066: No one’s leaving until you've all memorized it!!

Meanwhile, Ootori and Karasu, who had split up with Samui and the glasses girl to explore the north building, also encountered the tailing brooms.

But unlike the two girls who took a more gentle, evasive approach, the short-tempered, nearly two-meter tall, muscular man codenamed Ootori directly used jutsu to reduce the tailing broom soldiers to ashes.

"Hmph! Don't try to test us with these petty tricks anymore. It's useless.

"If you have the guts, come out and let's have a proper fight!"

Ootori roared, standing in the corridor on the third floor of the north building.

His voice boomed like thunder, even causing the surrounding fog to churn.

His body surged with power, and faint electrical sparks crackled around him.

Although it couldn't compare to the Fourth Raikage's "Lightning Release Chakra Mode," it still possessed considerable defensive and explosive power.

His nearly two-meter tall, robust physique stood like a wall, providing a strong sense of security.

Karasu, who usually disliked standing next to Ootori because it made his own slender frame seem even more like a bamboo pole, was grateful to have Ootori by his side in this suddenly fog-filled, dangerous school.

Sure enough, after Ootori's roar, the troublemaker appeared!

Thump! Thump! Thump!!!

Heavy footsteps echoed from the end of the corridor, as if a giant was charging towards them.

"Snort~~"

"Huff~~!"

Like an enraged bull, rough breathing dispersed the fog to both sides.

Ootori and Karasu finally saw the newcomer's appearance.

A burly man, over two meters tall, nearly three meters, with a face full of flesh, came into view.

His explosive muscles were terrifyingly layered, and a single arm was thicker than Karasu's entire body.

"Gulp..."

Karasu's eyes widened, and he swallowed hard.

What kind of monster was this? 

Kumogakure was known for their muscular men, like the Fourth Raikage, Killer Bee, and even Ootori.

But compared to this guy, they looked like children.

"Roar!!! Intruders! Die!!!"

The burly man stomped the ground and charged towards the two like a mountain.

"Come on!"

Ootori was not surprised but thrilled. 

Intense lightning crackled around his body as he charged towards the burly man.

Although he wasn't as large as his opponent, Ootori was extremely confident in his body, enhanced by the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

The two strong and ferocious figures collided fiercely in the corridor.

Bam!

Bam Bam!!

Bam Bam Bam!!!

A series of scalp-numbing blows exploded before Karasu.

The two giants exchanged blows, their fists meeting flesh, dispersing the surrounding fog completely.

"Exhilarating, so exhilarating!"

Ootori was overjoyed. He didn't expect Konoha to have someone with such terrifying physical strength.

He specialized in the Raikage's unique Lightning Release Chakra Mode, which greatly enhanced cell activity, granting him physical defense and speed far surpassing ordinary people.

But he found that the opponent's physical strength was no less than his own. Even...

"Ijika!"

The nearly 3-meter tall giant suddenly roared in rage.

His right fist seemed to create a sonic boom, carrying intense wind pressure as it struck Ootori.

"Boom!!!"

Rumble!

Ootori dodged to the side, but the spot where he had been standing was completely shattered and collapsed.

The two brawny figures fell from the third floor together.

Karasu's jaw dropped as he watched the two humanoid beasts demolish a section of the third-floor corridor. 

He was about to jump down to help Ootori when…

Heavy footsteps echoed from the corridor behind him.

He turned abruptly.

Another burly giant appeared before him.

"What? There's another one?"

Karasu didn't have time to think. 

His hands blurred as he rapidly formed hand seals:

"Lightning Release: Ground Walk!"

Blue arcs of electricity surged along the ground towards the giant.

In the blink of an eye, the giant's body was flashing with electricity and even emitting the smell of burnt meat.

"Ha! This guy's body is strong, but he can't withstand jutsu damage."

Karasu felt overjoyed at having inadvertently discovered the giant's weakness.

He had originally only intended to use Ground Walk to immobilize the opponent.

He didn't expect to seemingly electrocute him in one go.

"Ijika!"

Just as Karasu thought it was over…

The burly giant roared.

Whoosh!

His snorting breaths were as powerful and prolonged as a bull's.

Thump!!

The giant took another large stride and charged towards Karasu.

