So You're Madara Uchiha?

So You're Madara Uchiha?

Xu Fan could clearly feel a warm current forming within his body, then rapidly spreading throughout him.

The injuries on his face and ankle visibly healed at an astonishing speed, and the throbbing pain quickly vanished as well.

"So this is Hashirama's Chakra."

Xu Fan murmured inwardly, quickly grasping the situation.

In fact, anyone who knew even a little about Naruto knew that everyone else had Chakra, but Hashirama's couldn't be called Chakra. It should be called Chakra-ton. Even if the Nine-Tails were dragged over here, it might not be able to match him.

The true God of Shinobi!

Entirely deserving of the title!

Forget Kumogakure Shinobi—even if Madara Uchiha came personally, activated his Complete Body Susanoo, and stabbed him once, Xu Fan could backhand him with two slaps.

So you're Madara Uchiha?

So you're the one who wanted others to dance?

But aside from that boundless Chakra-ton, Xu Fan had gained another ability.

Xu Fan steadied himself and directly erupted the Chakra within his body.

That vast Chakra instantly formed a shockwave, blasting several Kumogakure Shinobi around him into the air.

Xu Fan could even clearly see their eyes widening in disbelief as his power sent them flying.

Chakra could actually be used like this?

However, Xu Fan soon recalled the later stages of Naruto Shippuden, when Orochimaru used Impure World Reincarnation to summon the past Hokages.

The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, had wanted to deal with Sasuke Uchiha on the spot. Hashirama had simply released his Chakra, not only suppressing everyone present but also cracking the surrounding walls.

Uchiha Sasuke had been scared stiff at the time.

And that was with Orochimaru suppressing him to a certain degree, while Hashirama had not intended to use his full strength at all.

Still, the Chakra Xu Fan unleashed immediately caught the Kumogakure leader's attention.

"This Chakra...?"

The Kumogakure leader was startled. Such an outrageous Chakra amount did not require a Sensory Ninja to detect; even from hundreds of meters away, it could be felt clearly.

"Could it be the Third Hokage?"

The Kumogakure leader swallowed. In his view, the only person in all of Konoha who possessed Chakra at this level was the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

But was that possible?

His speed was second only to Lord Raikage's. Yet in such a short time, Konoha's Hokage had noticed him and, rather than chasing after him, had intercepted him.

"Let her go."

Xu Fan instantly appeared behind the Kumogakure leader, his voice low.

The Cloud Shinobi Xu Fan had sent flying earlier landed precisely at the leader's feet.

It had to be said that Hashirama's Chakra-ton was even more immense than Xu Fan had imagined, so much so that he had difficulty controlling it for the moment.

"You..."

The Kumogakure leader abruptly turned around and looked at the newcomer. With just one glance, he froze in place.

The newcomer was not the Third Hokage at all, merely a black-haired youth.

He looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old.

Yet without a doubt, that terrifying Chakra had been released by him.

Could he be a Jinchuriki?

Had he perfectly controlled the power of a tailed beast, just like Killer B?

Those damned intelligence officers—what exactly had they investigated...?

For a moment, the leader could not help wondering whether his village's intelligence shinobi were all useless.

Thud!

"Wait... am I trembling?" The Kumogakure leader nervously swallowed. He had intended to have the others buy him time while he hurriedly retreated, but only now did he realize that his legs felt as though they weighed thousands of pounds.

Forget turning around and fleeing—even making them stop shaking was difficult.

No, it was simply impossible.

The supporting shinobi were in even worse shape. Their minds now contained only one thing...

Fear!

What was this unprecedented sense of terror?

Was that really Chakra?

It was exactly like facing the Eight-Tails in a rampage!

They were not Genin or Chunin. In order to obtain the Hyuga Clan's Byakugan, they had been carefully selected from among the Jonin as Elite Jonin.

The purpose had been to ensure that this operation would succeed without fail.

Xu Fan watched coldly. He had no intention of letting these Kumogakure fools return alive.

Then he narrowed his eyes slightly and precisely controlled his Chakra to ensure Hinata would not be harmed before releasing it at full force.

Boom!

The Chakra shockwave surged forward like a towering tidal wave, producing a violent sonic boom.

In a single instant, it pulverized the blood, bones, and organs of the several shinobi farther away from Hinata.

As for the Kumogakure leader holding Hinata, his arm was instantly shattered. His body flew backward, and the forest behind him was flattened by that force along with him.

Even century-old trees were uprooted.

Hinata, on the other hand, landed steadily on the ground, as though she had felt nothing at all.

But as moonlight gradually spilled over Hinata, she slowly opened her eyes.

At the same time, Hyuga Hiashi discovered Hinata's disappearance. After sending people to contact the Third Hokage, he personally gave chase at full speed.

Fortunately, relying on the Byakugan's special abilities, he quickly found a trail to follow.

Yet what Hyuga Hiashi never expected was that, just as he was about to reach the border of the Land of Fire, he suddenly sensed a tidal wave of Chakra.

"This is..."

Hyuga Hiashi could not help drawing in a sharp breath. Even without using a Dojutsu like the Byakugan, he could clearly sense that vast Chakra shockwave.

And he had only felt such outrageous Chakra once before...

Nine-Tails Rampage Night!

"Damn it! Those Cloud Shinobi not only kidnapped Hinata, they also took the Jinchuriki!"

One of the people behind Hyuga Hiashi roared without hesitation.

In their understanding, only a tailed beast could possess such outrageous Chakra.

As the head of the Hyuga Clan, Hyuga Hiashi had always been quick-witted, so he immediately changed the plan.

"Everyone, enter combat readiness! At the very least... we must hold them off until the Third Hokage arrives!"

Hyuga Hiashi clenched his fists. He felt that this was no longer simply about the Cloud Shinobi wanting the Byakugan. The enemy might be planning to use this opportunity to start a war and destroy all of Konoha!

"This is not only for the Hyuga Clan, but for our village as well!"

"We must hold the tailed beast here!"
