Konoha: Starting with the Tenseigan and Taking Charge of Team 7

"Ridiculous."

"Let me show you what true Kage Level strength looks like, brat. Those strange Kekkei Genkai of yours will become part of my power!"

Kakuzu's body shuddered as he unleashed a vast surge of Chakra. Cracks spread across the ground around him. The sheer force of it filled everyone on Team 7 with fear.

Sakura Haruno went pale. Her legs gave out, and she dropped to the ground, staring at Kakuzu and his immense Chakra in disbelief.

"Th-that Chakra is terrifying... How could Teacher Cangyue call someone this scary weak?"

Was Kakuzu weak?

Impossible!

The Chakra Kakuzu unleashed far surpassed the Third Hokage's. It was even more frightening than Hidan's!

And Teacher Cangyue had called him weak?

Unbelievable!

"So strong... Just releasing his Chakra is enough to do this?" Sasuke Uchiha's expression changed as he stared at Kakuzu in disbelief.

Tenseigan—Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!

"Damn it!" Sasuke Uchiha slammed his fist into the ground, his face dark with anger. His eyes shifted into the Two-Tomoe Sharingan.

First there had been the A-Rank Missing-nin known as the Demon of Kirigakure, then Yuki Haku with his Ice Release, and Rock Lee opening four gates during the tournament.

Then Gaara with his Tailed Beast power, Hidan who could not die, and now Kakuzu, whose Chakra alone inspired dread.

Everyone I meet is stronger than me. One after another, they show off their power right in front of me.

Damn it!

To hell with all of them!

At first, he had thought the Demon of Kirigakure represented the ceiling of a Ninja's strength. But there was always someone stronger, and every time, he encountered a more powerful enemy.

His pride could not bear being weaker than others.

"An S-Rank Missing-nin... Uchiha Itachi is one too, isn't he?" Sasuke Uchiha fixed his Two-Tomoe Sharingan
