Chapter 187: This... Is a Leaf Village Genin?
As Sasuke stopped and stood at the entrance of the camp.
The surrounding ninjas from the Land of Rivers retreated several steps backward in fear.
One by one, they looked on in shock and disbelief,
Staring at the figure lying on the ground at Sasuke's feet.
The captain, who had been instantly killed with a single strike, and the seven or eight comrades taken out by hidden weapons.
The opponent!
He was just a young ninja, yet who could have imagined that this young ninja would be so fierce!
Right from the start, he had killed so many of them.
Who could have seen this coming?
"Kid... you... who are you?"
Another captain among the crowd, staring at Sasuke, began to break into a cold sweat.
Clearly, they had the numerical advantage, and Sasuke should have been the one afraid.
But Sasuke's intimidating entrance had already unsettled these ninjas.
"Who am I?"
"Just a Genin!"
Genin...?
A Genin?
With such terrifying combat power, you're claiming to be a Genin?
What a joke!
"A Genin?"
"A Genin with this level of strength so this is the power of the Five Great Nations' ninjas?"
"No wonder we've never been able to stand against the Five Great Nations. Just one Genin from their side, and..."
As fear spread among the group, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Hmph! Whether you're a Genin or a Jonin!"
"Kid, charging in alone shows your bravery, but... you'll die a miserable death!"
On a massive boulder within the camp, a burly ninja stood, arms crossed, staring at Sasuke at the entrance.
"Even the Hokage would face death when outnumbered. You're just a little Leaf Village Genin!"
"Everyone, stay sharp. Let's see how long he can last!"
This man was the leader of the ninjas from the Land of Rivers.
Judging by his presence, he wasn't exactly weak.
Stronger than most Leaf Village Jonin.
But to Sasuke, he was no different from the rest of the riffraff below!
"Attack! We outnumber him; are we really afraid of a little brat?"
"Use ninjutsu to wear down his chakra first!"
At the leader's command, rows of ninjas stepped forward, regaining their composure.
Their opponent was just a kid.
Even if his taijutsu was strong, they'd exhaust his chakra first with ninjutsu.
A mere child with strong taijutsu would surely...
"Kid, don't say we're bullying you there's no fairness in war!"
"Use Fire Release to burn him to ashes!"
A row of ninjas swiftly formed hand seals, with ten Fire Release users simultaneously preparing their jutsu.
"Not good!"
Shikamaru felt a sense of impending disaster. Sasuke's taijutsu prowess was undeniable, but these opponents were shameless.
To take on a single Genin, a mere child, they joined forces to unleash a combined ninjutsu attack.
"Hurry, dodge!" Ino said worriedly.
Chōji grew anxious as well. "He can't dodge that so many ninjas using jutsu together. The range is too wide; there's no time..."
"But Senju, he..."
Mid-sentence, they suddenly saw Sasuke raise his hands to form seals.
Seeing this movement, Shikamaru's heart leapt into his throat.
One person, challenging ten others in a ninjutsu clash!
No matter how you looked at it, it was impossible for him to prevail. After all, the combined power of so many casting the same type of ninjutsu...
"Fire Release~..." ×10!
Ten streams of fire surged forth. Though these ninjas were from a small nation, the Land of Rivers, their ninjutsu wasn't lacking in power!
The combined flames created a terrifying wave of fire, ferociously sweeping toward Sasuke.
The high-temperature flames burned the air, creating intense heatwaves that spread even before the fire reached.
At that moment, the arriving Leaf Village ninjas saw what was unfolding Sasuke about to be consumed by flames.
They sighed helplessly, lamenting their tardiness.
The Jonin captain stared at Sasuke from dozens of meters away. At that distance, he was powerless.
All he could do was watch...
"Water Release~ Suiton Suijinchū!!!"
As Sasuke brought his hands together, in front of the oncoming flames, droplets of water appeared out of thin air, quickly rising.
In an instant, they formed a water column.
It shot into the sky.
A deafening roar exploded.
The swirling water spread out, forming a massive water wall that blocked the flames.
Boom!!
The water surged, and Sasuke's eyes narrowed slightly.
Releasing a burst of chakra, the intense chakra fluctuations shook the air.
Sasuke then controlled the water, creating a vortex that engulfed the flames.
The torrent shot straight toward the Land of Rivers' camp.
The ninjas from the Land of Rivers stared wide-eyed as the dark shadow in the sky gradually expanded.
In a blink, it was about to cover most of their camp.
Even the leader couldn't remain calm.
"This..."
A mere kid how could he possess such terrifying chakra reserves?
Facing a combined Fire Release attack from their ninjas, he could not only suppress it with Suiton but even retaliate.
Not just suppress it this was aimed at drowning their entire force!
The Leaf Village!
Was it truly this powerful?
Even a Genin could be this monstrous?
Was he even human?
Boom! Buzz!
With the resounding crashes, the Leaf Village Jonin captain stood stunned.
A mere kid, with a single Water Release jutsu!
He flooded over half of the Land of Rivers' camp. The devastating impact nearly obliterated the camp, leaving torrents of water tossing countless ninjas into the waves with relentless force.
Boom, boom, boom!
Amidst the violent waves, a boulder suddenly rose.
The leader of the Land of Rivers' ninjas stood on the stone, his face grim as he surveyed the surroundings. In the blink of an eye, his ninja force was more than half wiped out.
As he struggled with what to do next, a sudden splash erupted from the turbulent waters below.
Sasuke emerged from the water like a fish.
"Water Release~ Exploding Water Colliding Wave..."
This jutsu allowed the user to freely traverse the water.
"Too weak!"
"How boring..."
Sasuke's voice echoed, and as the leader turned his head, he couldn't even catch a glimpse of Sasuke's shadow.
The Kusanagi Sword slashed across his neck.
In the next instant...
The bloodied head flew into the air.
It spun continuously, scattering blood like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, splashing in all directions...
The leader of the Land of Rivers dead!!!
