At this time, Ren's mouth curved into a smile. "There are so many people, but they still look down on us."
Among the group of people on the opposite side, the ones standing at the front were the five Jōnin. They formed a line, spanning the battlefield, blocking Ren and the others on the only way to return to the Land of Fire.
"Haha, do you think our casino's money is so easy to earn?!" One of them said in a deep voice. Then he stretched out his index finger, pointed at Ren, and continued, "I advise you to hand over that kid to us, and then hand over all the money you won before. We might even let you live."
"You are daydreaming! Captain Ren will never hand it over to you!" Sunflower put her hands on her hips and scolded those people first.
"Haha, I don't know the little girl who thinks so highly of herself." The other Jōnin had a low voice, with a cackling laughter coming out of his mouth. "Today, we came here after a lot of preparation! Even if Tsunade, one of the Konoha Sannin, is there, you can't even think about getting out!"
"You…" The eyes under Sunflower's mask were round. With a face full of dissatisfaction, she wanted to continue to scold back, but a hand pressed her shoulder.
"Captain..." Sunflower bit her lower lip with her teeth.
"There's no need to be quick with words."
Whoosh! Ren raised his hand. A shuriken was shot directly, and he said lightly, "Let's start fighting!"
"Seaisland, Moth, Sunflower, let me see the skills of the three of you."
"Yes!" Three unanimous voices of response. Then the three of them rushed up in different directions.
Seaisland was best at melee combat. The people of the Hyūga Clan use Byakugan and Gentle Fist as their main means of attack. His strength was also the strongest of the three. A ninja with the strength of Chūnin could hardly survive ten rounds in his hands, and a ninja with the strength of a Special Jōnin could only hold out for about a hundred moves against him. So as soon as he rushed to the opposite crowd and got the chance to get close, he quickly killed three or four ninjas one after another!
"Eight Trigrams Palm: Gentle Fist!"
"Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!"
The blue chakra contained in the Gentle Fist resonated in the air. Enemy after enemy was knocked away by his Gentle Fist, flying out like broken kites.
At this time, Moth on the side also joined the battle. As a member of the Aburame Clan, although the thing they were best at was perception, they were not weak at all in terms of actual combat power. He did not rush into the crowd like Seaisland. He was not good at close combat, so he chose to stand at a distance. Then he lifted up his two sleeves.
Hundreds of insects flew out of his sleeve. It became a piece of darkness, and a cloud-like mass floated in the air.
"Secret Technique: Destructive Insect Swarm!"
"Secret Technique: Insect Tornado!"
Screams sounded one after another. Those who were enveloped by the worms, under the gnawing of the insects, soon turned into a pile of white bones, and the scene looked very terrifying for a while.
Compared with Seaisland's Byakugan and the physical attack of the upper Gentle Fist, the secret technique of the Aburame Clan, the destructive insects, was more difficult to deal with. Because the number of those worms was very large, ordinary taijutsu couldn't handle it at all.
Seaisland and Moth, the two of them, one good at taijutsu, the other good at ninjutsu. The two cooperated with each other and dealt with different types of ninjas respectively, and their cooperation was quite perfect. In a short time, more than 20 ninjas with Chūnin strength were killed!
Although Sunflower was a girl, her fighting power was also not weak. With a blood-penetrating bloodline (likely referring to a Kekkai Genkai or unique proficiency), she pulled out the long knife behind her, and immediately hid her figure, then quietly appeared behind the enemy, displaying her own secret technique.
"Secret Sword: Moon Shadow!"
"Konoha-ryu Swordsmanship: Dance of the Three Suns and Moons!"
The heads of several enemies were chopped off by her like cutting vegetables. Don't look at her as a little girl who is afraid of mice; she really doesn't even blink an eye when she kills people.
"This, is this the strength of Anbu Ninja?!"
"So strong!"
Behind Ren, the Konoha spy who was rescued by Ren from the casino, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, with unstoppable surprise in his eyes.
Ren did not speak. Anbu ninjas take killing as their daily task. The most important thing was to have enough power. And his Konoha spies, engaged in espionage, the most important thing was to disguise themselves and enhance self-protection capabilities. The difference in strength was, of course, very obvious.
"The three of them are all good~" Shizune was also on the side, holding the little pink pig Tonton in his hand, and said with emotion.
Shizune now also possessed the strength of a Jōnin, but she mainly practiced medical ninjutsu. In terms of combat power, there was no way to compare with the professional Anbu ninjas like Seaisland.
"It's normal," Tsunade said very casually. In front of her strength as one of Konoha's Three Sannin, these three Anbu ninjas weren't much to behold. She could see at a glance that these three young people were just newcomers who had just joined Anbu. Although their strength was good, their combat experience was still far behind.
As soon as they started, they used all kinds of ninjutsu. Although the lethality was good, they killed more than a dozen of the opponent's enemies in a blink of an eye. However, their own Chakra consumption was not small. Now the number of enemies was as many as hundreds of people. Such reckless consumption of their own Chakra would not allow them to fight a protracted war at all.
If at this time, they were fighting against an experienced Anbu operative, if they could solve the enemy with one kunai, they would never use ninjutsu to waste extra chakra. The movements were clean and neat, without a trace of sloppiness. This was the style of Anbu's behavior. These three young people seemed to be still a long way from reaching the level that an Anbu Ninja should really have.
At this time, Tsunade's eyes fell on Ren. She looked him up and down, her eyes full of curiosity. From knowing this little guy to now, she had never seen him really make a move. However, being selected to enter Anbu at such a young age, and becoming the captain of an Anbu ninja team, he must be pretty good, right?
"Hey, kid, why don't you get up? Just watching your three subordinates face so many enemies down there? They won't last long with their strength..." Tsunade reminded him kindly.
Ren smiled, "You found it too? With their fighting style, they won't last long."
'What is also called? I already found out, okay?'
'Wait a minute,' Tsunade froze for a moment. 'What does he mean by this, he has already discovered this matter?'
Tsunade was stunned for a few seconds. Then she shouted uncontrollably: "Then why don't you hurry down and help, and stand here watching like an outsider?! Aren't you afraid that some of your subordinates will die? Just watch them die at the hands of the enemy?"
"You ninjas of Konoha, don't they all value companionship the most?" Tsunade's question came out like a cannonball. When it came to the end, it seemed that she touched on some things that she didn't want to recall, and there was a bit of resentment and sarcasm in her tone.
"As the ninjas of Anbu, if they are not baptized with blood, they can't have a long memory."
"Only by letting the three of them suffer, can they use their bodies to remember what they should do next time they encounter such a situation, instead of such a completely reckless battle." Ren's tone was very calm, as if talking about a trivial thing.
"And, they won't die."
Tsunade seemed to be dissatisfied with this answer. "The other party has three Jōnin! If they take action, at such a long distance, you won't even have time to rush over to save them. How dare you say they won't die?!" Tsunade frowned and continued to ask.
With a bit of a smile in his eyes, Ren looked at Tsunade and said lightly, "Because… if they die, it will make my captain position seem incompetent~"
"You…!" Just when Tsunade wanted to continue questioning him, at this time, there was a sudden scream that was extremely sharp and frightening below.
Tsunade's heart sank. A bad thought suddenly came to her mind. 'Oops, something must have happened on the battlefield below!'
