Chapter 270

"Otsutsuki Indra!"

484. This is the power of Bleach!

In Gaara's location, a giant Shukaku made of sand replaced Gaara, its enormous size exuding an oppressive aura, and opposite it, another large target appeared.

A gigantic purple humanoid figure emerged from the void behind Sasuke. First, its hands appeared, then its head, and finally its entire upper body. The upper body appeared to be over ten meters tall, completely enveloping Sasuke surrounding him from all angles.

Shukaku of the Sand is against Susanoo, or rather, against Sasuke's Bankai!

In the world of Bleach, Sasuke spent three days learning Bankai. In return, Li Yue told Kisuke Urahara about Aizen, including Aizen's current abilities and everything he had done in Soul Society. Did the exposure of this information affect Aizen? Not at all. Even if someone knew about Aizen, it wouldn't matter. Aizen's power was now at the top of the Bleach world, truly invincible. In this world of Reishi particles, as the King of Reishi, he could not be defeated by the locals.

Having given up Aizen's information, Sasuke successfully learned Bankai in the underground space beneath Urahara's shop using the Divine Transformation technique. Now, facing a behemoth like Shukaku, he decisively activated Bankai.

Just kidding. If I, TenTen, don't show off my new powers after I've gained them, am I still TenTen?

So, when Sasuke saw Shukaku, he immediately activated his Bankai with great joy. This was a rare opportunity to show off in front of outsiders.

The purple Susanoo clad in armor, with its arms outstretched, one hand holding a purple longsword, and a longbow strapped to its back. Because it only has half a body, Susanoo does not have legs or wings.

Even so, it was still quite shocking for everyone present.

"That... is Susanoo?"

The Third Tsuchikage recognized the Susanoo the moment he saw it. Even though Sasuke was shouting "Bankai, "Onoki recognized it instantly. This was the Susanoo that Uchiha Madara had used. His fear of Madara immediately kicked in.

Decades ago, Uchiha Madara flew a Gundam to Iwagakure. Now Sasuke can fly a Gundam too. It's terrible!

No, we must do everything in our power to please Li Yue, the Otsutsuki Butler, and find a way to make the people of Iwagakure become the wives of the Otsutsuki family!

Most people were as shocked as the Third Tsuchikage, but the vast majority did not recognize the technique. After all, the last person to use Susanoo was Uchiha Madara. After Uchiha Madara, no one Susanoo in public. Although Uchiha Itachi could also use it, unfortunately, he never used it in public, and very few people knew about his Susanoo.

For example, the Fourth Kazekage.

"Susanoo?"

As the village chief of the new era, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa had never clashed with the Uchiha. Although he was called the Kazekage, his combat strength was actually quite low. Among all the village chiefs, he was at the bottom. He also didn't have as much experience as the other village chiefs, especially when facing the Third Hokage and the Third Tsuchikage. These two old men had seen far too much, and Rasa really couldn't put on airs in front of them.

Originally, he watched his son Gaara go berserk, and the reason that the Nine- Jinchuriki was also participating in the competition left the Third Hokage speechless. But now, seeing Sasuke on the ground suddenly release a huge thing, he was a little confused. What was this?

Therefore, upon hearing the Third Tsuchikage mention Susanoo, he immediately expressed his curiosity, and the Third Tsuchikage didn't hide anything, sharing his inner shadow.

"That's right, it's a technique unique to the Uchiha clan. The last person to use this technique was Uchiha Madara."

The Third Tsuchikage's expression was solemn. Susanoo brought him and the entire Iwagakure village a great psychological shadow, and he simply couldn't speak with a smile.

"I was wondering why you weren't worried, Third Hokage. It turns out that Uchiha Sasuke has already mastered this technique, so there's really no need to worry about the Tailed Beast."

"Is that a technique that can target Tailed Beast?"

As the Kazekage, Rasa naturally knew that the Uchiha clan had control over the Tailed Beast. After all, when Uchiha Madara attacked Konoha with the Nine-Tails, the entire ninja world knew about it. However, he didn't really know how the Uchiha controlled the Tailed Beast. Now, when he heard the Third Tsuchikage say this, he immediately thought that this was the reason why the Uchiha controlled the Tailed Beast.

"You should ask the Third Hokage. As the Hokage, he knows the most about this."

The Third Tsuchikage didn't answer, but instead passed the question to the Third Hokage. The Kazekage looked at the Third Hokage, but the Third Hokage didn't explain, only shaking his head with a smile.

"Village chiefs, you'll find out what's going on as we keep watching."

Previously, the Third Hokage was wondering if Li Yue would intervene if Shukaku went berserk, but now it's all good; Li Yue doesn't even need to lift a finger, Sasuke can take care of it himself.

