In Konoha, they wiped out the Sarutobi clan at the start.

Chapter 136 Asma Under Torture

A massive burst of flames engulfed Qianye.

Qianye smiled calmly, his left hand forming a symbolic hand seal, and a massive amount of chakra condensed in his throat before being forcefully expelled.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique.

A colossal water dragon, many times larger than the Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning, suddenly shot out and dispersed the exploding flames the instant it touched them.

The water dragon continued its momentum, breaking through the sky, circling several times in the air, letting out a huge dragon roar, and then swooping down towards Sarutobi Asuma.

In front of the central tower of the Death Forest.

Mitarashi Anko and Umino Iruka, acting on orders from the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, are leading the remaining eleven genin who qualified through the preliminary rounds (excluding Sasuke, Kabuto, Gaara, Naruto, etc.) away from the Forest of Death from another direction.

Suddenly, a dragon's roar came from afar, followed by a huge water dragon flying into the sky and then crashing to the ground, creating a huge splash.

"What is that?"

Everyone, including Mitarashi Anko and Iruka, looked towards the landing of the water dragon.

"That was..." Kabuto recalled the water dragon from just now, a bead of cold sweat falling to his forehead. He forced a smile and thought to himself, "It was the Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique. There's no mistake. Only Fujiwara no Chiya could unleash such a powerful Water Release technique. Oh no, only Lady Chiya."

"What a terrifying guy. Those Konoha ninjas are in for a lot of trouble now. Of all people to mess with, they had to mess with Lord Chiya. Even Orochimaru wouldn't dare to provoke him."

Looking in the direction of the water dragon, Iruka and Mitarashi Anko exchanged glances, both with beads of cold sweat dripping from their foreheads.

Naruto walked up to Iruka and asked, "Iruka-sensei, what was that just now?"

Iruka wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said dismissively, "Those are probably Jonin sparring over there. Alright, everyone, don't worry about it. Let's get out of the Death Forest."

"A Jonin sparring match, that's amazing!" Naruto's eyes lit up, then he asked, "Was Kakashi-sensei there too?"

Iruka paused for a moment, recalling the Third Hokage's instructions, swallowed hard, and subconsciously replied, "He should be there."

"Then I need to ask Kakashi-sensei for guidance in my training." Taking advantage of Iruka's momentary daze, Naruto jumped onto a tree and sped towards the direction where the water dragon landed.

"Hey, Naruto...stop right there!"

"Red Bean, you take the others and go first. I'll go after Naruto."

By the time Iruka realized what was happening, Naruto was already far away. He called out to Mitarashi Anko and hurriedly chased after him.

However, before Iruka could finish speaking, Gaara had already chased after him.

"Hey, Gaara, where are you going?" Kankuro shouted.

With those words, "It's none of your business," Gaara disappeared from everyone's sight without looking back.

"This guy always loves to act unilaterally," Kankuro muttered to himself, exchanging a glance with Temari before following closely behind.

Once there's a first one, there will naturally be a second, a third, and a fourth.

Following Naruto and Gaara, Kankuro and Temari also went after him out of concern that something might have happened to Gaara.

"I'll go take a look too." Choji followed immediately, with Shino silently following behind.

"Then I'll go join in the fun too." Next up is Tos, who has already been abandoned and is about to replace Sak as a sacrifice for the Impure World Reincarnation.

In the end, even Shikamaru, Ino, and Sakura followed.

Only Kabuto and Mitarashi Anko remained in front of the central tower.

"These guys are really a bunch of problem children."

Watching the group's departing figures, Mitarashi Anko sighed and rubbed her forehead, then turned to Kabuto and suddenly asked, "Aren't you going?"

"I'm not going. I already reached my limit during the second round of the exam." He wouldn't go to the Kabuto Vale track after eating his fill. If he got caught up in the battle between the Akatsuki and the Konoha ninjas, it would be a huge loss.

Hongdou frowned. "Then you can rest here for a while. I'll send my secret agents to escort you out later."

"No need for that. I'll rest for a bit and then I can go out by myself," Kabuto said humbly.

"Tsk." Hearing this, Anko clicked her tongue lightly, ignored the other party, and used her Body Flicker to chase after Naruto and the others.

Watching Mitarashi Anko's departing figure, Kabuto murmured, "This is where things get interesting, don't you think, Lord Orochimaru?"

As Kabuto finished speaking, the ground beside him began to ripple, and Orochimaru slowly emerged from it, a sinister smile on his face, and replied, "Yes."

"Spiritual Communication Technique: Dark and Mourning Lightning"

Just as the water dragon was about to rush towards Asuma, Morino Ibiki's voice suddenly rang out, as he had been hesitant to make a move.

A giant lucky cat with chains suddenly appeared, instantly enveloping Asuma, locking the chains tightly, and dragging the lucky cat and Asuma underground.

The water dragon landed directly where Asma was standing, and in an instant, a large area of ​​forest was submerged, giant trees collapsed, and large areas of the Death Forest were covered by the tide.

"They even changed the terrain. What a powerful guy! Not only genjutsu, lightning release, and wind release, but even water release!"

Hidden in the shadows, Kakashi silently observed with his Sharingan. Because he was hiding behind Chiya, he was not affected by the Water Dragon Bullet.

At this moment, the word "shock" was no longer enough to describe his feelings.

In just a few rounds, two of the five Konoha elites who were tasked with intercepting Fujiwara Chiya, including himself, were seriously injured and rendered unable to fight.

Sarutobi Asuma nearly died in battle.

This level of strength has already surpassed Kakashi's current understanding.

Meanwhile, Ibiki Morino had already moved the unconscious Might Guy and Hayate Gekko to a safe area.

"Using a summoning jutsu that could trap enemies in reverse, pulling Sarutobi Asuma underground to evade my Water Dragon Bullet—as expected of Ibiki Morino, captain of the Konoha Torture Squad. But now, you're the only one left. Do you really think you can still leave me alive?"

Chiya smiled and looked at Morino Ibiki.

"Then let's give it a try. Spirit Summoning Technique: Torture Chamber"

Ibiki Morino formed hand seals, and suddenly several chains appeared, binding "Chiya" and pulling her into an alternate-dimensional torture chamber filled with various instruments of torture.

"I'm the captain of Konoha's interrogation unit. Do you think I did nothing while you were fighting Guy and the others?"

"Let me tell you, I've been preparing this psychic spell from the very beginning. Here, I am the master, and no matter how powerful you are, you will never be able to escape from here."

"Tell me, what exactly is the organization you joined, and what is your purpose in infiltrating Konoha this time?"

Ibiki Morino stood proudly in front of "Chiya".

"What if I don't tell you?" 'Qianye' said calmly.

"Don't worry, I'll make you talk." Morino Ibiki snapped his fingers, and suddenly, several sharp metal wires shot out and bound 'Chiya'.

Ibiki Morino himself turned pale and broke out in a cold sweat.

"This torture chamber... the caster uses their endurance to torture the enemy, but at the same time, the caster also suffers the same pain as the enemy. So let's see who has the better endurance."
