Swiftness Potion

"Everyone, we need to run faster. I successfully used the Swiftness Potion on the Sand Ninja, and their movement speed has increased by at least twenty percent!"

In a forest belonging to the Leaf Village, Zhou Duan, who was fleeing, warned his three teammates running beside him. Upon hearing Zhou Duan's warning, even though they had immense trust in him, the three couldn't help but stumble. Nawaki, the most hot-headed of the three, couldn't contain his anger and shouted, "Zhou Duan, are you crazy? Even if you wanted to counter-attack them, you should have used the Swiftness Potion on us to increase our speed!"

"Don't rush. When have I ever done something foolish like boosting my opponent's strength for no reason? This potion has side effects!"

Zhou Duan glanced back, and the smile on his lips made Water Gate, Hyakusho, and Nawaki recall the hormone potion he had used on their enemies not too long ago.

"Water Gate, Hyakusho, Nawaki, keep an eye on what's happening behind us at all times. When you hear the Sand Ninja scream, turn back quickly and each find a Genin to kill them as fast as possible. I'll hold off their Chunin. After you finish your fights, come help me quickly. Nawaki, use the second plan I specifically told you about!"

"Understood!"

Although they were curious about what kind of potion Zhou Duan used to make his opponents scream, the effect of Zhou Duan's hormone potion not long ago was too immense. They had a general understanding of Zhou Duan's style of using medicine. Coupled with the expression Zhou Duan showed, which was exactly the same as when he used the hormone potion, the three unhesitatingly obeyed.

And Zhou Duan certainly didn't disappoint Water Gate, Hyakusho, and Nawaki. Just five seconds after Water Gate and the others responded, three screams and a muffled groan, though suppressed but full of pain, erupted from behind them simultaneously!

"Counter-attacked! You weak Sand Ninja from the Land of Wind, I've put up with you for so long... Holy crap!"

Hearing the expected screams, Water Gate and Hyakusho immediately turned back and engaged in battle. Nawaki, however, let out a loud yell as he charged back with his kunai. But upon seeing the scene behind them, Nawaki, who was never the most composed, was the first to exclaim "Holy crap!" to express his respect for Zhou Duan!

While Water Gate and Hyakusho weren't as shocked as Nawaki, they still wore expressions of astonishment. It wasn't their fault for looking like that; the scene behind them was too bizarre. The four Sand Ninja from the Land of Wind who were pursuing them had stopped. They were barely standing on one leg, and to alleviate their pain, they had all dropped the weapons in one of their hands, turning to rub their left legs, which had become as thick as a meter in diameter!

"Leaf Weapon Secret Technique--Riot Feast!"

Despite being shocked by the enemies' current state, the opportunity was fleeting. Water Gate was stunned for less than a second before waving his hand. Over ten shuriken shot out from his hand, not only blocking the escape routes of the opposing Genin but also sending five shuriken towards vital points on the Sand Ninja's bodies!

Water Gate's body followed closely behind, kunai in hand, he charged out. Like a gazelle's elusive leap, leaving no trace, or like mercury flowing everywhere, penetrating every gap, Water Gate weaved through the gaps between the shuriken, transforming into a black shadow that flashed continuously, sticking close to the Sand Ninja's bodies!

In just one exchange, Water Gate had already inflicted several wounds that exposed bone on the Sand Ninja, who were in immense pain and restricted in their movements. He paid special attention to their inconvenient left legs, leaving several long gashes on their abnormally thick thighs. Their left legs, already in agony from Zhou Duan's potion, were further injured. Even with their strong willpower, the Sand Ninja couldn't help but cry out in pain!

However, Water Gate showed no mercy in the face of all this. A hint of a bloodthirsty smile appeared. To prevent the opponents from exploding in desperation, Water Gate stomped fiercely on the Sand Ninja's crotch with his right foot. Instantly, the Sand Ninja let out a desperate wail. With the Sand Ninja in too much pain to resist, Water Gate delivered the final blow with his kunai, plunging it deep into the Sand Ninja's heart!

"Damn brat, die!"

Compared to Water Gate's decisive action, Hyakusho's reaction was noticeably slower. The strength of the Sand Ninja opposite him was also slightly greater. He dropped the long sword in his hand and, enduring the pain in his body, his hands blurred into several afterimages, sending a barrage of kunai, shuriken, and explosive tags towards Hyuga Hyakusho!

"Eight Trigrams Defense Style--Rotation!"

Although he hadn't yet learned the powerful defensive ninjutsu, the Heavenly Spin, the lesser Rotation was more than enough to deal with the projectiles thrown by a Genin-level Sand Ninja. After deflecting the last shuriken, Hyakusho took a deep look at his opponent clutching his crotch in pain. Confirming that his opponent's movements were severely restricted, he began forming hand seals from a distance.

"Water Release--Water Bullet!"

A large amount of Chakra gathered in his chest, and then Hyakusho expelled it all in one breath. Numerous fist-sized water spheres whistled through the air as they hurtled towards his opponent. In an instant, countless washbasin-sized craters were blasted into the area where the Sand Ninja was hiding!

"Ahhhh!!!"

It had to be said that, as a member of the Sand Ninja's harassment team, this Genin had decent evasion instincts. As Hyakusho's attack was about to reach him, his body instinctively leaped rapidly to the right. However, he had only focused on dodging Hyakusho's attack and, in his crisis, forgot that his left leg had become a burden. His futile evasion was unsuccessful and wasted the last bit of time for defense. In the end, although the Sand Ninja managed to avoid a fatal blow with all his might, Hyakusho's Water Bullets still left four or five gruesome wounds on his body!

"Opening!"

The intense pain throughout his body not only tormented the Sand Ninja but also greatly reduced his defensive power. Hyakusho didn't miss this opportunity. He controlled the remaining Water Bullets to smash towards the Sand Ninja, while his body followed closely behind. His hands spread into palms, Chakra gathered upon them, and with a flash, he was in front of the Sand Ninja!

"Gentle Fist Style, Exploding Heart Palm Style!"

In a flash, Hyakusho's hands struck the Sand Ninja's chest. Unlike the conventional method of channeling Chakra into the enemy's body to disrupt their meridians, this move was extremely overbearing. It disregarded the fine flow of Chakra and the location of the opponent's meridians, instead crudely injecting a large amount of Chakra into the opponent's chest and then detonating it within their body!

"Bang!"

A low muffled sound echoed, the sound of Hyakusho's Chakra exploding in the Sand Ninja's heart. It not only interrupted the Sand Ninja, who was holding a kunai and trying to counter-attack in his agony, but also blasted a fist-sized bloody hole in his back, spraying a large amount of blood mist!
