Enough

Before Ei Yano Yu's fist, Akimichi Jirokuma's round, pudgy body stopped spinning and was sent flying backward.

Haneina hurried forward to treat Akimichi Jirokuma. She saw Yoshimaru spit out a huge mouthful of blood in midair.

If not for all that fat absorbing the impact, Akimichi Jirokuma would have died.

Thank goodness for fat!

Having dealt with the insignificant pests who dared interfere, Ei Yano Yu continued facing off against Kushina, who had already lost her reason.

Ei Yano Yu was absurdly strong. He was actually suppressing Kushina even with one Chakra tail, slamming her into the ground again and again and kicking up clouds of dust.

However, the Uzumaki Clan's special constitution, coupled with the Nine-Tails' powerful healing ability, kept Ei Yano Yu from subduing Kushina in a short time.

Mikoto, who was closest to Kushina, had already seen Kushina cough up blood from a single punch.

Her eyes stung. She did not understand why they had come to take the exam, or why they had suddenly become locked in a fight to the death with the Cloud ninja.

Minato took in everything. Using the Body Flicker Technique, he quickly arrived before Uzumaki Shinmen and grabbed the Cloud ninja's kunai with his right hand.

The kunai seemed frozen. No matter how hard the Cloud ninja struggled, he could not move it even an inch.

How could a genin possess such tremendous strength?

Minato exerted force with his left hand and sent the Cloud ninja behind Uzumaki Shinmen flying with a punch.

After saving Uzumaki Shinmen, Minato saw dozens of square shuriken flying toward them.

Uzumaki Shinmen must have been tampered with. Magnet Release Troy could use his Magnet Release tracking ability to kill Uzumaki Shinmen at any time.

Throwing Uzumaki Shinmen toward Senju Chihiro, Minato shouted, "Chihiro! Protect Uzumaki Shinmen!"

Facing dozens of square shuriken, Minato threw out shuriken and formed hand seals.

Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!

The shuriken flew through the air, instantly multiplying into dozens, then hundreds, knocking down all of Toroi's square shuriken.

Toroi was greatly surprised. Did this blond Konoha brat have such an enormous amount of chakra?

Without even aiming, he had simply used sheer numbers to knock away every one of his square shuriken.

Toroi unsealed square shuriken half the height of a man from a scroll, preparing to get serious.

But what he encountered was an enraged Minato.

"Enough!"

Minato appeared before Toroi with the Body Flicker Technique and used the Rasengan on him.

Seeing the fist-sized ball of chakra, Toroi's expression turned extremely grave.

This was a hand-signless ninjutsu capable of clashing head-on with Ei Yano Yu. It was powerful.

The next second, the Rasengan abruptly expanded, and Toroi's entire face was bathed in its blue chakra light.

"Big Ball Rasengan!"

A Rasengan one meter in diameter, nearly as large as the square shuriken, appeared before Toroi.

Toroi excelled at using Magnet Release to track enemies from afar. His ability to withstand direct attacks was rather ordinary.

The Big Ball Rasengan directly crushed the giant square shuriken and slammed into Toroi's chest.

With a miserable scream, Toroi was sent flying.

Hearing the scream, Ei Yano Yu hurriedly turned his head during a break in the fight. He saw Toroi crash into a tree, his chest ribs torn open by the Rasengan, his internal organs mangled together.

"Toroi!"

Dead? Magnet Release Troy, one of the Cloud Hidden Village's trump card bloodlines, was dead?

Toroi could be said to be one of the village's key prospects for the next generation. He was especially close to Ei Yano Yu. If nothing unexpected happened, Toroi would become Ei Yano Yu's Raikage's Assistant.

Toroi had grown up alongside Ei Yano Yu since childhood. Both were Teacher Dotō's disciples.

Then Ei Yano Yu saw Minato's cold gaze, and a chill rose in his heart.

Minato was a transmigrator, so this world had always felt somewhat unreal to him.

Killing people did not place much psychological burden on him.

