Reincarnation Squad

The Branch Squad was merely a newly established small team within the Infinite Hall.

Their team was small, with only four members, but all of them had gone through one world's storyline, training, and enhancements. Though they could not be considered veterans, they had gained the ability to protect themselves. They had already risen beyond the level of ordinary people and possessed some strength.

The name Branch meant that although they had only just sprouted, they would surely grow into towering trees in the future.

They had been lucky. After surviving their first world and undergoing training and enhancement, they now possessed the strength of Genin. Following a short period of training in Sunagakure, their strength had undoubtedly approached Chunin level. Their leader was a genuine Chunin, with strength comparable to that of a Special Jonin.

Combined with their familiarity with the plot and their understanding of the combat methods of the major ninja villages in the Naruto world, they were brimming with confidence.

"Hmph, four little rats. They should only be a scouting squad. Let's get closer." The man in camouflage wearing a multifunction tactical display was from South Vietnam and was naturally friendly toward China. In his first world, he had become a member of the landing force aboard the Tuatha de Danaan in Full Metal Panic!. After completing a series of training sessions and missions, he had obtained this seemingly black-tech multifunction tactical display.

He did not like anime, so he knew absolutely nothing about Naruto. Although he had heard of the Sharingan and Byakugan, how could those eyes possibly see more clearly than his multifunction display?

This multifunction display could not only use Thermal Imaging and night vision, but also zoom in and out. In other words, within three hundred meters, as long as he could see a place, switching on Thermal Imaging and zoom functions made it even more powerful than the Byakugan. The G36 in his hands was also far more reliable than shuriken or kunai.

For ninjas unfamiliar with him, encountering such an enemy meant being discovered and killed in an instant.

Relying on this equipment, he had already killed no fewer than three Konoha Genin. They had gone from being cautious at the beginning to strolling about leisurely now. They believed that even if they encountered Jonin, they would never lose. As "players" of the Infinite Hall, it was only natural that they would be stronger than the natives of the instance world.

They were now happily hunting Genin. Even if the other side had a Chunin leading them, it was not something to fear. Instead, it was something to be pleased about.

It meant that killing them would bring richer rewards and greater profits.

The ninjas they had killed before only carried shuriken, Soldier Pills, and, if they were lucky, ninjutsu scrolls containing personal insights and kunai. Beyond that, there had been no greater gains.

If they wanted to survive in the Infinite Hall, they had to grow stronger quickly. Had they not narrowly escaped death in their first world and stood out from the rest so they could continue becoming stronger and live better lives?

The man named Ruan Takou had already discovered the four of them, but they did not alert the enemy. Although ninjas could not contend with firearms in combat power, when it came to escaping and preserving their lives, once they decided to run, only their boss and the other person with Omni-directional Mobility Gear could catch up to them.

"Approach them slowly. Don't rush." Their leader, the broad, muscular man standing at the front, did not even glance around him. His lips moved slightly as he spoke in a low voice.

His name was Ling Chaozong, a genuine chinese man. The world he had entered was the world of History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi. He had been fortunate enough to receive guidance from Hayato Furinji, the strongest old man in that world, and was steadily progressing along the path of a Martial Arts Master. This time, after acquiring a Chakra refinement method, his exceptional physical fitness allowed him to grasp it almost immediately. With his martial arts foundation, he comprehended the Transformation Jutsu, Clone Jutsu, and Substitution Jutsu far faster than the others. His hand-sign speed was no weaker than that of an ordinary Chunin. He now followed the path of a taijutsu-focused ninja and could face Chunin head-on, instantly killing anyone who tried to compete with him in taijutsu.

Through the training and cultivation he had undergone in History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi, he had already killed two Konoha Chunin.

Even one of them had been a taijutsu Chunin, yet in his eyes, that man's techniques had been childish. Even without this body, he could still have easily killed them with the Way of Technique.

The blond, thug-like man behind Ling Chaozong, chewing bubble gum and wearing a brown leather jacket, was Kim Soo-jun. He was South Korean, yet he had entered the Survey Corps. He had only survived after narrowly escaping death countless times. The reason he had joined Ling Chaozong's team was entirely because Ling Chaozong was reliable—more reliable than most people in the Infinite Hall.

As for the man on Ling Chaozong's left, he was a genuine banana, yellow-skinned with a white heart, who only knew a little Cantonese and not much chinese. Louis Joe was the weakest member of the team, but he also had tremendous potential. He came from the prestigious Hogwarts. Although he had skipped grades repeatedly, when he left the Harry Potter world, he had still only been a third-year student. At sixteen, he had been able to join this team not only because he would definitely learn Avada Kedavra and the Cruciatus Curse in the future, but also because he had his own special moves.

For example, Accio, Rennervate, and a series of extremely convenient support spells.

His role in the team was precisely that of support.

Tank Ling Chaozong, scout and ADC Ruan Takou, agile damage dealer Kim Soo-jun, and support Joe—the composition was extremely well balanced. Against the opposing ninja squad, it would definitely be a one-sided slaughter.

Just as they pretended not to have noticed anything, four people suddenly rushed out from all directions.

Kim Soo-jun let out a snort of laughter, but his hands did not slow. The grappling wire of the Omni-directional Mobility Gear in his hands shot into a nearby tree in an instant. An environment like Konoha was practically made for him. Gas burst from the canisters on his back, the cable retracted, and he was launched forward in an instant.

He was too fast, startling Ling Chaozong and Ruan Takou.

"Wait, Kim, they're—" Kim Soo-jun was already airborne like a falcon, the two long blades in his hands slicing through the necks of the four charging figures like a meat grinder. Then came four loud pops, and all four figures turned into smoke.

"They were only Shadow Clones." Only then did Ruan Takou and Ling Chaozong finish speaking.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. Four heavy kunai flew from above, below, left, and right, concealed by the Shadow Clones, and all struck Kim Soo-jun at once—in the face, throat, chest, and abdomen.

Every vital point of the human body was hit in an instant.

Kim Soo-jun died immediately, not even having time to let out a scream. The steel cable remained embedded in the tree, dragging his corpse as it swayed back and forth like a pendulum, beginning the countdown to their deaths.
