Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Exterminating the Rogue Ninjas
Seeing Ryujiro's slash, the rogue ninjas were terrified out of their wits, losing all will to fight.
They dropped their weapons and turned to flee without looking back.
Ryujiro chuckled softly, "Do you think you can escape?"
Hado #73. Soren Sokatsui!
Even without the incantation, the power of the Twin Lotus Blue Fire, Crash Down in Ryujiro's hands was undiminished.
Two crimson flames roared like fierce beasts, exploding with massive firelight and scorching heat that enveloped the area.
"Sizzle—"
The nearby pools of water evaporated completely, turning the entire region misty.
The heat was unbearable for any human. They didn't even have the chance to react.
This instantaneous attack to a ninjutsu without seals. There was no way they could respond.
Under the searing flames, the rogue ninjas turned into charred remains, leaving behind a smell of burnt flesh mixed with the stench of blood in the air.
Ryujiro merely frowned slightly at the sight, unfazed.
However, Naruto was an exception.
He knelt on the ground, hands supporting himself, as if he was about to vomit the bile from his stomach.
Naruto had killed ninjas before, but he had never witnessed such a terrifying scene.
"Ryujiro, aren't you too cruel?" Naruto's face was pale, and his voice trembled as he spoke.
Ryujiro sneered, his disdainful tone unmasked. "Cruel?"
"Naruto, in the world of shinobis, there is no such word as cruel. It's either kill or be killed."
"You hesitated to kill these rogue ninjas just now?"
"If I weren't here, you would have already died by their blades. Mercy towards the enemy is cruelty to yourself."
"If you continue with this mindset, you won't survive long on the battlefield."
Naruto trembled all over, clenching his fists in unwillingness.
"Ryujiro, can't the conflicts in this world ever end?"
"Why can't everyone live in peace?"
Ryujiro looked at Naruto calmly. "Because we are human."
"Humans have emotions and desires. All disasters and misfortunes stem from these desires."
"Conflict is unavoidable."
In Naruto's ideal world, he hoped for a world without wars, where everyone could coexist peacefully.
But this was almost impossible.
The great nations distrusted each other and could never truly cooperate, while the smaller nations had no choice but to seek protection from the great nations.
And when the war would break out, the small nations would become the battlegrounds and get destroyed completely.
Watching the hesitant Naruto, Ryujiro shook his head.
Naruto's mindset had to change.
While peace in this world wasn't impossible, it required Konoha to unify it.
During the era of the First Hokage, Konoha had the potential to unify the entire shinobi world, but the First Hokage lacked the ambition.
During his lifetime, the shinobi world had brief peace due to fear of his power.
After his fall, the four great nations united to wage war against Konoha.
Though Konoha emerged victorious, it suffered heavy casualties.
War is brutal. The world must be unified, and only Konoha could achieve that.
Ryujiro's eyes deepened as he gazed into the distance.
In the tent.
A rogue ninja covered in blood burst in.
"Boss, it's bad news! Konoha ninjas are here!"
"Our comrades, they are all dead!"
The rogue ninjas who had been drinking in the tent were stunned, their smiles turning to expressions of fear.
Even Keita's face showed a hint of dread.
Konoha Village!
Even though Konoha's strength wasn't what it once was, it still held the title of the strongest ninja village.
And Konoha ninjas arriving here so quickly was unexpected for them.
"Damn it, we should have broken through the defense line of the Land of Flowers a few days ago."
"How many Konoha ninjas are there?"
"Two."
"What?!"
"Only two?"
"Are they both Jonin?!"
Keita glared at the rogue ninja, asking fiercely.
The rogue ninja from Iwagakure lowered his head and whispered, "No, they're two brats."
"Bang—"
Keita threw his wine cup, realizing it was just two brats from Konoha.
"A bunch of idiots! Cowards!"
"Scared by just some brats?"
"Pathetic."
"I'll see how tough these Konoha brats really are!"
Keita shoved the rogue ninja to the ground. Everyone in the tent looked at the rogue ninja with disdain.
Coward, scared by just some brats.
The rogue ninja curled up, trembling with fear, mumbling, "You don't understand. They're not ordinary kids."
Keita and the rogue ninjas stepped out of the tent, their eyes shrinking to pinpoints at the sight.
The camps they had set up were all destroyed. The air was thick with the smell of blood.
Everywhere they looked, there were severed limbs and flesh.
These people had all been cut down by a blade!
Keita's gaze turned serious as he looked at the two figures.
One of them was still a Genin?
"Tch!"
"A bunch of useless trash."
Keita quickly formed hand seals, mobilizing a large amount of chakra.
"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!"
A massive water dragon formed behind him, much larger than usual, reflecting his Jonin-level chakra.
The dragon's menacing head roared as it rushed towards Ryujiro and Naruto.
Bakudo #81. Danku
A transparent barrier suddenly appeared before Ryujiro.
The water dragon struck it and exploded, drenching the surroundings as if it were raining.
"What?!"
"My Water Dragon Jutsu didn't work."
Keita's expression changed. He gritted his teeth and formed more seals.
"Water Style: Great Waterfall Jutsu!"
A torrent of water burst from Keita's mouth, flooding the area.
Ryujiro remained unfazed.
A reddish black slash erupted, cutting through the water torrent.
The slash carried a suffocating aura, instilling fear and the threat of death in Keita and the rogue ninjas. It was infused with Ryujiro's Conqueror's Haki.
A flying slash!
Could this guy be Konoha's swordsmanship prodigy!?
"Run!"
Keita didn't hesitate, shouting as he turned to flee.
The rogue ninjas who failed to react were caught in the slash, torn to pieces.
Keita glanced back, relieved that no one was pursuing him.
But in the next moment, Ryujiro appeared before him in a flash step, swinging his blade down!
Splat!
A head flew off, blood spraying everywhere, rolling like a gourd on the ground.
His eyes lost their light, filled with unwillingness.
The rogue ninjas were all exterminated.
