Shima watched Urabe Daisuke and the others with a cold demeanor.
This time, they had accepted a B-rank mission, where he, a Jonin, led three elite Chunin and six Genin. The intelligence they received was that the ninjas escorting the target were only two: a Hidden Leaf Chunin and a Genin.
Their combat power was absolutely superior, and their intelligence was also overwhelming, so there was naturally no need for an ambush. They only needed to wait along the reported route for the target to walk right into their hands.
"..."
Shima pulled out a kunai and walked towards Urabe Daisuke.
Apart from the two Hidden Leaf ninjas, the others were all ordinary people, so they didn't need to be concerned. However, the request was to capture one person alive, so to avoid any accidents, he decided to act personally.
However.
Almost as soon as he had taken a few steps forward, preparing to flash over and eliminate all of Urabe Daisuke and the others, his gaze suddenly solidified.
He sharply turned his head to the right.
He saw!
The three ninjas who had previously attacked Shin, for some unknown reason, suddenly froze around Shin, maintaining their kunai-wielding posture, unmoving as if turned to stone!
And in Shin's hand, a white short blade had appeared at some point, its blade emitting a white glow.
"You don't seem to have heard my words."
Shin spoke indifferently, addressing Urabe Daisuke, "You concealed important information, and a situation beyond the scope of the commission has arisen. The commission fee must now be increased, and the commission rank elevated, otherwise, this commission will be considered void."
Thud! Thud! Thud!!
As Shin's words fell, the three Hidden Stone ninjas, frozen around him, fell to the ground like wooden stakes, one after another.
Upon closer inspection, one could clearly see an extremely distinct bloodline on their foreheads, extending all the way to the top of their skulls!
"..."
Shima's pupils contracted sharply.
Dead!
All three were dead, in just an instant!
How could this be?!
Among the three who attacked Shin, there were two Genin and one Elite Chunin. Even he would find it difficult to kill all three in an instant!
Just as Shima's expression changed, a series of thumping sounds came from the other side.
Looking over, he saw Might Duy, clad in a green jumpsuit, his body enveloped in a green glow, his chakra fluctuations surging and intense.
The three who attacked Might Duy were all sent flying backward, spitting blood, and one even had a crackling sound from inside his body, as if countless bones had been broken.
"This..."
Urabe Daisuke was stunned.
The three ninjas who attacked Shin were killed instantly, and the three ninjas who attacked Might Duy were sent flying in an instant, utterly defeated. Faced with this situation that completely exceeded his expectations, his mind went blank for a moment.
It wasn't until Shin's somewhat cold gaze pierced him that he suddenly snapped back to attention. After his initial shock, he finally reacted, a glimmer of surprise appearing in his eyes.
Strong!
Very strong!!
These two Hidden Leaf ninjas, who he had thought were quite ordinary, were unexpectedly unbelievably strong!
After reacting, he no longer hesitated, and with an extremely tense voice, immediately replied to Shin: "Ch-change the mission requirements! Elevate the mission rank to A-rank, and the mission fee to 500,000 ryo! Protect all of our safety!!"
"...Received."
Shin slowly retracted his gaze, holding the ninja blade White Fang horizontally in front of him, and looked coldly at the Stone Hidden Jonin, Shima, saying, "I accept your temporary change of commission proposal."
Shima stared at Shin and said coldly, "Genjutsu? I really misjudged you. I didn't expect you, a Hidden Leaf brat, to possess such strength... But now that I know your trick, it's impossible for me to fall for it."
To instantly kill his three teammates without any resistance was mostly a small-range genjutsu, and one that had been prepared for a long time, a single fatal blow.
He had initially thought there were only two Hidden Leaf ninjas, so there was no need to be too concerned. He hadn't even deliberately set up an ambush or attack, but rather engaged them directly after being discovered.
The current situation was a serious miscalculation for him.
Now, three ninjas were dead, and three were severely injured. A strategic error would inevitably be attributed to him, the leading Jonin. He would be punished upon returning to the village. To make amends, he had to eliminate the two Hidden Leaf Genin in front of him and successfully complete the commission!
Clap!
The next moment.
Shima clasped his hands in front of him, quickly forming a hand sign.
"Earth Style! Earth Rising Spears!!"
Rumble!!
In an instant, the earth trembled as if an earthquake, and over a dozen earth spikes pierced upwards from beneath the ground, targeting Shin and Might Duy.
"Duy-senpai, protect them."
Shin, holding the ninja blade White Fang, leaped through the gaps to avoid the earth spikes' attack, charging towards the Stone Hidden Jonin, Shima, while speaking to Might Duy.
Might Duy, bathed in green chakra light, his hair standing on end, veins bulging on his forehead, said with a domineering tone, "Leave it to me!"
Whoosh! Whoosh!!
The next moment, Might Duy's figure flickered, and he arrived beside Urabe Daisuke, grabbed two people, and threw them to the other side of the river, avoiding the Earth Rising Spears' attack.
Seeing Shin attacking head-on, a cold glint flashed in Shima's eyes.
In this situation, he can't distinguish the situation and still dares to charge alone. As expected, even if his strength is extraordinary, he's still just a brat.
In his opinion, the first to be dealt with was Shin. After all, Might Duy was clearly a Taijutsu specialist. He didn't want to both parry Might Duy's Taijutsu and endure Shin's 'Genjutsu' harassment. Now, Shin charging over was practically giving him an opportunity.
Without any hesitation, Shima let out a low growl, and his hand signs changed again.
"Earth Style! Earth Flow River!"
Along with the hand signs, he spat out a muddy river that rushed towards Shin, intending to completely restrict Shin's movements.
At this moment, Shin was in mid-air to avoid the Earth Rising Spears, seemingly without leverage and about to fall into the mud flow. Yet, he remained perfectly calm, forming a single hand sign with his left hand.
Shadow Clone Jutsu!
Poof!
A shadow clone instantly appeared beneath him, its hands supporting his main body's feet, pushing him sharply upwards. The clone itself then fell into the mud flow below and dissipated into smoke.
Using the shadow clone for an aerial boost, Shin's figure transformed into a phantom, drawing an arc in mid-air, landing in front of Shima, and swinging the ninja blade White Fang down.
Slash!
Shima's body was instantly split in two, but no blood splattered; instead, it disintegrated into brown mud.
It was an Earth Clone!
"I'm a Jonin of the Hidden Stone Village... you brat!"
Shima's voice came from behind Shin. His figure emerged from underground, two sleeve blades extending from his sleeves, glinting with cold light, suddenly slashing towards Shin's back!
