Chapter 704: Divine Might and Rasengan
Chapter 704: Divine Might and Rasengan
After Kakashi's battle, Kaito stepped forward.
On the other side, Shizai Shusen emerged from the crowd and walked towards the combat arena.
"It would be better if a stronger ninja came," Kaito thought to himself as he watched Shizai Shusen approach.
For Kaito, even a Mist Swordsman like Shizai Shusen seemed a little lacking.
Kaito's expression made Shizai Shusen feel displeased, but he kept it to himself. After all, times had changed.
Not only was it possible that he might not defeat Kaito, but even the Mist Village behind him couldn't compare to the Leaf Village behind Kaito.
"Don't lose as badly as Shizou did," Kikyo Shizuka thought to herself as she watched the battlefield.
She didn't expect Shizai Shusen to win, but she hoped he wouldn't embarrass the Mist Village too much.
"Kaito, ganbatte!" Haruno Rin clenched her right fist, cheering for Kaito.
Sensing Haruno Rin's gaze, Kaito subconsciously straightened his back, feeling a surge of energy within him.
In this battle, he not only wanted to win but also to win more impressively than Kakashi.
In fact, the exchange tournament had multiple battlefields, and while Kakashi fought Jibaxiang Shizou, Jonin from other villages were also engaged in battles.
However, most people were more interested in watching Kaito and Kakashi's battlefield, as the ninjas from both villages were not to be taken lightly.
"Begin the battle!" the referee ninja shouted after both ninjas were ready.
Whoosh! Shizai Shusen's legs burst with chakra, and he tightly gripped his ninja sword, thrusting it towards Kaito.
His ninja sword was more like an enlarged needle, and its most common attack was a stabbing motion.
Kaito infused his chakra into his eyes, activating the Sharingan.
Under the influence of the Sharingan, Shizai Shusen's movements slowed down, and the long, thin needle in his hand became clearly visible.
Ding! Kaito casually took out a kunai from his ninja tool bag and held it horizontally in front of him, blocking the incoming stab.
Shizai Shusen's expression remained unchanged as he swiftly retracted his needle and then thrust it forward again at high speed, stabbing sixteen times in an instant, each time aiming for vulnerable spots like the eyes, heart, and neck.
If it were an ordinary ninja, there would have been more than a dozen holes in their body, leading to immediate death.
However, Shizai Shusen was facing Kaito, who possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan. All of Shizai Shusen's attacks were futile against Kaito.
Additionally, the breathing technique further enhanced his physical abilities.
For Kaito, blocking Shizai Shusen's attacks was as simple as seeing and then blocking.
Whoosh! Seeing that his attacks were ineffective, Shizai Shusen retreated.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
Kaito quickly formed hand seals and used his most common opening skill.
"Water Style: Great Waterfall Jutsu!"
Shizai Shusen spat out a giant water ball, not only extinguishing the fireball but also creating a massive wave that rushed towards Kaito.
Kaito focused his breathing to strengthen his body and then released chakra to further enhance his physical abilities.
This water technique wasn't particularly lethal, but one had to be cautious of the opponent's counterattacks, such as using the Great Waterfall Jutsu to release other water techniques.
However, Shizai Shusen didn't use another water technique. Instead, he took out a shuriken from his ninja tool bag and threw it towards Kaito.
Of course, this attack couldn't hit Kaito, who easily dodged it.
"It's about time to win," Kaito thought.
Suddenly, Kaito's breathing rhythm changed again.
He focused his breathing to the extreme, burning a large amount of chakra and entering the Flame Breath Chakra Mode, significantly enhancing his physical abilities and fire attribute chakra nature transformation.
If Kaito just wanted to win, he could have instantly defeated Shizai Shusen.
But he wanted to win in style, to win beautifully, so he had to give Shizai Shusen some time to showcase his skills.
If he didn't allow his opponent to display their strength, who would know that the ninja defeated by his ingenious tactics was an elite ninja?
After entering the Flame Breath Chakra Mode, Kaito took the initiative and charged forward, taking out a kunai from his ninja tool bag and rushing towards Shizai Shusen.
Shizai Shusen neither retreated nor advanced; he only gripped his needle tighter.
As Kaito approached, Shizai Shusen's left hand suddenly moved.
"Long Sword Ninja Art: Earth Spider Stitch!"
Shizai Shusen pulled hard, yanking out the steel wire buried in the ground.
After retreating and blocking the fire technique, he had set up this trap.
Shizai Shusen took a step forward, and the needle in his right hand suddenly thrust forward.
Action: Facing the powerful Kaito, he had to give it his all to have a chance at victory.
Kaito remained calm, casually tossing a kunai in his hand without any further movement.
