ASFUCITWON Chapter 208: The Battle Begins 9

Yet Reiji's gaze remained cold, filled with boredom.

Where Reiji sighed softly, as if he considered all this merely a minor distraction in his day.

As an Iwagakure ninja shouted while thrusting a kunai, Reiji spun with the grace of a killer.

The tip of the kunai missed by mere inches from his body.

In a follow-up movement that almost seemed lazy, Reiji spun again, and the blue Chakra sword in his hand hissed as it sliced through the air.

The man attempted to raise the kunai in defense, but a harsh "crack" sounded as the Chakra sword cut through the weapon effortlessly.

The man's eyes widened, his face froze in a fear that had just begun to surface—before his head was severed, beginning to fall with blood gushing.

With a relaxed hand, Reiji caught the head.

The corners of Reiji's lips lifted slightly, almost forming a cold smile.

Where Reiji casually tossed the head toward an approaching Kirigakure ninja.

The man from Kirigakure was startled, twisting his body to dodge.

But before the man's mind could comprehend what was happening, the world around him changed.

Reiji had appeared in front of the man, just a breath away.

Reiji's eyes glinted cruelly, and his sword slashed upward, cleaving the man's chest.

Blood erupted in a hot spray, soaking the air with a red mist.

The man let out a short groan, "Ahk!" before collapsing to the ground like a wet sack.

Reiji moved again, his shadow blurring.

Where Reiji appeared in front of another Iwagakure ninja.

A sword strike was launched, but the man, with trained reflexes, attempted to jump back.

For a split second, Reiji felt successful—until the blade of Reiji's Chakra extended like a spear and pierced the man's abdomen, the sound of tearing flesh ringing clear, accompanied by a warm spray of blood.

The man's body fell with a wet thud, his eyes wide, as if he couldn't believe how quickly his life had ended.

Ignoring the fallen corpse, Reiji vanished again.

Where Reiji hovered above a Sunagakure ninja, who looked up with wide eyes.

Reiji threw the Chakra spear from the air, forcing the man to roll left to evade.

But before the man could rise, Reiji had appeared behind him.

Without a word, a new spear formed in Reiji's hand, and with one brutal thrust, Reiji drove the spear into the opponent's back.

The spear pierced the chest, a small thud sounding as the body crumpled to the ground.

"Arghh!"

The man's death cry was merely a brief echo in the bloody battle.

Reiji, seemingly bored with how easy everything was, vanished again, appearing before a woman from Iwagakure.

The woman's eyes widened, her hands moved quickly to form seals, her lips moving rapidly.

"Wind Ninjutsu: Wind Needle!" the woman shouted.

Wind forming into needles shot toward Reiji, tearing through the air.

However, Reiji merely stared flatly, one hand raised.

In an instant, a Chakra shield formed in front of Reiji—a thick blue light like a wall of frozen water, deflecting the entire attack.

The woman's eyes showed fear.

Where the woman tried to retreat, but her body suddenly stiffened, her muscles frozen by terror.

Meanwhile, a Kirigakure ninja leaped from behind, swinging a large sword at Reiji's back.

But Reiji, as if having eyes in the back of his head, spun his body, creating a Chakra spear from the empty air.

The sound of metal clashing echoed as Reiji's spear blocked the man's sword, a strong vibration coursing through their arms.
