Blood had splashed on Iwa shinobi when the shot was taken as well, to which he merely smiled.

"The moment you arrived, your death was inevitable", he said before another one of his comrades landed before the scene of the crime. Reaching down with excitement, he grabbed Anbu's head by the hair before holding it back to take a good look at her, "Damn, you really fucked her up bad. Nice shot nonetheless"

Yosoi jumped down from her vantage point after the deed was finished, "Something's wrong, that killing intent she let from before was too strong, this was way too easy"

"Easy? This girl alone lured us away from the rest of her comrades, destroyed 4 Anbu units all on her own, and killed hundreds with nothing but her skills alone. And you say it was easy?"

Yosoi sighed in disappointment. Some cautious part of her made a careful note to make sure she is dead. But now it seems that she is thinking too much, "Let's go back to our village and refill our numbers, we have to go back and regroup, If only one of them can do so much harm to us, with a little number we have right now is far from enough"

Yosoi was still very cautious but this Kunoichi's kill count was still incredible, it was enough to say she was an oddity amongst the mob. This was definitely not easy. However, she was skilled but not a monster as described by the village's intel.

With the intel the village has, this shouldn't be over like this. And the killing intent this Konoha kunoichi gave at the start should have been a clear indication of her strength.

According to the Intel, Konoha's assassination squad is one of the best in the world, capable of doing anything; ranging from as insignificant as pickpocketing, to stealing the village secrets, and even destroying an entire nation is possible for them, every single one of its members is a monster, led by the most lethal of them all, Ghost, the unit members are very few in number yet the exact number remains unknown.

'Was the intel false then?!', She turns back with the rest of her remaining men to get back on course.

The Kunoichi's dead body on the other hand turned into blood before turning into red mist and dispersing.

Without notice, the Iwa shinobi that had taken the shot let out a death-like scream as his entire body was cut down in several places as his comrade turned around. But it was too late, the man's body suddenly exploded into a blood shower of red as his mangled, crushed body was left behind.

"What the hell is happening arou...?!!" Yosoi cursed before she was immediately cut off.

"You're about to find out!" as the Kunoichi's voice boomed through the area, a bloody hand reaching out to grab another Iwa shinobi's neck. She used her Katana to simply slice the man's neck away from his body.

Iwa shinobis gasped at seeing the blood hole in her left eye, as the kunoichi licks the blood on her katana and disappeared into thin air.

"Everyone, back to back", Yosoi yelled as Iwa shinobis readied themselves for an attack.

"Be careful..!", Yosoi yelled, and as she said this, a shadow appears behind her, and the sound of countless blades being pulled out of their scabbards could be heard.

Yosoi managed to duck the lethal attack in the nick of time, countless attacks came at her attacker at that very moment, however, the Konoha kunoichi vanished through the attacks in the blink of an eye.

There was no feeling of stabbing through flesh as the Konoha assassin killed another shinobi out of nowhere. She is like a woman possessed, ready to kill whoever comes in front of her.

After flickering in between a group of Iwa shinobis she raised both of her blades and slashed with a spin! Before raising one of her dual katana at her back to block the sudden attack from Yosoi that came at her out of nowhere.

Quickly turning around she blocked another attack from Yosoi. Both of them collided together, swinging wildly at each other before the Iwa kunoichi managed to get an upper hand. Her stone spear went wild against her enemy, hitting and piercing through the Konoha kunoichi's forehead.

"Don't tell me..."

A second later, another Iwa shinobi some distance away fell to his knees and dropped to the ground with a thud, dead. Despite their overwhelming number, Iwa shinobis were fighting for their survival. However, their attack didn't even manage to touch her hair in return.

"Your end is nigh!" The kunoichi said as she ripped apart a few of the Anbu members and sent them flying. A few Iwa shinobi were thrown away, including the man who order to kill her. He was flung at an Iwa shinobi that was nearby and was trying to recover from the shock.

With a loud thud, another Iwa shinobi has his head fall onto the ground. Blood splatters everywhere; scream for help echo throughout the area.

She is just too fast, too flexible; too skilled..! However, her end draws near as the Iwa shinobi attacked her with a deadly blow, the kunoichi easily evaded, dodged, and countered the attack with two of her blades.

But as she did so, there was something that flashed before her eyes. Yosoi claps her hands on the ground and causes the ground around the Kunoichi to quickly lower about 40 feet down a few meters all around. This included the Iwagakure shinobis who were unfortunately near the kunoichi.

As Yosoi did that she commanded her team members to use Earth Release: Tearing Earth Turning Palm so that the earth around the Kunoichi came tumbling down onto her.

And to finish the combo, she commanded the last two of her teammates to shoot fireballs at the ground where the Konoha's kunoichi was. Some of the fireballs engulfed the earth falling which would cause even more damage.

The Kunoichi descended downward, lower into the depths of the earth. Surrounded by the darkness she grits her teeth and stabbed her katanas through the dark walls she was surrounded by, before using one of her katanas as her jumping platform as she suddenly vanished, appearing several hundred feet in the sky.

Once the kunoichi teleported out of the hole, Yosoi cursed, "Shit..." noticing the kunoichi turning into red mist and dispersing in thin air.

The kunoichi suddenly appeared before the Iwa shinobis seemingly out of nowhere. Standing firm, and keeping herself aware of any incoming attack she made a single-hand sign and immensely powerful flames shot out at the shinobis in front of her, at such a pace, that these flames had been deemed impossible to evade at such a close range.

"Tell me, what are you called; shinobi", Yosoi asked, admiration apparent in her voice.

