[One minute, can't waste it...]
Lin Ke didn't pay any attention to what the scarred man was thinking. He knew from their brief clash that he was just a nobody not even worthy of a name. If it weren't to summon a Stand suitable for battle, quickly resolve all opponents, and try to participate in a battle at Yan Shui Teacher's level, he wouldn't even need a Stand to deal with him.
Thinking this, he quickly rushed towards the group engaged in close combat. Yuan Wei and Xia noticed his arrival and decisively retreated—
Both of them had witnessed the terror of their boss after activating his technique and didn't want to be killed by their teammate without understanding what was happening.
"Swish!" Seeing Lin Ke walking over seemingly defenseless, the Rain Hidden Village ninjas naturally showed no mercy and rushed to attack, trying to kill the target.
A two-way rush, in an instant, brought all the 'Rain Hidden Village' ninjas in the corridor within his five-meter range. [The range of metal objects is 5-10 meters, but since it's being used without any development, five meters is the optimal effect.]
"Pfft!"
Various sharp metal objects burst out of the ninjas' bodies like blooming flowers, eager to complete the instant kill.
As expected, they were all just small fries.
Lin Ke didn't even look at the group of people who were completely dead. He turned back to look at his two companions who were panting.
Yuan Wei and Xia have grown a lot. As young Genin (only eleven years old), they can now work together to entangle nearly ten Rain Hidden Village ninjas. Even if they can't win and might eventually lose if they continue to drag it out, they are definitely exceeding expectations for Genin.
The three didn't waste words. With just eye contact, they almost simultaneously broke down the door next to them and jumped out of the hotel window.
The hotel next door, belonging to the Sand Ninja Village ninjas and Land of Wind merchants, was billowing with smoke, probably also under attack.
On the street in the distance, Nara Yan Shui was entangled with a middle-aged man wearing a Rain Hidden Village Forehead Protector. Several samurai from the caravan were desperately resisting the attacks of two Rain Hidden Village ninjas around them, and a Land of Fire merchant was huddled behind a carriage, trembling.
[Is it Salamander Hanzo or a ninja under the Akatsuki Organization? What are they thinking, conducting such a blatant assassination with so many people?]
A question popped up in Lin Ke's mind. He gathered Chakra and rushed over, kicking away the battered friendly unit—the samurai. There was no other way. The metal manipulation was newly acquired and undeveloped. The simplest and most energy-saving method was to cause a chaotic outburst of iron within a certain range. Slightly more complex and refined operations would waste energy.
"Pfft!" The two Rain Hidden Village ninjas met the same death as their companions.
The Stand is truly terrifying for first encounters. Without information, it's impossible to withstand the damage, and the chances of being instantly taken out are very high.
"Crack, crack, crack! Boom!" The hotel where the Sand Ninja Village ninjas were staying was swept by a gust of wind and exploded. The upper half of the building disappeared into thin air.
Lin Ke glanced at it but didn't stop, running towards the Jonin's battlefield.
The middle-aged 'Rain Hidden Village' ninja saw the three Konoha kids come out, and two of his subordinates were instantly killed in a bizarre way. Combining that with the Konoha kids' close-range actions, he retreated without hesitation.
"Swish!" Nara Yan Shui decisively seized the opportunity, first using Shadow Sewing Jutsu to interfere with the opponent's escape route, then quickly forming hand seals, extending his shadow to capture him.
[Shadow Imitation Technique]
This technique is powerful because it can forcibly control the opponent if there is enough Chakra, but the downside is that the user will also be controlled, so it's a god-tier skill to use in coordination with teammates. Earlier, when there were many opponents, he could only entangle them, but now that there are more of his own people, there's nothing to say.
Seeing Lin Ke, who was casting a strange technique, running closer and closer, the middle-aged ninja, captured by the Shadow Imitation Technique, frantically refined Chakra, trying to break free from the restraints. The shadow on the ground trembled constantly.
Sweat was also dripping from Nara Yan Shui's forehead. The two had already been fighting for a while. Because the opponent was worried about the Sand Ninja Village ninjas providing support from next door, the battle was very intense, and many ninjutsu had been released.
The Shadow Imitation Technique is so magical, but the consumption when releasing it is not low. Once the opponent continuously refines Chakra to resist, if one's own Chakra can't keep up, the technique may be broken.
Fortunately, their Chakra levels and physical qualities are not at the level of freaks. He doesn't have much Chakra left, and the opponent probably doesn't have much either.
The middle-aged ninja revealed a desperate expression. Black patterns quickly spread from his neck, and his originally exhausted physical strength and Chakra rapidly increased. Almost in the next second, he broke free from the ground's shadow restraints and turned to flee.
[This is?!]
Lin Ke noticed this detail, and a lightning bolt seemed to strike through his head, stirring up emotions.
"Swish!" Another Shadow Sewing Jutsu-controlled spike briefly blocked the middle-aged ninja's path.
"Gah~" He had already entered Lin Ke's ten-meter range.
The iron in his blood was stripped away. The middle-aged ninja, who had been agile and had just dodged the Shadow Sewing Jutsu, staggered and almost fell. But as the Cursed Seal spread across his skin, he actually managed to act again, enduring the extremely oxygen-deprived body, trying to kill Lin Ke, who was within reach, and then escape.
"Pfft!" Long needles pierced through his flesh and skin, directly freezing him in place, unable to move.
But even so, he was not dead yet. Even the long needles in his muscles were squeezed, bent, and broken. It was only a momentary stiffness, and he was about to act again.
"Swish!"
Nara Yan Shui used a Shadow Sewing Jutsu to cut off the middle-aged ninja's head.
"Thump~ thump~ thump~" A head with a painful expression fell to the ground, rolling a few times before stopping.
"Huff~ huff~ huff~" Lin Ke half-knelt on the ground, panting heavily, his hand trembling as he took out a Soldier Pill and stuffed it into his mouth.
Using the Stand ability consumed stamina. Forcibly stripping the iron from a Jonin's body to form a physical attack was too exhausting.
The opponent's body was much stronger than an ordinary person's, and the enhancement of Chakra severely interfered with the operation of the metal products, coupled with the sudden strengthening caused by those black patterns at the end...
In short, his stamina was instantly drained by the Stand to less than five percent. It was a result of his years of training that he didn't faint on the spot.
"Tap" X2 Yuan Wei and Xia landed to his left and right, abandoning the mission target to protect their leader.
Nara Yan Shui gasped for breath, also swallowing a Soldier Pill. He turned his head to confirm that the Land of Fire merchant was not dead and that the mission was still proceeding normally, then looked at his three subordinates with a gratified gaze.
As ninjas, as tools, they shouldn't have superfluous emotions. For the sake of the mission, they should sacrifice their comrades.
But as a Konoha Village ninja and an elder, he was very gratified to see the friendship and bonds of his three subordinates.
Immediately afterward, he gripped a Kunai and looked at the person walking over—
A Sand Ninja Village female ninja holding an iron fan.
