I, a cultivator, ended up in the Naruto world.

Ao, sitting in the audience, was already writing her will for Hozuki Mangetsu.

Sometimes he really didn't have much in common with his rough-and-tumble teammates in the village.

Who gave you the courage?

As one of the few sensory ninjas in Kirigakure, he was born with a keen sense of danger.

Just by standing there, Yang Xiang's entire body was already flashing red warning lights.

Turning his gaze back to the stage, Yang Xiang almost burst out laughing when he saw Hozuki Mangetsu's determined look.

Since his debut, he has actually encountered the most ninjas from the Mist Village.

It's no wonder they're called the Village of Blood Mist; they're unruly, of low quality, and quick to run away when things look bad, surrendering when they can't win—they're incredibly agile.

"You...have you seen me at my peak?"

Hearing Yang Xiang's words, Hozuki Mangetsu was stunned. Wasn't he already fighting Rasa and the Uchiha just now?

"Since you put it that way, please let me see it."

Qing's pupils contracted sharply in the audience, and he suddenly felt a pang of heart palpitation.

"Full moon, watch out!"

Hozuki Mangetsu turned around and gestured to him, then grinned, revealing his sharp fangs: "Don't worry, we'll win!"

···

The gaze on the wall gradually locked onto the arena.

"A troublesome and dangerous person has appeared."

He spent a day in Konoha, gradually narrowing down the scope of his investigation, and finally pinpointed a young man from the Senju clan named Yang Xiang.

He dared not approach, but merely observed from afar, his sixth sense telling him of danger, deadly danger.

He has rarely encountered such situations since he was born.

A consciousness entity like his, which incorporates Yin Release, has virtually no natural enemies in the ninja world.

Even some of the ninjutsu that used to affect the soul didn't feel this strong to him.

On the day he found Yang Xiang, he felt a moment of disorientation simply because he got a little closer.

He had a premonition that if he got any closer, he would be sucked away, kneaded, and then filled with something unknown, and would no longer belong solely to his mother.

This is strange; this boy must have mastered some extremely evil magic.

He could only watch from afar, hoping to gather as much information about Yang Xiang as possible before returning.

"Super Strength Fist, Wood Release, Sage Chakra"

Everyone felt it; the earth shook.

The Iwa ninja below the stage were the most composed, only surprised that the Land of Fire would experience an earthquake.

Then they realized something was wrong; it wasn't an earthquake, but rather the venue itself was trembling.

Everyone's heartbeats began to synchronize with the vibrations, rumbling loudly, and gravel and sand floated slightly.

Onoki suddenly stood up, his eyes fixed on the ring.

His envy of Konoha was palpable.

"Such momentum is truly remarkable. He is the strongest taijutsu ninja I have ever seen."

Konoha is truly blessed!

Hiruzen Sarutobi sat in his seat, feigning composure, though his legs were actually a little numb.

At this moment, the ominous premonitions of the past few days finally came true.

Yang Xiang's strength is likely to surpass his.

If he was thinking about how to win before, he might have to think about how to survive from now on.

They've grown up so fast!

It feels like I've taken hormones.

Spiritual power plus chakra, divine sense plus mental strength.

It's like stepping on your right foot with your left and spiraling upwards.

Under this mutually influential mechanism, Yang Xiang was like someone who had drawn a Hextech coin that could transform matter into law and law into matter, and began an infinite loop.

The idea that you can become stronger even while lying down is not just empty talk.

His stats had already surpassed the Qi Refining stage, and the bottleneck at Foundation Establishment was as fragile as Okamoto 001; he had to exert great effort to avoid breaking through on the spot.

To die!

Hozuki Mangetsu felt a large "danger" character appear above his head.

The first time he saw burning chakra, it stung his eyes painfully.

Yang Xiang simply stretched out a hand and reached out to grab him.

There's no escaping it!

But if you take the hit, you'll die!

Hozuki Mangetsu didn't even dare to use the Water Transformation Technique.

He had a premonition that if he used it, he might simply disappear without a trace.

Literally, it means evaporation.

"what!"

Hozuki Mangetsu let out a loud shout, startling everyone watching from below the stage.

He did a small jump and then smoothly knelt down in mid-air.

"I lost!"

The tremors subsided slightly, and Yang Xiang's forward-pushing palm stopped above Hozuki Mangetsu's head.

Are you satisfied with my peak performance?

Hozuki Mangetsu lowered his head and said with extreme humility:

"I am very sorry that I could not satisfy Lord Yang Xiang."

A Konoha ninja definitely couldn't do this pose.

But the Kirigakure is different; the island nation has its own unique circumstances.

From a young age, they were taught that living is more important than dignity.

Cunning and treacherous are their rules of survival.

For a moment, there was complete silence on and off the stage.

If some people still couldn't see Yang Xiang's power in the first two games.

Now even a fool knows what kind of person Yang Xiang is.

In two words, invincible.

Is there any point in taking the Chunin Exams then?

Konoha, you should have said so earlier if you had such a person.

If you had said so earlier, our village could have just sent someone to register, wouldn't that have been enough?

Many ninjas from the five great nations couldn't help but turn their gazes toward the Kage of their own village.

How so?

Should we continue?

Yuuto Uzumaki clapped his hands excitedly: "Brother Yang Xiang's move was so cool! If I got hit by that, it would probably send me flying!"

Uzumaki Flame, standing to the side, glanced at his friend with disdain.

"You can't do that. I can take at least ten hits. Except for the first one, I won't utter a sound after the next nine."

"Konoha, Yang Xiangsheng!"

As the referee announced the result, Hozuki Mangetsu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Before he knew it, he was drenched in sweat, soaking the ring floor. He was already dehydrated again after just replenishing his fluids.

"Brother Yagura! So you wanted me to play defense!"

It wasn't until this moment that he realized what Yagura had said before they left.

So these two had met before?

No wonder Yagura was seriously injured and had to escape from his previous two missions.

I even mocked him privately back then.

Now it seems he's much stronger than me.

If it were me, and I encountered Yang Xiang in the wild, I would have almost no chance of survival.

Yang Xiang looked up at the podium and his eyes met those of the third generation leader.

He smiled and nodded at the other person, who returned the smile, creating a peaceful scene.

See? This is my strength. Think twice before you do anything.

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and looked around at the people around him, accepting Yang Xiang's offer.

See that? This is the strength of Konoha. Think twice before you do anything.

Ignoring the unpleasant expressions on the faces of the other figures, Yang Xiang stepped off the stage, greeted a few acquaintances, and left.

Was the final all-out burst of energy just due to Hozuki Mangetsu's provocation?

of course not.

It was something he had already considered.

If it's just for winning the Chunin Exams and becoming a Chunin.

He didn't need to come at all.

World War II was about to begin, and there were plenty of opportunities for promotions.

But he couldn't wait until World War II; once the war started, people would die.

He needs to demonstrate his strength in advance to create opportunities for his people.
