Chapter 3 of Continuing to Kill

Hiss...!

After a brief exchange of blows, Goenji felt the rebellion of his body, the pain of tearing and friction sinking deep into his body, knowing that he could no longer observe and must take down the enemy first.

It was simply too painful.

Clang!

Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique.

Although the enemy had prepared upon seeing the Sharingan, Goenji still caught an opportunity and trapped the enemy in his Genjutsu.

Before the Cloud Ninja's eyes was no longer an enemy, but a terrifying monster—an octopus with eight tails that propped up the sky and covered the earth.

"Damn it!"

The Cloud Ninja was a Kumogakure Chunin. The moment he saw the Eight-Tails, combined with his battlefield situation, he instantly knew he had fallen under a Genjutsu.

He immediately stopped his chakra flow, then burst it forth in an instant to break through the Genjutsu.

Only...

Would Goenji give him the chance?

Puff--!

A short blade stabbed straight through his chest, piercing his heart. The moment he burst his chakra to break the Genjutsu, the Cloud Ninja stared wide-eyed at Goenji.

Fresh blood gushed from his mouth.

Then he quickly collapsed, falling to the ground with a thud, dying with his eyes unclosed.

Hiss...!

"Damn it, it hurts, hurts, hurts--!"

Goenji killed the Cloud Ninja before him, feeling his whole body aching.

Who said transmigrators aren't afraid of pain!

Why did it feel like only he felt pain.

He couldn't hold on anymore, which was why he thought about finishing off the enemy quickly.

Using the skills learned at the Ninja Academy, he concealed his presence and used the Transformation Technique, turning into the aforementioned Cloud Ninja with a poof.

His peerless brain told him that while this might lead to friendly fire, it made it much easier to achieve results.

Since the enemy dared to attack now, it meant they held the greater advantage, so Goenji no longer cared about that.

Dragging this out any further, he might actually kick the bucket.

However, the Transformation Technique truly lived up to its name as a god-tier ninjutsu; Goenji merely used the disguise to rapidly approach the Cloud Ninja.

None of them held any suspicion.

Or rather, they were all in the thick of battle. Although vigilant, human attention is limited, and they had no time to distinguish who was an enemy and who was a spy.

Bzz bzz!

Faced with three enemy Cloud Ninjas, Tekka Uchiha utilized the dynamic vision of his Sharingan to forcefully stall the three Chunin, then formed handseals with both hands and spat out a massive Great Fireball.

"Damn it, all of you go to hell."

Even though he alone was formidable, since Kumogakure dared to strike, naturally it didn't mean a single person could handle an entire squad.

And they were all the backbone of Kumogakure.

The coordination of the three was greater than the sum of its parts.

One was responsible for Taijutsu offense, one for Ninjutsu interference and defense, and one for slipping a blade into Tekka's body.

Their coordination was extremely tacit.

Soon, Tekka was driven into a desperate situation.

Looking at the enemies before him, he was filled with unwillingness. Someone from his Uchiha clan would actually lose to ninjas like these.

It was simply a disgraceful embarrassment.

"Hmph, you're running low on chakra, aren't you? To last this long, as expected of someone from the Uchiha clan. This kind of dojutsu is truly too perfect!"

The Kumogakure personnel looked at Tekka Uchiha with triumphant smiles on their faces.

Especially as they gazed at Tekka's Sharingan.

If they could obtain the Sharingan, that would be simply wonderful.

What Kumogakure loved most was the Kekkei Genkai of their enemies, dragging their enemies' Kekkei Genkai back into their own village.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a dark-skinned ninja arrived beside the Cloud Ninja: "Sir, do you need help?"

The Cloud Ninja captain glared at him: "Are you blind? The three of us are about to beat him to death, are you trying to steal the credit?"

He glared fiercely at the ninja before him.

Truly lacking in tact; which clan's fellow lacked situational awareness this much? It seemed he would need to report to the Raikage when he got back.

The other two were also left speechless.

Only Tekka Uchiha was in despair, never expecting that he would die on this battlefield.

"Do you think you've got me in the bag, you damned bastards." Tekka Uchiha gathered his remaining chakra, preparing to risk everything for a chance.

The dark-skinned ninja scratched his head and gave a cheeky grin, looking at the Cloud Ninja captain: "Actually, there's something I'd like to tell the captain."

As expected of Kumogakure ninjas, they were even more hot-tempered than the people of Konoha.

They felt even more hot-tempered than their own Uchiha clansmen.

"Stop babbling, kill the Konoha person first. We've received strict orders for this mission."

The Cloud Ninja felt a bit strange, but the intense battlefield left him no time to think about so much.

"Yeah, but I can't wait."

Slash!

In an instant, Goenji directly thrust a blade through the Cloud Ninja's chest.

Passing straight through his chest.

Shock!

The Cloud Ninja captain looked at Goenji with lingering disbelief on his face: "You..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he drew his last breath.

"Damn it, what are you doing?"

"Careful, that's a Konoha ninja using a Transformation Technique, take him down."

The two adjacent Cloud Ninjas saw this scene and reacted in less than a second.

As Kumogakure Chunin who survived on the battlefield, they still possessed this bit of combat experience.

They instantly deduced that the person before them was not a Kumogakure ninja, but someone from Konoha using the Transformation Technique.

He never expected that a moment of carelessness would allow the opponent to seize an opportunity.

Lightning Release: Earth Current.

The short Cloud Ninja rapidly formed handseals as bzz bzz lightning raced swiftly across the ground toward Goenji.

Reacting, the other tall Cloud Ninja drew his blade: "Damned bastard, go to hell!"

Their captain had been killed, and right when they were about to finish off an Uchiha, filling him with rage that made his eyes split.

"This..."

Seeing this scene, Tekka Uchiha changed the handseals he was making, knowing he must not miss the opportunity.

Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique.

He spat out clusters of flames from his mouth, attacking the two of them and blocking the tall Cloud Ninja who wanted to strike Goenji the moment he left the ground to evade the attack.

Puff puff puff!

Bang bang!--

Clusters of flames shot flying from the forest.

Bzz bzz!

Faced with the attack of Lightning Release: Earth Current, Goenji leaped onto a treetop and looked toward the other Cloud Ninja who had just moved and been intercepted by Tekka Uchiha.

"Having teammates really makes things much easier."

Without any nonsense, several shuriken appeared in his hand, executing the exclusive throwing art of the Uchiha, the Uchiha Shuriken Jutsu.

Clang clang--!

The shuriken shot forth. The Cloud Ninja wanted to dodge, but suddenly the shuriken collided in mid-air, altering their flight trajectory and continuing their attack on the Cloud Ninja.

"Damn it, mere shuriken."

The short Cloud Ninja instantly changed tactics, swapping evasion for sword interception.

Clang clang--!

Puff puff puff--!

The shuriken were knocked away, some embedding themselves in the ground, others in the trees behind him.

Hmph!

The Cloud Ninja snorted coldly, though his gaze was extremely solemn.

This kind of shuriken manipulation technique—must be someone from the Uchiha.

Especially recognizing those eyes on this little dark-skinned guy.

Glancing at his own teammate, he found that the other had already been intercepted by another Uchiha.

"Hmphing and hahing, you can die now."

The corners of Goenji's mouth hooked up slightly as several steel wires were hooked between his four fingers. With a yank from both hands, he exerted force in a specific pattern.

Shuriken: Manipulating Windmill.
