Facing the storm-like Lightning Release Ninjutsu, Renye moved through the lightning like a ghost, his Three-Tomoe Sharingan precisely capturing the trajectory of every attack.
He easily dodged the Lightning Release attacks with his powerful Body Flicker Technique.
It's worth noting that Renye had diligently practiced his Body Flicker Technique for several years, which allowed him to use a low-tier version of Flying Thunder God Slash.
Although he had been studying the authentic Flying Thunder God during this time, his practice of the Body Flicker Technique had not fallen behind.
In case he couldn't master the Flying Thunder God Technique, he could still use the low-tier Flying Thunder God Slash with his Body Flicker Technique.
This would still allow him to achieve unexpected results in battle.
Coupled with the poison applied to the Tachi, the success rate of a fatal blow was quite high.
Renye's Body Flicker Technique, in the eyes of the two Hidden Cloud Jonin, was simply ghostly; they couldn't even clearly see where he was.
"It's useless," Renye's voice came from all directions. "Your hand seals and attack speed are as slow as snails in my eyes."
"Damn it, if you have the guts, stop flickering around!"
This kind of battle, where they didn't know where the enemy was, made them feel incredibly frustrated and powerless.
To prevent sneak attacks, the two could only continuously release Ninjutsu around them, hoping to force Renye out.
Unfortunately, their attacks had no effect whatsoever.
Danzo Shimura, watching from a distance, couldn't help but exclaim, "Renye's Body Flicker Technique is getting stronger and stronger."
Utatane Koharu nodded in agreement. "It seems Renye-kun doesn't need our help anymore."
Danzo Shimura narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Renye is starting his counterattack."
Upon hearing this, Utatane Koharu quickly looked towards the center of the battlefield.
Renye had appeared behind a Jonin at some unknown point, his Tachi aiming straight for the back of his heart!
If this blow landed, the opponent would surely die.
"Clang—!"
At the critical moment, the leading Jonin blocked Renye's sneak attack with his Lightning Blade, sending sparks flying.
"Got you!" The leader sneered, his left hand quickly forming a hand seal: "Lightning Release: Lightning Bind!"
Renye's eyes flashed with surprise at this sight; he hadn't expected this Jonin to be able to perform hand seals with one hand.
At this moment, he was still in his original attacking posture, and facing the rapidly flying chains, he had no time to dodge.
The lightning-transformed chains tightly bound Renye.
"Hahaha, I finally caught you!" The leader burst into laughter.
In his opinion, the Konoha Ninja in front of him had only managed to kill a few comrades by relying on his powerful Body Flicker Technique and the poison on his blade, taking them by surprise.
Now that he was caught, he was just a lamb to the slaughter.
"Hahaha—" Renye also started to laugh.
The leader's smile immediately froze. He looked at Renye with a puzzled expression, wondering what on earth this guy was laughing about.
But soon, he knew the answer.
Renye stopped laughing, the corners of his mouth curving slightly upwards.
"Are you sure… you caught me?"
"What?!"
The "Renye" wrapped in lightning chains dissipated into smoke.
The Shadow Clone performed well in battle; it didn't cause any trouble for the original body.
...
"No, it's a Shadow Clone!" The Jonin suddenly showed a terrified expression, as if he had seen something horrifying.
He shouted loudly to the leader, "Captain, watch your back!"
Hearing his comrade's warning, the leader's face suddenly changed, and he thought to himself, 'This isn't good.'
Before he could even react, a sharp blade appeared in his chest.
The leader's eyes widened, looking in disbelief at the blade tip that had pierced through his body.
"This is my self-created… Shadow Dance Slash…"
Renye's voice came from behind him, devoid of any emotion, "Rest in peace."
"Pfft—"
Renye pulled out the Tachi that had pierced the leader's body. The opponent fell straight to the ground, his face still holding the shock from before his death.
"Monster… This guy is a monster!"
Witnessing all his comrades die before his eyes, the remaining Jonin completely broke down.
Just one person had killed four comrades.
Among them, two were Jonin; this terrifying strength was absolutely monstrous!
Escape! I must take this information back!
The appearance of a powerful Uchiha on the battlefield must be reported to Raikage-sama.
The sole remaining Hidden Cloud Jonin turned and fled without hesitation.
To run faster, he even used Lightning Release Chakra to stimulate his body, as if doing so would allow him to successfully escape…
Looking at the distant figure of the Kumogakure Ninja, Renye whispered, "It's been a long time since I used that move."
As he spoke, shimmering arcs of electricity appeared around him. He slowly raised his Tachi, its tip pointing directly at the Hidden Cloud Jonin's back.
"Whoosh—"
Renye gathered Lightning Release Chakra at the soles of his feet and used the Body Flicker Technique to disappear from his spot.
This was precisely the 【Low-Tier Flying Thunder God Slash】 that Renye had researched himself!
The Hidden Cloud Jonin, who was frantically fleeing for his life, heard the sound of air being torn behind him.
Before he could even react to what had happened, his body was pierced by a Tachi, and the Lightning Release Chakra condensed on his body instantly dissipated.
Looking at the sharp blade in his chest, a trace of unwillingness flashed in the Hidden Cloud Jonin's eyes.
He hadn't even managed to send the information back yet.
"Trying to leave?" Renye sheathed his Tachi. "Did you ask my blade?"
Unfortunately, the Hidden Cloud Jonin could no longer answer that question; he had already become a corpse.
The battle ended in less than five minutes, with the Lian Ye Squad achieving a complete victory.
It's likely that even if you beat the First Raikage to death, he wouldn't have imagined that his personally formed "Raikou" squad would be completely wiped out on their very first mission.
Renye looked at the corpses on the ground, his Three-Tomoe Sharingan slowly fading, returning to his pitch-black eyes.
Danzo approached Renye and whispered, "Your Body Flicker Technique is getting stronger and stronger."
"Isn't that obvious? It's not like it's getting weaker, is it?" Renye glanced at Danzo, annoyed.
Wasn't this guy stating the obvious?
After practicing the Body Flicker Technique for so long, it would be strange if it weren't strong.
Danzo hadn't expected Renye to respond this way and was clearly taken aback.
He had finally managed to praise the other person, only to receive such a response.
It seemed it was better not to praise people easily in the future.
Especially that guy Renye!
Renye didn't know what kind of damage his casual remark had caused to Danzo's inner feelings.
In fact, even if he did know, he wouldn't care.
...
"Renye-kun, how should we handle their bodies?" Utatane Koharu asked.
She wasn't asking about the Kumogakure Ninja's bodies, but rather the five Konoha Ninja's bodies.
Renye looked at the corpses not far away and said softly, "Bury them on the spot."
The two nodded, without any objection.
Under these circumstances, they couldn't transport the bodies back to the camp.
It would be time-consuming and laborious, and there would be no point.
They were already dead, so burying them directly was fine.
Danzo Shimura and Utatane Koharu performed hand seals, using Ninjutsu to blast a large pit in the ground, placed the Konoha Ninja's bodies inside, and then covered them with earth.
"Continue forward."
After doing all this, Renye didn't linger, leading the two towards the battlefield.
The three moved quickly through the forest, faintly hearing the sounds of battle in the distance.
