"Bounty ninja?" Seiryū looked over with crimson eyes, scanning the people on that side. He had already guessed their identities.
Bounty ninja.
They were not rare in the Ninja World. Some small nations in the Ninja World were even established by bounty ninja.
Taking a step forward, Seiryū arrived there, standing in midair and looking down at everyone below.
He curled his lips. "Let me ask you a question. Do you agree with my ideas, and will you follow my will?"
"Hmm?"
Many people were dumbfounded by Seiryū's sudden question.
What did the other party mean by that?
Why couldn't they understand?
A bounty ninja with Jonin-level strength, who was once a rogue ninja from a small Ninja Village, asked solemnly, "What do you mean by that?"
As he spoke, he was extremely vigilant.
The impact of that ninjutsu from just a moment ago had been huge.
Was this guy really only eleven or twelve years old?
And what was with this appearance?
How could a human look like that?
Seiryū curled his lips and explained kindly, "Agree with my idea of polygamy. This Ninja World needs to change, and I need everyone to agree with my ideas!"
"?"
Once these words were spoken, everyone present became even more dumbfounded.
What was this?
Was this guy crazy?
"Sigh, you people are too stubborn. It's one thing to not agree with my ideas, but you also show malice toward me. You need to be destroyed as well."
Seiryū sighed and shook his head.
Everyone was so stubborn.
They did not agree with his ideas and still showed malice toward him.
Forget it.
Then he would destroy them!
'Hum, hum, hum.'
Golden Chains extended from his back, and dark red Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan lit up at their tips.
Dozens of dark red chakra spheres, each tens of meters wide, blotted out the sky.
The visual impact was absolutely shocking.
The bounty Jonin who had spoken earlier broke out in a cold sweat, and he swallowed hard before hurriedly saying, "Wait, wait a minute, I. I agree with your ideas!"
Damn it, he was sure now.
The guy in front of him was definitely a lunatic.
Destroyed if you didn't agree?
But what was the point of agreeing with polygamy!?
However, the dark red chakra spheres above his head made him lose any thought of resisting.
A monster with terrifying strength.
Forget it.
Then he would submit to him!
There were quite a few people who thought this way.
Bounty ninja valued money over their lives, but they were not idiots.
They knew exactly what to do and when.
Many people began to echo him.
At the same time, they were already thinking about leaving.
They had intended to fish in troubled waters and assassinate him when the chance came, but they were discovered as soon as they approached.
"Really? Good, someone who agrees with my ideas has finally appeared!"
After hearing this, Seiryū seemed somewhat happy.
Hard work would eventually be rewarded.
Not everyone was so stubborn after all.
There were still people who agreed with his ideas.
The Ninja World needed to change, and it would start little by little.
A single spark could start a wildfire, and eventually, the entire Ninja World would agree with his ideas and follow his will!
Seiryū was in a great mood.
He looked at those who agreed with his ideas and waved his hand with the air of a leader. "Then show me your sincerity!"
"We have a common goal, a common direction, and all of it is to change this Ninja World!"
"Now, go and kill the Third Raikage, and make all the Kumogakure shinobi agree with our ideas!"
"???"
Once these words were spoken, many of those who had echoed him were stunned.
Kill the Third Raikage?
How was this any different from sending them to their deaths?
The reason they had accepted the mission was because they wanted to take advantage of the chaos and assassinate him.
Assassination and a frontal assault were different.
There might be a chance in an assassination. If the timing was right, even the God of Shinobi could be taken down.
But a frontal assault.
They didn't have enough lives for that!
Konoha's Shinigami, Seiryū, was trying to send them to their deaths!?
Seiryū curled his lips into a sinister smile and said in a raspy voice, "Didn't you say you agreed with my ideas? Then take action for this goal. You don't think I'll believe you just because you say you agree with me, do you?"
"Run!"
"This guy never intended to let us go!"
"Damn it, I still can't figure out how he knew we were here from such a distance!"
"Scatter and run!"
Fighting meant death, and not fighting also meant death.
They had no choice but to run.
Some still couldn't understand.
Even though they were so far away and had been very careful and cautious, why were they still discovered?
This put them in an extremely dangerous situation.
'Chi, chi, chi.'
However, Seiryū's movements were faster.