As the village chief of Konoha, he might not know much about other things, but no one in the Uchiha clan knows the Uchiha better than the Leaf Village. Why? Because the Konoha chief has never stopped researching and gathering intelligence on the Uchiha order to target them!

Meanwhile, in the audience, two members of the Akatsuki Organization...

"Mr. Itachi, that eye technique you used should be the same thing, right?"

Kisame Hoshigaki was the one who knew that Uchiha Itachi could use Susanoo. As Uchiha Itachi's teammate, he was quite familiar with Uchiha Itachi's abilities, but he didn't know the specifics. He was just a little surprised when he saw Sasuke use Susanoo.

"Ah, that's a special eye technique that the Uchiha clan can only use after obtaining those eyes."

Uchiha Itachi looked calmly at Sasuke below, but the slight upturn of his lips betrayed his true feelings.

Sasuke, you've grown to this level? It seems that the butler wasn't a fake after all.

Most importantly, Sasuke used Susanoo not through his eyes, but through the sword in his hand.

From the very beginning, Sasuke's eyes did not transform into Sharingan. Instead, it was the shape of the sword in his hand that changed. First, the blade turned red, then the Tsuba handguard) transformed into Sharingan, and even directly into Three Tomoe. Just now, after Sasuke shouted Bankai, the Three Tomoe on the Tsuba transformed into the shape of Mangekyo.

In other words, the power of the Sharingan was completely transferred to that sword. This means that the price of the Sharingan was also transferred to that sword. Sasuke no longer has the risk of losing his sight, which is a good thing for Sasuke.

But for Uchiha Itachi, this was also a bad thing.

The reason Uchiha Itachi lived so bravely was to wait for Uchiha Sasuke to grow up and possess the same Mangekyo Sharingan him, and then die at Sasuke's hands so that he could give his eyes to Sasuke, allowing Sasuke's Mangekyo Sharingan to upgrade to the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, thus eliminating the risk of blindness.

The problem is that Sasuke's power has now become a weapon, and he no longer needs to upgrade his Sharingan. Under these circumstances, Uchiha Itachi Mangekyo has become completely useless to Sasuke.

Not only that, Sasuke's growth means that the butler Li Yue is real, and everything Li Yue said is true. This makes everything that Uchiha Itachi did before, including the annihilation of the entire Uchiha clan, completely useless. It was just him killing for no reason and indulging in his so-called ideals.

This was an absolute blow to Uchiha Itachi, the greatest mockery of him and his entire life!

Therefore, when Uchiha Itachi looked at Sasuke, he felt both happy and pained.

However, the mistakes of the past cannot be undone. All he can do now is watch Sasuke grow up and eventually die at Sasuke's hands as a sinner.

With this in mind, Uchiha Itachi focused all his attention on the arena below, wanting to see just how much Sasuke had mastered his power.

Inside the arena, Shukaku, who had arrogantly come out wanting to kill Sasuke, was completely dumbfounded when he saw the upper Susanoo.

He hated the Uchiha, but he also understood Uchiha 'Indra descendants very well, so he understood what it meant for an Uchiha to release Susanoo.

That means this Uchiha has the Mangekyo Sharingan, and the Mangekyo Sharingan is the greatest nemesis of Tailed Beast besides the First Hokage's Wood Style!

"Asshole!"

Therefore, Shukaku launched an attack immediately, aiming to kill his opponent before he could use the power of his Mangekyo Sharingan to control him!

With a slap of its massive hand, a Chakra vortex burst forth from Shukaku's mouth, shooting towards Sasuke. Due to the extremely close proximity, Sasuke's Susanoo had no time to react and was caught Shukaku's sneak attack.

The massive gust of wind slammed into Susanoo and exploded, creating a cloud of smoke and dust.

But with so much smoke and dust, you definitely won't get hurt.

Even as the smoke was still thick, a purple light burst forth from the dust, and a giant purple sword cleaved through the smoke, striking Shukaku's shoulder and severing his arm cleanly at the root.

"Ouch!!! It hurts so much! It hurts so much!!!"

Shukaku cried out in pain. He could use a stealth attack on Sasuke from a distance, and Sasuke could also attack Shukaku directly at close range. It could be said that in this circular arena, no one could create distance between them!

"Snort!"

With that slash, the smoke and dust dissipated, and the unharmed Susanoo appeared before everyone. Shukaku's Desert Needle hadn't Susanoo.

In terms of power, Shukaku's Wind Release is quite powerful; a single blast is almost equivalent to the explosion of an aerial bomb. However, unfortunately, such power cannot shake Sasuke's Susanoo, which is already clad in armor. Keep in mind that Gama Bunta was hit by Shukaku's Desert Needle, he only cried out in pain and suffered minor injuries. It couldn't even seriously injure Shukaku. Naturally, such an attack cannot break through the armored Susanoo.

