Those pregnant women truly could no longer suppress their craving for blood.
They no longer cared about the two people near the door, raising the drills in their hands and driving them straight down toward the young nurse on the floor.
“Save me!!” The young nurse closed her eyes in despair.
“Since they can’t be saved anymore, then just kill them!”
Shu’s figure instantly vanished from his spot.
*BANG!*
Before the nurse even had time to react, the leading mutant pregnant woman who was about to attack was directly kicked hard in the abdomen by Shu, and sent reeling backward.
Shu took advantage of that momentum to wrap his arm around the nurse’s waist, performed a light backward leap, and immediately jumped completely out of the circle of encirclement formed by those pregnant women.
(It’s not for any particular reason, but this young nurse, even though she looks scared pale, is actually quite cute and gentle too.)
Shu couldn’t help but comment on that inwardly.
The reeling pregnant women scrambled back up to their feet.
Having taken such a heavy blow, their bodies—already altered by the curse—didn’t show signs of miscarriage; instead, as if their savage nature had been triggered, their strength became immense, and their mouths mutated to grow sharp barbs.
The straws inside their mouths opened and closed, constantly dripping with disgusting thick saliva, and then they lunged forward once more like hungry wolves.
“Stand a bit further back, don’t get in the way.”
Shu casually tossed the young nurse he had saved outside the door of the inpatient room.
Then he pulled out a kunai, and without hesitation slashed with a single sweep.
“Tsunade! Take action! Don’t leave a single one!”
*PUCHI!*
Blood gushed like a fountain from the severed mouths of the mutant pregnant women, splashing all over Shu’s body.
The strength of these mutant pregnant women was actually not weak.
Perhaps because they had been thoroughly cursed, their strength, speed, and physical durability far exceeded ordinary people.
However, for someone like Shu who had undergone formal training, these monsters that merely relied on instinct to lunge posed no threat whatsoever.
After all, ninjas were a supernatural profession.
Even though Shu was only a Genin, the chakra inside his body was still capable of making his physique erupt with terrifying speed.
Before reincarnating, Shu had read several posts analyzing Naruto’s combat power, where some absurd claims stated that a Genin’s speed could reach Mach 5.
Shu could only sneer in response to that.
Mach 5 was equivalent to 1700 meters per second, or 6120 kilometers per hour!
Could this kind of speed be achieved by an ordinary Genin?
If so, ninjas would be the most overpowered profession!
In the original story, perhaps only Rock Lee opening the Eighth Gate up to the Fifth Gate and above, or the Fourth Raikage in Lightning Release Chakra mode, could touch that threshold.
However…!
Even if it didn’t reach that absurd level, a strictly trained regular Genin, with the addition of a chakra burst, achieving a short-distance charge speed of 0.5 Mach was still entirely without any problem.
That was equivalent to a terrifying speed of 170 meters per second!
As for that rumor, it was purely sheer nonsense from Naruto.
*WHOOSH!* *WHOOSH!* *WHOOSH!*
Inside the inpatient room, Shu’s figure almost turned into a blurry shadow.
*PU-CHI!* *PU-CHI!* *PU-CHI!*
The cold gleam of the kunai intertwined in the darkness, and every time that flash appeared, it was always accompanied by the downfall of a single monster.
After finishing off a sizable number of monsters.
Shu found that there was no movement at all behind him.
“Tsunade?”
Shu turned his head in confusion, and then saw a sight that made his heart sink straight down.
Tsunade’s face was as pale as paper, completely devoid of blood.
Her entire body trembled violently out of control, cold sweat poured down, and the gaze in her eyes right now was completely vacant.
Shu instinctively slapped his own forehead: “Damn it, how could I have forgotten about this! During this time period, Tsunade’s blood phobia hasn’t been cured at all!”
In the storyline during this time period in the original story, because Tsunade witnessed with her own eyes Nawaki being blown to pieces and the tragic death of Kato Dan on the battlefield, she suffered from extremely severe post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which was blood phobia.
The moment she saw a large amount of blood, Tsunade would instantly lose all of her combat capability.
And this inpatient room filled with the pungent scent of blood was like an accurate trigger for her blood phobia.
“Hah—!”
At that very brief second when Shu felt regret, the two or three remaining mutant pregnant women had already swung their sharp, thorn-filled straws and lunged toward Tsunade.
“Damn it!”
(If Tsunade dies, how are we supposed to get through tomorrow?!)
Shu cursed inwardly, the chakra beneath his feet exploded violently, and with the Body Flicker Technique he instantly darted to Tsunade’s side.
*PU-CHI!* *PU-CHI!* *PU-CHI!*
The cold gleam of the kunai in his hand lashed out in succession, instantly slicing the throats of those lunging mutant pregnant women.
“Looks like for the upcoming battles, we can’t rely on this honorable ancestor.”
He directly hoisted her entire body onto his shoulder and walked outside.
By that time, the young nurse he had saved earlier had run off to goodness knows where.
Shu’s Sharingan eyes swept around.
In that reddish field of vision, he clearly saw that across the entire inpatient building, a massive amount of dense, grayish-black curse energy clusters were still scattered about.
“The quantity is quite large, looks like there are still quite a few mutant pregnant women. Searching for them one by one is too troublesome, better to lure them out and finish them all at once!”
To attract the attention of those monsters, Shu deliberately stomped heavily on the floor, even smashing the fire extinguisher glass in the corridor casually.
An overwhelming noise echoed inside the hospital.
Hearing that movement, the mutant pregnant women hiding in every corner swarmed out of the inpatient rooms one after another, wildly chasing in Shu’s direction.
Shu carried Tsunade on his shoulder and ran around the spacious reception hall of the hospital.
Thanks to a speed far surpassing ordinary humans, he always maintained a safe distance that wasn’t too far from the mob of monsters.
Before long, a huge swarm of pitch-black mutant pregnant women, numbering in the dozens, had been successfully gathered by him in one place.
“Enough!”
Shu suddenly stopped in his tracks, and dumped Tsunade—who was still trembling—from his shoulder into a corner of the hall.
Facing the swarming mob of charging monsters, Uchiha Shu’s hands formed hand seals: Snake – Ram – Monkey – Boar – Horse – Tiger!
The moment the seals finished forming, Shu took a deep breath.
Massive fire-release chakra compressed wildly inside his mouth.
“Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!”
*SHUA!*
A scorching hot fireball spewed out violently from his mouth.
The ferocious blaze with high temperatures capable of destroying everything instantly devoured that tightly clustered mob of mutant pregnant women completely.
*Aaaakh—!*
Piteous screams echoed in succession amidst the sea of fire, but under that terrifying temperature, those sounds were quickly and completely drowned out by the roaring sound of the wildly burning flames.
The temperature in the reception hall rose sharply, and even the ceramic tiles on the floor were baked until they cracked to pieces.
A moment later, the fire slowly subsided.
In the center of the hall, what remained on the ground was merely a vast expanse of black ash emitting a pungent burning odor.
At the same time, the notification sound from the Main God Space rang out.
[Ding! Detected Reincarnator successfully gathered and wiped out a heavy curse mutation entity (mutant pregnant women group).]
