Naruto: In Konoha Village, I awakened Wood Release at the start.

Outside Konoha Village.

The sixth training ground, the arena.

Yellow sand rose into the sky.

Shukaku's massive body suddenly leaped into the air.

A violent surge of wind-style chakra gathered in its mouth.

The training rounds, like heavy artillery shells, blasted towards the giant beetle in mid-air.

But Chongming had no intention of resisting head-on.

Despite its enormous size, it moves with remarkable agility.

Three pairs of transparent wings vibrated wildly.

A piercing buzzing sound reverberated throughout the venue.

Chongming instantly rose dozens of meters into the air, easily dodging all of Shukaku's attacks.

The training bullet struck the Wood Release barrier, creating ripples.

"Damn bugs!"

"Get down here, you bastard!"

Shukaku was furious.

Its proud attack failed to even touch a single hair on its opponent's head.

Chongming hovered in mid-air, emitting a deafening laugh.

"You stinky raccoon!"

"If you're so capable, fly up here and hit me!"

Speaking of chakra levels.

Chongming has seven tails, far exceeding Shukaku's.

However, when it comes to combat skills and chakra control, Shukaku is definitely among the best.

If it really came down to a head-on collision on the ground, Chongming might not necessarily be able to defeat Shukaku.

Ke Chongming can fly!

This is an extremely rare air superiority in the ninja world.

Shukaku could only stand on the ring, filled with impotent rage.

Large amounts of yellow sand transformed into countless long spears, shooting into the sky in a blanket.

Chongming flicked his tail.

The dazzling green scales fell like a torrential rain.

These scales not only interfere with vision, but also contain potent paralyzing toxins.

Upon contact with the scales, the sand spear instantly lost control and fell helplessly to the ground.

The audience in the stands were stunned.

The leaders of the various ninja villages were twitching with disbelief.

Onoki clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh.

If Iwagakure were to face this flying tailed beast, it would suffer heavy losses.

Enraged, Lei Ying Ai smashed the stone table in front of him.

The Hidden Cloud Village also has two tailed beasts.

However, Killer Bee (the Eight-Tailed Beast) did not participate today.

Konoha sent out the Nine-Tails, Sunagakure sent out the One-Tails, and Takigakure sent out the Seven-Tails.

This is clearly a show of defiance against the entire ninja world!

Kazekage Rasa remained motionless.

He looked at Shukaku, who was raging in a fit of impotence on the arena.

What was once Sunagakure's proud ultimate weapon now looks like a clown.

Luo Sha secretly rejoiced.

He had long ago decided to cling to Chiba's coattails.

Even if Yiwei loses again, it won't have a big impact.

On the arena.

Shukaku has completely gone mad.

It relentlessly squeezes out chakra.

Waves of sand surged one after another, almost filling the entire arena space.

But Chongming simply refused to confront it head-on.

The seven tails nimbly weaved through the air, occasionally spitting out a mouthful of acid or scattering a cloud of scale powder.

"Boom!"

Another sandfall failed to materialize.

Shukaku was panting heavily, and his body began to show signs of disintegration.

Its chakra level was the lowest among the tailed beasts.

I was just beaten up by the Nine-Tails again, and I'm extremely exhausted.

The limit has been reached.

Chongming, who was in mid-air, keenly noticed this.

"You stinky raccoon, are you out of energy?"

"Now it's my turn!"

Chongming suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Yin and Yang chakra gathered wildly in its mouth.

Black and white light intertwined and rapidly compressed into a huge, high-density energy sphere.

Tailed Beast Ball!

A terrifying pressure instantly descended upon the entire area.

Ordinary villagers were so frightened that they backed away repeatedly, and some even fell to the ground.

The ninjas from various villages in the stands were also horrified.

This is a Tailed Beast Ball!

If it gets out of control, most of Konoha Village will be razed to the ground!

Shukaku's pupils contracted sharply.

Its chakra is now depleted, and it cannot condense a Tailed Beast Ball to counterattack.

"boom--"

Chongming spat out the Tailed Beast Ball without hesitation.

The jet-black energy ball fell like a meteor, hurtling straight toward Shukaku in the center of the arena.

Shukaku could barely conjure a sand shield.

However, the Sand Shield is as fragile as paper in the face of the absolute destructive power of the Tailed Beast Ball.

A blinding white light engulfed the entire arena.

Followed by.

The deafening explosion resounded through the sky.

The violent shockwave struck the Wood Release barrier, causing it to shake violently.

