Chapter 351: Just Too Incredible 

"Heh, Kazama! Now that you've dispelled your Susano'o, we're not afraid of you anymore!" Sasuke immediately declared, his Perfect Susano'o charging towards Kazama once more. 

"Good. In that case, I'll show you my true power," Kazama retorted with a cold smirk. He then immediately unleashed the super Wood Style Ninjutsu he'd learned in a parallel world, the same technique used by Hashirama Senju himself. 

"Thousand True Hands: Summit Buddha!" 

As Kazama let out a roar, a colossal, Thousand-Handed Buddha statue, easily the size of a Tailed Beast, erupted into existence, instantly appearing amidst everyone. The sheer sight of it left all the spectators gasping in astonishment. Some of the more faint-hearted even fainted on the spot, never having witnessed such an overwhelmingly powerful Ninjutsu before. 

Even Naruto and the other Kage were left completely dumbfounded by Kazama's Wood Style. And among those frozen in shock was Tsunade, the previous Hokage, who had since retired. After all, this Thousand True Hands: Summit Buddha was a secret technique that only her grandfather, Hashirama Senju, was supposed to be able to use! 

Before Naruto and the other Kage could even process what was happening, Kazama pressed his attack, using the Summit Buddha to utterly dominate them and Sasuke, forcing them to retreat again and again. Even Naruto, in his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, found himself completely helpless against Kazama's technique. 

Then, Kazama deftly manipulated the Thousand True Hands to encircle everyone, trapping them tightly. He then looked at them and asked, "Well? Do you acknowledge my power now?" 

"We do! We absolutely do!" Naruto, Sasuke, and the other Kage-level experts immediately bowed and clasped their hands in respectful acknowledgment towards Kazama. They had truly felt the terrifying depth of Kazama's power. 

Naruto suddenly realized that Kazama's greatest strength was his unique flames. From what he knew, Kazama had already acquired twenty-three of them, each one even more powerful than the last. Yet, Kazama hadn't even used any of these unique flames; he'd defeated them simply by relying on pure Ninjutsu! This could only mean that Kazama's skill had reached an unparalleled level of mastery. Naruto thought to himself, if Kazama had used his unique flames against them just now, they wouldn't have stood a chance to fight back at all! 

The thought sent a cold sweat running down Naruto's back. He now understood that Kazama was indeed incredibly, unbelievably powerful. 

Meanwhile, the stunned spectators, having witnessed Kazama single-handedly defeat the Five Kage — including Naruto — all gave him a resounding thumbs-up. They had initially believed in the Five Kage's victory and thought Kazama, being just one person, couldn't possibly fight off so many powerful individuals. But they had never imagined that Kazama truly could defeat five Kage and an incredibly powerful Uchiha Sasuke all by himself. Such an achievement was truly unprecedented! 

As everyone remained in awe, the referee's voice cut through the air, announcing the immediate resumption of the Chunin Exams. The new generation of ninja immediately began to eagerly engage in their battles. After all, they all yearned to become Chunin quickly and acquire even more powerful Ninjutsu, aspiring to become existences as incredibly formidable as Kazama himself. 

After the battle concluded, the Five Kage and Sasuke wasted no time in showering Kazama with continuous praise and compliments. 

Chapter 352: The Ōtsutsuki Trio Attacks 

They weren't just flattering Kazama, you know? They truly admired him. After all, they'd never seen anyone manage to defeat all six of them by themselves. And while they knew Kazama was incredibly powerful, they really wanted to see just how powerful he was. They just never expected that instead of a draw, he'd completely flatten them! That was something they could never have predicted before. So, naturally, they held a deep respect for Kazama now. 

But Kazama isn't one to bask in glory or get arrogant. So, when he saw everyone showering him with praise, he just awkwardly waved his hand. He then turned back to them and said, "Alright, everyone, please stop complimenting me! You know I get embarrassed easily. Let's hurry up and watch the Chunin Exams for this new generation!" 

