Start with Naruto Awakening - Awesome!

　Scarface recognized the newcomer and his face lit up with excitement.

　Juzo Biwa crouched down slightly, glanced at the scarred man with a strange expression, then raised his Executioner's Blade, a sinister smile on his face, and said, "Kirigakure..."

　(2/3)

　We don't need the weak!

　Amidst the scarred man's terror and screams, Pipa Juzo brutally dismembered him into eight pieces.

　"what!"

　Ye Chen watched this scene quietly, unmoved. Even among ninjas, dog-eat-dog fighting wasn't unusual.

Chapter 387 The Devouring of the Demon Blade Enma

　This content was first published here (second update).

　The atmosphere grew increasingly tense; the appearance of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist suddenly made the situation extremely tense.

　Ye Chen wasn't very familiar with this generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

　In the original work, most of the people in front of us are characters who live in the background. Only Juzo Biwa once joined the Akatsuki organization for a period of time, making an appearance and having a small role.

　As for the others, it seems that most of them were killed by Might Guy's Eight Gates kick during the Third Shinobi World War.

　Of course, this doesn't refer to Might Dai in his Eight Gates state, where the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are weaker than he is. It's estimated that apart from beings at the Six Paths level, no ninja in this world could withstand him.

　Although most of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist died, quite a few survived.

　However, their current opponent is Ye Chen, who is far more terrifying than Might Guy.

　"Konoha Rakshasa!"

　Hozuki Mangetsu, the leader of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, walked forward step by step, his expression indifferent.

　His face resembled Hozuki Suigetsu's, with a mouthful of sharp fangs like steel teeth.

　He is also Hozuki Suigetsu's older brother and the second user of the twin swords Hiramekarei.

　In Kirigakure, Hozuki Suigetsu is a renowned genius, skilled in wielding seven great swords and possessing a water-based bloodline limit.

　"I heard you defeated the Raikage. You don't look that impressive. How can you be so strong? How about I give you a try?"

　As Pipa Juzo spoke arrogantly, he approached, carrying his guillotine.

　"Try it and you'll die, are you ready?"

　Ye Chen spoke calmly, the Yama in his hand trembling slightly, emitting wisps of ghostly purple demonic energy.

　Enma, as a demon sword, possesses intelligence.

　Furthermore, it can devour the host's domineering aura. However, Ye Chen's own strength is so great that it can suppress Yama. If it were an ordinary person, they would easily be devoured by the backlash.

　This is a cursed sword, an ominous blade! "Is it because of the opponent's decapitation sword?"

　Ye Chen and Yan Mo were of one mind, and at this moment, Yan Mo actually exuded an extremely craving desire.

　Its target was the seven ninja swords. Juzo, watching the nonchalant Ye Chen, sneered, gripped the massive Executioner's Blade with both hands, then suddenly swung it forward, shouting, "Damn it, don't suddenly attack me!"

　A whistling sound as it tore through the air rang out, and Juzo had thrown his Executioner's Blade directly into the air.

　The enormous Executioner's Blade spun rapidly through the air like a dart, hurtling towards Ye Chen as if to cleave him in two instantly! Its sharpness was among the best in the entire ninja world; ordinary ninjutsu couldn't withstand its strikes. "Heh heh."

　Seeing this, Ye Chen's lips curled up, and he did not dodge.

　Under the watchful eyes of the other seven people, they faced the first attack.

　But he used the most unexpected method: simply extending a finger, he caught the massive, sweeping Executioner's Blade with his bare hand! He didn't dodge, nor did he use ninjutsu to defend; he simply caught it with his fingertips, right at the very center of the blade.

　Is this even human? How can a body of flesh and blood be compared to a decapitation blade sharp enough to split gold and shatter stone?

　Ye Chen's hands looked delicate and slender, seemingly without any strength, yet with such a simple grasp and squeeze, he held the guillotine, which was whistling through the air, in mid-air.

　(1/2)

　"So this is the Executioner's Blade, one of the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure. It doesn't seem particularly special. Its quality is decent for a ninja sword, but you know nothing about your team's strength. Who do you think you're facing?"

　Ye Chen calmly looked at the decapitation sword in his hand, then tilted his wrist downwards and gently tightened the grip on the middle of the sword.

　A crisp snap! The sound instantly echoed throughout the entire venue.

　With a clear sound of metal shattering, a crack suddenly appeared in the middle of the Executioner's Blade, where Ye Chen's fingers were gripping it. The crack then instantly spread across the entire blade.

　The crisp cracking sounds, like a thunderclap, accompanied the sudden snapping of the guillotine. Juzo Biwa was stunned, feeling as if he were living in a dream.

　How is this possible? He shattered his greatsword with just two fingers! Is this guy a monster? Of course, Juzo wasn't worried about the Executioner's Blade. The Executioner's Blade's special characteristic was that it could drink blood and continuously regenerate using the iron in the blood.

　"Enma, it's your turn."

