Kill, Acquired

"Let's go, get out of the fog now!" Another Jonin, more experienced, said, "Perhaps the enemy has a way to see through the dense fog or powerful localized perception. Not knowing our intelligence is a huge disadvantage for us."

"Heh, good idea, but I won't allow it!" A cold snort came from the mist.

"Watch out, he's charging straight at us!"

As the Mist Ninja saw a figure becoming clearer, their attention was drawn to it, and they didn't notice the slight movement on the ground, "Boom..."

As Shuichi's Shadow Clone leaped over, his main body, who had stealthily arrived beforehand, crashed into the ground, unleashing a massive burst of chakra among the Kirigakure Village members. "Lightning Release: Chidori Stream!"

"Splat..."

"Ugh..." The powerful Lightning Release caused numbness in his body. His Shadow Clone rushed into the crowd and swung his Kunai. A large amount of blood stained the ground red. However, those who were hit were all Chunin slightly weaker strength. No one wielding Thunder Swords was seen.

Lightning Release: Lightning Strike!

The twin blades of the Raiga Kurosuki gleamed with dazzling light, and his own chakra guided a few strands of electricity from the mist to strike the arrogant enemy with incredible speed.

"BOOM!" The Shadow Clone failed to dodge the extremely close-range attack. Seeing this, Shuichi body continued to maintain his Lightning Release Chakra to neutralize the opponent's Lightning Release, while simultaneously unleashing several streaks of silver light with his backhand, "Lightning Release: Chidori Senbon!"

Raiga Kurosuki raised his Thunder Swords, Lightning Release: Senbon Needles struck the blade as if it were directly absorbed, causing no effect whatsoever. "Sizzle..."

"Wow, this sword can actually absorb lightning like that!" Shuichi's expression became completely excited. "Great! Tenbara is my lucky day! It's going to be mine soon!"

As soon as Raiga Kurosuki recognized the Konoha resident, he heard their arrogant words. Enraged, he unleashed his chakra, brandishing his Thunder Swords, and shouted, "Die, brat! Lightning Release: Raiga!"

Two intersecting Shuichi of lightning swept across, blocking all of his evasive routes. At the same time, the Thunder Swords was stuck in the ground, and the continuous Lightning Release would not give him a chance to breathe.

Shuichi had already anticipated his opponent's movements, did not dodge in advance. He was somewhat curious whether this powerful Lightning Release had been enhanced by Thunder Swords. If it was accomplished by his own abilities, then this Raiga Kurosuki was not a weakling.

"Rasengan!"

A rapidly spinning chakra ball appeared in his hand, even blowing the surrounding white mist to the sides. The Rasengan, infused with a small amount of Wind Release chakra, was blue with a hint of white, and it slammed directly into the center of the two bolts of lightning.

"Boom!"

Raiga Kurosuki's Lightning Release clashed with Wind Release: Rasengan, but dissipated at a visible speed. To his disbelief, Shuichi rushed to his side.

"How is this possible! Thunder Burial - Feast of Thunder... Ah..."

Before the next Ninjutsu attack could be launched, the Rasengan was pressed directly against his chest, the powerful force seemingly about to explode, even though it only contained a small amount of Wind Release chakra, it still blew everything around it away.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." The huge shockwave flattened the land in front of them, as if it had been bombarded by cannons.

A ravine tens of meters long appeared, and the surrounding trees seemed to have been blown down. It was unclear whether the Raiga Kurosuki, lying in the distance, was still alive.

Another member of the Mist Jonin the wind pressure and was unable to attack Shuichi in time. Now, his eyes were wide open under his mask, as if he could not accept the defeat of his elites.

"You're Konoha's genius, Takeda Shuichi!" he said through gritted teeth. "You're a monster! How can someone so young possess such strength..."

"Oh? So I'm that famous already? Even Kirigakure knows about me." Shuichi teased, gripping the hilt of his sword and drawing his Thunder Swords.

"Clang, clang..." There were two sharp, clattering sounds. He didn't know why the Raiga Kurosuki was making that movement. Could it be a characteristic of the Thunder Swords? "Let's try it out and see."

Controlling the Lightning Release Chakra within his body to continuously flow into the blade, Shuichi discovered that this chakra wouldn't dissipate immediately. "Impressive. So it can be charged up before being released, like an energy cannon. No wonder the power of Lightning Release is enhanced."

Turning to the remaining Mist Jonin, he wore a playful smile. "I'll test my power on you first."

With a sudden swing of his hands, two bolts of lightning, far more powerful than those used by Raiga, swiftly struck the opponent, leaving no escape from their attack range.

"Ugh..."

Unable to dodge in time, the Hidden Mist Ninja screamed in pain. When the lightning disappeared, he was seen covered in black smoke, his legs trembling uncontrollably, before finally collapsing helplessly to the ground.

"As expected, this Raiga Kurosuki should be considered a mid-level Lightning Release Jonin!" Shuichi's chakra strength is much higher than his, and the power of the two using the same weapon is completely different.

He approached, holding the Thunder Swords in his right hand, the tip aimed at the Kirigakure's head, and a straight, slender beam of light shot out, "Chidori Sharp Spear!"

"Pfft!" The enemy, whose neck had been pierced, stopped trembling. Shuichi already regarded the Thunder Swords as his treasure and didn't want to get it stained with blood and then have to wash it; that would be too low-class.

"Wow, excellent conductivity, it's definitely worth a fortune!"

After dealing with the man, he turned and walked towards the location of Raiga Kurosuki.

Upon closer inspection, they discovered that the man was still alive, with a bloody mess in the center of his upper body, clearly having suffered a fatal attack.

Seeing that he was still trying to get up, Shuichi transferred his Wind Release chakra to his Thunder Swords without saying a word, and with a wave of his hand, a Wind Blade directly chopped off his head.

"I don't want to hear anything more from you, you big talker. The episodes you appeared in were so boring, you completely slowed down the plot. I get annoyed just hearing the word 'funeral.'"

After experiencing the effects of Wind Release, Shuichi found it to be very smooth, but unlike Lightning Release Chakra, it couldn't be stored for a short time. "It seems to be made of a mixture of Chakra Metal and special Lightning Stone, but it seems a bit useless to me."

Because this sword requires time to charge up to increase the power of Lightning Release, it is more suitable for stationary output, while he himself is better at instant burst damage and high-speed movement, so this unique function is essentially useless.

After playing with the Thunder Swords for a while, Shuichi took out a Scroll, first Fuinjutsu on the blade, and then carefully put it away on his person.

Based on the original storyline, the Summoning Scroll shouldn't be able to summon the Ninja Blade back, but he didn't want to encounter any unexpected situations, so he used a prepared technique to seal off the space.

"Done!"

Not much time had passed since he pursued and defeated his opponent. The fog in the forest, weakened by Ninjutsu, could no longer be maintained, so the field of vision was currently very open.

Shuichi didn't rush back. Instead, he first buried several Mist Anbu on the spot, then took Raiga Kurosuki's body to the beach, tied it with stones, and sank it into the deep sea.

"Raiga Kurosuki defected with the Thunder Swords. I couldn't catch him, so this is what I reported back to the village!" Shuichi thought to himself, "In the original story, Konoha must have obtained the Ninja Blade, but perhaps it was returned when the peace treaty was signed later."

"But it's impossible to spit out the flesh that's already inside me. Compared to these fine swords, the achievement of killing a few Jonin is insignificant."
