At this moment, time seemed to slow down infinitely.
Under the gaze of thousands of eyes, Senju Naoki’s youthful face showed no sign of nervousness.
He simply opened his mouth calmly, as if he were about to say something trivial.
However, what escaped his lips was a phrase that made the souls of every Uchiha Clan member present tremble.
“Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!!” (Katon, Goka Mekkyaku!)
The voice wasn’t loud—it was even somewhat childish—but the dominance and majesty it contained felt like an ancient demon god announcing his arrival!
As the system forced the name of the technique out, the world lost its color in the next second.
In everyone’s field of vision, only a vast, sky-covering crimson remained!
It was a terrifying sea of fire with a diameter exceeding fifty meters!
It wasn’t “spat” out like a fireball; instead, it was like a burst dam of lava, surging out frantically from Naoki’s small mouth in an unstoppable manner!
“BOOM—!!!”
The raging flames instantly swallowed half the playground.
The dry soil turned to charcoal the moment it touched the fire, and the air warped from the heat, emitting sharp crackling sounds.
A destructive heat wave swept out in all directions like a tsunami!
“Run!”
“He’s a monster!”
The students in the front row let out screams of extreme terror.
They even forgot they were Ninjas, leaving only their most primal survival instinct as they scrambled and crawled to flee to the rear.
The Ninja teachers responsible for maintaining order turned pale.
They frantically wove hand signs, attempting to use Earth Style: Mud Wall or Water Style: Water Wall to resist.
However, those hastily erected defenses were as fragile as paper before this B-rank Ninjutsu, which possessed power close to an S-rank Fire Release, and were instantly crushed!
Fortunately, the system had some restraint and angled the blast diagonally upward; however, the tallest school building…
The rolling heat waves lunged straight toward the school building in the back.
“Crack!
Bang!”
Row after row of window glass simply couldn’t withstand the terrifying aftermath of the high temperature and exploded one after another.
Shards of glass fell down like rain with a clatter.
At this moment, the entire Ninja Academy was on the verge of becoming a living hell.
And at the very center of this purgatory, the culprit, Senju Naoki, stood there quietly.
His small figure appeared incredibly tiny against the backdrop of the towering flames, yet it also seemed immensely grand.
The roaring fire became his most magnificent background, making him look like a young demon god stepping out of myth.
[Ding!
Detected that the host’s posture is not majestic enough.]
[Activating micro-expression and posture management…]
Naoki felt his body lose control once again.
His hands slowly rose, crossing over his chest.
His chin lifted slightly, and his lips curled into an uncontrollable arc of three parts mockery and seven parts disdain.
His messy white hair danced wildly in the heat wave, perfectly recreating “King’s Contempt” alongside his current expression.
Naoki was weeping inside.
System, you bastard!
What time is it?!
You’re still worried about whether my pose is cool?!
I’m about to be roasted alive!
And I can feel Grand-uncle!
That familiar, cold, murderous Chakra!
It’s over, it’s all over; this time I’m really going to be blasted onto the wall by a Water Dragon Bullet, and they won’t even be able to scrape me off!
Just as the fire was about to spread to the school building and cause even greater destruction at the critical moment.
“Whoosh!”
A blue figure appeared before the sea of fire in an instant, like a ghost.
The newcomer was none other than Senju Tobirama! Get faster updates on g.com.
At this moment, the Second Hokage’s face no longer held its usual composure and majesty; instead, it was replaced by a complex expression mixed with shock, anger, and a hint of absurdity.
He didn’t even have time to question Naoki because the sea of fire was already upon him!
“A Fire Release of this level…
are you kidding me!”
Tobirama’s eyes narrowed, and his hands instantly wove signs at a speed invisible to the naked eye!
“Water Style: Water Wall!”
He gave a low shout and slammed his palms onto the ground!
“BOOM—!!!”
The earth itself seemed to vibrate!
A massive, incredibly thick wall of water, taller than the school building, rose from the ground like a miracle and slammed into the crimson sea of fire with an invincible posture!
Water and fire, the two most fundamental and opposing forces in the Ninja World, collided violently at this moment!
“Sizzle—Sizzle sizzle—!!!”
The deafening sound made people’s eardrums ache.
A vast amount of water vapor instantly steamed up, forming a thick white mist that immediately enveloped the entire campus.
Within the steam, water and fire were still locked in a frantic struggle.
Tobirama’s Water Wall was being evaporated at a visible rate under the burning of the Great Fire Annihilation, while the flames of the Great Fire Annihilation were also being weakened and extinguished under the impact of the Water Wall.
Everyone was stunned by this scene, which looked like a battle between gods.
When had they ever seen such a terrifying Ninjutsu duel?
On one side was the world-renowned Water Release Grandmaster, the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama!
On the other side…
was his own grandson, a mere eight-year-old child!
This was no longer just a genius; this was a monster!
A freak of nature!
After an unknown amount of time, the deafening sizzling sound finally gradually subsided.
As the thick water vapor dissipated and the scene of the playground reappeared before everyone, they all sucked in a breath of cold air.
