Boom!
A cloud of white smoke erupted, and Gamabunta, who had just breathed in a second of fresh air, was sent back to Mount Myōboku with a single blow. The two were not on the same level. If he had been any slower, Bunta might have ended up on tonight's dinner table.
"What, what is going on?"
Naruto's mouth hung open, his eyes nearly popping out of his head. The giant toad he had summoned with nearly all his chakra had been instantly annihilated by one axe?
Who was this giant!
Kakashi rushed to Naruto's side the moment Momoshiki appeared, sensing that the target was Naruto.
"You... are you from the Ōtsutsuki clan from beyond the heavens?"
Combining their attire, appearance, and such arrogant attitude, Kakashi immediately thought of the Ōtsutsuki clan members Tobi had once told him about.
Things were not looking good!
Momoshiki said with surprise, "To think that a native would know of the Ōtsutsuki."
At this moment, Kinshiki, who was beside him, suddenly spoke, "Lord Momoshiki, this brat doesn't seem to be our target."
"Hmm?"
The veins around Momoshiki's Byakugan bulged as he saw that Naruto's body only contained chakra, with no trace of a tailed beast. He was immediately furious.
"How dare you play me for a fool!"
Rumble!
As Momoshiki's rage grew, the ground of the arena began to tremble, cracks appearing all over the surface, and large chunks of rock lifted off the ground and began to fall.
"Naruto, Neji, hurry and leave. The Chunin Exams are suspended. This is not a fight you can interfere with."
Kakashi lifted his forehead protector and faced Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki. As the third proctor, he absolutely had to protect the safety of everyone present.
"But..."
Naruto was still hesitant, but Neji, standing beside him, hooked Naruto's neck and pulled him towards the resting area. Naruto might not understand, but Neji, with his Byakugan bloodline, could clearly feel the suppression on a bloodline level.
The other party's Byakugan was far superior to his, with no comparison between the two.
At this moment, countless rocks were already floating in the arena. Momoshiki waved his hand and hurled them towards Kakashi, then coldly said, "Kinshiki, go retrieve the Eight-Tails."
"Yes, Lord Momoshiki."
Kinshiki's Byakugan spun as he observed his surroundings, then his body instantly vanished. When he reappeared, he was already above Killer Bee and the three chicken ninjas, reaching out to grab Killer Bee.
Chicken A closed his eyes and pretended to be dead, feigning a faint. "Finished, Chicken has high blood pressure, I'm fainted."
Chicken B and Chicken D also collapsed on the ground, mimicking their elder brother.
Killer Bee had completely lost the mood for rapping, sweat beading on his forehead. The target was actually him, no, it should be Hachi. What should he do!
"Bee, let me out. You are no match for him."
Only when truly facing a member of the Ōtsutsuki clan could one feel the immense pressure firsthand. Killer Bee's heart had already begun to harbor fear. What level of beings were these guys?
Kinshiki's expression was cold, as if he were merely a robot executing an order. His hand had already reached close to Killer Bee, just one step away from successfully capturing the Eight-Tails.
"Rage Style: Thousand Needle Dance!"
With a loud boom, Kinshiki was smashed into the arena by a figure covered in lightning-style chakra. The Fourth Raikage, Ay, appeared beside Killer Bee.
"You want to take Bee away? Did you ask me first!"
"Brother!" Killer Bee's eyes welled up with tears. He knew his brother wouldn't abandon him.
"Fourth Hokage, take Bee and leave first."
A special kunai inscribed with "Ninja Love" fell, and Minato Namikaze, dressed in his Hokage robes, instantly appeared. He grabbed Killer Bee and the three chicken ninjas on the ground and vanished again.
"Sorry, I have to evacuate the civilians first and ensure their safety. Wait for me!"
At this moment, the spectators in the audience had not yet grasped the severity of the situation. In their eyes, it was just a group of ninjas of unknown origin obstructing the Chunin Exams. This didn't cause any commotion; instead, it added to the excitement.
"Yo yo yo! Everyone look, the proctor is entering the arena!"
"What! The proctor is warming up!"
At this moment, the audience became even more lively. Battles between Jonin-level ninjas were rare occurrences, and the atmosphere instantly reached its climax.
"Go, smash him!"
"Proctor, quickly take that guy down!"
The audience was unaware of the truth, but Kakashi on the field knew the opponent's origin. However, precisely because he knew, Kakashi was momentarily unsure of how to act.
Various noisy discussions could be heard. Momoshiki's expression turned ferocious. "Lesser beings, how dare you discuss us! All of you, die!"
Momoshiki lightly tapped his finger, and the rocks that were floating in the air immediately shot out in all directions. He wanted to silence these natives completely.
"Iron Sand Defense!"
"Lava Style: Lava Golem Jutsu!"
At the critical moment, Rasa and Mei Terumī intervened, blocking all the rocks. Mu, meanwhile, flew directly above Momoshiki, and a transparent cubic barrier began to materialize in his hand.
"How dare you lay hands on my Iwagakure's Jinchuriki. You will not be forgiven."
From their previous conversation, it was clear that these two were targeting Jinchuriki. Even if they weren't the ones who attacked Roshi earlier, they were definitely associated. Given the opponent's strength, capable of instantly killing a Jinchuriki, Mu would not underestimate them.
"Don't use ninjutsu on him!"
However, Kakashi's warning was clearly a step too late.
"Dust Release: Atomic Dismantling Jutsu!"
A blinding cubic transparent barrier descended from the sky. Everything enveloped by it would be instantly decomposed into particles.
Momoshiki looked up at the massive cubic barrier and a cold smile appeared on his lips. He reached his right hand towards the top of his head and actively touched Mu's Atomic Dismantling Jutsu.
The Atomic Dismantling Jutsu, which could separate matter into its atomic state, was, without any surprise, completely absorbed by the Rinnegan on Momoshiki's right hand, not even a ripple being generated.
"How is this possible!"
Mu's face turned extremely grim. His Atomic Dismantling Jutsu had been absorbed just like that? Or nullified?
Momoshiki smiled playfully, extended his left hand, and a transparent cubic barrier appeared in his palm, but the energy contained within it far surpassed Mu's Atomic Dismantling Jutsu.
"Take this back!"
BOOM!
An extra-large cubic barrier appeared in the arena and continued to expand.
"Quick, retreat!"
Deeply aware of the power of his own ninjutsu, Mu immediately shouted for everyone to retreat. Then, a transparent barrier appeared in his hand again. The only thing that could counter the Atomic Dismantling Jutsu was the Atomic Dismantling Jutsu itself. The disaster he had caused could only be resolved by himself.
However... why was this thing so huge!
Mu was collapsing!
At this time, the ninjas in the audience finally realized something was wrong and wanted to evacuate, but their speed was no match for the enhanced Atomic Dismantling Jutsu.
Soon, a brilliant white light erupted in the arena, engulfing everyone.
...
"This should be it."
"Don't we need to inform Senior Momoshiki?"
Isshiki stopped in his tracks, his eyes paused, and he said, "No need. We'll each handle our own side. It's just right."
Isshiki did not wish to face Lin Yu, so he did not go to Konoha with Momoshiki. However, it seemed that the lineup here was not to be underestimated.
Three tailed beasts, each as large as a small mountain, did not conceal their presence and roared at Isshiki and Urashiki.
In front of them, ninjas dressed in red cloud black robes were dispersed in four directions.
Leading them was a ninja with a spiral mask, whose exposed eye sockets contained Sharingan filled with killing intent.
This time, Tobi would not let himself lose again!
