Chapter -14 - Killing shinobies without looking.
A dangerous smile curled on my lips as I charged towards the remaining 70 shinobi. The intense red aura of Koiken surged around me, amplifying my strength by fifteen times. My movements were swift and precise, as though guided by an unseen force.
I darted through the ranks of shinobi, my speed rendering me nearly invisible. With each step, I turned enemies into mere vegetables, their bodies falling before they even realized what hit them. My blade danced through the air, slicing through flesh and bone with effortless grace.

In the midst of this relentless assault, I felt a sudden tug. A sword had embedded itself into my arm. Without flinching, I yanked the blade free and used it as an extension of my deadly dance. I beheaded one shinobi in a fluid motion, then stabbed another through the chest, yanking the sword out and driving it into a third shinobi's brain. I swiftly severed a fourth's arm, and when the fifth one stabbed me in the abdomen, I barely blinked. Blood flowed from the wound, but my expression remained cold and unyielding.
The shinobi's face turned pale with fear, their eyes wide with terror at my unwavering resolve. I met his gaze, my face a mask of icy determination. Without hesitation, I plunged a kunai into his heart, ending his life instantly.

The sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth shinobi charged simultaneously. I kicked the first in the abdomen, crushing his stomach with a sickening crunch. The second one met my spinning kick, his body twirling in the air before collapsing. I threw a devastating punch at the third, his jaw shattering and his teeth raining down. The fourth shinobi, paralyzed with fear, wet his pants as I approached, his terror palpable.
Meanwhile, the sixteenth through nineteenth shinobi started forming hand signs for a life-force explosion Jutsu, their faces strained with concentration. I dashed towards them, my Great Fireball Jutsu blazing with the power of an A-rank technique. The flames roared forth, obliterating their attack and incinerating the shinobi caught in the blast.

The twenty-first shinobi emerged from the chaos, a formidable Jonin from the Cloud Village. His presence immediately silenced the battlefield. He was known for his lightning release and exceptional intelligence, a true threat.
He began by hurling a kunai towards me. I sidestepped effortlessly, and we engaged in a fierce exchange of blows. For thirty seconds, our bodies collided in a blur of motion. Our strikes were so fast and powerful that sweat began to bead on his forehead, his face a mask of growing fear.
With a final roar, he spat out one word, "Monster."
Before he could react, I sliced through the air with my blade, severing his head from his shoulders in one clean motion. His body fell to the ground, lifeless.

As his body hit the ground, fourteen shinobi charged at me, their weapons glinting in the dim light. Simultaneously, twelve shinobi began forming hand signs for various elemental Jutsu. I unleashed my Water Ball Jutsu, catching the first two in its frosty grip and freezing them solid.
The third and fourth shinobi attacked from behind, but I spun around, crushing their skulls with powerful strikes from my armored fists. The fifth and sixth, who had jumped from above, were similarly dispatched with a single swing of my arm.
The seventh through eleventh shinobi hurled kunai at me, while the remaining twelve unleashed a barrage of elemental Jutsu—fire, water, wind, and lightning—storming towards me with incredible speed and force.
I could see their attacks coming from every direction. Without missing a beat, I summoned a swirling vortex of elemental energy around me, deflecting the kunai and neutralizing the Jutsu with a barrier of pure, unyielding power. Each element clashed with my barrier, creating a dazzling display of light and energy. The ground shook under the strain, and I held my ground against the onslaught, my concentration unbreakable.
As the dust settled and the smoke cleared, the battlefield was littered with the bodies of fallen shinobi. I stood at the center, my breathing heavy but my resolve unshaken. The enemy's numbers had dwindled, but the fight was far from over.
With a fierce glare, I prepared for the next wave of attackers, ready to finish this battle once and for all.
