Whoosh!
Swift as a gale!
The two figures instantly appeared behind Kyo, and then, simultaneously prepared to strike!
Their speed of movement even kicked up the surrounding dust.
It was only at this moment,
That Sakura beside them suddenly shook violently; she hadn't even reacted at all!
As her pupils slightly contracted, she was stunned in that instant!
And Kakashi nearby had an even graver expression. He raised his hands, ready to form hand seals at any moment to help Naruto and Sasuke.
He knew it was already too late to stop them now.
So he might as well take the opportunity to continue the previous plan and probe the information of this mysterious man!
At this moment,
On the other side,
The Sunagakure's group, who had not yet entered the exam venue, naturally all noticed this scene and quickly stopped to watch.
Each of their expressions was extremely grave.
In fact, regarding what Kyo had just said, they were probably the most convinced...
After all, they also knew that when a person's strength reached this level, there was simply no need to deceive people with lies...
Therefore,
This idiot-like Uzumaki Naruto might very well indeed be the son of that Fourth Hokage, the Yellow Flash!!
But at this moment, what concerned them more than this was-
Would this golden-eyed guy,
Really make a move here in Konoha now...?
Gaara's gaze also narrowed slightly.
...
In that instant, Naruto and Sasuke's figures were less than a meter away from Kyo, and they struck with grave expressions.
And at this moment,
Kyo ahead seemed not to notice,
He still maintained his leisurely pace, walking towards the exit.
"!"
Seeing this scene, Kakashi and the Sunagakure's group were all momentarily stunned.
'What's going on?!'
'Didn't he notice... or...?!'
However,
Just as they were thinking-
Suddenly, an unexpected change occurred!
Kyo ahead, although walking forward with his back to the two, suddenly raised his right hand.
Then, he casually and leisurely snapped his fingers.
Snap.
The crisp sound of the snap faded.
It seemed as if nothing had happened.
However, an instant later, all the onlookers were stunned!
Because at this moment,
Around Kyo, dazzling crimson lights instantly appeared, flickering like flames!
In an instant, they illuminated almost the entire plaza in crimson!
Reflections appeared in everyone's pupils!
And the next moment,
All the lights instantly converged, forming an enormous pillar of flame that burst forth directly towards Naruto and Sasuke!
Hado #31: Shakkaho!
Boom!!!
Its fierce speed was almost faster than sound!
It gave Naruto and Sasuke, who were about to attack, no time to react at all!
The two's hearts tightened instantly, their expressions shifting slightly. They subconsciously tried to leap away, but it was already too late!
Bang!!!!
The immense Shakkaho, carrying an incredibly fierce wind pressure, instantly struck their bodies without error!!
Their outstretched arms didn't even have time to retract before they were completely swallowed by that ocean-like crimson flame!!
The two, as if struck by a mountain-like force, were instantly sent flying by the fierce impact of the flames!!
Crashing solidly against a wall on the side!!
Thud-!!!
"...Arrgghh!!"
Their bodies directly emitted sounds of varying degrees of impact,
Letting out involuntary cries of pain, blood trickling from the corners of their mouths at the same time!!
Their clothes were also burnt beyond recognition upon contact with Shakkaho, ragged and torn!
The moment they landed, they were almost completely frozen in place!
Cold sweat, in an instant, covered their bodies!
Compared to the intense pain from their bodies, their hearts were even more horrified at this moment!
'I-Impossible!!'
'What was that red Fire Release...?!'
'How could there be such a strange Ninjutsu that could be activated without any hand seals...?!'
The two had clearly seen,
This Amegakure guy had only raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and that strange firelight had appeared abruptly!
Giving them no time to react at all!!
"D-Damn it...!!"
Naruto gritted his teeth tightly. Despite the intense pain throughout his body, he still tried to stand up through sheer willpower.
Sasuke beside him also looked grim, trying to get up from the rubble.
But just at this moment,
Another unexpected change occurred.
Kyo ahead suddenly stopped, then turned around.
His expression remained extremely calm, just smiling lightly at Naruto and Sasuke, and speaking with a smile:
"Since you two don't plan on taking the exam, there's no need to get up, right?"
"Stay here, how about it?"
The moment his words faded, without giving anyone present a chance to react, he suddenly raised his hand again with a smile.
Then, another snap, exactly the same as before.
Snap.
