Ren narrowed his eyes, spreading out his sensory ability.
At that moment, the Rock Ninja who seemed so fast in Ren's eyes felt slow under his perception.
Ren instinctively turned around and said, "Katsuyu, be careful. There's something underground!"
As soon as he spoke, Ren dodged the Rock Ninja's Kunai.
A hint of surprise appeared in the Rock Ninja's eyes. "Sensory ability!"
The ground trembled faintly. Katsuyu, who had been about to come to the rescue, was stopped by a Pangolin that burst out of the earth.
The earth-brown Pangolin did not look large, but it was clearly a Summoning Beast.
No wonder these Rock Ninja had received the news so quickly. They had a Summoning Beast!
As Ren was thinking, a Rock Ninja said, "Captain... can we use ninjutsu?"
The two Rock Ninja in the distance were currently dealing with Nawaki. He was already ten years old, and with the Senju Clan's training, he was still handling two ninjas alone with ease.
The captain dodged Nawaki's fist and said, "Idiot... do you want to draw Konoha's ninjas here? We absolutely can't use ninjutsu. If we make too much noise and attract Konoha's ninjas, we're finished!"
The Rock Ninja nodded, his gaze fixed on Ren. "Even if we can't use ninjutsu, how long can a five- or six-year-old brat last?"
With that, he threw out a Kunai, followed by three Shuriken.
Ren spread out his sensory ability and could clearly sense the Kunai and Shuriken flying through the air, but he roared inwardly, Move!
His body moved in an instant, but he still could not evade them completely.
Screech...
The Kunai scraped along Ren's left arm, carving a huge gash into it.
Pain filled Ren's eyes, but there was also unwillingness. His sensory ability clearly detected the movements of the Shuriken and Kunai, yet his body could not keep up with their speed or react quickly enough. Thus, he avoided the three Shuriken but failed to dodge the Kunai.
Ren's body was still far too weak.
The Rock Ninja grinned mockingly, drew a Kunai, and glanced at the battle. "Tsunade's Katsuyu has been stopped by the Pangolin. Nawaki truly deserves to be a disciple of a great clan; he can actually withstand two people surrounding him. I'm the weakest among the three of us, but you're even weaker than me. At the next attack, just wait for death."
After saying that, he slowly toyed with the Kunai between his fingers. Then a vicious look appeared on his face as he charged at Ren.
Ren exhaled a breath of stale air, his gaze calm. "Still using a Kunai? Then there's no need to worry. Now I'm going to make you die!"
Filled with anger, Ren stared at the blood slowly flowing from his left arm and felt the killing intent in his heart. This was the first time Ren had been injured. How could he not be furious? Under the impact of his anger, the nervousness from his first battle also eased.
Or rather, Ren had long known that he would face such situations in the future.
A cold gleam flashed in Ren's eyes. He spread out his sensory ability and sensed the Rock Ninja rushing toward him.
Seeing Ren remain still, the Rock Ninja smiled cruelly. "Die!"
At that moment, Ren thought, Release!
A cloud of smoke appeared, and a katana appeared in Ren's hand.
Clang...
A silver flash streaked past, and the Rock Ninja stared at Ren in shock. "How is that possible?!"
The Rock Ninja's Kunai had been cut in half, along with his right arm.
Aah...
He instantly let out a pained roar. Ren channeled Chakra into the soles of his feet and charged forward.
Screech...
In an instant, the Rock Ninja was cut in half at the waist.
Ren's eyes remained cold. "Idiot... you wanted to use a Kunai to block this katana? Are you looking for death?"
Ren's katana came from the world of Swallowed Star. It was the katana that had pierced through that corpse. Weapons from the world of Swallowed Star were forged from Kro Alloy.
Kro Alloy was made from the corpses of Swallowed Star monsters and the metal known as Blue Gold, discovered on the moon. It was a material that surpassed diamond. How could Kunai from the Naruto World compare?
Flames of Fury
Hiss...
The Rock Ninja in the distance sucked in a cold breath and stared at Ren in disbelief.
Ren looked only five or six years old, yet he had killed a Genin. Although that Genin was not particularly strong, only somewhat stronger than an ordinary person, he was already over twenty years old. Yet he had been killed while facing a child.
The captain among the three had a grim expression. "That weapon!"
That was right—it was the weapon. Ren's katana came from the world of Swallowed Star. Forged from an alloy even harder than diamond, it was simply not something Kunai from the Naruto World could compare to. When Ren had cut through the Kunai just now, it had felt as easy as slicing tofu. When he cut down that Rock Ninja, it had been like cutting through air.
This katana was far too sharp. Ren did not know whether his katana could compare to Orochimaru's Kusanagi Sword, but in terms of sharpness, they should not have differed by much.
Huff...
Ren exhaled, his hands trembling faintly as he silently calmed his shaken heart. Yes, he had just killed someone, so he was somewhat shaken. Although he had known he would kill people someday, actually doing so now still unsettled him.
The somewhat disheveled Nawaki shouted from afar, "Ren... get out of here quickly and find help!"
Hearing that, Ren was about to leave.
Suddenly, Ren felt a thread of alarm fill his heart.
His sensory ability immediately detected something as well, and he slashed forward.
Bang...
A person appeared, and a fist struck Ren in the abdomen. Ren was sent flying before landing in the distant training ground.
Cough...
Ren spat out blood. Feeling the pain in his abdomen, his eyes turned crimson. "Body Flicker Technique... you're a Jonin!"
A man in civilian clothes appeared, his face cold and indifferent. He could actually use the Body Flicker Technique, a ninjutsu only Jonin could employ.
At that moment, the man stared at his own shoulder before looking at Ren. "What a sharp katana. Just brushing against it left such a huge wound. That piece of trash did not die unjustly."
As he spoke, he stepped on the Genin Ren had killed and slowly walked over.
Ren said, "What's going on? How did a Jonin from Iwagakure appear in Konoha? Haven't you been discovered?"
The Rock Ninja in the distance showed great respect toward the man. It was clear that he truly was a Jonin.
