I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 675: Finding a skilled player to carry you in duo queue is far less effective than getting crushed in solo queue.

"Instantaneous Body! Jade Cut!"

In the rainforest, a black shadow flashed by, a cold light hidden in the mist, but it still had a real effect on the mist ninjas.

The tall Mist Ninja had both legs severed at the base, his upper and lower body separated into three pieces. The short Mist Ninja was cut in half at the waist; the smooth cut even caused some delay in his fall due to air pressure and water tension.

As for the Mist Ninja who were neither too tall nor too short, the situation was the most dire.

"Bang!"

Zhi Shui stopped walking after stepping on a protruding rock. Her wet, curly hair clung to her headband, almost obscuring her bloodshot eyes.

He maintained his forward-slashing stance, his outstretched hand trembling slightly, as if he were exhausted.

"Phew~"

Taking a deep breath, Shisui straightened up, and a fireball appeared from the hilt of his ninja sword, washing over the tip and burning away the blood.

"Zzzzz~"

With a flick of his wrist, the blade trembled slightly, and the charcoal ash on it was also shaken off. He then sheathed the sword and turned around to glance at the fallen ninja.

Several are still alive, but it's only a matter of time before they die. Their injuries are beyond the capabilities of ordinary medical ninjas.

"Tap~ Tap~"

The sound of footsteps on the damp mud was like the final drumbeat of dusk, striking the heads of those Mist Ninjas. One Mist Ninja stared wide-eyed, his expression twisted, his eyes filled with resentment, looking at Shisui, who was just over an adult's waist, and left behind his final words.

"In an instant, water stops. Wrong jade cut."

"You flatter me. It seems I've finally gained a little reputation."

Shisui answered very politely, then unceremoniously squatted down and began searching the mist ninja's mutilated body for ninja tools, sealing scrolls, and medicine.

Shisui had no intention of letting go of anything that was useful. Amidst the resentful wails of those people, Shisui gathered all the collected supplies, took out a scroll, unrolled it, and began to draw the sealing incantation.

"Bang!"

A cloud of smoke exploded, sealing all the supplies away. Shisui put away the scroll and took out a small bottle.

"Try the latest variety bred by the Aburame clan."

As he spoke, he uncorked the bottle, and tiny, almost invisible flying insects flew out of the porcelain bottle and landed on the corpses. When Zhi Shui confirmed that there were no more flying insects in the bottle and put it away, the corpses on the ground had already been eaten by more than half of them.

"Wow, that's fast! This eating and reproduction speed is perfect for dealing with corpses. No wonder it's the work of the earwig, my teacher's former teammate."

Furthermore, once their chakra is depleted, these carrion-eating worms will die and decompose, leaving no evidence within a day.

With his Sharingan activated, Shisui studied the insects with admiration. If the cultivation of these insects could be stabilized, the workload of the corpse disposal team could probably be reduced by more than half.

Zhi Shui did not find this approach terrible. Unlike the prevailing opinion among the village's higher-ups, this project was restarted after his teacher took over.

During the third generation, Shiya Aburame cultivated the first batch of corpse-eating insects and demonstrated their effectiveness. After that, the project was terminated on the grounds that it was against the natural order.

But in Zhi Shui's view, compared to the time-consuming, dangerous, and unclean traditional methods, the insects are undoubtedly more effective. As for things that are against nature, that's a matter for nature to concern itself with, not for humans.

In no time, the insects had devoured the corpse of the Mist Ninja, even the blood-stained clothes and the blood splattered on the ground and trees.

If Shisui hadn't cleaned his ninja sword properly, it would probably have become food for the insects by now.

Losing their target, these insects continued to move and reproduce in place, while their chakra was constantly being consumed in the process. In just over ten minutes, the insects stopped moving, and their bodies began to dissolve and merge into the ground.

After observing the entire process, Zhishui took out a pen and paper and started recording something. As a tester, he was required to participate in the feedback process; otherwise, the village wouldn't have given him this product, which was still in the research and development stage.

After finishing his notes, Zhishui put the notebook away and took out a marked map.

This was accomplished by Hyuga Sento and his clansmen, who recorded the outposts and movement patterns of the patrolling ninjas scattered throughout the Land of Water, making it easier for others to take action and defeat them.

This is the role of the Hyuga clan; they can uncover the enemy's routes, patterns, and habits without needing to get close to them.

Then, by coordinating with individuals like Shisui who act alone, they can launch precise attacks and kill as many enemies as possible before Kirigakure changes its mechanics.

If a large army is mobilized, the enemy will inevitably gather. Even if they don't unite, they will be ordered to change their course. Therefore, it is best to target these reconnaissance squads by decapitating them individually or in small groups.

Shisui frowned as he glanced at the nearest Kirigakure reconnaissance squad. According to the information, that squad had a lot of ninjutsu, a total of thirteen people, including three squads and a commander.

