The hundred-meter-high Susanoo gives an immense visual shock.
Ordinary people shiver and bow in awe at a single glance.
The Konoha frontline regular army overcame the mountain-shaking aura of Susanoo. They had fought their way out of piles of corpses, long indifferent to life and death.
"Charge together, don't be afraid of him! His chakra can't be endless!"
Shinnosuke took the lead, spitting out several enormous rock cannons from his mouth.
As big as buckets, they slammed into the red giant with a booming sound.
With a few pops, the rock cannons turned to sand; these hard stones couldn't pierce Susanoo's defense.
Kairen crossed his arms, looking down at the Konoha ninja below, his eyes devoid of any seriousness.
"Is this all? Truly disappointing!"
"Hmph!"
Shinnosuke snorted: "Once I break your defense, let's see if you can still be so carefree?!"
"Combine Earth Release!"
About twenty Earth Release ninjas performed the technique together, instantly creating a massive swamp beneath Kairen.
"Combine Water Release: Water Shockwave!"
Another group of Water Release ninjas sprayed water together.
The continuous water stream mixed with the Yomi Swamp, forming a swamp with even stronger suction.
It was as if a giant hand below grabbed at Susanoo's feet, pulling it down.
Above the high platform.
Sarutobi Hiruzen summoned Enma; Enma transformed into the Adamantine Staff.
Sarutobi Hiruzen held the staff calmly, watching the crimson giant about to sink into the swamp.
Then, Tsunade's expression turned cold: "Sensei… no, I want to know something!"
"Speak!"
"Does Grandpa Tobirama's death have anything to do with you?!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was shocked, turning to Tsunade, whose face was cold: "How did you—"
Though Hiruzen didn't answer, his expression already gave Tsunade the answer.
"Hehe…"
Orochimaru chuckled sinisterly, glancing at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a look of intrigue, as if he had just heard something remarkable.
This usually gentle teacher hides quite a lot!
Toadzo shouted: "Ribbit! Stop arguing, handling the main task is urgent. As for Tsunade… capture her and detain her; we'll deal with Kairen later!"
"Hmph!"
Tsunade snorted, releasing a powerful aura. Black markings appeared on her face, marking her battle form.
Tsunade said coldly: "Today, I will reclaim everything the Senju Clan has lost."
Orochimaru laughed and stepped forward, looking at Tsunade with contempt: "Let me handle you, Tsunade!"
"Orochimaru, today I will crush you!"
"Hmph!"
War among the three legendary ninjas was about to erupt.
…
At Konoha Hospital, Jiraiya leisurely wrote a risqué book, wrapped in bandages.
He occasionally teased the nurse who came to change his dressing, occasionally imagining the story in the book.
He glanced out the window; the sunlight was warm, the scenery beautiful.
"Speaking of which, today is the Chūnin Exams, right? I wonder how it's going."
Jiraiya stopped writing, looking at the bandages on his chest, and sighed suddenly.
"Sigh… I'm old, I can't even beat a kid. Looks like it's time for me to retire!"
Jiraiya was only in his early thirties, cheerful and open-minded in personality, yet filled with countless worries.
Kairen had killed the Daimyō of the Land of Fire, effectively taking control of the village, and his power was not something ordinary people could handle.
Jiraiya saw it clearly.
In the Warring States era, the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara dominated the ninja world; Kairen had already grown to their level.
The struggle between the village and Kairen would inevitably be a thrilling contest of dragons and tigers.
Suddenly, a faint sound of battle in the air caught Jiraiya's attention.
It was followed by a noise like a powerful blower.
"Da da da…"
"Boom boom boom…"
Like the shriek of metal machinery, with a cold deadly edge.
At the window, tanks slowly passed through the street, each carrying armed fighters.
Through each gap, fully armed Kairen soldiers could be seen.
Jiraiya widened his eyes: "Could it be—"
War begins today.
…
Just as Kairen was about to be swallowed by the swamp, he transformed into a beam of light and reappeared on the ground.
The moment he landed, hundreds of shuriken were thrown at him.
Kairen activated Byakugan and adopted the stance of a Taijutsu master.
"Eight Trigrams Palm: Reversal!"
Kairen released massive chakra, spinning rapidly, creating a colossal barrier like a Rasengan, deflecting all shuriken.
Not only that, his spinning accelerated, generating a massive whirlwind around him.
"Reversal Great Whirlwind!"
The sudden storm's blades of wind struck like knives.
In the audience, Hyūga Hiashi, unaffected by Genjutsu, stood up abruptly.
Next to him, Hyūga Hizashi's eyes were fixed on Kairen: "Byakugan… he actually has Byakugan!"
Hiashi's calm expression was replaced by shock: "Wood Release, Sharingan, and our Hyūga Byakugan… His existence is inexplicable!"
Hizashi asked: "Big brother, shall we intervene?"
Several attempts were made to summon the Third Hokage, but each time Hiashi hesitated, performing Taijutsu instead.
He neither helped Kairen nor interfered with his actions.
Hiashi quietly said: "Hizashi, the most important thing for the Hyūga Clan is stability."
"With the keen insight of the Byakugan, whoever governs the village will rely on us. No need to gamble on an uncertain fight."
"More importantly!"
Through Hiashi's Byakugan,
Kairen's expression began to show excitement; he was enjoying the battle.
"A living Uchiha Madara… this is not someone we can offend!"
Hiashi saw clearly that Kairen was the prodigy of the ninja world.
His ninja template could be compared to Uchiha Madara.
The same arrogance, the same disregard for the world and ninja rules.
Uchiha Madara's misfortune was that the world also had Senju Hashirama.
If Hashirama exists, how can Madara survive?
Kairen's luck was that he was the only Kairen in the world.
Using quantity to overwhelm him is foolish—don't forget Kairen has Wood Release.
He is now a combination of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama.
Defeating him is difficult!
But not impossible. Every person has a weakness: family, friends, lovers.
If Kairen were alone, he could be dealt with.
This is why Hyūga Hizashi hesitated.
"Kill!"
The Chūnin Exams final arena was dyed scarlet. Kairen removed his short shirt and tied it to his waist.
Holding a katana and activating Mangekyō Sharingan, he moved swiftly into the chaotic army.
Dodging left and right, lives went out like candles.
"Fire Release: Great Flame Technique!"
Flames engulfed everything, completely surrounding Kairen.
The Upper Ninja performing the Fire Release was overjoyed, yet his high-temperature flames couldn't harm Kairen for more than ten seconds.
The fire burned out, leaving smoke rising; from it, a figure emerged.
Kairen's skin was slightly charred; the searing pain didn't even make him grit his teeth.
He hadn't felt pain in a long time; daily life had become mechanical with constant horseback training.
Senju Sage Body activated!