"Got it, no problem!" 

At this point, everyone was basically following Kazama's lead. Whatever he said, they believed. 

But just as they were about to watch the new generation of shinobi begin their Chunin Exam arena battles, a powerful attack suddenly descended from the sky, instantly obliterating the arena below them into rubble. Then, three shinobi dressed in white robes appeared before everyone. This instantly startled Naruto and the other Kage, as they could already sense the immense pressure emanating from these three. 

However, Kazama showed no surprise at all. Instead, he just sneered at the three white-robed figures. These three were the Ōtsutsuki trio that Kazama had been waiting for: Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki, Ōtsutsuki Kinshiki, and Ōtsutsuki Urashiki. These were the shinobi sent by the main Ōtsutsuki family, the Celestial Clan, to retrieve the Nine Tailed Beasts and replant the God Tree on Earth. 

These three were notorious for being arrogant and tyrannical. Their goal in planting the God Tree on Earth was to drain all the chakra from the shinobi on the planet, then eliminate humanity. If Kazama hadn't known about their sinister plot, he might not have bothered with them. But now that he was aware of their scheme, there was no way he'd let them get away with it. 

In a flash, Kazama appeared right in front of the three. At this moment, the trio had no idea just how strong Kazama was. So, when they saw that he was just a teenager, they naturally sneered at him. 

"You little runt! Who do you think you are, daring to be so arrogant in front of us, the Ōtsutsuki trio?!" 

"I'm telling you, you little punk, get lost right now! Our target is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, not you!" 

"Heh, do trash like you even have the right to spout nonsense in front of me?" Kazama retorted, a cold smirk on his face. 

The Ōtsutsuki trio, who originally didn't think much of Kazama, were now absolutely furious to hear him mock them. So, in an instant, they charged at Kazama. 

"Little runt, today you'll witness the power of our Celestial Clan, the Ōtsutsuki!" Ōtsutsuki Urashiki was the first to rush towards Kazama. But just as he thought he could instantly kill Kazama, something utterly unexpected happened. 

Chapter 353: Trouncing Ōtsutsuki Urashiki! 

It turned out that Kazama's regular eyes had suddenly transformed into the Rinnegan! 

Then, in just a flash, Kazama unleashed Shinra Tensei. It sent Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, along with Ōtsutsuki Kinshiki and Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki – that whole Ōtsutsuki trio – flying hundreds of meters back! 

This sudden turn of events completely caught the Ōtsutsuki trio off guard. It wasn't that the Ōtsutsuki were actually afraid of Kazama's Shinra Tensei. No, it was that they never in a million years expected some seemingly ordinary kid to actually possess the Rinnegan dōjutsu of their Ōtsutsuki clan! What's more, the Shinra Tensei Kazama unleashed was far more powerful than any ordinary one. After all, Kazama had now gathered all the mysterious 'Heavenly Flames,' so his own power had undergone a truly earth-shattering transformation. 

Meanwhile, as soon as Naruto, Sasuke, and the other Kage-level shinobi saw Kazama make his move, they quickly backed off to the side. It wasn't because they just wanted to watch the show; they knew Kazama's current strength was so immense that they'd only get in the way. If they tried to jump in, they wouldn't just be useless; they might actually end up doing more harm than good. So, it was best for them to pull back immediately and let Kazama go all out against the Ōtsutsuki trio. After all, Naruto, Sasuke, and the others knew Kazama's power inside and out. They were well aware that, in the entire Shinobi World, no one stood a chance against Kazama. It didn't matter if this Ōtsutsuki clan came from the heavens, or the depths of hell, or some other dimension – it was utterly pointless. After all, Kazama was nothing short of a monstrous genius. 

At this point, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, having just been humiliated in their very first exchange, was so furious that he actually started laughing. With a wild grin plastered on his face, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki charged back towards Kazama. 

