"Who?"
The three ninjas immediately became alert when they heard the hoarse voice. They landed on tree branches and calmly scanned their surroundings.
Eventually, their gazes fixed on a large tree where Genya stood. A gentle breeze rustled his specially designed long robe, making him appear neither bulky nor short, but sharp and imposing.
Genya had been waiting for them here for a while, and had even straightened his clothes to make himself look more handsome.
Though he was still not very tall, anyone who saw him wouldn't immediately think of a dwarf.
"Why are you blocking our path?" The three ninjas spoke together, their expressions cold and proud.
"Are you from the Sarutobi clan of Konoha?" Genya looked at them, his voice hoarse, as if asking a question.
Although he had already recognized them, Genya, ever cautious, asked again to confirm their identities.
"Yes, we are ninjas of the Sarutobi clan from Konoha!" One of the three ninjas responded with a cold smile. "But since you know who we are, you still dare to block our way? Do you know the consequences?"
At those words, the three ninjas exchanged glances, their killing intent becoming obvious. They had already released their murderous intent.
"Consequences?" Genya smiled as he looked at them. "You want to kill me? Just right, I want you too!"
"Attack!"
As soon as Genya finished speaking, the three Jonin from the Sarutobi clan began using ninjutsu, their killing intent sharply rising.
No matter who it was!
If anyone dared to block their path, they would kill them!
In the future, they would wipe out the entire clan once they knew who had dared to stop them.
"Come at me!" Genya's eyes suddenly widened, and a murderous aura radiated from his body. Black flames spread from his eyes, following the chakra of the three ninjas and beginning to drain their chakra!
The battle was on the verge of breaking out!
After a brief tea break, all the Jonin ninjas of the Sarutobi clan were lying on the ground, barely alive.
One person, struggling to stay upright, tried to push himself up, coughing heavily. "Cough, cough… Who are you? Why are you attacking us?"
As he asked, his eyes were filled with despair.
He could feel the strength of an Elite Jonin from this young man. Facing this person brought a sense of hopelessness that came from deep within, a hopelessness that seemed impossible to escape.
"Uchiha Genya!"
As Genya spoke, he slowly removed the mask from his face, revealing his youthful face and a pair of deep, mysterious eyes.
"You… How can you be him? The monster from the Uchiha clan? How could you be this strong?" The three of them couldn't believe it. They never expected a child of such a young age to be this powerful.
However, one of them still shouted angrily, "And you, from the Uchiha clan, how dare you harm the people of the Sarutobi clan? Don't you fear the Hokage's punishment?"
"Heh… Punishment? Didn't the Sarutobi clan already make a move against us? Sarutobi Natsu led over ten Jonin ninjas to ambush me, and it was Sarutobi Hiruzen who personally gave the order!" Genya said with a smile.
"You really killed Sarutobi Natsu?" The three Jonin ninjas of the Sarutobi clan suddenly understood. No wonder the Hokage couldn't find any trace of the culprit. Who would have thought that a child could slaughter over ten of their elite shinobi?
"That's right, but there's no reward for the correct answer!" Genya smiled lightly and, with a swift motion, plunged a kunai into the throats of the three of them.
Even in death, they couldn't believe what had just happened. Another monster had appeared from the Uchiha clan?
And this one hated the Sarutobi clan.
The future of the Sarutobi clan… was doomed.
Black flames spread, sweeping across the battlefield.
After erasing all traces, Genya put his mask back on and disappeared into the jungle.
The place where the battle had taken place was as if nothing had ever happened. No one would ever guess that three people had just died here.
After Genya resolved the matter, he swiftly moved through the forest. If he encountered any wild animals, he would kill them to replenish his chakra. Before long, he reached another route connecting to Konoha.
Tomorrow, some members of the Sarutobi clan would be returning to the village, so he decided to wait there.
He also roasted some rabbit meat to eat.
The night passed quietly.
The next day at noon, Genya was resting in a tree when his eyes suddenly narrowed.
A team of ninjas was about one kilometer away, heading toward Konoha, but their route was slightly off from his.
"Luckily, my Dual Pupil ability extends more than a kilometer, or I would've missed them!" Genya muttered to himself, then quickly vanished from the tree and moved toward the ninja team.
His figure darted through the forest!
While moving, he observed the team of ninjas.
This small team had seven members, but based on their chakra levels, there were four Jonin and three Chunin.
It was a team neither too weak nor too strong, and Genya wondered what mission they were on.
With that thought in mind, his figure had already appeared ahead of them, blocking their path.
He stood in their way!
"Who are you? Why are you blocking the road? Move aside!" the middle-aged ninja at the front of the group questioned Genya sternly. "Otherwise, you'll regret it!"
"This road is so wide. Can't you just walk around?" Genya smiled, his voice cold and indifferent.
"Heh... if that's the case, don't blame me for being rude. How dare you block the path of Sarutobi Seiboku!" The middle-aged man sneered and prepared to attack.
"Sarutobi Seiboku, we can just take a detour. There's no need to argue with him!" a female ninja whispered nearby.
He made the first move and attacked Genya!
However, before his figure could even reach Genya, he was instantly knocked flying!
"You're the ones who made the first move!" Genya, who had been waiting for an opportunity to strike, chuckled lightly, "Well, don't blame me for being rude. By the way… for your sake, why don't you introduce yourselves before we begin?"
"That man is very strong!" The middle-aged man who attacked first wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with coldness.
He then turned to the female ninja beside him. "Shizuku, we'll hold him off. You use the Mind Transfer Technique on him. I want to see who dares to attack my Sarutobi clan near Konoha!"
After speaking, he charged forward again!
Several ninjas behind him exchanged glances and followed him into battle!
"You'd better introduce yourselves, or you might regret it!" Genya muttered lightly, his eyes turning sharp. "Since you won't say anything, I'll just defeat you all until you're too weak to fight back, then ask."
With that, Genya murmured and shot forward like a cannonball, heading straight toward the group!
He used ninjutsu while also activating the Shinra Tensei for defense!
However, because Shinra Tensei had a 4.7-second cooldown, he used some blocking techniques in between.
(Normally, Shinra Tensei has a 5-second cooldown, but as Genya's eye power grew stronger, the cooldown decreased. Now it's 4.7 seconds.)
"So strong!" Shizuku, a member of the Yamanaka clan, watched Genya fight, feeling both awe and fear!
However, she was still looking for an opening in Genya's defense!
Suddenly…
"Perfect opportunity!" Her eyes lit up as she spotted a flaw in Genya's movements. She quickly formed hand seals. "Mind Transfer Technique!"
She intended to control Genya with her technique!
But, as soon as she cast it, a strange pressure struck her, making her mind falter! Her mental power was disturbed!
In that moment of confusion, cold sweat appeared on her forehead!
"Such terrifying mental power!" Shizuku's face was filled with shock. As she looked at Genya, fear and disbelief filled her eyes. It was as if she had felt an endless darkness!!
At that moment, Genya slowly raised his head and looked at her!
