In a certain forest in the Land of Birds.
Tian Yuan directly intercepted a Hidden Stone ninja who was trying to pursue Anko and the others. Here, Tian Yuan intended to kill them. He wouldn't let these three escape, whether for Anko's sake or his own.
"I didn't expect you to possess Chunin-level strength. Unbelievable. If you had abandoned your two teammates and fled alone, you might have survived. But to think you'd stay behind alone to face us, I commend your courage," a Hidden Stone ninja said with a savage grin. "Though it looks more like foolishness."
"Is that so? I stayed not just for my companions," Tian Yuan drew the kunai in his hand.
"What is that?" A Hidden Stone ninja was slightly startled.
"To kill all three of you." After speaking, Tian Yuan's figure vanished from his spot.
"Not good." The three Hidden Stone ninjas also drew their kunai.
Bang. A Hidden Stone ninja's kunai clashed with Tian Yuan's kunai. But what made the Hidden Stone ninja's expression change was that he found himself no match for the brat in taijutsu. How is that possible?
"Nothing's impossible." Tian Yuan's kunai directly knocked away the Hidden Stone ninja's kunai. Then, under the Hidden Stone ninja's astonished gaze, the kunai slashed across his neck. However, Tian Yuan showed no joy. The Hidden Stone ninja struck by his kunai directly turned into a puddle of mud and flowed away.
"Earth Release: Earth Clone."
"What a formidable brat. Your taijutsu is impressive, top-tier among Chunin." A Hidden Stone ninja, not far away, said with lingering fear. He had almost been killed just now.
"However, ninjas aren't just about taijutsu." This Hidden Stone ninja immediately began forming hand seals. The other two Hidden Stone ninjas also surrounded Tian Yuan. All three formed hand seals simultaneously, leaving Tian Yuan no possibility of evasion. No matter who he faced, he would have to endure the attacks of the other two.
"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet."
In front of the three Hidden Stone ninjas, a mud-shaped Earth Dragon appeared. This Earth Dragon opened its massive maw, spitting out countless mud bullets towards Tian Yuan. The mud bullets were like explosive arrows, countless of them surrounding Tian Yuan.
"Ninjutsu attack." Tian Yuan's eyes flashed coldly. He directly charged towards the Hidden Stone ninja he had just faced.
"Do you think physical strength can contend with ninjutsu?" The Hidden Stone ninja said savagely. "Die for me."
"Why not?" Tian Yuan's footsteps became even faster. At the same time, he rushed into the attack range of the Earth Dragon Bullet. "Armament Haki." Powerful Armament Haki permeated around Tian Yuan's body. After entering the Chunin state, Tian Yuan's taijutsu ability continuously increased, making his Armament Haki even stronger.
Bang, bang. The mud bullets directly engulfed Tian Yuan. Earth-yellow smoke and dust surged skyward, and the Hidden Stone ninja couldn't help but show a hint of a smile. Under such a massive ninjutsu attack, that Konoha brat should be dead.
"Not good." Just then, a figure directly burst out from the smoke and dust. His target was precisely that Hidden Stone ninja. With Tian Yuan's speed, he appeared in front of the Hidden Stone ninja in an instant.
"It's useless even if you dodged the attack." The Hidden Stone ninja sneered. As long as he blocked this brat's attack, his two companions would arrive in time, enough to help him out of trouble. From the previous confrontation, this Hidden Stone ninja realized one fact: one-on-one, he was no match for this brat. This made a jealous feeling rise in his heart.
"But killing a genius is always very satisfying." The Hidden Stone ninja attacked Tian Yuan with the kunai in his hand.
"Armament Haki, Hardening." The Hidden Stone ninja didn't notice Tian Yuan's arm directly turning black.
"Raijin." Countless powerful surges of chakra enveloped Tian Yuan's kunai. Then, Tian Yuan's kunai directly struck with a sharp force. Under the kunai's attack, the air itself made a tearing sound.
Bang. Tian Yuan's kunai directly knocked away the Hidden Stone ninja's kunai. Then, a powerful force sliced through the Hidden Stone ninja's head. Under the full power of Armament Haki and taijutsu, this veteran Hidden Stone ninja was no match for Tian Yuan's single blow.
The Hidden Stone ninja's head flew skyward from the attack. Massive amounts of blood sprayed from the head. The Hidden Stone ninja's body twitched, then heavily fell to the ground. This time, this Hidden Stone ninja was truly dead.
"How is that possible?" The other two Hidden Stone ninjas were stunned. In their minds, killing this Konoha ninja would be an easy feat, but now, a companion was directly killed by Tian Yuan in such a manner. And in such a cruel way, his head was directly severed.
"You deserve to die." The two Hidden Stone ninjas glared at Tian Yuan, their faces incredibly savage. Despite their overwhelming advantage, their comrade had been killed.
"Earth Release: Splitting Earth Palm." One Hidden Stone ninja formed hand seals and slammed his hands onto the ground in front of him. In an instant, the ground around Tian Yuan shattered. There was no possibility of evasion; he could only leap upwards.
"I've been waiting for you." Another Hidden Stone ninja sneered. His ninjutsu was also complete.
"Earth Release: Earth Stone Needles."
In front of the Hidden Stone ninja, countless earth-yellow needles formed directly. The densely packed needles gleamed with sharp light. This was like senbon made from ninjutsu. This time, Tian Yuan had nowhere to evade.
Whoosh, whoosh. Countless needles directly shot towards Tian Yuan, who was in mid-air. Tian Yuan's pupils contracted slightly, looking at this scene. His hand seals were incredibly fast. He placed his hands to his mouth, clearly forming a very familiar ninjutsu.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique."
An immense flame directly engulfed the needles. The needles, under the attack of the high-temperature flames, directly turned into ashes.
"Such speed." A Hidden Stone ninja's expression changed slightly, because Tian Yuan's ninjutsu casting speed was incredibly fast. Originally, in his mind, his Earth Stone Needles should have been able to kill Tian Yuan, but Tian Yuan's rapid hand seals allowed him to escape.
"It's useless." The other Hidden Stone ninja had already made his move.
"Earth Release: Earth Spear."
As Tian Yuan landed, an Earth Spear formed from the ground, then shot towards Tian Yuan like a huge crossbow.