Four other chains extended and shot out, landing in four directions and constructing a purple rectangular sealing barrier.
Four Violet Flames Formation!
Even Kage-level powerhouses could not easily escape the barrier and would be trapped within it.
'Boom, boom, boom.'
Then, the dark red Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan pressed down, turning the area sealed by the Four Violet Flames Formation into a cage that harvested lives.
"You are all just too stubborn."
Seiryū muttered, waving his hand to disperse the dust filling the sky.
In the devastated field, the hundred or so bounty ninja had died miserable deaths, and only a few of the stronger ones were still alive.
Kakuzu was naturally one of them. After all, he was a Kage-level powerhouse and was able to protect himself from the attack just now!
But his expression was extremely grave, and he was highly vigilant.
This guy's strength had truly reached a level he couldn't understand.
A casual attack actually possessed such terrifying power!
"Are there still a few alive? Your strength isn't bad."
Seiryū looked at the survivors below, focusing mainly on Kakuzu, and stroked his chin in thought. "Let me think. What ninjutsu should you die under?"
"Oh, right, it's Rasenshuriken."
Kakuzu had also been recorded in his little notebook of grudges.
The other party deserved to die under Rasenshuriken.
Since they had met, he might as well finish him off!
"You are more of a monster than I am."
Looking at Seiryū, who was in his half-dragon form, Kakuzu's strange eyes revealed a grave expression. He said coldly, "Could it be some secret technique of Konoha? To actually make you possess this kind of terrifying chakra."
Not everyone knew that a monster suspected to be a Tailed Beast was sealed within Seiryū.
Kakuzu was unaware of this.
"After three days apart, one should look at another with fresh eyes. My talent is too strong, so it's normal for me to be a bit stronger."
Seiryū grinned and said, "Oh, right, your chance has come. If you can escape from my hands, you will have another thing to brag about in the future."
"Its value might not be lower than when you threw a kunai at my great-grandfather from eight hundred miles away and then bragged that you could fight my great-grandfather!"
"Hmph, a brat who could only hurt me with a sneak attack, and now you dare to speak to me in this tone?"
Kakuzu's eyes turned cold.
He hated it most when others teased him about that matter.
This wasn't the first time the other party had done it either!
"Final Shot!"
The Secret Technique: Earth Grudge Fear mode was instantly activated, and three masks gathered on Kakuzu's right arm.
The Wind, Fire, and Lightning chakra nature transformations combined into a composite ninjutsu, turning into an attack resembling a chakra ray that shot toward Seiryū!
The blow of a Kage-level powerhouse was extremely powerful!
Seeing this, Seiryū simply formed a hand seal and pointed a finger, using Dragon Vein chakra to make the power of Bakudō #81: Dankū even stronger. "Bakudō #81: Dankū!"
'Rumble!'
The three-colored, intertwined chakra ray slammed into the Dankū, only causing a roar of impact as the shockwave spread out.
However, it was unable to cause much damage to the Dankū wall.
It was easily blocked by Seiryū.
Kage-level attacks could no longer pose much of a threat to Seiryū.
"He actually blocked it!?"
A blow he had been full of confidence in had been so easily blocked by the other party, causing Kakuzu's pupils to shrink violently.
Two years!
At most, it had been two years, and the other party had actually grown to this extent.
This talent was too terrifying!
"Are you still going to just watch?"
Gritting his teeth, Kakuzu looked at the others who had survived Seiryū's attack just now.
He said coldly, "If you don't make a move, you will die too!"
He knew all of these people.
They were also standouts among bounty ninja and often competed with him for business.
One-on-one, these people might not be his opponents, but if they joined forces, he couldn't do anything to them either.
This was a bounty ninja organization that had even shaken the government of a small nation. They were well known among bounty ninja!
One of the middle-aged men with black hair glanced at Kakuzu, and finally looked at Seiryū. "We can guarantee that we will not attack you again. Open this barrier, and we will leave right now!"
Seiryū looked over and tilted his head. "Do you agree with my ideas, and will you follow my will?"
"..."
Silence.
The few members of this bounty ninja organization all fell silent.
Another man with light blue hair also spoke up, his tone cold and mocking. "Brat, are you living in a dream? Although I don't know what you want to do, your ideas are truly ridiculous!"
"The Ninja World isn't something you can change just because you want to, especially with such laughable ideas. If you haven't grown up yet, then."
