Naruto: I, Shikotsumyaku, Byakugan Princess

The center of Death Paradise is located north of the cave entrance where the streams converge.

Earth Release: Hardening Technique!

A burly man wearing the iconic Iwagakure headband and a red standard ninja uniform stood in a half-horse stance with his hands folded in front of his chest.

Although he was not yet twenty, the bearded, burly man, who looked as old as thirty, appeared full of confidence.

"Raiga!"

boom!
Thunder roared, and blue streaks of light, like branches, appeared in the air.

The bearded, burly man who had used the hardening technique had his pupils contracted. He had no time to dodge and was pierced through the body by the rapidly approaching lightning.

hissing...

As the lightning dimmed, so did he, and wisps of blue smoke rose from his body. His once clear black and white eyes gradually turned pure white, and then he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Although I look older than my age, I'm still a young person after all, and my sleep quality is excellent.

About twenty meters away from him, Sasuke's eyes reflected a blood-red light, and his Raikou-kiri (Lightning Blade) crossed above his head, with blue lightning flashing incessantly on it.

This ninja sword not only enhanced the power of his Lightning Release ninjutsu, but also made up for the lack of mid-to-long-range offensive means.

Although Fire Release techniques can travel a long distance, their accuracy is truly pitiful due to their speed limitations.

With his mastery of high-speed lightning release, coupled with the dynamic vision and genjutsu of his single eye's three tomoe, he only needs to resolve the issue of chakra reserves to leap into the ranks of elite Jonin.

That is, Gray Glass's level when he was six years old.

It's outrageous!
The thought of that inhuman monster instantly suppressed the pride that had just risen in Sasuke's heart. Looking at his opponent, who was paralyzed and unable to resist, he felt even more bored.

"Konoha Steel Cyclone - Double Shot!"

Sasuke heard Naruto's angry roar behind him and turned around to look:

Two Narutos appeared, one above and one below, one in front and one behind, simultaneously kicking the enemy's left cheek and right ankle.

The Iwagakure member was overwhelmed by this combo, and in his haste, his hardened body couldn't withstand the heavy Konoha punches. In the end, he was knocked to the ground by a flying kick from the hidden Naruto.

Both of his companions were defeated. Seeing that all was lost, the last member of Iwagakure abandoned his companions and used the Tsuchikage technique to escape.

But as soon as he burrowed into the earth, he found that the ground, which had been as soft as flowing water, had become stickier than glue. He struggled in the mud for a couple of moments before being buried alive, leaving only his head exposed on the ground, his face filled with terror and despair.

Because his chest was being squeezed by the mud, Iwagakure's face twitched twice, turning bluish-purple, and he quickly fell into a coma.

Even Qing exclaimed that he was an expert after seeing it.

Coo coo...

The earth writhed, squeezing out the unconscious Iwagakure survivors, while Naruto and Sasuke, who were about to give chase, grinned at the same time.

Although it is soil composed of inorganic matter, it somehow gives the impression of a living organism vomiting, and just looking at that scene is enough to send chills down your spine.

What's even more terrifying is that, as the mastermind behind everything, Hui Li's true form is still thousands of meters away. The opponent's abilities are becoming more and more abnormal!

Every time they saw the opponent's ever-increasing abilities, it refreshed their understanding. Fortunately, Hui Li was their teammate; if she were an enemy, they would never have been able to think of a way to defeat her.

Looking at the three Iwagakure members lying on the ground in a deep, baby-like sleep, Naruto released his Shadow Clone Jutsu and said with a smile:

"We should have finished cleaning this area!"

"not yet."

Sasuke, who wouldn't let pride cloud his judgment, shook his head and acted with unusual caution.

“Grey Glass said that there are 17 people left in this area, not counting ourselves. We just eliminated 12 people in total, and there are still five people left to find.”

He hadn't forgotten what Kakashi had said when he registered: that this exam could very well produce a genius comparable to Hai Li.

If that's the case, we're likely to face an extremely tough battle.

"Hiss... Hey hey hey..."

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie in Sasuke's pocket.

He quickly sheathed his twin swords and turned on the walkie-talkie:

"The three Iwagakure ninja in the north have been dealt with. Are there any others nearby?"

"Three Grass Ninja and four Sound Ninja are coming from the swamp from the direction you just went, at the three o'clock position."

The center of the amusement park.

With her silver hair piled up at the back of her head, reflecting a halo of light, Gray Glass, who was in control of the entire situation, picked up the walkie-talkie to provide Naruto and Sasuke with their locations.

For her, this Chunin Exam was about as difficult as catching a fat cat, so it was a good opportunity for Naruto and Sasuke to practice on.

These two are currently considered her underlings, and she plans to have them join the Shadow Guard after she inherits the Hokage position.

