Chapter 5: You’re Not Afraid, Are You?
Chapter 5: You’re Not Afraid, Are You?The sudden turn of events shocked the remaining two boys from the group. They couldn’t believe what they had just witnessed.
But the two boys had no time to dwell on their disbelief, as eight shuriken flew from Mochizuki Hui’s hands, curving through the air with a sharp whistling sound, aimed straight at them.
The deadly speed and the piercing sound of the shuriken made the boys’ faces pale. Despite how absurd it seemed, they instinctively tried to dodge.
Unfortunately for one of the boys, just as he rolled to avoid the shuriken, Mochizuki Hui was already upon him. As the boy got to his feet, Mochizuki Hui delivered a powerful kick, sending him crashing into a tree, instantly knocking him out.
The remaining boy's face twisted in fear. He had never expected the "prey" they were hunting to be such a terrifying and powerful predator.
Seeing Mochizuki Hui charging at him, he turned and fled without hesitation.
However, he was no match for Mochizuki Hui's speed. In a few swift strides, Hui caught up and knocked him out with a single punch.
It all happened in the blink of an eye. From the moment the three boys attempted to surround Mochizuki Hui to the moment he effortlessly defeated them, less than twenty seconds had passed.
And that was only because Mochizuki Hui had intentionally slowed himself down to enjoy the game. If he hadn’t, it would’ve ended even sooner.
After
It wasn’t that he feared these boys. He was just disappointed that three others were still hiding, meaning he’d have to waste time tracking them down later.
“You bastard!”
One of the boys, unable to bear Hui’s arrogant attitude, charged forward, kunai in hand.
But before he could get far, his teammate pulled him back.
“Don’t attack alone. We need to do this together!”
His teammate’s words were sensible. After all, this wasn’t just about defeating Mochizuki Hui and taking his two forehead protectors. The most important thing was what would happen next—once they had the protectors, the groups would have to fight among themselves to decide who got to keep them.
They couldn’t afford to lose members during the attack on Hui.
Understanding this, the others nodded and drew their shuriken, throwing them all at once.
A barrage of shuriken flew toward Mochizuki Hui from every direction, blocking off all possible escape routes.
But once again, they underestimated him.
With his dynamic vision, which rivaled that of a two-tomoe Sharingan, Mochizuki Hui’s ability to perceive his surroundings was incredible. The moment the shuriken left their hands, he had already found the optimal path to evade the attack.
Mochizuki Hui sprang into action, moving with lightning speed. With a series of swift flips and dodges, he weaved through the rain of shuriken, quickly closing the distance between himself and one of the teams.
The three boys from that team were startled but immediately raised their kunai to defend themselves.
Seeing this, the remaining six boys abandoned their long-range attacks and rushed in, hoping to overwhelm Hui with sheer numbers.
Mochizuki Hui effortlessly deflected their attacks with his own kunai and followed up with a swift kick to one boy’s stomach, knocking him out instantly.
At the same moment, he twisted his body, grabbed another boy’s wrist as the boy tried to stab him, and delivered a sharp elbow to the boy’s head, knocking him unconscious as well.
Without missing a beat, Mochizuki Hui leaped into the air and hurled several shuriken at the remaining seven boys. While they were busy deflecting the incoming projectiles, he landed and rushed at another boy, taking him out with a single punch.
In less than an instant, three of the boys were already down.
This display of speed and power terrified the remaining six boys. They had seriously underestimated Mochizuki Hui’s strength.
But Hui wasn’t about to give them a chance to recover. He launched himself at the nearest boy, his superior strength making it feel like a grown man beating up children.
One after another, the boys fell to the ground, unable to keep up with Mochizuki Hui’s relentless assault. In under ten seconds, all six were defeated.
Nine boys lay scattered on the ground—some unconscious, others groaning in pain, clutching their stomachs. None of them were left standing.
“Well, now it’s just Jiraiya’s group. Let’s wrap this up quickly.”
Mochizuki Hui muttered to himself as he gathered the forehead protectors from the fallen teams.
