A flash of white light appeared, Sakumo vanished before everyone's eyes.

When their pupils caught that white shadow again, it was already intertwined with blood-red rain, staining everyone's eyes red.

"You bastard!"

Kill him!

The Jonin of Stone Ninja roared in fury. To slaughter Chunin and Genin right before their eyes was an insult, an absolute humiliation.

"Konoha's White Fang, you spineless bastard!!"

"You dare to challenge us? Is bullying Chunin and Genin all you've got, White Fang?"

The Jonin cursed and scattered, rushing forward to try and surround Sakumo. However, after trying, they realized that the plan was not feasible. Sakumo was too fast, and they couldn't stop him at all. Instead, they were being dragged around and watched helplessly as one corpse after another fell at their feet.

Wherever White Fang went, corpses littered the fields.

Sakumo remained unmoved by the provocations and taunts of the young Stone Ninja. As if doing the most ordinary task, he calmly watched as the Stone Ninja tried to press their bleeding throats with their hands, but to no avail. They gradually lost their life force, leaving only pairs of equally large eyes staring blankly at the sky.

In Sakumo's eyes, there are only two kinds of people in this world: his own people and his enemies.

His job was to kill, to eliminate all enemies. This was his responsibility. After years of practice, he had developed his own insights into killing. He believed that it was like an old woman picking on the softest persimmons. Compared to troublesome opponents like Jonin, it was easier and more convenient to pick on the softer ones like Genin.

While it's true that Genin are cannon fodder, this massive army of cannon fodder is also the foundation of a ninja village. Every Jonin) has risen from the ranks of cannon fodder. The Five Great Ninja Villages have been able to stand at the pinnacle of the Shinobi World precisely because of their large numbers of soldiers, which also makes it easier for them to produce one Jonin another.

Even the Sand Village, which has always pursued an 'elite force strategy,' only achieves this in comparison to the other four major ninja villages at the same level. The Sand Village still has an overwhelming advantage in both quantity and quality compared to smaller ninja villages.

The Shinobi World War is a game for the Five Great Ninja Villages; smaller ninja villages have no right to even sit at the table.

For a large ninja village, losing a thousand or eight hundred people in a major battle is just a minor injury. But for a small ninja village, it's a serious blow. Even a powerful Amegakure, which produced a figure like Hanzō, only caused trouble for a short time during the Second Shinobi World War. The fact that he ignored the Third Shinobi War is a perfect example.

The number of ninjas in small ninja villages is too small. Compared to the number of ninjas that the Five Great Ninja Villages can support, even if one or two extraordinary individuals emerge from small ninja villages, it is impossible to fundamentally reverse this inherent disadvantage.

Chunin Genin are the foundation of a ninja village.

Compared to the few Jonin, Chunin and Genin are the cornerstone of the ninja world.

Sakumo enjoys eradicating enemies from the root. This kind and compassionate elder, who is usually as benevolent as a Buddha, transforms into a vengeful demon once he steps onto the battlefield. He is incredibly ruthless when it comes to killing. In Sakumo's eyes, there is no distinction between men, women, young, or old when it comes to enemies. He is a living God of Slaughter.

In terms of strength, Sakumo might not be able to defeat those two who made their fortune through bloodlines, but when it comes to killing, even the most bloodthirsty Mist Ninja would have to lose three points to Sakumo. Compared to the Mist Ninja, who love killing, Sakumo kills people with ease, just like a painter painting, casual and natural, as if he were just doing the same kind of work.

In a way, it's even more terrifying!

Now, based on the current situation, Sakumo has made the most reasonable choice. Their side consists of Jonin, and they don't have any Genin Stone Ninja is like digging up a cornerstone.

The Earth Travel Technique!

Lightning Flash Turn!

White Lightning Strike!

The combination of these three elements constitutes Sakumo's Instant Kill Technique, a supreme killing technique.

The Earth Travel Technique allowed him to silently infiltrate the vicinity of his target. The short-distance dash speed of the Lightning Flash Turn was comparable to the speed of Space-Time Ninjutsu. Combined with the short sword wrapped in white lightning, even an enemy who had mastered the Hardening Technique would not be able to withstand this strike; it was a fatal blow.

However, Otto quickly devised a countermeasure. Since they couldn't capture Sakumo for the time being, they still had seven targets. Moreover, with fourteen Jonin, they could easily organize a two-on-one attack.

Soon, the fourteen Stone Ninja Jonin and the seven Konoha Jonin, a total of twenty-one Jonin, began their battle.

The first to suffer were the Genin and Genin of Stone Ninja. The aftershocks of the Jonin's battle were terrifying. Taijutsu and Genjutsu battles were relatively easy to manage as they didn't easily spread to the surrounding area, but Ninjutsu battles were extremely destructive. Earth Release, Fire Style, and Wind Release Technique were all intertwined on this field, ruthlessly ravaging the land beneath their feet.

The remaining Stone Ninja Genin didn't last ten seconds; they were quickly either overwhelmed by powerful Ninjutsu attacks or had their throats slit by Sakumo.

"Damn it, this feeling..."

Otto, along with another person, Jonin a Konoha from both sides. However, he was somewhat distracted at the moment, with most of his attention focused on guarding against Sakumo.

Having witnessed Sakumo's calm and collected killing, Otto began to regret his actions. He regretted not heeding Chiyo of the Sand's advice and for underestimating Konoha's White Fang. He sensed the aura of death emanating from White Fang, just like his father when he was angry. Although there were differences, the terrifying sense of oppression was extremely similar.

A Konoha Jonin forced into a perilous situation, his life hanging by a thread, as he fought against two masters of the same level. Moreover, his preferred Ninjutsu happened to be countered by the opponent's element, making his situation extremely unfortunate.

"Laugh!"

A white light flashed past his eyes, and the middle-aged Konoha Jonin a sigh of relief, finally managing to hold on.

When he regained his senses and looked around, sure enough, there were two corpses on the ground, the two men he had just fought.

"Sakumo, it's up to you now."

With a shout towards the sky, the middle-aged Jonin the two still-warm corpses on the ground and slowly retreated, leaving the battlefield to Konoha's White Fang.

The Konoha Jonin began to retreat in an orderly manner, while the Stone Ninja were shaken by the deaths of two comrades and lost their will to fight. They were all on guard against Sakumo, who could appear at any time or from any place. The plain, which was originally filled with murderous intent, suddenly became quiet.

"Underground, he's underground." One of the Stone Ninja, skilled in sensory techniques, confirmed Sakumo's presence. "Daisho, he's heading towards you..."

"I'm gone!"
