Chakra surged from Renjiro's palm into the hill, and the hill began to collapse.
In just three seconds, the entire hill collapsed!
The Hidden Mist rogue Ninja felt the ground beneath their feet tremble.
The next second, some rocks began to fall! Their expressions all turned solemn!
At that time, there were only 11 Ninja gathered there, and 3 more had not yet reached that room.
They understood that they needed to escape! However, escaping towards the cave entrance was very dangerous!
Realizing his dire situation, Kubota Mitsutsuka made Hand Seals. Immediately, a Water Prison began to form around them. He shouted.
"Pour all your Chakra into this Jutsu, everyone, hurry!"
The rogue Ninja wasted no time and immediately began injecting Chakra into Mitsutsuka's Water Prison Technique. The Water Prison grew larger and denser due to everyone's Chakra.
Rocks continuously smashed against it but did not damage it.
However, the first dangerous moment was when the ground beneath their feet collapsed. The Water Prison sphere also fell with it, making it extremely difficult to maintain its form.
After everyone's desperate efforts, they finally held on!
The second dangerous moment was when the Water Prison fell to the ground! This time, they couldn't maintain the sphere. The impact with the ground, combined with the falling rocks, broke the Ninjutsu!
However, four Ninja immediately used Water Barrier Jutsu for protection.
Outside the hill:
As the mountain collapsed, the Yugakure Village Ninja were battling traps. De Ping built Earth Walls to protect everyone.
The Ninja themselves used kunai to block the incoming needles.
They successfully withstood this wave of trap attacks. When one of them fell to the ground, De Ping was a bit worried.
Junzhuang immediately walked towards the fallen person and checked his condition. Everyone else gathered around him. Junzhuang said.
"He's fine, just two needles in his thigh."
He removed the needles and observed them. The others were worried the needles were poisoned. After examining the needles and the fallen Ninja, Junzhuang said.
"The needles are coated with some anesthetic; he might sleep for a while."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. De Ping said.
"Junzhuang, you stay here and ensure his safety. Everyone else, follow me; it seems they have already started fighting, and we can't fall behind!"
Feng Zheng, Hodaka, and Mieko took up positions in the front row, watching a small hill collapse.
However, they were not too surprised. By now, they had witnessed many powerful ultimate techniques continuously displayed by Renjiro.
The three immediately focused their attention on the rogue Ninja in the ruins. Feng Zheng unfurled his Chakra Field to sense them.
There was no longer a need to remain hidden. He made several Hand Seals and prepared a Wind Vacuum Bullet. Hodaka and Mieko also got ready!
Inside the collapsed hill, there was chaos! It took the concerted effort of 11 people to avoid serious injury.
However, most of them sustained minor injuries from falling rocks hitting them. One Chunin suffered a minor concussion.
However, the three who were not with them suffered. Two of them specialized in Water Release, and the last one specialized in Earth Release.
All three were awakened by the ground tremors emitted by Mitsutsuka. However, they were in a deep sleep and only woke up a few seconds later.
By the time they started to move, the mountain had already begun to collapse!
They didn't understand. Similar thoughts flashed through their minds.
"What in the world happened? We were enjoying a wonderful time before we went to sleep! Why is this happening? It was the same just before we left that cursed place!"
The two Water Release Ninja tried to protect themselves but were crushed by rocks.
The Earth Release Ninja tried to burrow underground. However, the ground beneath his feet collapsed directly!
But he still managed to build an Earth Wall in time to protect himself. He was buried under the rubble but was still alive.
Before the two sides had even officially engaged, Renjiro had already killed almost a quarter of their numbers!
Seeing his efficiency, Feng Zheng had only one thought in his mind.
"Does he need a squad? You must be joking!"
Renjiro made another Hand Seals, then slammed his palm on the ground, casting Earth Release: Senbon Jutsu.
Seeing Renjiro cast Ninjutsu again, the same thought resurfaced in the disciples' minds. They thought.
"Teacher, please leave someone for us!"
