After completing the hand seals.
She began inhaling frantically, charging up and refining Chakra.
After charging for a full three seconds.
She finally opened her mouth and suddenly blasted an extremely terrifying pillar of flame at Gaara!
"Scorch Style: Roar of the Thunder Flame Dragon!"
The pillar of flame instantly shot two kilometers, countless arcs of electricity coiling around it.
The pillar of flame was not only long but also thick.
It directly covered the entire body of the One-Tail-transformed Gaara!
"Ah!"
Gaara let out an involuntary scream.
Then, under that terrifying attack, he fell silent.
"This..."
Feeling the terrifying power of that attack, all the surrounding ninjas were stunned.
"Is this really a technique a Genin can use?"
Outside the competition grounds.
A little white snake sensed the terrifying aura nearby and could not help stopping for a moment.
It turned its head and glanced behind it.
Then it fled outside Konoha at an even greater speed.
"This... is this Hinata's strength?"
Hyuga Hiashi stared at the terrifying pillar of flame in the distance, nearly bulging his Byakugan out of its sockets.
"She's too powerful...
She must be the most talented ninja our clan has ever had, right?
Could it be...
That she lost to Hanabi purely because she was holding back?"
"This kind of attack...
The fusion of lightning and fire.
Is it a new Kekkei Genkai?
How impressive..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly revealed a relieved smile.
"I never expected Hinata to have surpassed the strength of an ordinary Elite Jonin~
How impressive...
But.
How did she become so powerful?
Could it be...
All of this was Bai Hao's doing?
No way?"
"This must be Bai Hao's technique!"
Unlike Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Kakashi was absolutely certain about it.
"That boy's ability to create ninjutsu is simply too powerful!"
"No... no way, right?
Such a terrifying ninjutsu..."
Kankuro, who had already killed several Anbu with his terrifying poison, suddenly showed a look of horror.
"Gaara...
Gaara couldn't be dead...
Konoha is too terrifying..."
That terrifying pillar of flame continued for a full five seconds before finally stopping.
When the flames went out.
The originally enormous Gaara had vanished.
In his place.
Was Gaara in his normal state!
"Begin the counterattack!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi restored Enma to his original form, then waved his hand forcefully.
The counterattack against the invaders began!
The Konoha Crush operation had ended hastily, but the harvest was huge! [Second update—please support with flowers and collections]
Inside the competition grounds, the balance between the two sides instantly reversed after Gaara fell.
On the invaders' side.
Because their strongest fighter, Orochimaru, had "died," the Kazekage had disappeared, and Gaara had been defeated.
The invaders' morale instantly plummeted to rock bottom.
They had no desire to continue fighting. Some ninjas had even begun fleeing.
As for Konoha.
Because Hinata had displayed overwhelming power, along with the sudden appearance of Buddha's Palm.
Their momentum was now soaring.
Thus, the invaders were driven back continuously by the Konoha Ninja.
"The tide has turned~"
Kakashi spoke lazily.
After saying that, he turned to glance at Hinata.
At that moment, Hinata was fighting the invaders with tremendous energy.
She showed no sign of having expended a great deal of Chakra.
If Kakashi had not just witnessed her use Roar of the Thunder Flame Dragon with his own eyes, he absolutely would not have believed that the person before him had unleashed such a terrifying ninjutsu.
"I never thought...
She actually had so much Chakra."
Kakashi found it extremely strange.
Hinata could not possibly possess such a terrifying amount of Chakra.
Yet Hinata had used such a terrifying ninjutsu with complete ease.
That was deeply puzzling.
A rapid increase in strength could be explained by having the right cultivation method.
Quick mastery of ninjutsu could be explained by her being a genius to begin with.
But a sudden explosion in Chakra reserves was impossible to explain.
"Could it be...
That Bai Hao has some secret method for increasing Chakra?"
Once he thought of this possibility.
Kakashi immediately became somewhat unsettled.
His current weakness was that he had too little Chakra.
If he could make up for that weakness...
"Looks like I'll have to find Bai Luo for a chat too..."
Many Konoha Ninja had noticed the sudden increase in Hinata's Chakra reserves.
However.
These ninjas all did something surprisingly consistent: they said nothing.
After all, matters related to cultivation were personal secrets.
If they could defeat her, they might consider kidnapping her and threatening her.
But if they could not defeat her, they could only silently give up.
The way the people around him looked at Hinata had changed.
Bai Hao had noticed this long ago.
However.
He did not care.
So far, Hinata had only revealed her surface-level strength.
She had not used "Pikachu Mode," nor had she directly activated her complete Pikachu form.
Moreover, her strongest killing move was not actually "Tailed Beast Transformation."
It was Ten Million Volts, a seemingly worthless skill.
At first.
Bai Hao had also thought that Ten Million Volts was a terrible and useless skill.
After all.
In a certain anime, that Pikachu's Ten Million Volts was a skill that was sometimes useful and sometimes useless.
He had assumed from the start that this Ten Million Volts was just as useless.
But.
After conducting experiments, he discovered that Ten Million Volts was actually an extremely terrifying ultimate attack!
The strength of an electric-type attack was not determined by voltage.
Nor was it determined by the current alone.
Instead, it depended on the current passing through the human body.
