Konoha: Starting with the Tenseigan, taking over Team 7

The highest rank in the village is Jonin, and he has absolutely no interest in Hokage.

"People are divided into different classes, and ninjas are no exception. If I am a first-rate ninja, then you are..." Hyuga Sogetsu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile, and he said, "a low-class ninja."

He enjoys trash-talking and mocking others because he feels helpless against them.

Fun.

"A top-tier ninja..." The entire Team 7 was stunned. They hadn't expected that their teacher, Cang Yue, had laid out so much just to mock the enemy.

Teacher Cangyue seems very confident. Could it be that Teacher Cangyue is also a very strong existence among the Jonin?

"You lowlifes... arrogant fools! If I had the Executioner's Blade, I could wipe you all out in one go!" Zabuza Momochi's face was grim as he coldly stared at Sogetsu Hyuga.

This was the first time he had ever been mocked as a lowly ninja.

It should be noted that he was one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and once single-handedly defeated the Mist Ninja Demon, who was among hundreds of ninjas!

Although Zabuza Momochi was furious, he did not launch an attack rashly, instead searching for an opening in Sogetsu's defenses.

But, I never expected it.

Hyuga Sogetsu hasn't moved at all!

"Don't be so angry, it's just some trash talk." Hyuga Sogetsu held up three fingers and said arrogantly, "There's no need to look for weaknesses there. You are a rare enemy for me, so of course I will give you a chance."

"three minutes."

"Are you planning to finish me off in three minutes? You're even more arrogant than the rumors say!" Zabuza Momochi sneered, glancing at the distant lake.

We need to find a way to move the battlefield to the lake, because the water escape techniques we can use are limited in places without water.

He is a ninja who is proficient in water-style techniques, and his moves are more powerful when there is water!

Hyuga Sogetsu said, "I'll give you three minutes. Attack me however you like within those three minutes. Use your strongest moves to attack me. After all, my students are inexperienced and need to be taught a lesson."

He planned to take this opportunity to test elementalization.

"Are you serious?" Zabuza Momochi's face grew increasingly grim. He never imagined that Hyuga Sogetsu would be so arrogant and conceited.

Giving the enemy three minutes to attack at will was something he had never encountered before in his life—a ninja so outrageously arrogant.

Hyuga Sogetsu must be up to something, right?

Sakura Haruno glared at Aozuki and scolded in a sweet voice, "Aozuki-sensei, please stop fooling around!"

Giving the enemy three minutes—Teacher Cangyue is really bold to say that!

"A plan?" Sasuke Uchiha frowned slightly. He believed that the reason why his teacher, Sogetsu, was so arrogant in giving the enemy an opportunity was because he was planning something.

"It's alright, it's alright. Attack however you like. After all..." Hinata Sogetsu waved his hand casually, a slight smirk playing on his lips, and said, "You're quite weak."

Having power means you have to show off; a battle without showing off is meaningless.

Chapter 38 The Great Waterfall and the Extinction of the Torrent.

"Very...very weak?" Zabuza Momochi's face darkened, several veins bulged on his forehead, and he unleashed a massive burst of chakra, which formed a violent gust of air that blew away the surrounding branches and dust.

He has always been arrogant and indifferent, and he can even endure humiliation for the sake of his plans. But even someone with such a personality was infuriated by Cang Yue's contemptuous attitude and mockery.

He was just on guard, worried that the three minutes Cang Yue mentioned might be a trick by Cang Yue.

But now he has discovered it.

There was no trick or plan involved. The reason Cang Yue gave him three minutes was simply because he was arrogant and conceited!

He now realized that Cang Yue was like a... (the text abruptly ends here, likely due to an incomplete sentence or a formatting error.)

Arrogant, capricious, haughty, and absolutely self-confident!

"Don't regret it, brat! I'll tear your grinning face to shreds, and your head, with its 1 billion bounty, will be mine!" Zabuza Momochi quickly formed hand seals and then slammed them heavily onto the ground.

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

With a deafening roar, the ground trembled violently, and a tidal wave of water surged up from the earth, rolling and surging across the land, flattening large swathes of forest in its wake, and hurtling towards Hyuga Sogetsu with a destructive force.

