chapter 181 part 1
Chapter 181: Full Power Ren!
After just one glance, Torune was already beginning to question his life.
Using the unique properties of his poisonous insects, Torune bypassed the prerequisite conditions for a Chunin Exam, leaping directly to become a Special Jōnin.
He had originally thought himself invincible at this age, but he never expected to be so helpless in the face of Uchiha Ren, who was still quite young.
"Fu! I can't handle him here!"
Torune immediately made a judgment. He knew that if this dragged on, the outcome of the battle was uncertain, so he needed to notify his teammates.
Yamanaka Fu also hadn't anticipated that his meticulously planned strategies, each seemingly flawless, would first go wrong at the most crucial stage, which should have been a guaranteed success.
Even if the Leaf Village's Blue Beast was temporarily restrained by Doto Kazahana, why was Uchiha Ren, a mere Genin, so difficult to deal with?
But the mission was more important than anything.
Thinking of this, Yamanaka Fu shouted loudly at Nadare Roga, who was immune to Kurenai Renhi's Genjutsu thanks to his Chakra armor, "You! Go kill that Leaf Village brat!"
Nadare Roga initially felt nothing, as he was a mercenary ninja hired by Doto Kazahana. Now, an outsider wanted to command him? Giving him face, was he?
But Yamanaka Fu's next sentence made Nadare Roga's eyes light up.
"He's the disciple of Hatake Kakashi, whom you fought years ago!"
"Hatake Kakashi?" Nadare Roga immediately recalled that night many years ago.
It was because of Kakashi that he failed to assassinate Koyuki Kazahana, the heiress of the Land of Snow.
He hadn't expected that after so many years, he would actually encounter Kakashi's disciple?
"Leave this kunoichi to me! I'll go kill the disciple of an old foe first!"
Nadare Roga said, kicking Kurenai Renhi away, and Torune quickly filled the void.
"You're a rogue ninja with Aburame Clan abilities? No, the Leaf Village has no historical records of this." As Kurenai Renhi thought about it, her pupils contracted. An impossible yet inevitable conclusion surfaced in her mind!
An ANBU member?
No!
The higher-ups had already sent her to monitor Uchiha Ren.
Then there was only one possibility left:
Danzo!
Thinking of this, Kurenai Renhi's positive image of Danzo shattered immediately!
She never expected that Lord Danzo would actually make a move against a child like this!
Even though this child's performance was indeed too astonishing...
Was it because they wanted to curb the Uchiha Clan, who were producing geniuses one after another?
Kurenai Renhi clenched her kunai, her eyes burning with rage. She deeply resented Danzo's actions!
Torune put on his clothing, wanting to prevent a large number of poisonous insects from infecting Kurenai Renhi. He clearly still had a hint of independent thought influencing his judgment.
As he covered his skin, he said, "I'm sorry, Jōnin Kurenai Renhi. Everything is for the sake of the Village."
"What 'for the sake of the Village'!" Kurenai Renhi gritted her teeth. "You've gone too far! I will report this truthfully to the Third Hokage!"
Torune, however, wore a nonchalant expression.
In his opinion, as long as he could complete the mission given by Lord Danzo,
Then he could just commit suicide and leave no evidence. Even the Hokage would not be able to question Lord Danzo.
"My apologies, Jōnin Kurenai Renhi!"
Saying that, Torune charged forward!
And just as he was about to reach Kurenai Renhi, a black feather, almost too fast for the naked eye to follow, glowing with blue light and accompanied by a tearing sound, instantly pierced through Torune's left thigh! *Bang!* Flesh splattered everywhere!
Torune stumbled and fell, but no fresh blood flowed from his body. On the contrary, purple liquid dripped from him. If one were to look closely with a magnifying glass, those things were actually countless, densely packed insects!
But even so, one of his legs was gone.
This penetrating injury, a palm's length above the kneecap, directly pronounced Torune's ninja career basically over. He gritted his teeth, trying to crawl up, but Kurenai Renhi's Genjutsu pulled him into a field of flowers!
"Genjutsu: Demonic Illusion: Beautiful Blooming Lotus!"
At the same time, Nadare Roga on the other side was filled with rage.
He tried to approach Uchiha Ren with taijutsu, but Uchiha Ren hadn't even looked at him since the fight began. Instead, he casually threw a lightning feather enhanced with Armament Haki, directly crippling one of his subordinates.
And the person who did all this was once his defeated subordinate, the proud student of Hatake Kakashi.
This made Nadare Roga gnash his teeth in anger!
Feeling that the Chakra in his body had finally recovered quite a bit, Nadare Roga leaped backward, landing on a block of ice. He quickly performed Hand Seals!
As he performed Hand Seals, he said, "Try using your Water Dragon Bullet again if you have the guts!"
Uchiha Ren, who had watched the movie version, knew clearly that Nadare Roga had a specific ninjutsu to counter dragon-shaped attacks. He calmly followed with Hand Seals, his Sharingan locking onto Nadare Roga. This made Nadare Roga recall the ultimate technique used by that damned Kakashi years ago!
Those same crimson eyes, those eyes that seemed to see through everything, stirred a nameless panic within Nadare Roga.
Nadare Roga's Hand Seals inexplicably slowed down, and Uchiha Ren actually completed his Hand Seals before Nadare Roga did!
He shouted loudly, "Ice Release: Crushing Dragon Fierce Tiger!"
At this moment, Nadare Roga also shouted hoarsely, covered in cold sweat, "Ice Release: Crushing Dragon Fierce Tiger!"
Following the angry roars of the two, the ice crystals on the ground seemed to be summoned by some mysterious power, rapidly converging and merging!
In the blink of an eye, two fierce tigers, formed from crystalline ice, appeared vividly on the field!
These two fierce tigers exuded an oppressive chill. They roared towards the sky, their voices shaking the surroundings! They fiercely pounced at each other!
The two ice-crystallized tigers collided with a roar. The enormous impact caused ice crystals to scatter and fly like fireworks, reflecting a dazzling rainbow glow under the light!
Nadare Roga looked up at the ice crystals dancing across the sky, momentarily stunned.
His mind was blank; he had not foreseen the situation developing to this point.
Just as Nadare Roga was immersed in this brief astonishment, a figure rapidly approached from behind the ice crystals!
Uchiha Ren's fist was covered in a layer of dark Armament Haki. In a flash, this Armament Haki-clad fist, accompanied by whistling wind, struck Nadare Roga's face with the force of a thunderbolt!
"Bang!"
This mighty sound echoed like a heavy hammer, reverberating for a long time in the silent battlefield.
Nadare Roga's body flew backward uncontrollably, like a kite with a broken string!
Until, with a "thud," Nadare Roga's body violently slammed into a palace pillar, finally coming to a stop.
The surface of that pillar showed numerous dense cracks under the enormous impact!
