Boom—
A terrifying chakra exploded outward, mixed with the fierce gusts of wind from the impact, spreading in all directions.
But behind this invisible barrier, Genya stood tall and unshaken, completely unaffected.
Instead, he gave a smile—one that seemed to mock Killer B's helplessness!
Even though Killer B stood there, he couldn't land a single hit on him!
What? Did he block it?
Killer B's eyes widened in disbelief. He had almost unleashed his full power just now—his punch could have easily smashed through a small mountain.
But Genya stopped it.
What is going on here?
"Is that all your strength?" Genya's voice rang out, then he shouted fiercely, "You're still lacking! I can not even be shaken!"
If he couldn't be shaken, then there was no way Killer B could defeat him!
As Genya's voice fell, a force rebounded from the barrier, pushing Killer B back three meters.
Killer B staggered backward, steadying himself. "Damn it, how are you so strong? You actually blocked my attack!"
His face was full of disbelief, still reeling from the shock.
A child had blocked his attack.
"Genya, are you alright?" Kurenai stood and hurried over, checking for injuries.
Seeing that Genya was unharmed, she calmed down and asked, "What just happened? How did you manage to block Killer B's attack?"
"Teacher, I told you—while I'm here, I'll make sure you all return safely to Konoha!" Genya smiled at Kurenai.
When Kurenai saw that smile, an unexplainable calm settled in her heart.
"Who said you could help me? What about Hinata and the others?" Suddenly, Kurenai's mind raced to Hinata and Shino Aburame. "Go help them! I'll hold Killer B back!"
As she spoke, her gaze flicked toward Hinata's direction. She recalled seeing Shino being knocked away.
If Genya came to help her, then Hinata and Shino would be in danger.
Hinata's side!
There were still more than a dozen shinobi from the Cloud Village surrounding the two, but for some reason, those Cloud ninjas surrounding Hinata suddenly stopped moving.
Like statues, they stood motionless in place.
A gentle breeze blew by.
Thud... thud... thud...
With the breeze passing, the Cloud ninjas who had been standing still suddenly collapsed to the ground.
Blood poured from their necks, staining a large part of the ground red.
Hinata and Shino Aburame, leaning against each other, showed shocked expressions.
Clearly, they hadn't expected this—the Cloud shinobi attacking them were all dead. All of them.
What?
Not only Hinata and Shino were shocked, but also Hideki and Darui, who had just come to their senses, looked over in disbelief.
No—it wasn't just disbelief; it was terror!
Moments ago, they were curious about how Uchiha Genya appeared near Killer B's side, but in an instant, the dozen Cloud shinobi attacking Genya were all wiped out!
It was terrifying.
Their bodies started to feel cold—from their hands and feet to their heads, then their entire bodies.
To silently kill more than a dozen Cloud Jonin like this—this was no ordinary method.
"Hideki, what just happened?" Darui asked, looking at the dozen fallen ninjas. "Am I still in an illusion?"
He had just regained consciousness from a genjutsu and felt dizzy, still doubting if he was trapped in a dream.
He dared not act rashly.
Otherwise, he would have rushed over to check the bodies already.
"You're not under genjutsu. Just now, all of our dozen Cloud shinobi were killed," Hideki swallowed hard, his voice filled with disbelief.
There was no genjutsu and no clue how those people died.
But the dozen Cloud Jonin were indeed killed—and it happened in an instant.
"How is this possible?" Darui rubbed his eyes again, disbelief heavy in his voice.
"Hideki, you must be trapped in an illusion too. What kind of person can kill more than a dozen Cloud Jonin in an instant?"
Darui still refused to believe what he was seeing. His tone grew serious, and he even started doubting Hideki's words.
So, he wanted to personally go over and check the bodies of his Cloud Hidden comrades. But the moment he moved, Hideki grabbed him.
"Don't go!"
"Hideki, why are you stopping me?" Darui turned back, his eyes now burning red with anger.
He stared fiercely at Hideki, his mind clouded by rage. Those ninjas were his comrades. He simply couldn't accept that his teammates had died just like that.
No way.
"You can't go over there. It's dangerous!" Hideki held Darui back firmly, his voice stern.
If something could so easily kill more than a dozen ninja, the danger was still present. Even if Darui was strong, going closer would only mean death.
"Hmph. Then I want to see exactly what attacked them!" Darui's reason seemed lost to madness. Hideki's warning fell on deaf ears—he simply wouldn't listen.
Smack!
A crisp slap echoed in the otherwise silent forest.
Then came Hideki's angry voice: "I told you to be quiet and wait. Do you really think rushing over will save them?"
"You idiot. If you go now, you're very likely to die for nothing!"
Hideki shouted at the irrational Darui, scolding him hard to snap him out of his madness.
While speaking, Hideki's eyes glanced toward Genya's direction. His gaze turned serious—no, even fearful.
No wonder Genya was so calm when talking with them, even when surrounded. This was his trump card—the technique that could even block Killer B's attacks. That proved everything.
"Fools, idiots, fools... Don't act recklessly anymore. Wait until I finish here before you go deal with this!" Killer B, who also witnessed the ninjas' deaths, wanted to find out what caused this tragedy.
But the trouble before him seemed even more troublesome.
That Uchiha brat, Genya, was acting strange—he easily blocked Killer B's attacks, remained calm and collected, and clearly had even stronger techniques he hadn't yet shown.
When Killer B looked at Genya, the Eight-Tails inside him spoke heavily, "Killer B, you need to be careful. This Dual Pupil kid in front of you seems very strong. I faintly sense an overwhelming chakra, and that amount of chakra is even more terrifying than mine… It makes me feel danger!"