"Alright, brat! I gotta admit, you've actually impressed me. An ordinary nobody like you actually has the Rinnegan! But let me tell you, the Rinnegan can only belong to the Ōtsutsuki clan. So, that cheap knock-off Rinnegan of yours, you little punk, it belongs to us! If you're smart, you'll gouge out your own eyes right now, or I'll make you beg for death, only to deny it!" 

Before Ōtsutsuki Urashiki could even finish his arrogant speech, Kazama, in a flash, used Shunshin no Jutsu and instantly appeared right behind him. See, Kazama wasn't one for all that grandstanding and idle chatter like Ōtsutsuki Urashiki. To Kazama, this Ōtsutsuki trio was nothing but pure evil, completely rotten to the core, so he knew he had to finish them off. 

But this Ōtsutsuki completely failed to realize that not only did Kazama possess the Rinnegan, but his Shunshin no Jutsu was blindingly fast too. That realization sent a jolt through him, and Ōtsutsuki Urashiki quickly used Yomotsu Hirasaka to barely dodge Kazama's attack. Seeing that Kazama's attack had missed, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki sneered triumphantly at him once more. 

"Heh, heh, heh. What's wrong, little punk? Think your attacks are flawless? Let me tell you, you've probably never even seen a jutsu like this before, have you?" 

"Isn't that just Yomotsu Hirasaka? What's so special about it?" 

"What?!" 

The moment Kazama uttered those words, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki was instantly startled. Even Ōtsutsuki Kinshiki and Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki, who had been watching from the sidelines, looked completely shocked. 

Chapter 354: Beating Isshiki Ōtsutsuki 

This "Yomotsu Hirasaka" , that's a ninjutsu that comes from their Ōtsutsuki clan's Rinnegan. Ordinary folks wouldn't even know about it, let alone be able to use it. 

But now, Kazama just said the name of their jutsu right after seeing it. How could they not be shocked? 

At that moment, Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki immediately moved next to Ōtsutsuki Urashiki and whispered to him, "This kid is weird. You need to use all your strength to kill him right now. Don't waste any more time with him, or something else will happen if we drag this out!" 

"Heh, don't be such a wimp, Momoshiki! Don't let someone else's ambition extinguish your own prestige. This brat is no match for me at all. Plus, his strength is so high, and he even knows our Ōtsutsuki clan's forbidden jutsu. Of course, I want to have some fun with him and see what special ninjutsu he has. If his ninjutsu can pique my interest, then I'll naturally take it for my own!" 

Urashiki Ōtsutsuki didn't listen to Momoshiki at all. Instead, he immediately reached out with one hand, and a red fishing rod instantly appeared in his grasp. A red fishing basket also appeared on his back. 

This is Urashiki Ōtsutsuki's special ninja tool. This red light fishing rod can penetrate an opponent's body and "fish out" their chakra. And anyone who has their chakra stolen like that can't gather it properly for a long time. So, Kazama was very familiar with this move of Urashiki's. 

However, Kazama wasn't scared in the slightest. That's because Kazama's body now possesses the strongest defense of Volcanic Rock Flames. So, even Urashiki Ōtsutsuki's red light fishing rod couldn't pierce Kazama's body. 

At this moment, Urashiki Ōtsutsuki still didn't know that Kazama's current abilities could completely counter him. 

So, he smiled again and said to Kazama, "You little brat, you're so young, yet your strength is pretty high. It's a shame that no matter how awesome you are, you'll never be a match for our Ōtsutsuki clan!" 

The moment Urashiki finished speaking, he instantly flashed in front of Kazama. Meanwhile, Naruto and Sasuke, who were off to the side, were completely shocked when they saw how fast Urashiki Ōtsutsuki's Body Flicker Jutsu was. If it were them, they wouldn't have been able to dodge it no matter what. 

Unfortunately, even though Urashiki Ōtsutsuki's Body Flicker Jutsu was as fast as lightning, Kazama, with his Rinnegan, still saw Urashiki Ōtsutsuki's every move clearly. 

