Bang!
The man was covered in lightning, and parts of his body were scorched. Finally, unable to bear the weight, he suddenly exploded.
Instantly, blood shot out like pillars, flesh and blood splattered like mud, and droplets of blood sprayed everywhere with the explosion, splashing many people's faces.
Although they were Anbu and carried out assassinations, they had never experienced such a scene. A living person exploding, such a bloody scene, such brutal methods – it was hard to believe that Sasuke was only a fifteen-year-old boy.
Hiss, hiss, hiss…
Lightning covered Sasuke's body. The blood and severed limbs that splashed towards him were instantly incinerated by the lightning before they could touch him.
Sasuke calmly withdrew his hand, and the three tomoe in his eyes stopped spinning, slowly clearing and returning to normal. He had clearly calmed down.
Silence fell all around. Both groups of people retreated rapidly, creating distance between them. The Anbu were alright, but the assassins were all tense, uncertain if they could complete their mission this time.
"Why did you stop?" Sasuke said indifferently. "If you want to kill me, you can try."
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, Sasuke suddenly vanished. At the same time, a crackle of thunder erupted, and the sizzling of electricity tore through the air, carrying a heavy thunderous power, and suddenly appeared in front of an assassin.
In the eyes of that assassin, the blue-white lightning grew closer, making everything around seem blurry. His face turned pale, even though they wore masks.
Ch!
Chidori pierced the man's heart without a doubt, creating a bloody hole in his chest. Blood spurted from his back, splashing all over the ground.
"Ah, ugh…" The man choked, but Sasuke had no interest in listening to him.
Roar!
At that moment, a dragon made of earth and stone snaked down from overhead, its expression ferocious.
Sasuke looked up and saw an assassin with his hands clasped together. It was he who had summoned this earth dragon.
"Boring." Sasuke's eyes gradually turned red, the three tomoe spinning. He instantly predicted the earth dragon's attack path. He pulled his hand away, letting the man lie dead on the ground, and at the same time leaped onto the earth dragon's back, drawing his sword from his waist.
"Lightning Release: Ball of Lightning!"
"Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!"
"Water Style: Water Fang Projectile!"
From different directions, three assassins moved their hands and finally gripped them tightly, shouting fiercely.
Instantly, the earth dragon's back trembled slightly, and stone walls rose around Sasuke, boxing him in and cutting off his escape route.
Sasuke's expression remained unchanged. He flipped and was about to leave his spot, but at that moment, blue-white lightning balls and sickle-shaped water blades followed closely behind.
The lightning balls and water blades collided and merged, with the water blades taking the lead. Hiss, hiss, hiss, they sliced through all obstacles and attacked. Behind the water blades were blue-white trails, like shooting stars streaking across the sky, even more clearly visible in this weather.
"Is this all the strength you have? Pathetic." Sasuke's disdainful scoff came from within the stone walls. Then, a beam of lightning shot out, piercing the heavens and earth, gathering in Sasuke's hand.
"Chidori Sharp Spear!"
Sasuke's face was calm. He swung downwards, and with a *screech*, the water blades were severed, the lightning scattered, and the stone walls and stone dragon were cut in half, crashing down below.
Bang, bang, bang, bang…
Large amounts of earth fragments rained down onto the ground, creating deep pits and kicking up dust. The broken water blades, propelled by the lightning, cut through countless trees along the way.
"Just over two years ago, he was only a Genin, right?" someone exclaimed, their voice full of shock.
Those people were also from the Anbu. While not everyone had Jonin-level strength, they were at least elite Chunin. The three of them working together were still broken through so quickly by him.
This meant that Sasuke's current strength was at least beyond that of a typical Jonin.
"As expected of a descendant of the Uchiha Clan, their talent is truly terrifying." An Anbu ninja said in amazement.
What he saw before him shocked him greatly. Sasuke was decisive, and his combat experience was exceptionally rich. Apart from being hit a few times by a Jonin among the assassins, he could essentially instantly kill anyone else he encountered.
The air was filled with the sound of thunder, rumbling and booming. Blue and white lightning filled the area, making it look like a giant high-voltage electric net from a distance, ensnaring the assassins.
It was as if they were all merely fish on Sasuke's chopping block.
Splash, rumble, rumble~
At this moment, the sky grew darker, and the rain began to fall harder. There were occasional rumbles of thunder, as if congratulating Sasuke.
"Are we just going to watch him kill all these people?" an Anbu asked, looking at Sasuke, who was rampaging through the area.
Those people were also part of Konoha's strength, and their complete loss would not benefit Konoha.
"Hmm, that makes sense." A Jonin among the Anbu nodded and said slowly, "We'll go stop him, but remember, don't hurt him."
"Yes!"
They thought that although Sasuke was cold, he wouldn't kill his own people.
Unfortunately, they were wrong. Sasuke was already in a bad mood. If they intervened, he might not kill them, but he could certainly cripple them.
Fortunately, just as they were about to act, a terrifying chakra locked onto them, making it hard for them to move.
"Do not interfere in their battle."
A voice suddenly resounded in their ears, like thunder, almost making their hearts explode.
Who is it?
They had arrived right in front of them without a sound. They knew that the weakest among them were elite Chunin.
And at this moment, the culprit appeared before their eyes: long black hair, Byakugan eyes, and a handsome face – who else could it be but Neji?
"Don't interfere in their battle, just watch carefully," Neji said lightly as he released them from their restraints.
"Yes, Lord Neji." These Anbu said respectfully, showing great deference to Neji.
This was natural. In terms of prestige, even Tsunade was far inferior to Neji in Konoha.
At this moment, behind Neji, Kakashi and others slowly emerged from the shadows of the trees, which made these Anbu's scalps tingle and their hearts pound with shock.
So many people had arrived, and they hadn't detected a single one. Had Neji somehow masked their presence…
Unconsciously, their admiration for Neji rose another level.
"Hmm? Neji." Sasuke, who was in the middle of the battle, naturally noticed Neji and the others. A slight smile curved his lips. He had been wanting to get revenge on Neji for a long time.
"Since the main course has arrived, these appetizers have no reason to live." Sasuke performed a 720-degree flip in the air, throwing several shuriken in succession, which embedded themselves into the large trees.
