Konoha Fortress!

Upon seeing the two mysterious figures appear, Shinki finally understood the reason for his unease over the past two days.

"They're from the same clan as Kaguya, aren't they?"

Shinki guessed.

The two men were of different heights and builds, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin. Both had white Byakugan, wore white robes, and had horns on their foreheads.

Furthermore, their paper-white skin clearly indicates a connection to Kaguya!

The two who suddenly descended upon the Chunin Exams were incredibly arrogant, like gods untouched by worldly affairs, their eyes filled with contempt and nonchalance!

The two men scanned everyone in the room, as if searching for something, but after looking around, they couldn't find what they were looking for.

The thinner person in white robes, wearing a veil, frowned slightly. "If I can sense the Chakra of Tailed Beast, it should be nearby."

"Hey, hand over the Tailed Beasts here!"

The man in white robes shouted, his words as precious as gold, as if uttering even a single word to these inferior beings would lower his status...

Upon hearing the request from the Ōtsutsuki, Shinki thought to himself, "Just as I expected."

They really came for the Tailed Beast Chakra!

After thinking about this, Shinki's expression changed again! (≖╻≖;)

This explains Killer B Bee's disappearance!

They kidnapped Killer B in search of the Eight-Tails!

Not far from the Shinki, the Raikage had clearly also realized the problem, roaring as he questioned the Ōtsutsuki in the sky, "So it was you who took Bee away?! (ꐦ°᷄д°᷅)"

Faced with the question from the inferior race, the veiled man did not answer, but simply shouted again, "Hand over the Tailed Beast!"

On the ground, the Shinki inquired, "You are Kaguya's people, aren't you?"

The veiled man scoffed, "Someone like Kaguya dares to compare herself to me?"

"I am Momoshiki Otsutsuki. I have come here to complete the mission that Kaguya failed to finish!"

After Momoshiki Otsutsuki finished speaking, the burly man beside him continued, "I am Momoshiki- sama's guardian, Kinshiki Otsutsuki."

Shinki nodded. "I see..."

Raikage on one side: ꐦ≖ ≖

Instead of answering his question, they answered Shinki's question!

These two are doing this on purpose!

Enraged, the Raikage unleashed a torrent of lightning from his body and roared, "Give me the damn thing!!"

"Bang!!"

Raikage bent his knees and leaped, his foot shattering the platform beneath him, transforming into a Momoshiki Otsutsuki in the sky!

In mid-air, Momoshiki Otsutsuki remained unfazed and motionless. "There are always ants who don't know what's good for them."

The next moment, a blood-red axe made of Kinshiki Otsutsuki Chakra's hand, blocking his way!

"Bang!!"

The Raikage, relying on his powerful physique, clashed with Kinshiki Otsutsuki's red-glowing axe!

Clang clang--!

In the blink of an eye, the two clashed dozens more times!

The Raikage was already panting heavily!

On the other hand, Kinshiki Otsutsuki on the opposite side was completely unfazed, without batting an eye!

"Kaguya's clan is indeed powerful..."

Knowing he was no match for the Ōtsutsuki, the Raikage looked down at the Shinki, intending to seek help!

Just then, Momoshiki Otsutsuki was not far away, suddenly moved, appearing beside the Raikage like a ghost, and placed his right hand on the Raikage's chest!

"Bang!!"

Under immense force, the Raikage plummeted from the sky, and at the same time, the lightning Chakra enveloping his entire body vanished!

Shinki keenly sensed this and his eyes showed a thoughtful expression!

The next moment!

"Boom!!"

The Raikage landed, smashing a huge, human-shaped crater into the fighting arena right in the center of the exam hall!

Soon, Raikage's voice echoed from the crater, "Shinki, what the hell do you mean? Just watching the show, huh?!"

On the high platform, Shinki looked speechless. "You don't even know what the enemy's abilities are, yet you're charging in so fast..."

"You bought this shadow, didn't you?"

Raikage: "..."

"You..."

He charged forward with such confidence because he had Shinki as a teammate.

I never expected Shinki to not consider him a teammate at all! (*꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ)

Shinki: "Alright, you're so strong, a fall won't hurt you. I'll avenge you!"

After shouting, Shinki pulled out a Walkie-Talkie with his right hand and said into Walkie-Talkie, "Ready? If you're ready, fire!"

An electronic voice came through the Walkie-Talkie: "Okay!"

The next moment!

"Whoosh--!"

Dozens of Chakra beams illuminated the entire sky!

All of these Chakra beams landed on Momoshiki Otsutsuki and Kinshiki Otsutsuki in mid-air!

In the audience, everyone was in an uproar!

"My eyes! My eyes are about to be blinded by the light!! (꒪⌓꒪)"

"This is so bright! It feels like the sun has been brought right in front of us!"

"Why are you all focused on how bright these beams of light are? We should be paying more attention to what's emitting them!"

"These are Chakra Cannons! Konoha has deployed dozens of Chakra Cannons throughout the village!! Σ( ° △ °|||)"

"I vaguely remember that Cloud Ninja Village mobilized the entire village's resources to build just one cannon..."

"Konoha shouldn't be called a village, it should be called a fortress!"

From the stands, Shikamaru watched the beams of Chakra shooting through the sky, then leaned close to Shinki and asked, "When did you set all this up?"

Shinki laughed, "I started building these Chakra Cannons after I became Hokage, but today is the first time we're using them..."

Shikamaru: "I'm asking when you sent people to fire the cannons..."

Shinki: "Yesterday, I asked Naruto to have a few trustworthy people keep watch over him..."

"Better safe than sorry, I never thought I'd actually need it now. (▿)"

Shikamaru: "Did you consider that these Chakra Cannons are extremely powerful when you set them up? If they explode in mid-air, they might raze the entire village to the ground...꒦ິ^꒦ິ"

Shinki replied matter-of-factly, "Of course I thought of that. The Barrier Team is already on standby. Chakra Cannon fires, they'll immediately create a barrier that can cover the entire Konoha. ( ˝ᗢ̈˝ )"

Sure enough, right after Shinki finished speaking, a blue barrier covered the Chunin Ninja Exams venue!

Above the barrier!

"Boom--!"

The Chakra Cannon struck Momoshiki Otsutsuki and Kinshiki of the Otsutsuki clan, causing a violent explosion that even shook the barrier, but thankfully it didn't shatter!

In the audience seats of the examination hall, people were talking animatedly.

"I would call it the greatest fireworks display of the century!"

"Such a magnificent explosion... This glorious era is just as Deidara wished! (⊙o⊙)"

"So many Chakra Cannons, and an iron fortress not far from the village... No wonder the Sixth Hokage said Konoha was safe when he sent people to decipher Kaguya's Scroll..."

"Wait, have you noticed the explosion is getting smaller...? I think I saw those two people enveloped in the beam of light..."

Now that you mention it, it does seem to be true!
