Traveling Through Multiple Realms: The Supporting Character's Counterattack

"That... what kind of monster is that brat from Konoha?"

A Chunin from Iwagakure trembled, almost unable to believe his eyes.

"That's amazing!"

The morale of the Konoha ninjas soared, and their previously precarious defenses stabilized, even prompting them to launch a counterattack.

Just as he was about to kill an opponent, Shirokumo Hayama glanced over and saw Genma toying with an Iwagakure Jonin as if he were a child. Even with his strong will, he couldn't help but gasp, his eyes filled with unbelievable surprise.

He knew that Genma was exceptionally talented, but he never expected that his combat abilities would be this strong.

Kai, his face flushed with excitement, waved his fist and shouted, "Whoa! This is the power of youth! Genma, burn brightly!"

Ebisu pushed up his sunglasses, which had fallen off in surprise, and muttered, "Is this guy really a fresh-graduated genin like us?"

Genma's figure once again floated back like a feather, distancing himself from the blood-soaked Quartz and standing quietly.

His breathing was steady, as if the fierce attack just now had not exhausted him too much.

He looked at Shi Ying, whose eyes were filled with fear and who was panting heavily, and broke the brief silence with a cold and clear voice: "Is this all the Jonin from Iwagakure are capable of?"

Quartz's chest heaved violently, and blood mixed with sweat flowed from the wounds all over his body, accumulating into a dark red pool at his feet.

Genji's cold sarcasm was like a red-hot needle, piercing his heart, which was already filled with anger and humiliation.

"You wretched brat!!!"

Quartz squeezed out a hoarse sound from between his teeth, his eyes bloodshot from extreme congestion.

He stared intently at the boy opposite him, whose breathing was steady and whose clothes were not even slightly disheveled, and an unprecedented mix of rage and despair surged into his heart.

As a renowned Jonin of Iwagakure, his title "Quartz Armor" once struck fear into the hearts of countless enemies on the battlefield. Now, however, he has been driven to such a desperate situation by a junior from Konoha and even humiliated to his face.

"Unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable!"

A fierce and resolute determination erupted in his eyes, "Even if I die, I will drag you, this monster, down to hell with me. I will never let someone like you return to Konoha alive!"

boom--!

A terrifying amount of chakra, far exceeding the limits of his body's tolerance, was frantically extracted from his body like a volcanic eruption.

The force was so violent that it even caused cracks to appear on the rocky skin of his body, with blood spurting from the cracks. The ground beneath his feet could not withstand the force and began to crumble and sink.

"Earth Release: Earth Stone Dragon!!"

Quartz let out a roar that sounded almost like a dying beast, and slammed his hands down on the ground.

The earth roared as a colossal earth dragon, composed entirely of hard rock, burst forth with a terrifying aura capable of crushing everything in its path.

The dragon's head was ferocious, and its body was enormous, almost obscuring a small part of the sky, casting a shadow that completely enveloped the Xuanjian.

The earth dragon let out a silent roar, and with the force of a thunderbolt, it charged toward Xuanjian. Wherever it passed, the ground was plowed with deep furrows, and stones flew everywhere.

Faced with this earth-shattering attack, a hint of contempt flashed in Xuanjian's eyes.

He didn't even adopt any defensive stance; his body only swayed slightly at the moment the giant dragon head was about to collide with him.

"A futile struggle!"

As soon as the voice faded, his figure vanished from his spot like a ghost, appearing on a broken wall ten meters to the side, his clothes fluttering, relaxed and carefree.

The massive body of the earth dragon crashed into the spot where he had been standing, causing a deafening roar that shook the earth and sent dust billowing into the sky, but it didn't even touch him.

"Damn it—!"

The all-out attack missed, and Quartz let out a desperate and unwilling roar.

He could feel that with this chakra output that exceeded his limits, his life force was rapidly draining from his body, and his vision was beginning to blur.

However, the other party didn't even bother to show a serious expression.

Utter despair was like being doused with ice water, but in the depths of this despair, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of two green figures and a bespectacled figure struggling to fight other Iwa ninjas not far away.

They are his teammates!

A vicious and insane thought instantly took hold of Quartz's mind.

"Hahaha...cough cough..."

Shi Ying coughed up blood, a twisted, gleeful smile spreading across his face. With his last breath, he roared towards Genma, "They were your teammates, weren't they?! What bad luck! Because of you, because they were on your team, that's why they died!!"

Before the words were finished, the massive body of the Earth Stone Dragon raised its head again, abandoning its pursuit of Genma. Instead, it charged towards Might Guy and Ebisu, who were fighting together against an Iwa ninja, with an even more ferocious aura.

"What?!"

Kai reacted extremely quickly, sensing the terrifying wind pressure coming from behind. He made a clumsy side somersault and rolled, narrowly avoiding the direct impact of the dragon's head, but was still blown away by the dissipating airflow.

Ebisu, faced with this sudden, seemingly catastrophic attack, was completely stunned.

The deathly pressure emanating from the rock dragon was so tangible that it pinned him firmly to the spot. All the dodging maneuvers and hand seals he had memorized were completely forgotten at this moment.

His face was deathly pale, his eyes behind his glasses were wide open with extreme fear, and his body was as stiff as a stone. He could only watch helplessly as the huge shadow and the ferocious dragon head rapidly enlarged in his pupils, and the chill of death instantly gripped his heart.

"Ebisu! Get out of the way!"

Kai shouted anxiously from the side, but it was too late to help.

At the critical moment!

A figure appeared abruptly between Ebisu and the terrifying earth dragon, as if teleporting.

It's Genma!

With his back to the terrified Ebisu, he faced the roaring, charging rock dragon, his eyes as cold as knives.

Faced with this devastating attack that could have shattered a small mountain, he did not retreat. Instead, he slightly bent his waist and took a deep breath.

The next moment, his entire right arm, from shoulder to fingertips, was instantly covered with a deep, restrained blackness that seemed to absorb all light.

Earth Release: Armor Hardening!

But that's not enough!

"Armor Hardening - Unparalleled Strength!!"

Genma silently shouted in his heart, and the vast chakra within his body gathered and compressed wildly towards his right fist with unprecedented efficiency and precision.

This is not a simple addition of chakra, but rather a high concentration of massive energy at a single point on the fist, which is then unleashed in the most violent way at the moment of impact.

This is his unique and currently strongest close-combat technique, created by combining his super-strong chakra control, the ultimate defense brought by Armor Hardening, and the principle of superhuman strength.

"Crackling sound!"

The massive chakra, compressed by the Armor Hardening Technique, erupted with terrifying black energy lightning sparks.

"Die! Let's die together!!"

When Shi Ying saw that Genma had chosen to confront the earth dragon head-on without dodging or avoiding it, a crazy and ferocious look of joy appeared on his face, and he uttered his final curse.

The next moment, the jet-black fist, crackling with lightning sparks, collided with the enormous rock dragon head, which carried immense power, without any fancy moves.
