A single movement from Rong Lin sent dozens of enemies into a state of alarm, each of them terrified that they would be the target of his next strike.
"Hehe..."
Their reaction forced a scoff from Rong Lin. "Is the courage of you Kirigakure ninjas really so pitiful? I only made a single move. Why are you all so terrified of a mere child? You're acting like a bunch of grown men who've lost their stones."
He gestured with his thumb and pinky, indicating a tiny, insignificant amount.
"You bastard!!!"
The crowd of Mist ninjas turned beet red with rage, their eyes burning with a hunger to tear Rong Lin apart. If looks could kill, Rong Lin would have died ten thousand times over by now. In other worlds, that might just be a figure of speech, but in this world, a gaze truly could kill.
"Everyone, stay calm!! He is trying to provoke us!!!"
Among the dozens, one Elite Jonin appeared more composed. He raised a hand, signaling for the others to steady themselves. In his mind, Rong Lin was acting with ulterior motives, trying to goad them into a reckless charge so he could find an opening to break through.
That's right, why should we be angry? the others thought. He definitely wants us to be enraged so he can find a gap in our formation.
"You really think highly of yourselves, don't you?"
Did he really need to provoke them? Rong Lin couldn't help but chuckle at the thought. He shook his head, tilting it slightly to the side.
"Aside from your arrogance and your habit of hiding and scurrying about like rats, I wonder if you Mist ninjas actually know how to do anything else."
With the Kubikiribōchō in hand, Rong Lin's figure vanished from the spot.
Blood sprayed into the air. Several Mist ninjas who had intended to hide within the thick mist for a sneak attack died without ever understanding how he had detected them.
"The massacre begins."
A cold smirk played on his lips. Rong Lin shouldered the Kubikiribōchō and charged directly into the enemy formation. If they wanted to surround him without paying a price, they were sorely mistaken.
He had just used a diversionary tactic against their outpost, and now these fools were trying to use the same trick against him? Sneak attacks? Try again in your next life.
"Stop him!!!"
Seeing Rong Lin carve his way in with the Kubikiribōchō, the Elite Jonin shouted in shock, "Front line, stay together! Don't give him an opening to attack!!!"
"Kill him!!" "Charge! Kill him!!!"
Dozens of Mist ninjas roared, drawing their weapons to strike. Kunai, Shuriken, and Ninja Blades rained toward Rong Lin from all sides.
In this chaotic environment, the basic training Rong Lin had diligently maintained finally bore fruit. His Taijutsu, which had previously been kept under wraps, exploded with full force.
Rong Lin moved like a praying mantis, darting through the enemy's encirclement. Each swing of the Kubikiribōchō brought a geyser of fresh blood.
Without relying on his Time Force, Rong Lin was quickly drenched in red. Without its control, the enemy's blood splattered freely across his body.
Swish—
A head flew into the sky, and Rong Lin was showered in gore. As expected, relying purely on Ninjutsu and his own insight to hack through an encirclement with a blade was the ultimate thrill.
His body trembled slightly. It wasn't from fatigue, fear, or overexertion—it was excitement! He was shaking with pure exhilaration!!
No wonder Madara Uchiha loved charging into an army of thousands, punching, kicking, and seizing the enemies' own weapons for a frenzy of slaughter. It wasn't that he couldn't handle them with Ninjutsu; he simply craved the raw thrill of the melee.
"Kill him!! He's getting tired!!!"
Barely two minutes had passed, and more than thirty men had already fallen by Rong Lin's hand. Seeing him standing still with a trembling body, some Mist ninjas immediately assumed he was exhausted. They roared as they rushed forward to finish him.
Amusingly, in such a chaotic brawl, the enemies were too afraid of friendly fire to use Ninjutsu. If everyone was clumped together, a misplaced technique would lead to a tragedy. The enemies were hesitant, but Rong Lin had no such worries. Hearing them claim he was flagging, he burst into a wild laugh.
Covered in blood, Rong Lin looked like a Vile Asura crawling out of the depths of hell, continuously harvesting lives and watering himself with his enemies' blood.
"Fire Release: Nine Heavens Wild Dance!!!"
With a cold smirk, Rong Lin's fingers moved in a blur of hand seals. An A-rank Ninjutsu was completed in a heartbeat, and a massive burst of fire element erupted.
"Oh no!!!"
The Mist ninjas who had been shouting for his head felt their hearts skip a beat. This wasn't fatigue he had lured them in on purpose so he could slaughter them with Ninjutsu!
More than a dozen massive spheres of fire expanded outward with Rong Lin at the center. This enhanced version of the Phoenix Sage Fire Technique detonated instantly.
"Aaaagh!!!"
The fireballs detonated in unison, looking like giant fireworks through the thick mist. The charging Mist ninjas bore the brunt of the devastation, their screams swallowed by the exploding flames. Even those who had hung back were caught in the shockwaves of the explosions.
Only a few of the strongest ninjas managed to escape the radius of the attack.
"This is impossible!! How can your hand seal speed be that fast?!"
The few survivors cried out in horror as they looked at the carnage around them. A single large-scale attack had wiped out ninety-nine percent of the Mist ninjas. No one could have predicted such seal speed, especially for a technique that was clearly an A-rank jutsu, not some low-level D or C-rank trick.
"Practice more and you can do it too."
The blood on Rong Lin's face had dried quickly under the intense heat of the flames. When he grinned, the dry scabs cracked into small flakes, making him look exceptionally savage.
"Now, it's your turn. Go down and join your friends."
Laughing, Rong Lin activated his Body Flicker Technique, appearing behind them in an instant. Time Force flared, and his blade fell. Two Elite Jonin and one Jonin fell just like that, dying without even understanding what had happened.
