Instant Kill

Four Rock Ninja quickly surrounded Ye Yuexin.

Facing the four of them, Ye Yuexin did not feel the slightest bit of tension.

He activated Flying Dagger Mode, and every move these Rock Ninja made was imprinted in his mind.

"Kill!" one of the Rock Ninja shouted, unable to contain his impatience.

Following that, all four of them began to move.

Ye Yuexin simultaneously unleashed his footwork, flashing rapidly to the side of one Rock Ninja. His speed was so fast that they couldn't even react.

Under the Rock Ninja's terrified gaze, a short blade imbued with wind-attribute chakra pierced through his chest.

Sometimes it is just like this: you can watch helplessly as the opponent's long blade pierces your own chest, but no matter what, your hands and feet simply cannot react in time.

That kind of terror is incomparable to anything else—the scene of watching yourself walk toward death.

The combat experience of the Rock Ninja border guards was extremely rich; seeing their teammate injured, they did not panic in the slightest. Instead, with eyes wide with rage, they increased the speed of their blade strikes.

Grief solves nothing; all they could do now was seek revenge.

They would absolutely not let go of this attack opportunity their teammate had bought with his life.

It was just that this time, they had truly chosen the wrong opponent.

Watching their long blades slice through Ye Yuexin's body, a look of smug satisfaction appeared in the Rock Ninja's eyes, as if their great revenge had been fulfilled.

At this moment, only Tugang noticed that after the long blades passed through Ye Yuexin's body, not a single drop of blood flowed out.

Shock filled his heart to the extreme, and he roared, "Everyone, get back!"

Upon hearing this voice, the Rock Ninja felt a bit strange.

They had clearly already won, so why was their captain's voice so anxious?

But the next moment, when a short blade plunged into his chest, he finally realized.

His gaze moved slowly from the short blade, and what he saw was the look of guilt in Ye Yuexin's eyes.

People are not divided into right or wrong, good or bad; there are only different stances and philosophies.

The Rock Ninja hated the Konoha ninja deeply, believing they had destroyed the peace of their country and killed their close friends.

But conversely, did the people of Konoha not hate the Rock Ninja just the same? Because the Rock Ninja had also killed their loved ones and destroyed the peace of the Land of Fire.

Therefore, since they were hostile enemies, you could have pity and apology in your eyes, but your strikes still had to be just as ruthless and decisive.

Because everyone has dreams they are forced to fulfill.

Although Ye Yuexin did not have any particular dream here yet, he already had bonds.

At this time, the other three Rock Ninja also reacted.

They quickly leaped backward.

Because Ye Yuexin's performance just now was truly too bizarre; they had watched with their own eyes as their long blades sliced through Ye Yuexin's body.

Yet at that moment, Ye Yuexin had acted like a ghost, allowing the long blades to pass right through him.

Afterward, he had somehow managed to take out one of them without anything happening to him.

So, without the slightest understanding of the ability Ye Yuexin had just displayed, they decided to retreat first, observe, and then launch an effective attack.

But under Ye Yuexin's Flying Dagger Mode, how could they possibly escape his speed?

After a gust of wind, Ye Yuexin's figure vanished.

Ever since Ye Yuexin's footwork reached perfection, using it had become even more silent.

There was no longer the appearance of being caught in a hurricane as there had been when fighting Taiyuan Zeng.

It had become even more hidden and intangible.

One fleeing ninja felt a breeze blow past, but the next moment, he could no longer speak.

His entire throat had been slit by Ye Yuexin.

"Get behind me!" Seeing Ye Yuexin's speed, Tugang decided to take action himself.

He shouted immediately.

But at this moment, the two remaining Rock Ninja were about two meters away from Tugang—enough distance for Ye Yuexin to act.

Thus, with another flash, he charged toward the two fleeing Rock Ninja.

Just as he was about to reach them, in Flying Dagger Mode, Ye Yuexin twisted his body and instantly halted his forward momentum.

Because a wall of earth had suddenly erupted in front of Ye Yuexin.

The speed at which this ninjutsu was cast was something Ye Yuexin had never seen before.

Usually, with the Earth Wall Technique, chakra must be gathered before the earth wall can erupt from the ground.

But the ninjutsu Tugang unleashed seemed to have been pulled directly up from the earth.

It was fortunate that Ye Yuexin's perception in Flying Dagger Mode was incredibly detailed, otherwise, he would have definitely been lifted up by the earth wall or crashed into it.

"Yuanshan! What happened to you..." An anxious voice came from behind the earth wall.

At some point just moments ago, a flying dagger had vanished from the pouch on Ye Yuexin's thigh.

In Flying Dagger Mode, beyond his heightened perception, Ye Yuexin's speed of thought and reaction time seemed to be significantly extended.

Upon sensing the chakra gathering underground, Ye Yuexin decisively launched a flying dagger.

The Rock Village chunin could not have dodged the flying dagger from the front, let alone while their backs were turned to Ye Yuexin.

Thus, without any suspense, once the earth wall rose, the enemy suffered another casualty.

After the earth wall shattered, Tugang stepped out with a livid expression. He addressed Ye Yuexin, "Kid, I truly underestimated you. I shall deal with you personally."

Seeing Tugang's furious face, Ye Yuexin had already begun searching for an escape route while in Flying Dagger Mode.

Do not be fooled by his impressive display; in reality, he had already wasted a significant portion of the chakra he had yet to fully recover.

Although he could maintain Wind Transformation to remain invincible, the chakra reserves of an elite jonin were not something he could clash with head-on.

And now, Tugang was in a state of life-or-death hostility toward him.

Ye Yuexin stared at the slowly approaching Tugang, his Flying Dagger Mode pushed to its limit.

"The ninjutsu you just performed should be similar to the Hydrification Technique of the Hozuki Clan from the Land of Water, right?" Tugang said, laughing in his extreme rage.

An elite jonin was indeed an elite jonin. He had managed to see through the essence of Ye Yuexin's technique at a single glance.

While this shocked Ye Yuexin, it also made him even more cautious. It seemed this confrontation would not be as easy as he had imagined.

Seeing that Ye Yuexin remained silent, Tugang continued, "I have fought against them before. Let me think, what kind of ninjutsu should I use to finish you off?"

"Your technique is truly quite troublesome, as it is formless. Unlike the Hydrification Technique, which has a physical body. How about Fire Style? That also seems to be a formless attribute, doesn't it?"

Staring at Ye Yuexin's face, Tugang chuckled.

Upon hearing Tugang's words, Ye Yuexin's pupils visibly constricted; he had not expected his technique to be seen through by Tugang so easily.

Moreover, he even knew its weakness. Ye Yuexin was now wary of Tugang to the extreme.

It could be said that he had never seen a person as terrifying as Tugang before.

He was truly worthy of being a renowned figure in the entire Rock Village. He was not even in the same league as someone like Taiyuan Zeng.

"You seem nervous, kid, hehehe."

Seeing the increasingly serious look on Ye Yuexin's face, Tugang began to chuckle.

Then, as if performing for a fool, he foolishly scratched his head.

He muttered to himself in a 'low' voice, "Oh no, it seems I don't know any Fire Style. What should I do now?"

He was putting on a complete performance.

Tugang could be considered a ninja who was also very skilled at psychological warfare.

Ye Yuexin knew the opponent was blatantly mocking him, but he still could not help his face turning ashen.
