightly raised his eyes, glancing sideways at the opponent's muscular physique. He swung his hands, the Heavy Black Iron Ruler unleashing a ferocious force as it swept horizontally behind the Grass Ninja Jonin. Despite the immense kinetic energy generated by the Heavy Black Iron Ruler's massive mass, the Grass Ninja Jonin did not flinch, his Chakra Blade slashing upwards. The pale red Chakra, symbolizing fire attribute, left a red arc in the air—a scorching strike!

"Ding~" The sharp and the blunt collided again, followed by a crisp sound.

The flaming Kunai struck the sweeping Heavy Black Iron Ruler directly. Upon contact, the immense kinetic energy contained within the Heavy Black Iron Ruler caused the pale red Chakra swirling around the Kunai to bend under the force. If this Chakra membrane were to be penetrated, the immense pressure would instantly shatter the Kunai!

However, the Chakra blades wrapped around the Kunai, though bent into such a dangerous arc by the Heavy Black Iron Ruler, were not completely broken apart.

"Hmm?!" Shunren's keen senses detected a faint sense of impending danger!

A flash of red light appeared in the eyes of the Grass Ninja Jonin, who coldly shouted, "Fire Style: Heavenly Prison Fire Sword!"

The fiery Chakra suddenly surged and erupted.

"Bang!"

The intense heat and blast released by the Chakra Blade instantly deflected the Heavy Black Iron Ruler in Shunren's hand!

Using the recoil from the explosion, the Grass Ninja Jonin rapidly, shouting at the same time, "See that? The enemy's strength isn't anything special! Attack together!"

Seeing that their leader was holding his own against the Shunren, and even seemed to have gained a slight advantage,

This ignited the fighting spirit in the previously trembling Grass Ninja. "Ahhh! Everyone, attack together and kill that brat!"

"Swish swish~"

A large number of Shuriken were thrown.

Fire Style: Ghost Lantern!

A hail-like fireball, similar to the fireball of the Phoenix Flower Fire.

Shunren immediately erected Heavy Black Iron Ruler to serve as a shield for defense.

"Ding ding ding ding~"

Whether it was Shuriken or fireballs, they were all blocked by the Heavy Black Iron Ruler.

However, just as Shunren hid behind the Heavy Black Iron Ruler, the enormous ruler also obstructed his view. The Grass Ninja Jonin seized this opportunity and immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to get closer.

Although the opponent had exploited Shunren's blind spot, Shunren still managed to detect the opponent's movements with his keen senses. He was about to grab the Heavy Black Iron Ruler to counterattack, but unfortunately, he was a beat too slow.

"Whoosh~" Flames swirled around the opponent's palm, "Grass Ninja Style: Explosive Palm!"

The powerful Taijutsu slammed heavily onto the Heavy Black Iron Ruler. Although it failed to budge the ruler in the slightest, the immense shockwave still sent it flying from Shunren's grasp.

"Bang!"

"It's over, kid!" Having knocked Shunren's weapon away with a single blow, the Grass Ninja Jonin's eyes gleamed brightly. Without another word, he slammed that powerful palm down on Shunren's head once more.

However, at that moment, Shunren's figure transformed into a streak of light and vanished instantly.

"What?!" The Grass Ninja Jonin's pupils constricted, and he instinctively drew a Kunai, turned around, and slashed!

"Ding~"

Suddenly, Shunren appeared behind the other person, wielding the black and white swords Kanshou and Bakuya in his hands.

"Hoo~" Shunren exhaled deeply. After getting rid of the Heavy Black Iron Ruler, he felt lighter than ever before. The Chakra that had been suppressed in his body rebounded wildly through his meridians.

When he was wielding the Heavy Black Iron Ruler, his speed was suppressed to that of an ordinary Chunin. That was why he had been suppressed by the Grass Ninja Jonin earlier. Now that the weight on his body has been removed, his speed has suddenly increased to a level that can Jonin.

"Such speed! How did it increase so much?!" The Grass Ninja Jonin was astonished, but he quickly regained his composure. "However, compared to me, you're still slightly inferior."

"That's not necessarily true." A cold glint appeared on Shunren's face. "Yin Release: Projection!"

The Elucidator's sword was now equipped on his person.

Strength attribute increased! Agility attribute increased!

"How is this possible?!" The Grass Ninja Jonin was shocked and was about to retreat.

"It's too late."

Shunren's figure split into three, each sword thrusting towards the opponent from a different direction.

"Konoha-Style Kenjutsu: Crescent Moon Slash!"
