The lightning that had been swirling around his right hand instantly enveloped his entire body. The dazzling light was visible even from the Konoha camp hundreds of meters away! The shrill sound of birds chirping echoed far away.
Chidori Flow!
If there were a fifth enemy, they would have easily been taken out by such a bright target. Unfortunately, there were only four.
Haori extended his left hand straight up and grabbed the enemy's long sword with his bare hand. The stinging pain made him involuntarily furrow his brows.
But by now, the strong electric current was already traveling down the sword and paralyzing the jōnin's body!
The arm that Haori had plunged into the tree suddenly extended a five-meter-long beam of white light, then his arm quickly raised!
The tree and the enemy's corpse that had been hanging on his right hand were cut in half. As he swung his arm, the white light slashed towards the enemy jōnin who was paralyzed in mid-air!
Chidori Spear!
This was a variation of Chidori, with a reduced attack power but an attack range of five meters!
But its power reduction was only compared to the full-power Chidori. If someone was cut by the Chidori Spear, there was no doubt that the flesh and bones would be cut in two!
Haori's original intention was to take out the jōnin. But unfortunately, a jōnin was a jōnin. Even though he was paralyzed, he was still able to forcibly twist his body in mid-air!
Haori's fatal blow only cut off half of his arm!
And as he cut off the arm, Haori could no longer continue to deliver strong electrical currents to the jōnin. Although the numbness still made him uncomfortable, his mobility had recovered. He realized that he could no longer fight after losing an arm. So after landing, he quickly retreated!
In his eyes, Haori was unscathed, so he felt that he couldn't win. But in reality, Haori had already consumed a large amount of chakra.
Advanced jutsu were powerful, but they also consumed a significant amount of chakra.
So Haori no longer had the strength to pursue him.
He dispelled the lightning around his body and dropped the long sword that he had been holding in his left hand. He didn't care that the enemy's half-arm was still hanging on the hilt of the sword.
At this time, Kushina rushed over. Behind her, followed a team of ANBU ninjas.
"How are you, Haori? Where's the enemy?" Kushina saw that Haori was still standing in the woods, and she breathed a sigh of relief before immediately asking.
The smell of blood in the air was even stronger.
After all, three corpses had just been created here, and there was also an armless ninja.
But Haori didn't say anything.
Normally, this is where the protagonist would express their psychological discomfort from their first kill, but Haori didn't have any discomfort.
Ever since he arrived in this world, Haori's education had been about how to kill, how to kill more precisely, and how to kill more efficiently.
Ninjas were killing machines. And what he was doing now was just a practical application of twelve years of learning.
"Are you hurt?" Kushina saw that Haori wasn't responding. Without a word, she began to check his injuries. Fortunately, he was only cut on his arm.
"Whew…" At this point, Haori finally exhaled and responded.
He hadn't spoken before, not because of the discomfort of killing, but because he had overloaded.
Yes, he had overloaded. Just now, during this whole maneuver, he had experienced a maximum overload of +9G. It made him feel very uncomfortable. He didn't feel better until after a while.
The wound on his palm was severe. The enemy's strike had cut through his bone. If he hadn't had lightning release, he would have been disabled.
But the pain wasn't much. This was because Haori had been using lightning release to numb his palm. But this also had drawbacks. Although it didn't hurt, the stimulation from lightning release caused his wound to bleed profusely.
"Three down. The remaining one escaped. I guess I still can't deal with jōnin yet." Haori took off his mask and gave a wry smile. The fight had lasted less than two minutes, but it consumed a lot of his chakra. If that jōnin hadn't chosen to leave and had continued to fight, then Haori the ninja might already be dead.
(ShixT9: You almost wiped out a squad my dude, you're underestimating yourself.)
But his words made the four ANBU ninjas following behind Kushina speechless. As Kushina's guards, they naturally knew that Haori was just a kid who had recently graduated from the ninja academy. A genin felt remorseful that he couldn't take down a jōnin? How could they, seasoned ANBU, live with that?
Was this really a case of new blood replacing the old?
"It's this hand that's hurt." Kushina kept checking Haori's right hand, which was covered in blood. Actually, it was all the enemy's blood. His right hand wasn't hurt.
On the contrary, it was his left hand that was hurt. The hand that had taken the enemy's sword and was still bleeding profusely was his left hand.
The wound was deep, to the bone.
Kushina roughly pulled on Haori's hand. When she saw that he didn't react at all, she immediately understood.
"Dispel your lightning release. Otherwise, you can't be healed."
Haori let out a wry smile, then obediently dispelled the lightning in his hand.
The intense pain began to stimulate his nerves.
Kushina quickly took him back to the camp. They didn't lack medical ninjas here.
After receiving treatment from the medical ninjas, Haori's pain quickly subsided.
Medical ninjutsu was truly a remarkable skill.
While Haori was being treated, the ANBU ninjas had already checked the battlefield. One of them whispered in Kushina's ear, "It's Sunagakure ninjas. Three killed, one escaped with a severed arm…"
His tone was full of astonishment. No one could imagine that a genin, who had just graduated and was experiencing his first real battle, could do this.
Based on the composition of the Sunagakure team, the three who were killed were indeed one chūnin and two genin, as Haori had previously judged. This was already a remarkable achievement. He had also cut off the jōnin's arm.
It could be said that he had fought evenly against four.
Kushina nodded, indicating that she had understood. As she helped to bandage Haori's wound, she said, "Good job, Haori. Not bad for my disciple. But next time you encounter this kind of situation, don't charge forward alone. You were lucky this time…"
Haori gave a wry smile. He didn't expect Kushina to have a side where she liked to lecture.
Since he dared to charge forward alone, he had the confidence to protect himself. But he couldn't explain the reasons for now, so he could only endure Kushina's nagging.
"I just wanted to test my abilities." He could only give this lame excuse.
Kushina glared at Haori, then patted his injured hand.
Huh, it didn't hurt much!
"Okay, how are you feeling?"
Haori tried to clench his fist. The bandage wrapped around his hand made his movements inconvenient. But the stinging pain he expected didn't come. The treatment had already taken effect in just ten minutes.
"It doesn't hurt much anymore. You really are the best, Teacher." Haori praised her, leaving the medical ninjas speechless. It was as if it was Kushina's doing that he had been healed.
"Who asked you? I'm asking about your first real battle experience." Kushina said.
