"Blood Manipulation: Supernova!"
After shooting the last few enemies full of holes, Shinji caught his breath.
If the enemies in the first seven rounds had given them no trouble, the eighth round had immediately changed that.
An entire seventy Genin had appeared in the eighth round, covering every elemental affinity, and each had mastered at least one C-rank ninjutsu and the Three Basic Techniques.
Although they had been somewhat surprised at first, they had still killed them all in the end.
So the issue was not how formidable seventy Genin were, but what would come in the next round.
The answer was soon revealed.
A full seventy Chunin!
By that logic, seventy Elite Ninja would appear in the tenth round!
Even a Shinobi Village in any of the Five Great Nations would struggle to muster so many Elite Ninja.
And if they could not kill all seventy Chunin within three minutes, the next wave of enemies would appear, putting them under even greater pressure.
"No wonder a perfect clear comes with a special reward. They saved the hardest part for last."
Shinji immediately stopped slacking off, drew the Kubikiribōchō, and began his slaughter!
Anyone he set his sights on met only one fate: death.
But unlike the previous wave, these Chunin knew more ninjutsu, and some even had damn Kekkei Genkai?!
"Ice Release: Swallow Snowstorm!"
"Shikotsumyaku: Ten-Finger Drilling Bullets!"
"Explosion Release: Landmine Fist!"
Although only about a tenth of the enemies possessed Kekkei Genkai, they caused far more trouble than the others.
More importantly, none of these people feared death, and they had only one objective: destroying Athena's statue.
Left with no choice, Shinji protected Athena's statue with the Hexagonal Blood Crystal first, keeping the enemies' ranged AOE attacks from destroying it outright.
By then, Sasuke and Tamamo Hotaru
