Slaughtering Sunagakure, Targeted by the Female Boss

Qian Ye huddled tightly behind a massive boulder.

The temperature in the air was absurdly high.

The rock's surface had already been baked scorching hot. Pressing against it made even his skin and flesh ache.

The right-wing position had completely collapsed.

Several Hidden Leaf Genin who had just thrown down their weapons and turned to flee had now become dried, shattered chunks scattered across the ground.

Their deaths were utterly gruesome.

Qian Ye looked at those dried corpses, and his stomach churned violently.

Run?

Where could he run?!

Qian Ye's mind raced, immediately strangling any thought of fleeing before it could take root.

Orochimaru was watching from the command tower behind them.

The kunai of the disciplinary squad would definitely be faster than Sunagakure's fireballs.

Even if he somehow avoided the disciplinary squad, Explosive Tags and ninjutsu were flying everywhere across this damned battlefield.

Sunagakure's puppeteers loved hiding in the shadows and picking off isolated deserters.

Less than twenty meters from Qian Ye, a Hidden Leaf Chunin had barely taken two steps before a poisoned Senbon pierced straight through his throat.

Black, poisoned blood sprayed everywhere. The man collapsed without even managing a scream.

Running blindly was absolutely a dead end.

If he wanted to live, he had to repel Sunagakure's attack!

Qian Ye lowered his body and shifted his attention away from Pakura. That woman was far too strong; she was not someone he could deal with right now.

But Pakura was not the only enemy on the battlefield.

Although Sunagakure's army was advancing fiercely, the rank-and-file soldiers were still made of flesh and blood.

The Sunagakure Genin and Chunin charging alongside Pakura were Qian Ye's true targets.

He carefully poked his head out and quickly swept his gaze across the battlefield.

Pakura was slaughtering Hidden Leaf ninja in the center of the battlefield. The Sunagakure ninja around her closely followed her pace, specifically finishing off Hidden Leaf wounded who had been severely injured by Scorch Release.

Those Sunagakure ninja were all focused on the frontal battlefield. They had no guard against the flank at all.

The opportunity had come.

Qian Ye pulled out the large-caliber revolver from his Ninja Tool Pouch. The cold metallic feel steadied his tense nerves slightly.

Crouching behind the boulder, he gripped the gun with both hands and slowly extended the barrel.

The sights settled over the nearest Sunagakure Chunin.

The man was bending over a Hidden Leaf ninja's corpse, intending to loot the spoils.

Qian Ye held his breath, his index finger resting on the trigger.

Bang!

A deafening gunshot rang out across the chaotic battlefield.

Orange-red muzzle flash burst from the barrel. The back of that Sunagakure Chunin's head exploded, spraying red and white matter everywhere.

The corpse fell stiffly to the ground, twitched twice, and went still.

Several nearby Sunagakure ninja were startled by the sudden gunshot. They turned toward the boulder where Qian Ye was hiding, their faces filled with shock.

"What kind of hidden weapon is that?!"

"Over there!"

Qian Ye gave them no time to react. He cocked the hammer, and the revolver's cylinder spun as the next round chambered.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three gunshots rang out in succession. Blood holes burst open in the chests of three Sunagakure Genin at the same time. Before they could even cry out in pain, the immense force blasted them away.

The remaining Sunagakure ninja completely panicked.

They had never seen such a bizarre method of attack. There were no chakra fluctuations, no hand seals, only deafening blasts and instant, lethal force.

Taking advantage of their panic, Qian Ye charged out from behind the boulder.

Chakra surged wildly into his legs.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

After ten rapid stomps against the ground, Qian Ye vanished from where he stood, turning into an afterimage as he lunged at the nearest Sunagakure ninja.

That Sunagakure ninja had just drawn his Kunai when Qian Ye appeared before him.

The revolver's barrel pressed directly against his forehead.

Bang!

His brains exploded, and the corpse toppled backward.

Qian Ye did not pause. He spun around and pulled the trigger again.

Bang! Bang!

Two more Sunagakure ninja fell into pools of blood.

In barely a dozen seconds, all eight Sunagakure ninja had been killed.

Qian Ye crouched down and quickly scavenged Explosive Tags and Military Ration Pills from the bodies. On the battlefield, consumables like these were the most valuable things.

He stuffed them into his Ninja Tool Pouch and continued scanning the battlefield.

Not far ahead, three Sunagakure Chunin were attacking a Hidden Leaf medical ninja. The medic carried a heavy medical case and had no ability to resist at all.

Qian Ye raised his revolver without hesitation.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three gunshots rang out. The heads of the three Sunagakure Chunin exploded almost simultaneously.

The medical ninja dropped onto the ground in terror, his face full of fear and gratitude.

Qian Ye nodded at him, then turned and continued searching for his next target.

He had now entered an extremely calm state. Fear had been buried in the deepest part of his heart, leaving behind only pure combat instinct.

Although Garp's special training plan had only just begun, the changes in his body had already become apparent. His muscles' explosive strength had improved by far more than a single level.

Combined with Chakra-Infused Geppo, his mobility on the battlefield far surpassed that of ordinary Genin.

With a revolver, a weapon that completely outclassed everything else here, he was like a fish in water amid the chaotic battlefield.

Qian Ye moved quickly, specifically targeting Sunagakure ninja who were alone or had their backs turned to him.

Bang!

A Sunagakure Chunin forming hand seals was shot through the heart from behind and died on the spot.

Bang! Bang!

Two Sunagakure ninja pursuing Hidden Leaf Genin were shot in the head.

Like a ghost, Qian Ye constantly harvested the lives of Sunagakure ninja along the edge of the battlefield.

He only killed Chunin and Genin, never provoking those powerful Jonin.

Every shot was precise and fatal. He never wasted a bullet.

In just a few minutes, more than twenty Sunagakure ninja had died to his gun.

That number might not have seemed like much across the entire right-wing battlefield.

But Qian Ye's bizarre style of attack had already drawn Sunagakure's attention.

"There's a Hidden Leaf brat using some strange hidden weapon!"

"He's fast and specializes in sneak attacks!"

"Watch your backs!"

Disorder began spreading through Sunagakure's formation. Many started diverting their attention to guard against threats around them, naturally weakening their offensive.

In the center of the battlefield, Pakura was preparing to unleash another wave of Scorch Release.

She sharply noticed the chaos among her own forces.

"What's going on?"

Pakura turned toward the right and happened to see a thin, frail Hidden Leaf boy emerging from behind cover.

The boy held a black chunk of metal in his hand, aiming it at the back of a Sunagakure Chunin.

Bang!

Muzzle flash erupted. The Sunagakure Chunin fell in response.

Pakura frowned.

What kind of weapon was that?

There were no chakra fluctuations, yet it could instantly kill a Chunin.

What concerned her even more was the boy's speed.

That burst of speed just now was definitely not something an ordinary Genin could achieve.

"Interesting."

Pakura withdrew the hand she had been about to use for ninjutsu. With a flash, she rushed directly toward Qian Ye.

Qian Ye had just taken down his twenty-third Sunagakure ninja and was preparing to change positions.

An extremely dangerous sensation suddenly struck him.

Without even thinking, he activated Geppo and dodged to the side.

Boom!

An orange-red fireball grazed past his shoulder and crashed violently into the spot where he had just been standing.

The ground was instantly scorched black by the heat, and the air warped and twisted.

Cold sweat immediately broke out all over Qian Ye.

He looked up and saw Pakura standing in midair on chakra.
