Then Mingren teleported again and cleanly took down another Kirigakure examinee.
He killed at the slightest disagreement.
Silent as a cold machine.
In the blink of an eye, he had killed three people.
Everyone's eyes widened to the limit, their hearts filled with dread.
No words, no explanations—only killing.
His actions gave them an overwhelming sense of danger.
"W-We withdraw!"
Maki glanced at the two mangled Kirigakure examinees' corpses and immediately chose to withdraw.

They simply... weren't on the same level.
The gap was far too great.

Her disciple's Sealing Jutsu could also prove useful, and they could gradually dismantle Sunagakure from within and without.
Destroying the Five Great Shinobi Villages and overthrowing the old world—that was what Mingren wanted to do.

They had all seen what happened to Hozuki Mangetsu.
His silent killing style and speed that broke the sound barrier had left them utterly dumbfounded.
Against an opponent of this caliber...
Even though he was alone, no one
