Naruto: Starting with Creating a Genius Persona

Chapter 138 Phoenix Through Flowers (7/8)

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A shocking change occurred in an instant!

The pre-placed trap detonation tags were triggered, and blazing flames tore through the darkness. Dense wind blades, fireballs, and earth dragon bullets rained down from multiple directions, aiming directly at the Konoha camp's still not fully secured defensive line!

However, thanks to Shinichi's early warning and Tsunade's swift decision, Konoha was not entirely unprepared.

"Earth Release·Earth Style Wall!"

"Water Release·Water Formation Wall!"

The Konoha combat ninjas, already in position, reacted swiftly, forming hand seals and unleashing defensive ninjutsu, creating thick earthen walls...

A curtain of water rose from the ground, forming a temporary barrier that blocked most of the first wave of the most intense ninjutsu bombardment.

The roar of explosions and the hissing of ninjutsu clashes echoed through the night sky, the firelight illuminating the faces of the ninjas.

After a brief but intense exchange of long-range ninjutsu, the Sand Village's assault force had closed in to close combat, and the Konoha ninjas drew their kunai and swords, preparing to meet the enemy.

In the area where Shinichi was, more than thirty elite Sand Village soldiers rushed out of the darkness, and several ninjutsu mixed with wind blades and fireballs came first, with terrifying force.

The expressions of the dozen or so teammates around him changed drastically, and they hurriedly prepared to defend or dodge.

However, to everyone's astonishment, Shinichi remained motionless, but simply swung the Vajra Ruyi Cudgel in his hand forward with a sudden force!

It swept out with an overwhelming, unreasonable, and mountain-collapse-like momentum!

Wherever the stick passed, the air was compressed and exploded, producing a low whistling sound and a loud crackling sound!

Those incoming ninjutsu, whether they were sharp wind blades or explosive fireballs, collapsed and shattered like fragile glass the moment they came into contact with the Vajra Ruyi Staff!

The turbulent flow of chakra energy caused Shinichi's hair and clothes to flutter wildly behind him, yet he remained as steady as a rock.

"Everyone, be careful!"

As soon as he gave the order, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ground several meters in radius beneath his feet, and his figure vanished from the spot!

Instead of retreating, they're advancing!

Shinichi transformed into a blurry afterimage, wielding a heavy staff. Like a cannonball fired from a gun, or a sudden burst of deathly wind, he tore through the brief gap between the two sides at an astonishing speed, rushing straight to the forefront of the Sand Village formation!

His target was a Sand Village Chunin who was charging ahead, forming hand seals, and attempting to unleash his next ninjutsu.

The Sand Village ninja only felt a blur before his eyes, and a fierce gust of wind rushed towards him. His pupils shrank sharply, and before he could even complete half of the hand seals, the enemy had already pounced on him!

In that life-or-death moment, he didn't have time to think. He instinctively drew his katana from his waist, used his arms to hold the sword horizontally in front of him, and tried to block.

Snap!

There was only a very short, sharp sound of metal shattering!

The moment the Vajra Staff struck, the Sand Village ninja's sword shattered instantly!

Countless metal fragments scattered and flew everywhere, resembling a brief meteor shower in the firelight.

The last thing the Sand Villager saw in his eyes was a black staff that was getting closer and closer.

"puff!"

It was as if a ripe watermelon had been smashed by a hammer.

Red and white splattered and mixed together in the strong wind generated by the sticks.

The Sand Village ninja froze in his blocking motion. Then, the headless corpse was propelled backward by the immense force contained in the club, crashing heavily into his four companions behind him, causing a commotion and chaos.

Shinichi pressed his advantage relentlessly, the ground beneath his feet shattered a second time, and his body shot up like a cannonball once more!

He gripped the Vajra Ruyi Staff tightly with both hands, and with the momentum of his forward thrust and leap, the staff drew a heavy and graceful arc in the air, his body leaving a brief afterimage along the staff, as if stirring the night.

Below, the four Sand Village ninjas, who had been knocked back by the headless corpse of their comrade and were in complete disarray, had just managed to regain their footing and were still in shock when the shadow of death descended upon them along with the fierce wind pressure!

"not good!"

"Get out of the way!"

The gasps and roars abruptly ceased.

With immense force, the Vajra Ruyi Cudgel crashed down like a meteorite, carrying the full power of Zhenyi and the acceleration of its descent!

boom!!!

A deafening roar, far more muffled and violent than before, erupted!

Centered on the point of impact, the solid ground suddenly caved in and cracked, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading wildly for more than ten meters!

Earth and rocks, mixed with flesh and blood, shot out in a radial pattern in all directions!

The terrifying shockwave knocked the headbands of several Sand Village ninjas further away askew.

Dust mixed with blood mist rose up.

Under the force of the club, the four Sand Village ninjas, along with the remains of the first one killed, were reduced to a blur by the irresistible power.

Only the Vajra Ruyi Staff, deeply embedded in the ground, and Shinichi, standing with the staff in hand and his murderous aura still lingering, stood at the newly created center of death.

