At this moment, Itsuki was in a state of losing control.
Just now, a powerful force had suddenly erupted from nowhere, spreading throughout his body. His strength had surged drastically in an instant.
But in such a short time, he could not control it freely. The energy ran wild, breaking out of his body.
Just like Endo Daisho's chakra had been absorbed and he could not stop it, Itsuki's power was released uncontrollably.
This power, accompanied by surging vitality, continued gushing out.
The black substances emerging from the ground were nourished by his power, growing rapidly, becoming thicker and larger.
Not only was Endo Daisho's chakra being drained, but Itsuki's chakra was also being consumed as nutrients for the growth of the black matter.
If this continued, everyone present could be sucked dry.
"It's a big deal!" Itsuki wanted to stop the chakra output.
But the power was too great. His control over chakra was far from enough; he couldn't stop it at all.
Only then did Itsuki realize he had been too greedy.
The Fabrication System's future-enhancing ability had allowed him to grant himself the most powerful power without considering whether his body could handle it.
It was like trying to build a skyscraper before laying the foundation.
Fortunately, someone came to stop the chaos. Itsuki reminded himself that next time he needed to be more careful.
To wield new abilities, one must first strengthen the body and develop talent.
Luckily, he had activated the Sharingan that morning, which was not completely useless. The Sharingan enhanced his mental energy and significantly improved his power control.
Otherwise, the recent energy explosion would have drained him completely.
"What's going on?"
"Save people first!"
Soon, several auras appeared nearby—Asuma Sarutobi and the patrolling ANBU.
After the initial confusion and panic, they attacked the black substances.
These black substances could not absorb chakra from a distance; they only worked when entangling someone.
The ANBU, experienced and cautious, would not fall into the trap.
"Fire Style: Ash Burning!"
"Water Style: Water Break Wave!"
"Konoha Style Sword Technique: Gale Slash!"
Everyone used their strongest techniques to destroy the black matter, which had no self-defense.
Moreover, the combined strength of three ANBU teams made the task easy. They quickly rescued Endo Daisho and the others who were trapped.
Too much chakra had been drained. Endo Daisho felt weak, unable to stand steadily.
Chie Mai and Ryota were sucked to the point of skin and bones, their lives in danger. The ANBU immediately transported them to Konoha Hospital.
On the training ground, as the black matter was destroyed, Itsuki's burden lessened.
When about one-fifth of the power remained, covering dozens of meters, Itsuki finally regained control.
The remaining black matter, without nourishment, withered and shriveled visibly, losing all activity.
The crisis was resolved, and everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. Yet, they looked at Itsuki with both vigilance and suspicion.
It was obvious that the sudden disaster had been caused by him.
If it had not been addressed in time, who knew how far it would have spread?
"Itsuki!"
Ino rushed over, shocked by the scene. She instinctively approached him but quickly restrained herself, realizing their relationship wasn't that close yet. She asked, feigning confusion:
"What's going on? Are you responsible for all this?"
Shikamaru, following closely, was also surprised and noticed Ino's unusual reaction. But there was too little information; even his high IQ couldn't deduce what had happened. He just found the situation strange.
"I… I don't know what's going on!" Itsuki shook his head, struggling to stand firm.
The sudden outburst had made the power in his body surge uncontrollably.
Not only had his vitality and physique strengthened, but his chakra volume had skyrocketed dozens, maybe hundreds of times.
He didn't know where the power came from, only that it was the new ability granted by the fabricated future. The other enhancements were incidental.
Even after consuming so much energy, Itsuki didn't look tired—only slightly dazed.
"Why are you here too?" Asuma signaled, instructing Shikamaru to pull Ino away. They shouldn't approach Itsuki just yet.
"The noise was so loud, I wanted to make sure I could help," Ino said, giving a reasonable excuse.
But she was not being entirely selfless.
Shikamaru gave her a meaningful look, subtly pulling Ino and Choji toward Asuma.
"It's such a hassle," Shikamaru complained. "We're in the village, didn't expect danger."
"You're all just fresh graduates, not real ninjas yet," Asuma said helplessly. "Whether danger comes or not, your priority is protecting yourselves. If you don't cause trouble for others, you're doing fine."
"Teacher Asuma, you underestimate us," Ino muttered. "We're not children anymore!"
An ANBU approached and whispered, "I confirmed with Endo Daisho. He brought Class 9 here for a combat test. To win, the other two attacked along with Itsuki. He may have been so angry that he suddenly awakened some power, which caused this situation."
Asuma, shocked, let his cigarette drop. He looked at Itsuki with horror.
"This… this is the awakening of a power? I've never seen anything like it. What kind of power is this?"
The ANBU shook his head. "This must be reported to the Third Hokage. Until then, everyone present must remain silent. Not a word."
Asuma's expression grew serious. He realized that Itsuki's power was terrifying. If news spread, it would attract investigation, covetousness, and panic among the villagers.
"I see. We saw nothing today," Asuma said firmly, pushing Ino aside, then left with Shikamaru and Choji.
An ANBU approached Itsuki gently. "We need to report this to the Third Hokage. Please come with us. Don't worry, this incident was not caused by your intent, and the damage is minor. The Third Hokage will not blame you."
"Wait!" Endo Daisho struggled to get up. "Take me too. I'm his team leader, responsible for this matter."
"But you…" The ANBU hesitated.
"I'm just a little exhausted, that's all. I need to rest," Endo Daisho insisted firmly.
Seeing this, the ANBU did not argue. They cleaned the area, erased traces, and sealed the remaining black substances into a scroll. Then they escorted Endo Daisho and Itsuki to meet the Third Hokage.
