Naruto: The Teaching System - 218

Chapter 218: Sawada is a Beast

Whoosh—

The valley immediately erupted in cheers. This duel was truly spectacular, causing everyone present to hold their breath in silence. They were afraid of missing any moment.

But as the duel ended, the audience erupted in enthusiastic cheers. Kitsuchi's excellent performance and unwavering Earth Release earned recognition from Hidden Cloud Village villagers for both fighters.

Walking to the mountainside, Sawada looked down while glancing at the Kazekage. This guy was really patient enough.

However, if Kitsuchi hadn't shown restraint, Baki might have really lost his life here. Moreover, Rasa had thought of using such vicious methods at the last moment.

Couldn't you see that Onoki's entire expression was ugly now? He just glanced at Rasa once and said nothing more.

If Kitsuchi himself hadn't planned to spare Baki, perhaps Rasa would now use this matter to confront Onoki?

Among the people on the mountainside, who was a fool?

Onoki and the Fourth Raikage looked at Rasa with contempt, while their Kage guard squads had grave expressions. After all, an enemy village's Kage with such vicious thoughts wasn't good news for them.

Although such operations weren't strange, using them here was somewhat shameless.

On the other hand, Hiruzen acted as if he hadn't noticed, still maintaining his smiling expression. However, from Sawada's understanding of his sensei, Rasa had probably been recorded in Hiruzen's mental notebook.

Although alliances were just contracts, Hiruzen didn't want his partner to be a villain without bottom lines.

Rasa sat in the stone chair with a grim expression, frustrated. As the Tsuchikage's son, Kitsuchi was actually so soft-hearted! Useless!

At the mountain base, Kitsuchi withdrew his fist, glanced at Baki collapsed on the ground, then looked up at the mountainside shrouded in thin clouds. He couldn't help but sigh and said slowly, "Someone will come to treat you later."

Baki didn't respond, just staring blankly at the Sunagakure forehead protector before him.

Seeing this, Kitsuchi stood in place, waiting for Kumogakure medical personnel to arrive. He didn't want to bear any unfounded hatred.

Only after Kumogakure medical personnel quickly ran over did Kitsuchi finally move his feet.

"Sunagakure's wind cannot blow down Iwagakure's mountain. It's just that I'm too weak..." A weak voice came from behind Kitsuchi.

Kitsuchi glanced sideways without responding, then lightly floated toward the mountainside.

After reaching the Kage viewing platform, Kitsuchi walked directly toward Onoki. Seeing his son like this, Onoki's expression finally improved. At least Sunagakure's conspiracy hadn't succeeded. It was truly disgusting.

"That was truly a magnificent battle, Tsuchikage-sama. You have a successor," Hiruzen said with a smile at this moment.

"Hokage-sama flatters me too much. It's just that sometimes when seeking allies, one still needs to keep their eyes open." Onoki didn't accept Hiruzen's praise, instead taking the opportunity to mock him.

However, Hiruzen acted as if he hadn't noticed Onoki's words, still maintaining his smiling expression.

"Hokage, next is our duel." The Fourth Raikage beside him propped his right hand on his head, looking at Hiruzen.

Hearing this, Hiruzen pointed at the towering rocks and ruined mountain base on the screen. He said slowly, "At least the field needs to be cleaned up, right?"

Fourth Raikage A sneered and said flatly, "A small matter."

Samui stood on the wall, took out another signal flare from her ninja tool pouch behind her, and fired it into the sky.

At the mountain base, a Kumogakure squad received the signal and entered orderly from the entrance. Then they used Lightning Release to clear the ground. Even Sawada was speechless. Were they using Lightning Release as a plowing tool?

In just over ten minutes, not only the ruined ground but even the rock layers Kitsuchi had just created were completely cleared.

On the screen, you could see that the mountain base, which originally had some green vegetation, had now become a barren wasteland.

"Hokage-sama, are you satisfied now?" Fourth Raikage A asked.

Hiruzen smoked his pipe and said flatly, "A guest follows the host's customs."

"Good!" Fourth Raikage A excitedly stood up and loudly announced, "Then this round will be by my brother. That is, Killer Bee, participating as a contestant!"

The Fourth Raikage's voice spread in all directions—

Whoosh—

"Killer Bee-sama!"

"The Raikage is so amazing!"

"Oh? I remember this person is your partner and sworn brother, Raikage?" Hiruzen ignored the Fourth Raikage A's voice spreading throughout the venue and asked casually.

"That's right, but Killer Bee is also a member of my Kage guard. If the Hokage doesn't believe it, I can show you the appointment report." The Fourth Raikage said to Hiruzen as if this were true.

"Heh..." Hiruzen chuckled lightly. Such tricks were truly crude.

Shisui and Kakashi, standing behind Hiruzen, both thought of stepping forward.

Both their shoulders were patted simultaneously, and they couldn't help but turn to look. They saw Sawada with a relaxed expression, saying to Kakashi and Shisui, "You two, don't steal my opponent."

Kakashi frowned, while Shisui said directly, "Sawada-sama! I already—"

Smack—

Sawada annoyedly patted Shisui's forehead. Kotoamatsukami wasn't an ordinary item. Why did he want to blurt it out as soon as he spoke?

Moreover, with a cooldown of over ten years, couldn't it be used for other purposes? When Shisui used it on Danzo last time, Sawada was already very unhappy.

"Fine, if you don't go, I'll have many reasons to go in the future." Sawada said, then patted Kakashi and Shisui's shoulders, signaling them to step back.

He turned to Hiruzen. "Sensei, shall I go up?"

"Yes, go ahead. Show Konoha's might." Hiruzen smiled and nodded. Sawada's strength was still a mystery.

After all, before leaving the village, he had already had Jiraiya fight with Sawada. Undoubtedly, Jiraiya couldn't defeat Sawada, and the move that injured the Eight-Tails, Sawada hadn't used at all.

"No problem." Sawada's lips curved into a slight smile, and then he jumped up.

When he passed by Samui, he even glanced at her.

Tsk tsk—

Sawada's entire body erupted with chakra as he fell at high speed toward the mountain base, feet first. The audience watching this scene on the screen all gasped. This was too reckless!

Rumble—

As Sawada's feet touched the ground, the entire mountain base ground instantly cracked, rocks on the ground scattering outward with Sawada at the center. Wide cracks spread like spiderwebs, and the ground just leveled by Lightning Release directly collapsed.

The cracks extended toward the mountain body. Rumble rumble—

The entire valley seemed to experience an earthquake. Not only the audience seats, but even the Raikage and others on the mountainside felt the vibration.

Caught off guard, they nearly fell directly, and the stone chairs behind them showed several fine cracks. Only the positions of Hiruzen and others remained unchanged, with Hiruzen still smilingly smoking his pipe.

Kakashi and Shisui looked anxiously at the fine cracks appearing around them.

Beast!
