Baki shouted loudly, brandishing his Kunai with both hands, and charged swiftly towards Shinsei.
Two Kunai were thrust out alternately in a cross pattern. Seeing this, Shinsei leaned back and kicked Baki's chin with his right foot.
Baki dodged to the side, and then thrust his right-hand Kunai toward Shinsei's abdomen.
Shinsei instantly steadied himself, a faint crackling of lightning emanating from his body. Stimulated by the power of Lightning Release, his speed suddenly increased.
He grabbed Baki's right hand and suddenly unleashed his Chakra Enhanced Strength Technique, swinging Baki up and throwing him into the air. The immense force rendered Baki unable to move.
With a "bang," Baki's body slid across the sand until it stopped in front of Chiyo.
Baki, his face flushed, got up from the ground. The whispers of the surrounding villagers made him feel extremely ashamed, and he wished he could cover the other half of his face as well.
Shinsei's lips curled slightly upward. He was determined to fight three against one, while Baki, a top-ranked fighter in Sunagakure, dared to try to defeat him with Kunai.
Just like Danzo's Kunai piercing Susanoo, it's really quite laughable.
Chiyo looked at Baki, who had stood up again, and sighed helplessly. She stretched out her left hand, and five Chakra Threads connected to Baki's body.
" Lord Shinsei, we're about to go." A glint of light flashed in Chiyo's cloudy eyes.
Baki suddenly sprang up, his speed completely different from before, sweeping towards Shinsei like a whirlwind. The five white-robed puppets also surrounded him, trapping Shinsei in the middle.
Baki waved his hands, unleashing Wind Release: Wind Blade. Strands of Wind Release Chakra sliced through the air, hurtling towards Shinsei.
Shinsei was about to get up and dodge, sand suddenly surged up from the ground and entangled his legs.
That makes it more interesting; otherwise, winning would be too boring.
Shinsei suddenly exerted Superhuman Strength with both legs, using superhuman strength to kick away and scatter the sand that was enveloping his legs. The sand, still carrying momentum, flew towards Baki.
Baki nimbly flipped to dodge, continuously firing Wind Blade with both hands.
Shinsei's hands were enveloped in a large amount of Chakra, which he used to disperse the incoming Wind Blade one by one.
Although his own Chakra Enhanced Strength Technique couldn't be executed with the same precision as his teacher's, he could make up for some of the shortcomings by having a large amount of Chakra.
At that moment, a white puppet, wielding a rapidly spinning, buzzing flywheel, slashed towards Shinsei.
Shinsei kicked away the sand tangled under his feet, pushed off with his right foot, and instantly flashed behind the puppet, grabbed its body, and threw it towards the oncoming flying wheel.
The flywheel showed no mercy, slicing the puppet in two.
A massive amount of sand rolled towards Shinsei like surging ocean waves.
He took a deep breath, his Chakra contracted, and then he threw a punch at the sand wave.
The sand waves seemed to have hit a bomb, shattered by the immense force, and Shinsei burst out from within.
Four white puppets surrounded them from four directions. Shinsei took the initiative, grabbing the hands of one of the puppets and tearing off the metal steel blades from its arms. With two clangs, Shinsei used the metal steel blades to shatter the Wind Blade and then sliced the body of another puppet to pieces.
The large amount of sand floating in the air coalesced into handfuls of sand Kunai.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh," the sand Kunai down like a torrential downpour, leaving Shinsei nowhere to hide. He could only run away at supersonic speed.
A massive sand wall stretched out in front of them, with sharp sand spikes rising from it. Countless sand spikes also emerged from beneath their feet, like gaping maws ready to devour Shinsei.
Shinsei Hand Seals with both hands.
Water Release · Water Formation Wall!
A massive waterspout spun and rose from the ground, the rapid flow of water rubbing against the sand and producing a sharp sound.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Shinsei leaped out of the encirclement and came behind Baki. He extended two fingers with his left hand, and a blue Chakra sword extended out.
