Insufficient firepower? RPG to the rescue!

At this moment, enduring the hail of bullets, Orochimaru forced himself to stand up.

He waved a hand toward Uchiha Sora.

Instantly, a massive swarm of small white snakes rained down like a dense downpour.

They formed an ocean of serpents.

It was enough to nearly submerge everyone present.

"Damn it! Do you think this trash can hurt me? It's not enough!"

Orochimaru roared repeatedly.

Being beaten into such a state by a junior was truly humiliating.

However, Uchiha Sora replied with a cold voice.

"Is that so? I have an even larger caliber!"

"Let me show you: a fusion of an anti-tank rocket launcher and a Tomahawk cruise missile!"

As soon as Uchiha Sora said this, Orochimaru's scalp went numb.

Everyone saw Uchiha Sora holding his hands as if he were bracing something on his shoulder.

They could vaguely see a purple cylinder, similar to a Susanoo, carved with spiral ridges and grooves.

And at that moment, from the end of that barrel, something pitch-black was being launched!

"What is this again?"

Orochimaru was nearly dumbfounded.

Yet, the next second, he found out.

The rocket launcher fired with a deafening roar.

It was a projectile infused with one-tenth of Uchiha Sora's total chakra, possessing the armor-piercing power of a shell and the explosive payload of a cruise missile!

It shot out like lightning, instantly descending upon Orochimaru!

He was submerged within the sea of snakes below.

BOOM!

The next second, a pillar of fire shot into the sky, accompanied by ripples of shockwaves.

Those pythons were all blasted into smithereens, and Orochimaru bore the brunt of the impact.

Wrapped in the soaring sea of flames, he took an RPG missile head-on; no matter how tough he was, he was left in pieces!

He had no time to dodge and could only watch as he was caught in the explosion.

In an instant, the scene was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and the earth was scorched, leaving behind a massive, pitch-black crater.

As for Orochimaru, there was no telling where he had been blown to.

Suddenly, the only sounds left at the scene were gasps, along with the pungent, acrid stench of burnt snake meat.

"Hiss... I'm telling you, Uchiha Sora, we're both from Konoha Village, don't go killing your own people!"

At this moment, Choji looked pleading.

He was terrified that Uchiha Sora might turn around and fire a shot at him next.

Beside him, Naruto's teeth were chattering.

"You freak! You Uchiha clan members are all freaks!"

Everyone present was utterly shocked; they could never have imagined that this usually calm and low-key "friend of the ladies"—the village's infamous Uchiha deadbeat—would suddenly stun everyone with such a feat today.

Although they were all tools, using equipment in the ninja world was not looked down upon.

On the contrary, if you were the one who crafted the tools, your status in the village would rise accordingly.

After all, if such formidable equipment could be mass-produced, wouldn't everyone be able to kill Orochimaru in seconds?

Meanwhile, in the Hokage's office in Konoha Village.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's entire aged face was trembling with shock.

"No way... what is this? Some kind of ninja tool! Quickly, contact Tenten's father and have him come take a look!"

Just moments ago, the Hokage and a group of Konoha's high-ranking officials had been monitoring this battle.

When they realized that Orochimaru's strength was so formidable that he had nearly wiped out all of Konoha's promising young talents, the Hokage and the others had been itching to intervene personally. But just as they were about to set off, they discovered Uchiha Sora's bizarre methods.

With a single gun and a cannon, he had essentially dismembered Orochimaru on the spot, though it remained unclear whether Orochimaru was dead or not.

But even Kakashi and the Hokage himself would likely have to admit that such destructive power was beyond their own.

"The younger generation is truly formidable. I finally understand why Ibiki asked me for this child. With such methods, if these weapons were indeed invented by him, it wouldn't just be the Anbu—promoting him directly to Jonin would be well-deserved!"

As the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi understood just how important a powerful tool crafter was to the ninja world.

Beside him, Asuma's expression shifted repeatedly.

"The kid barely seemed to move or use chakra just now. Does this mean these tools are triggered physically?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked once again.

"What? You mean to say that anyone can use these things?"

Might Guy's jaw dropped.

"Doesn't that mean Lee and I could use them too?"

Kurenai, standing nearby, also wore a grave expression.

"This child has great talent. My suggestion is to protect him immediately. It would be best to fast-track him to Chunin and then recruit him into the Anbu for training!"

"It would be best to provide him with resources so he can continue his research."

Just then, an old man wrapped in bandages slowly emerged from behind the office door.

It was Danzo.

"Uchiha Sora, was it? Someone from the Uchiha clan with such high talent—why not let him come with me instead!"

The Hokage narrowed his eyes.

"No! He is still just a child; he cannot go with you to such a dark place."

After a moment of contemplation, the Hokage spoke.

"Let him pass the Chunin Exams on his own. If he succeeds, and if his inventions prove practical, we can establish a new department for him."

Hiruzen Sarutobi knew very well that Danzo was a dangerous element within the village.

Although he was also devoted to the village's interests, Danzo was, after all, an old official from the previous era, dating back to the time of the Second Hokage.

His way of thinking was inevitably twisted.

"Heh, is that so? Regardless, I suggest you go and take a look quickly—that guy is undoubtedly Orochimaru!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded.

"I can see that. Kakashi should have arrived by now; you don't need to worry about such matters!"

Danzo let out a cold snort, casting one last look at the crystal ball and Uchiha Sora before leaving.

It was clear he was reluctant to let go.

Meanwhile, at the Chunin Exams site, Kakashi and Anko Mitarashi stood on a large tree not far away.

They looked down at the deep crater blasted into the ground.

Smelling the acrid scent of burning in the air, both of them looked stunned.

"Oh my, this kid is really something. After he graduates, how about I take him under my wing?"

Anko was also filled with shock.

"What is that in the kid's hand? I've never seen it before. Could it be something he invented himself?"

As the two were speaking, a figure suddenly stepped out from a corner.

It was the proctor, Ibiki.

"Heh! If this kid doesn't join the Anbu, it would be a crime against nature!"

Ibiki had been watching the battle from afar the entire time.

As an Anbu, he was highly skilled at concealment.

His eyes were gleaming now, and he couldn't wait to snatch Uchiha Sora away immediately.

"By the way... is that Orochimaru? My teacher!"

Anko's expression turned sorrowful.

She looked at the corpses scattered across the ground below.

Although Anko understood that Orochimaru likely wouldn't die so easily.

"He shouldn't be dead. We must protect Uchiha Sora and his team immediately. For now, let's consider Uchiha Sora's team the winners of this exam."

Kakashi looked grave.

Ibiki agreed immediately.

"Absolutely! With the power he just displayed, even many Jonin couldn't compare. Promoting him is the most appropriate course of action!"

At this moment, Uchiha Sora had no idea he was being watched by the big shots.

Right now, he only knew that the system's mission had been completed.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission: Repel Orochimaru!"
