Impossible

"Surprise—bet you didn't see that coming, all that circling around made my head spin. Time to finish you off!" Uzumaki Chenhao said with a smile, looking at the utterly stunned Yamagata Ichiryu in front of him.

By then, a blue Rasengan had already formed in the palm of Uzumaki Chenhao's hand.

Without waiting for Yamagata Ichiryu to snap out of it, Uzumaki Chenhao drove the Rasengan straight into his abdomen.

"No way, this can't be real, none of this is real. Ahh—" Even at that moment, Yamagata Ichiryu refused to believe it was true, but there was no helping it—his abdomen had already gone completely numb.

The Rasengan in Uzumaki Chenhao's hand slowly dissipated. At that instant, he shoved forward with all his might, blasting Yamagata Ichiryu flying.

Yamagata Ichiryu crashed into the largest boulder after being sent flying, then slammed hard onto the ground, unable to move a muscle.

Watching from the sidelines, Chun Muzi couldn't believe that the Uzumaki Chenhao before her was the same one she used to protect. He had fully grown up now, and in just a few years, he might become the strongest ninja.

"My god, what exactly did Haohao go through these past few days? How did his strength grow to this level? It's just too unbelievable," Chun Muzi thought, her emotions a tangled mess. She had no idea what was going on, but she was still overjoyed—after all, the person she liked had slowly come into his own.

Uzumaki Chenhao looked at the three he had defeated, lying motionless on the ground, then clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Really don't know your place, do you? Coming to teach me a lesson with strength like that—how ridiculous. If I ever catch you doing anything bad again, I'll make sure you pay a heavy price."

With that, Uzumaki Chenhao straightened his clothes, turned around, and walked toward Chun Muzi with a smile on his face.

"Muzi, what's wrong? Still shocked? Alright, alright, let's head home—it's getting late," Uzumaki Chenhao said, coming up beside her and seeing her stunned expression. He patted her head and smiled at her.

Chun Muzi looked at the Uzumaki Chenhao in front of her. She could hardly believe that this was the same Haohao she had once protected.

"Alright, alright, you've seen my strength now. And I only used about seventy percent of it just now. From now on, it's my turn to protect you!" Uzumaki Chenhao patted her head again and said with a smile.

Hearing what Uzumaki Chenhao had just said, Chun Muzi slowly came back to her senses and said with a smile, "Haohao, I have to say, that fight really surprised me. I never expected your strength to grow so fast—it's truly amazing."

"Alright, let's go home. I hope your strength keeps getting stronger from now on. From now on, it's your turn to protect me. You're no longer the Uzumaki Chenhao I used to protect. From now on, you have to walk your own path. I believe that one day, you'll become the village's hero."

As they walked back, Chun Muzi said with a smile.
