Naruto: The Teaching System - 220

Chapter 220: If My Disciple Shows Any Signs of Trouble, Konoha's Army Will Flatten Your Iwagakure!

Taking advantage of his upper hand, Sawada didn't waste the opportunity and cautiously formed a single-handed seal with his right hand.

Immediately, he spat out several massive Wind Release blades, solid as reality and imbued with Sage Mode chakra.

Buzz buzz—

The wind blades directly cut through the air, sealing off all of Killer Bee's escape routes.

Seeing all his evasion paths blocked by Sawada, the Tailed Beast chakra tentacles behind Killer Bee surged rapidly.

At the same time, Killer Bee used his seven swords again, but this time not for binding. Instead, he injected Lightning Release chakra to create high-frequency vibrations with greater penetrating power than Wind Release.

"Supervibrato Lightning Release Swords!"

The vibrating blades with high-frequency oscillation directly shattered the Wind Release blades Sawada had released.

However, some wind blades still got through, fortunately blocked by the chakra tentacles. Yet the tentacles bore deep cutting marks, with the Eight-Tails quickly supplying chakra to Killer Bee for healing.

Having failed to deliver a decisive blow, Sawada utilized Sage Mode's all-attribute enhancement, continuously using Body Flicker jutsu and ninjutsu fused with Sage Mode to attack Killer Bee.

"Sage Art: Fire Release: Great Fireball jutsu!"

The nearly blazing Great Fireball roared toward Killer Bee.

The scorching heat made Killer Bee realize he couldn't easily touch this technique, so he immediately activated partial Tailed Beast transformation to counter Sawada's ninjutsu.

However, just as he dispersed it, the next moment, a Water Release ninjutsu attacked.

"How many jutsu does this fool know?! Yo, that's crazy, you fool, you bastard!"

Seeing the succession of different ninjutsu, Killer Bee couldn't help but cry out helplessly.

"Bee! Don't get distracted!"

The Eight-Tails was well aware that Sawada was using various ninjutsu to disrupt Killer Bee's mental state. If Killer Bee lost his composure, it would mean the perfect opportunity had arrived.

Sawada, who was continuously releasing ninjutsu around them, also frowned. Killer Bee was unexpectedly difficult to deal with.

On the mountainside, it was now eerily quiet.

"Hehe—Hokage, you really took on a good disciple—!"

After a long while, Onoki sat in his seat and said very calmly. But his heart had already been completely shaken.

Just as he had always worried, Konoha had indeed produced another brilliant genius. Moreover, whether it was Sage Mode or five-element ninjutsu, he seemed to use them all with ease.

This was simply the reincarnation of young Hiruzen Sarutobi! No—even more terrifying than Hiruzen Sarutobi.

After all, that form was already different. Although Onoki had only heard about it, he clearly knew this was Sage Mode! After Jiraiya, Konoha had another genius who mastered Sage Mode!

Even Minato Namikaze at the time hadn't had time to cultivate it.

He now urgently wanted to make a move. If he used Dust Release, even with just a slim chance, he might be able to hit him! This soon-to-be-famous genius of the ninja world would disappear just like that!

But what if? Once Sawada wasn't killed, what would follow would be an enraged Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Onoki wasn't afraid of war with Konoha, but if they went to war without killing Sawada, it would be completely meaningless for Onoki and Iwagakure.

Hiruzen slowly stood up. Among those present, not one was clean. How could Hiruzen, who had fought countless battles, not sense the thick killing intent emanating from Onoki?

Hiruzen slowly walked toward Onoki, with Kakashi and Shisui following behind him with grave expressions.

The Fourth Raikage waved his hand, signaling Samui and others not to move. No matter how much he despised Hiruzen on the surface, the title "Professor of Ninja" wasn't easily earned. It was forged on the battlefield.

Now Hiruzen was just walking toward Onoki—he had no reason to interfere. Moreover, he was more concerned with the person currently conflicting with his sworn brother, Killer Bee.

Konoha—Sawada!

Seeing Hiruzen approach, Onoki glanced sideways. Kitsuchi, standing behind Onoki, stepped forward and directly blocked Hiruzen's path.

Although the Hiruzen before him wasn't even half his height, the aura he emanated made Kitsuchi secretly tense.

Rasa on the side chuckled lightly, watching the good show unfold.

"Onoki, though this old man is already advanced in years—but if anyone dares lay a hand on my disciple, this old man will risk his life—and drag that person down with him! Into eternal damnation!"

Hiruzen's tone was extremely stern, his aura directly covering the entire viewing area.

Kakashi, standing beside Hiruzen and guarding against Kitsuchi, couldn't help but glance sideways. He had almost never seen Hiruzen like this.

No, it should be said it had been so long since he'd seen him this way that Kakashi had almost forgotten.

Onoki's expression darkened as he stared directly at Hiruzen, remaining silent for a long time.

"Hehe, well said, quite imposing indeed—"

After a long silence, Onoki sneered at Hiruzen, but the next moment, one sentence from Hiruzen made everyone present change color.

"You can try—if my disciple shows any signs of trouble, my armies will sweep through the Land of Grass and Land of Waterfalls—and flatten your Iwagakure!"

"Hiruzen Sarutobi!" Onoki immediately erupted in fury, roaring at Hiruzen.

Even the usually gentle Kitsuchi now showed a serious expression. Who wouldn't feel uneasy receiving such threats? Especially at a time like this—if a great war erupted, catching Iwagakure off guard, it would truly mean the village's destruction!

Even the Fourth Raikage and Rasa couldn't help but stare at Hiruzen. Who would have thought that the Hiruzen before them would say such words?

Rasa breathed a slight sigh of relief as he touched the armrest of his stone chair. Fortunately, before leaving the village, he had already entrusted everything to the two elders, so even if war really broke out, Sunagakure wouldn't be too passive.

The Fourth Raikage signaled to Samui, who nodded and was about to turn and leave.

"No need to go. There are still Konoha troops stationed at Moon Wheel Valley. I came this time just to see what good show Kumogakure wanted to put on for me."

Hiruzen said calmly.

Kakashi and Shisui beside him showed no surprise, as they had known this all along. Having just captured someone's Jinchuriki as leverage, they naturally couldn't come so openly.

Moreover, commanding at Moon Wheel Valley were Asuma Sarutobi and Shikaku. They could eliminate almost all hidden dangers. Jiraiya, guarding Konoha, was already prepared; once the front-line battle began, Konoha's war machine would fully activate, sweeping toward all ninja villages.

After all, Konoha seemed to have always been passively accepting attacks from various nations in turn—they really had never taken the initiative.
