"Thump, thump!" The sound of heavy objects falling echoed. The Kirigakure ninjas surrounding Ten'en first had fountain-like blood splatter from their bodies.
Then, red lines appeared across their chests. Their upper torsos directly slid off, falling heavily to the ground, and their lower bodies, which were standing, also fell heavily.
Ten'en's terrifying sword skill directly dismembered the four Kirigakure ninjas, killing them in one blow.
Currently, Ten'en's ninjutsu abilities might be somewhat lacking compared to other Jonin, but in taijutsu and sword skill, he had long reached the highest level of Jonin.
It could be said that taijutsu and sword skill were two complementary aspects.
The existence of the fake One-Punch Man training method and Armament Haki gave Ten'en extremely terrifying strength in close combat, not to mention Eight Gates.
One must know that Ten'en still had Senzu Beans. At this moment, if Ten'en's strength activated the Eight Gates Formation to the last gate, who knew how terrifying his power would be.
He could easily suppress even a true Tailed Beast with his power.
"Ten'en, are you alright?" Anko and Shizune ran over. As for the dead Kirigakure ninjas, this was their deserved punishment.
"I'm fine." Ten'en smiled faintly. Looking at Kijin and Anko's sparring, he could see that Uchiha Kijin, having activated his Sharingan, was easily dealing with the Kirigakure ninja. Anko's side was a bit more difficult, but she was still gaining the upper hand.
Not to mention, after Ten'en easily killed their companions, their minds were already in disarray, fearing that Ten'en would attack them.
With Ten'en's ability to quickly kill their companions, it was too easy to kill them.
With their minds in disarray, their strength deteriorated, and it was only a matter of time before they were killed by Anko and the others.
So Ten'en didn't continue to make a move.
A moment later, Kijin and Anko both dealt with their enemies. Ten'en and the others also searched these Kirigakure ninjas and found two scrolls.
"Another Earth Scroll," Anko said helplessly.
"We have a Heaven Scroll here," Shizune quickly said. "How about we give you our Heaven Scroll?"
"Shizune, don't joke around. We need a Heaven Scroll, and we'll go look for enemies directly," Ten'en chuckled. "You keep your Heaven Scroll safe. Oh, and here's the Earth Scroll for you too."
Saying that, Ten'en threw the spoils of war, the Earth Scroll, to Shizune.
"Then what about you?" Shizune asked doubtfully.
"It's fine, Shizune. With my strength, do you think I still can't get a Heaven Scroll?" Ten'en smiled.
"Hmm." Shizune and Kurenai Yuhi nodded heavily, accepting Ten'en's gesture.
Moreover, they observed that Ten'en's strength was fully at the level of a top-tier Chunin.
"Alright, Shizune, Kurenai, you two recover your chakra and injuries. In your current state, it's very dangerous in the Forest of Death," Ten'en said to Shizune and the others.
"Thank you, Ten'en," Shizune said softly.
Looking at Shizune and Kurenai Yuhi recovering their chakra, Ten'en looked at Anko. "Don't you two need to recover?"
"It's fine. That enemy was already scared witless by you just now and didn't even unleash much strength," Anko shook her head.
Anko knew that with her current strength, it was still somewhat difficult to deal with a ninja who possessed Chunin-level strength.
It was just that this ninja had already consumed a large amount of chakra before, and then was scared witless by Ten'en's action of killing his companions. He didn't unleash much strength at all.
Then Anko seized an opportunity and directly slew the Kirigakure ninja. Her own losses were minimal.
"But speaking of Kirigakure ninjas, that girl we saw earlier was also a Kirigakure ninja, right?" Anko quickly said.
"Yes, that's a Kirigakure ninja, but they're not here." Ten'en chuckled. Suddenly, Ten'en's expression hardened.
"What's wrong, Ten'en?" Anko asked.
"Someone's coming." Ten'en smiled. "And perhaps your crow's mouth was right."
A rustling sound came. Three Kirigakure ninjas appeared in Ten'en's sight. The leader was a brown-haired woman.
"Ten'en." This girl was Mei Terumi. She saw Ten'en at a glance. However, Mei Terumi's pupils instantly contracted. She saw the corpses of several ninjas from her village.
"You killed the ninjas from our village." Mei Terumi looked at Ten'en, her gaze cold. Mei Terumi couldn't remain indifferent when ninjas from her village were killed.
"I killed them." Ten'en told Anko and the others not to act rashly and took a step forward.
"Then I cannot stand by. I, Kirigakure Genin Mei Terumi, will defeat you." Mei Terumi's clear voice rang out.
"Defeat me? Why not kill me?" Ten'en chuckled. As for who this girl was, Ten'en had already guessed. Indeed, this girl was Mei Terumi, the future Fifth Mizukage.
"I..." Mei Terumi said nothing. Was she supposed to say that she actually didn't have much affection for these ninjas from her own village?
Instead, she had a good impression of Ten'en.
"You guys step back." Mei Terumi said.
"Anko, Kijin, you two also step back a little." Ten'en waved his hand.
"Then let's play." Ten'en's figure flashed, instantly appearing before Mei Terumi. His right fist directly struck.
Powerful force, accompanied by a roaring sound of air tearing, made Mei Terumi's expression change slightly. She blocked Ten'en's fist with both hands.
But this powerful force still sent Mei Terumi flying. As Ten'en was about to charge forward, kunai from Mei Terumi's hand flew towards him, making Ten'en pause slightly and not advance.
In terms of grasping timing, this Mei Terumi's strength was indeed very good.
"Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave."
Mei Terumi didn't charge forward. She knew that her taijutsu ability had a huge gap compared to Ten'en.
She had already sensed this from their previous exchange.
A human-height wave surged towards Ten'en. Ten'en's figure slightly retreated.
This ninjutsu wasn't very offensive; its most important aspect was creating an environment suitable for Water Release ninjutsu.
At this moment, Ten'en and Mei Terumi both stood on the water surface.
"Ten'en, this is my home field now." Mei Terumi said, forming hand seals. The Water Release ninjutsu she used was even more terrifying than those of the previous Kirigakure ninjas, combining the Water Release ninjutsu from here.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique."
