Hozuki Chizuki instantly transformed his body into water, breaking free from the four illusions in the blink of an eye.

As his body reformed and he grabbed the twin swords, Hiramekarei, Genichi Shushita was already upon him.

This side happens to be Genichi's true form.

With twin swords in hand, the long sword slices through Hozuki Chizuki's body.

Wow!
Hozuki Chizuki's body transformed into water once more, and he wrapped himself in the twin swords Hiramekarei before diving underwater.

Genichi Shushita ignored it, and in a flash, he appeared in front of another Mist Ninja, slashing down with his long sword in his left hand and cutting to the left with his short sword in his right.

The ninja used his sword to block Genichi's long sword under the tree, but his abdomen was cut open by the short sword, and blood and internal organs such as intestines immediately poured out.

At that moment, two hands reached out from underwater to grab Xuan Yi's legs and feet under the tree.

Genichi under the tree pulled his legs back, his body leaped into the air, and then kicked to the left and right in a split, sending the Mist Ninja swinging their swords flying on either side.

Immediately afterwards, Xuan Yi under the tree turned upside down, his long sword plunged into the water, and blood immediately surged up.

With a push of his palm against the water's surface, and as the water sank, Genichi's upside-down body immediately took off, spinning like a top in the air before landing behind a ninja.

The ninja turned around, only to meet Genichi's eyes under the tree. His eyes widened, his body stiffened, and he couldn't bring himself to swing the sword in his hand.

The Mist Ninja silently attacked from behind Genichi Kinoshita, piercing his body with a single strike, and then also passing through the Mist Ninja who was under the influence of the genjutsu.

Wow!

Xuan Yi's body transformed into water and fell down from the tree.

Water Release: Water Substitution!

The ninja who had stabbed his companion frantically searched left and right for Genichi's whereabouts, but was immediately swept up by several streams of water and pulled to the bottom.

Gulu gulu!

A large amount of fresh blood gushed up.

The remaining two Mist Ninja were terrified: "Underwater!"

shhhhh!

The water surface broke open, and jets of high-pressure water jets shot out.

The two Mist Ninjas only had time to dodge the first high-pressure water jet before their bodies were pierced through.

Wow!

Genichi emerged from the water and looked around; only one Mist Ninja remained on the entire battlefield.

Wearing a mask, Kushimaru Kurishari's left hand hung limply at his sides. There was a deep cut in his arm, made by the palm strike of Genichi Kyo's clone.

Genichi Koushi's three shadow clones have also been dispelled, leaving only Genichi Koushi's main body and Kushimaru Kurihara facing off on the water's surface.

As for Hozuki Chizuki, according to Genichi Shushita's perception, he was fleeing towards the southeastern sea.

Genichiro realized that Kurishari Kushimaru was covering Hozuki Chizuki's retreat.

With a tug on the wire, Kushimaru pulled the long sword Sewing Needle, which had been lurking underwater, shot out like a venomous snake, aiming straight for Genichi's head under the tree.

Ding!
Genichi Shushita swung his sword with his right hand, knocking the sewing needle away. Then, his body darted out, moving at high speed across the water like a water snake.

Meanwhile, Kushimaru Kurihara, wielding his long sword Seijin, attacked Genichi Kinoshita time and again, but all his attacks missed.

Xuan Yi's water-instantaneous movement under the tree was too fast.

In just three seconds, Genichi Kinoshita was in front of Kushimaru Kurihara, slashing at him with his long sword and cutting towards his abdomen with his short sword.

Kuri-san used a steel wire to block the attack, while at the same time, a sewing needle shot out from underwater between the two and flew towards Genichi under the tree.

He had experienced Genichi's Wind Release technique before and knew he couldn't withstand this strike, so he was determined to perish together with Genichi.

However, Genichi Kishita has Sharingan and can see Kushimaru Kurihara's subtle movements.

Furthermore, his reaction speed is astonishing.

So before the long sword and needle even emerged from the water, the short sword in the right hand had already changed its original trajectory.

Ding!
The long sword and sewing needle flew wildly, but were swept away by the short sword.

