The Strength of Konoha Genin

Clap!

In a deserted corner, a transformed Anbu member, now disguised as a mask-wearing man, patted his hands. He had left behind several Flying Thunder God markings.

"Alright, I've left enough markings, and with three more Flying Thunder God kunai, it should be sufficient."

The disguised Anbu member pondered for a moment and took out a soldier pill, quickly restoring his depleted chakra.

"Now, it's time for me to shine!"

He flexed his muscles, feeling a hidden excitement within. As someone who had lived in a modern city in his past life, engaging in real combat with blades and weapons was an entirely new experience for him.

Recalling the intense battle with Onoki, although it was heart-pounding, it was also exhilarating, just thinking about it sent shivers down his spine.

Whoosh!

He activated the Body Flicker Technique, turning into a streak of light and disappearing instantly.

...

At the entrance of the Ninja Academy.

Clang clang clang!

The sound of blades clashing and flesh being cut rang out as several figures kept exchanging blows.

After a fierce fight, the Anbu members from Iwagakure had been eliminated by the Konoha ninjas.

However, the Iwagakure ninjas were cunning. They employed the Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet Technique (Doton: Doryūdan) to move stealthily underground, allowing them to encircle the Konoha ninjas and concentrate their strength to eliminate them one by one.

Afterward, they utilized other Earth Release techniques to conceal their presence.

This tactic was shameless but effective. Konoha was currently weak in defensive forces, and the ninjas were scattered across the village, engaging in individual battles. The chaos within the village prevented them from coordinating with each other effectively.

Many Konoha ninjas had already been eliminated using this method by the Iwagakure forces.

"Taichi, sense if there are any other Konoha ninjas nearby."

The leader of the Anbu team, Wataro, instructed the sensor ninja in the group.

Taichi closed his eyes and used his sensory abilities. "There are four Anbu ninjas about eight hundred meters southeast of here. We can use the established tactics to take them out... wait, there's another ninja approaching. Based on the chakra levels I sense, it's a Genin."

"Genin..."

Wataro and his team looked at each other, showing a hint of amusement. All four of them were highly skilled and coordinated upper-level Anbu members. They had faced countless life-and-death battles together and were formidable fighters. Ordinary Genin wouldn't stand a chance against them.

A Genin was like an ant to them.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, they saw a Genin wearing sunglasses appear in front of them.

Without a doubt, it was Ryujin.

"Taichi, don't waste your time. Kill him immediately and move to the next location," Wataro casually ordered Taichi.

Dealing with a mere Genin was a piece of cake for them, even for a sensor-type ninja like Taichi.

"Understood!"

Taichi responded and quickly pulled out several kunai. Using the Body Flicker Technique, he appeared right in front of Ryujin.

Utilizing his upper-level ninja speed, he launched a merciless attack against Ryujin.

"Die!"

Ryujin smirked, and with a thought, he used the Asura Path's ability. Two missiles were instantly launched at Taichi.

At such close range, the missiles reached their target in the blink of an eye.

Taichi didn't even have time to react. He instinctively waved his hand and used his kunai to block the missiles.

Boom!

In the violent explosion, Taichi was engulfed in a wave of heat, and then his body was blown into several pieces, scattered in all directions.

Silence followed, and the scene was eerily quiet.

Wataro and his team were all stunned. They had thought that killing a Genin would be effortless and would not require any effort.

However, the situation had completely turned around. The Genin had effortlessly killed Taichi.

What was that powerful explosion? What kind of technique did the Genin use?

The three Anbu members were now extremely cautious, no longer daring to underestimate Ryujin.

"Earth Release: Earth Spikes!"

Wataro was the first to react. He quickly formed hand seals, and sharp earth spikes emerged around Ryujin, blocking his retreat and movement routes.

For ordinary ninjas, it would be difficult to escape.

"Flying Thunder God!"

But this was not a problem for Ryujin. He calmly activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and instantly teleported to a different location.

"Such speed!"

Wataro and his team were surprised again. Ryujin's instantaneous movement was so fast that they couldn't even track his trajectory.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, they saw Ryujin reappear.

Just like before, Ryujin's disappearance was instantaneous, and his reappearance left them puzzled, unable to figure out his location.

"Animal Path!"

Ryujin didn't waste time and immediately used the Animal Path's ability, summoning a group of animal-like creatures. These creatures had the Rinnegan in their eyes, similar to Outer Path constructs, and they didn't require individual capture. Ryujin could summon them anywhere using Rinnegan's ability.

"This guy... actually has so many summonses?"

Wataro and his team were once again surprised. It was common for ninjas to have summoning contracts, but usually, they would only have one summon at most. However, Ryujin had a whole group of them.

These creatures were not as powerful as Pain's summons, but they were enough to create chaos and distract the enemy.

"Earth Release: Earth Flow Spears!"

Wataro reacted quickly, forming hand seals and creating sharp spears around Ryujin to pin him down.

However, Ryujin was prepared. He used the Flying Thunder God again, moving to a new location.

"Enough of this!"

Ryujin smiled coldly and immediately activated the Human Path's ability, absorbing the chakra from several of his animal summons, and replenishing his own chakra.

While the creatures had limited chakra, Ryujin could use them as a chakra source when needed.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the summoned creatures attacked Wataro and his team, Ryujin continued to bombard them with missiles, putting them in an extremely difficult and dangerous situation.

Facing Ryujin, who was a genius with the Rinnegan and had mastered multiple Paths, Wataro and his team found themselves struggling in a life-and-death battle.

As for counterattacking?

Sorry, with the Flying Thunder God, Ryujin was virtually untouchable.
