Time flies, and a month has passed by unnoticed.

In just one month, the Land of Fire swiftly annexed the Land of Rain, its momentum unstoppable.

In this process, all those who dared to block the Land of Fire's path were wiped out by Madara Uchiha with absolute power.

The Land of Rain has completely faded from the stage of history, disappearing into the past.

This news also seemed to shock other countries, who all expressed their willingness to participate in the Chunin Exams, betting their entire nations on the outcome.

At this moment, in his office in Konoha, Xingliu held the competition application form in his hand, lost in thought.

His gaze lingered on the two names on the application form for a long time—Sakumo Hatake and Izuna Uchiha.

'Sakumo Hatake, your title of White Fang is so famous in the ninja world, is it really appropriate for you to participate in the Chunin Exams?' Hoshiryu thought to himself.

After all, Sakumo Hatake has become quite well-known in the ninja world in recent years, so it's really not quite right for him to participate in the Chunin Exams.

Then, his gaze turned to another name—Uchiha Izuna.

'Uchiha Izuna, you've gone too far. So, even though you died before Konoha was founded, you were just a genin, right?'

He then put a checkmark on the four women's entry forms.

'I'm more composed. They're just a few teenage girls. So what if they're a little stronger? They're all legitimate genin from Konoha anyway.'

In recent years, the four women have been wandering the ninja world with Xinglang, so they naturally have no time to improve their ninja level.

Therefore, they are still genin of Konoha.

For this Chunin Exam, Hoshiryu decided to use a one-on-one duel format to determine the rankings.

The advantages of this approach are obvious: it saves time and reduces cumbersome procedures.

But Xingliu's considerations went far beyond that; this method could also effectively undermine the possibility of other countries joining forces against Konoha.

One-on-one duels mean that each nation's ninja will fight alone, making it impossible to form effective teamwork and strategic arrangements.

This would greatly reduce the chances of the four countries joining forces, giving Konoha a more advantageous position in this test.

Although Xingliu didn't believe anyone could defeat the four powerful women, he still chose this method.

After all, why not do something that's convenient?

In fact, he had already planned to use this method to coerce the other four countries.

If the four countries are willing to participate in this event, it would indicate that they may still accept the idea of ​​peaceful reunification.

Therefore, he deliberately left a month to give other countries ample time to consider and prepare.

This arrangement aims to allow each country ample time to weigh the pros and cons and decide independently whether to participate in the test and whether to accept Konoha's unification ideology.

If they cannot accept this, this month is enough for them to gather their forces, and then they can solve the problem once and for all.

The incident in the Land of Rain, rather than giving outsiders an opportunity to investigate Konoha's true strength, was exactly what Hoshiryu wanted.

He demonstrated Konoha's determination to unify in this incident, which served as an ultimatum to the other countries.

While thinking about this, Xingliu suddenly sensed a strange fluctuation not far from Konoha.

He raised an eyebrow and extended his senses to probe the area.

Just then, a huge amount of chakra suddenly gathered and shot towards the Konoha Building.

Chapter 164 Chakra Cannon

Let's rewind to the moment of the Four Film Conference.

When the Third Raikage uttered his startling words, all eyes were on him, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Under this invisible pressure, he took a deep breath and solemnly revealed a shocking secret:

"Our Cloud Ninja has developed a new type of weapon, whose power even surpasses that of the Tailed Beast Ball. With just one strike, it can completely destroy the entire Leaf Village, especially at the center of the attack, where no one will survive."

His words shocked everyone.

Next, the Third Raikage explained in detail how to use this weapon and its origins.

It turns out that ever since Uchiha Seiryu emerged and displayed astonishing strength, the Third Raikage has felt unprecedented pressure.

In response to this threat, he decisively ordered the Hidden Cloud Village to devote all its resources to research and development, vowing to create a weapon capable of eliminating a powerhouse like Starflow.

After ten years of unremitting efforts and countless experiments, the Chakra Cannon was finally born.

Moreover, as the pressure from the stellar flow increased year by year, the development of the Chakra Cannon not only did not stop after its success, but also increased investment and continued to optimize and improve it.

Today, this weapon not only possesses devastating power, but more importantly, it has achieved breakthroughs in transportation and assembly.

It can be disassembled into multiple parts for carrying and then quickly reassembled when needed to cope with various complex battlefield environments.

The Third Raikage's plan was simple and direct:

He first pretended to agree to Konoha's Chunin Exam proposal, and then used this month to have the people of the four countries transport the various parts of the chakra cannon to the designated location.

