Chapter 86: Endless Golden Light! Kazuya: I Have a Bold Idea!
The buzzing sound it produced was like a tremor in one's very soul.
This was terrifying!
At that moment…
Shisui watched as…
A terrifying chakra sphere formed in Kazuya-senpai's hand!
Inside that sphere was an enormous amount of chakra, compacted and spinning so wildly it was causing shockwaves in the air!!!
Then…
The chakra sphere began to take on the form of a shuriken, a terrifying spinning energy construct.
It spun and roared!
"This…"
"What kind of jutsu is that?!"
In his crimson Sharingan, Shisui's gaze flickered between awe and terror.
He swore that this was the most terrifying jutsu he had ever seen—no question about it!
Boom!
Boom!
With an explosive roar, Kazuya hurled the spiraling shuriken from his hand.
"Wind Style!"
"Rasenshuriken!"
The Rasenshuriken didn't need aiming. It followed the flow of the wind and shot straight toward the Baku.
BOOM!!!
In an instant, it hit its target.
Then!
As the Rasenshuriken made contact with the Baku, it began to expand into a violent tornado!
The storm howled and swirled!
Countless razor-sharp blasts of energy instantly shredded the massive Baku's defenses.
"What?!"
Danzo, standing nearby, finally showed a hint of fear.
The moment the Rasenshuriken flew toward them, he sensed danger.
He began retreating frantically.
But the Baku, along with the nearby Root shinobi who hadn't fled in time, weren't as lucky!
As the tornado of energy expanded, they were completely engulfed.
BOOM!
BOOM!
Ear-splitting explosions echoed.
Under the horrified gazes of countless shinobi, the massive beast Baku was torn apart by the cyclone of Rasenshuriken!
RUMBLE!
Up in the sky!
A violent blast shot upward!
White light exploded!
BOOM!
With a final thundering blast, the forest around them was leveled, leaving a massive crater over fifty meters in diameter at the Rasen shuriken's point of impact!!!
In the crater…
Countless threads of Wind Release chakra continued to explode and hum.
Deafening!
Earth-shattering!
Terrifying enough to make you tremble!
At that moment, some Konoha ninjas with weaker mental strength collapsed, their legs buckling beneath them in sheer panic. If they had been a second slower, they too would have been caught in the destruction, torn to shreds without a trace left of them.
"This is..."
"A Wind Release Jutsu?!?"
Even the experienced Danzo Shimura recognized the technique. Despite his expertise, he was left utterly speechless. Danzo prided himself on being the strongest Wind Release user in the ninja world, yet even he had never mastered a Wind Release jutsu of such devastating power!
This move was as destructive as a Tailed Beast Bomb!
If Danzo was stunned, the Root members around him were terrified.
Even the coldest of killing machines feel fear when faced with an opponent of overwhelming strength—especially when that opponent is Kazuya Nohara, the invincible leader of the ANBU who had single-handedly taken down a Jinchuriki!
The remaining thirty or so Root ninjas clustered around Danzo. But the look in their eyes as they stared at Kazuya was one of helpless terror, as if facing an unstoppable force.
Fighting this monstrous enemy would leave them with nothing but a shattered corpse!
"Damn it…"
"When did Kazuya Nohara get so strong?!"
Danzo's expression turned dark in an instant, his heart bleeding with frustration. That terrifying Wind Release jutsu didn't just obliterate his summoning beast, Baku—it also wiped out over twenty of his Root ninjas in one blow!
These Root ninjas weren't easy to replace. Danzo had spent years and countless resources cultivating them into loyal soldiers. Each one of them, especially those at the Jonin level, represented an investment of immense time and energy.
But in a single instant, he had lost dozens of his elite!
His heart was practically bleeding.
Now, as Danzo looked at Kazuya, his gaze had changed completely. This young man had grown into something far beyond what he had imagined!
[You collected 2000 Chakra points]
[You collected 2000 Chakra points]
[You collected 600 Chakra points]
[You collected 800 Chakra points]
[You collected 500 Chakra points]
[You collected 500 Chakra points]
Golden lights continuously shot towards Kazuya from the bodies of the slain Baku and the fallen Root ninjas.
In just a moment, Kazuya had collected over fifteen thousand Chakra points.
It was an incredible harvest—though unfortunately, a one-time gain.
"Damn Danzo…"
Kazuya's expression was helpless.
If it weren't for Danzo forcing him to unleash such a powerful move, these Root ninjas could have kept on being a steady source of energy, constantly dropping golden lights!
Killing them all at once was a bit wasteful.
Still, gaining over fifteen thousand Chakra points in one go wasn't bad at all.
"It seems that killing a summoning beast yields far better rewards than killing regular ninjas," he thought to himself.
While a typical Jonin might only yield a few hundred Chakra points upon defeat, the Baku had dropped a full 4000!
Suddenly, Kazuya had a bold idea. If he could wipe out the three Great Summoning Lands—Mount Myoboku, Shikkotsu Forest, and Ryuchi Cave—he could potentially collect a massive amount of Chakra.
It might be worth trying.
After all, those summoning beasts live in different dimensions, making it impossible to regularly farm them for points.
So wiping them out in one go wouldn't be a bad strategy.
Kazuya's gains from this battle had already been astounding.
He now had maxed-out Wind Release talent, the S-rank Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, and a total of 50,000 Chakra points!
Now, Kazuya's Chakra stats read: Chakra: LV5 (327,900/1,000,000)
Super-Kage level!
320,000!
That's a monstrous number!
Currently, there were only a few people in Konoha who could even stand a chance against him.
And even then, Kazuya would still win. His strength was in a league of its own!
It was a terrifying surge in power.
The battlefield was silent.
In the face of Kazuya's terrifying Rasenshuriken, neither side dared to make a move. Even Danzo was on edge, fearful that any rash action would result in him getting disintegrated by another Rasenshuriken.
After all, Danzo was very much afraid of dying.
At that moment, Kazuya suddenly sensed several powerful Chakra signatures approaching from the distance.
In the next instant, he staggered slightly, feigning weakness.
"Kazuya-senpai!"
"Kazuya-sama!"
Shisui and Itachi hurried over to support him.
Sigh…
Kazuya sighed silently.
If only Kurenai were here!
After a big battle, having someone soft and warm by his side would feel nice. Even Yūgao would do—flat-chested or not, at least she's a girl.
Too bad…
While Kazuya was lost in these thoughts, multiple figures swiftly appeared from the distance.
Suddenly, a stern, angry voice filled the air.