Shinsei swung his left arm, severing all the Chakra Threads on Baki's body with his longsword.
Baki quickly waved his hands, Wind Release Chakra condensed into Wind Blade in his hands, attacking Shinsei once again.
Although Shinsei doesn't Sharingan, his eyesight is excellent. He accurately judges the trajectory of the Wind Blade by observing the distortion of the air and easily dodges them.
Three white puppets jumped out from beside Chiyo, two below and one above. All three puppets opened their mouths at the same time, revealing the words "Kōbō Shō" (弘法僧).
The puppet forms hand Hand Seals.
Three Treasures Vacuum Crushing!
A powerful suction force emanated from the puppet. Shinsei quickly pushed off the ground with his feet, sinking his feet into the sand to stabilize himself. The sand rose up from the ground, trapping his body firmly.
A massive amount of sand rose from the ground, completely enveloping Shinsei.
Gaara, standing to the side, extended his right hand towards Shinsei.
Sand Burial!
The immense force crushed the trapped Shinsei to pieces.
" Shinsei!" Hinata cried out anxiously, her eyes filled with tears.
Kurenai Yuhi pressed Hinata's shoulder tightly, signaling her not to rush. She didn't believe that Shinsei, whom Tsunade had sent to demonstrate her strength, would be defeated so easily.
Gaara frowned, but Shinsei's flesh and blood were nowhere to be seen on the field.
With a "bang".
White smoke billowed from a shattered puppet arm, which then transformed into Shinsei and appeared on the scene.
Shinsei clapped his hands and laughed, "Being able to take down one of my Shadow Clone is pretty good. Looks like I'll have to get serious."
It wasn't that Shinsei was arrogant; of the three opponents before him, Baki was insignificant, Chiyo's puppets could only do so much harm if she didn't use poison, and Gaara, the only one who posed a threat, had a major flaw in his Ninjutsu: the speed of his sand could not keep up with the speed of his own body.
As for dealing with Gaara, Shinsei also has his expertise in Water Release: if he wets the sand on the field, Gaara's sand speed will be reduced.
However, Shinsei's mission is not simply to defeat the enemy, but to demonstrate military might and show the Sunagakure the difference in strength between the two sides, thereby dispelling their thoughts of resistance.
Chiyo manipulated Chakra Threads to reassemble the shattered puppet.
Her eyes were lifeless, and she said in a heavy tone, " Lord Shinsei truly deserves to be called a genius rarely seen in the Shinobi World in recent years. By all accounts, Sunagakure should admit defeat and preserve its dignity."
Chiyo sighed and continued, "For the sake of the village, Lord Shinsei, please allow us to make one last stand."
Looking at the elderly Chiyo, Shinsei suddenly felt like he had become the villain, and he developed some respect for the old woman.
" Chiyo, I understand your concern for Sunagakure, so please don't hold back."
Shinsei's black Chakra surged from all his acupoints, as if he were covered in a layer of armor.
Unfortunately, without the secret Lightning Release Chakra Mode of the Kumogakure as a reference, Shinsei's Storm Release Armor is merely a facade.
Shinsei took the lead, moving at incredible speed towards the three opponents.
Ten white puppets stood in a crisscrossing formation in front of him. Shinsei, like a fluttering butterfly, weaved through the gaps between the puppets.
The blue Chakra Storm Sword between his two fingers swung across, cleaving the Storm Sword wall in two from top to bottom.
The Storm Sword exploded, blasting a gap in the sand wall.
Regardless of the various traps or sand Kunai that attacked, Shinsei easily dodged them all thanks to his speed.
Gaara's Ninjutsu couldn't keep up with Shinsei's speed at all; he didn't understand how he could defeat him.
Compared to his time in Konoha, Shinsei had made tremendous progress, and a sense of frustration gripped Gaara's heart.
"Hey, kid," a voice echoed in Gaara's mind, "Do you want to defeat him?"
This is the sound of One-Tail.