The final words were not spoken, because he was stared at by those crimson dragon eyes, and a cold, biting killing intent rushed toward him, making him feel a chill all over his body, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Seiryū's voice was raspy and frantic, his tone resolute from beginning to end. "If it can't be done, it's because you are too weak. As long as I decide to do it, I can!"
"No one can stop me. If you don't agree and don't follow, then there is only destruction!"
"Kill him!"
The overwhelming killing intent and cold words made the middle-aged black-haired leader of the bounty ninja organization realize that there was only one path.
Fight.
Although fighting such a powerful lunatic carried the risk of death, they had no other choice!
"Crystal Style: Crystal Lance!"
The man with light blue hair made the first move. He was actually a Crystal Style kekkei genkai shinobi.
After forming hand seals, he opened his right hand, and sharp red crystal lances, as sharp as blades, shot from his palm toward Seiryū in midair!
A piercing whistling sound came, showing their sharpness, which was even greater than shuriken or kunai!
"Fire Style: Fire Dragon Bullet Technique!"
The middle-aged man with black hair also struck instantly.
He was an elite shinobi, and the moment he attacked, it was a powerful Fire Style ninjutsu.
The flames took the shape of a dragon, its body undulating as it bit toward Seiryū.
The flames scorched the air, causing the temperature to rise sharply!
The other three also attacked.
They were all Jonin-level, and powerful Wind Style, Water Style, and Lightning Style ninjutsu were unleashed simultaneously.
Moreover, their coordination was very tacit. Not only did they envelop Seiryū, but they also attacked in succession, vaguely considering Seiryū's retreat routes.
Individually, their strength might be average, but when they joined forces, even against a Kage of the Five Great Ninja Villages, they were confident they could fight and retreat unscathed!
"You have some skill, but that's all."
Seiryū grinned, his figure flashing and disappearing from midair.
Using the Flying Thunder God Technique, he arrived at the position closest to the five, and the Golden Chains behind him extended with a 'clatter.' The tops lit up with Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan, which he smashed down ferociously!
"Block it!"
The middle-aged man with black hair gave the order, reacting extremely quickly.
He formed hand seals to cast Earth Style, and a circle of earth walls protected them.
The Crystal Style shinobi also cast his technique again, covering the earth walls with red crystals and increasing their defensive power.
Amid the sound of 'boom.'
Seiryū's Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan pressed down, but it did not instantly break through the defense constructed by the other party.
The crystals shattered, and the earth walls cracked. Their defensive power was extremely astonishing, and they had actually held out for a period of time!
'Swish, swish, swish.'
Before the defense was completely destroyed, the five worked together tacitly, acting in unison without even needing the middle-aged black-haired leader to speak.
They launched an attack on Seiryū.
Positioned in different locations, various ninjutsu were unleashed again, surrounding Seiryū!
'Clatter! Boom, boom, boom.'
Seiryū's lips curled into a sinister smile, and the Golden Chains behind him lashed out repeatedly.
With Monstrous Strength, he defeated all the incoming ninjutsu, scattering them into pieces.
"Hadō #67: Raimei San!"
As Seiryū's hand seals fell.
Lightning turned into mist, and the 'crackle' of electricity resounded.
The speed at which the lightning mist spread was extremely fast, and soon it enveloped the surrounding area.
Among the five, one was not good at speed, and the lightning mist was very deceptive, looking as harmless as water mist.
Then he was hit!
Amid the piercing 'crackle' of electricity, accompanied by a shrill scream, this person was instantly electrocuted into charcoal, dead beyond any doubt.
"Hadō #27: Arashi Kiri!"
Seiryū attacked again, casually sweeping out wind pressure like sharp blades, driving the surrounding spreading lightning mist.
He killed toward the few people inside the Four Violet Flames Formation in a composite ninjutsu manner.
'Chi, chi.'
In an instant, two more were killed, their charred corpses split in two without even bleeding.
The strength was not on the same level.
In front of Seiryū, Jonin were like clay dolls, able to be slaughtered at will!
Seiryū walked forward step by step, his voice raspy and sinister. "As long as the strength is enough, changing the Ninja World and making the Ninja World follow my will is very easy."
"Because resistance only ends in destruction."
(To be continued.)
