They had run into a tough opponent today. If they couldn't get rid of Aoba, he might ruin their plans.
"Everyone, attack together! Kill him!"
The leader roared, powerful chakra erupting from his body. "We can't let him leave here alive, or our entire plan is finished!"
At his command, more than a dozen ninjas in black cloaks charged at Aoba. Kunai and shuriken filled their hands, powerful chakra surged from their bodies, and ninjutsu flew at him from every direction—Fire Release, Water Release, Wind Release, and even some strange Kekkei Genkai techniques.
Aoba's eyes turned cold. He leaped lightly, dodging every attack.

"He's so strong!"
The other ninjas went pale and faltered, fear filling their eyes.
They hadn't expected Aoba to be this formidable. He had killed a Jonin in a single strike.
"Don't be afraid! There's only one of him. Together, we can kill him!"
The leader roared and charged at Aoba himself. Powerful wind chakra gathered in his hand, forming a massive blade that he brought down on Aoba.
"Wind Release: Blade of Wind!"
Aoba narrowed his eyes. Rather than dodge, he tightened his grip on the Lightning Blade and met the leader's Wind Blade head-on.
Boom!
The blades collided in a thunderous explosion. A powerful shock