In the blink of an eye, five Sand Village ninjas perished!

Shinichi slightly raised his eyes, his cold gaze sweeping over the Sand Village team before him, who had momentarily frozen in place due to the sudden flurry of attacks.

"this...."

A medical ninja stared wide-eyed at the scene before him in disbelief.

He knew that Shinichi was a genius and that the boy was very strong, but witnessing him shatter multiple ninjutsu attacks with a single blow and instantly kill five Sand Village ninjas was still beyond his imagination.

too fast!

It was so fast that they didn't even have time to react!

The remaining thirty Sand Village ninjas were also momentarily stunned, but Sand Village was, after all, a ninja village that had been tempered by the sandstorms. After a brief moment of disorientation, they were filled with ferocity and fighting spirit aroused by the bloodshed.

One of them, seemingly one of the squad leaders, stared intently at Shinichi's face and hissed, "He's Higashino Shinichi! The Higashino Shinichi from Konoha! The one from last year's Chunin Exams!"

Upon hearing this, Shinichi glanced over and recognized the man. He had a rugged face and a shallow scar on his left cheek. Shinichi recognized him as a Sand Village Jonin examiner from the second round of the Chunin Exams last year. Shinichi remembered that the man had introduced himself as Yoshida Takeshi.

"Kill him! Kill him first!"

At Yoshida's command, the remaining thirty Sand Village ninjas' eyes flashed with ferocity, and most of them immediately turned their spears and pounced on Shinichi's location like wolves that had smelled blood!

"Support Shinichi!"

"Stop them!"

Seeing this, Shinichi's Konoha teammates behind him immediately tried to rush forward to join him and relieve the pressure on him. "Send ten people to stop those Konoha guys! The rest of you, follow me and surround and kill Shinichi Higashino!" Yoshida Takeshi, with his rich experience in combat command, immediately divided his forces.

The ten Sand Village ninjas turned and fearlessly charged towards Shinichi's teammates, using ninjutsu and kunai to create a defensive net, temporarily holding off any reinforcements.

Meanwhile, Yoshida Go personally led the remaining twenty elite Sunagakure soldiers, launching a fierce and overwhelming attack on Shinichi from several directions, encircling and surrounding him!

Kunai and shuriken rained down, and various ninjutsu attacks, including wind, fire, and earth techniques, came from tricky angles. Furthermore, ninjas skilled in taijutsu and swordsmanship closed in fiercely, with flashing blades and flying chains!

The attack by twenty people instantly turned the area where Shinichi was located into a vortex of death.

Shinichi moved swiftly, dodging and weaving within a limited area.

The Vajra Ruyi Cudgel sweeps or flicks, deflecting and knocking away most ranged attacks; each swing of the heavy cudgel generates a heart-pounding wind pressure.

His movements were exquisite, narrowly avoiding two crisscrossing sword flashes and dodging a kunai aimed at his throat.

Just then, a tall Sand Village taijutsu ninja seized the slight pause after he dodged the attack, roared and leaped high into the air, his heavy broadsword slashing down with the force of a mountain cleaving!

Before the blade even arrived, the sharp wind emanating from it made one's scalp tingle.

Zhenyi's eyes turned cold, and he skillfully retreated several meters away. His powerful leaping slash only hit the air. Just as the opponent's sword momentum was exhausted and his body leaned slightly forward due to the missed strike, Zhenyi's attack landed.

With his right hand, Zhenyi suddenly raised the Vajra Ruyi Staff, which he was holding with one hand, and changed the posture from pointing diagonally at the ground to a swift forward thrust!

The movements were concise, swift, and precise, as if they had been practiced a thousand times.

Clang!

The stick emitted a strange metallic hum!

The next moment, something unexpected happened!

The Vajra Ruyi Staff, originally over two meters long, shuddered violently under the infusion of Shinichi's chakra and the urging of his will, and then...

"Whoosh!!!"

The heavy, dark staff seemed to come alive, instantly growing more than ten times its original length!

Moreover, the rapidly extending staff also carried a strong, visible spiral force. The staff head spun and thrust forward, tearing through the air and emitting a shrill whistle, directly piercing the Sand Village taijutsu ninja who had just missed his leap!

"What?!"

The Sand Village taijutsu ninja only had time to barely hold his broadsword across his chest, his eyes filled with horror.

"Pfft!"

The staff, coiled with spiraling power, easily pierced through his hastily parried broadsword, then, like a hot knife through butter, pierced through his thick breastplate and solid chest! Blood gushed from his back!

But this fatal blow has far more power than that!

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

After piercing the first person, the staff continued its momentum, using its terrifying spiral penetrating force and extended kinetic energy to move forward, like a string of candied hawthorns, successively piercing the bodies of the other four Sand Village ninjas who were standing close behind this taijutsu ninja due to the encirclement formation!

Time seemed to freeze at that moment, stretching out to a pitch-black staff over twenty meters long, piercing the bodies of five Sand Village ninjas who had instantly lost their lives, their expressions frozen in shock and pain, standing still in the bloody night wind.

One strike, five kills!

Phoenix amidst flowers!
