Chapter 808: The True Test!
Chapter 808: The True Test!
Too little!
After Tian Tian's barrage of attacks, her Chakra consumption was pitifully low.
Her own Chakra reserves were only at the level of an Upper Rank Shinobi.
And that was with the help of resources.
Logically, it should only be enough for a few A-Rank Jutsu.
But Tian Tian's barrage, not counting the destruction of the warships' Explosive Rounds, had already taken down over a thousand Sea Beasts.
If she had used Rasengan, it would have taken hundreds or even thousands.
Rasengan is an A-Rank Jutsu, and while it's not primarily focused on damage, being a basic and instant technique, it still demonstrated Tian Tian's terrifying output.
Yet her Chakra consumption was pitifully low.
This was the key point.
The Chakra she consumed was only used to activate her Spatial Talent, releasing the Electromagnetic Cannon and cannons, without using any Ninjutsu, hence the minimal consumption.
With this kind of firepower, she could maintain continuous attacks for an extended period.
Even though Tian Tian was only a Chunin, her offensive power was on par with a Hyper Shadow-level Shinobi.
This was what made her so special.
Her Spatial Ability was always divine.
Of course, achieving such terrifying power wasn't without a cost.
Setting aside the value of the Extraordinary Organ, the ammunition consumption alone was astronomical.
Not counting the Electromagnetic Cannon's usage, just calculating the cost of the Explosive Rounds showed how extravagant the price was.
A total of 48 Explosive Rounds, with five Detonation Seals inside each, added up to 240 seals.
The price of Detonation Seals, thanks to the Radiant Sun Pavilion's efforts in cultivating various materials and improving production methods, was no longer as expensive as before, with each seal costing several thousand ryo.
But even at the internal cost, each seal would be at least 10,000 ryo, and they could be sold for much more on the market.
Moreover, the price was always rising due to unlimited demand.
So, this round of cannon attacks was like a 'pay-to-win' strategy.
Several million ryo!
It was equivalent to the reward of an S-Rank mission.
The bounty for an Upper Rank Shinobi in the underground black market was only around ten million ryo.
Indeed, only by spending money could one become stronger.
After Tian Tian stored her weapons using her Spatial Talent, the silver armor on her body slowly transformed back into bracers, ending her combat form.
At this moment, Neji and the others had brought over the giant black fishman who had an overwhelming aura moments ago.
The fishman was now less than ten meters tall.
As for the rest?
During the Electromagnetic Cannon's barrage, Tian Tian didn't intentionally avoid them, and they were all blasted away along with the Sea Beast horde.
However, Tian Tian noticed something.
The gazes of her Team 7 members had changed significantly, even the thick-headed Naruto remained silent.
It was inevitable; anyone who witnessed a former peer suddenly transforming into a super-powerful being would be deeply impacted.
'Can going to the Radiant Sun Country really make one so powerful?'
Sakura couldn't help but have this thought flash through her mind.
Before, she at least had Tian Tian, Ino, and Hinata to accompany her at the bottom.
But now?
Setting aside Hinata's hidden strength, even Tian Tian had become so formidable, and with her best friend Ino also working hard, Sakura keenly realized the gap between civilians and Shinobi.
She had fallen far behind her peers.
In the original storyline, she would have been taken as a disciple by Tsunade at this point, naturally avoiding such thoughts.
But now that Tsunade had become the Radiant Sun Country, Sakura lost this opportunity, even with her precise Chakra control and quick wit.
Were there not enough geniuses overlooked in Konoha?
Without a background or connections, a civilian dreaming of receiving focused cultivation was just a fantasy.
It was like the case of Mizuki Kamizono.
If he hadn't been taken as a disciple by Jiraiya and won the heart of Uzumaki Kuchiyana, would he have ever obtained the Flying Thunder God?
It was laughable.
This was why Konoha was considered corrupt.
