Slaughter Begins

The blue wind-attribute chakra on the blade extended by several inches! Then, Kangetsu charged straight out!

At this moment, Kangetsu was like a killing machine! Every strike claimed a life!

It could be said that this was no longer a battle! It was a one-sided slaughter!

Soon, the people from inside the valley emerged. Kangetsu finally caught sight of the elite chunin, who had about twenty men protecting a genin in their center!

But looking at these twenty men, they were already covered in wounds!

At this moment, Kangetsu's blade was pressed against the neck of the very last man among those twenty reinforcements!

With a faint smirk, he said, "What a miscalculation! I had assumed the genin you were protecting—no, the young master out for some field experience—would have his men drive the people out of the valley so he could finish them off himself, as a form of training!

But I never expected this young master to be so brave, charging straight inside! Sigh! Truly, if I had known, I would have planted more explosive tags in the valley! That way, you wouldn't have had to die so unpleasantly! Just like this!"

Cold as a frozen wasteland, a crimson line of blood seemed to appear on Kangetsu's blade. In an instant, the Hagoromo Clan member held at knifepoint was decapitated, blood spraying everywhere!

Kangetsu gave a cold, joyful laugh, then flicked the blood from his blade! He looked once more at the dozens of men before him! With his scarlet Sharingan wide open, he smiled and said, "Speak! How do you want to die? How would you be happiest dying?"

At this moment, Kangetsu released the killing intent he had absorbed and refined from killing over a dozen men, holding nothing back, and roared, "Kill them all!"

With that, Kangetsu charged out! He had wrapped his feet in chakra, resulting in extreme speed. To the people of the Warring States period, wrapping chakra around the feet was only for walking on water or cliffs! Seeing Kangetsu use it to propel himself forward with such blinding speed, they were all stunned!

But in that very instant, Kangetsu's black blade, wreathed in blue wind-attribute chakra, slashed directly toward the elite chunin!

As the saying goes, king against king, soldier against soldier! Yet at this moment, Kangetsu saw that so-called genin smile faintly and shout, "Storm Release: Laser Circus!"

At this moment, Kangetsu saw the genin's expression—a mix of cunning, excitement, and thrill.

Kangetsu merely shook his head, thinking, To be a genin capable of using Storm Release, you truly are a genius. No wonder so many people are protecting you! But are you sure this jutsu of yours will work on me?

Finishing his thought, Kangetsu gave a wicked smile and shouted, "This level of Storm Release is useless against me, even if your timing is perfect!"

As he spoke, the blue wind-attribute chakra on the black blade grew even more dazzling!

In that moment, the blue-shrouded black blade collided directly with the opponent's water-blue Storm Release!
