[A/N - This chapter might not be suited for those under 18. It will involve some gore.]

The bandits, as well as the ninjas, didn't understand what move was made. But considering that it was made by a kid, they didn't attach a lot of importance to it. The slash didn't have any color, so they couldn't actually see an incoming slash. Instead, they just noticed wind moving towards them at a high speed and dust rising up as the winds approached them.

The bandits hadn't ever seen any Ninjutsu. So they just kept running straight banking on their numbers. The ninjas, however, were alert. When the slash came close, they jumped 5-6 feet in the air to avoid it.

When the slash reached them, it was around 50 meters wide! It first hit the bandits who were running like bulls. It immediately cut them in half at their abdomens. The bandits who were following them didn't get any time to react and were cut in two as well.

Next, the sharp winds that were generated by the slash hit the jumping ninjas. It created shallow cuts all over their body. The unfortunate ones had their throats or wrists slit open. A few had winds cutting through their nails and skin, causing them to scream loudly in pain. Almost all had their eyes getting cut by the winds.

In all, only 4 Genins and 2 Chunins were lucky, or perhaps unlucky, to survive. 1 Chunin and 2 Genins lost both their eyes, while the remaining 2 genins lost an eye each. They were horrified.

The entire first wave of 50 bandits and ninjas was defeated by a single swing of the sword. And it still wasn't over.

The bandits in the 2nd wave, who had just reached the edge of the forest, were terrified of what they saw happen to their fellow bandits. Color drained from their face at that sight.

The sword slash, which was initially colorless, now had a tinge of blood-red color to it. In no time, it hit the forest and flew through it, cutting down bandits and trees alike.

Unlike the bandits, the ninjas in this group reacted quickly. Some dug underground. Some grouped together and created a layered Rock shield protection. Others just ran up the trees to the top and jumped as high as they could.

After penetrating around 40 meters into the forest, the slash lost its edge and died down due to the high number of trees in its path.

The attack littered the field with blood and pieces of human bodies. The forest adjacent to the open field was completely in ruins!

Though this attack was watched by a lot of people, none of them knew, that this was the start of a Legend! In the future, this attack would form the groundwork for that young man to create a whole new combat style that would wreak havoc in the ninja world!

Hoka and Mieko were stupefied on seeing the result of a single swing of Fujin's sword! Their mouths were wide open in shock!

Unlike them, who were just shocked due to Fujin's attack, the 50 bandits on the hill who saw the attack were terrified. The scene seemed like an extremely bad nightmare. A few bandits fainted due to fear and trauma. One bandit yelled in terror. That woke up the rest and they began scurrying away.

Even the ninjas were terrified and began retreating along with the bandits. Tamanaha Norio, who was leading them, wanted to stop them, but he realized that there was no point in stopping them as their morale had hit rock bottom. So he decided to retreat and regroup. While retreating, he looked at the kid who swung the sword and thought, ‘That’s a genin?’

Seeing them about to retreat, Renjiro sighed and created a shadow clone. 'I knew Fujin's attack would create such an impact.' He looked at the scurrying bandits and smirked, 'These guys are really unfortunate.'

He and his clone slammed their hands on the ground, pouring a huge amount of chakra into it.

'Earth Release : Rock Avalanche jutsu'

'Earth Release : Mud River jutsu'

As soon as they slammed their hands on the ground, a Rock avalanche formed and began rolling down the hill.

The ninjas were about to run away, when the ground under their feet turned into mud, making them lose their balance and fall. Everyone one of them fell into the mud river, including the Jounin. And a few seconds later, the Rock avalanche went down the river.

The bandits as well as the ninjas saw the terrifying scene in front of them. They couldn’t move, as their legs were stuck in the mud river. The river began dragging them down the slope, toward those murders down the hill. And, in front of them, huge rocks were rolling toward them. They yelled in despair, but in a mere few seconds, they were all crushed to death. Only 1 survived!

Tamanaha Norio, too, freaked out seeing the huge rocks rolling toward him. He was about to jump when his legs got stuck in the mud river that suddenly formed under him. The mud then began moving down the hill at a quick speed. He quickly made a few hand signs, ‘Water Prison Jutsu’

A water barrier soon formed around him. At the next second, a rock rolled down on him. It hit the water bubble and pushed it to the bottom of the mud river. But it couldn’t pop it.

The rock was about to roll over. So Norio sighed in relief. Unfortunately for him, in the next second, a stone spear appeared at the bottom of the mud river and penetrated through it. It quickly penetrated the water prison bubble. Norio noticed the spear at the last moment and tried to get out of the way. It still stabbed through his body, but he was able to avoid getting hit on any vital body part.

Renjiro was surprised when he sensed that the guy was still alive. However he wasn’t worried, ‘He is just extending his own misery.’

While he managed to stay alive, getting stabbed by the spear disrupted his control over the water prison. It collapsed and he got buried under mud. Norio gritted his teeth, with blood flowing through his mouth, and forced himself against the flow of the river, trying to remove the stone spear from his body.

Unfortunately for him, his struggle, grit, and determination for survival will never be known to anyone. At the next moment, small spikes began growing out of the spear that stabbed him. That stopped his attempt to move immediately, causing him to yell in pain and vomit more blood. When he yelled, the mud from the river entered his mouth.

Soon the small spikes grew into spears, poking out of his body. His struggle finally ended, as he died, with a dozen stone spears poking out of his body and he was buried 10 meters deep in a mud river.

[A/N - Initially wanted to name this chapter - 'Life is Fragile' due to all the deaths in it. Just couldn't resist naming it what I did though]
