Chapter 83 Ambush
At this moment, Genma Shiranui, the examiner who was a special Jonin, finally realized the seriousness of the matter.
A sense of oppressive tension permeated the air.
"Hey, Naruto Uzumaki! What are you doing?"
Genma Shiranui shouted sharply, a bead of cold sweat appearing on his forehead.
However, the blond boy standing in the center of the field remained unmoved.
He simply stood there quietly, as if the surrounding noise had nothing to do with him.
Damn.
Genma Shiranui gritted his teeth.
His duty as an examiner, and his instincts as a high-ranking ninja, made it impossible for him to stand idly by.
He disappeared from the spot with the thousand books in his mouth.
Instantaneous movement technique.
The next second, he was already behind Naruto.
Without the slightest hesitation, Genma Shiranui reached out to grab Naruto's shoulder, attempting to subdue him with a grappling technique.
"Whatever you want to do, give it to me right now—"
Just as his hand was about to touch Naruto's clothes.
"Don't touch me with your dirty hands."
Naruto didn't even turn around.
A golden chakra chain suddenly shot out from behind him.
The chain was moving so fast that it completely exceeded the dynamic vision limits of a special jonin.
A sharp shriek seemed to tear through the air.
"Varied----"
Genma Shiranui didn't even see what happened.
next second.
He was tightly bound and entangled in chains, like a discarded garbage bag, unable to move as he fell to the ground.
Genma Shiranui felt that all the chakra in his body was completely suppressed by the domineering chains.
Now even moving a finger has become a luxury.
With a single strike, he instantly killed a special Jonin.
"This—this is—"
Not far away, Hyuga Neji, who had just woken up, stared blankly at the scene before him.
As he watched the back of the man who had effortlessly annihilated the special jonin, the image of his own back-and-forth battle with him involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
A sense of absurdity welled up inside me.
"So—when he fought me before, he wasn't serious at all?"
Neji's hand trembled uncontrollably as it pressed against the ground.
But within this trembling was a hint of indescribable fear and excitement.
Break free from fate —
Naruto ignored Genma, who had fallen to the ground, and Neji, who was in shock.
He raised his head, slowly pushed up his glasses, and looked at the silver-haired man who had jumped into the arena.
Eyes facing each other.
The four golden chains behind Naruto swayed slowly in the air, like the tail of a demon fox.
Kakashi stood opposite him and slowly pulled up his headband.
He also deliberately released the technique he had used to suppress his energy consumption, revealing his scarlet three-tomoe Sharingan.
This is Kakashi Hatake when he starts to get serious.
But at this moment, his eyes were extremely complex.
"Naruto————"
Kakashi's voice was a little hoarse: "It all started with the Chunin Exams—"
No, even starting from the Land of Waves—was it all part of your plan and lies?
He was met with Naruto's warm smile.
"Kakashi-sensei."
"Now that we've come this far, is there any point in asking this question?"
Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!
Kakashi fell silent, and blue lightning began to gather wildly in his palm.
The sound of thousands of birds singing resounded throughout the venue.
Yes, things have come to this point, and words are powerless to express it.
Whether for the sake of the village or to stop his misguided disciples, he had to take action.
However, before Kakashi could even sprint,
Naruto stood still, slowly extending two fingers to make a simple hand seal.
"To express my gratitude for all the knowledge you have taught me, as a return gift, I will also teach you a simple principle."
Naruto said softly, "That is—don't misuse things given to you by others."
Kakashi's pupils suddenly contracted.
Before he could even grasp the deeper meaning of those words, a sudden change occurred.
He felt that the techniques around his Sharingan, which were originally used to seal the Sharingan's energy consumption, suddenly began to operate in reverse!
"Ugh!"
Kakashi grunted, and the lightning that had just formed in his hand instantly went out.
The technique spread throughout his body instantly along his meridians, like a large net that had been woven long ago, forcibly cutting off and locking away the chakra extracted from his body.
Not only his Sharingan, but also his own chakra was sealed away.
thump.
Kakashi knelt on one knee, staring in shock at his hands.
He never imagined that he had been outmaneuvered all along.
In this game, there wasn't even a chance to make a move.
"Now, you have no reason to make a move, right?"
Naruto's smile remained unchanged as he casually took out a pre-prepared scroll from his pocket and gently tossed it in front of Kakashi.
"The method to break the seal is here; please study it first."
"Of course, there's also a real gift I prepared for you inside."
Naruto paused at this point.
"—If you're still willing to believe me."
After saying that, Naruto ignored him and walked towards the most luxurious seats, where high-ranking officials and nobles sat.
Chaos erupted in the audience.
The ninjas of Konoha clashed with the Sand Ninjas and Sound Ninjas who had been lying in ambush.
Explosions and shouts of battle rose and fell in succession.
A ninja wearing a Sound Ninja headband grinned as he charged toward the red-haired girl who appeared to be alone in the corner.
"Die, you brat!"
The kunai in his hand gleamed coldly as he thrust it down.
However, Karin, who was in the corner, did not scream this time.
Under Kagura's perception of her mind's eye, the other person's movements were as clear in her mind as if they were in slow motion.
Turn to the side and squat down.
Karin nimbly dodged the attack.
She then stuck a sealing talisman on the other person's leg.
The Sound Ninja felt a numbness in his legs, and then he was unable to move his entire body.
After resolving the trouble, Karin, without bothering to wipe the dust off her face, immediately looked down at the audience.
She looked at the blond boy who dominated the entire room, a hint of disbelief flashing in her eyes.
Is this the real Naruto?
That chakra was terrifying.
Cold, dark, and with a suffocating sense of oppression.
This was completely different from the chakra that was usually as bright as sunlight.
She instinctively felt a surge of fear.
Like the fear a herbivore feels when facing a top predator.
However, she did not run away.
Because she was thinking about the nightmarish days she had spent in Kusagakure.
She realized that in this world, only this person had reached out to her.
"It's okay————"
Karin bit her lip and pushed up her slightly slipped glasses.
The fear in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by an almost blind trust.
No matter how dark or cold that chakra was.
But as long as it's on that person, it's safe.
"Whatever you want to do—even if it's destroying this place—"
Karin huddled up, murmuring softly but with unwavering determination, "I'm watching you, Naruto."
Off the field.
Naruto lowered his arms, no longer looking at Kakashi kneeling on the ground behind him.
He strode towards the platform.
The execution is about to begin.