The Kunoichi stood firm, facing forward for several seconds, watching as her victims screamed in horror as a result of the hot flames. She turned back towards Yosoi, there was a hole in where one of her eyes used to be. Blood spilling from her entire body, "Berserk"

Yosoi's mouth twitched, what a manly codename.

Berserk ducked the incoming ninjutsu from behind while sending out an exploding kunai that shot from her to destroy the area near her.

It was a calculated move, one that the Iwa shinobis have no chance of dodging. With a flash of light, the Kunoichi managed to send out several projectiles at the same time from inside the black smoke. Each one of them hit the Iwa shinobi, and each of them caused her opponent to collapse to the ground.

Despite the fact that she is covered in blood, Berserk is still capable of fighting. It was almost impossible to believe that someone who has lost one of her eyes, almost died, and is on the verge of chakra exhaustion is still standing here while at the same time fighting so many simultaneously.

Yosoi admires her a lot now, sure enough, Konoha's assassination squad is filled with monsters, but what she does the best is killing these monsters. Now it is time for her to prove her worth.

Berserk's figure blurred and some of the Iwa shinobis had their guts bisected instantly getting cut into two. She let out a huge sigh of relief, now that every Iwa shinobi is dead except their leader Yosoi.

Her easiness was only short-lived nonetheless because with a blur Yosoi appeared behind Berserk out of nowhere and swung her stone spear in a straight motion, piercing into the kunoichi's now exposed back.

But with great flexibility Berserk dodged the surprised attack by bending forward before swinging her leg back upward to strike at Yosoi's gut. However, Yosoi moved swiftly and evaded the swing, while quickly slashing her stone spear into Berserk's dual katanas with a hard blow.

Overpowering Berserk and pushing her back a bit, Yosoi made another skillful attempt at the Konoha kunoichi's life by stabbing the spear against her stomach as the kunoichi bent backward.

But Yosoi wasn't done with her attack, in a skillful motion, the rigid stone spear in her hand was now sliced by the Kunoichi's katana at an angle when the Konoha kunoichi suddenly vanished.

"Do you think you are Ghost or something..?!", Yosoi yelled and showed great skills in spear fighting as she twisted herself and stabbed the spear to a new position on the right side of her waist...

"What the hell?!" Berserk uttered, as she brought her katana up to block the incoming stone spear though she slid back uncontrollably in face of Yosoi's overwhelming might.

She stabbed her katana into the hard surface of the earth to stop the sliding as she looked at Yosoi who is already finished weaving through the hand signs, "Earth style: Great Mud River"

Each movement was timed perfectly, berserk had no chance to escape this one. Yosoi's movements were faster and more accurate than ever before.

With a small sound, the ground beneath the Konoha's kunoichi started to shake, trapping her within a second, a cloud of dust rose from the surface of the earth and the ground began to split in half as a giant floodgate opened up in middle of the raging mud.

"Mud dragon bomb" Yosoi shouted.

Suddenly, the mud dragon explodes right next to Berserk, blowing her away several dozen feet. As soon as the explosion happened, the cloud of dust and dirt slowly cleared, revealing the Konoha's kunoichi who is now trapped at the bottom of the muddy river.

Yosoi placed her stone spear on Berserk's forehead, making sure she can't run away knowing how slippery she is, "You fought well, but this is the end"

"Really?! That's a damn shame..", Berserk's voice came from behind Yosoi

"What the-

Berserk swung down her katana, hitting Yosoi's stone spear that she used to block the incoming attack with all of her might as berserk and Yosoi crash and fall deep into the torn surface of the earth, the chakra-enhanced katana attack was so powerful that both of them kept sliding downwards into the depths of the earth.

If there was one thing that Yosoi was certain though, with the amount of chakra that Berserk has left, she will not be able to rise from the pit once more.

This is a suicide attack to take Yosoi with her. When they finally stopped crashing down, Berserk stood on Yosoi's dead body that she managed to stab during the crash and smiles contently as she felt the pressure in her stomach vanishing, "Now it is over"

"Says you", Yosoi says, as she pulls out a long thin blade from inside her sleeve and slices through Berserk's throat in one quick single motion.

Tired, injured, and out of chakra Berserk couldn't dodge the attack that came in so suddenly, as she held her sliced throat, huge blood spilling through the gaps of her fingers, she fell back and dies without uttering another word.

Yosoi looks down at Berserk with contempt mixed with envy, but also admiration. A monster would be a perfect term to describe her.

As a member of the assassin unit, she had taken down so many elite units on her own that it was almost a given for her to become one of the greatest kunoichi of her generation, but unfortunately Berserk died too early to receive such an honor.

Even now, Yosoi was sure that she would not be able to end Berserk's life if she wasn't so tired and completely exhausted from the chakra.

If this was a solo battle, the result would be way different. But today, she figured out that even though monsters, the members of the assassin unit are still human, unlike their leader Ghost, that freak who fights like a freaking god.

She watches with satisfaction as Berserk takes her final breath. She lift Berserk's body and brought it out to the surface where the rest of the Iwa shinobi lays dead.

Yosoi sighed as she watch her comrades dead and after mourning for a bit, she carried Berserk's body back to the village, maybe they could find something out of her corpse.

But she couldn't move an inch before a powerful force shook the earth. The entire area was suddenly filled with overwhelming killing intent.

Yosoi quivered in fear and took a few steps back because out of nowhere a shadow of a man was standing in front of her...

"Ghost!!", Yosoi gulped
