"The brat from Konoha..." Toroi was dumbfounded, staring intently at Kazekaze below. He could never have dreamed that the situation on the field would change so drastically. His own Chunin, in the blink of an eye, were annihilated by Kazekaze!
His power.
His speed.
His chakra.
They could truly be described as terrifying!
And what was most frightening was that Kazekaze appeared to be only seven or eight years old! Although it was not unusual to send children of this age to the battlefield during the Warring States period, a genius with such strength at such a young age was unprecedented in Toroi's understanding.
Meanwhile… Uzumaki Weiming was pierced in the abdomen by a shuriken and fell to the ground. He pulled out the shuriken and stopped the bleeding. Hiruzen Sarutobi used Wind Release at a critical moment, forcing the shuriken flying towards him to deviate. He then concentrated his chakra on his feet, stepped on it, and used the reaction force to propel himself away.
Of course, the reason why Hiruzen was able to succeed was partly because Toroi did not expect Kazekaze to be so powerful, causing him to be stunned for a moment and lose control of his shuriken.
"Well done, Kazekaze." Hiruzen glanced back at Kazekaze and found that the several ninjas had all been dealt with by him, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If those ninjas and Toroi had formed a pincer attack, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"But no matter how many times I see it, I always feel that Kazekaze is like a monster..." Hiruzen swallowed hard, sighing in his heart. A seven-year-old Genin, single-handedly fighting against five well-trained Chunin, and killing them all effortlessly!
The most critical point was that no matter how much combat training was simulated, it was still different from real combat.
"Kazekaze not only has great strength, but also a large enough heart. Is that the grandson of the First Hokage?" Weiming was shocked. Dealing with five Chunin at the same time, he wasn't very confident about defeating them. If it weren't for Miss Yuna, he would most likely have retreated without looking back. Shaking off the enemy was the wise thing to do.
But… The grandson of the First Hokage easily defeated them! If he didn't know that Kazekaze was only seven years old, Weiming would definitely think he was a Jonin from Konoha.
"And what's with that bizarre speed? I can't catch it with my eyes at all..." In Weiming's view, Kazekaze's movement was clearly disappearing on the spot and then flashing to another location. It looked like a very advanced Body Flicker Technique.
But! Every time Kazekaze moved, he would stir up the air, creating an impact that hit the ground. This unconscious impact instantly shattered the ground! From the shattered ground, it could be determined that Kazekaze did not use any Body Flicker Technique. His movement speed was just too fast!
Weiming's eyes widened, and he sat on the ground, staring at Kazekaze's small body. At this moment, Weiming's understanding of Taijutsu completely collapsed!
In fact… After Tobirama Senju developed the Eight Gates, he found that no one could withstand the damage caused by this technique. So he listed it as a forbidden technique. Until... he found that Might Bai, through devilish training methods, had trained his muscular strength to an exaggerated level, and then passed on the Eight Gates to him.
Because of this, the entire ninja world did not know about the existence of the Eight Gates!
"How did Kazekaze do it..." Weiming's shock could not be calmed for a long time. He felt that Kazekaze was a monster. An anomaly!
But… He had to admit that Kazekaze now gave him a great sense of security. It seemed that as long as Kazekaze was here, Miss Yuna would be safe.
It took Toroi a long time to calm himself down. He asked Kazekaze in a low voice, "The technique you just used, it's Taijutsu, right?" For Toroi, he now felt that Kazekaze was more troublesome than Hiruzen. After all, he still had information on Hiruzen, knowing that he was an all-round ninja with five types of chakra.
And… He had transferred magnetization to Hiruzen through the shuriken. So Hiruzen was not a concern. The problem was Kazekaze. He knew nothing about him.
"That bizarre movement and terrifying power, if I get hit by him, I'm afraid my body won't be able to withstand it. I need to find a way to magnetize his body." However, just as Toroi was formulating a strategy to deal with Kazekaze, Kazekaze, who was firmly locked in his sight, suddenly disappeared.
Toroi's eyes widened, his heart pounded faster, and almost instinctively, he used the Body Flicker Technique to move to another location. He saw Kazekaze swing his fist in the air.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Toroi threw four shuriken at Kazekaze at the same time.
"Is this the power of a Jonin?" Kazekaze was quite surprised. Whether it was his speed or timing of attack, he thought it was impeccable. If it were Danzo, this punch would definitely decide the outcome.
But Toroi, he actually reacted!
"Damn." Hiruzen cursed under his breath. In order to hit Toroi, Kazekaze had jumped up from the ground. Now his body was in mid-air, with nothing under his feet to step on for movement. If he touched the shuriken, his body would be magnetized!
This was also the reason why Might Bai's Taijutsu was strong, but he was only a Chunin. Not every ninja relies on Taijutsu to determine the outcome!
In a hurry, Hiruzen quickly formed hand seals and used the Water Dragon Bullet to push Kazekaze away. But at this moment…
"Hiruzen, now is not the time to worry about others."
Toroi's voice rang in his ear, and Kunai was directly placed on his neck. Even though Hiruzen had responded in the best possible way, his abdomen was still solidly kicked.
And it was at this time that he realized that the Toroi standing behind him was actually a Lightning Clone Jutsu. His real body was preparing to deal with Kazekaze first.
"You are indeed the most terrifying brat from Konoha I've ever seen. If it weren't for my Kekkei Genkai, and the sharp intuition formed by hundreds of battles with enemies… I would never be your opponent. But your greatest misfortune is that you met me at this age. You won't have the chance to grow up!"
Toroi roared at Kazekaze, took out all his scrolls, and summoned countless shuriken from them. He circled some of them around himself, forming a perfect all-around defense with no openings. In this way, no matter how fast Kazekaze was, his fist could not hit him.
And...Toroi controlled hundreds of shuriken, raining them down towards Kazekaze. At the last moment…
"The Gate of Limit, open!"