The Susanoo's counterattack is different. If it were an ordinary Susanoo, even if it cut off Shukaku's arm, he wouldn't scream like that. This is because Shukaku's body is special. His body is composed of sand and Chakra. Even if a part of his body is cut off, it will turn into sand and scatter. And it is very simple to recover. He can simply make the sand gather again and become part of his body under the control of Shukaku's Chakra.

However, this time, Shukaku's arm could not be restored because his severed arm did not simply turn into sand; instead, a portion of his Chakra was directly shattered.

Because the Susanoo that Sasuke unleashed was not a jutsu of his Mangekyo Sharingan, but rather the Bankai of his own Zanpakuto. Since Zanpakuto attacks are all aimed at the soul, Susanoo's attacks are also aimed at the soul.

As Chakra beings, the Tailed Beast 'Chakra represents their souls. This strike directly severed a portion of Shukaku's Chakra, just like the Nine-Tails rampage in Leaf Village more than a decade ago. Back then, Hashirama Senju the Nine-Tails in two, sealing one half inside Naruto Uzumaki and the other half inside herself.

Now, Sasuke has also severed Shukaku's Chakra, causing Shukaku great pain.

"Asshole!"

Shukaku clutched the severed part of his arm, which could not be restored to its original state, which made him extremely Wrath. In his Wrath, Shukaku repeatedly struck his own body with his palm and began to fire Desert Needle at Susanoo.

"Although this kind of attack is just a tickle to me, I haven't allowed you to keep attacking me like this!"

Sasuke gripped Indra and slashed down at Shukaku. The Susanoo outside immediately synchronized with Sasuke's movement, swinging its massive blade and slashing down at Shukaku as well.

The flying Desert Needle was instantly cleaved in mid-air by the massive blade, and then the purple blade struck Shukaku, severing Shukaku in half at the waist.

"Ah!!!!"

The severed Shukaku immediately let out a scream.

"Shut up!"

Sasuke held Indra upright against Shukaku, Mangekyo Sharingan on the Tsuba immediately turned, transforming Shukaku's eyes into Mangekyo Sharingan, and its massive body instantly stopped moving.

"Go back!"

Under Sasuke's command, Shukaku's body began to shrink rapidly, and its severed parts scattered into a pile of sand. Finally, Shukaku's body shrunk to human form, Gaara reappeared before everyone.

This battle between the Tailed Beast and their Bankai ended with the Bankai easily winning.

"Snort!"

Looking at Gaara, who was still unconscious, Sasuke released his Bankai and snorted coldly.

"This is the power of Bleach!"

485. The Otsutsuki chief begins his marriage search.

Sasuke's performance drew cheers from the crowd; this match was definitely worth watching!

For ordinary people and even nobles, they don't understand Tailed Beast or Susanoo. Even the people of Konoha, although they experienced the Nine-Tails' rampage, don't know what the Nine-Tails is. They just think it's some kind of monster. So, in their eyes, Shukaku is probably just some kind of Ninjutsu. Anyway, they don't understand what ninjas do.

Therefore, in their eyes, it was nothing more than the ninjas displaying their dazzling Ninjutsu, only to be defeated by another ninja using an even more powerful and dazzling Ninjutsu.

Sasuke's match has temporarily ended, but the Chunin Exam are still ongoing.

The rest of the match was quite normal. There were no suddenly appearing behemoths, no crazy attacks that threatened to kill you or make your blood red. The whole process was very uneventful.

The most important point is that Naruto and Sasuke faced off in the second round. Naruto, who could use the Nine-Tails 'Chakra to some extent and had learned the Summoning Jutsu, was going up against Sasuke, who had learned Bankai. Although Naruto had been given Bankai by Jiraiya, he still lost the match against Sasuke, who could now use Bankai.

There's no way around it, Naruto is indeed overpowered, but Sasuke has an even bigger cheat code behind him. And this is a competition, not Naruto can turn against with a few words. Even the protagonist of Destiny can't fight against Sasuke's cheat code.

Thus, the Chunin Exam ended with Sasuke emerging victorious.

The third Chunin Exam have ended, and six people have qualified for promotion to Chunin: Sasuke, Naruto, Shikamaru, Temari, Gaara, who has become Shino.

Compared to the previous Chunin Exam being interrupted due to the Konoha Crush Plan, resulting in only Shikamaru being promoted to Chunin based on his outstanding performance, this time there are many more Chunin promoted. Temari from Sunagakure also became a Chunin based on her performance alongside Shikamaru. As for Shino, he also became a Chunin based on his incredibly calm performance with the insects. Naruto and Gaara go without saying; one can use the Nine-Tails' power and has mastered the Summoning Jutsu of Mount Myōboku, while the other can release the One-Tail. If these two can't become Chunin, then it's really difficult for the others to become Chunin.

