When You Have Enough Chakra, You Can Do Whatever You Want

Two months later.

"There's something a hundred meters ahead. Judging by its shape, it's a summoned beast. Its summoner is twenty meters to the left."

"Understood."

"Let the flames of youth burn!"

Accompanied by a shrill scream, Genitsu and the other two, who had just gone through an intense battle, immediately found a place to stop and rest.

Over the past two months, the three of them had been growing at an astonishing pace. Every member of this team was a genius with incredible potential.

Guy could now steadily open the fourth gate of the Eight Gates. If he truly went all out, he could try opening the fifth gate, though he would be injured afterward.

Kazue still had her two-tomoe Sharingan and had grown increasingly adept at using those genjutsu eyes. It seemed that the slightly dimmed tomoe had not truly affected the power of her eyes.

As for Genitsu...

His growth rate was the most astonishing of all.

"Ah, having massive Chakra reserves really does mean you can do whatever you want..." Genitsu swallowed a horrendously awful ration pill to replenish his stamina, a faint smile appearing on his face.

Over the past two months, he had seized every moment to refine Chakra, finally putting most of the cells in his body to use.

That alone had already brought his Chakra reserves to the jonin level.

"Did Teacher Shibi run off to snipe the enemy's jonin again? He really does like operating alone..."

Guy crunched through ration pills mouthful after mouthful. With his thick nerves, he had absolutely no interest in thinking about how disgusting they tasted.

As long as Genitsu-san did not say they were bad, these things were delicious.

"This is also my first time seeing a jonin who likes acting alone this much... Having lots of bugs really does mean you can do whatever you want." Kazue smiled as well.

Who knew how many insects Shibi had secretly scattered around?

As long as Aburame Shibi wished it, those insects could turn into insect clones and join the battle at any time.

Jonin Shibi's vision covered the surrounding area. That was where his confidence came from.

"Hm? Someone else has entered the area... Be careful. This person should be very strong."

Genitsu gave them a look.

Up ahead, someone was absorbing nuclear radiation at an extremely fast rate, appearing utterly domineering and confident.

Before long, the enemy arrived and headed straight for the three of them.

"Heh, found you at last, Konoha's genius team..."

"Another Iwagakure ninja? Most of the people we've killed lately have been from your village..." Kazue sneered.

During this time, apart from briefly returning to the village to rest and allowing Genitsu to create new shadow clones to care for Granny Madara,

Shibi's team had spent most of their time traveling outside, personally experiencing and taking part in the low-intensity but exceptionally frequent war on the western front.

Their clashes with Iwagakure and Sunagakure had long ceased to be isolated incidents.

"You three, Konoha's genius team, have killed many of our comrades... I, Changshi, will personally snuff you out."

Changshi's face was grim as he attacked without hesitation.

Earth Release: Earth-Shattering Palm!

Changshi slapped the ground. In an instant, the entire earth began to rupture with a thunderous roar, enormous cracks spreading in a flash straight toward Genitsu's group.

"This guy is much stronger than an ordinary chunin. At the very least, he's a special jonin... Kill him quickly. There may be another hard battle soon."

Genitsu moved at once.

The three became streaks of afterimages and rushed forward, surrounding Changshi.

Earth Release: Earth-Shattering Needles!

Changshi thrust out his palm, and countless earth needles suddenly shot toward them in a dense barrage. Without a way to deal with them, one careless move would get them killed.

Genitsu directly unleashed a Vibration Wave, clearing the field and shattering every earth needle.

"So this is your special Wind Release technique? Just like the intelligence said..." Changshi sneered, turned, and ran.

Then Genitsu made a hand gesture, and the three of them turned and ran as well.

That left Changshi in an awkward position.

"...Damn brats, you're actually this cautious... Can't be helped."

Changshi's expression changed slightly as he gritted his teeth, turned around, and continued the pursuit.

The moment he finished speaking.

A figure silently emerged from a nearby rock, gripping a kunai as he viciously slashed at Genitsu's neck.

But Guy, whose taijutsu was exceptional, immediately opened the third gate, the Gate of Life, and threw a punch that forced Yantie back.

"So you finally came out... If I remember correctly, you're a dark ninja from Iwagakure. It must have been hard for you to endure until now before showing yourself."

Genitsu scoffed and immediately retreated into the distance.

"Oh? You know my name? Did you discover me long ago? Your sensory ninjutsu is even stronger than the intelligence indicated. Konoha brat, I want to kill you more and more..."

Yantie stared at him with a gloomy expression. His meticulously prepared ambush had failed, leaving him in an extremely foul mood.

Changshi and Yantie—so it was these two. Genitsu remembered who they were.

The two unlucky fools Jiraiya had knocked down with a Rasengan in the original story.

"There are many people who want to kill us, but you definitely won't be among them... Die."

Genitsu spoke.

He immediately began forming hand seals. A vast radiation field spread outward, surging into Yantie's body with a wild momentum.

A fierce battle erupted.

"Brat, don't think you can bring me down with your poison. To complete the mission of killing you, I swallowed dozens of antidotes in one go!"

Yantie's eyes reddened as he roared and charged forward, drawing a short blade and fiercely clashing it against Genitsu's kunai.

Sure enough, Iwagakure had formally devised a plan to hunt Shibi's team after two months.

The talent displayed by Genitsu's group, their astonishing killing efficiency, and their bizarre abilities had all successfully drawn the attention of Iwagakure and Sunagakure.

Missions to eliminate geniuses from enemy villages had always held an extremely high priority.

"Did your powerful fighters hold Teacher Shibi back? Even so, the three of us are enough to kill you two."

Kazue activated her Sharingan. Her powerful insight and genjutsu began interfering with Changshi as she and Guy joined forces to besiege the weaker Changshi.

As for Genitsu, he faced the murderous dark ninja Yantie alone. Facing a jonin-level enemy for the first time, Genitsu was not panicked in the slightest.

He simply continued forming hand seals.

Nuclear Release: Vibration Wave!

"Heh, this technique may be powerful, but how many times can a brat like you use it with your Chakra?" Yantie hurriedly cleaved open the ground with a raised hand and leaped directly into the crack.

Silently, he moved through the fissure and attacked like a ghost, incredibly fast.

Shiranui Genitsu, a genius whose head ranked second only to Hatake Kakashi's on the talent-hunting list... I, Iwagakure's dark ninja Yantie, will claim it!

A deep greed and exhilaration appeared on Yantie's face as he slashed directly at Genitsu's head.

But in the next instant, Genitsu's hand speed suddenly increased! Faster and faster!!

Vibration Wave! Vibration Wave! Vibration Wave!...

"???"

Yantie was completely dumbfounded.

Rumble!!

Layer after layer of the earth was violently lifted up. Terrifying clouds of dust surged, trees were uprooted and hurled backward, and under the successive assaults of those powerful shockwaves, the ground was forcibly shaved down by more than a meter!

Yantie himself was instantly pulverized by the utterly unreasonable barrage of heavy blows.
