Shin didn’t bother hiding, so the Kiri scouts easily spotted him, especially with his Konoha forehead protector.
“A Konoha Shinobi? And just a kid? What’s he doing here?”
One of the scouts frowned.
“Let’s capture him.”
His partner was about to attack, but the first scout stopped him.
“Wait, this is suspicious. He could be a trap.”
“I might be young, but I don’t appreciate being called a ‘kid.’ Now, how do you want to die?”
Shin appeared before them in a flash, his Kusanagi sword pressed against one of their necks.
“How… how did you get here?”
The scouts’ eyes widened in fear. Shin had been a hundred meters away just a moment ago.
“Wrong answer.”
Shin swiftly beheaded them, then continued towards the Kiri camp.
The Third Mizukage soon received a report: a Konoha Shinobi had infiltrated their camp.
He frowned. A single Konoha Shinobi? Had he heard correctly?
“Mizukage-sama, he’s just a kid, but he’s strong. Many of our comrades have already fallen to his blade. Even the Kaguya Clan can’t stop him.”
“I’ll go see for myself.”
The Mizukage followed the messenger. He wanted to see who this intruder was.
He finally found Shin, but his expression changed when he saw the dozen corpses surrounding Shin.
Many Kiri Shinobi had gathered, but they were hesitant to attack. Those who had tried were now dead, including a Jōnin.
Shin had killed them all with a single blow. Even the Jōnin hadn’t been able to withstand a single strike.
It was clear that attacking Shin was suicide.
It was a comical sight: Shin, alone in the Kiri camp, surrounded by Kiri Shinobi, and yet they were afraid to attack him.
“Mizukage, we meet again.”
Shin greeted the Mizukage casually.
The Mizukage frowned. “Have we met before?”
“Perhaps you don’t recognize me, but you should recognize this mask.”
Shin pulled out his three-tomoe Sharingan mask. The Mizukage and the other Kiri Shinobi were stunned.
“Recognize me now?” Shin asked with a smirk.
“You’re the one who infiltrated our village and stole our Forbidden Scroll!!” the Mizukage said angrily.
“Stole? I took it right in front of you.”
“So you have our Forbidden Scroll?” The Mizukage’s eyes narrowed.
“Yes, but your Jutsu are all garbage. What a disappointment. Not a single one worth learning.”
Shin said with a sigh.
He wasn’t trying to insult them; he was simply stating the truth. The Kiri Forbidden Scroll had been a letdown.
Compared to Konoha’s Forbidden Scroll, it was nothing.
He was tempted to take a look at Konoha’s Forbidden Scroll. It contained many forbidden Jutsu, including the Edo Tensei.
He was quite interested in that Jutsu. And the scroll probably contained other Jutsu developed by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.
Tobirama might not have been a saint, but he was a genius, a master of Jutsu development.
“Kill him! Take back our Forbidden Scroll!” the Mizukage roared.
He charged at Shin, Kunai in hand.
“Didn’t you see what happened to the others? You still want to fight me?”
Shin’s sword flashed, too fast for anyone to see.
Even the Mizukage couldn’t see it, but he sensed the danger and used the Body Flicker Jutsu to dodge.
But even with his speed, he couldn’t avoid being injured. His Kunai was sliced in half, and a long gash appeared on his chest.
“Lucky you dodged. I would have cut you in two.” Shin sheathed his sword, looking at the Mizukage calmly.
“I was careless.”
The Mizukage turned serious. He had underestimated Shin due to his age.
But even if he was serious, he might not be able to dodge Shin’s attacks. Shin was simply too fast.
“Water Style: Great Waterfall Jutsu!”
Both Shin and the Mizukage used the same Jutsu, but the scale of their attacks was vastly different.
If the Mizukage’s was a ripple, Shin’s was a tsunami.
The two attacks collided. The Mizukage’s Jutsu was instantly dispersed, and the giant wave crashed towards him.
Even the other Kiri Shinobi were caught in the attack.
It took the combined efforts of dozens of Kiri Shinobi, including the Mizukage, to barely block Shin’s Jutsu.
“Damn it, how can a brat be this strong?” the Mizukage cursed.
Shin charged towards the Kiri Shinobi. He punched one of them, sending him flying. The Kiri Shinobi crashed into several of his comrades, then died.
Shin caught a Kunai thrown at him and threw it back, killing the attacker and the Shinobi behind him.
“You’re all too weak. I was hoping for a challenge,” Shin said, his Chakra flaring, blowing away the Kiri Shinobi surrounding him.
“Is he a monster?”
A Kiri Jōnin gulped. The pressure from Shin’s Chakra was overwhelming. How could a human have so much Chakra? And why was he so strong despite his young age?
Compared to Shin, he felt pathetic.