The longsword, imbued with Wind Release chakra, severed Kushimaru Kurihara's steel wire and pierced his shoulder bone. At the same time, Genichiro Koushi opened his mouth, and highly condensed water needles shot out, shattering Kushimaru Kurihara's mask and piercing his forehead.

Bang!
Kurihara Kushimaru fell straight down, crashing onto the water's surface.

The long knife and sewing needle sank to the bottom of the water.

Just as Genichi was about to fish it out from under the tree, the long knife and sewing needle vanished with a bang.

Not only the long knife and the needle, but several other knives also disappeared.

"The response is quick!"

Xuan Yi hummed softly under the tree.

It's obvious without even thinking that Hozuki Chizuki's spirit has left.

Looking in the direction Hozuki Chizuki had fled, Genichi Kishita sensed that the guy had already escaped to a ship at sea and was rapidly moving away from the coast.

Genichi under the tree gave up the pursuit.

At this point, only one member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist was left!
With his hands clasped together, Xuan pulled up all the water from the battlefield under the tree and sent it aside.

Without water, more than seventy corpses lay scattered haphazardly across the battlefield.

Looking at so many cadavers, Genichi Shushita suddenly felt a little annoyed.

We definitely can't take them back; we can only choose the corpses of those who were strong in life to take back.

On the left side of the battlefield, at the edge of the forest, Aloe White Zetsu's face blended into the tree bark, taking in the entire battle not far away: "What a wonderful battle!"

"If the Uchiha clan could use the Sharingan so well, Lord Madara would definitely be very interested, wouldn't he?"

……

"Ok?"

Just as he was about to collect the corpses, Xuan Yi under the tree paused, turned around, and saw figures appearing at the edge of the battlefield.

"team leader!"

Akimichi Toshi's voice rang out.

Genichi under the tree smiled: "Tang Dong!"

Konoha's reinforcements have arrived!
After deciding on his strategy, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately selected five squads to serve as reconnaissance teams in the southern part of the Land of Fire.

The five teams first needed to reunite with Genichi and his group, but they encountered Akimichi Tou in the town and quickly headed south.

Although the distance was only a dozen kilometers, they were moving very fast.

But Genichi's battle ended even faster.

At this moment, all the Konoha ninjas, including Akimichi Tou, were stunned by what they saw.

More than seventy corpses lay scattered about, and although the battlefield itself wasn't very large, it felt densely packed.

None of the people who came this time were newcomers; they were all experienced fighters, yet they were still stunned by the battlefield before them, their scalps tingling for a moment. *Gulp!*

"Could it have been one person who did it?"

Someone swallowed hard and whispered.

His companion's eyes widened in disbelief: "This... I'm afraid so!"

"This kid, I heard he's only eleven years old?"

"Idiot, you should use honorifics from now on!"

"That's terrifying, taking down so many enemies all by himself."

"He doesn't seem to be injured?"

"Is this really something a human could do? Even the legendary Sannin couldn't possibly face so many enemies alone and still manage to kill them all, could they?"

"Yes, that's terrifying!"

"too strong!"

"This is no longer genius, it should be described as monster, right?"

The Konoha ninja whispered among themselves, and even the Jonin leading the teams were getting a little thirsty.

Especially Kurenai Yuhi, who is Kurenai Yuhi's father.

Looking at Genichi standing under the tree amidst the corpses, he felt a sense of unreality.

Is this my daughter's classmate?
At this moment, Akimichi Tou exclaimed in surprise, "Captain, you killed all seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?"

"what?"

"Seven Kirigakure Ninja Swordsmen?"

"It's said there are seven, no, six, all of them Jonin level!"

The Konoha ninja were in an uproar.

If all six Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were present, plus the other Mist Ninja, judging from the number, there would probably be more than 10 Jonin, right?

hiss!
Even Kurenai Yuhi couldn't help but gasp at this moment.

Genichi under the tree chuckled and said, "No."

"One of them escaped, a guy from the Hozuki clan."

This calm and serene demeanor immediately drew another exclamation.

"so amazing!"

"Only one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist has been eliminated!"