Generally, with this kind of setup, it can be inferred that there is a Jonin as the commander, and the three squads are likely Chunin, Special Jonin, or Jonin.

In an ideal scenario with one Jonin, three Chunin, and nine Genin, Shisui felt he could handle it if he was prepared and caught off guard. However, if there were two or more Jonin, it would be much more troublesome.

"Looks like I need to plan this out properly. Luckily, we have enough detonating talismans."

Shisui pulled out two scrolls filled with explosive tags. For a ninja who had learned the Shikigami Technique, explosive tag traps were very simple and did not require complicated concealment.

All you need to do is lay down a handful of fallen leaves, and when it's time to detonate, you can use the Shikigami Technique to control it directly.

Furthermore, the detonation tag traps will become quite flexible, requiring no particularly precise landing point calculations. As long as they are nearby, the detonation tags can be controlled to launch attacks and bombardments.

Shisui is a genius, but he's not so genius that he can defeat a Jonin head-on at such a young age. Therefore, he always attacks Jonin by sneak attack.

His age and the disproportionate strength he displayed greatly contributed to his successful sneak attack.

Those Jonin would subconsciously feel that they didn't need to go all out against a child like that, and it was this mindset that allowed Shisui to move around nimbly until he found a way to kill them.

Of the many methods, Shisui's current favorite is the combination of explosive tags and paper magic.

After all, not every ninja is named Nawaki. His explosive tag combat skills were honed through the experience of his senior, Nawaki.

Shisui scratched his head when he thought of Nawaki. Actually, he had initially acted with Nawaki, but later...

The traps he set for the enemy were always stepped on by Nawaki, to the point that he eventually had to "drive Nawaki away," even though Nawaki's strength allowed the two of them to easily face a squad led by an enemy Jonin.

But this is not what Shisui wanted, because there was no pressure.

After all, fighting against Chunin and Genin no longer gives Shisui a sense of urgency, allowing him to immerse himself in the battle and find his own weaknesses.

This awkward transitional period is something every Jonin goes through. They are much stronger than ordinary Chunin, but still can't catch up with Jonin. Normally, this transitional period is usually overcome by puberty.

However, puberty is still a long way off for Shisui. It would be a waste of time to rely on the overall increase in physical fitness and chakra brought about by puberty to get through this transition period.

Therefore, Shisui hoped to learn from Kakashi and force himself to grow through more practical missions, so that he could resolve the transitional issues before puberty arrived.

This is also why Shisui chose to act alone: ​​to put himself in a do-or-die situation, to take the greatest risks, and to seek the greatest gains.

After putting away the map and explosive tags, Shisui rested on the spot, adjusting his physical condition and chakra to their best before setting off towards the next Mist Ninja stronghold.

His body is covered with a layer of chakra that emits a special frequency, which allows him to remain undetected even when he is within the enemy's perception range.

This is especially applicable to the ninjas of Kirigakure.

After all, among the ninja teams of other villages, there are occasionally bloodline limit ninjas or secret technique ninjas, whose sensory methods can be countered by the anti-sensory techniques developed by Nobu.

However, there are no bloodline limit ninjas in Kirigakure. In fact, due to the requirements of the Village of Blood Mist, the vast majority of ninjas in Kirigakure practice the most orthodox ninjutsu, and only a very small number of ninjas master secret techniques.

With the combined effects of the Byakugan and the Anti-Sense Technique, the reconnaissance teams of Kirigakure had almost no chance of making any contributions. Unless it was a large-scale operation by the Konoha forces, they simply couldn't find the Konoha ninjas.

They could only become prey, constantly hunted down by Konoha ninjas.

Among the members of the hunt, the most famous is actually Shisui, who has the lowest strength, because he is the only one who will be seized by the enemy to pass on information. The other members of the hunt will not give the Mist Ninja any chance.

"Ninja Art! Crow Clone Technique!"

As they traversed the rainforest, they approached the Mist Ninja reconnaissance team. Shisui formed hand seals, and his chakra continuously dispersed, transforming into crows.

This would render anti-sensory techniques ineffective, but a single crow has very little chakra, making it difficult for even a reconnaissance ninja to detect it.

Shisui, transformed into countless crows, searched the rainforest for traces of the Mist Ninja reconnaissance team. At the same time, he buried explosive tags in various places without any discernible pattern, like a gazelle hanging its horns, leaving no trace.

"That's about it."

The crows instantly gathered, and Shisui appeared on a large tree. At the same time, the Mist Ninja spotted him and, without any verbal command, charged towards Shisui.

"The teacher said, 'Art is an explosion!'"

"Bang bang bang!!!"

Amidst the flames, Shisui once again transformed into a black shadow, rushing towards the Mist Ninja. His height made him extremely threatening to male enemies when he swung his sword.

"Instantaneous Body! Jade Cut!"