Naruto learned Sage Mode and Nine-Tails Mode from Mount Myōboku, and Sasuke awakened his Mangekyou Sharingan and took Itachi's eyes. They were essentially two Super Kage. The Kage guards from other villages were just for fun. Her guards could even fight against Kaguya Otsutsuki.

"呲呲..."

The distinctive static of a radio rang out, and soon Sasuke's voice came through the intercom.

"It will be over soon."

"Hmm, be careful of those four Sound Ninja. There's a red-haired girl among the Grass Ninja; you might want to keep an eye on her." Hui Li casually added, "And give Sasuke a stroke of good luck in love."

In the original work, it would be a waste for Sasuke and Sakura to marry. Karin, who possesses an extremely high-level Sage Body, might give birth to a freak with even greater talent than her if they were to unite.

Of course, Sasuke is not a breeding machine, and she will not directly interfere in Sasuke's love life, but only offer him a possibility.

"Roger that!"

Sasuke's voice on the walkie-talkie was somewhat grave. Clearly, he didn't care about the care that Hairi had mentioned, but instead focused all his attention on the Sound Village, who needed to be careful.

Putting away the walkie-talkie, Hairi saw Naruto and Sasuke following her instructions, heading directly towards Karin and the Sound Four.

She had the location of everyone in Death Paradise under her control. After this period of movement, the Ten Sound Hidden Ones had been divided into three groups.

Jugo and Kimimaro remained in the White Bone Hell, seemingly to avoid Gaara's clearing out.

Dosu and the other ordinary Sound Ninja have arrived at the Swamp Hell and are heading towards Shikamaru's direction, while the Sound Four encountered Karin and the other Kusagakure Ninja outside the giant bowl.

This unique division of forces suggests that Kimimaro and the others are helping Orochimaru find Sasuke. Since they have already come looking for him, Kairi simply sends Sasuke and Naruto over to eliminate the Sound Four.

As for Orochimaru and Danzo, both Kage-level figures...

Since her power evolved, she hasn't had a proper battle yet. Hopefully, Danzo and Orochimaru can give her a good time!
Silver-white hair fluttered behind her head, her gray eyes shone like stars, and purple chakra, like the blazing sun, flowed slowly. The thick miasma clouds in the sky gradually distorted along with the fluctuations of chakra.

Even without using Takamagahara, her chakra reserves, exceeding those of the Tailed Beasts, can still influence the natural environment.

……

at the same time.

To the south of the giant bowl, countless clear, narrow streams flow across the ground, resembling twisted silver snakes.

Hiss!

An unnamed venomous snake with purple-yellow markings on its back slithered across the ground, its purplish-black tongue flicking rapidly, leaving accordion-like marks on the soil it passed through.

“There’s food!”

With her short, brown hair and cute, innocent face, Beidou caught my eye.

Ang, who was squatting on the ground fetching water, quickly turned around upon hearing the news of food. When he saw the yellow venomous snake crawling on the ground, his expression first showed joy, then turned to intense wariness. Sanlian, standing next to him, was so frightened that he immediately stood up.

As the first group of genin to enter the Death Paradise, and with their flying abilities, including the Peacock Technique, they had an excellent understanding of the area, if not an aptitude.

This place truly lived up to the word "death," as they flew around the swamp and the bone-strewn ground.

There were no wild animals, nor any vegetation or insects.

The red fungi clinging to the bones were clearly highly poisonous. The only source of water was this deep, circular pit. They searched there all afternoon, but couldn't find a single fish, let alone a speck of moss, in the stream.

This place is practically a dead zone.

But now a rather fat venomous snake has appeared. This creature, which is perfectly normal in other places, is too abrupt in this desolate paradise!
"alert!"

Ang was not attracted by the spicy strips at all; wings suddenly sprouted from his back.

"Star Ninja, the Peacock Technique? Interesting!"

A husky, magnetic male voice came from behind the three of them.

The voice sounded like the scraping of python scales against sand, making the three Star Shadows tremble. Before they could even turn around, their wings flapped violently, and they instantly left the ground and flew into the sky.

Only after entering the 'safe' sky realm did they dare to look down at the ground.

Two pale-skinned female ninjas were standing where they had just been standing. The one in the lead slightly raised her straw hat, seemingly observing their situation.

"Go all out, kill!"

Its dazzling, semi-transparent wings unfurled, and it raised its fingers, holding a kunai, to fling it directly at the two mysterious ninjas below.

Sanren and Hokuto also used their classic kunai throws.

The Hidden Star Village, which calls itself the sixth great ninja village, only has one ninjutsu: Peacock Mystic Art: Sparrow Feather Transformation. As genin (lower-ranking ninja) of the village, they have only mastered the most basic flight technique, which is the bird form in the transformation.