Swish!
The wire sliced through Kaito's ankle, but not a drop of blood flowed, and it passed through his body like a phantom.
At the same time, Shizai Shusen's needle pierced Kaito, also going straight through his body.
"Hmm?" Sensing the air being pierced, Shizai Shusen's eyebrows furrowed.
Realizing something was amiss, Shizai Shusen retracted his attack and tried to retreat.
Whoosh!
Kaito's body disappeared from Shizai Shusen's sight.
"Rasengan!"
The next moment, behind Shizai Shusen's blind spot, Kaito appeared with a Chakra Ball and smashed it into Shizai Shusen's back.
Boom!
The power of the Rasengan exploded, Shizai Shusen's pupils constricted, and he fell to the ground.
Kaito stood with his back to the Konoha ninjas.
"Rasengan?!" A Konoha ninja exclaimed in surprise.
Before the Third Shinobi World War, the Rasengan was not well-known in Konoha.
But during the Third Shinobi World War, Fuyuki Kamizono used the Rasengan to great effect, and Yu Sheng Mu Yue also used it in battles against strong opponents. Additionally, one of them became the Hokage, and the other became the Hokage's assistant.
The combination of their fame, achievements, and positions greatly increased the Rasengan's popularity, and now, few Konoha ninjas were unaware of it.
"Kaito has mastered the Rasengan; only three ninjas have learned this technique so far."
"Yes, before this, only the Second Hokage, the Fourth Hokage, and Fuyuki Kamizono had mastered it."
The Konoha ninjas looked at Kaito with astonishment.
Each master of the Rasengan was exceptional, so even though Kaito was already considered a super genius in their eyes, they were still surprised by his mastery of the Rasengan.
"Divine Might, combined with Rasengan, is a troublesome space-time ninjutsu..."
Kakashi subconsciously regarded Kaito as an imaginary enemy and found it challenging to defeat him in any analysis.
Even if Kaito was caught off guard, it would still be difficult to defeat him.
Divine Might, combined with Rasengan, gave Kaito a high error tolerance.
"Konoha has another ninja who has mastered the Rasengan." The Third Mizukage frowned slightly but soon relaxed.
After all, the deed was done, and Kirigakure and Konoha were now allies.
"I probably couldn't defeat him in a short time either." Kikyo Shizuka forgave Shizai Shusen for his defeat.
This time, it wasn't Shizai Shusen's fault; Kaito was too strong.
"Uchiha Kaito wins!" The referee announced.
Hearing the referee's announcement, Kaito turned and walked towards Haruno Rin and Kakashi's direction, his face filled with a smile he couldn't suppress.
This was the cool technique he had researched by studying Fuyuki Kamizono and Yu Sheng Mu Yue, the two strongest Rasengan users. He couldn't say much, but the coolness factor was definitely a perfect score.
"Kaito, you're amazing. You've already learned the Rasengan." Haruno Rin praised.
"It's not bad. It doesn't feel that difficult. After all, Teacher Yu Sheng Mu Yue taught it so well." Kaito was humble on the surface, but inside, he was laughing hysterically.
He had secretly practiced the Rasengan on the ship for this moment.
Genius Kakashi?
He, Kaito, was the strongest genius!
"Might Guy's battle is about to start," Kakashi said.
Haruno Rin looked towards the combat arena, curious.
"Who is Might Guy's opponent? I don't seem to remember him."
"If I remember correctly, his name is Taniwawa Bao, a renowned elite among the Kirigakure ninjas," Kakashi replied.
Kaito glanced at Kakashi with some dissatisfaction, wishing he could have enjoyed the moment a little longer.
But Might Guy's battle was indeed about to begin, and Kaito also looked towards the combat arena.
"Battle begins!"
"Eight Gates Release, Gate of Opening, Open... Gate of Closing, Open!"
At the start of the battle, Might Guy directly opened the fifth gate of the Eight Gates, and terrifying chakra burst forth from within.
He then focused his breathing to the extreme, entering the Stone Breath Chakra Mode, significantly enhancing his physical abilities, and his aura surged once more.
Taniwawa Bao's steps faltered under Might Guy's terrifying aura.
This hesitation caused Taniwawa Bao to completely lose the opportunity to attack.
"Morning Eagle!"
Might Guy rushed forward, his terrifying chakra making him resemble a hunting eagle.
Action: The Mist Hidden ninja, after just a glance at Might Guy's eyes, felt a chilling sensation as if they were being watched by a terrifying presence.
Whoosh!
Taniwawa Bao's vision blurred, and in the next moment, Might Guy appeared before him, his hands glowing with the power of the Stone Breath and Chakra Mode.