To receive fair treatment, one had to be part of the 'Hokage's inner circle'; otherwise, they were treated as mere tools.
Sakura's talent was not weak, and it was even on the level of a female protagonist, but the lack of resources and heritage meant that she could only serve as a mood setter for now, and it was no wonder that her feelings were complicated when she saw Tiantian's performance.
Compared to Sakura, Sawai was mentally assessing how to deal with her if they were to fight.
For ninjas, as long as there was sufficient intelligence, they could find a targeted solution.
Daisuke felt that his Wood Style was a bit outdated, and against such firepower, there was no chance of defending against it.
Stomp!
Tiantian stood before the several-meter-tall black Fishman, and even though he was taller, her aura completely suppressed him.
"Ninja-sama, we have no intention of offending you!"
The Fishman looked down at the blood-red ground beneath his feet, not daring to look directly at Tiantian.
It was too terrifying, too scary.
Even after escaping from the lab and seeking refuge in the Sea Country, he had seen all kinds of grand scenes.
But he had never seen such a grand scene before.
It was even scarier than the army of the New Mist Hidden Village, so it was not surprising that he lowered his head in submission.
After witnessing such power, it would be strange if he didn't back down.
"Is that so!"
Tiantian didn't immediately ask about the lab.
Because there were still people from Konoha nearby.
"By the way, we've been attacked by Sea Beasts all the way here. Was it you who commanded them?"
Neji suddenly thought of something and asked casually.
However, his question made the black Fishman pause, and after hesitating for a moment, he replied in a low voice: "No, recently the Sea Beasts have all been restless and highly aggressive. There are also several powerful ninjas in black and red robes who have appeared in this sea area, and they even captured Gyorin Fire!"
This was an unexpected piece of news.
Neji and Tiantian exchanged glances, realizing that the situation had become serious.
But Tiantian's eyes flickered, and she suddenly thought of something.
If this mission was solely about investigating the truth behind the lab, it probably wouldn't be worth Tang Ping's personal attention.
However, if it was related to the Akatsuki, then it wouldn't be a problem.
In other words, the real task and test for their squad was to investigate and stop the Akatsuki?
"Could it be the Akatsuki?"
Sakura muttered to herself as she listened in.
As a top student, she naturally remembered a vast amount of information, and it was impossible for her to be unfamiliar with the Akatsuki and the Shell Group, these two dangerous and powerful mercenary organizations. That was why she was able to react so quickly.
"What? Sasuke joined the Akatsuki!"
Naruto became alert.
Because if he remembered correctly, Sasuke had joined the Akatsuki (Orochimaru was an Akatsuki member).
He had always wanted to track down the Akatsuki, but since they were so mysterious and he couldn't leave the village at will, he had to give up.
Now that he heard news of the Akatsuki, it was no wonder he was excited.
'What is the Akatsuki's ultimate goal?'
Tiantian pondered the Akatsuki's objective.
They wouldn't appear here without a reason.
Because this was the outskirts of the Ninja World, not a core area.
It could be said that the Sea Country now, like a whirlpool, had attracted a lot of attention.
"Should we take a break first?"
Neji suddenly spoke up.
And with this, he was hinting to Tiantian not to make a hasty decision.
"That's right, let's take a break first!"
Tiantian nodded in agreement.
However, they didn't plan to rest on this island but instead intended to find another location.
Due to the electromagnetic cannon, the island was directly stained red with blood and flesh, and although ninjas weren't as particular as nobles, there was certainly no one who wanted to rest in such an environment.
"Sir, there's a small island nearby that's suitable for resting..."
The several-meter-tall black Fishman, Gyorin, spoke up in a fawning manner.
Hmm, this action contrasted sharply with his several-meter-tall, small giant-like, robust physique.
However, for survival, it was understandable.
Even the few dozen Fishmen who had barely survived cheered for their leader.
After witnessing that terrifying thing, who wouldn't be afraid?
