'damn'
Seeing how easily his opponent cut through his earth projectiles, the Jonin from the Rock Village cursed.
While a Jonin must have skill in 2 chakra natures to gain the rank, few are as capable as his opponent.
Ground-based attacks are very heavy, so it was a bad idea to receive them head-on.
Few are able to withstand such impacts, and even fewer are able to cut them in half.
Even in the Sand Village, the Jonin from the Rock Village had never heard of such a powerful wind element user.
The Jonin from the Rock Village planned to rely on indiscriminately launching earth projectiles and finding a gap to escape through, but it seems that plan wouldn't work.
His opponent was too powerful to escape without watching his back in the process.
His powerful earth chakra strikes and formidable earth armor were already a nuisance. But now he's also demonstrated wind abilities, so he needs to be wary of any weapon he throws at him.
Crack!
!!!
Suddenly, the ground beneath him opened up and both hands shot up at once.
The Jonin from Rola Village couldn't react in time before his legs were caught and he was pulled down
!!!
He quickly wanted to unleash his chakra to escape, but at that moment every hair on his body stood on end as he felt death approaching.
Looking up, all he could see was a kunai surrounded by wind chakra just centimeters from his forehead.
It all happened in an instant.
At one moment he was caught and pulled to the ground, and at another moment that kunai appeared inches from his forehead.
'Shit' was all he could shout in his mind before his consciousness fell into darkness.
It was all very ironic.
When he saw that his opponent was skilled in the nature of the wind, he reminded himself to be careful with any projectiles.
But no matter how careful he was, it only took a moment of distraction and just a second to die from that same throwing weapon he remembered to be careful with.
When the Jonin from the Rock Village died, the sound of the battle in the distance faded away soon after.
This time, the attackers didn't bother to bury the bodies before going underground and escaping in a single direction.
Minutes later, a full squad of ninjas from the Village Hidden in the Rock appeared from that same direction.
The strange thing was that none of them noticed the enemies escaping right below them.
Even the squadron's sensor didn't detect anything underground.
When they arrived at the site of the battle, they found only the bodies of their fallen comrades and not a single trace of their comrades' killers.
However, later they found the trail of the Leaf ninjas and began the chase.
Unfortunately for them, they were unable to reach them before they left their territory in the land of grass.
Because they feared falling into a trap, they could only turn around and go back.
.
.
.
At that same moment, hundreds of kilometers away, a village was burning.
This village was just a civilian village dedicated to agriculture, so they had no chance to defend themselves against these attackers.
In addition to the houses, the bodies were gathered in one place and were also incinerated.
"Let's go," said the leader of the ANBU squad from the Rock village, and they all walked away from the place.
Without looking in any specific direction, the group ignored the few hidden survivors.
They didn't bother killing them, because the objective of their mission was for those survivors to report that they saw a group of ANBU from the Rock village.
The group walked away while making sure they left no trace behind them.
When they had moved far enough away and the team's sensor didn't detect anyone nearby for miles around, the group was able to stop and rest peacefully.
Sitting on rocks and tree branches, the group rested while eating military rations.
Although a soldier's pill could provide them with all the food they needed for a whole day, those pills were expensive and they preferred to save them for important moments.
While they rested and ate, they kept a watchful eye on the surrounding area.
But since there seemed to be nothing strange or dangerous around them, they lowered their guard while listening to the birds singing.
Trinar*

Trinar*
Many of them finished eating, but they didn't move.
In a war like this, moments and places like this where they could rest were rare.
Even though they had eliminated most of their emotions, the masked ninjas felt good in a moment of peace like this.
Trinar*
Trinar*
Trinar*
Without realizing it, they gradually felt more relaxed and enjoyed the peace and quiet around them.
Trinar*
Trinar*
Trinar*
The birdsong didn't bother them at all and only made them feel more relaxed.
!!!!!
Suddenly, the squad leader opened his eyes when he felt the heat on his skin.
At first it was a mild warmth that she mistook for the heat of the sun on her skin.
But in the midst of his state of peace and relaxation, he felt that something was wrong and forced himself to open his eyes.
Years of training told him something was wrong, and the difficulty in getting out of his state confirmed what his instincts were telling him.
Opening his eyes sharply and unleashing his chakra, he broke free from the Genjutsu and found himself in the middle of a sea of fire.
!!!!!
The pain of his burning skin filled his thoughts, but his years of training helped him ignore the pain and forced his legs to move.
With rapid bursts of chakra in his legs, the squad leader leaped from the branch where he was escaping.
The branch exploded and the Rock ninja kept jumping.
After several jumps, he escaped from the sea of fire and ignored the burns all over his body to see the place where he escaped.
Everything he was wearing had burned, and the mask was the only thing that survived.
But beneath that mask, terror filled the ninja's face.
Although years of training had forced him to not feel fear, this time he could not help but feel fear after many years.
In the place from which he escaped, his companions were still inside the sea of fire.
And what filled him with fear was that his companions remained in their positions resting, ignoring the fire that was cooking their bodies.
Some even continued eating while ignoring that they had lost the skin from their bodies.
It was a horrible sight.
Even a trained killer like him found it difficult not to feel fear and disgust when he saw his skinless companions resting and eating without feeling like they were being cooked alive.
"WAKE UP!" shouted the surviving ninja.
But no matter how much he shouted, none of his subordinates heard him and they remained in their places.
'WHO?!' the surviving ninja screamed in his mind as he looked all around.
They were all caught in a terrifying Genjutsu that made them ignore everything while they were cooked alive.
And no matter how much he screamed, he knew it would be useless because his screams wouldn't pull his subordinates out of the Genjutsu they were trapped in.
Looking all around, the surviving ninja searched for the culprits.
The whole place was a sea of fire, with wood ash flying through the air and the smell of burnt flesh filling their nostrils.
Trinar*
Trinar*
Trinar*
!!!
Only the birdsong continued to play, and suddenly he realized how they had fallen into a Genjutsu.
Looking around, only fire and ash filled the place, and nowhere were there any birds singing.
The surviving ninja didn't bother shouting to get the enemies to come out of their hiding place.
He knew there was only so little he could do to win.
So, decisively, he turned around and exploded into speed.
Trinar*
Throughout his journey, his enemies did not follow him or show themselves, but he knew they were still there because the birdsong reached his ears at all times.
Trinar*
As he leaped from tree to tree, he made sure to check his chakra pathways and ensure he broke free from any Genjutsu he might be in.
Trinar*
But even though I didn't feel like I was in a Genjutsu, I couldn't help but feel that something was wrong.
Trinar*
!!!!
Suddenly, he stopped when he saw in the distance the village that he and his subordinates had just razed.
Trinar*
But suddenly, her eyes blurred and she didn't realize she had lost control of her body.
Under the fearful and surprised gaze of the few surviving villagers, the ninja continued on towards the pyre of fire that burned the bodies and committed suicide by walking into the flames.
And at no point did he let out a cry of pain.
