Konoha: Starting the Game as Yoriichi

In the darkness, inside the Sand Village's ANBU base, it was currently a scene of chaos. A good number of elite chunin and jonin were stationed here, and there was even an elite jonin-level captain. But through their communication with the outside world, they understood that the intruder was none other than the ruthless man who had, a short while ago, cut down the vast majority of the Sand ninja and thrashed the One-Tailed Shukaku.

The Asura of Konoha. A monster even more terrifying than a Tailed Beast.

"Everyone, this matter concerns the honor of our Sand Village, the reputation of our Land of Wind," the elite jonin-level captain said, his voice deep as he looked around at his subordinates. "Even if we have to give our lives, we absolutely cannot let that bastard kill his way in and out. This is a complete disregard for us Sand ninja."

"Yes, sir!" the Sand ninja responded in unison, their expressions all solemn. A resolve to face death was on every face. Since they had become ninja, they had long been prepared for a day of life or death. The honor of the Land of Wind and the Village Hidden in the Sand could not be insulted.

POW!

A powerful airflow. A violent explosion roared. They looked back and were horrified to find that the wall had been cut open by a single slash. Countless shattered stones and special sand and dirt fell with a clatter. The entire ANBU building shook violently under the power of this one slash.

"Not good! The building's structure is damaged, it might collapse!" An ANBU jonin with quick eyes and hands immediately clapped his hands together to form a seal. A large amount of chakra surged from his body, and then, one wisp after another of yellow sand began to fill the wall, gradually stabilizing it until it no longer shook so much. To be on the safe side, even the holes in the ceiling were patched up.

At the same time, from the hole in the wall that had been cut open by the sword, a boy in red walked out. He held a sword. His appearance was handsome, his temperament outstanding. On his forehead was a mysterious and noble mark. It seemed that, combined with the gloomy environment here, he had an air of "do not approach."

Kusuo's gaze shot straight over. An intimidating aura also washed over them.

"Gulp, gulp..." With a series of sharp inhalations, followed by the sound of swallowing rising and falling, everyone felt that this was no boy. This was clearly a messenger from hell. The courage that had just been stirred up by their captain's encouragement vanished in the blink of an eye.

"Not a bad technique."

The moment Kusuo came in, he saw the ANBU ninja's hand movements. When he broke in, he hadn't bothered with the main gate and had just cut through the wall. Now that the ANBU building had been thoroughly reinforced, it should be able to withstand a few more of his slashes, right? Kusuo couldn't care less about the building collapsing.

SWISH!

A sword aura like a rainbow. A blade like a cold, frosty sword cut through the entire space like a long meteor. Brilliant. Dazzling. And beneath the beauty was killing intent, was coldness.

In the terrified eyes of these ANBU ninja, this one slash firmly locked onto them and roared towards all their bodies.

"Captain, I..." Many of them still wanted to turn their heads to their elite jonin captain for help, but found that their heads had already been separated from their bodies. What made them despair the most was that in their dying moments, they clearly saw that even their elite jonin-level captain had a hard time blocking that one slash.

They... didn't even get to exchange words with this Asura from Konoha before they were killed by a single slash.

Dead. All dead.

And with that, the entire ANBU building's forces were annihilated.

From beginning to end, Kusuo had only used five slashes.

A complete steamroll. One man, one sword, had literally cut his way through the Sand Village's ANBU building.

Outside, the crowd was in an uproar. They were all agitated, shouting to rush in and kill the trespasser.

However, at this moment, the face of the sensory-type ninja responsible for investigation suddenly went blank. He was dumbfounded. He was scared silly. As if his heart had turned to dead ashes, his face instantly turned pale.

Seeing this, another ANBU captain outside felt his heart sink. He immediately asked in a deep voice, "What happened inside? Speak quickly!"

Under the captain's forceful questioning, the pale-faced sensory-type ninja came back to his senses. Finally, with trembling lips, he said, "Our... our men... are all... all dead!"

The moment these words came out... Hiss.

Stunned. The entire scene fell silent. Everyone's eyes widened, as if they had just heard something unbelievable.

After a long time, the crowd boiled over. The entire place was in an uproar.

"No."

"This is impossible!"

"That's the ANBU! Our Sand Village's most powerful organization! The vast majority of our powerhouses are all there! How could they be taken out by a single Konoha ninja, completely slaughtered?"

"It's fake."

"This is fake."

"He must have sensed it wrong!"

"Yes! That must be it!"

The commoners of the Sand Village were the first to be unable to accept it. The ANBU was the core strength of a village. It gathered almost all the talented ninja. And now, you're telling me it was wiped out by one person? How is that possible?

But the chunin and higher-level ninja who knew the inside story were silent. They didn't say a word. Including the ANBU captain who had been so imposing just now.