This is an A-rank water jutsu that is rare even among ordinary ninjutsu; in fact, it can be said to be among the top-ranked water jutsu!

Without Jonin-level chakra, it's absolutely impossible to use the Great Waterfall!

Because of the chakra injected into it, this surging waterfall is very heavy, weighing at least tens of tons, enough to easily crush many ninjas!

"Is...is this guy weak?" Naruto Uzumaki stared wide-eyed at the massive waterfall that surged and rolled like a giant wave.

What a terrifying move!

"How is this possible!" Sasuke Uchiha stared intently at the approaching giant wave with his Sharingan, a bead of cold sweat appearing on his forehead.

This massive waterfall attack demonstrates just how terrifying Zabuza Momochi's strength is!

The fact that it can be used even in places without water speaks volumes about its A-rank water jutsu prowess.

Teacher Cangyue actually said that this level of expert is weak?

What a joke!

Let alone the genin of Team 7, even chunin or some jonin could be crushed to pieces if swallowed by that waterfall!

"Wh...what should I do?" Sakura Haruno's legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground. She had no way to stop the waterfall, nor could she avoid its speed.

Is this the strength of an A-rank rogue ninja?

What a terrifyingly powerful enemy!

"A great waterfall, huh? It is indeed a very strong technique among ordinary ninjas." Hyuga Sogetsu gazed calmly at the enormous waves that were approaching infinitely, and then slammed his hands onto the ground.

"Earth Escape·Earthquake Core."

The ground trembled violently, cracks appeared in the soil, and then a block of earth as hard as steel pushed Team 7 and Tazuna and the others into the sky.

Naruto was suddenly propelled into the air by a clod of earth. He instinctively closed his eyes and screamed in alarm, "Waaaaah—!"

"To be able to use Earth Release without even forming hand seals, what a terrifying man." Uchiha Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the clod of earth at his feet, and then looked at Hyuga Sogetsu in the distance.

He had just seen Hyuga Sogetsu activate Earth Release simply by slapping his hands on the ground.

Outrageous.

Quite outrageous.

Very outrageous.

"Phew...phew, I'm saved." Sakura Haruno was completely exhausted and sat on the clod of earth in a duck-like position, glancing gratefully at Aozuki in the distance.

If it weren't for Teacher Cangyue's help, we would have been swallowed up by the giant wave just now!

Sakura Haruno lay on the edge of the clod of earth, glancing at the surging waterfall below. Her pretty face was pale, and a hint of lingering fear flashed in her eyes. She secretly swallowed.

It's still so scary!

Wait... After Teacher Cangyue saves us, what will Teacher Cangyue do next?

"Teacher Sogetsu, watch out!" Sakura Haruno suddenly turned her head to look at Sogetsu Hinata in the distance. At this moment, the surging wave had already rolled in front of Sogetsu Hinata, with only a foot's distance between them.

At such a short distance, there is absolutely no way to defend or move to dodge!

"Teacher Cangyue!" The entire Class 7 felt a jolt of fear, their faces filled with worry as they gazed into the distance at the scene of Cangyue being swallowed by the giant wave.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation." Hyuga Sogetsu took out the lollipop from his mouth and spat out a high-temperature flame, which flew out and turned into a sea of ​​fire.

The high-temperature flames, like ocean waves, instantly evaporated the entire waterfall, and the scorching steam covered the entire area like mist.

The raging wave did not extinguish; instead, it surged toward Zabuza in the distance.

"This guy can use Earth Release and Fire Release at will without even forming hand seals. What a terrifying man..." Zabuza Momochi's face was grim. Looking at the approaching sea of ​​fire, he no longer had time to think about anything else.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!" Behind Zabuza Momochi, three enormous water dragons appeared, spiraling upwards and tearing towards the scorching sea of ​​fire.

"Water Release: Water Wall!" As Momochi changed his hand seals, the ground around him trembled violently, and a high-pressure water wall rose from the ground, blocking his way like a shield.

"Boom--!"

The violent collision of fire and water created a large amount of scorching steam. The terrifying flames gradually died down, but the remaining flames ignited the forest, and eventually the entire forest was engulfed in flames.

