Chapter 31: An Easy Kill
The next moment…
"Puff!" As the sword swung down by Masashi, the flashing blade severed a huge head that flew up into the sky. "Bang!" Blood splashed everywhere. The headless body twitched twice before falling softly to the ground. The scarlet blood instantly stained the entire area. *Is this the feeling of killing?*
Masashi's pupils shrank slightly, and his body couldn't help but tremble at the moment when the headless corpse fell. Even though there was a very real experience and memory of killing deep in his brain, this was the first time for Masashi to kill, and there would inevitably be a little wave of emotions.
But it lasted only for less than a second.
Masashi took a deep breath and adjusted himself. This was a battlefield, and the battle was not over yet. He didn't have any extra time or emotion to lament these meaningless things.
To be honest, he had to thank the complete fusion of the two souls.
Otherwise, relying solely on the identity of 'Liu Heng' as an ordinary college student in his previous life, it would have been impossible to kill a living person so easily, and without any grudges.
This completely subverted the worldview formed by 'Liu Heng's' 20 years of education in his previous life.
The act of taking someone's life is not something that can be done with just a few words.
In this world, only a few people can kill without any pressure for the first time without blinking.
Ninjas all need to adapt.
Not to mention ordinary people from an ordinary world?
It can only be said that 'Liu Heng' was very unfortunate, but also very fortunate.
The fusion of the souls from two lives had helped the previous Masashi adapt to this cruel world 99% of the time.
Now, after experiencing his first actual combat and first killing, Masashi was about to fill that last 1%.
The future Masashi would be the real Uchiha Masashi!
*Instead of being brutally slaughtered, I would rather transform into a hunting demon, even if I have to go to hell after death!*
With flying figures and the black magatama rapidly rotating in his pupils, Masashi prepared for his next target.
"Keng!"
"Puff!"
"Sizzle!"
*Fire Style!*
After easily dealing with the first enemy, Masashi quickly threw himself into the fray, targeting the other Cloud Ninjas.
In a battle group where almost all those around him were ordinary Chunins, or at most elite Chunins, Masashi could still slaughter them with some reservations, almost like he was displaying a crushing attitude.
Naturally, this attracted the attention of almost everyone.
"Damn it! That's a Jounin from the Uchiha clan!"
"Don't look that guy in the eye!"
"Hold on! Form a formation to deal with him!"
Originally, the two sides were still fighting back and forth, but Masashi's presence completely unbalanced the situation. The Cloud Ninjas were shocked and enraged, while Konoha was ecstatic.
This was an obvious attitude on both sides.
"Ming! Retreat! I'll cover you. Stop that Uchiha Jounin, and cover the others to retreat first." This confrontation had only started less than five minutes prior.
Of the fifteen Cloud Ninjas, four had already died, and the remaining ones were all injured to some extent, including the Jounin captain, who could only barely maintain an undefeated status under the attack of Akimichi Motoyasu, while Konoha had four Jounins!
His two companions were caught in the attack of three Jounins, forcing the Hidden Cloud Village Jounin named 'Jiu' to occasionally help his two companions, which inevitably left gaps in their defenses.
He sustained a wound on the left side of his abdomen when a member of the Moonlight Clan took the opportunity to scratch him with a kunai during a rescue.
This battle was so difficult that there were no signs of victory. Jiu had been planning to find the right opportunity to retreat, but Masashi's brutal slaughter left Jiu with no choice but to retreat. If he continued to fight, all his Cloud Ninjas, including himself, would surely die here.
This was a situation Jiu absolutely did not want to see.
Therefore, in less than a second, Jiu immediately made a decision.
"Thunder Style—Thunderstorm Technique!"
He used a B-level Thunder Style technique with large coverage to temporarily force back a wave of Konoha's senior ninjas, including Motoyasu, and immediately ordered everyone to retreat.
Jiu could sense the alteration in the situation. Akimichi Motoyasu, who was in an advantageous position, could easily discern the subtle changes, especially with Masashi's fierce posture as he rushed into an unmanned area. When Motoyasu noticed this Uchiha boy actually had strength comparable to that of an ordinary Jounin, he was overjoyed. They had originally suppressed the Cloud Ninjas in both quality and quantity of combat power.
Now, with an Uchiha Jounin leading the charge, there was no reason to lose this engagement.
When he realized that the Cloud Ninjas generally wanted to retreat, he shouted, "Stop them! Don't let any of them escape! Masashi-kun, the enemy at six o'clock is in your care!"
As he leaped into action, the Jounin of the Aburame clan rushed towards Jiu's position.
Masashi observed closely. It turned out that when the remaining Cloud Ninjas were about to flee, they were being chased by Konoha Ninjas. However, a Cloud Village Jounin forcibly broke through the interception, used the Thunder Style Technique to severely injure the Moonlight Clan Jounin, and then fled at high speed.
Akimichi Motoyasu failed to intercept him the first time, and another Jounin also failed to catch up.
They could only hope for Masashi.
They had come to eliminate reconnaissance bases along the east coast. If possible, they would go deeper to try to destroy the Cloud Village's supply point in the rear of the right wing. Naturally, they had to do everything in their power to prevent the Cloud Ninjas from obtaining information in advance.
They must wipe out all the Cloud Ninjas here.
With immediate reaction, Masashi felt a burst of thunder beneath his feet, using the thunder attribute chakra to stimulate his cells, further activating the rapid burst he had obtained.
"Boom!"
At the moment of the explosion, a "Swoosh!" was heard as Masashi pursued the Cloud Village Senior Ninja who had broken through in the six o'clock direction.
Over the past six months, Masashi had become familiar with all the abilities he possessed, and the only thing he lacked was the corresponding drills in actual combat.
Now, encountering such a good opportunity, Masashi had no reason to give up.
He was not afraid at all of a mere Cloud Village Senior Ninja who had exhausted more than half of his chakra.