On the high platform.

Chiba sat upright on the Hokage throne, his expression completely calm.

A little chakra overflowed from his fingertips, and he tapped it lightly.

The precarious Wood Release barrier instantly stabilized, effectively confining all the aftershocks of the explosion within the arena.

The smoke of battle has cleared.

The once flat arena has been turned into a huge pit.

Shukaku's enormous body disappeared.

At the bottom of the pit, only a red-haired boy covered in blood and in a deep coma remained.

Gaara was utterly defeated.

Moreover, the defeat was extremely devastating.

Chongming circled twice in mid-air, looking quite pleased with himself.

It then transformed into a ball of green chakra and rapidly contracted.

After a while.

Funa's petite figure reappeared on the ring.

She patted the dust off her clothes and waved her arms toward the stands.

"That's awesome!"

"Chongming, we won!"

The entire room fell into dead silence.

No one dared to go on stage and challenge this seemingly harmless little girl.

That devastating Tailed Beast Ball just now completely shattered the confidence of all the genin.

This is not the Chunin Exams at all.

This is a battle of gods among monsters!

Chiba slowly stood up.

His gaze swept across the entire room, and his voice clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Since no one is challenging us."

"In this match, Takigakure Murafu is the winner."

"Fu got second place in this year's Chunin Exams."

Gaara of Sunagakure came in third place.

The ANBU ninjas quickly entered the scene.

They carried the severely injured and unconscious Gaara off the ring for emergency treatment.

Fu ran back to the players' area with an excited expression.

The competition that followed became rather dull.

The top three are all non-human monsters.

The remaining contestants can only compete for fourth to tenth place.

But for the many large families of Konoha...

This is still a battle for honor that must be won.

Sasuke, his face ashen, slowly walked onto the arena.

His heart was filled with resentment and anger.

Naruto Uzumaki is number one.

The girl from the other village was second.

Gaara is ranked third.

He, a genius of the Uchiha clan, couldn't even make it into the top three!

This sense of humiliation drove Sasuke almost insane.

"Hyuga Neji!"

"Get up here!"

Sasuke drew his ninja sword and pointed it at Hyuga Neji in the stands.

Hyuga Neji snorted coldly.

The caged bird curse mark on his forehead was particularly glaring in the sunlight.

However, since Chiba came to power, the internal conflicts within the Hyuga clan have eased considerably.

Neji has now not only learned the main family's secret techniques, but also has access to a vast amount of resources.

He jumped onto the ring without hesitation.

"Uchiha Sasuke".

"Today I'll make you face reality!"

Neji's eyes bulged with veins, and his Byakugan activated instantly.

The two instantly engaged in a fierce battle.

Sasuke's Sharingan spun rapidly, observing Neji's every move.

The ninja sword in his hand transformed into a series of afterimages, heading straight for Neji's vital points.

Neji then used Gentle Fist, with chakra attached to his fingertips, precisely blocking Sasuke's attack route.

"Chidori!"

Sasuke's left hand exploded with lightning.

The piercing chirping of birds echoed throughout the arena.

He transformed into a streak of blue lightning, hurtling straight towards Neji's face.

"Revive the crisis!"

Neji spins at high speed in place.

Blue chakra formed an absolute defensive hemisphere.

The Thousand Birds and the Heavenly Return collided with a deafening roar.

The Lightning Release's ferocity and the Gentle Fist's finesse canceled each other out, unleashing a violent wave of chakra.

The two men staggered back several steps and resumed their fight.

Fugaku Uchiha stood in the stands, his face full of arrogance.

Although Sasuke didn't make it into the top three, the strength he displayed still far surpassed that of his peers.

Hiashi Hyuga remained expressionless.

But the hint of admiration in his eyes was impossible to hide.

finally.

Sasuke, with his Sharingan's superior insight, seized upon a tiny flaw in Neji's defenses.

Lightning Release chakra was attached to the ninja sword, which was then placed directly against Neji's neck.

Neji gave a wry smile and conceded defeat.

Sasuke came in fourth place.

Neji Hyuga came in fifth place.

The competition then began.

Rock Lee activated the Eight Gates, decisively defeating the other opponents and securing sixth place.

The subsequent rankings were quickly determined.

All competitions have officially ended.

Chiba once again stepped to the very front of the platform.

All eyes in the room instantly focused on this man.

The villagers of Konoha were filled with fanaticism and worship.

The ninjas and spectators from the outer village felt a mixture of awe and fear.
