Easy One-on-Six

Why was this kid's body so unusual?! He could even block Wind Release and shuriken?

How did he do it?

The Sand Ninja captain racked his brains, but based on experience, he could only conclude that they could not fight him head-on now!

In any case, they still had five people on their side. At least they held an absolute advantage in numbers!

"Kid! Even if you got lucky and beat one of us, there are still so many of us waiting for you! Today, you have to hand over the scroll!"

The Sand Ninja leader stared at Zhi Ge with a gloomy gaze, like a hungry wolf eyeing its prey!

Zhi Ge noticed his look as well. The corner of his lips curled upward into a wicked smile. Then he turned around and beckoned at the Sand Ninjas.

"Yo~~! Come on! All of you at once! Let's see whose methods are better!"

"You! You're courting death!"

The Sand Ninjas were enraged by those words. They clenched and loosened the weapons in their hands, gathering their strength once more.

The moment Zhi Ge saw their stance, he knew they were about to erupt. He put away the playful expression on his face, replacing it with a solemn one.

However, Zhi Ge did not truly take them seriously. He had an even bigger gift waiting for them later.

After all, he was still exploring his Rubber-Rubber Fruit abilities. These people were perfect practice material!

"Hmph!"

Seeing Zhi Ge's arrogant attitude, the Sand Ninja leader snorted and signaled to the four Sand Ninjas beside him. Then he led them closer to Zhi Ge!

Zhi Ge immediately stepped back, but the instant his feet left the ground, the earth behind him split open, and several sharp stone spikes shot out from underground!

Seeing those sharp stone spikes, Zhi Ge frowned and swiftly dodged them. Yet several thin iron vines suddenly emerged from the ground behind him!

Like living creatures, the iron vines instantly wrapped around Zhi Ge's legs.

Zhi Ge was startled and forcefully broke free of the iron vines. However, the vines seemed to grow denser and denser, quickly binding his entire body!

Zhi Ge could not help but panic slightly at the sight.

Though these iron vines posed no real threat, they could restrict a person's movements!

Zhi Ge felt the restraining force around his body growing stronger and stronger, but he remained calm!

"Hahaha~! Weren't you so arrogant? Are you still arrogant now?"

Seeing Zhi Ge restrained by his squad's combined ninjutsu, the Sand Ninja leader immediately laughed smugly.

Zhi Ge refused to be outdone and sneered:

"Is that so? You think this little trick can trap me? You really underestimate me! What do you think you people are? Even if you added your squad instructor, you still wouldn't be a match for me!"

"Rubber-Rubber Fruit ability! Rubber Balloon!!!"

The moment Zhi Ge finished speaking, his body immediately swelled into a ball, expanding to dozens of times its original size.

Because the iron vines had no elasticity, they burst apart at once!

"Hmph! Expansion Jutsu again! Do you think we weren't prepared?! We already saw this move during the first exam! Kid! Give up your life!"

The Sand Ninja captain's eyes gleamed with excitement. With a flick of his hand, a scythe more than three meters long appeared in his grip.

"Die!!!"

The Sand Ninja captain shouted and raised his scythe before hacking it down.

Clang!

The scythe struck the rubber ball, but it could only produce a spark.

"How is that possible!?? It's this tough!"

The Sand Ninja captain's eyes widened in disbelief, filled with shock.

And that was not all! Zhi Ge's rubber ball was still growing at a visible rate!

"Damn it! What the hell is this guy?! His body is even harder than a steel plate?!"

The Sand Ninja captain was utterly horrified, but he did not give up!

"Die!!!"

He roared, swung both arms in a full arc, and slashed his scythe viciously toward Zhi Ge's head once more.

"Hmph! A petty trick!"

Zhi Ge snorted and threw a punch directly into the scythe!

Clang!

A metallic clash rang out as the two remained locked in a stalemate!

Moreover, the recoil made Zhi Ge's fist ache faintly.

"What powerful recoil!"

Zhi Ge was startled, but he reacted quickly. Before the other man's strength was fully spent, he suddenly exerted force!

Crack... crack...

A series of breaking sounds rang out!

With one punch from Zhi Ge, the scythe in the Sand Ninja captain's hand instantly warped!

Splat~~

Blood sprayed out. Before the other man could recover his senses, Zhi Ge crippled his right arm, then stomped hard on his chest, crushing his entire body into a pulp!

Seeing his companion die miserably beneath Zhi Ge's foot, the Sand Ninja leader revealed an expression of disbelief. Then the ferocity in his eyes grew even stronger.

"What do we do?! Leader! Our captain is dead!"

Seeing their captain stomped to death by Zhi Ge, the squad members were both shocked and terrified! Though they were all formidable, they still felt powerless before Zhi Ge. He was simply too strong!

And Zhi Ge had not even used his full strength!

"What are you afraid of?! Your captain is dead, but I, your leader, will keep leading you! The four of us can still take down this kid!"

"Kid! You're dead!!!"

Seeing Zhi Ge like this, the Sand Ninja leader roared inwardly!

Hearing the Sand Ninjas' shrieks, Zhi Ge frowned slightly before sneering.

"Is that so? Then I'll wait and see!"

"Kill him! Kill him for me!"

The Sand Ninja leader bellowed, a trace of madness flashing through his eyes.

At that moment, the ninjas finally came to their senses. They pulled out the ninja tools they carried and attacked Zhi Ge.

Bang bang bang...

After a series of muffled impacts, all the Sand Ninja fighters were sent flying backward, vomiting blood!

It was not that they did not want to keep attacking. Zhi Ge was simply too powerful; they could not get close to him at all. Whenever they tried to attack, Zhi Ge easily evaded, and his counterattacks were even more brutal.

Seeing this, the remaining Sand Ninja fighters were all dumbfounded. They had never expected this thin, weak-looking youth to be so terrifying. Even a ninja as powerful as their leader was no match for him!

However, the leading Sand Ninja leader did not give up. Instead, he continued charging toward Zhi Ge!

"Heh! These pieces of trash really refuse to give up. Where did they get the courage and confidence to challenge me? Aren't they afraid of dying?"

Zhi Ge looked at the group before him and smiled disdainfully.

He possessed the powers of the Rubber-Rubber Fruit. Yet these insignificant weaklings dared to challenge him!

Zhi Ge sneered and threw a punch into one Sand Ninja's cheek, knocking him unconscious on the spot!
