This was an entirely unexpected turn of events.
The calm and composed demeanor of the three, or rather, their disdainful expressions, instantly enraged the leading Sand Ninja boy.
Of course, this Sand Ninja boy wasn't a complete idiot. He was a bit arrogant, but he was still smart. The fact that the three of them could remain so calm meant that either he was an arrogant fool or he really had some skills. If it were a small ninja village, it would almost certainly be the former, but the three of them were from Kirigakure, and they all looked to be only around ten years old.
This young Sand Ninja was very inclined towards the latter.
Therefore, in his anger, this Sand Ninja boy also raised his level of vigilance towards the three of them to an unprecedented level.
Of course, retreating is out of the question.
He still had plenty of confidence in his team's strength. Since the other side was so arrogant, he was going to teach these three brats a lesson!
"Chi, Komaru, watch your positioning, use Formation B!"
The black-mole Sand Ninja boy leading the group immediately removed the backpack containing the puppet from his back and quickly spoke in a deep voice to his teammates on either side.
"Um!"
"I understand!"
The two Sand Ninja boys and girls, who were about the same age, responded in unison, and their formation immediately dispersed.
Only at that moment.
"Snort!"
Kisame Hoshigaki let out a cold snort.
"Boom!"
The figure that flashed out.
The moment the immense Chakra was unleashed.
"!?"
The boy with the mole leading the group immediately changed his expression. Putting everything else aside, the sheer surge of Chakra alone was enough for him to realize that his team had definitely kicked a hornet's nest this time!
This emerging mentality of retreat.
"I..."
The words that have not yet been uttered.
"Splash!"
" Water Release: Water Explosion Jutsu!"
Kisame's preemptive hand seals and the surging spring of water rising from the ground!
While directly isolating the three Sand Ninja.
"Not good!"
Kisame aimed intently at the location of the Sand Ninja girl named 'Sen', and fiercely pounced forward.
The other two Sand Ninja boys on either side all changed their expressions.
That figure wanted to go directly to provide support.
However.
But it was already a step too late.
Kisame dashed to a close-range position.
The moment the Sand Ninja girl reacted, Kisame slammed a heavy punch into her abdomen, the force of which caused her stomach to cave in dramatically.
"Wow!"
The girl's face and expression were completely distorted at that moment.
He couldn't stop the gushing of blood.
Then.
Kisame around in an instant, his right leg flying up and slamming heavily onto the girl's head with a powerful strike.
"Whoosh!"
The figure of this Sand Ninja girl flew out like a cannonball.
"Bang!"
It crashed heavily onto the ground.
A second major blow.
The girl, feeling dizzy and bleeding from all seven orifices, was completely powerless. Her consciousness gradually faded away, and she only saw a blurry scene of her teammates rushing to her aid in the last moment.
The Sand Ninja girl also fell into a coma.
It wouldn't be a fatal blow.
Kisame's attack was ruthless, crippling the Sand Ninja girl with a single Kisame. The two Sand Ninja boys, seeing their teammate severely injured...
Both of their faces became incredibly ferocious.
"Thousand!"
"You bastard, I'm going to kill you!"
At this moment.
The two of them then pounced on him without any regard for anything else!
They have no intention of retreating now; they just want to kill Kisame here and avenge their teammates!
However, with their meager strength, it was absolutely impossible for them to fight against Kisame.
It happened in just a few minutes.
Just as Kei and Mei Terumi were beginning to figure things out...
"Bang"
"Bang!"
Kisame easily defeated the remaining two Sand Ninja boys. Apart from not targeting vital points, Kisame's attacks were as brutal as ever. One of the Sand Ninja, named Komaru, had one of his hands crippled by Kisame, while the leader, a boy with a mole, had his puppet, which he had created, smashed to pieces.
His own legs were also brutally broken by Kisame.
Bloodshed was also seen in other places as well.
It's fair to say that, aside from not dying, these three Sunagakure Genin even worse shape than the last. They were incredibly unlucky and had terrible judgment, choosing to run right into the three of them.
It's important to understand that any one of these three individuals, taken individually, is capable of going Jonin; whether they would win or not is another matter entirely.
At least those three are no longer ordinary Genin can be easily fooled.
"Here, this is the code for that squad. See if there's any way to corroborate it."
After rendering the three completely incapacitated, Kisame ignored them and took the scroll containing the team's coded messages from the boy with the mole at the head of the group. He then leisurely returned to Kei Mei Terumi's side and handed the scroll to them.
"Hmm? This is unrelated to us. The initial instructions were different, and we don't need any other codes to verify it. Setting up this code is relatively simple; the general location can be determined. Next, we just need to go to the designated location and further narrow down the area to confirm it!"
Mei Terumi glanced at the Sand Ninja team's code with obvious 'disdain' before speaking with a confident air.
As the top student in the Ninja Academy for many years!
Mei Terumi is quite knowledgeable in this area.
Not to mention, this code wasn't that difficult in Mei Terumi's opinion. After all, it was just a Chunin Ninja Exams. If it were a really complicated high-level code, there wouldn't be enough time. This wasn't just about deciphering the code; it also involved searching and potentially clashing with other teams!
"Oh!"
Kisame raised an eyebrow, then casually tossed the scroll away.
"The direction is roughly around twelve o'clock. Let's set off; it's better to finish the assessment as soon as possible!"
Qi nodded with a light laugh.
"Um!"
Immediately afterwards.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
The three of them leaped into the air and sped off in the chosen direction, leaving only three heavily injured Sand Ninja behind. They didn't kill them, which was already a favor from the three of them. Anyway, other ninjas from Konohagakure would come to clean up the mess later, so there was no need to worry about anything else!
