"That S-Rank Rogue Ninja of the Konohagakure Hyuga Clan, he actually absorbed the Tailed Beast Bomb?"
"How on earth did he do that?"
"This is simply a feat worthy of a God!"
"I don't know why, but I feel like we are witnessing the birth of a truly terrifying monster."
"What are we in Sunagakure supposed to do now? Even the Kazekage would struggle to contend with such an existence, right?"
"I said it before—a monster like Gaara should have been put down long ago. Otherwise, how could something like this happen?"
Even Rasa, as the Kazekage, was shaken by Chiba absorbing the Tailed Beast Bomb released by Shukaku, feeling that he was difficult to oppose.
The surrounding Sunagakure Ninjas were naturally even more pathetic.
Some of the less resolute Sand Ninjas even dropped their weapons, despairingly choosing to give up resistance.
In fact, even if Hyuga Chiba had used some method to forcefully block the Tailed Beast Bomb, they wouldn't have been reduced to this state.
But he had actually absorbed it?
When combined with the realization that Hyuga Chiba's goal seemed to be Tailed Beast Chakra—the implications were terrifying to think about.
It was truly horrifying!
"Is this really the way he solves a Tailed Beast Bomb?"
In contrast, while Orochimaru was deeply shocked, he also became increasingly excited.
It was as if he had caught sight of a mysterious existence that kept bringing him "surprises."
Through the intelligence urgently provided to Sunagakure by Konoha earlier, Orochimaru naturally knew that Hyuga Chiba likely possessed the ability to absorb the target's Chakra.
But guessing was one thing; seeing it with his own eyes was another.
At this moment, the weight of the Tenseigan in Orochimaru's mind gradually surpassed that of the Uchiha Clan's Mangekyo Sharingan, approaching the level of Pain's Rinnegan.
The only trouble was—
"The First Hokage and Second Hokage I summoned via Impure World Reincarnation will likely be unable to deal with Chiba-kun." Orochimaru glanced at Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama on his left and right, frowning for a moment.
If it were Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama in their prime, it might have been possible to suppress Hyuga Chiba.
Unfortunately, the strength of the Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama that Orochimaru had summoned this time was significantly discounted compared to when they were alive.
Letting them deal with some Kage-level figures, such as that elderly Sarutobi, shouldn't be too much of a problem.
But if they were tasked with dealing with the current Hyuga Chiba, that would likely be beyond their capabilities.
Once Hyuga Chiba truly obtained the power of Shukaku, it would be even more troublesome for Orochimaru.
Fortunately, Orochimaru had many tricks up his sleeve; even if something were to go wrong here, he could still be resurrected.
"Nani?"
"My Tailed Beast Bomb was actually absorbed by that naturally evil human?"
At this moment, the one most shocked was naturally Shukaku himself.
He vaguely remembered that the Six Paths Old Man's Rinnegan did indeed possess the ability to absorb ninjutsu.
But perhaps, maybe, possibly—it wouldn't be as outrageous as directly absorbing a Tailed Beast Bomb like this, right?
Uh, or perhaps it was because a Tailed Beast Bomb was too trivial in front of the Six Paths Old Man, so he never bothered to try absorbing one with his Rinnegan?
"A decent 'snack,' barely acceptable as a welcome gift from you."
At this moment, Chiba beckoned to Shukaku with his finger and said, "Do you have any other moves?"
"If you don't, then I'm going to take the initiative."
"You bastard, how dare you look down on me?" Faced with Chiba's provocation, Shukaku was instantly infuriated. "I don't believe you can keep absorbing them forever."
"Consecutive Tailed Beast Bombs!"
One Tailed Beast Bomb after another shot out from Shukaku's mouth, continuously attacking Chiba.
At the same time!
"Magnet Release: Gold Dust Imperial Burial!"
"Wood Release: Deep Forest Bloom!"
"Water Release: Water Severing Wave!"
A massive amount of gold dust spikes resembling mountain peaks, trees capable of absorbing and suppressing Chakra, and an ultra-high-pressure linear water jet assaulted Chiba from different directions and angles.
"Attack together, quickly!"
"We must not let that Tenseigan brat continue to absorb the Tailed Beast Bombs, otherwise we are all finished."
A portion of the Sand Ninjas who reacted faster also realized the situation and unleashed all kinds of attacks toward Hyuga Chiba at once.
Although the other Sand Ninjas were a bit slower to react, they quickly followed suit.
"Chiba-kun, don't call us despicable; you possess the Tenseigan, which is comparable to God's Eye!"
Watching Hyuga Chiba being besieged by Shukaku, Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama, and the entire village of Sunagakure, Orochimaru found these words slipping out of his mouth for some unknown reason.
He also wanted to know how Hyuga Chiba would deal with the current situation.
It couldn't be that the latter was actually going to absorb all of those attacks, could it?
"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
The next moment, thousands of green figures identical to Hyuga Chiba appeared in the sky above Sunagakure, each of them holding a green Chakra Orb in their hands.
It was as if a brand-new green starry sky had been created above Sunagakure.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
Immediately following, amidst the incredulous gazes of everyone present, those dense, overwhelming barrages of attacks were all absorbed by Hyuga Chiba's main body and the Chakra Orbs held by his thousands of Shadow Clones.
"Damn that Second Hokage. Of all the Forbidden Jutsus he could have invented, why did he have to invent the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu?"
"I never imagined that the Shadow Clone Jutsu, when combined with an existence like Hyuga Chiba, could produce such a terrifying effect."
"That naturally evil Senju old man, I'll personally—"
At this moment, all the Sunagakure ninja, and even Orochimaru and Shukaku, felt a burning desire to curse Senju Tobirama.
This old man hadn't been overwhelmingly powerful while alive, but the amount of trouble he had caused from beyond the grave was truly significant.
Perhaps it was just an illusion, but some even noticed that Senju Tobirama, who should have been under Orochimaru's absolute control, had the corners of his mouth quirk upward, nearly turning into a Konoha version of the "Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King."
"Since you have already made your moves, it is my turn now."
"Don't call me despicable. I am facing the entire village of Sunagakure, one of the Sannin, Orochimaru, Konoha's First and Second Hokage, and the One-Tail Shukaku, one of the nine Tailed Beasts!"
At this moment, thousands of Hyuga Chibas spoke in unison, and the Chakra Orbs in their hands shot out toward everyone in every direction like small green meteors.
"Gold Dust Shield!"
"Summoning: Triple Rashomon!"
"Wood Style: Wood Guard!"
"Water Style: Water Shockwave!"
Seeing this scene, Rasa, Orochimaru, and the others were all struck by a bad premonition and scrambled to unleash various defensive techniques, attempting to block Chiba's Chakra Orbs.
