Konoha: On the night of the massacre, I summoned Inuyasha.

For example, the assassination technique, the shuriken, is quite threatening even to a Jonin-level Shimura Yu.

If applied to Yue, it would likely allow his throwing techniques to reach an astonishing level. Combined with his three-tomoe Sharingan, Yue could probably rival Itachi Uchiha at the same age in terms of throwing skills.

...............

"Who are you, you bastard?"

To the east of the Shimura clan, a Shimura clan genin looked tense; he had just sent his family to the clan's sanctuary.

It was a huge air-raid shelter built beneath the Shimura clan's ancestral land.

He came out to see if his clan needed support, after all, he was also a ninja of the clan and didn't want to just watch other clan members fight desperately.

At this moment, an old man suddenly appeared before him, with a smiling face and a kind and benevolent appearance.

However, this Shimura clan genin did not lower his guard at all because of the old man's appearance.

After all, the screams of the clansmen had just ceased on the western side of their territory, which meant that an enemy had surely invaded.

The old man who suddenly appeared before us is probably one of the intruders.

"Eh..."

Hello friends, I am the head of the Hunyuan Xingyi Taiji School.

Teacher Ma.

To Shimura's surprise, the old man actually answered his question.

"Hun Yuan Xing Yi Tai Chi?"

The sect leader?

Shimura, a genin, pondered the word, "Is he the leader of some faction?"

"May I ask what brings you to the Shimura clan?"

Our tribe is currently facing a sneak attack by invaders. Could you please wait a moment while our chieftain and the others capture the invaders before we speak with you?"

Because of the old man's composure, Shimura genin breathed a slight sigh of relief. Perhaps the old man in front of him had just arrived at the Shimura clan.

However, they didn't send a visiting card and arrived close to evening, which seemed a bit suspicious. Perhaps they came to lend a hand after hearing the commotion in the family.

Genin Shimura guessed.

"I am a 69-year-old comrade. Is it right for you to come here to cheat and rob me?"

But then the old man called Teacher Ma suddenly spoke again, still with a smile on his face, though it was a bit dark and Shimura was too nervous.

Shimura, the genin, never realized that although Ma-sensei was maintaining a smile, it was a fake smile that looked like plastic.

Teacher Ma's eyes were filled with extreme indifference, devoid of any emotion.

If Yue were here, she would have guessed that the scene before her and the old man's narration sounded very much like the lines that a dungeon boss would say at the start of a battle.

For example, Lu Bu's new skin in Honor of Kings likes to shout a certain phrase when unleashing his ultimate skill:

I am your king.

What are you saying?

Shimura was completely bewildered, feeling that the old man's words were utterly nonsensical.

But the next moment, his pupils shrank sharply.

The old man in front of them had suddenly disappeared, and when he reappeared, he had already pierced through Shimura's chest with a single palm strike.

"what!"

Only in his dying moments did Shimura, a genin, let out a bewildered scream: "Enemy attack!"

He finally understood that the old man before him was also an enemy.

"No martial ethics!"

The old man still wore a kind smile on his face.

He threw the corpse aside and then focused his attention on the other Shimura clan members who were closest to him.

A new killing spree has begun, a true killing spree!

.....................

"Disappeared!"

As he watched Yagyu Ranzo, whose head had been pierced, disappear right before his eyes, Shimura Issei's face darkened.

"It doesn't seem to be some kind of substitute death, but a true disappearance."

Shimura Yuya's face was grim. He looked at the vanished Yagyu Ranzo and suddenly noticed that the blood that had dripped when he had injured Yagyu Ranzo not long ago had also disappeared.

"It's as if this bastard never existed in the world."

A large group of Shimura clan ninjas surrounded them, and someone spoke up.

"Perhaps it's some kind of secret technique, or more likely some kind of puppetry."

"I sensed something strange during the battle. This masked ninja didn't seem like a living person in any way, even more emotionless than Danzo's most ruthless Root members."

Touching his chin, Shimura Yu began to analyze.

"Alright, let's ignore him for now."

Let's take stock of the losses.

"Don't leave the shelter yet, we'll talk about it tonight."

Shimura Issei's expression was solemn. He waved his hand and gave an order, "After all, if it is really as Yu-kun guessed, there may be more enemies."

"Yes, Chieftain!"

Shimura Yu and the others said in unison.

However, at that moment, a scream suddenly rang out from the east of the Shimura clan.

Then came a piercing scream, "Enemy attack!"

"Damn it, this guy is lawless!"

Upon hearing the scream, Shimura Yu's face twisted into a savage grimace. "I'll kill him!"

In a flash, he swiftly headed east towards the Shimura clan.

“Come with me.”

No, everyone, do not scatter. The enemy situation is unclear, so please remain vigilant.

"Shimura Yoshimi is leading the clan's genin to the sanctuary. The rest of you, follow me."

Shimura Issei quickly gave the instructions and then chased after Shimura Yu.

To the east of the Shimura clan, the slaughter had already begun.

.........

"When I looked, oh, they were two young people."

While chanting incomprehensible lines to the Shimura clan ninjas, Teacher Ma's figure flashed, and two Shimura genin died.

"Eh..."

I said, "Little boy, try to bend one of my fingers with both hands." He couldn't.

Easily dodging a sneak attack from a Shimura Chunin, Teacher Ma slapped him on the head, shoving his head into his chest.

"These two young men lack martial ethics."

They're trying to scam me! They're trying to ambush this 69-year-old comrade.

Is this okay?

This is not good!

With a fake and eerie smile on his face, Teacher Ma jumped up and dodged a Shimura ninja who rushed out from underground.

He twisted his body in mid-air and dodged another kunai from a Shimura ninja.

Immediately afterwards, Teacher Ma moved swiftly and stomped the Shimura ninja who had rushed out from underground to death.

Using this force, he rushed directly in front of the Shimura ninja who was throwing kunai, and with a look of despair in his eyes, he slapped him on the head.

"No martial ethics!"

However, at that moment, Teacher Ma suddenly stopped and retreated rapidly.

A dazzling flash of light swept past his original spot, and Shimura Yu appeared there.

Chapter 16 Receiving, Transforming, and Developing!

"Who exactly are you people?"

Why did you attack our Shimura clan?!

Looking at the seven or eight dead Shimura clan ninjas around him, Shimura Yu couldn't help but roar.

Their clan was already small in number, and now the old man in front of them had killed seven or eight of their ninjas.

This only made matters worse for the Shimura family.

"Hey... hello friends, I'm the head of the Hunyuan Xingyi Taiji School—"

Teacher Ma.

To Shimura Yu's surprise, Mr. Ma actually answered.

"Hun Yuan Xing Yi Tai Chi Men?"

What grudge do you hold against my Shimura clan?

Shimura Yu's face turned cold. Although he was somewhat puzzled by Teacher Ma's decisive answer, he still continued to ask.

They want to get more information.

They said, eh....

Someone said they hurt their neck from practicing kung fu at the gym, and asked, "Teacher Ma, could you teach me Hunyuan kung fu?" Uh...
