In the blink of an eye.
Genya arrived beneath the high tower of the guard post.
Inside the fence.
There were over a dozen wooden houses.
At this moment, more than a dozen rogue ninjas from Kirigakure were gathered together, drinking and eating meat.
Genya's gaze sharpened, killing intent surging from his body.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Wind Release: Gale!"
Genya was over twenty meters away from the rogue ninjas.
Bolstered by the Wind Release, the Fire Style transformed into a sky full of flames, surging toward the rogue ninjas who were enjoying their meal!
The powerful Jonin and Chunin reacted, hurriedly casting ninjutsu to escape.
But those Kirigakure rogue ninjas who were too slow to flee.
Were instantly submerged in a sea of fire.
Genya would not let them off easily.
They were, after all, raw materials for upgrading his bloodline limit.
Genya clapped his hands together and rapidly unleashed Wood Release!
Sturdy trees, like agile serpents, coiled around five or six of the rogue ninjas!
A single sneak attack.
The Kirigakure rogue ninjas provided Genya with over 1500 energy points.
"Wood Release!? Are you from the Senju Clan of the Land of Fire?" the rogue ninja leader Tsuruta Zetsu exclaimed.
Relying on Wood Release, Hashirama Senju had nearly beaten the other four great hidden villages into submission, his reputation spreading far and wide.
Therefore, the moment he saw Wood Release, even though Genya was wearing a Black Cat Mask, Tsuruta Zetsu assumed the former was a ninja of the Senju Clan.
But didn't Konoha run out of Wood Release ninjas? Who was he?
However.
Genya looked quite young.
Tsuruta Zetsu believed that since he had cast three ninjutsu in a row, his chakra must be rapidly depleting, and a smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
As long as they stalled for time.
The opponent would surely run out of steam soon.
At that point, they could capture and kill him.
It must be said.
Rogue ninjas who came from ninja villages possessed analytical abilities far superior to those of wandering ninjas, having identified the crux of the problem.
But Tsuruta Zetsu's conjecture was completely ineffective against Genya!
Because Genya had a full 8000 points of reserve chakra!
He held a Kunai purchased from Granny Cat's weapon shop, and after infusing it with wind-attribute chakra, it became incomparably sharp as he charged toward a Chunin.
Genya's speed was incredibly fast.
In an instant, he reached the Kirigakure rogue ninja.
The sharp Kunai shimmered with cold light as he slashed down.
The rogue ninja was horrified and quickly raised his own Kunai to block.
With a single "ding," a faint "squelch" followed in an instant, accompanied by blood splattering everywhere.
A fatal blow!
Chapter 33: Level 3 Sage Body (Seeking follow-up reads, favorites, and monthly tickets!)
At this moment.
Whether it was Genya or the Kirigakure rogue ninjas, both sides were blinded by bloodlust.
It was either you die or I die.
Especially the Kirigakure rogue ninjas.
Seeing so many of their colleagues die at Genya's hands, their eyes turned blood-red, and they wished they could tear him limb from limb!
"Ninja Art: Hidden Mist Technique!" Tsuruta Zetsu performed hand seals, and a mist quickly rose in the surrounding area.
Visibility dropped instantly.
One could only see about half a meter in front of them.
All the rogue ninjas.
They were all hidden within the mist.
The Village Hidden in the Mist was shrouded in fog year-round, which had honed the hearing of its rogue ninja to a razor's edge, creating a combat environment that favored them.
Genya gripped his Kunai, his gaze warily scanning everything around him.
At the same time, he slowed his breathing, sensing his surroundings and feeling for the enemy's chakra.
A rogue ninja from the Mist approached Genya's left rear in total silence, moving without a single footstep, like a phantom.
A savage grin spread across his face as he suddenly lunged, his body erupting with astonishing speed as he thrust his Kunai toward Genya's back!
"You're dead!"
"Poof!"
Genya's body transformed into a log.
Substitution Technique!
"When did he use the Substitution Technique?" The rogue ninja was horrified, his hair standing on end; realizing he was in danger, he tried to slip back into the mist to hide.
But.
It was too late.
Genya had already arrived behind him.
A bright blade slashed across.
The rogue ninja's throat was cut, and blood sprayed onto the ground.
He tried to cover the wound, but it was futile; the light gradually faded from his eyes as he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Genya's body.
Once again, he silently vanished into the mist.
From time to time, the sounds of weapons clashing rang out.
Relying on his keen senses and sensitivity to chakra, Genya moved like a tiger among a flock of sheep.
Every time he swung his blade.
It was likely to claim the life of a Mist ninja.
"This won't do, if we keep going like this, we'll definitely die!" Tsuruta Zetsu roared in anger, then dispelled the mist.
Only two rogue Mist ninja remained.
Tsuruta Zetsu was a Jonin, though a small cut had been carved into his arm.
The other was only a Chunin-level ninja with inferior strength; he had several deep, bone-exposed wounds and had lost most of his combat effectiveness!
"Little brother, let us go, and I will give you all the wealth I have collected!" Tsuruta Zetsu knew it by now.
If they kept fighting.
There was no guarantee the two of them would leave here alive.
The youth wearing the Black Cat Mask before them possessed strength beyond imagination.
Genya did not answer, looking at the two with a mocking smile that made the latter shudder.
The opponent's chakra was the raw material for Genya to upgrade his bloodline limit.
Let them go?
Of course that was impossible!
Tsuruta Zetsu roared, "Kid, don't push us too far!"
Since he knew the opponent would never let them go, Tsuruta Zetsu decided to fight to the death.
"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet!"
Rushing river water rose up, merging into a water dragon over ten meters long.
Tsuruta Zetsu pointed a finger at Genya.
The water dragon seemed to receive a command, descending from the sky with a low, roaring hiss, its massive watery body lunging to tear at Genya on the ground.
A sneer of disdain appeared on the corner of Genya's mouth as he formed seals to cast "Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique."
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique" was only a C-rank ninjutsu.
It was not a high-level technique.
But under the reinforcement of Genya's abundant chakra, its power was terrifying.
The collision between water and fire.
Immediately, a hissing sound rang out.
Water vapor surged.
Heat swirled through the air.
"Body Flicker Technique!"
Genya vanished from his spot.
"Such incredible speed! He's coming, watch out!" Tsuruta Zetsu cried out in shock, frantically urging his companions to scatter.
But it was too late.
Genya's speed was truly too fast; in an instant, he arrived beside another Mist rogue ninja, his presence like the whisper of the Grim Reaper lingering in the latter's ear.
"Wood Style: Cutting Technique."
A wooden spike pierced the Mist rogue ninja's body.
Immediately following.
One wooden spike after another sprouted from within his body.
In an instant, he was riddled with holes like a hornet's nest.
"Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique!" Tsuruta Zetsu, terrified, hurriedly formed hand seals and spat out a massive torrent of water.
Just as it was about to crash into Genya, the latter leaped high into the air, landing steadily upon the surface of the water.
"Hmm? Explosive Tags?" Genya's gaze sharpened as he realized that, at some unknown moment, several Explosive Tags had been stuck to his body.
"Die!" Tsuruta Zetsu let out a maniacal laugh.
"BOOM!"
The several Explosive Tags detonated in unison with astonishing force, creating a temporary clearing even amidst the rushing water.
Soon.
A mangled, incomplete corpse surfaced on the water.
Crimson blood stained the current red.
"Brothers, I have avenged you!" Tsuruta Zetsu let out a crazed laugh.