As for Sasuke, as the final winner of this Chunin Exam, he was directly promoted to Chunin.

In fact, in the eyes of the four village chiefs present, Sasuke was no longer a Chunin, but a Jonin. However, being a Jonin requires sufficient combat experience, and Sasuke was obviously too young at the moment. It was not a time of war, so he had no combat experience at all. Under such circumstances, the lack of combat experience was unavoidable. Therefore, Sasuke's strength at the moment was definitely that of a Jonin, especially with the existence of the Mangekyo Sharingan. Although it was the Mangekyo Sharingan on the hilt of his Tsuba, it was still Mangekyo.

In the Uchiha clan, once you awaken the Three Tomoe, you become a Jonin. After awakening the Mangekyo, you can directly reach the level of a Kage. However, considering Sasuke's current lack of combat experience, he can only hold the title of Chunin for now. Once he has gained more combat experience in a few years, he can directly become a Jonin without having to serve Special Jonin.

As for whether he can become the village chief of Konoha, that depends on the situation at that time.

If Sasuke wants to become the village chief, and his butler Li Yue helps him, then Sasuke will definitely be able to become the chief, because Li Yue's existence makes him impossible for the entire Konoha to ignore.

If in the past Konoha could be said to belong to the Uchiha Konoha, as the Uchiha would never be willing to leave Konoha and would even want to become the village chief, then now it can almost be said that Konoha belongs to the Uchiha Konoha, because Li Yue alone is greater than Konoha. With Li Yue as their backer, if Sasuke wants to become the village chief but fails, he can leave Konoha in anger and go to other villages. You can see if other villages want him or not.

Sasuke could even build his own village. He was able to establish Konoha with the help of the First Hokage, and now, with Li Yue's backing, Sasuke could build a new village on his own.

However, rather than whether Sasuke will become the village chief, leave Konoha to join another village, or establish his own new village, what everyone is more concerned about now is who Sasuke, the new head of the Otsutsuki clan, will choose as his wife. This is the real purpose of the other villages participating in this Chunin Exam.

The Hokage Building, also known as the Village Chief's Office Building, has a huge conference room on the second floor where the village chiefs of the four villages are gathered for a meeting.

Of course, besides the four village chiefs, there were two other people at the meeting: Sasuke and Li Yue. Sasuke sat at the table, while Li Yue stood behind him, still acting as a butler. However, the four village chiefs opposite Sasuke all focused their attention on him, not on Sasuke. After all, who could Otsutsuki clan the wife of the Otsutsuki clan was not decided by Sasuke, the clan chief, but by Li Yue, the butler.

Although such rules are somewhat contrary to the rules of the ninja world, the steward is strong enough, and the strong decide everything. This is the rule of the Ninja World, of course, it only applies to the Ninja World.

"Butler, regarding the marriage proposal for Sasuke..."

"Please address him as Sasuke, the clan leader and Leaf Village. Although he is useless and incompetent, he is the clan leader of the Otsutsuki clan."

"Uh, sorry, I forgot again that Sasuke is the clan leader. I'm very sorry."

As the host, Leaf Village Hiruzen Sarutobi first, only to be sternly corrected by Li Yue regarding his form of address. The other three village chiefs beside him also had subtle expressions. Being rebuked by someone and not daring to refute them at all, the Third Hokage must have it tough. However, the thought that the three of them didn't dare to speak loudly in front of this steward made them feel a little sad.

"Regarding Sasuke's marriage proposal, when do you think would be a suitable time?"

To be honest, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't want to bring this up at this time, because it meant that the other three villages could also get involved. But there was no way around it. Li Yue had already announced the marriage proposal in public, and merchants and spies from various countries had already relayed the news back to their respective countries. Under these circumstances, it was too difficult to avoid other people's attention.

Especially for this Chunin Exam, Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't even considered inviting these countries, only inviting the Sand Village, which was an ally. As for the Iwa and Kumo villages, they came on their own! But since they came on their own, it wasn't easy to refuse, especially since their village chiefs had personally led their teams. So now he had to bring up this issue, because Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that if he didn't raise this question, these village chiefs would definitely not leave.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi asked the question, everyone's eyes were on Li Yue, waiting for Li Yue answer. Sasuke was also waiting for an answer; he was also eager to know when Li Yue would start looking for a husband for him so he could figure out how to deal with it. He was joking, though; he had no intention of participating in this matchmaking event.

"Looking for a spouse? I've been observing for a while now."

"Ah?"

Sasuke looked at Li Yue with a surprised expression.

"When?"

"It had already begun when I first entered Konoha."

Li Yue didn't even look at Sasuke before speaking.
