Chapter 129, One Sword Out, Four Tails Appear!
It's really bad luck to run into this guy.
Purple's eyes were full of solemnity. The power of that sword yesterday was still vivid in Purple's mind. It is said that the guy who fought him is still in critical condition.
Really...
"Hey! Cheer up."
Murasaki shouted in her heart. Winning or losing is no longer important. What's important is to stand up and walk out of the examination field.
As for surrendering, Murasaki is very clear that if he surrenders without fighting, he doesn't need to go back to Iwagakure.
Some ninjas, although they seem to be alive, are actually dead.
"I know."
The voice of the Four Tails, sounded, and Murasaki was slightly relieved.
"As my Jinchuriki, you really are quite disgraceful."
After a pause, Son Goku's voice continued to sound, and Murasaki's face suddenly fell, but after thinking about it, Murasaki didn't say anything.
"After all, it's Uchiha, so can you cooperate with me?"
"Strictly speaking, it's just an Uchiha who has opened the Three Tomoe Sharingan."
Son Goku's voice was somewhat disdainful, and after a pause, Son Goku continued to speak to Murasaki.
"Moreover, you need to understand one thing: the reason I'm willing to help you is that I don't want to die alongside you. That's all—don't read too much into it."
Murasaki: "..."
"What? Haven't you communicated with the Tailed Beast inside you yet?"
And at that moment, Raijin's voice echoed. Murasaki instinctively raised his head, realizing quite some time had passed.
In that instant, Murasaki felt his face burning.
"So, can I begin now?" Raijin's lips curved into a smile as he asked Shii.
...
"Truly befitting an Uchiha from a prestigious clan—so polite."
The Third Mizukage commented to Senju Tobirama beside him.
Senju Tobirama nodded subtly, smiling but saying nothing. However, the Third Tsuchikage Onoki felt a bit embarrassed and lowered his head.
Truly... embarrassing...
...
"May I... proceed..."
Hearing Raijin's words, Murasaki awkwardly replied. At this point, Murasaki didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How had he made such a blunder?
Murasaki now didn't even know if he should thank Raijin for waiting for him.
"Next time, communicate with your Tailed Beast before battle."
Raijin chuckled, and Murasaki blushed even more. Now, Murasaki just wanted to switch lives.
...
"Here we go again. That tone, seemingly concerned, yet so hard to accept."
In the stands, Orochimaru observed the scene and couldn't help but chuckle.
This could be useful; I should remember it for real combat.
"Hmph~" Tsunade chuckled softly, continuing to watch the battle in silence.
If Raijin wasn't at his peak yesterday, how much stronger would he be today?
...
"I'm going in."
Raijin informed Murasaki, and in the next moment, lightning crackled as the Kusanagi Sword vibrated rapidly under its electric influence.
Facing this strike, Murasaki couldn't even react...
"Roar!"
The Four-Tails, Son Goku, let out a furious roar. He knew Murasaki wasn't a match for this Uchiha, but being unable to withstand a single strike was a bit too much, wasn't it?
And just as the Four-Tails appeared, countless golden chains instantly entwined its massive form, forcibly pulling it back into Murasaki's body.
"I'll remember you, thirteen-year-old Uchiha."
As he left, Son Goku addressed Raijin.
"That's... quite an honor."
Watching the Four-Tails vanish in an instant and Murasaki collapse into unconsciousness, Raijin sheathed his sword and whispered softly.
...
"Oh!"
As Raijin sheathed his sword, the Konohagakure residents in the stands stood up instinctively, cheering loudly.
Elegant, composed, unhurried!
That's the Uchiha!
The powerful, proud Uchiha who maintains Konohagakure's security and rushes to the battlefield when the village needs it!
Such a formidable warrior belongs to us—Konohagakure!
Ours!
...
"A single strike... Four-Tails revealed... Is this Raijin's current strength?"
Orochimaru watched the scene, disbelief filling his heart. Suddenly, it all felt unreal.
Was this the same Raijin who listened to Hokage-sama's teachings with him yesterday?
Orochimaru knew very early on that Raijin was stronger than him, but he didn't expect that Raijin was so much stronger than him.
Tsunade didn't pay any attention to Orochimaru, she just silently watched the young man in the field who had sheathed his sword. Is this your peak?
Or is it to say that to defeat Murasaki, you only need this kind of strength?
Mysteriously, Tsunade remembered the words Raijin said before he went on stage, "Strong when encountering the strong."
Where is the peak? It's just that the standard for probing has been unilaterally raised.
Silently, a smile appeared at the corner of Tsunade's mouth.
No matter how strong he is, isn't he still the young man who can easily be pressed against the wall by her, willing to carry her home, willing to accompany her to the Konohagakure casino, and willing to use that amazing talent to learn the technique of rolling dice?
This is... my man.
...
The smile on Senju Tobirama's face was still as calm as ever, but in fact, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Yes, that's it, this is the effect that Senju Tobirama wants.
"So fast, such a sharp sword!"
Oonoki frowned slightly and exclaimed subconsciously. Such a genius, could this Uchiha be the next Uchiha Madara of Konohagakure?
Assassinate him!
This was the first thought that came to Oonoki's mind. But now, Uchiha Raijin's strength is not weaker than an average Jonin, let alone, such a level of genius, Konohagakure has no reason not to cultivate him wholeheartedly.
After all, if such a genius appeared in Iwagakure, Oonoki would even be willing to let Uchiha Raijin ride on his neck every day.
As for uniting other hidden villages to crusade against Konohagakure...
This thought just emerged and was vetoed by Oonoki.
Whether it's Mito Uzumaki who has completely mastered the Nine-Tails or the Jonin team of Konohagakure, which is quite large in scale, if all the ninja world unites to crusade against Konohagakure, Konohagakure has the strength to pull one or two large hidden villages to perish together.
If Iwagakure is the one to perish...
This is something Oonoki absolutely cannot accept.
But waiting for Raijin to grow up...
Oonoki's face became ugly.
Senju Tobirama silently watched the faces of several Kage, and by now, the purpose of the Chunin exam was almost completed.
...
"Uchiha Raijin wins!"
Nara Shinkichi jumped out and said, and with the fall of Shikaku's voice, the medical team also carried Murasaki away from the examination field on a stretcher.
