Chapter 48: Cruel World (Edited)

Buzz!!!

It was not only the assassin's expression that froze, but also his Funeral Dance.

The cold blue light, which looked like a raging storm, possessing enough power to cut a man to pieces, also froze in that instant.

It was as if time had stopped.

Everything was frozen in place.

The reason behind it was the fist that struck in the direction of the assassin.

His technique was an inch away from Naito's fist.

But it stopped there, right in front of the cracks that resembled a broken mirror in all directions, spreading out like a spider web.

However, the cracks looked terrifying, as it seemed like space had been shattered.

Crack!!!

A sound as if a surface made of ice had cracked, breaking the silence and awakening the stunned assassin, was heard.

A look of horror finally appeared on the assassin's face, "Oh, no!"

Faced with Naito's terrifying blow, the assassin could only mobilize all his chakra and add it to his sword technique.

The two forces collided harshly and stopped momentarily.

But the assassin's sword was stopped an inch in front of Naito's fist.

He couldn't move another inch!

In the next moment, Naito's shockwave erupted and overwhelmed everything.

The chakra and blade of the assassin's sword even seemed to distort in a strange and terrifying way.

No matter how strong the Funeral Dance was, even if it was strong enough to kill Naito, it can do nothing if it doesn't reach its target.

The power of his Jutsu was less than an A-Rank Jutsu, and the power of a ranged attack was even less than a high-level B-Rank Jutsu.

At best, the power of his Jutsu was at the level of a mid-level B-Rank Jutsu.

But that wasn't enough to overwhelm Naito's fist!

Crack!!!

Finally, the Funeral Dance was crushed by Naito's frontal strike!

Even his sword couldn't withstand the power of the shockwave and suddenly shattered into several fragments.

Boom!!!

The shockwave completely enveloped the assassin.

Even at the last moment, the assassin tried to recoil in horror, but could not avoid being hit by the shockwave.

This time, the shockwave was not like the simple punch Naito used earlier.

This punch was a combination of the Brutal Force Jutsu and the shockwave!

In fact, although the Funeral Dance weakened him, but it didn't stop him!

Whoosh!!!

The moment the Funeral Dance was destroyed, the assassin, who had been hit by Naito's new Jutsu, was sent flying through the air.

He crashed hard into the ground and spat blood from his mouth.

This time it was no light damage.

The assassin did not have much physical endurance, due to the nature of his missions.

His body strength was worse than that of an average Chuunin.

While he had been injured before when he used all his skills to avoid Naito's blow, this time, because he was unable to avoid the blow head-on, he was seriously injured.

Although he was not yet dead, he lost the ability to fight.

Blood kept gushing from the corners of the assassin's mouth as he gritted his teeth, holding back the excruciating pain coming from all over his body, and tried to roll over and escape.

But Naito would not give him that chance.

Even if he let him go, there was no chance of him escaping from the Anbu.

Besides... This guy tried to kill him!

For those people who wanted to kill him, Naito will definitely show no mercy to them!

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, Naito caught up with the assassin.

To capture him alive, Naito didn't use the shockwaves again, but fiercely kicked him instead.

Konoha Senpū!

Auge!

Due to the assassin's injuries, he couldn't dodge it at all and was kicked directly by Naito.

Crack!!! Crack!!!!

For a moment, the assassin heard his own bones break one by one and then once again crashed into the ground.

He fell a distance away and then vomited blood again.

The assassin wasn't dead yet, he was struggling to lift his head but couldn't do it.

He gritted his teeth, a hint of disbelief and resignation in his eyes.

He hadn't expected Naito to be so strong!

Strong enough to destroy his Funeral Dance with a single blow!

A misstep, and it was only a misstep.

The assassin's mind was filled with hatred, but the hatred was not directed at Naito, but at the person who gave him the information about the mission.

He wanted to grab his neck and ask him if he was an idiot.

The information was so inaccurate!

It was simply outrageous.

In the information he received, there were no records or information about the fight he had with Uchiha Samui, because the information was hidden by Hiruzen and the Uchiha Clan.

But the information he had said that Naito was a genius, but he didn't grow up yet, and was below the level of a Chuunin.

The assassin wanted to kill the guy who gave him this information just because of the words 'Genin level strength!'

Naito calmly looked at the assassin, he didn't want to kill him, it was better if he kept him alive so that Konoha could interrogate him.

However, that didn't go as he had hoped, as the assassin knew he had to die.

With a slight flick of his tongue, he bit a poison pill in his mouth and died.

In the end, being caught is worse than death.

Watching this scene, Naito felt complicated emotions.

This was the ninja world.

The cruel world of ninjas

Whoosh!

In the next moment, several Anbus finally appeared in the distance, approaching Naito in a few blinks of an eye.

After they noticed the assassin's corpse, some of them were a bit surprised.

"Is he dead already?"

"He looks like a Kirigakure ninja, but don't rule out the possibility of being from another village."

"Bring the corpse for a detailed investigation."

In the process, many of them did not speak to Naito, but they could not hide their surprise.

An assassin sneaked into Konoha and managed to find his target and attack him, this was already something unbelievable.

What was even more unbelievable was that Naito was not killed by that assassin, but also managed to defend himself and kill him!

And the most shocking thing was that Naito didn't even seem to be hurt!

That's how strong a genius is!?

They looked at him wondering, if he was their age and faced the same circumstance, would they survive this murder?

Definitely not.

Let alone survive without even getting hurt.

They continued to stare at each other until one of them spoke, "Naito, you're coming with us to the Anbu department to report the details of the situation."

"Good," Naito nodded his head, as his eyes flashed coldly.

Danzo, the Uchiha Clan... There was no doubt that one of them helped the assassin enter the village and have a chance to eliminate him.

It was impossible to know which one of them it was.

Finally, Naito took a deep breath.

He needed to be more cautious, this ninja world was crueler and darker than he had imagined!
