The squad led by Toroi was composed of excellent ninjas. Whether it was their combat experience or their cooperation with each other, everything was impeccable. The most crucial point was that Toroi was a Kekkei Genkai user, possessing Magnet Release. If Kazekaze were to confront him head-on alone, he wouldn't have much confidence. Fortunately, Toroi's primary target was Hiruzen Sarutobi, and his secondary target was Uzumaki Weiming. As for Kazekaze and Sakumo, he didn't take them seriously at all. How could two seven or eight-year-old kids possibly be a match for a Chunin from Kumogakure? This wasn't underestimating the enemy or being careless, but a deduction based on common sense.
"The third gate, the Gate of Life, open!"
Kazekaze clenched his fists, and the moment he released Hashirama's chakra, he opened the Gate of Life in one breath. His fair skin turned red due to the rush of blood, his arm muscles bulged, and his whole body emitted a green energy. Both his strength and speed had significantly increased. Sakumo and Yuna's gazes were instantly drawn to Kazekaze.
"What... what is that!" Sakumo widened his eyes in disbelief. He felt that the current Kazekaze was completely different from before, especially the green energy he was emitting, which dispelled the pressure Sakumo felt from the Cloud ninjas.
'Why does Kazekaze have such terrifying power.'
Sakumo swallowed nervously, once again realizing the gap between him and Kazekaze. And… Sakumo saw Kazekaze's action of bending one knee and instantly realized his intention.
"Kazekaze, are you... planning to fight those five Cloud ninjas!"
Even though Kazekaze was the grandson of Hashirama, such a thing still seemed too unbelievable to Sakumo. After all, Kazekaze was just a Genin. Whether it was his combat thinking or his actual combat experience, he couldn't compare to a Chunin. But his eyes showed neither confusion nor fear. Instead...
Sakumo felt a strong confidence from Kazekaze!
'This guy... Is he really a Genin who is a year younger than me?' This is beyond shocking!
Although Yuna couldn't see as many details as Sakumo, looking at Kazekaze's back, she felt that the boy in front of her was exceptionally reliable! And...
From Kazekaze, Yuna felt a great sense of security. It seemed that as long as he stood in front of her, no one could harm her.
The Chunin from Kumogakure, on the other hand, felt their scalps tingle. The kid in front of them, who looked only seven or eight years old, was clearly a child. Why...
Why did he possess such exaggerated, majestic chakra! Even their captain, Toroi, didn't have such exaggerated chakra!
"Could it be a transformation technique? He's not really a seven-year-old kid!" A Chunin couldn't help exclaiming, but he quickly dismissed this idea. Perhaps...
At the beginning, Kazekaze might have used a transformation technique to disguise himself. But there was no need for him to maintain the transformation during combat! This precisely indicated that Kazekaze didn't use a transformation technique. He was indeed a seven-year-old child!
"How is this possible, a seven-year-old Genin from Konoha, has a chakra volume more terrifying than an elite Jonin? And his body, what kind of ninjutsu is that. Wait, am I... scared?"
One of the Cloud ninjas realized that his hands were shaking uncontrollably. In fact, not just him, all five Chunin who had followed Toroi were intimidated by Kazekaze's chakra burst! Even if they didn't want to admit that they were scared by a seven-year-old child, the oppressive feeling formed by the killing intent emanating from Kazekaze made them feel afraid!
In reality… If they hadn't seen with their own eyes that Kazekaze was just a seven-year-old child, they would have thought he was as strong as an elite Jonin from Konoha
Boom!
Kazekaze instantly shattered the ground, leaving spider-web-like cracks, and then rushed to a Cloud ninja.
'This is not a combat training. It's a slaughter between two major ninja villages. Kindness, mercy, they are meaningless here. If I don't deal with them here, the ones who get hurt will be me and my companions.'
Kazekaze warned himself in his heart. This was not some ninja game. Either deal with the enemy, or be dealt with by the enemy. There was no third choice. He must… Be decisive in killing!
'Most importantly, my body is not strong enough to maintain the Eight Gates for a long time. This battle must be quick.'
Kazekaze's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he clenched his fist. The most troublesome enemy was Toroi, who possessed Magnet Release. His combat power might be even stronger than these five Chunin.
'I must conserve my strength to deal with him.'
"In that case, the Gate of Pain, open!"
At the moment his fist was about to swing out, Kazekaze sequentially opened the Gate of Pain and the Gate of Limit. Finally, he used his superhuman strength to unleash Cherry Blossom Impact!
Boom!
A thunderous explosion sounded next to Kazekaze's ear, and the Cloud ninja he hit had his chest armor instantly caved in, all his ribs broken! However, before the broken ribs could crush his internal organs, his vital organs had already been severely damaged by the impact of Cherry Blossom Impact!
Splat!
The Chunin's body flew backward like a kite with its string cut, spewing blood from his mouth. What was even more incredible was...
Before the blood could splash onto Kazekaze, he had already disappeared from the spot. What was even more terrifying was… Kazekaze didn't know any Body Flicker Technique, he was just running at high speed. By the way, he was shattering the ground into pieces.
'The damage from the Gate of Pain is really exaggerated...'
Kazekaze couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If it weren't for inheriting Hashirama's self-healing, he would have probably fallen due to the damage when dealing with the first enemy. However, the powerful self-healing gave him the capital to continue fighting.
"No, don't come over!"
The ninja from Kumogakure showed a terrified expression, waving his kunai frantically, trying to repel Kazekaze and keep him away. But… For them, who were witnessing the Eight Gates for the first time, how could their eyes possibly catch Kazekaze? For a while, these four Chunin all became targets for Kazekaze to test his strength!
"Heavenly Foot of Pain!"
Kazekaze raised his right leg above his head, aimed at the shoulder of the second ninja, and slammed down.
Boom!
Another sonic boom exploded, and the ninja's bones broke on the spot. His body fell stiffly, spitting out blood, twitched twice, and then stopped moving. Then it was the third, the fourth… Facing Kazekaze, who was using superhuman strength and the Eight Gates, they had no ability to resist. And the remaining Chunin, like a madman, clutched his kunai and ran straight towards Sakumo. It seemed that he wanted to take a Konoha Genin down with him before he was dealt with.
But… How could Kazekaze give him that chance?
Immediately!
Kazekaze appeared in front of the fifth ninja, and with a Rising Dragon Fist, shattered his jaw.
