Naruto: Reborn as Zoro

Zoro manages to lower the Suna shinobi's morale with his talk. Now they are hesitant to fight with Zoro and instead look strangely at their Kazekage who seems really angry.

"What are you guys looking like that for? Are you saying you believe in your enemy's words? Do you think what he says is credible? He is just a bounty hunter who dwells with criminals. As if what he says can be believed. Besides, no matter what he says, isn't it true that he is our enemy? He comes here to attack our village and you are now hesitating whether to attack him or not? Are you out of your mind?" Rasa tries to remove Zoro's influence on his men's morale.

The other high-ranking ninjas also say similar things to support him. As he says, the current enemy is Zoro. They can think of anything else later after they defeat him because he is a threat to their village now.

"Don't be fooled by him! He just tries to lower our morale because he knows he will lose without doing that. After all, he is alone."

It seems to work because the shinobi's hesitant expressions have mostly gone. Zoro sighs, but it doesn't make him scared to still fight these many people. After all, his goal by saying all those things is just to plant seeds of distrust to Rasa on them as his revenge for all the trouble Rasa caused on him.

The Suna shinobi are ready to fight Zoro because now he is their enemy that threatens their village. They can think of their internal problem later, but this external threat needs to be removed first because it endangers their families and friends.

"ATTACK!"

Under Rasa's command, the thousands of Suna shinobi charge at Zoro. He just smirks while looking at the numerous people coming at him. He still only has Enma in his hand and hasn't unsheathed the other 2.

Sand dust raises high behind the Suna shinobi, making their charge look more intimidating. But Zoro is calm and he even walks slowly towards them without any sense of urgency and danger even though so many people are coming to attack him.

It doesn't take long for the shinobi to reach his position. They are just about to send their attacks like throwing weapons or jutsu. But then something unexpected happens.

Zoro just looks at them coming. Then his eyes suddenly widen, his pupils are contracting, and green light seems to flash in his eyes. He doesn't say a word and suddenly thousands of Suna shinobi fall unconsciously on the ground.

Those who don't fall unconscious are trembling in fear. They suddenly feel a very intimidating pressure coming from Zoro. He has just released his Conqueror Haki at full power.

"W-wh-what happens?"

"T-thousands of people suddenly fall? W-what kind of jutsu is this?"

The Suna higher-ups that stay behind are in disbelief by what they have just seen. Zoro has just defeated thousands of people without lifting even a single finger and they don't know how he did it.

They weren't hit by Zoro's Conqueror Haki because Zoro only targeted the weak ones to massively reduce their number. Yet, they are still trembling in fear because they never saw anything like this their whole life.

Even Rasa is trembling in disbelief and a little sense of fear appears in his heart. He has fought against many strong opponents, but this is the first time he sees someone defeating thousands of people at once so easily.

"Weaklings should have just stayed at home. What are you sending these weak genins and chuunins for? Do you think they can even scratch my skin? They should've just trained instead of fighting me."

Zoro grins sinisterly while walking among the fallen ninjas. He walks calmly, yet it's enough to scare the Jonins that don't faint. They are still affected by Zoro's intimidating Conqueror Haki even though it's not enough to make them faint.

"Are you going to just stand there or continue the fight? If you don't want to fight, then just take these weaklings back to your village. I didn't kill them, they just fainted. So take them away from here, they are on the way."

Zoro finally unsheathes Sandai Kitetsu, leaving only Wado Ichimonji in its scabbard. Then he charges to attack the jonins while covering his swords with Armament Haki.

Most of the jonins have gotten scared of him, so they can't respond to his attack well. Without his tons of training weights, Zoro can move very fast even on sand and his attacks are so powerful.

Shinobi are flying everywhere as Zoro moves around the battlefield. He doesn't show skillful and swift movements like Madara. Each of his attacks is just too powerful to be blocked.

Using Observation Haki, Zoro senses everyone around him and their intentions. He can dodge or block even attacks that come from his blindspots thanks to his Observation Haki.

When the ninjas throw weapons, he blocks and dodges them. But if those weapons have paper bombs, he deflected them, sending them elsewhere to explode and defeat more Suna shinobi.

Zoro doesn't use any big techniques and only swings his swords. There are no energy blades flying out of his swords. He only uses normal attacks to show his high-level swordsmanship. It's also to save his energy.

He only uses 2 swords for a while, but then he finally unsheathes Wado Ichimonji as more and more enemies are attacking him. His movements also become more agile and he even uses his legs sometimes.

Zoro's fighting style isn't just limited to his swords and he will use his other body parts if necessary. His swords are his main weapons, but his body is also his weapons. So he can use feet, knees, elbows, shoulders, or even head to attack if necessary.

While Zoro fights a lot of shinobi, a lot of them are also evacuating the defeated ones, be they the ones who got hit by Zoro's Conqueror Haki or the ones hit by his swords.

To their surprise, no one really dies from Zoro's attacks. Even the ones who get hit by his swords don't have any cut wounds. Their flak jackets are ripped, but their skin only gets bruises as if they were hit by dull swords.

It happens because Zoro controls his swords to not cut anyone. A swordsman of his level can control what he'll cut and what he won't cut. His swords can cut steel, but it won't even cut a paper if he wants it.

He doesn't intend to cut anyone, that's why none of them get cut by his swords. But his attacks are still so powerful that they get knocked out instantly.

They might get broken bones or organs, but at least they won't die if they get treated. If Zoro intends to cut them, then they won't even have the chance to be treated because their bodies will be cut in half and they'll die instantly.

"W-what kind of monster is he?" A senior ninja who stays at the back to give command can't believe what he sees now.

A single man singlehandedly defeats thousands of their ninjas without getting any serious injuries. Their skilled ninjas only manage to scratch Zoro's skin at most.

No matter what they use, it's useless. Their weapons are blocked and dodged while their ninjutsu are destroyed. Zoro can cut their ninjutsu with his swords and destroy them.

This is something he learned to do years ago because of his job as a bounty hunter. His targets are high rank ninjas with powerful ninjutsu. So if he can't cut and destroy their ninjutsu, then he won't be able to defeat them.

After a lot of trials and failures, he finally learned the method. He simply needs to use a little amount of his chakra on his attacks.

But the power to cut and destroy the ninjutsu still depends on his swordsmanship. His chakra is only used to support his swordsmanship skills, making them able to touch the ninjutsu much easier and break the chakra in the ninjutsu.

The concept is simple, but executing it is not that easy. Land of Iron's samurai always use chakra on their swordsmanship, but they can't do it. That's because their swordsmanship skills are much lower than Zoro and they can only cut, unlike Zoro who can cut or not, depending on his intention.

"RETREAT!"

Rasa suddenly orders his men to retreat after seeing no one can really do anything to Zoro. So many ninjas have been defeated, yet Zoro only receives some shallow cut wounds and he doesn't even look hurt or tired.

"Seems like just using numbers won't work. We need a few but powerful individuals. I'll go, support me."

Rasa the 4th Kazekage will finally make his move now. It makes Zoro excited because now the real battle will start.
