I'll Kill Your Whole Family!

Lightning Strike was incredibly fast, taking only one-thousandth of a second.

In the world of Naruto , only a few special people could perform such an attack.

Sasuke, who had mastered Kirin, was one of them. And now, this ninja woman standing before them could do it too.

The sheer speed and method of this attack were enough to shock anyone who saw it.

Even the usually clever Yamanaka Hui was completely stunned.

Facing something moving that fast, dodging lightning was simply impossible for a normal person.

"Heh..." Ringo Ameyuri said quietly.

She calmly lowered her arms, letting the two Lightning Blades hang at her sides.

Hakumo Hayama lay on the ground, and it wasn't clear if he was even alive.

The seven Blood Mist Ninja who were there to support them now had even more bloodthirsty and cruel smiles on their faces. They were also even more afraid of their leader, Ringo Ameyuri.

With just one attack, Ringo Ameyuri had created an image of being unbeatable in everyone's mind.

After all, how could anyone be faster than lightning?

The only way to avoid the attack was to move before she even raised her blades.

However, Ringo Ameyuri felt a strange curiosity.

"Aren't you afraid?" she asked.

She saw that Sarutobi Ryo's face didn't show any emotion, and she wondered if he was truly unafraid, or just frozen with fear.

To most people, it looked like Ringo Ameyuri just raised her hand and called down a bolt of lightning.

To people who didn't know anything about ninja techniques, Ringo Ameyuri probably seemed like a god.

But Sarutobi Ryo knew a lot about science and understood how things worked. To him, it was a phenomenon that could be explained.

"You're using the Lightning Blades as a guide," Sarutobi Ryo said calmly. "You send Chakra into the sky in pulses, then bend it back down to the ground. This creates a path of charged air that leads the Lightning Release Chakra, making it look like a lightning strike. So, the secret of the Lightning Blades is that they can create these pulses."

A technique that seemed like a miracle to others was just a common thing used in science labs in his past life to control lightning.

With just a few words, he revealed the secret of Ringo Ameyuri, or rather, the secret of Kirigakure's precious weapon: the Lightning Blade Kiba.

The Kirigakure girl's face immediately turned angry.

But it was only for a moment. The expression quickly disappeared.

"Heh, interesting..." Ringo Ameyuri said.

She stopped looking down at him.

This young man wasn't as useless as she had thought.

In fact, he knew a little too much.

Most ninja weren't good at studying. They used their instincts to control Chakra.

Calling them humans who could use Chakra was like calling them beasts.

Seeing this, Ringo Ameyuri decided that he had to die.

Of course, to everyone else, Sarutobi Ryo's explanation was just confusing nonsense.

This was the difference in power, and also the difference in knowledge and intelligence.

"Move," Ringo Ameyuri said calmly, giving an order. The seven ninja around her immediately jumped into action.

"Protect Hakumo Hayama!" Sarutobi Ryo shouted.

Sarutobi Ryo quickly made hand signs, and facing the attacks coming toward him, he slammed his hands on the ground.

"Huh? He's not dead yet?" Yamanaka Hui asked, pretending to be surprised. But she could sense people with her abilities, so she definitely knew Hakumo Hayama's condition.

Ringo Ameyuri's attack was fast, but it lacked real killing power.

The incredible speed meant that a lot of Chakra was lost in the process.

By the time the Chakra was sent into the sky and then fell back down, there wasn't much energy left.

So she couldn't use this attack many times.

Against a very strong enemy, this move couldn't win the battle.

"Earth Release: Earth Mausoleum Return!" Sarutobi Ryo yelled.

The ground shook, and a stone slab rose up, blocking the shuriken, kunai, and other ninja tools thrown at them.

Sarutobi Ryo jumped backward, and the stone slab exploded, turning into small pieces of gravel.

The enemy had used explosive tags.

Yamanaka Hui had been hoping to leave Hakumo Hayama behind, but now she had to save him and jump backward.

"Young Master, this guy is just holding us back. Let's leave him," Yamanaka Hui said.

Her expression was pleading, but it was more like a spoiled request.

But Sarutobi Ryo would never abandon his teammate.

Before Sarutobi Ryo could say no, Ruri had already attacked the enemy.

The girl charged into the enemy ranks, her movements a blur of Gentle Fist techniques.

Ringo Ameyuri watched this and thought that he was just ordering his subordinates to their deaths.

She smirked and said, "Someone like you wouldn't understand..."

Her words were full of sarcasm.

