Earth Flow Rampart? A Mantis Trying to Stop a Chariot!

But in his eyes, there was a hint of amazement.

This boy is an absolute genius.

It must be admitted that even he in his prime was far inferior.

"In terms of seniority, you should call me 'Uncle-Master'?" Rikuto looked at him and said with a smile.

At the same time, he glanced intentionally or unintentionally at another female Anbu next to Kakashi, who had long purple hair and a slender figure.

They easily recognized the other person's identity.

"..." Kakashi.

The other members of the Anbu exchanged bewildered glances.

A moment later, it dawned on me.

Kakashi was once a student of the Fourth Hokage.

The Fourth Hokage was a disciple of Jiraiya, one of the "Sannin" and known as the "Mad Demon".

040. Chiya Rikuto is a disciple of Princess Tsunade, the "Princess of Konoha," who is also one of the "Sannin."

In terms of seniority, he really is Kakashi's uncle-master.

But if Jiraiya...

Hearing someone's hypocritical words would probably make me so angry I'd vomit blood.

Are we talking about seniority again now?

That's such a double standard!

"..."

After a long while, Kakashi still hadn't called out.

He just stood there, gazing at me with a melancholy look.

"What a boring guy..."

Rikuto pursed his lips, not paying any attention.

Looking at Tenzo opposite him, he said with a smile, "You seem quite unconvinced!"

"..."

Tenzo's eyelids twitched violently.

But she still had to swallow her anger and respond indifferently, "No!"

"Actually, Lord Hokage wanted to see my strength, he didn't need to go to such lengths..."

"Cough cough..."

Inside the Hokage's office.

He knew that Rikuto was referring to him.

The Third Hokage, sitting there, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Sending someone to secretly test the strength of one's grand-disciple is indeed somewhat dishonorable.

"However, we, the Chiya Rikuto, have always possessed a pure and kind heart, a deep respect for the elderly and love for the young, and we believe in winning people over with virtue in all things..."

Rikuto looked at the dozen or so Anbu before him, including Kakashi, and said with a smile, "Since it's his request, I naturally have to try my best to fulfill it..."

"All of you, come at me together!"

Chapter 113 Earth Flow Rampart? A Mantis Trying to Stop a Chariot! [Fourth Update]

"What!?"

Did I hear that right?

"You're going to challenge all of us?"

"Kid, aren't you being a bit too arrogant?"

"Do you think you can ignore us just because you've suppressed Squad Leader Tenzo?"

"Hey, kid, you're way too arrogant!"

"After all, every member of our Anbu is an elite selected from countless ninjas in Konoha!"

Upon hearing this...

Members of the Anbu.

I thought I had misheard.

He stared speechlessly at the Rikuto before him.

This kid is way too arrogant!

He actually dared to challenge them all?

It's important to know that each of them was an elite selected from the village.

Moreover, these members of the Anbu have undergone long-term rigorous training and are able to cooperate with each other in perfect harmony; it's not as simple as one plus one.

Even the Third Hokage might not be able to do that, right?

"This kid..."

Inside the Hokage's office.

The Third Hokage was somewhat surprised and uncertain.

Seeing that Rikuto actually dared to challenge Kakashi's entire Anbu squad, he increasingly leaned towards that suspicion. "Could it be that he really..."

But.

Thinking of Rikuto's boastful words just now.

The Third Hokage couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Pure and kind? Respectful to the elderly and caring for the young? Winning people over with virtue?

If the Hokage Rock hadn't crumbled, he almost would have believed it...

He's been paying attention to the other person for quite some time.

How come I never noticed this before?

Is this guy really that restless?

"Rikuto, it's only been half a year, and you've become far too arrogant, haven't you?"

At this time.

The female Anbu with long purple hair and wearing a strange animal mask stepped forward.

Looking at Rikuto in front of him, he said irritably, "Even though you're a genius, you can't be so arrogant!"

The sound was clear and pleasant.

But the scolding tone carried an unspoken concern.

They clearly knew Rikuto and were afraid that this ten-year-old genius would become too arrogant and be taught a lesson by the Anbu present.

"Sister Yugao, this isn't arrogance, this is strength..."

He stared at the female Anbu in front of him.

The Rikuto had recognized the other party long ago.

He shrugged and smiled, saying, "However, to avoid accidentally hurting you, please don't take it into consideration!"

Uzuki Yugao.

About six months ago.

The other party was on a classified mission.

They were pursued by Anbu squad from Iwagakure and sustained serious injuries.

When she was at her wit's end, she was rescued by Riku, who was traveling with Tsunade and happened to be passing by the Rikuto of the Land of Fire.

However, due to excessive blood loss, she was unconscious and did not witness Rikuto make a move.

It was only clear that Rikuto possessed remarkably advanced Medical Ninjutsu.

However, Rikuto, who had given her comprehensive treatment, knew very well that Uzuki Yugao was truly amazing!

Whether it's body shape or anything else.

"But..."

However.

Before Uzuki Yugao finish speaking...

"Just watch from the sidelines..."

Rikuto waved his hand, interrupting her.

He looked towards Tenzo and Kakashi, who were at the head of the group.

He beckoned with his finger and said, "Don't waste time, let's begin!"

He wouldn't mind showing these Anbu what a true powerhouse is!

After all, at this point, the only person in Konoha he could truly fear was...

Sorry, not a single one!

"..."

Seeing this.

Kakashi's lips twitched involuntarily beneath his mask.

In all his life, he had never seen anyone as arrogant as Rikuto.

Keep in mind that he brought with him a squad from the Anbu.

Including him, the Anbu Captain, and Tenzo, the squad leader, there were a total of eighteen people.

They were all elite ninjas who had been through countless battles and had rich combat experience.

Apart from a handful of relatively young individuals like Uchiha Itachi and Uzuki Yugao, who joined the Anbu at a young age, they were selected for training and development in the Anbu due to their outstanding individual performance. They can be considered Chunin the Anbu.

The rest were all at Special Jōnin level.

An Anbu squad, divided into four groups, totaling seventeen people.

Each class leader is a true Jonin player.

Furthermore, both he, the Anbu Captain, and Tenzo, the squad leader, are genuine elite Jonin.

Frankly speaking, even though he was already old, he was no longer the Third Hokage in his prime.

I doubt they would dare to be so presumptuous.

"Enough with the wishy-washy talk, let's just let the facts speak for themselves..."

Rikuto rolled his eyes.

He did a backward leap and landed on a tree trunk.

Looking down at the Anbu present, then at Tenzo beside Kakashi, he spoke calmly, "I imagine you're quite unhappy with my assessment of you just now, aren't you?"

"Then, I'll show you the real Wood Release!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

Rikuto stopped wasting words.

They gave these Anbu a little face and clapped their hands.

With a low shout, he cried out, "Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees!"

"What!?"

All of a sudden.
