What is this power?

Mo Chen was in a state of uncontrolled chaos.

Just a moment ago, a powerful force had suddenly appeared from who-knows-where, spreading throughout his body and causing his strength to undergo a drastic change.

However, he couldn't control this power freely in such a short time, leading to an energy surge that broke out of his body.

Just as Endo Hiroshi's Chakra was absorbed and he was powerless to stop it, Mo Chen's power was unleashed, and he couldn't stop it himself.

This power, accompanied by surging life force, was pouring out non-stop.

The black substances emerging from the ground, nourished by his power, were rapidly growing, becoming thicker and larger.

Not only was Endo Hiroshi's Chakra draining away, but Mo Chen's Chakra was also turning into nourishment for the growth of these black substances.

If this continued, everyone present would be drained dry.

"I've messed up!" Mo Chen wanted to stop the Chakra output.

But because the power was too immense and his control over Chakra was far from sufficient, he couldn't control it at all.

Only now did Mo Chen realize belatedly that he had been too greedy!

The ability to fabricate the future allowed him to fabricate anything at will, so he immediately gave himself the most powerful ability without considering if his physique could keep up.

He was trying to build a skyscraper without even laying a foundation.

Fortunately, someone would arrive soon to stop it. He needed to be more careful about this kind of situation in the future.

If he wanted power, he had to strengthen his physique and talent first!

A towering skyscraper is built from the ground up; everything has a gradual process.

Fortunately, he had activated his Sharingan that morning, and it wasn't entirely useless now.

The Sharingan could enhance mental energy and greatly improve the control of power.

Otherwise, the energy outburst just now would have drained Mo Chen dry in a short time.

"What's going on?"

"Save them first!"

Soon, several presences appeared nearby. It was Asuma and the Patrolling Anbu.

After an initial period of confusion and panic, they all launched attacks on the black substances.

These black substances couldn't absorb Chakra from a distance; they only took effect when one was entangled by them.

Asuma and the Anbu who arrived later were prepared and naturally wouldn't fall into the trap so easily.

"Fire Style: Ash Pile Burning!"

"Water Style: Water Severing Wave!"

"Konoha Style Sword Technique: Gale Slash!"

Everyone unleashed their signature moves, and dealing with these black substances, which lacked autonomous defense, was quite easy.

Moreover, there were many hands, and three squads of Anbu had arrived.

Working together, they quickly rescued Endo Hiroshi and the others who were suspended.

Having lost so much Chakra, Endo Hiroshi was completely weakened and couldn't even stand.

If a Jonin was like this, it was even worse for Chie Mai and Ryota.

Both were sucked dry to the bone, their lives threatened.

Seeing this, the Anbu quickly dispatched one person to send the two to Konoha Hospital.

On the training ground, as the black substances were destroyed, their numbers decreased, and Mo Chen's burden lessened.

When about a fifth remained, covering an area of dozens of meters, Mo Chen was finally able to retract his power.

The remaining black substances, deprived of Mo Chen's Chakra supply, withered and shriveled at a visible rate, losing their vitality.

The crisis averted, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, their gazes towards Mo Chen filled with vigilance and a hint of strangeness.

Anyone could tell that this sudden crisis had been initiated by Mo Chen.

If it hadn't been dealt with in time, who knew how far it would have spread.

"Mo Chen!"

Ino arrived at this moment and was greatly shocked by the scene.

She instinctively rushed towards Mo Chen, then quickly realized their relationship wasn't that close yet. She restrained herself and put on a confused expression, asking, "What's going on? Did you cause all this?"

Shikamaru, who followed closely behind, was also surprised by the situation and noticed Ino's reaction was a bit off.

Of course, with too little information, even his high intelligence couldn't figure it out. He just felt something was strange.

"I don't know what's going on!" Mo Chen shook his head, barely managing to stand steady.

The sudden outburst had made the power within him incredibly surging.

Not only was his vitality vigorous and his physique greatly strengthened, but his Chakra reserves had also increased dozens or even hundreds of times.

He didn't know where this power came from, but it was a new ability he'd gained from fabricating the future; these enhancements were just a bonus.

Even though he'd used a lot of it just now, he showed no signs of fatigue, only a slight daze.

"Why did you guys come over too?" Asuma gestured with his eyes, signaling Shikamaru to pull Ino away from Mo Chen.

The situation earlier was a bit strange, and they hadn't figured it out yet. They should be wary of Mo Chen for now.

"Because the commotion was too big, we were a little worried and came to see if we could help," Ino offered a reason she thought was plausible.

But she wasn't exactly a warm-hearted person.

Shikamaru gave her a meaningful look, subtly tugged at Ino, and led her and Choji towards Asuma.

"This is such a pain!" Shikamaru grumbled, adding to Ino's explanation, "It's in the village, after all. We didn't expect any danger."

"You're all just fresh graduates, not even considered real ninja yet," Asuma said with some helplessness. "Whether there's danger or not, your first priority is to protect yourselves. As long as you don't cause trouble for others, you've passed."

"Teacher Asuma, you're underestimating us too much. We're not kids anymore!" Ino mumbled.

Just then, an Anbu member walked over and said in a low voice, "We've inquired. According to Endo Hiroshi, he was conducting a combat assessment with the new Team 9 here earlier."

"The other two members, in order to win, attacked Mo Chen and the teacher together. Mo Chen might have gotten angry and suddenly awakened some kind of power, which is why he's like this now."

Asuma was so shocked that the cigarette butt in his mouth fell to the ground. He stared at the bewildered and helpless Mo Chen with a horrified expression. "Awakening a power like this caused this scene? I've never even heard of anything like it. What kind of power is this?"

Seeing the Anbu shake his head, Asuma prepared to ask Mo Chen himself.

But the Anbu member stopped him and said gravely, "This matter must be decided by Third Lord. Until then, I hope everyone present will keep this confidential and absolutely not leak a single word."

Asuma's expression instantly turned serious upon hearing this.

He also realized that Mo Chen had awakened such a terrifying power. If the news got out, it would definitely attract many people's investigation and covetousness, as well as the villagers' panic.

"Understood!" Asuma nodded and said, "We didn't see anything today!"

After speaking, he pushed Ino, who still wanted to stay, and quickly left the scene with Shikamaru and Choji.

The Anbu member walked up to Mo Chen and said in as gentle a tone as possible, "Mo Chen, we need to report this matter to Third Hokage Lord. You'll come with us."

"Don't worry, this wasn't caused by your subjective will, and the damage isn't significant. Third Hokage Lord won't blame you."

"Wait!" Endo Hiroshi struggled to get up and said, "Take me with you. I'm his supervising Jonin, and I bear responsibility for this matter too."

"But you..." one of the Anbu members looked somewhat troubled.

Endo Hiroshi, however, had a determined look on his face. "My body is just a bit exhausted. I'll be fine after resting for a while."

Seeing this, the Anbu members couldn't say much more. They cleaned up the scene, erased any traces, sealed the remaining black substances into scrolls, and then took Endo Hiroshi and Mo Chen to see Third Hokage.
