"Rasengan!"
With a muffled bang, a Chūnin who had been watching from a distance collapsed to the ground.
Ding! [Killed an Akikaze Clan Chūnin. Reward: 1,000 Points!]
"Akikaze Clan? Shouldn't it be the Hyuga Clan?"
Even in the heat of battle, Xuan had the leisure to think such a thought. But thinking about it seriously, these Chūnin indeed didn't possess the Hyuga clan's signature Byakugan.
What he didn't know was that the so-called Akikaze Clan was a minor clan attached to the Hyuga, holding a status similar to servants—even lower than a typical vassal clan.
"Over there."
An Elite Jōnin instantly locked onto Xuan's position. Unleashing the Body Flicker Jutsu at full power, he moved so fast it looked like teleportation to the naked eye. He slashed his blade right where Xuan was standing.
Unfortunately, he slashed empty air again.
Even with the disciplined mindset of an Elite Jōnin, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger. To be toyed with by an opponent far weaker than himself—that frustration was enough to drive anyone crazy.
"You lot, get out of here quickly! Don't get in the way and become his targets!" Hyuga Tamamo ordered. She bit her thumbnail lightly, her eyes glued to Uchiha Xuan, who was flickering in and out of existence below.
"Tenkaze, can you figure out how he's moving?" Tamamo asked the Elite Jōnin beside her softly.
Hyuga Tenkaze had been observing carefully from the very beginning. He shook his head slowly.
"I can't tell. It's not the Body Flicker Jutsu. With his strength, he couldn't possibly use the Body Flicker continuously for this long; his body would have collapsed from the strain. He seems to be moving directly from one point to another without any warning or pattern. This is the first time I've seen such a strange Ninjutsu."
Below, Xuan didn't dare stop his Flying Thunder God Jutsu for even a second. He leaped between kunai, disappearing the instant he arrived, not daring to pause for a breath.
The two Elite Jōnin chasing him had been at it for so long without even touching the corner of his clothes. Finally, they snapped completely. Using the Body Flicker Jutsu relentlessly, their longswords moved as fast as lightning. To an observer, only two black shadows could be seen vaguely chasing a flash of light. Often, the moment the flash moved to another spot, two shadows would follow instantly.
The three figures intersected dangerously. It looked thrilling, but in reality, the three of them hadn't made physical contact with each other yet.
"Hmm? Those Chūnin are running away! That won't do."
Even in the midst of the chase, Xuan had the leisure to glance at the fleeing Chūnin.
The Flying Thunder God Jutsu activated instantly. He teleported directly next to a fleeing Chūnin, lightly tapped him to attach a Paper Bomb, vanished again, and appeared in front of another Chūnin.
Squelch!
A cold light flashed. The Chūnin was cut in half by a blade just as the Paper Bomb detonated behind him. The last thing remaining on the Chūnin's face was a look of horror.
"No Points reward?"
Xuan looked back in confusion, just in time to see the Elite Jōnin retracting his blade. He raged internally, Killing your own people? Do you have any humanity?! Of course, he knew deep down it was an accidental kill; the Elite Jōnin had definitely been aiming for him.
"Looks like I can't use Paper Bombs to show off anymore. Better to just kill them directly. Those are Points!"
Thinking this, he teleported to another kunai next to a Chūnin. This time, it was clean and efficient. His Sharingan spun slightly, locking eyes with the opponent. The Chūnin stiffened, unable to move, and Xuan's kunai sliced across his throat.
Ding! [Killed an Akikaze Clan Chūnin. Reward: 1,000 Points.]
Xuan moved with incredible speed, but every action took time. No matter how fast he was, as he teleported away from a flashing blade, a palm-sized scrap of cloth drifted down. It was a piece of Xuan's clothing.
"Close call. If I had been a split second slower, that blade wouldn't have just taken a piece of cloth. Fighting against Elite Jōnin-level powerhouses... I really can't let my guard down for even a moment," Xuan thought with lingering fear.
The Flying Thunder God flashed everywhere. Originally there were seven Chūnin. One killed by Rasengan, one accidentally killed by the enemy Elite Jōnin, and one personally finished off by Xuan. Four were left. By now, they had run far away; two had already escaped the range of his kunai circle. With the Elite Jōnin chasing him, Xuan had no ability to pursue them.
He teleported in front of another Chūnin and killed him, gaining another 1,000 Points, then quickly shifted away before the pursuers caught up.
In that short time, the last reachable Chūnin had also fled to the edge of the kunai circle. When Xuan teleported over, the opponent was already out of his melee range. He didn't dare use any Fire Style Ninjutsu, as that required hand seals. No matter how fast his seals were, they couldn't be faster than the Body Flicker Jutsu of the two Elite Jōnin behind him. So, he threw the kunai in his hand directly at the opponent, then vanished instantly, reappearing far away.
Distance always gives people a sense of security. Although he didn't understand why the enemy had suddenly retreated so far, the Chūnin instinctively sighed in relief. He turned to dodge the incoming kunai. But in that instant, he felt the wind pressure behind him change. It was too late to turn his head. A sharp pain pierced his heart, and he fell to the ground. His last glance was toward the distance, where Xuan had just been standing. There was no one there now.
Ding! [Killed an Akikaze Clan Chūnin. Reward: 1,000 Points.]
"I'm going to kill you!"
The Elite Jōnin roared and charged instantly, veins bulging on his right hand as he gripped his sword. Humiliation. Absolute humiliation. Under the siege of two Elite Jōnin, the opponent had actually managed to kill four Chūnin right under their noses. This was a shame that could never be washed away.
Bang! Sword energy slashed through Xuan's position, cutting through the fence of a distant stockade and leaving a deep fissure along the ground.
"If you want to kill me, you can't just rely on your mouth, weakling!"
Xuan appeared on top of another thatched hut, his face full of mockery. His tone was enough to make anyone, even a stranger, want to stab him.
"Die!"
The other Elite Jōnin appeared behind Xuan. The thatched hut was shattered by a slash, but it still didn't harm a hair on Xuan's head.
The three returned to their previous game of cat and mouse. From a distance, it looked like a flash of light intertwining with two black shadows.
Standing on the hill, Hyuga Tamamo bit her thumb even harder. Her eyes darted back and forth between the spot where the last Chūnin died and where Xuan had stood before. Her mind replayed his initial act of scattering kunai all over the ground and his recent action of throwing his kunai...
"I think I know the activation condition for his Ninjutsu," Hyuga Tamamo said calmly, lowering her hand.
