Explosive Experience

I don't own solo leveling or Naruto

Sasuke broke the protruding arrow off his body and activated the curse mark, letting the strange black markings cover his entire body from head to toe.

'These guys are all on a completely different level from all the other creatures here.' Sasuke glared at the elves watching them leap down from their perches within the trees. He would need all of his powers to get out of this predicament and even in the worst case scenario... Run away.

He flipped back avoiding a volley of arrows shot at him, he then put his arms up in a cross guard because the arrows exploded upon making contact with the ground.

He was sent tumbling back a couple of metres away from the red portal. Seeing that he was being flanked by a bulky elf he sprung up and landed a heel right on its jaw and pushed it high into the air. Weaving several hand signs to superheat the chakra within his body.

Multiple balls of fire were spit from his mouth towards various targets causing them to get blown back by the concussive force.

"Hahaha... What an interesting human you are!" the leader elf laughed with that cheshire grin on its face. Sasuke landed gracefully on the ground watching as his opponents began to recover from his fireball barrage.

"I can't say I've ever been glad to have someone to talk to..." Sasuke saw the elf's eyes widen a fraction at his words. "You can speak our tongue? No...rather you understand what it is I'm saying. Very interesting!"

"So, what's your deal? Did I step into your territory or something?" Sasuke asked very nonchalantly, as if he was speaking about the weather. He had grown tired of everything in this damn forest trying to kill him and he was wanting answers for his trouble.

"Yes and no." it replied, fixing up the green cap on its pointy eared head. "You see we have this voice in our heads..."

'Voice?' Sasuke raised a brow.

"... It tells us to kill humans and since you're a human... Well, we have to kill you." it explained jabbing a thumb at its head for emphasis. Sasuke stayed silent with a calculating look in his scarlet eyes, trying to forge a scenario where gets out of here in one piece.

"So I'm assuming it's you guys that ambushed those guys back there with a serpent. I found wounds only an arrow could make on the corpses, I thought that maybe they had fired at each other by accident, but that seemed unlikely," he said, knowing that there was a third party involved with those strangers, but it honestly could have been any number of creatures within the forest.

"That's right, it was us. We're patrolling for any strong adversaries but they were all trash, however you aren't trash so we'll play with you a little," the elf explained, confirming all of Sasuke's thoughts and theories about those strangers in strange armour.

'He likes to talk,but thanks to that I was able to replenish some of my reserves,' He channelled chakra into the soles of his feet and attempted to blitz the leader elf with body flicker.

His surprise attack was easily seen through and blocked by the elf as he held Sasuke's arm in his grasp. The two were locked in a struggle and the elf saw it fit for an exchange of names. "A very interesting guy indeed! The names Ivar and you...?"

"Sasuke Uchiha."

"Is this all there is to offer at the moment?" Cha Hae-In questioned, covering her nose with a handkerchief. One of the few people in the world to be able to smell mana, but that meant the smell of other hunters and monsters was foul to her.
