Th-this is...? Amid the crackling sounds within the raging wind and scattered waterfall spray, the faint pain coming from their forearms and various parts of their bodies, and the sensation of fragments shattering, everyone had the same startled thought as they watched the oval object explode, leaving behind that tiny scarlet point.
A person? Or some kind of attack? Almost simultaneously, a tense thought flashed through the minds of the three Jonin instructors.
With such a huge commotion, if it was an enemy, then whoever had come was certainly no easy opponent. Their disciples were behind them now. If it were only the three of them, there naturally would not be much of a problem. No matter how strong their opponent was, they had ways to deal with them; at the very least, they stood a good chance of retreating unscathed.
But with these disciples behind them, regardless of their strength, how well they worked with them, or whether they could form an effective coordinated attack or defensive chain, they would ultimately have to divide their attention. Because of that unavoidable distraction and concern, they would be at a disadvantage from the very beginning.
After all, if the thing before them was an enemy, it was absolutely no ordinary enemy.
At the very least, seeing such a spectacle, they had no idea what they were up against.
As thoughts of doubt and concern arose in their hearts, the fierce wind produced by the exploding oval object gradually died down as the fragments and heat mixed within it dissipated.
At the same time, the location of that tiny scarlet glow slowly revealed itself before them.
"What!"
As the scene ahead clearly unfolded before their eyes, all the new Genin trainees nearly bulged their eyes out and cried out in incomparable shock.
