"Amegakure's demon brat! Die for me!"
The Sand Ninja's voice was hoarse and broken.
The Kunai in his hand stabbed fiercely towards Shiratori Rin's neck.
The air in front of Shiratori Rin instantly crumpled like a canvas being kneaded by an invisible hand.
A viscous purple Uzumaki appeared out of thin air!
Time seemed to stretch at this moment.
A hand slowly extended from the center of the Uzumaki.
It was a hand covered in irregular stitches.
This hand landed directly on the Sand Ninja's head.
A figure, or more precisely, a being with a "human form," slowly revealed its full silhouette from the deep purple Uzumaki.
He looked like a pale, thin youth, with messy, light blue-grey long hair sticking up.
On that face, which should have belonged to a human youth, centipede-like stitches ran across his entire face, as if roughly sewing a face together.
His pupils expanded with excitement, devoid of any tyrannical killing intent, only a pure, chilling, childlike wonder and joy.
"Can I kill him?"
Immortal Master tilted his head innocently towards Shiratori Rin.
"Of course, anyone with this mark on their head can be killed."
Shiratori Rin pointed at the Sand Ninja's forehead protector.
"That's great!"
Immortal Master chuckled.
"Ding!"
"The System detected Sand Ninja A's fear value +5000."
"Your Cursed Spirit Hanami's Rank has increased to 34%."
The Sand Ninja's movements froze.
All the blood in his body seemed to be frozen.
A terrifying grip seized him.
He couldn't even turn his eyeballs to look at the owner of that hand.
"Oh… how interesting a Soul is collapsing…"
Immortal Master's face held a pure joy, like a child discovering a new toy.
The next second.
Boom—
There was no earth-shattering roar, only a dull burst.
Like a ripe watermelon being smashed onto the floor with full force by a mischievous child.
The Sand Ninja's head exploded without warning!
Red, white…
Violently splattering!
Shiratori Rin was numb.
"…"
He took a deep breath, grateful that Rika had increased his tolerance limit.
Immortal Master tilted his head slightly, letting the red and white mixture slowly slide down his cheek.
He raised the hand that had just exploded the head and was covered in blood, brought it to his eyes, and examined it with interest.
"So interesting!"
Immortal Master's voice trembled with excitement.
His pupils sparkled on his blood-stained face.
"If it's interesting, go play!"
Shiratori Rin urged, waving at Immortal Master.
Anyway, the emotions the Sand Ninjas generated towards Immortal Master would also be fed back to Shiratori Rin.
Shiratori Rin felt that Immortal Master must be a Genius in collecting emotional value.
Immortal Master showed an extremely satisfied smile.
He leaped high, letting out a cheer in the air, his gaze searching the ruins for humans with special markings.
Ah!
Found him!
Immortal Master's pupils shimmered with sparkling light, and he suddenly appeared in front of a Sand Ninja: "Hi! Hello!"
The Sand Ninja was stunned.
Immortal Master's hand brushed over the Sand Ninja's arm.
Boom—
Explosions followed one after another.
"Ding!"
"The System detected Sand Ninja B's fear value +3000."
"Ding!"
"The System detected Sand Ninja C's fear value +3000."
"Your Cursed Spirit Hanami's Rank has increased to 40%."
With such uniform fear values, Shiratori Rin knew without thinking that Immortal Master had created another grand scene.
"Ding!"
"The System detected Sand Ninja D's killing intent value +3000."
"Your Cursed Spirit Ryomen Sukuna's Rank has increased to 58.6%."
The System's prompt sounded in Shiratori Rin's mind.
At the same time, a sharp gust of wind suddenly erupted from the shadow behind Shiratori Rin without warning.
The target was Shiratori Rin's back!
Boom—
A poisoned Kunai fiercely stabbed into the long sword in Shiratori Rin's hand.
The Kunai scraped across the blade of the long sword, producing a shower of sparks and a sharp metallic screech.
The Sand Ninja was lean, with a black mask on his face, and his exposed eyes flickered with a venomous chill like a snake.
A hint of surprise flashed quickly in his pupils.
He hadn't expected this brat who raised monsters to be able to block his sneak attack!
The Sand Ninja reacted swiftly, twisting his wrist, and the Kunai suddenly stabbed towards Shiratori Rin's neck from another direction.
Crisp, dense clanging of metal exploded like a sudden downpour.
The Sand Ninja's pupils constricted; his attacks had all been neutralized by the brat in front of him!
How was this possible?
The more the Sand Ninja fought, the more his heart trembled with fear!
This brat's Taijutsu and swordsmanship were nothing like a child's!
Even more terrifying, he was learning during the battle!
His sword became faster and faster, dazzling the Sand Ninja.
If this continued, this brat's Taijutsu would only get stronger. Realizing this, the Sand Ninja suddenly leaped back to create distance, instantly forming hand signs with both hands.
Chakra furiously gathered in his mouth, and the surrounding air instantly became dry and scorching hot.
He had to kill this brat completely here!
He absolutely could not allow the monster of Amegakure to continue growing!
"Ding!"
"The System detected Sand Ninja D's killing intent value +3000."
"Your Cursed Spirit Ryomen Sukuna's Rank has increased to 58.9%."
"Fire Release: Fireball Jutsu!"
A scorching, gigantic orange-red fireball, carrying high temperatures that distorted the air, roared as it tore through the air, shooting towards Shiratori Rin.
Before the fireball arrived, the scorching heatwave already assaulted him, and the space in front of Shiratori Rin was distorted by the heat.
Shiratori Rin suddenly thrust his long sword back into its scabbard at his waist, rapidly forming hand signs: "Water Release: Great Waterfall Jutsu!"
Waves suddenly surged at his feet.
Giant waves rolled up, like a waterfall descending from the sky, blocking Shiratori Rin's path.
Boom—
The fireball collided with the waterfall.
Thick white mist instantly engulfed Shiratori Rin and the Sand Ninja's figures.
The Sand Ninja's figure moved rapidly through the mist.
He sped towards the figure standing motionless in the mist.
A hint of mockery flashed in the Sand Ninja's eyes.
So what if he was a Genius?
The gap in battle experience could not be bridged even by a Genius!
In the blink of an eye, the Sand Ninja arrived in front of Shiratori Rin.
A gleam of killing intent burst from his eyes.
He raised the Kunai in his hand high and stabbed towards Shiratori Rin's neck.
The Sand Ninja's vision blurred, and a visible, eerie white cold Qi blew out from Shiratori Rin's mouth.
The air seemed to freeze.
A thin layer of white frost instantly condensed on the Kunai in the Sand Ninja's hand.
The white frost spread rapidly, climbing from the Kunai onto the Sand Ninja's hand, and then extending from his hand to his cheek.
The Sand Ninja's eyes widened, staring intently at Shiratori Rin.
"Ding!"
"The System detected Sand Ninja D's hatred value +3000."
"Your Cursed Spirit Immortal Master's Rank has increased to 26%."
White frost covered the Sand Ninja's eyeballs.
The Sand Ninja's blood congealed, and his heart slowly stopped beating.
The mist was quickly dispersed by the strong winds of the desert, and Shiratori Rin turned around, a scene of chaos appearing before his eyes.