"A spoiled Young Master like you treats ninja as tools. How would you understand the suffering of the common people? You send ordinary people to die, while you lords enjoy yourselves..."

Kirigakure Village was a place with even stronger class divisions than Konoha.

The Naruto novel explained that the upper, middle, and lower classes were very clearly divided.

Ideas about rank and class were deeply rooted in their hearts.

"..."

Sarutobi Ryo frowned slightly and rushed over to help Ruri.

This world is about comparing who is less bad.

Sarutobi Ryo knew that he wasn't a good person.

Even so, there were things that he wanted to protect!

The fight broke out, with the flash of swords and shadows of blades. The two teams were clearly separated.

Soon, they heard Ringo Ameyuri shout, "Stop!"

"Young Master..." Yamanaka Hui said.

Yamanaka Hui had retreated to Sarutobi Ryo's side and was holding her arm. Blood was flowing out, showing that Ringo Ameyuri had stabbed her.

When Sarutobi Ryo looked toward Ringo Ameyuri, he frowned even more.

He saw the Kirigakure girl holding the Lightning Blade Kiba against Hakumo Hayama's neck.

Hakumo Hayama had just woken up and was having trouble breathing, so he couldn't fight back.

"Drop your weapons, or I'll kill him!" Ringo Ameyuri exclaimed.

Taking hostages was something that other Shinobi Villages often did to Konoha, Amegakure, and other Shinobi Villages.

This was because these Shinobi Villages valued morality and had a bottom line.

What was the Will of Fire? It was to protect the people and things you cared about.

Konoha, which emphasized working together, was very different from the Blood Mist, where ninja would step on their comrades' bodies or even kill each other.

So taking hostages was often very effective against Konoha, Amegakure, and other Shinobi Villages.

In the original story, Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo had to choose between completing a mission and saving his comrades.

The young Obito faced the same choice.

They both chose to save their comrades, showing the Will of Fire.

However, the Will of Fire wasn't about feeling good about yourself. It was about being practical.

The lives of comrades were the most important thing.

Therefore...

"Even if we surrender, you won't let him go, right?" Sarutobi Ryo asked.

Sarutobi Ryo's voice was calm, and Ringo Ameyuri didn't see any worry on his face.

This made her even more curious about Sarutobi Ryo.

He was as calm as a machine.

How would he deal with this situation?

"You can kill him," Sarutobi Ryo stated.

Ringo Ameyuri was stunned by these words.

Not negotiating with terrorists... is international common sense!

The soul from the 21st century was very different from the people of this world.

"But...! I will kill your whole family! I will destroy your Kirigakure! I will make your Village barren! Everyone will die! And completely disappear from the map of the Ninja World!" Sarutobi Ryo said, his voice dripping with menace.

Sarutobi Ryo's strong words made Ringo Ameyuri feel a chill, and the air seemed to get colder.

Sarutobi Ryo's expression was cold, and his voice was firm.

A powerful feeling came from Sarutobi Ryo.

It was a determination to do what he said.

As long as he didn't die, he would definitely do it!

Ringo Ameyuri was stunned for a moment, moved by Sarutobi Ryo's determination. This kid... is serious... he really will do what he says...

Just then, they heard faint footsteps nearby.

"Hmm?! Retreat!" Ringo Ameyuri yelled.

Ringo Ameyuri kicked Hakumo Hayama away.

Hakumo Hayama rolled toward their side.

Yamanaka Hui went to catch him but pretended to miss, causing Hakumo Hayama to fall on his face.

Yamanaka Hui exclaimed, "Oops~! My arm is injured... I forgot..."

Hakumo Hayama grunted, "Ugh..."

With the arrival of the reinforcement unit led by Utatane Koharu, the Kirigakure Ninja quickly retreated.

"Heh..." Ringo Ameyuri whispered.

Just before jumping into the Jungle, Ringo Ameyuri turned around, made eye contact with Sarutobi Ryo, and left Sarutobi Ryo with a beautiful figure.

The Kirigakure girl was smiling as she said, "Sarutobi Ryo... I'll remember you!"

Sarutobi Ryo also stared at Ringo Ameyuri.

At that moment, the system sent a notification.

[Will of Fire System!]

[New... "Weapon of the Will of Fire": Ringo Ameyuri!]

[Side Mission Objective: Instill the Will of Fire into Ringo Ameyuri!]

[Side Mission Reward: "Ice Release Kekkei Genkai" Learning Possibility...]

Sarutobi Ryo muttered, "Ice Release?!"