At the same time, Mitsutsuka made several Hand Seals and cast Water Release: Water Shockwave.
He spewed a stream of water that hit the rubble above them.
Upon contact, the water stream exploded, blowing away the rubble and creating an escape opening for them.
However, just then, hundreds of Earth Needles appeared on the ground around them, instantly shooting towards them.
They all noticed these needles, but their speeds varied. Those who noticed the needles appear immediately jumped out of the hole.
Six of them successfully jumped out of the range of the Earth Needles. Three people were grazed by a few needles. One person was stabbed by more than a dozen needles but sustained no fatal injuries.
However, the last person was very unlucky. He was the slowest to notice and jump. He became a needle target and died!
He did not die alone. The last rogue Ninja member who was not with the group also died under the Senbon Jutsu. He had trapped himself within an Earth Wall and could not escape or defend himself quickly.
The number of rogue Ninja was reduced to 10! But their suffering was not over yet!
After jumping out, they still had to protect themselves from surprise attacks by the students of the man who had caused them so much misery!
The first person to leave the cave entrance was Mitsutsuka. As soon as he stepped out, he saw three Shuriken flying towards him.
He quickly blocked the Shuriken and looked in the direction of their origin. His eyes fell on Renjiro, and he widened them. He exclaimed.
"Damn it, it's Senju Renjiro!"
As soon as the other rogue Ninja left the cave entrance, they were greeted by Shuriken precisely thrown by Mieko.
Mieko aimed at the first two people to leave the ruins. Both of these were Jonin and easily blocked her Shuriken.
Unlike Mieko, Hodaka and Feng Zheng both wanted to choose one target to attack.
Hodaka was ambitious! He wanted to target a Jonin. Feng Zheng, on the other hand, chose a more efficient strategy.
Hodaka ultimately chose Fumimaro as his target.
Fumimaro was the third person to leave the ruins. Hodaka aimed a Vacuum Palm at his heart.
Fumimaro felt Hodaka attacking him. He spewed Water Bullets in retaliation. The Water Bullets collided with the Vacuum Palm, neutralizing it.
Feng Zheng aimed at the fifth person to leave the ruins. His Chakra was higher than that of an average Chunin.
Feng Zheng guessed he was an Elite Chunin, so he chose him. As soon as he appeared, Feng Zheng shot a Vacuum Bullet towards his heart.
Unlike Fumimaro, Feng Zheng's target did not have sensory abilities. Moreover, Feng Zheng's Vacuum Bullet was many times faster than Hodaka's Vacuum Palm.
He didn't even see the attack coming, and his heart was pierced!
The Hidden Mist rogue Ninja finally landed on the ruins. They watched with solemn expressions. Seven of them were killed before they even clearly saw who their enemies were!
At the same time, the Yugakure Ninja also arrived there, landing beside the Renjiro Squad.
Seeing the scene before them, they all widened their eyes! Beside them were two headless corpses impaled by Earth Spears.
The hill where the rogue Ninja were supposed to be had completely collapsed. And the nine enemies they saw all had some injuries, while the Konoha Ninja did not even have a single scratch!
Mitsutsuka immediately analyzed the situation and shouted.
"Disperse!"
He instantly flashed away. The others followed him.
Renjiro and De Ping's squad immediately gave chase. Renjiro created a Shadow Clone. He himself pursued Mitsutsuka, while his Shadow Clone pursued Fumimaro. De Ping pursued the third Jonin.
Feng Zheng, Mieko, and Hodaka each chose a Chunin as their target.
Mieko and Hodaka looked for Chunin with higher Chakra, while Feng Zheng went after the injured Chunin.
The remaining Yugakure Ninja reacted half a beat slower. They were about 1-2 seconds behind the others.
Normally, De Ping would command them, but due to their poor performance so far, he felt pressured.
Therefore, he quickly took action, trusting that his subordinates would do their job.
They also quickly gave chase. Seo Shusaku pursued a Chunin alone. The remaining 4 people pursued in pairs.
