Chapter 58: Anbu Clash
Anbu, a special department independent of the regular ninja system, was directly under the Hokage's command. They often handled assassination and intelligence tasks, specializing in sabotage behind enemy lines. The Anbu's methods were tough and ruthless. To complete their missions, they operated without any moral constraints. The Anbu of different ninja villages frequently encountered each other, leading to deep-seated blood feuds.
On the battlefield, a dozen Cloud Village Anbu spotted Kazuya and their eyes instantly turned red with rage.
"It's Konoha's Anbu!"
"Only three of them!"
"Attack! Kill them!"
"We outnumber them! Let's go!"
With bloodthirsty fervor, the twelve Cloud Anbu charged at Kazuya and his team. Uzuki Yugao scoffed, "Captain, why do Cloud Anbu always seem so ordinary yet so confident?"
Facing the incoming Cloud Anbu, Yugao wasn't afraid. She trusted her captain, Kazuya, implicitly. Kazuya, the man who had fought Orochimaru to a standstill, was a force to be reckoned with. Her eyes sparkled with admiration as she prepared for the fight.
Kazuya was slightly taken aback. "Yugao usually seems so demure, but she has quite the fighting spirit," he thought.
The Cloud Anbu had closed to within a hundred meters. "Time to get active," Kazuya muttered, his fingers itching for action after observing the battle for so long.
"Kill! Kill Konoha Anbu!" the Cloud Anbu screamed as they rushed forward.
In an instant, Kazuya disappeared from view. He reappeared in the midst of the Cloud Anbu, his speed blinding. The lead Cloud Anbu barely registered a flash of white light before he was sent flying by a powerful blow.
Boom!
With a single strike, Kazuya's immense strength, enhanced by his chakra, obliterated the Cloud Anbu.
"What!??" The remaining Cloud Anbu were stunned. Their teammate had been torn apart in an instant, and they hadn't even seen Kazuya move.
The Cloud Anbu leader gritted his teeth. "This Konoha Anbu is not ordinary. Focus on him!"
His hands formed seals rapidly. "Lightning Style: Thunderbolt!"
Lightning crackled from his hands, but Kazuya remained calm, watching the golden lights fly toward him.
[You picked up 100 Chakra points]
[You picked up 150 Chakra points]
[You picked up 50 points of Lightning Style talent]
Kazuya smiled approvingly. "These Anbu aren't bad," he thought, appreciating the boost in chakra and skills he was gaining.
He dodged the incoming attacks with ease, his movements fluid and precise. The Cloud Anbu leader yelled, "Keep your distance! Use ninjutsu to take him down!"
Lightning flashed across the battlefield as the Cloud Anbu unleashed a barrage of ninjutsu. Kazuya deftly avoided each strike, his white mask gleaming in the storm of attacks.
[You picked up 50 points of Lightning Style talent]
[Your Lightning Style talent has been upgraded to full level Lv5, reward: S-rank Lightning Style jutsu Kirin (perfect version)]
Kazuya's eyes gleamed. His Lightning Style talent was now at its peak, and he had gained the perfect version of Kirin, a devastatingly powerful jutsu.
"Yes..." Kazuya whispered, a smile playing on his lips. The time for collecting experience was over.
In a blur, Kazuya moved. He struck two Cloud Anbu with such speed and force that they were rendered unconscious instantly. Two more fell before they could react. The battlefield was a scene of chaos as Kazuya decimated his opponents.
In less than twenty seconds, most of the Cloud Anbu lay defeated.
"Why is this happening!?" The remaining Cloud Anbu leader's voice shook with fear. The gap in their strength was too great. Who was this Konoha Anbu?
Before he could comprehend his fate, Kazuya appeared before him and struck him down with a single blow, leaving him alive for interrogation.
"Deal with him and take him back for questioning," Kazuya ordered, his voice calm and commanding.
"Yes, Captain!" Kurenai and Yugao responded, kneeling on one knee.
They looked at Kazuya with unabashed admiration. He was incredibly powerful, and the Cloud Anbu were no match for him.
Kazuya's gaze shifted to the center of the battlefield. There, Uchiha Shisui was locked in an intense battle with the Two-Tails Jinchuriki. The fight was reaching its peak, and Kazuya's attention was drawn to the clash of titans.