For the first time, Ei Yano Yu hesitated. He felt killing intent.

Behind him was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki who had lost her reason; before him stood the terrifyingly powerful Minato Namikaze. Ei Yano Yu's facial muscles twitched as he decided to retreat.

After a crack of thunder, Ei Yano Yu vanished. Minato hurried over to check on Kushina.

Inside the Death Forest's tower, the Hyuga Clan ninja looked tense, unsure whether to speak or how to begin.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and the Third Lightning Kage both stood where they were, silently using their sensory ninjutsu.

They had said they would not interfere with the Chunin Exams, so neither of them entered the field.

Hiruzen Sarutobi vaguely sensed that the Cloud ninja were at a disadvantage.

Sure enough, more than ten seconds later, Gamabunta, whose body was taller than the trees, killed the Cloud ninja's Summoning Beast—the giant black bear.

With Gamabunta free to act, Konoha undoubtedly held the advantage.

The Third Lightning Kage's expression stiffened. That giant bear had been painstakingly raised by the Cloud Hidden Village. It ranked among the top five Summoning Beasts on Turtle Island, yet it had died here.

Konoha's Mount Myōboku legacy was throwing its weight around.

Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a puff of smoke and said with a smile:

"I never expected the Cloud Hidden Village to raise such a powerful Summoning Beast. It actually lasted more than ten seconds against Gamabunta.

Gamabunta is one of Mount Myōboku's top giant toads. Even Jiraiya has to treat him carefully."

The Third Lightning Kage frowned and looked at the Hyuga Clan ninja. "You with the Byakugan, tell us what happened."

After seeing the Third Hokage nod, the Hyuga Clan ninja said:

"Lord Hokage, Lord Raikage, two Cloud ninja squads and four Konoha squads just clashed.

The start of their battle was strange, and the fighting was extremely intense.

Kushina Uzumaki was the first to erupt with powerful chakra. That chakra was terrifying."

Hiruzen Sarutobi froze. He hurriedly recalled what he had sensed earlier. That feeling really had been very similar to Nine-Tails Chakra.

This was bad. Had Kushina gone berserk?

He immediately signaled to an ANBU at his side. The masked Hima nodded and immediately went to arrange for the Sealing Squad.

The Hyuga Ninja took out a list containing the names of every competing squad and said:

"Of the three members of the Cloud ninja's Toroi Squad, one was captured by Minato Namikaze, while the other two, including Captain Toroi, were killed by Minato Namikaze.

Of the Cloud ninja's Ei Yano Yu Squad, two members besides Ei Yano Yu were killed by Minato Namikaze.

Of the Kushina Uzumaki Squad, two members besides Kushina Uzumaki were killed by Ei Yano Yu.

All of this happened within fifteen seconds."

The gathered jonin looked at one another upon hearing the report. The moment the two sides met, there had been no probing between ninja. They had immediately launched into a fight to the death.

The Third Lightning Kage glanced at Dodai beside him. Dodai swallowed with difficulty.

They had failed. The mission had failed. Not only had they failed to obtain new intelligence on the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Technique, they had also suffered grievous casualties.

That member of Toroi Squad who had been captured should have been the Uzumaki Orphan their Cloud Hidden Village had captured.

Thankfully, Ei Yano Yu had escaped. At least the Raikage's son had gotten out.

The tower fell into dead silence. No one spoke. Hiruzen Sarutobi waited for a more detailed report, while the Third Lightning Kage's anger continued to build.

At that moment, a tall white-haired figure kicked open the doors to the tower hall.

Jiraiya's booming voice echoed through the hall:

"Old man! Is the Chunin Exams really this intense? I saw Minato summon Gamabunta from far away."

Jiraiya used the Body Flicker Technique to reach the second-floor observation corridor and looked eagerly at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

But the Third Lightning Kage spoke first:

"Jiraiya! I never expected the disciple you trained to be so bloodthirsty. The moment they met, he killed four genin from our village in just over ten seconds!"