"Huff...huff." Zabuza Momochi knelt on one knee, clutching his charred left arm, staring intently at Hyuga Sogetsu in the distance.

This guy... is outrageous!

Even with the elemental advantage being countered, I still had to use three Water Release techniques to barely counter Cang Yue's Fire Release!

To be honest, he had never seen such an outrageous fire jutsu.

The gap in strength is too big!

No wonder Hyuga Sogetsu is so arrogant; if he had that kind of strength, he would be even more arrogant than Sogetsu!

At the top of the massive clod of earth, Naruto Uzumaki stared blankly at Zabuza's charred arm below, muttering incredulously, "Heavens...heavens, does fire counter water?"

"Idiot, how is that possible?" Sasuke Uchiha said coldly, his hands in his pockets. "Water Release counters Fire Release. Even an idiot knows that."

He knew that Teacher Cangyue's Fire Release was very strong, but he didn't expect it to be this ridiculously strong!

Despite being countered by elemental attributes, Teacher Cangyue's casual use of Fire Release still managed to give him an absolute advantage.

I'm afraid... as Teacher Cangyue said before, he's even stronger than Itachi Uchiha.

This is the truth!

"Sasuke, what are you bragging about? Of course I know!" Naruto Uzumaki's forehead showed a [#] mark as he pointed at Zabuza Momochi in the distance. "What I want to ask is, even though their elemental attributes are supposed to be opposite, why is this guy still burned to a crisp?"

"Idiot, I knew you weren't listening to what Teacher Cangyue was saying before." Haruno Sakura sighed, rubbing her forehead. "Teacher Cangyue said that the power of a technique increases with the amount of chakra injected."

Sakura Haruno said, "When there is a large difference in chakra levels, even if the elemental attributes are countered, it is meaningless."

She remembered what Cang Yue said, but of course she didn't remember the lewd things she said.

Naruto crossed his arms and nodded knowingly, "Oh, I know, Chadora, right?"

"Chakra!" Sakura Haruno glared at Naruto.

At this time, the other side.

Hinata Sogetsu, with a lollipop in his mouth, feigned an apologetic attitude, "Sorry, sorry, I hate getting wet. The feeling of being soaking wet is awful, so I couldn't help but use Fire Release."

He was telling the truth; he really hates getting wet.

Hyuga Sogetsu slightly raised his chin, looking at Zabuza in the distance with indifference and arrogance, and said in a very surprised tone, "But I didn't expect you to be so weak."

This is also true.

He just used a fire jutsu casually, intending to evaporate the waterfall and avoid getting his clothes soaked.

But never expected.

Zabuza actually used three Water Release techniques to barely withstand the Fire Release techniques he casually used.

Is it because of the rewards from the previous newbie gift pack?

After doubling his chakra reserves, the power of all his techniques also doubled.

Chapter 39 The Elementalization of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!

Zabuza Momochi, clutching his charred left arm and ignoring the searing pain throughout his body, coldly stared at Souzuki Hyuga and said with a sneer, "A head with a bounty of ten billion is indeed hard to take."

After that battle, he realized that Cang Yue was very strong, even stronger than the rumors suggested!

He can use Fire Release and Earth Release without forming hand seals, and even a single Fire Release can be powerful enough to reach S-rank!

In all his years of hunting missions, this was the first time he had encountered such an outrageous monster!

If the fighting continues, I'm sure I'll die!

But so what?

He is merely a tool called a ninja, possessing an ambition to accomplish something even at the cost of his life!

"I'm curious, who has put a bounty on me?" Hyuga Sogetsu said casually, playing with his silver-white hair. "It sounds narcissistic, but I doubt anyone in the Five Great Nations would dare to put a bounty on me."

"Even if I stick my neck out, those bastards won't dare to touch me."

Although he had many enemies in the ninja world and countless people wanted him dead, very few people would put a bounty on his head.

Because they are too strong!

For example, when the First Hokage was alive, would anyone dare to offer a bounty on his head?

He had a bounty placed on him by the Hidden Mist Village before, and then he went there and caused trouble, which eventually led the Hidden Mist Village to withdraw the bounty.

He has not had a bounty placed on his head since then.