But Kazama didn't dodge. He wanted to stand his ground and just beat Urashiki Ōtsutsuki down, to let Urashiki know that he wasn't someone to be messed with. 

At this moment, Urashiki Ōtsutsuki didn't know that Kazama was planning to just stand there and beat him. He thought Kazama hadn't reacted, so he let out a long laugh. He directly aimed his red light fishing rod at Kazama, hoping to pierce Kazama's body and then fish out his chakra. 

But Urashiki Ōtsutsuki never expected that his previously indestructible, always-victorious red light fishing rod would not only fail to pierce Kazama's body but would actually break against it. This immediately scared Urashiki Ōtsutsuki, causing him to stumble back several steps, cold sweat pouring down. 

Chapter 355: Trouncing Ōtsutsuki Kinshiki! 

Ōtsutsuki Urashiki had never encountered anyone whose body could withstand his signature red light fishing rod. Even though that fishing rod could automatically reattach if broken, it still made Ōtsutsuki Urashiki break out in a cold sweat. 

At that moment, Kazama chuckled coldly at Ōtsutsuki Urashiki. "Seriously, are you here to fish or something? Why are you waving around that crappy rod? If you actually want a fishing rod to fight me, I suggest you get a real one. Because that junk you've got isn't going to lay a scratch on me!" 

"This is infuriating!" 

By now, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki saw that Kazama wasn't just unafraid of his red light fishing rod, he was even openly mocking him! This, naturally, sent Ōtsutsuki Urashiki into an absolute fit of rage. So, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki immediately tried to launch another attack on Kazama. But then, he suddenly muttered to himself, "Hmm, this little punk's body defenses are tough, but even the strongest shinobi can't defend themselves from every single angle. If I can strike his vital points from behind, maybe I can pierce through him. As long as I can impale him with my red light fishing rod, I can drain his Chakra! Once this little punk's out of Chakra, let's see him try to act so cocky!" 

With that thought, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki immediately activated Yomotsu Hirasaka with blinding speed. In just a blink, he opened up a new spatial portal right behind Kazama. Using Yomotsu Hirasaka, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki silently slipped through and reappeared directly behind Kazama. He hoped this would allow him to pierce Kazama's body. Ōtsutsuki Urashiki believed that his previous attack had failed because Kazama had seen through his move and set up his defenses preemptively. Now, he figured as long as he could stay out of Kazama's direct line of sight, he could easily take Kazama down. 

But to Ōtsutsuki Urashiki's utter shock, his red light fishing rod, just like before, simply snapped against Kazama's impossibly hard body. At that moment, Kazama extended one hand and, reaching through the Yomotsu Hirasaka portal, instantly seized Ōtsutsuki Urashiki by the neck! He clutched Ōtsutsuki Urashiki so tightly that the Ōtsutsuki's face turned ghostly pale, and his breathing became shallow and strained. 

Meanwhile, Ōtsutsuki Kinshiki and Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't believe their eyes! Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, a peer in strength, was being completely overwhelmed by Kazama after just a few exchanges. Then, Ōtsutsuki Kinshiki quickly turned to his master, Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki, and asked, "Master, Urashiki is our comrade, after all. Should we jump in and help him right now?" 

"Heh, heh, heh. Don't you worry about it, Kinshiki. While Urashiki might be on the back foot for now, there's no way some puny Earthling brat can finish him off. If that were to happen, then Urashiki would just be a pathetic wimp, and a wimp isn't worth our time to rescue." 

Because Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki spoke so loudly, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, still clutched tightly in Kazama's hand, heard every single word crystal clear. Ōtsutsuki Urashiki smirked coldly, and then, in a flash, he activated Yomotsu Hirasaka once more, slipping free from Kazama's grasp. The moment Kazama saw how Ōtsutsuki Urashiki had perfected Yomotsu Hirasaka, a flicker of surprise crossed his face.