　The decapitation blade shattered into fragments and fell to the ground. Ye Chen gently withdrew his fingers. His fingers, which appeared delicate and fragile, showed not a single scratch, as perfect as a god's.

　As soon as he finished speaking, the Yama sword slipped from his hand and plunged into the dirt where the Executioner's Blade had fallen.

　The black blade trembled incessantly, producing a continuous series of metallic clanging sounds.

　The seven members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were confused about what had happened, only feeling that the surrounding air seemed to have become even more eerie and chilling.

　A faint, eerie laugh seemed to echo, followed by a chilling gust of wind that swept through the air, dispersing the thick fog.

　Before the eyes of those present, Enma's blade released bursts of eerie purple demonic energy! This demonic energy permeated the air, taking various shapes, but most of them looked as bizarre as ghost faces.

　They pounced on the fragments of the decapitation sword, devouring it in the blink of an eye.

　After about ten breaths, the purple demonic energy returned to the Yama Blade.

　At the scene, the fragments of the decapitation sword vanished into thin air after a gust of cold wind, leaving no trace.

　For some reason, upon seeing this scene, Juzo Biwa was speechless, feeling an indescribable chill run down his spine. He trembled and said, "It's fake, isn't it!"

　"Are you kidding me? The decapitation sword has disappeared!"

　Ye Chen was also surprised that Yama had actually devoured the Executioner's Blade; he had never seen anything like this before.

　I didn't see Enma being this proactive when I obtained the Kusanagi Sword before.

　Regardless, this sword is truly somewhat eerie! After absorbing the Executioner's Blade, Enma didn't undergo any strange changes; however, it did feel considerably heavier in his hand.

　"What kind of ability is this?"

　The seven-member group of Sushiyama Fuguki exclaimed in surprise, instinctively tightening their grip on Samehada.

　Not just him, but everyone else too! Their ninja swords were their lives; as long as they were alive, their swords were alive; when they died, their swords were forgotten! Most of their strength also lay in their ninja swords! "The Leaf Village Rascal seems to have some skill. Let's all attack and kill it!"

　"It's me!" said Hozuki Senjin, his gaze grave, as he gripped his twin swords, Hiramekarei, in each hand.

　The previous statement was incorrect. The first leader of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist was Hozuki Senjin, and the second leader was Hozuki Mangetsu.

Chapter 388 Water Release vs. Lightning Release

　This content is being published for the first time (first update).

　"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!!"

　Hozuki Senjin stared at the Konoha Rasetsu before him, took a deep breath, and his expression suddenly darkened. Then, he abruptly formed hand seals.

　As members of the Hozuki clan, their mastery of Water Release ninjutsu is almost unparalleled; the entire Hozuki clan's understanding of Water Release is truly profound.

　In the blink of an eye, Hozuki Senjin swiftly completed the complex hand seals.

　The Water Release technique, unleashed by Hozuki Senjin, possessed a terrifying power akin to a high-level ninjutsu. The torrent of water surged skyward, seemingly threatening to engulf everything! The terrifying flow of water transformed into a curtain of light, pressing down from the sky.

　The waves were so high that they even swept through the forest they were in, which was astonishing.

　At the same time, behind Hozuki Senjin, the other members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Seven, including Kurosuki Raiga, Kurihara Kushimaru, and Toushirou Norito, formed hand seals together.

　"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

　Within the terrifying waterfall unleashed by Hozuki Senjin, countless powerful water dragons suddenly surged forth, roaring as they crashed down upon Ye Chen.

　In an instant, the entire forest seemed to be submerged by the waterfall, transforming into a vast river. It's worth noting that in the original story, when Kisame and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki were fighting, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist used Water Release techniques to envelop an area spanning several miles in a river, much like Gaara's sandstorms directly altered the terrain.

　Currently, with the added benefit of Hozuki Senjin's bloodline limit, there isn't much difference between the two.

　"This level of water-based technique could easily be called a sea-based technique."

　Interesting, but if that's all you've got, you can't do anything to me.

　Ye Chen was enveloped by the massive waterfall, like a small boat swaying in the wind, seemingly about to be swallowed up at any moment.

　Looking at the towering waves and raging water jets, his expression remained remarkably calm.

　"Let that guy see the power of Kirigakure!"

　"What kind of Leaf Village Rakshasas are they? They're utterly helpless against this kind of power."

　The seven men and seven women wore expressions of excitement, each revealing a bloodthirsty glint in their eyes.

　Only one person, Pipa Juzo, took a few imperceptible steps back.

　Instinct told him that a deadly crisis was quietly approaching! As this large-scale water-style combined attack ninjutsu took shape, towering waves and flying water dragons appeared.

　Ye Chen was no longer visible to the naked eye, as the entire sky before them was covered by towering waves. What was falling didn't seem like waves, but rather a collapsing ocean, capable of shattering everything.

　"it's over!"

　Hozuki Senjin roared, and the giant waves suddenly surged and crashed, creating a crackling, squeezing sound.

　Forest trees, rocks, and soil were crushed and pulverized by the immense water pressure.
