Naruto: The ANBU God

Chapter 19: Practice



Screams of terror and confusion filled the air as Luo Lei's heat vision continued its relentless assault.

In less than a minute, over 400 Sunagakure Genin had fallen to his power.

The battlefield was filled with an acrid smell of ozone and burnt earth.

Faced with this overwhelming and one-sided display of power, many Sunagakure Chūnin and Jōnin were paralyzed, their minds unable to process the magnitude of what they were witnessing.

Even the Konoha ninjas, despite being prepared, couldn't help but be surprised. A unanimous thought ran through their ranks: "Lord Luo Lei is incredibly powerful..."

At the rear of the Sunagakure army, Chiyo and Ebizō exchanged looks of absolute horror. Never in their long lives had they imagined such a devastating Kekkei Genkai.

"Now I understand why Pakura called him a lunatic," Chiyo muttered.

Luo Lei, having decimated the Genin, turned his attention to the Chūnin squads. His smile widened, his eyes glowing with an unnatural red. "Let's level up," he murmured. "The Chūnin should be more entertaining."

Rasa, sensing the imminent danger, acted with desperate speed.

Channeling all his chakra, he pressed his hands against the ground. "Jiton: Sakin Taisō!" he shouted.

In an instant, a huge wall of sand mixed with gold dust materialized in front of Sunagakure's main forces.

But Luo Lei didn't even blink. His heat rays collided with Rasa's barrier with a deafening roar.

Boom!

To the astonishment and horror of all present, the gold barrier, known for its incredible resistance, began to melt under the intense heat of the rays.

"Impossible," Rasa whispered, his face pale with disbelief.

The melting point of gold was incredibly high, and with chakra reinforcement, it should have been practically invincible. "What kind of monster is this?"

In a matter of seconds, the imposing gold wall crumbled, collapsing into a sea of molten metal that splashed across the battlefield.

"AAAAARGH!" Screams of agony tore through the air as some ninjas, unable to dodge in time, were hit by splashes of molten gold.

The battlefield descended into chaos, panic spreading like wildfire.

Observing everything with horror, Rasa desperately sought a strategy to counter the unstoppable threat that Luo Lei represented.

"This cannot continue like this!" he roared, his voice loaded with urgency. "Change of plans! Forget about Luo Lei for now. Everyone, attack the Konoha camp!"

Chiyo and Ebizō exchanged a quick glance, instantly understanding Rasa's strategy.

"Understood!" they shouted in unison. Without wasting a second, they launched forward, followed by more than 30 Jōnin.

The plan was clear: if they couldn't defeat Luo Lei directly, they would have to find another way to neutralize him.

Attacking the Konoha camp could force him to divide his attention, giving them a chance to counterattack.

Like an unstoppable wave, the Sunagakure shinobi set in motion. Despite the terror still pulsing in their hearts, they launched themselves towards the Konoha lines with renewed determination.

'If we fight hand-to-hand with the Konoha Ninjas,' many thought, 'Luo Lei won't be able to use those damn rays without risking his own.'

From the Konoha lines, Orochimaru watched Sunagakure's advance with a smile of anticipation.

"Now!" he shouted. "Konoha, attack!"

With a movement, Orochimaru launched directly towards Rasa.

"Fourth Kazekage," he hissed, his voice loaded with an almost perverse pleasure, "I am your opponent."

Seeing Orochimaru approaching, Rasa let out a grunt. Without wasting time on words, his hands formed seals at dizzying speed.

The molten gold that lay scattered across the battlefield began to rise and regroup, forming a series of razor-sharp golden spears.

But Orochimaru was prepared. Without showing even a hint of concern, his hands touched the ground. "Triple Rashōmon!" he exclaimed.

With a roar, three enormous gates emerged from the ground, their demonic faces looking down on Rasa's attack.

As Orochimaru and Rasa engaged in their duel, the battlefield turned into a chaos of violence and unleashed chakra. The forces of Konoha and Sunagakure clashed fiercely.

In the midst of this pandemonium, Luo Lei remained like an eye in the center of the storm.

A sardonic smile drew on his lips as he watched the Sunagakure ninjas trying to avoid him, mixing with Konoha troops in a desperate attempt to neutralize his devastating heat vision.

"You don't believe my eyes are my only trick, do you?" he muttered with amusement.

Raising his right hand, he channeled his chakra. In an instant, a mass of pure electrical energy materialized in his palm, the air crackling with the sound of a thousand birds chirping in unison.

The Chidori, a technique he hadn't used in a long time.

'It's been so long,' he thought, marveled by the ease with which the technique flowed through him. 'With Homelander's capabilities, my ninjutsu has reached levels I never imagined possible.'

In the blink of an eye, Luo Lei's body became a mere residual image, his speed defying human comprehension.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

A series of explosions shook the battlefield. Ten Sunagakure jōnin, who had barely begun to form seals, suddenly found themselves with holes in their chests.

"How... how is this possible?" The faces of the dying Jōnin were frozen in a mask of absolute horror, their eyes fixed on the fatal wounds that had appeared as if by magic.

They tried to speak, but could only emit incoherent gurgles before collapsing.

Luo Lei didn't even bother to look at his fallen victims. "Impressive," he muttered to himself. "Even without the Sharingan, the Chidori is truly devastating."

Before integrating with Homelander's template, he had specialized in Lightning and Water elements. He had developed the Chidori in secret, aware that without the Sharingan, its effectiveness would be limited.

But now, with his body transformed by the integration with Homelander, he felt that every ninjutsu he performed produced double the results with half the effort. He could execute techniques almost without the need for hand seals.