"Lord Captain! What he just said isn't true, is it?" Some of the chunin still looked at him with disbelief, hoping to get a different answer. However, it was still silence. Most of the powerful ninja didn't speak.

Those clamoring villagers and newly graduated genin also began to feel vaguely uneasy. Could it be... that this was all true? One person, breaking into the ANBU alone, and slaughtering them clean?

What a humiliation!

"What are you all shouting about!" Suddenly, five people walked out from the rear. They were Baki, who had been pushed to the forefront as the acting Kazekage after the Fourth's death, and Chiyo, who supported him from behind. The other three were the higher-ups of the Sand Village. In their youth, they had all possessed strength infinitely close to, or even reaching, the Kage level.

The moment these five people appeared, everyone seemed to have found their backbone, looking at them with eager eyes. Along the way, they all made way for them.

"Lord Baki! Granny Chiyo!"

"Great! The elders are here!"

"Lord Baki and Granny Chiyo will definitely kill that arrogant Konoha ninja on the spot! Let him know the power of our Sand Village!"

They chattered amongst themselves, as if they had seen hope.

But Baki, Chiyo, and the others quickly walked to the ANBU captain's side, and the few of them exchanged glances. Everything happened in a flash of lightning. The horror in the captain's eyes was transmitted to them.

POW!

A huge explosion roared. The crowd was startled. It was the entrance to the ANBU building, which had been blasted open by someone.

Then, a boy in fluttering red clothes walked out from within. He held a sword. He even looked at them and smiled, nodding.

"Is that a fake?"

"How can it be... a boy?"

"The one who broke into our Sand ANBU building is actually such a young boy."

At this scene, the worldview of some of the genin and chunin was about to collapse. This... If there really was such a powerful and cruel ninja who would single-handedly annihilate a village's ANBU, they would have subconsciously thought it was a powerful ninja like Madara Uchiha of the past. Tall, cold, and taciturn. Most importantly, an adult.

But reality had given them a big slap in the face. It turned out the person who had annihilated their ANBU was a graceful young man.

To avoid panic, not all the villagers and ninja knew that Konoha had a boy monster who had once cut down the One-Tailed Shukaku with one man and one sword. Even if there were rumors in the streets, everyone scoffed at them, thinking they were false. After all, only a Jinchuriki-level existence, like Gaara, could barely reach the level of the rumors.

"Hello there," Kusuo said, somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected so many people to be gathered outside to welcome him. Among the leaders, he could recognize Baki and Chiyo at a glance. The remaining few, whose temperament was clearly different from the others, must be the Sand Village's high council of elders and the other captain. To be able to become the ANBU captain of a village, they definitely had the strength. For example, Konoha's captain could summon a pillar large enough to imprison Pain's summoned beasts and roast them with heavenly fire. The strength of the five great villages was uneven, but they probably weren't that far apart.

In short, the people before him were all the high-end power of the Land of Wind's Sand Village.

"Who might you be, and why did you attack our ANBU without reason?" Chiyo, as expected of an old woman who had lived a long life, immediately tried to put a big hat on Kusuo's head.

But Kusuo was not restricted by this big hat at all. Instead, he sneered. "Who I am, you should have already thoroughly researched with countless intelligence reports. Why bother asking? As for why I attacked your ANBU... a mere Sand Village, isn't it a place where I can come and go as I please? Do I need to report to you when I annihilate your ANBU?"

Kusuo's face was calm, his light tone stinging everyone. Especially Baki and the three elders, who were the representatives of the Sand Village on the surface. Their faces were as grim as water. They said in a deep voice, "Your meaning is that our Sand Village is a place where you can come and go as you please!?"

"Hmph! What a joke!"

A violent chakra shot into the sky, coiling around these few elders.

BOOM! The ground was cracked by the fluctuation of this chakra. The crowd standing behind them was also pushed back by the impact, almost falling to the ground. But there was no complaint on their faces. The stronger the elders were, the more confident they felt.

Kusuo squinted his eyes, looking at the chakra fluctuation of these three elders. It was roughly hovering at the Kage level. The kind of strength that had just touched the threshold but was not yet a veteran. If they were in their youth, they would have been full-fledged Kage-level powerhouses without a doubt. Unfortunately, they were old now. Their strength had long since weakened considerably.

"If I kill them, will it increase my role-play percentage according to the Kage-level standard?" Kusuo murmured in a low voice.

This low whisper was heard by the three elders, and their faces immediately became furious. This brat actually... said he wanted to kill them right in front of them?! Although he didn't understand the meaning of the last sentence, the first sentence clearly showed that he already saw them as people he could kill at will.

"Hmph!" One of the Sand elders slammed the scepter in his hand heavily and snorted.

"Young man, don't be too arrogant. This is the Sand Village! Our territory."
