Chapter 50

However, this rock wall also neutralized a claw of the Ghost-Faced Mastiff King, while Ren slowly stood up. Relying on the energy accumulated in his cells and his immense mental power, the chakra within his body was already more than half restored. His sensory ability spread out, and his sharp gaze locked onto the three Rock Ninja, then his hands rapidly formed seals and he said, "Fire Release—Flame Bullet!"

At this moment, Ren expelled a fireball. The fireball was not large, mere half a meter in diameter. Yet the flames burning within this fireball were terrifying, especially with a faint purple tint carried upon them. It was not the purple halo of the Fireball Jutsu, but rather enveloped by a layer of purple flames.

This Flame Bullet and the Fireball were ninjutsu of the same tier, but one was area-of-effect while the other was concentrated. Concentrating the flames to form a Flame Bullet not only possessed formidable explosiveness, but also terrifying temperature!

At this very moment, the Flame Bullet rushed straight toward the distant dust, heading straight to land upon a Rock Ninja.

The Jonin within the dust instantly felt a trace of heartache. Yet obscured by the dust, they could not perceive it at all.

Just as the flames were six meters away from them, a Rock Ninja instantly said, "Earth Release—Rock Iron Cannon Jutsu!"

Then a compact rock was spat out at extreme speed, instantly transforming into a rock three meters in diameter.

"Boom..."

The searing Flame Bullet collided with the rock. Yet lasting only a moment, the center of this rock was seen turning red, immediately followed by a searing fireball bursting out from it.

Seeing this scene, the Rock Ninja said, "How is this possible? How can these flames penetrate rock!"

A Rock Ninja threw a kunai and said, "Could it be the transformation of Fire-Nature Chakra? But how can a Genin perform the nature transformation that only Jonin cultivate!"

The kunai was thrown out, yet melted in an instant as well.

However, the Flame Bullet also lost its momentum, instantly transforming into firelight and exploding.

The three Rock Ninja vanished using the Body Flicker Technique, dodging this terrifying explosion.

Ren perceived all of this and said, "What a pity. But a Jonin is a Jonin; relying on a sneak attack through the dust makes it impossible to kill anyone, but it also proves the terror of Fire Release. I wonder how terrifying that flame will be when I cultivate Fire-Nature Chakra in the future and fuse it with the searing heat from the Magical Beast meat!"

Just as Ren was deep in thought, a tremor traveled through the earth.

Then the three Jonin bit their fingers and slammed them down onto the ground!

"Summoning Technique!"

Huge runes appeared, the ground faintly cracking, and instantly a huge pangolin appeared, its pitch-black scales looking extraordinary.

The flames permeating the fierce wind landed upon these scales, merely presenting a trace of blackness without causing the slightest harm.

Ren's eyes narrowed slightly: "It actually turned out to be this kind of Summoning Beast as well!"

Ren was very familiar with the pangolin; back when he was targeted for assassination alongside Nawaki, he had seen pangolins. Later, he also learned from Jiraiya that because the Land of Earth possessed a large number of ores, it gathered the Pangolin Clan. The pangolin's diet consisted of various ores, and thus they had signed a contract with Iwagakure.

Moreover, many Jonin of Iwagakure contracted the Pangolin Clan.

Compared to the small pangolins of the past, the pangolin before him was powerful.

The three Jonin stood atop the pangolin, angrily glaring at Ren: " Brat... It seems this mission is going to fail, but don't even think about leaving alive after disrupting our plans."

I must admit, the three Jonin of Iwagakure were furious. They were collecting food here in Konoha village, preparing to secretly transport it back to the Land of Earth to relieve those citizens who lacked food and clothing. After all, the Land of Earth's soil was barren, and its food production was too low.

Who would have thought that upon stepping up, Ren would summon a Summoning Beast, and such a large one at that. In this situation, it would definitely attract the attention of Konoha village, and they would lose the time to transport the food back.

Therefore, these three Iwagakure Jonin were extremely annoyed, casting aside all else to directly summon their own Summoning Beasts, and were determined to kill Ren to vent their hatred.

Chapter 67: Fighting the Jonin

"Roar..."

The pitch-black pangolin, its sharp claws flashing with cold light, stared at the Ghost-Faced Mastiff King, carrying a faint provocation.

The Ghost-Faced Mastiff King's crimson gaze flashed with killing intent, its sharp fangs wreathed in flames.

This was the battle intent of two Summoning Beasts, especially since it was the first time since birth that the Ghost-Faced Mastiff King had seen a Summoning Beast other than the Dog Clan. The boiling hot blood within its body had already begun to burn.

Ren also stared at the three Jonin, once again biting his finger and rapidly forming seals with both hands: "Summoning Technique!"

Then a pitch-black war dog appeared, and said, "Master!"

Ren looked at the war dog and said, "Lead Kushina and Mikoto to retreat, leave this place to me!"

Kushina and Mikoto had shown fear from the very beginning. During their first mission, such a large-scale scene naturally left them somewhat unable to accept it. Compared to Ren, Kushina and Mikoto were completely children.

Ren possessed the experiences of his past life, coupled with the bizarre trash he had seen over the years, and had long since ignored such scenes. Ren still remembered a piece of trash once from Earth's antiquity—that trash had been a battlefield, a bloody battlefield. The trash that appeared turned out to be countless corpses, even corpses with severed limbs.

That time, Ren had almost vomited his intestines out. Ren had seen dead people and had even killed people, but facing those tens of thousands of bloody corpses laid out before his eyes, he still couldn't control himself.

In the end, all those corpses turned to zero in Beast King Mountain. After all, Beast King Mountain was capable of devouring these things.

It was precisely because of these experiences that Ren had long since adapted to grand scenes.

At this moment, the war dog descended beside Kushina and Mikoto, saying, "Two lords, please come with me."

Ren no longer paid attention to the matters behind him, fixing his gaze solely on the three Jonin before him.

Right now, Ren didn't even know what to say. On his first mission, he ran into such a terrifying existence. He truly wondered if Tsunade had just lost money when she chose the mission.

At this moment, Ren's eyes narrowed slightly, the Stellar Katana held upright before him, and he said, "Let's go!"

As the words fell, the Ghost-Faced Tibetan Mastiff erupted instantly.

"Roar..."

Terrifying fangs protruded, every single fang wreathed in flames.

The Ghost-Faced Mastiff King and the pangolin collided, and the three Rock Ninja also charged straight over.

Sharp kunai slashed directly toward Ren.

Ren raised the Stellar Katana: "Kunai? You guys are too ridiculous!"

"Clang..."

A single slash severed the incoming kunai, and he charged straight toward a Rock Ninja in front of him.

This Rock Ninja displayed a hint of surprise and said, "Such a sharp blade."

He then vanished from before Ren's eyes using a body flicker.

Ren leaped forward, instantly disappearing from his spot, while the Jonin who had just vanished stood in the distance.

The Body Flicker Technique was merely rapid movement, not some space ninjutsu. Executing this kind of ninjutsu made it difficult to escape Ren's sensory ability.

Fortunately, Ren was currently facing only a single Jonin, while the other two Jonin were intercepted by the Ghost-Faced Mastiff King.
