Chapter 11
Can you stop it?
What kind of ninja dies the fastest in war?
It's someone who can't see themselves clearly.
They are people who overestimate their abilities and rush ahead too quickly.
Clearly, in the eyes of these intruders, Yang Xiang was just an arrogant brat who didn't know his place.
Seeing that the only adult, Uchiha Kagami, was also arriving from behind, they became even more certain of their judgment.
A foolish rookie who will drag his teammates down.
However, when their gazes fell upon Uchiha Kagami's eyes, a commotion still arose within the group.
"Those eyes..."
"It's an Uchiha! An Uchiha with three tomoe!"
"What's there to be afraid of! He's just an Uchiha with three brats, let's take him down!"
Looking around, and realizing that they had an overwhelming numerical advantage, the hearts of the opposing ninjas, who had been stunned by the Sharingan, began to stir again.
"There are only four of them. Even if they're strong, how could they possibly defeat so many of us?"
At this moment, the treetops were almost entirely filled with enemies.
Mikoto quickly scanned the area, and cold sweat instantly slid down her forehead.
There were far more than we had just seen; there were nearly forty people.
This is already the size of a vanguard force!
"Foolish Konoha ninjas, today I'll use you as my snacks!"
Seeing that all their companions had arrived, the group of ninjas became even more arrogant.
Already frustrated by the infiltration missions, he was eager to vent his frustration with a satisfying massacre.
The blood of Konoha ninjas was undoubtedly the most exciting appetizer for them at this moment.
"So you're the Uchiha, huh?!"
Two ninjas positioned at the back suddenly attacked Uchiha Kagami from the left and right.
But they had only rushed halfway when they were intercepted in mid-air by a blue figure.
Chakra Burst Mode.
This is a close-combat technique that can only be used by those with the Senju clan's formidable physical abilities and abundant chakra.
He precisely controlled his chakra, concentrating it throughout his body until it was completely covered, and then unleashed a powerful burst of energy.
Ding!Ding!
With two crisp sounds, the kunai pierced Yang Xiang's chakra cloak, unable to advance an inch.
Yang Xiang never neglected his ninja training because of the cultivation system. He practiced his clan's secret techniques, especially chakra bursts, with great diligence.
The two ninjas gritted their teeth and exerted all their strength, but the kunai remained completely still.
Unable to advance, unable to retreat.
Their wrists were firmly gripped by Yang Xiang's iron-like hands.
For a moment, the two were like prey stuck in a washing machine, completely helpless and unable to move.
Regardless of his two constipated-looking enemies, Yang Xiang wasn't going to wait for freefall.
Click!Click!
A sickening cracking sound rang out as the two men's arms and legs were violently broken.
Two more heavy kicks followed, sending them back the way they came.
The screams abruptly stopped.
Two bodies were embedded deep into the tree trunk behind them like wooden stakes, blood splattered everywhere, they became one with the tree, and there was no more life.
This time, they're truly stuck and will never be able to get out.
The sudden and brutal deaths of their two companions left the surrounding ninjas momentarily stunned, their faces showing disbelief.
This plot... isn't right, is it?
It shouldn't be that two people go up, then there's a chaotic brawl, and then everyone starts a free-for-all.
Are you going to exchange a few ninjutsu, then seize an opening in the Konoha kid's defenses and slit his throat?
Are my teammates really that useless?
...
Meanwhile, the three people standing behind Yang Xiang watched him swiftly and decisively eliminate two enemies, their faces filled with shock.
"So this is... a taijutsu-type ninja?"
Uchiha Kagami silently put down the kunai he had just raised, wondering: Why is this newly graduated Senju genin reacting faster than me, an elite jonin?
Is this a newly graduated ninja?
Are all the Senju clan's taijutsu ninjas this strong?
So, his family has been fighting this monster relentlessly ever since?
Are those old guys in the family who shout every day really that strong?
...
While everyone was lost in thought, Yang Xiang had already landed lightly back on a tree branch, his expression calm.
[Host detected to have achieved first kill, reaching the 'coming-of-age' milestone.]
[Reward being distributed: Spiritual Energy Reserves +2]
The familiar system notification sound rang in my ears.
Unlike previous rewards of cultivation techniques and items, this time the progress of kills brings a direct numerical increase.
Feeling his depleted spiritual energy instantly replenished and even increase, a hint of excitement flashed in Yang Xiang's eyes.
Numerical rewards are great!
With great force, bricks fly; just go all out!
He wasn't a bloodthirsty person to begin with, but in this wretched place of the ninja world, coupled with the system's machinations...
Then we have no choice but to strike hard.
That's why they say Longya was able to become the leader of this group of ninjas; he had guts.
Looking around at the hesitant crowd caused by Yang Xiang's swift kill, he shouted:
"What's there to be afraid of! He's just a kid, how could he possibly kill us all?!"
"Attack together! Let's show Konoha what we're made of!"
Ninjas are ultimately tools for carrying out missions.
No matter how bad their personality is, very few people will back down during a mission.
So after getting them to hide their unease, they quickly formed an encirclement and used their respective methods to prepare for a group beating of Yang Xiang and his companions.
Those present are all ninjas; how many deaths have they seen?
Two useless people died.
Even if all his teammates were killed and he himself lost all his limbs, Longya would never utter a sound.
He smiled dismissively and charged towards Yang Xiang first.
Yang Xiang frowned slightly.
What country are these ninjas from? They're so unruly.
Shouldn't they introduce themselves, exchange compliments, and then compare their hand seal speed?
The program has stopped running, right?
Okay. Let's start dancing then!
More than thirty ninjas attacked simultaneously, unleashing a barrage of ninjutsu and ninja tools.
Uchiha Kagami's three tomoe spun, and the hand seals for the Great Fireball Technique were already in place.
First, intercept one side of the attack, then take advantage of the chaos to create distance and maneuver around the enemy.
He then gestured for his three-man squad to retreat.
In this situation, neither Mikoto nor Murakumo could be of much help.
Si—Wei—Shen—Hai…
Before he could finish forming the hand seals, a streak of pale golden lightning exploded in mid-air!
Shatter the darkness with thunder!
Golden light pierced the darkness of the forest, leaping rapidly through the crowd, with a blue halo following closely behind.
In less than three breaths, he had already circled the field several times.
A pungent smell of burnt meat wafted through the air and was inhaled by Uchiha Kagami.
Talisman Treasure: Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword!
The weapon that was flying freely in the air just now was the killing weapon that Yang Xiang had acquired some time ago.
A one-time talisman that can only be crafted by cultivators at the Core Formation stage or above, by drawing upon the power of their own magical treasures.
Even in the world of cultivation, it is the strongest combat tool below the Core Formation stage.
Yang Xiang doesn't have the habit of hoarding rats; good things are meant to be used.
Therefore, it was decisively brought out.
This sword strike of mine is the culmination of three hundred years of internal energy!
Can you stop them?
Severed limbs and broken legs flew down, their wounds cut open and then burned to charcoal by the following lightning.
Several others burst into brilliant fireworks in the air, scattering in all directions.