Once assembled and the exact location of the Uchiha Seiryu has been confirmed, a fatal blow will be launched.

After hearing the Third Raikage's plan, Onoki still had some hesitation in his heart, and his deep fear of Madara Uchiha affected his decision.

However, the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, had an excited glint in his eyes after hearing the suggestion.

He decisively stated, "I can support your plan, but I must first witness the power of this weapon with my own eyes."

The Kazekage and Tsuchikage nodded in agreement with Yagura's view.

Although the Third Raikage was somewhat displeased with the doubts of the crowd, he also knew that this action was related to the future of the village.

At such a critical moment, any caution is necessary.

"In that case, please follow me."

The Third Raikage spoke in a deep voice, then turned and walked out of the conference room.

The group exchanged glances and followed closely behind.

In a secret base in Kumogakure, the Third Raikage demonstrated the assembly process and power of the chakra cannon to everyone.

Following his command, a group of elite ninjas quickly and systematically assembled the various parts of the cannon.

Soon, a massive chakra cannon stood before them, radiating a chilling energy wave.

"This is the full view of the Chakra Cannon."

The Third Raikage pointed at the cannon and said, "Its power is enough to destroy a mountain, let alone a small village like Konoha."

Everyone was awestruck by the enormous weapon before them.

The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, had an excited glint in his eyes; he seemed eager to witness the power of this cannon.

“Well then, let’s give it a try,” he said, gesturing to the Third Raikage that they could begin.

The Third Raikage nodded and then gave the order to launch.

With a deafening roar, the chakra cannon fired a thick beam of energy that shot straight into the sky.

The beam of light was so fast that it was impossible to react, and it disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

A moment later, a deafening roar came from the distant mountains, followed by a tremendous earthquake.

The group exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes filled with shock.

"Is this the power of the Chakra Cannon?" Onoki muttered to himself, "Truly extraordinary."

The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, was also filled with astonishment. He turned to the Third Raikage and solemnly said:

"I agree with your plan. The power of this cannon is indeed enough to change the course of the battle."

The Kazekage and Tsuchikage also expressed their agreement, both of them shocked by the power of the chakra cannon.

The Third Raikage smiled with satisfaction:

"Since everyone agrees, let's proceed according to this plan."

So, there is this scene now.

The Chakra Cannon lived up to its name, displaying astonishing power.

Just as Xingliu sensed the gathering of chakra, the cannon had already completed its charge, and a thick beam of energy instantly pierced the sky, hurtling towards Konoha.

Its speed was astonishing; it flew over Konoha in the blink of an eye.

The Third Raikage stood at a distance, witnessing this scene, his heart filled with anticipation and excitement.

He could almost see Konoha reduced to ruins by the bombardment of the chakra cannon.

However, at that very moment, something incredible happened.

Just as the energy beam was about to strike Konoha, a transparent barrier suddenly appeared out of thin air, tightly enveloping the entire village.

The energy beam struck the barrier with a deafening roar, then was propelled high into the sky, exploding into a dazzling display of light.

The Third Raikage's smile froze instantly; his eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

"This...how is this possible?" he exclaimed in disbelief.

The other shadows around them were equally stunned into silence by this sudden turn of events.

They originally thought that the chakra cannon's attack would be enough to destroy Konoha, but they never expected that Konoha would reveal such a powerful defensive measure at the last moment.

The transparent barrier shimmered with a mysterious light under the sunlight, like an indestructible screen that firmly protected Konoha behind it.

"What... what kind of barrier is this? How can it withstand the attack of a chakra cannon?" The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, couldn't help but ask.

The Wind Shadow and the Earth Shadow exchanged bewildered glances. They had never seen such a powerful defensive barrier before, and for a moment they were at a loss.

"You don't need to be surprised. This is a barrier that I modified based on the Four Red Sun Formation."

A voice rang out leisurely, carrying a hint of amusement and disdain.

"Your so-called chakra cannon is nothing but a trick. My barrier can easily withstand even the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball."

The moment the voice fell, the four shadows felt their hearts tighten simultaneously. They turned their heads in unison, their pupils contracting sharply.

Uchiha Seiryu stood there quietly, a faint smile on his face, but his eyes revealed a kind of disdain.

"It seems you have chosen to be my enemy."

“Uchiha Seiryu…” The Third Raikage spoke slowly, his voice filled with apprehension and resentment.
