The Ninja Swordsmen Are Not Popular

"Jinpachi is dead? How could this be? Was he careless?"

Kushimaru couldn't believe that Jinpachi, known as the cruel duo alongside him, was killed by a mere Genin.

"So you still have to be careful. [Kirigakure no Jutsu]!"

Fuguki formed seals and released a thick mist across the sky.

"Do you want to hide your vision to kill? This is indeed Kirigakure's style, but... this trick won't work on me."

Duy raised his hand, and the strong aura around him rose, instantly dispelling the thick mist in the sky.

"What? He actually burst with chakra and dispelled the mist! Who is he?"

Ringo pulled out Kiba and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"I am a Genin of Konoha, an expert in catching cats, Might Duy!" Duy proudly mentioned his position, title, and name.

"Cat catcher?"

"I don't care who you are, just die!"

"[Chōtō Ninpō: Jigumo Nui]."

Nuibari is a very long and slender blade, like an enlarged sharp needle. Its hilt is tied with sharp steel wire.

In the short time when [Kirigakure no Jutsu] was in effect, Kushimaru had completed his setup.

A dense network of steel wires suddenly appeared on the ground, shrinking rapidly and sharp enough to cut an enemy's ankles.

He could see that Duy was a taijutsu ninja, so he thought he could easily take him down as long as his legs were crippled.

However, Duy instantly jumped and leaped onto a nearby tree to avoid the blow.

Akebino Jinin rushed forward with the blunt sword in his hand.

With a giant axe in front and a war hammer behind, this combined attack was enough to smash most of the enemy's weapons and cut the enemy in half while still standing.

Kushimaru threw his needle to attack Duy.

"Youth Straight Punch!"

Duy turned to avoid Jinin's wild attack, then punched Jinin's head, forcibly blowing up Jinin's head.

Due to the inertia, Jinin's body continued to attack downwards, cutting the branch Duy stood on, and then the body fell to the ground.

Duy jumped down from the trunk, avoiding Nuibari in the air, and exploded with astonishing speed, rushing directly towards Kushimaru.

Kushimaru barely reacted, only seeing a red light in front of his eyes, then feeling a wave of hot air, then losing consciousness.

"Youth Kick!"

Duy kicked Kushimaru far away, breaking more than a dozen large trees. Kushimaru's entire body went limp as he lost all his life.

"Don't fight him in close combat!"

Fuguki was so scared that he couldn't understand why this Konoha Genin was so strong.

Hozuki Mangetsu immediately formed hand seals.

"[Suiton: Daibakufu no Jutsu]."

A large stream of water like a waterfall rushed towards Duy, washing him away and slamming him into a tree.

"[Raiton: Rairyu no Tatsumaki]."

Ringo used Kiba to summon thunder, spinning it to create a dragon-shaped thunderbolt that struck Duy.

The combination of lightning and water flow was quite powerful.

Duy was hit, his eyes turning white, and the cracks like blood vessels on his body became more apparent as he howled in pain.

It wasn't that the attacks of these two caused much damage to him in [Hachimon] mode, but the body's own damage in [Hachimon] mode was too great, causing Duy to be struck by these two's attacks.

Duy's right hand and left leg now had broken bones, his body was covered with scars from the hard impact of chakra, and his time was running out.

"It seems my youth is about to end soon..."

After seeing this, Mangetsu thought his chance had come, so he took out Hiramekarei and rushed forward, injecting chakra into it. Hiramekarei actually increased in size, filled with blue chakra visible to the naked eye.

The chakra formed a sharp blade and slashed down, unstoppable.

"Wait!" Fuguki yelled, but it was too late.

"Youth... Headbutt!"

Duy jumped with one leg to deflect Hiramekarei, and Hiramekarei split the ground into a long, narrow, deep crack.

Duy approached Mangetsu and struck him with a headbutt, making Mangetsu's head twist.

Of course, Duy also felt the world spinning, but it was impossible for him to hand over his remaining hands and feet to the last two.

When Fuguki saw this, he decisively fled. Although his body was fat, he was quite agile in escaping.

"Damn, I always use ninjutsu to still have a chance of winning, but I end up like this..."

"...A Genin forced us to look like this. Is this the foundation of Konoha?"

Fuguki thought a lot as he ran for his life.

Ringo, on the other hand, was much simpler. She only thought of the word "escape" in her mind now.

"It's over. If we get caught, I'll be the next to die!"

Duy's recent record was too terrifying, killing four of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist in succession, all within seconds.

This made Ringo so scared of Duy that he ignored that Duy was now exhausted.

Duy jumped on one leg, and his speed became slower and slower. He was gradually thrown off by Fuguki and Ringo.

As the two were rejoicing, they suddenly found a figure blocking the road ahead of them.

"Get out of the way!"

Seeing the man in front of her not moving, Ringo took decisive action.

"[Raiton: Raikyū]."

The tip of Kiba released a lightning ball to attack the person in front of her, but it seemed to have no effect.

"It's also an enemy... Quickly deal with him!"

Fuguki pulled out Samehada, rushed forward, and slashed with his sword, but strangely the blade stopped.

"Samehada, what are you doing?!"

Samehada was different from other ninja swords; it was a living weapon with self-awareness. Its body was covered with spikes and could absorb the enemy's chakra to eat.

So when Fuguki saw Samehada not hitting, he thought it was Samehada suddenly rebelling.

Samehada, which hadn't eaten chakra and was inexplicably scolded, became angry, extending its spikes and stabbing Fuguki's hand, forcing him to let go.

Fuguki retreated a few steps, extending his hand, and his long hair instantly hardened and fell out.

Countless hair-like needles shot out, but strangely they all stopped in the air.

Needless to say, the person in front of them was Shintaro.

When Fuguki and Ringo saw this, they realized that they might not be the opponent of the other party, so they decided to flee.

Then, both of them found that they could no longer run and were instead pulled towards Shintaro.

*BAM* *BAM*

Two punches, Chakra and Cursed Energy wrapped in Shintaro's fists, were quite uncomfortable.

Fuguki resolutely extended his long hair to protect himself. Ringo crossed her swords and summoned thunder to cover her body.

However, Shintaro extended both hands simultaneously and aimed at both of them with two fingers.

"[Cursed Technique Reversal: Red]."

The defenses they had painstakingly built shattered instantly, and they were thrown into the forest.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were destroyed.