As for Ang's "all-out effort"...

呲呲!

The explosive tag attached to the iron ring on the kushio tail ignited instantly as it swayed in the wind.

In the secluded Hidden Star Village, ninja tools and explosive tags are extremely precious resources. To consume three explosive tags right from the start and destroy three brand-new kunai is already an all-out effort for this Hidden Star Ninja Team.

Orochimaru and Danzo almost lost their composure.

They had originally wanted to see what new tricks the other party had up their Peacock Technique, but the falling sparks in the sky and the resolute aura of the three of them made them almost regain the purity they had lost in their childhood!

They did not use earth magic to defend themselves, nor did they dodge directly.

Water escape...

Orochimaru crossed his index finger and thumb, and a stream of clear water shot into the sky, engulfing the kunai fired by the three men, along with the continuously burning explosive tags.

The water flow easily deflected the kunai's trajectory, and the explosive tags ignited by the flames were instantly soaked. The explosive tag attack, which was the culmination of the Star Ninja Team's full-force strike, vanished in the blink of an eye.

"That water escape technique was so fast, damn it!"

Ang gritted his teeth. Their strongest attack had been blocked, and they were helpless except to continue bombarding the enemy with explosive tags.

"What a pity, your aptitude is too poor!"

Orochimaru felt a bit bored watching Ang and the other two flying in the sky.

Upon seeing that the three possessed the precious ability to fly, he had already developed a fondness for their talent, but their aptitude was truly disappointing.

She didn't even notice him getting close at first; she had almost no sense of danger.

Although they were fairly vigilant, they flew in a completely straight line without any awareness of dodging or maneuvering, indicating that they never considered that they might be attacked by ranged ninjutsu while taking off.

They don't use their brains at all during battle.

The subsequent explosive tag attack was utterly ridiculous.

The ridiculous thing is not that there are no stronger means of attack. Ninja tools are the main means of attack for genin, which is understandable. He and Danzo also came from this period.

What's truly laughable is their fighting spirit.

Despite occupying the vastest airspace, the three never considered attacking from multiple angles. Instead, they formed an array as if they were on the ground, abandoning their advantages in agility and numbers. This is why he was able to defeat them with a single water-style attack.

The timing of the detonation tag was also wrong.

The correct way is to ignite the kunai the instant it approaches the target, first inflicting a penetrating wound, and then follow up with a second detonation tag to detonate it.

They hastily ignited the explosive tags as soon as they let go of the kunai. Even if he didn't defend himself, the kunai would be destroyed by the explosion in mid-air, wasting a portion of the damage. At the same time, because the explosion point was too far away, the power was only about one-third of the maximum.

This can be described as a textbook example of a mistake.

His combat awareness, talent, and ninja tool skills are all garbage. The only redeeming quality he has is his unique flying ninjutsu!
"Kill them!"

Danzo shook his head regretfully, clearly not impressed with the three of them either; these genin weren't even qualified to get into the Root training camp.

"What a waste!"

Orochimaru's golden snake eyes flashed with a cold light as he looked at the three people in the sky who were once again taking out kunai but were hesitating because they couldn't bear to part with the explosive tags. He sighed.

The mindset is also not right.

Wind Release: Wind Slash!

The air behind his hand began to twist into a blade shape. Orochimaru casually waved his hand at the three people in the sky, then turned away and stopped paying attention to them.

With the stealth and high speed of Wind Release, the opponent will be instantly cut into pieces.

It's such a pity that their secret techniques were wasted.

"careful!"

"You're from Konoha..."

The exclamations of Ang and the other two came from above, and Orochimaru, who was about to leave, slowly stopped.

With his back to the silver-white figure in the sky, his bright golden vertical snake eyes gradually contracted, resembling a golden line.

"She...she's here!"

The girl standing atop the three Hidden Stars had flowing silver hair, and her gleaming eyes shone like two blazing suns. Danzo gripped Orochimaru's arm tightly, his face trembling.

Buzz!

The Twisted Vacuum Blade trembled wildly on the light screen. Gray Glass looked down at Orochimaru and Danzo at his feet, and a pale red polyhedral structure began to appear in front of him.

"It's over!"

Beidou's face turned pale. They couldn't defeat the two grass ninja below, and now a powerful enemy had appeared in the safe sky.

They're surrounded!

The three men standing next to them looked at the girl in the sky, whose style was completely different from theirs, and could already feel the overwhelming aura of a powerful figure emanating from her.

"Hey, hurry up and come up with a battle plan!"

Sensing the panic in his teammate's voice, Ang, as the team leader, remained calm:

"It's only three against three, we might as well put up a fight!" (End of Chapter)
