Chunin Ninja Exams Venue, First Written Exam.

Uchiha Hikari listlessly fiddled with the pen in his hand, occasionally frowning as he looked out the window.

She looked up for Uchiha Hikari felt like the umpteenth time, and saw the sky-covering ice curtain that was quite conspicuous in the reflection of the light, even from a distance.

Something happened.

Throwing his pen aside, Uchiha Hikari, disregarding the fact that it was exam time, leaped and smashed through a window, stepping on the head of an unknown Mist Ninja.

"Huh, huh?"

Touching her head, Ringo Ameyuri felt dizzy.

I, a renowned Lightning Release genius from Kirigakure, and one of the strongest contenders for the title of the new generation of Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, actually had my head stepped on by an unknown Konoha girl?!

Ibiki Morino, who was in charge of proctoring the exam, was at a loss for words and could only focus his gaze on Uchiha Hikari's nominal companions, namely Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui.

"Sorry, we abstain."

Itachi acted decisively, stood up, politely apologized, and hurriedly followed Hikari's footsteps.

But what was unexpected was that he chose the same method as Guang.

Just as Ringo Ameyuri was thinking about how to lash out, her head was stepped on again.

Of the three, only Shisui remained calm; he jumped out of the window by stepping on Ringo Ameyuri's exam paper.

"Ki... Ki... Konoha's Uchiha-- "

Ringo Ameyuri was angry.

Although she didn't recognize Uchiha Hikari, she saw the Gunbai emblems on Itachi and Shisui's clothes and immediately blamed the Uchiha Clan for her anger.

My stomach hurts, I need some stomach medicine.

Listening to Ringo Ameyuri teeth grinding, Ibiki Morino felt an unprecedented sense of bewilderment about his first time proctoring an exam.

Were all the Uchiha around the Fifth Generation these kinds of strange guys?

However, putting aside the stomachache for now, Ibiki Morino naturally noticed the commotion coming from the direction of the village, but out of trust in the Hokage's strength and his own duty as an examiner, he had no intention of taking any action.

For him, successfully completing the first exam was the most important task the Hokage had given him.

Ibiki Morino's heart clenched Ringo Ameyuri, who was about to chase after Hikaru and the others with her sword but was stopped by her teammates.

The exam will go smoothly, right?

"The strength of Konoha 'Jonin is nothing special."

Grabbing Iruka Umino by the neck with one hand and lifting him up forcefully, Tsurugi Hyōga grinned from ear to ear.

Iruka Umino was being pinched so hard her eyes rolled back, but she was powerless to resist.

Facing Ice Release ninja who can create ice anytime, anywhere, it is indeed too difficult for a ninja tool user like Iruka Umino to resist.

"Then, that's the end."

Tsurugi Hyōga was about to deliver a quick death to the middle-aged man with a small mustache when she saw a dark figure rapidly approaching from afar.

"Is there still anyone here?"

Sensing the opponent's speed, Tsurugi Hyōga casually tossed Iruka Umino aside, grinning maliciously as she rapidly formed hand seals.

Ice Release: Swallow Snowfall!

"Get out of my way! Fire Style: Dragon Flame Song Jutsu!"

To Tsurugi Hyōga's surprise, the visitor appeared to be a young girl.

But even she, Ice Release ninja, felt a chill from the coldness in the other person's eyes.

This chill didn't last long; Uchiha Hikari's scorching Fire Style, while engulfing the Ice Release, also completely submerged Tsurugi Hyōga.

With a violent explosion, Tsurugi Hyōga's mangled figure flew out of the thick smoke and crashed heavily to the ground.

"What?!"

Fuyuguma Tōri was finishing off the other Konoha Ninjas when, by the time he realized what was happening, he only saw Tsurugi Hyōga lying Fudō on the ground, her body charred black.

Her prized Chakra Armor had long since been burned to a dark, charred state by the fire.

Realizing the newcomer was quite powerful, Fuyuguma Tōri swung his fist, about to unleash the power of his Chakra Armor, when his eyes were instantly covered in blood red.

After casting the Illusion Technique, Uchiha Hikari did not stop and continued rushing towards Konoha.

By the time Itachi and Shisui arrived, Fuyuguma Tōri had already committed suicide, kneeling on the ground, completely lifeless.

"They're so fast! Even the two of us couldn't keep up."

The journey from Kikyo Mountain Fortress was a considerable burden for Itachi, given his current strength.

Shisui wholeheartedly agreed, nodding and saying, "Yes, this senior Hikaru's strength is indeed not to be underestimated. Ah, he's Jonin..."

Shisui, who was about to say a few words of reflection, suddenly noticed that Iruka Umino was still breathing on the ground and hurriedly went over to help him up.

In front of the Hokage Building in Konoha.

With Kazashiro himself fighting the enemy on the front lines, Minato, who came to provide support, was sent to protect Kushina, leaving only some ordinary ninjas guarding the Hokage Building.

Shinno was looking for this opportunity. After crushing the heads of two Konoha Ninjas with his Chakra Armor, he was about to step into the Hokage Building to find the Scroll of Seals he had been dreaming of.

"Get out of here."

Before he could even step through the gate, he was sent flying by a powerful force, his armor shattered, and through the blur, he could only make out that the person who had thrown him was a girl, or more precisely, the layer of red Chakra covering her body.

We are all trying our best to live...

The moment he landed, Shinno seemed to hear a song he had never heard before.

"Tch, where is that brat?"

The one who created the flying Shinno was naturally Uchiha Hikari, who was moving at full speed. Because she would always encounter some small fry along the way, she simply activated the armor of Susanoo and sent all those who dared to block her flying.

With his eyes darting around, Uchiha Hikari desperately searched for Kazashiro's figure.

Finally, after crossing another block, she saw that repulsive figure.

Before she could even catch her breath, a series of gunshots rang out, and sharp bullets pierced Kazashiro's shoulder, followed by his chest.

Huh?

Kazashiro was clearly surprised to be hit by such a cross-version attack, and looked in astonishment in the direction from which the bullet had been fired.

"Hmph, Nadare Rōga is a complete idiot. In the end, it's still me Tiger Claw Ice Crack, who gets the upper hand."

The newcomer was carrying a multi-barreled machine gun, the barrels of which were rotating at a slow speed, and several drones were circling around him.

"You bastard!"

Unexpectedly witnessing such a horrific scene upon arrival, Uchiha Hikari gritted his teeth and was about to rush forward to crush the opponent, completely unaware that Kakashi beside Kazashiro was watching Tiger Claw Ice Crack with an extremely calm demeanor.

"How about Ice Clone, the kind that bleeds?"

Kazashiro's voice came from behind Tiger Claw Ice Crack. He was about to pierce the opponent's body with the Kunai in his hand, but the drone reacted first and fired a series of bullets at Kazashiro.
