At this very moment, the Mist bosses leading the charge finally turned their wary gazes toward Ning Feng.
As mid–genin-level fighters, they all possessed real life-and-death combat experience. They could clearly sense the terrifying killing intent emanating from Ning Feng—something they had never felt from other Konoha ninjas.
"Everyone, stop. The surrounding area has been rigged with explosive tags. Be careful."
Suddenly, the leading Mist boss [Hoshigaki Sweetpepper] spoke up calmly, raising a hand to halt the Mist players behind him.
Only then did the Mist players realize—explosive tags could actually be used like this.
Instantly, the looks they cast toward Uchiha Peak were filled with deep shock.
It hadn't even been that long since launch, yet there was already a player capable of using explosive tags so ingeniously…
What did this mean?
No one understood it better than these Mist players.
Not far away, seeing the Mist bosses slow down and cautiously examine the chakra threads connected to the explosive tags, Ning Feng frowned slightly.
In most online games, bosses like these Mist bosses would usually be targets you could steamroll with ease.
But in this Naruto online world, Ning Feng was, for the first time, truly experiencing the intelligence of bosses—the intelligence of mid-genin ninjas.
Only now did he fully understand why the Chūnin Exams were so difficult.
If mid-genin ninjas were already this smart and troublesome, then what about chūnin?
What about jōnin!?
Just as Ning Feng was thinking this, the Mist boss [Hoshigaki Sweetpepper] suddenly began forming hand seals at lightning speed.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Tornado—!"
His hand seals were incredibly fast. At the same time, two massive water dragons surged up behind him, roaring furiously as they charged straight toward Ning Feng!
Anyone could see it clearly—under such a water-style jutsu, the explosive tags Ning Feng had set up would instantly become useless.
And without explosive tags, Ning Feng would be like a toothless tiger.
Seeing this, many Mist players couldn't help but curl their lips into cold smiles.
So what if you're strong, Uchiha Peak?
Even the Mist bosses themselves visibly relaxed.
However—
At that exact moment, the Ning Feng standing in front of them suddenly turned into a burst of bubbles and vanished without a trace, as if he had never existed at all.
The next second—
A Mist player beside [Hoshigaki Sweetpepper] suddenly pulled out a sharp kunai and stabbed straight into Sweetpepper's back!
At the same time, the remaining explosive tags were flung in all directions and detonated instantly!
"Huh!? Transformation Jutsu!?"
"Shadow Clone and Transformation used together!?"
Only when the kunai pierced through his body did [Hoshigaki Sweetpepper] finally realize what had happened.
The "Ning Feng" standing in the distance had merely been bait, meant to draw all their attention.
The explosive tags were only one part of the plan.
The real goal had been to use Transformation Jutsu to disguise himself and strike at the perfect moment.
A three-digit damage number burst out. Combined with the backstab bonus, Sweetpepper's HP bar instantly hit bottom.
Before he could react at all, the explosive tags thrown nearby detonated.
As for the other Mist players and bosses—their attention had all been focused on the distant Ning Feng. Who could have imagined that he had been lurking right beside them the entire time!?
BOOOOM!
Another violent explosion echoed through the air.
In the deafening blast, countless Mist players were instantly sent back to the respawn point.
The three Mist bosses fared no better—each was blasted violently away, smashing into buildings and leaving human-shaped craters behind.
They died—clean and complete.
Whoosh!
Ning Feng landed calmly on a nearby rooftop, his scarlet Sharingan glowing with an eerie light.
The smile on his composed face grew even brighter.
In truth, Ning Feng had already planned all of this the moment the Mist players began advancing.
Having read the original Naruto countless times and witnessed endless tactical feints and ambushes, Ning Feng was already extremely adept at this kind of misdirection.
What was even more remarkable was that he had lain hidden among the Mist bosses for so long—
and not a single person had noticed him.
Just as Ning Feng was thinking, a series of crisp system notifications rang out:
"Congratulations! You have slain Mist Boss [Hoshigaki Sweetpepper]! You gain an additional 30,000 instance points!""Congratulations! You have slain Mist Boss [Sanshō Tamamo]! You gain an additional 30,000 instance points!""Congratulations! You have slain Mist Boss [Oni Yuzu Ichirōta]! You gain an additional 30,000 instance points!""Congratulations! You have completed a Three-Hundred-Man Slaughter! You gain an additional 20,000 instance points!"
A cascade of notifications followed.
Ning Feng grinned slightly.
Just the bonus instance points alone totaled 110,000—now the question was what he could exchange them for.
With the three Silver-tier bosses defeated, the large-scale instance should be ending as well.
Sure enough, three world announcements immediately flooded the global channel:
[World Announcement]: Player Uchiha Peak has single-handedly slaughtered hundreds of Mist players and repelled the Mist bosses' assault.
The large-scale instance [Protect Kushina Uzumaki] is about to end.
Players may exchange their instance points with Uzumaki Kushina afterward!
[World Announcement]: Player Uchiha Peak has single-handedly slaughtered hundreds of Mist players…
[World Announcement]: Player Uchiha Peak has single-handedly slaughtered hundreds of Mist players…
The world channel instantly erupted once more.
Especially the Mist players—many of them started cursing nonstop.
"Damn it, this is unfair! Uchiha Peak set up who-knows-how-many explosive tags around the objective. My friends and I just walked over and got blown sky-high! I'm reporting him!"
"Upstairs is an idiot. Explosive tags are ninja tools—why can't they be used? You stepped on them yourselves, whose fault is that!?"
"Seriously, you guys didn't see it—my teammate was standing next to me, and suddenly he turned into Uchiha Peak. Is Transformation Jutsu really this broken now!?"
"Yeah! He used Transformation together with Shadow Clones. My friends and I were completely stunned…
Who would've thought jutsu could be used like that!?"
The legend of Uchiha Peak had only just begun.
