"What?" Sarutobi Muraki looked at the suddenly stronger Hayami in confusion and asked vigilantly, "What did you do?"
"Hahaha, what do you think! I've gained power! It's wonderful, is this the power Lord Orochimaru spoke of? Hahahahaha."
"Orochimaru?" Sarutobi Muraki's expression turned grim. He knew that anything associated with Orochimaru would become troublesome.
Hayami punched at Sarutobi Muraki, who immediately dodged.
"Boom!" A deep pit was created in the ground by Hayami's punch.
"Ah! He's become so much stronger!" Sarutobi Muraki looked at Hayami, who was fighting him, in disbelief. Seeing Hayami attack again, he didn't dare to be careless and cautiously engaged him in combat. This time, the two were evenly matched.
Hayami's strength had become incredibly immense, and his speed was many times faster, making it difficult even for Sarutobi Muraki.
"I hope nothing unexpected happens over there, it's a good thing I left a Shadow Clone there." Sarutobi Muraki thought of the information transmitted by his Shadow Clone, and he couldn't help but worry.
Meanwhile, Izumi was wielding the man's large sword, constantly swinging it, not noticing the subtle movements of the three.
The awakened person woke up the other two, and after a brief discussion, all three bit down on the pills in their mouths.
"Haa!" The three combined their strength to break free from the ropes and were still constantly changing.
Everyone, including Sarutobi Muraki's Shadow Clone, couldn't help but look at them in shock.
"Wow! Their clothes exploded!"
They all became incredibly muscular and bulky, with powerful muscles all over their bodies. Their size had increased many times over, and each of them exuded a powerful, violent aura.
"Huh? What's going on?" Yamamoto Kawa asked loudly, "What happened?"
Then, three of them quickly vanished from their original spots and attacked the crowd.
"So fast!" Izumi, who was closest, immediately raised her arm to block, but because they were too close and their speed was too fast, Izumi's arm hadn't even fully come up when the punch landed.
The big, burly man from before had not only become much stronger, but his speed had also increased by many times.
Izumi was punched in the abdomen, her face contorted, and her mouth wide open.
"Bang!" Izumi was sent flying, crashing into a tree.
"Ah!"
Fortunately, Sarutobi Muraki's Shadow Clone blocked the other two Ninja, preventing Yamamoto Kawa and Akimichi Jiro from being injured.
Izumi got up from the ground, and seeing this scene, she cursed inwardly, "Damn it, it hurts so much, why don't you help me! Don't just save those two, damn it."
Izumi wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, clutching her stomach and groaning.
"Fortunately, my body reacted slightly and absorbed some of the force, otherwise, that would have been really bad. What's going on?"
Izumi looked at her opponent in confusion. Under the gaze of her Sharingan, she had already understood his physical condition.
His Chakra had become extremely abundant and was circulating at an incredibly fast rate, but it was consuming his life force.
"He's on drugs, so that means if I can just hold out for a while, he'll be incapacitated. But…" Izumi snorted coldly, looking at Sarutobi Muraki's Shadow Clone, who was fighting two others. She smiled, "Perfect, I'll try my best too."
The two figures instantly disappeared. At that moment, Izumi saw him punch at her, so she dodged to the side. Her hands grabbed the man's arm, and then, following the direction of his force, she pulled him fiercely in the direction of his punch.
The man lost his footing and instantly flew forward.
Izumi's elbow struck him hard in the abdomen.
"Ah!" The man screamed. A normal person would have died long ago, but under the influence of the drug, he still stood up. At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot, his body covered in grotesque veins, and blood flowed from his facial features, making him look terrifying. He quickly attacked Izumi again.
"He's still not dead." Izumi sneered, and she too quickly rushed towards him.
Izumi dodged his attack, then punched him in the chest.
But the man remained as if nothing had happened.
Izumi manipulated a large amount of elastic cloth from her body to wrap around the man. The man struggled with all his might, tearing at the cloth with his hands, but he couldn't break free from the elastic fabric.
"This is called 'using softness to overcome hardness,' understand? I'll use this move to finish you off."
"Hmph hmph." Izumi sneered, then snapped her fingers.
Immediately, a large number of hidden sealing talismans appeared on the special cloth, inscribed with the words "Fire" and "Oil."
Izumi unleashed the seals, and a large amount of oil and flames immediately enveloped the man along with the cloth, burning on his body.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!" This time, the man finally screamed, constantly destroying the surrounding trees, rolling and struggling on the ground, until he gradually lost strength and became a dried corpse.
Izumi said with a triumphant smile, "Who said Fire Release can't kill people? Hmph."
Meanwhile, on Sarutobi Muraki's Shadow Clone's side, because the two Ninja were not as physically strong as the Ninja Izumi fought, the effect of the drug lasted for a shorter time, and its potency had worn off.
Their bodies instantly shriveled, becoming skin and bones, and finally they collapsed to the ground, weakly crying for help, for help.
Izumi, clutching her stomach, limped over to Yamamoto Kawa.
Seeing this, Yamamoto Kawa immediately ran over to support Izumi and helped her sit down.
Sarutobi Muraki's Shadow Clone saw Izumi return unharmed and said in surprise, "Izumi, that's great, I was just thinking of going to support you."
Izumi gave him a speechless look and said, "Sensei, by the time you got to me, I would have been long gone. Fortunately, I stalled until the drug's effects weakened and burned him to death."
"Hahaha. Is that so? But I believed you could handle it." Sarutobi Muraki laughed awkwardly.
Sarutobi Muraki arranged the enemies' bodies in a row and contacted the client.
The client immediately brought the villagers over.
Upon seeing some of the bodies, several villagers immediately threw themselves onto them in grief, crying loudly.
Izumi looked at the schadenfreude on the faces of the people around her and guessed what was happening.
Yamamoto Kawa and Akimichi Jiro were a bit confused and asked, "What's wrong with them?"
The client sneered, "Their sons colluded with those Ninja to oppress us, they deserve it!"
"That's right, they deserve it."
The villagers also laughed with schadenfreude.
A crying mother shouted in indignation, "My son was so good to you all, he even protected you, and used Ninjutsu to help you build houses and hunt to feed you! You're just jealous of him because he learned Ninjutsu and became a Ninja! You killed my son, I'll fight you all!"
Seeing the woman about to hit them, the villagers immediately surrounded her and swarmed her, hitting her repeatedly.
Sarutobi Muraki immediately pulled them apart, then, with a grim expression, helped the injured person treat their wounds.
But the injured person pushed Sarutobi Muraki away and cried out, returning to the village.
The villagers continued to gloat, "They deserve it, now their sons are all dead."