The moment the snap faded,
Whoosh!
Countless dazzling golden rays suddenly appeared!
Then, they burst forth entirely from Kyo's palm!
The next moment, all the golden rays began to intertwine and weave, forming something like a giant net, rushing towards Naruto and Sasuke!
Its extreme speed, almost surpassing lightning, gave people no time to react!
Shink!!
The net of golden rays touched the two's bodies in an instant,
Then, quickly bound around their limbs and torsos, completely binding their bodies, sealing them in an instant!!
The two's pupils contracted sharply. They had no time to form hand seals and immediately felt a powerful sense of pressure from the rays!
Bam!!
The bodies of Naruto and Sasuke were pulled by this net of rays and instantly slammed violently into each other!!
Boom!!!
The residual impact of the light net immediately stirred up a gale around them, violently affecting the surrounding plaza!
Bam!!
Dust and sand flew everywhere!
Countless people's clothes fluttered loudly!
It was even hard to open their eyes!
And within the area, there seemed to be lingering echoes of the storm!
It was only at this moment that a faint utterance came from Kyo's mouth in the distance-
"Bakudo #9: Geki."
"...!!"
At this moment,
The entire place instantly fell into dead silence!
The atmosphere was as if frozen, freezing the expressions of everyone present!!
The Shinobi who witnessed the whole process, including Kakashi and Shikaku, all widened their eyes, pupils contracted sharply, and couldn't help but suck in cold breaths.
'Hisss...'
'W-What's going on?!'
'What were those two bizarre techniques...?!'
'Why... couldn't I see any hand seal process at all!!'
'N-No... that's not it!'
'From the very beginning, this guy seemed to have never formed hand seals at all!!'
'He just snapped his fingers twice, that's all!'
'But...'
'How is this possible?!'
'Finger snaps... can also form hand seals???!'
'Nonsense!'
'And,'
'This guy looked so casual and lackadaisical...'
'But how could he unleash attacks of such immense power?!'
'Also,'
'What technique were those golden rays that flew from his palm just now?!'
'They could bind people to this degree in an instant?!'
'Was it some kind of secret technique?!'
'Or perhaps... a Kekkei Genkai?!'
'Such technique is simply unheard of...!'
Everyone felt a chill rise within them.
Even Kakashi, the number one technician of Konoha, couldn't help but change expression drastically at this moment, his breath completely caught!
And the Sunagakure's group in the distance also trembled in their hearts!
'Th-That's right!'
'This was the feeling back then!!'
'Back then, it was also this kind of terrifying Ninjutsu released without hand seals... that oneshot the Fourth Kazekage-sama!!'
At this moment,
Even Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara were momentarily stunned.
They finally understood somewhat what the Shinobi in the village had meant by their words back then...
This guy's attacks... are too bizarre!!
Just watching from the side, it felt as if it contained the power to oppress the soul, making it almost suffocating!
Even more terrifying was that until now,
This guy still gave the impression of playing around nonchalantly...!
From beginning to end, he hadn't used his full power at all!
No, that's not it,
It could even be said... he hadn't fought seriously at all!!
This power,
For him, seemed as easy as breathing...!
Realizing this,
The Sunagakure's group felt an even deeper chill down their spines.
And at this moment,
Sakura, standing beside Kakashi, suddenly realized the gravity of the situation, her expression changing drastically in an instant.
Then, gritting her teeth, she quickly ran towards Naruto and Sasuke ahead, shouting anxiously:
"Sasuke!!! Naruto!!"
However,
When she rushed over, she saw,
Naruto and Sasuke were already completely sealed by those golden rays, bound back-to-back tightly together, as if kidnapped.
...
And on this side,
Kakashi's gaze also turned to Kyo ahead. He gritted his teeth slightly, his eye narrowed.
Even though probe had gone this far,
Kakashi had completely realized-
This guy hadn't been serious for even a single second...!
Even when he released that terrifying red Fire Release just now, the moment it was released, its power seemed to suddenly diminish sharply!
That is to say... he was very likely deliberately holding back!
Realizing this,
Kakashi's expression became even grimmer.
Without a doubt!
This Amegakure guy was countless times more difficult than previously imagined!
Even using the power of the Sharingan,
He might not be able to achieve a fifty-fifty fight with this guy if he got serious!
This probe plan...
Was too hasty!
