Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion

"Will it succeed?"

Utatane Koharu, Hatake Kakashi, Might Guy, Yamanaka Inoichi, Inuzuka Tsume, and the others had arrived nearby long ago. They stared intently at Chiba, who was facing both "Wood Release: Great Tree Technique" and "Five Release: Great Combo Technique" in midair, but they had no confidence at all.

Whether it was the powerful "Shinra Tensei" from before or the immense Chakra radiating from Chiba that filled them with fear, both gave them an ominous feeling.

And soon, their premonition came true.

"Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"

Chiba neither used "Shinra Tensei" nor any of the abilities he had displayed before.

Instead, with a thought, the six Truth-Seeking Orbs already covered in Green Tenseigan Chakra moved from behind his back to before his raised right hand. They rapidly spun, forming a silver halo.

"Boom!"

The next moment, a massive tornado burst from the halo, sweeping up the incoming trees and the large-scale ninjutsu of five different natures. Its momentum remained undiminished as it continued onward, headed straight for Sarutobi Hiruzen and Yamato.

"Five Release: Five Battle Formation Wall Technique!"

"Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Yamato's expressions changed drastically. One hastily unleashed defensive ninjutsu of five different natures, while the other summoned an enormous forest regardless of the Chakra cost.

Yet beneath the devastating power of the tornado created by "Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion," the five-nature ninjutsu matter and trees they had summoned not only failed to provide any resistance, but were swept into the wind, further strengthening its power.

"Get out of the way!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Yamato realized something was wrong. Fortunately, their defensive ninjutsu had bought them a little time after all. As they frantically used various techniques, they barely, narrowly escaped the tornado's range.

"What?"

"That's impossible!"

Before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others discovered in utter shock that the tornado continued forward. It instantly leveled the entire Hokage Building, destroyed more than half of Kage Rock, then soared into the sky, tore through the clouds, and shot into outer space before gradually dissipating into the boundless universe.

Naturally, Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others could not see the part that took place in space.

"Is this... truly power that a human can possess?"

At that moment, whether it was Sarutobi Hiruzen, known as the "Strongest Hokage," or Yamato, Kakashi, and everyone else present, all felt their worldview—and even their entire sense of right and wrong—suffer an unprecedented impact.

They had no doubt that if that tornado had been unleashed directly from high above Konoha's center, perhaps two-thirds of it... no, the entire Konoha would have been flattened!

Even the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Bomb during the Nine-Tails Rebellion seemed somewhat inferior, in their eyes, to the "Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion" Chiba had just unleashed.

"Gasp!"

The moment that thought arose, Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others sucked in a cold breath. Strands of emotion known as fear inevitably rose within their hearts.

"So this is 'Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion' under Tenseigan Chakra Mode? It really didn't disappoint me."

Compared to them, Chiba was far more delighted at the moment.

He had certainly witnessed the power of "Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion" while watching a certain movie in his previous life, but how could seeing it on a big screen compare to using it himself?

"The only drawback is that it burns through Chakra a little too fast."

Having only just truly awakened his Chakra, and with limited Chakra reserves of his own, Chiba was unable to maintain Tenseigan Chakra Mode for long in the first place.

Using that "Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion" had shortened that time even further.

If one looked closely, they would even notice that the green Chakra cloak around Chiba's body was already showing faint signs of dispersing.

"Once Tenseigan Chakra Mode ends, with the massive Chakra consumption inside my body, I'm afraid I won't be a match for Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others."

"If I somehow force Sarutobi Hiruzen to use the 'Reaper Death Seal,' or even make Might Guy open the Eighth Gate, then I'll be completely screwed."

"So..."

After a rapid analysis, Chiba did not hesitate. He transformed into a streak of green light and flew straight toward the outskirts of Konoha at a speed no one could react to.

Yeah, running after showing off really was thrilling!

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen had just been immersed in Chiba's godlike might. Seeing Chiba's actions, he failed to react for a moment. Once he gradually realized what had happened, he immediately ordered, "Hyuga Chiba can't hold on much longer."

"Quick, stop him! He must not be allowed to leave Konoha!"

The others realized it as well. Chiba had only just awakened the Tenseigan, so there was no way he could maintain that kind of power indefinitely.

"Great, he isn't invincible."

At that moment, everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At least it proved that Chiba had not truly become a god. He still remained within the bounds of humanity.

"Chase him!"

At the same time, everyone frantically pursued the green streak of light.

They were not fools. They understood that if Chiba left Konoha and gained the chance to continue growing, then one day in the future, he might become Konoha's—and even the entire Ninja World's—greatest threat.

Although Chiba had attacked this time under the banner of avenging Hizashi Hyuga, and his words about the darkness within the village had moved Kakashi and the others, his actions had still been far too extreme.

Besides, human hearts were unpredictable. Who could guarantee that Chiba would remain kind-hearted after obtaining power truly unmatched in the world?

They did not dare gamble on his kindness!

But...

"Too fast!"

"Even if that speed doesn't match true light speed, it has to be far beyond the speed of sound, right?"

Before Kakashi and the others even reached Konoha Gate, the green streak of light had already vanished from their sight.

That also meant they had no chance of catching up to Chiba anytime soon.

"Hyuga Chiba's current form is about to fail. When that happens, his speed will definitely slow down, and he may even fall into a weakened state."

Sarutobi Hiruzen came before everyone and gave an order with an incomparably grave expression. "From this moment onward, every available Anbu is to devote themselves to tracking Hyuga Chiba."

"Classify Chiba as an S-Rank Rogue Ninja with Konoha's highest threat level. Issue an S-rank pursuit mission. The reward will temporarily be set at fifty million ryo and may be increased according to the circumstances..."

This time, Chiba's target had been Sarutobi Hiruzen himself.

Had Chiba not been so strong, it might have been one thing. But his power was this overwhelming.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had always presented himself as a kindly old grandfather, had no choice but to issue one cold-blooded order after another.

At that moment, he somewhat lived up to his old title of "Ninja Hero."