"What?! He's not dead? Not even immobilized?

"Then have another one! Let's see how many you can take!

"Lightning Release: Ground Walk!"

This time, several Ground Walk jutsus, which were primarily used to immobilize targets on the ground, along with shuriken from his pack, were thrown out.

The burly giant was completely battered.

But!

He only slowed down for a moment before resolutely charging forward again.

"Damn, this is an monster!"

This time, Karasu had no choice but to jump over the collapsed section of the corridor and flee to the fourth floor.

Covered in sweat, he reached the fourth floor. He saw a classroom with its door half-open.

In the dim light, he could faintly hear a teacher lecturing:

"Everyone, please turn to page 200 of The Will of Fire..."

Karasu peeked through the crack in the door.

Sure enough, a male teacher was standing at the podium, holding a thick book and lecturing.

What the hell, someone's still having class in this school?

Truly touching, such dedicated teachers and students. Even with the chaos outside, their enthusiasm for learning remains unaffected.

Karasu couldn't help but complain.

Just as he was about to leave this obviously abnormal classroom...

Heavy footsteps came from ahead.

"How did he get in front of me?" Karasu frowned.

Before he could retreat, heavy footsteps also echoed from the stairwell behind him.

"Why are there so many? Could Ootori have been defeated already?"

The heavy breaths grew closer and closer, and the entire corridor seemed to shake slightly under their weight.

"Damn it! Transformation Jutsu!"

He had no choice. 

He used the Transformation Jutsu to transform into an academy student and hid in this classroom. He planned to wait for the chaos to erupt, and then escape in the confusion with the crowd.

As for the teachers and students here, sorry, you're on your own. 

Since there are so many bizarre things in the academy and you're not afraid, you must have a way to deal with these monsters, right?

Karasu slipped into the classroom and immediately closed the door.

Two heavy presences stopped outside the classroom, just a door away.

Karasu held the door, not daring to breathe.

After a while, the two burly giants outside left with earth-shaking steps.

"Whew~~"

He let out a soft sigh of relief and turned around.

A pair of huge eyes were right in front of him.

"Ah~"

He let out half a scream before realizing that this was the teacher who had been lecturing just now.

"Which class are you from? Don't you know you can't run around during class?"

The nearly 1.9-meter tall teacher with a bandage on his nose asked sternly.

"..."

Karasu, transformed into a student, was about to randomly name a class,

when the teacher grabbed his arm, pulled him onto the podium, and shoved him under it.

"Hide and don't make a sound."

Knock, knock, knock!

As soon as the teacher finished speaking, there was a violent knock on the door.

The force was so great that the entire classroom trembled, and dust fell from the top of the door.

It felt like the door would be broken down at any moment.

"Scram! Don't disturb my class!"

The male teacher opened the door and angrily rebuked the burly giant knocking.

It turned out that the giant who had just left was attracted back by Karasu's scream.

The burly giant didn't speak much, mostly just shouting 'Ijika'. 

After roaring twice, he left reluctantly.

Karasu shivered under the podium. It seemed that the teachers in this school had a very high status.

Even such ferocious monsters were afraid of him.

After a while, the classroom door closed again, and the teacher returned to the podium and pulled Karasu out.

"My name is Irika, and I'm the teacher of Class 06. No matter which class you're from, you're in my class now.

"Otherwise, those guards will take you to the faculty office."

Teacher Irika patted the dust off Karasu's clothes.

"Teacher, what are those monsters?"

Karasu felt a bit touched.

"Monsters?" Irika looked at Karasu questioningly: "Those are just the school security, who focus primarily on physical training.

"Alright, find a seat."

With that, Teacher Irika handed Karasu a thick book.

"Today, everyone will memorize the content from pages 200 to 300 of The Will of Fire: Konoha Ninja Chronicles.

"No one is allowed to leave the classroom until you've memorized it!"

Karasu took the thick Konoha Ninja Chronicles, walked down from the podium, thinking he'd just blend in for a while and then make a run for it.

But when he looked around, there weren't any students. 

Instead, rows and rows of wooden training dummies were uniformly flipping through The Will of Fire: Konoha Ninja Chronicles.

"Ah!!!"

A piercing scream pierced the air.