Taniwawa Bao could only raise his hands to defend himself.
Bang!
Taniwawa Bao felt an overwhelming force coming from Might Guy's palm, and he immediately lost consciousness, his body flying like a cannonball and slamming into the ground.
Silence...
Throughout the entire exchange conference venue, aside from the sounds of combat from other battlefields, there was no other noise.
The Mist Hidden ninjas stared in shock at the green figure.
Shizai Shusen and Jibaxiang Shizou had also suffered heavy defeats, but at least they had exchanged a few moves. Taniwawa Bao, however, had been truly defeated in an instant.
Almost as soon as the fight began, he was defeated without even landing a single attack.
"Is this the extent of their strength?" Might Guy shook his head in disappointment.
Morning Eagle, his newly developed Taijutsu, was a weaker alternative to Golden Horizon, causing less damage to his fingers but significantly reducing its power.
He hadn't even opened the Six Gates, nor had he used Golden Horizon or Day Tiger, yet his opponent couldn't withstand a single blow.
This ninja was not capable of challenging his Taijutsu; his strength was too ordinary.
Might Guy felt a bit disappointed, as he had thought his opponent would be on the same level as Huangtu from the Stone Hide Village.
"They've become faster and stronger," said Kanto Kyo Shukaku with a grave expression.
He had been defeated by Might Guy three times, but despite his diligent training, the gap between them had not only failed to shorten but had even widened.
"Has the gap between the Mist Hidden and the Leaf Village become so vast? Our village's elite warriors are being defeated by a Leaf Village genius," a Mist Hidden ninja thought with a grim expression.
Taniwawa Bao and the two Mist Swordsmen were not mere growing geniuses; they were experienced elite ninjas of the Mist Hidden Village.
But even these ninjas, when facing Might Guy, Kaito, and the other Leaf Village geniuses, seemed like Chunin fighting against Jonin.
The sheer strength of Might Guy, Kaito, and the others was evident.
Calling them geniuses was no longer appropriate; they were formidable warriors capable of standing tall in the Ninja World.
"They are the even more dazzling Sannin," Akatsuki Akaso sighed in her heart.
The current Sannin, who had shaken the Ninja World, were far inferior to Kakashi and his peers at the same age.
In contrast to the Mist Hidden ninjas, the Leaf Village ninjas were filled with laughter and joy.
With Kaito, Might Guy, and the others, the next generation of the Leaf Village, even if they couldn't surpass Yu Sheng Mu Yue's generation, would not fall too far behind.
At this moment, Chi Mei Ming stepped forward and challenged a Leaf Village Jonin who was slightly older than her. She skillfully utilized her two Bloodline Limits and swiftly defeated the Jonin within a short time.
Chi Mei Ming's battle was not as awe-inspiring as Might Guy's, but for the current Mist Hidden Village, it was a rare consolation.
The Mist Hidden Village also had its geniuses, even if they were slightly inferior at the moment.
Master Yuan nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this.
Chi Mei Ming's ability to defeat a Leaf Village Jonin in a short time meant she had not slacked off in her training. The timing of her challenge showed that she had thought it through and wasn't acting recklessly.
After this, only Kakashi accepted Kiten Mangetsu's challenge, while Kaito and Might Guy did not engage in any more fights.
No one challenged them, and they didn't seek out anyone else for an exchange.
The Jonin exchange conference also lasted for three days.
After the Jonin exchange conference, the Leaf Village exchange team did not return to the Leaf Village immediately but stayed for a few more days to participate in some minor activities.
Kaito and his team did not join these activities. After communicating with the team leader and the Mist Hidden Village, they toured the Mist Hidden Village and then visited many famous scenic spots in the Land of Water.
For Kaito, seeing the unique sights of a foreign land was one of the main reasons for his visit to the Land of Water.
Kaito fulfilled his wish and witnessed the unique scenery of the Land of Water, capturing everything with his camera.
When it was time to leave, Kaito was reluctant to go.
It was too difficult to tour an entire large country in just a few days, and even the famous tourist attractions were not fully explored.
Since both the Leaf Village and the Mist Hidden Village did not conceal any information, news from the exchange conference quickly spread to the other great ninja villages.
The performance of the young ninjas from the Leaf Village, as well as the exchange conference itself, received significant attention from the major ninja villages.
Soon after, the Stone Hide Village and the Sand Hidden Village also held ninja exchange conferences.
However, the conferences were not held in either the Stone Hide Village or the Sand Hidden Village but were instead organized in the Six Paths City of the Shinshu Sect.
The Sand Hidden Village was represented by Chiyado as the team leader, while the Stone Hide Village was led by Huangtu.
