Mo Chen Is a Beam of Light

Mo Chen still couldn't break out of Kusagakure in one go. Although he dealt with the group outside the hospital, he was soon blocked by others.

All other Shadow Clones had been recalled. Now, only his main body and two Shadow Clones protecting Karin's mother and daughter remained.

"Damn it, hand over the Human Pill!"

"Leave the Human Pill, seal your Chakra, and surrender on your knees, or Kusagakure will hunt you to death!"

"Do you think you can leave alive? Our leader won't let you go!"

"Let's go all out and kill this kid. Don't worry about the Human Pill; as long as you don't attack vital spots, she won't die."

Numerous Kusagakure ninjas shouted and charged forward.

Since the ones in front had failed to intercept him, they knew Mo Chen's strength was not to be underestimated. Thus, they attacked with full power from the start.

All sorts of Ninjutsu rained down, covering Karin's mother and daughter as well.

However, none of them noticed that Mo Chen, who had just killed many people, had become even more filled with killing intent.

"Calling her a Human Pill, you Kusagakure truly deserve to die!"

Mo Chen's voice was low, suppressing his rage as much as possible, but he couldn't help but roar hoarsely, "Even beasts know gratitude, but you are worse than beasts. Kusagakure has no reason to exist!"

Earth Style: Four Pillars Prison!

Four thick earthen walls, uncarved with dog heads, rose from the ground, blocking all the Ninjutsu aimed at Mo Chen and the others.

The overwhelming Ninjutsu looked flashy, but in reality, their power varied. Many dissipated without even leaving a scratch on the earthen walls.

Few could inflict damage, and none were strong enough to break through the Four Pillars Prison.

The next moment, Mo Chen leaped high, soaring over the Four Pillars Prison and charging into the crowd alone.

He originally just wanted to save them, but these Kusagakure ninjas made his anger flare up uncontrollably.

If that's the case, then come and kill him!

When the Kusagakure ninjas saw him appear, they immediately surrounded him again, and a large barrage of Ninjutsu rained down from all directions.

Mo Chen held his short sword, his gaze icy. The Sharingan hidden beneath his invisible sunglasses, which had two tomoe, suddenly evolved into three.

This time, Mo Chen didn't dodge. Chakra surged within his body, covering him in a layer of rock as he charged directly at the nearest Kusagakure ninja.

Bang bang bang bang...

Ninjutsu of various elements struck him head-on, causing gravel to fly as his rock armor shattered.

One jutsu with stronger penetration even broke through the rock armor and injured Mo Chen's arm.

But Mo Chen didn't even blink. His figure moved swiftly through.

A cold glint flashed, and several Kusagakure ninjas were decapitated before they could even scream.

Boom!!

As Mo Chen took down several Kusagakure ninjas, a heavy greatsword struck his back with immense force.

Although he was fast, others weren't entirely slow.

This was Kusagakure territory. Except for those outside the village, almost all other Kusagakure ninjas were rushing over upon hearing the news.

The greatsword that struck Mo Chen's back belonged to a seasoned Jonin.

His strength couldn't compare to the elite Jonin of the Five Great Nations' ninja villages, but he was much stronger than an average Jonin.

This strike contained Earth Style power and was incredibly forceful, weighing nearly a thousand pounds.

Mo Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, his rock armor on his back shattering, leaving a bloody mess.

"Damn it, Teacher Yamato really went easy on me. A real life-or-death battle is completely different!"

Mo Chen gritted his teeth in pain, but his movements didn't falter.

He didn't confront the greatsword wielder directly. Instead, he used the force of the blow to propel himself even further.

With a few swift slashes, several more Kusagakure ninjas met their end.

At the same time, Wood Style Chakra surged, and the wound on his back rapidly healed, steaming and quickly returning to normal.

"Is this guy a monster?!" The Kusagakure ninja wielding the greatsword stared wide-eyed, frozen in place.

With just this moment of distraction, the opportunity he had finally seized slipped away, making it difficult to catch up to Mo Chen.

Following that, Mo Chen was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, charging into the encirclement of Kusagakure ninjas and fighting his way in and out three times.

After all, this was just a small ninja village. While there were strong individuals, they were few and far between. Nine out of ten people couldn't even withstand one of Mo Chen's moves.

Moreover, as time passed, Mo Chen's movements became more ferocious, and his combat experience soared.

Meanwhile, some Kusagakure ninjas bypassed Mo Chen and attacked the Four Pillars Prison.

Rumble rumble!!

Under the combined assault of over a dozen Chunin, one of the earthen walls was quickly breached.

Water Style: Water Colliding Wave!

Unfortunately for them, they were met by a massive tidal wave.

Inside the Four-Direction Earth Flow Wall, Mo Chen's Shadow Clone Number One handed Karin over to Shadow Clone Number Two, freeing his hands to use ninjutsu.

The Kusagakure ninja, who were about to rush in through the broken wall, were instantly scattered. Their cries of alarm quickly faded with the flowing water.

"Go!" Shadow Clone Number One waved his hand and took the lead.

Shadow Clone Number Two, with Karin's mother on his back and Karin in his arms, quickly followed.

"Where do you think you're going!!"

The Great Sword Grass Ninja had lost track of Mo Chen's main body. He turned around and saw Mo Chen's two shadow clones preparing to escape, and immediately gave chase.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!" Shadow Clone Number One formed hand seals and instantly created dozens of shadow clones, blocking their path.

"..." The Great Sword Grass Ninja.

Does this guy have an endless supply of Chakra?

He's already a shadow clone, and he can still create dozens more? Is he trying to be this brutal?!

The Great Sword Grass Ninja, one of Kusagakure's rare Jonin and the most senior at that, could at most create two clones, and they couldn't last long.

Seeing Mo Chen squandering Chakra so recklessly, he shed tears of regret (envy) and lust (desire).

The next moment, he was engulfed by Mo Chen's numerous shadow clones.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shadow Clone Number One, protecting Number Two and the mother-daughter pair, quickly broke through the encirclement.

Chaos! Kusagakure was in complete disarray!

Most of their combat power was tied down by Mo Chen's main body, with Mo Chen single-handedly chasing and slaughtering a group of them.

The pressure on the shadow clones was not significant. Under Number One's protection, they were getting closer and closer to the entrance of Kusagakure.

Karin huddled in Shadow Clone Number Two's arms, tightly gripping his neck. Her gaze was fixed on Shadow Clone Number One, her eyes somewhat dazed.

She couldn't understand why he would go this far for her, when they had only just met.

A warmth surged from the bottom of her heart, warming her entire body and softening her resolve.

Mo Chen was a beam of light that shone into her previously dim world.

Besides her mother, he was the first person to protect her.

After watching the future videos earlier, she had secretly sworn that if Mo Chen could rescue her and her mother from this hellhole of Kusagakure, she would repay him with the rest of her life.

But now that this moment had truly arrived, she finally understood that Mo Chen deserved everything!

Her life, her everything, would forever belong to Mo Chen!