"Shouldn't Lord Xuanyi's strength already be on par with the three legendary Sannin?"

"I never expected to witness such an unparalleled genius shine in person, what an honor!"

……

It took a full two minutes for everyone to recover, and then they all helped clean up the body under the tree.

Genichi Shushita selected ten corpses, sealed them up, and took them away. As for the other corpses, they could only be burned by the Konoha ninjas who had mastered fire-style techniques.

However, Genichi Kinoshita did not return to Konoha immediately. Instead, he rested for one night and set off for Konoha the next day.

While Genichi was still on his way, Chizuki Hozuki had already returned to Kirigakure.

So many people were mobilized to kill one person, but he returned alone, and almost the entire army was wiped out.

In particular, the Suigetsu Hobutsuki, who was previously assassinated by a mysterious enemy, was also killed by Genichi Koushi.

The Third Mizukage, upon hearing Hozuki Chizuki's report, could not hide the shock on his usually calm face.

He had been cautious enough and had taken Genichi Shushita seriously enough.

They sent out the remaining six members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, along with elite Anbu fighters and other ninja squads. So many people, yet they still failed, and almost all of them were wiped out.

Even with the Third Mizukage's cold-blooded mentality, it couldn't help but crack open at this moment.

A full half minute passed before the Third Mizukage regained his composure and looked at Hozuki Chizuki, who was filled with shame, and said, "The responsibility for the failure of this mission does not lie with you; it is because I underestimated this person."

"Go back and get some rest."

Hozuki Chizuki nodded and left, his body slightly hunched.

The Third Mizukage sighed inwardly, then coldly issued a series of orders: "Immediately investigate Genichi Kinoshita's information, classify it as S-rank, and ensure that all village ninjas know about it."

"Secondly, pass down the order: if you encounter Genichi Shushita in the future, you can abandon the mission!"

"Third, the intelligence department should immediately study the existing intelligence on Genichi Kinoshita and formulate targeted tactics."

……

The orders were noted down by the ANBU ninjas responsible for protecting the Third Mizukage, and then quickly relayed to various departments by other administrative personnel.

When these orders, along with news about Genichi Kinoshita and the failure of the encirclement mission, spread rapidly, the entire Hidden Mist Village was shaken.

Genichi Koushi's name quickly spread throughout Kirigakure, becoming known not only to active Kirigakure ninja but also to students at the Ninja Academy.

Moreover, the news spread rapidly throughout the Land of Water, and then quickly spread to the entire ninja world through intelligence agents in various ninja villages.

Just as Xuan Yi returned to the village under the tree.

Inside Kirigakure, Hozuki Chizuki committed seppuku in his home, leaving behind a suicide note and taking responsibility for the mission's failure and heavy losses.

Mizukage's office.

Upon receiving news of Hozuki Chizuki's suicide, and seeing the six ninja swords Hozuki Chizuki had sent over, the Third Mizukage's expression turned somber. He then issued the order: "A bounty of 5 million ryo will be placed on Konoha's Genichi Kyo!"

The ANBU ninja who received the order changed his expression.

This price is too high!
In the ninja world, the bounty for a Jonin is generally between 20 million and 40 million ryo.

Only those with extremely high reputations, such as the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, can command such exorbitant prices.

But considering the damage Genichiro Kinoshita caused to the village, the Anbu ninja felt that the price was not high.

Each of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist is to be paid a bounty of 30 million.

Seven is more than 200 million taels.

There are also more than ten Jonin who died at the hands of Genichi under the tree. If each one is worth 20 million taels... a bounty of 500 million taels is very reasonable!

As for the fact that Hozuki Chizuki wasn't killed by Kinoshita Genichi... if it weren't for Kinoshita Genichi, would Hozuki Chizuki, an elite Jonin, have committed suicide to atone for his sins?
"Furthermore, release all information about Genichi Kinoshita!"

The Third Mizukage coldly gave the order once again.

There are quite a few powerful bounty hunters active in the ninja world, such as Kakuzu, who once attempted to assassinate the First Hokage and managed to escape unscathed.

The Third Mizukage would be very happy to see anyone kill Genichi Kinoshita.
