Naruto Bloodline Theory? Garbage, That's All — Chapter 41

His muscular right arm rose, fist clenched, then came smashing down.

Splat!

The female ninja from Iwagakure fell from the sky.

Her backward flight turned into a downward plunge.

A transparent shockwave appeared between her and Mingren.

At the instant she hit the ground,

her split-open skull had already been driven into her chest cavity.

Boom!!

The ground burst apart, sending dust flying.

Two punches.

That was all it took to turn her into a pile of mangled flesh.

[Strength... 10.5!]

Update Notice

First of all, thank you all for your support.

Updates will be a little slower before the premium release.

Shuke novels generally go premium at 120,000 words.

This one is currently at 90,000 words...

About 30,000 more words to go before it goes premium.

·

Today is the 8th. Counting on my fingers, there are probably less than nine days left.

Once it goes premium,

there will be 20,000 words daily, so readers will have plenty to read...

Thirty-Nine: Brutal Kill

"!"

Only then did Ryu and the other two hear a tremendous crash.

None of the three paid it much attention.

In this pitch-black chaos, with several sides locked in battle, ninjutsu and Explosive Tags were flashing and exploding everywhere.

One more blast meant nothing.

But to Asuka, it meant witnessing Mingren's strength once again.

"That kind of brute force..."

Asuka could not help but steady herself.

Ninjas who specialized in strength were not particularly rare in the Ninja World.

But those capable of accomplishing this through their bodies alone were absolutely few and far between.

"His strength is almost on par with Grandfather's..."

Hanzo of the Salamander was a ninja at the height of his power.

He was called a Demigod.

Aside from his mastery of poison and Water Style ninjutsu,

his taijutsu, Nintaijutsu, swordsmanship... all of it was exceptional.

Hanzo had once defeated numerous Iaido masters from the Land of Iron in close combat.

Even samurai who had honed Bushido since childhood were no match for him in taijutsu.

It was clearly impossible to achieve that without an extraordinarily powerful physical constitution.

That was why

Asuka was so shocked.

To turn a Stone Ninja into mangled flesh with two punches—across the entire Ninja World, that level of strength was enough to rank among the best.

"His strength seems even greater than the last time I saw him..."

She turned back to look at the collapsed house.

The civilians who had died after being caught up in the ninjas' battle were likely the reason for Amakawa Mingren's anger.

Everyone was absorbed in the clash between ninjas.

Not a single thought was given to whether the civilians lived or died.

In Asuka's sight,

the anger of Amakawa Mingren, who had killed the female ninja from Iwagakure, did not dissipate.

He was silent for only a second.

Then he grabbed the already-deformed corpse from the ground.

Next, he lifted it and assumed a throwing stance.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Inside the unfinished building,

a group of ninjas was constantly running.

As they ran, they unleashed all kinds of Ninja Tools and ninjutsu.

Sparks occasionally flared in the darkness.

"You can't escape!"

Two Stone Ninjas shouted, but before they could finish speaking,

they suddenly heard the sound of wind beside their ears.

Amid the howling gale,

there came a deafening bang.

A bloody, mangled corpse smashed through the window and slammed directly into the wall of the corridor.

The entire body became embedded in it. The tremendous impact twisted it out of shape, leaving it completely unrecognizable.

Only the standard Iwagakure ninja uniform on its body revealed her identity.

"!"

Both sides looked out the window at once.

Another gust of wind swept through.

A figure had already leaped in from outside.

With overwhelming strength and extreme speed, he was like a cannonball.

The Akatsuki Organization members tried to say something,

but Mingren simply grabbed them and casually threw them down.

One after another, like dumplings being tossed into a pot.

"Ahhh~~~!"

Panicked cries rang endlessly through the rain.

Thud!

Thud!

The muddy ground outside was suddenly littered with human shapes.

Some twitched, while others struggled. They had clearly taken a serious fall.

The two Stone Ninjas were slightly stunned, unable to understand what had happened.

"If I ever see your battles affecting ordinary people again, I'll kill every last one of you!!"

After giving the Akatsuki Organization members a small lesson,

Mingren turned his gaze toward the two Stone Ninjas.

"You're courting death!"

Though they did not fully understand what had happened,

that did not stop them from making what they believed was the correct judgment.

One Stone Ninja raised a massive rock fist and slammed it viciously toward Mingren.

The other formed hand seals, preparing to unleash an Earth Style ninjutsu.

Seeing that Mingren neither dodged nor evaded, and even raised his fist to counterattack,

the corner of his mouth curled into a cold smile.

With this punch, even a steel plate would be smashed to pieces!

However,

it was not until his fist collided with Mingren's

that he realized just how terribly wrong he had been.

The Rock Fist Technique, the signature technique of Iwagakure that he was so proud of,

was not worth mentioning before Mingren.

The stone-covered arm was like plastic in Mingren's grasp.

The astonishing force shattered the rock fist directly.

It sent him flying backward, crashing through two walls before finally stopping.

By then, his entire body had split apart, becoming a bloody mass of mangled flesh.

"Shadow Clone Technique!!"

The last Stone Ninja finished forming his seals. As smoke rose,

he created three clones.

The three clones looked exactly alike, with no difference from the original.

Several figures attacked from different angles, each thrusting out a Kunai.

The practiced Shadow Clone movements had been honed countless times.

Attacking simultaneously from three directions made full use of their numerical advantage.

An ordinary ninja would naturally have to retreat.

But for Mingren, it only took three simple punches.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With three strikes, his arms nearly became afterimages.

In an instant,

the three Shadow Clones were blown apart by Mingren, reverting into three clouds of white smoke.

The Shadow Clone Technique was B-rank.

Multi Shadow Clone was A-rank.
