Rebirth In The Naruto World - 17 Silent Killing

Holding her two swords, lightning sparked every now and then on her sword as she slowly stepped back into the mist.

“Everyone group together! This is one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist’s special techniques! As the name suggests, they use mist to rob the opponent of their sight and quietly move to kill the opponent, not giving them a chance to react.” Asuma explained.

“Damn to think we’d be up against one of the swordsmen of the Mist on our first mission,” Asuma grumbled.

Hearing Asuma’s explanation Izumi, Zoro, and the escorted merchants were all instantly frightened. Moving towards each other under the instructions of Asuma, two of the merchants were immediately killed with a sword that pierced through their heart.

Looking at the charring marks on the cut of one of the victim’s wounds Ren came to a realization. “Long red hair, black eyes, Kiri forehead protector, short body stature, jagged teeth, and two swords with blades sticking out the side of them. This person was Ameyuri Ringo of the Mist! She wielded the Kiba, twin swords which were able to be imbued with lightning chakra which would increase their sharpness giving them the title of being the sharpest swords ever made.” Ren thought as he got more nervous realizing the severity of the situation.

Abruptly a blade with tiny sparks of electricity appeared in front of Ren, having barely any time to react Ren quickly stepped back as he took out his Tantō and swung in an attempt to parry the attack. But the blade was instantly cut in half.

“Pretty good for such a young Shinobi,” Ameryuri said with a hint of respect.

“It’s nothing much,” Ren said as he immediately retreated

…

It had been a couple of minutes and Ameryuri had continued to repeatedly attack Ren and his friends. The most she would get though was a couple of cuts on Ren. But, Izumi still continued to be worried about Ren.

Ameryuri had also tried multiple attempts at Izumi and Zoro but had failed due to Asuma’s intervening. She was able to kill some merchants, but now that they were mostly dead she could only attack Ren and his team members. But, seeing as Asuma was able to easily protect them she could only continue attacking Ren.

Ren’s body was now completely filled with cuts, but that didn’t matter too much as this was a life and death matter so he couldn’t afford to slack off. Focused, Ren continued to dodge Ameryuri’s quick attacks.

As Ameryuri’s chakra started to deplete, the surrounding mist started to fade. Seeing this Ren formed hand seals and yelled “Chidori!” as he charged at Ameryuri’s figure which was now visible. Feeling the immense Chakra concentrated on Ren’s hand, Ameryuri started to flee however, Ren chased after her.

In the distance, you could hear Asuma yell “Ren don’t go! It’s to dangerous!”. However, Ren just ignored it and continued chasing.

Running into the woods, Ren was able to slowly catch up to her as she didn’t have much chakra left. Using Chidori, Ren jumped towards her and sent a jab towards her heart, but with Ameryuri’s battle experience, she was able to barely avoid getting her heart destroyed, but sacrificed her right shoulder.

With a gaping hole in her right shoulder, Ameryuri turned to slash at Ren’s right arm which had just pierced her shoulder before falling onto the ground.
