“Flip a coin?”
The battlefield fell completely silent.
The Konoha shinobi:
“…”
Rasa:
“…”
This was a life-or-death battle, and Yagami Yue actually had the leisure to flip a coin?
Rasa was especially furious.
His proudest technique, Gold Dust Grand Burial, had failed to seriously injure Yagami Yue.
And now Yue was standing right in front of him talking about flipping a coin.
Was he looking down on him?
Was he, the Fourth Kazekage, being treated like a joke?
And if word of this spread, wouldn’t he become the laughingstock of the entire shinobi world?
“Damn you!
You’ve successfully angered me.
I will—”
Before Rasa could finish speaking, his throat seemed to seize up.
Yagami Yue tossed the coin into the air.
The coin spun rapidly.
Then Yue raised his hand and aimed it upward.
Within his perception, an enormous amount of energy began rapidly gathering in his hand.
It was similar to Lightning Release.
The next second—
Rasa’s heart seemed to skip a beat.
An immense sense of danger enveloped him.
Every hair on his body stood on end.
“Not good!”
He tried to dodge immediately.
But—
It was too late!
SHOOOOOOOM—!
A thunderous roar that completely surpassed normal reaction speed erupted.
A beam of white light instantly shot forward.
Rasa didn’t even have time to react.
BOOM!!!
The air itself seemed to burn.
The surrounding atmosphere violently vibrated.
The golden cloud beneath Rasa’s feet was instantly blasted apart in midair, scattering like fireworks.
And Rasa— felt an overwhelming and terrifying force slam directly into him.
Pfft!
Blood erupted from Rasa’s mouth.
The Fourth Kazekage was seriously injured.
Wrapped in burning air, it shot straight into the sky.
It continued upward for hundreds of meters before finally dissipating.
It was just after dawn.
The sky was still somewhat dark.
Against that dim background, the beam looked like a shooting star.
Its terrifying power and dazzling brilliance illuminated the entire battlefield.
For a moment—
The entire battlefield seemed to freeze.
One shinobi after another stared blankly at the streak of light.
Even those who had been fighting stopped in shock.
“What kind of ninjutsu is that?”
“It looks terrifying!”
“Is that an S-rank ninjutsu?
Why have I never heard of it before?”
“The Fourth Kazekage… seems to have been defeated.”
Even Orochimaru and Chiyo stopped their fighting.
Everyone’s attention turned toward the person responsible.
Yagami Yue.
Tiny arcs of electricity crackled around his body.
At that moment, in the eyes of the countless shinobi watching him, Yue appeared mysterious and overwhelmingly powerful.
That was the Kazekage!
A Kage-level powerhouse!
And he had actually been defeated like this?
Unbelievable.
Impossible to imagine.
Shock.
Astonishment.
Disbelief.
“Retreat!”
The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, was still spitting blood as he unwillingly shouted the order.
He felt as though his internal organs had been displaced.
If the battle continued, there was a real possibility that he would die here.
Rasa was frightened.
Yagami Yue’s abilities were simply his natural counter.
He had been completely suppressed.
And on the other side, Chiyo couldn’t gain an advantage because Orochimaru was present.
They had no choice but to retreat.
Following the Fourth Kazekage’s order, the Sand shinobi on the battlefield also began withdrawing.
They had witnessed their Kazekage being defeated by Yagami Yue.
Their morale was already collapsing.
The moment Rasa gave the order, they fled the battlefield as quickly as possible.
Orochimaru did not order a pursuit.
Instead, he quickly arrived beside Yagami Yue and looked at him with considerable interest. Find the original chapter at g.com.
“How was it?”
“Not bad.”
Yagami Yue forced down the weakness spreading through his body and grinned.
At this moment, his body felt almost completely drained.
The Railgun was extraordinarily powerful.
But its energy consumption was equally enormous.
On top of that, Yue had already spent a tremendous amount of energy controlling the gold dust to defend against Rasa’s techniques.
His chakra had been completely exhausted.
“You’re quite impressive.”
Orochimaru suddenly smiled.
“Would you be interested in becoming my assistant?”
His hoarse voice was always enough to send a chill down one’s spine.
“I’ll think about it.”
Yagami Yue was silent for a moment before answering.
“Very well.”
Orochimaru gave a sinister chuckle before returning to organize the losses from the battle.
Yagami Yue found a place to sit down and began cultivating to restore his chakra.
This battle had brought him enormous gains.
He had saved a large number of Konoha shinobi and earned their gratitude.
Then he had seriously injured the Fourth Kazekage.
The news of this battle would undoubtedly spread throughout the shinobi world soon.
A mere chūnin had seriously injured a Kage.
That was absolutely something that could become a legendary event in the history of the shinobi world.
By then, his reputation would probably increase by an enormous amount.
The feeling of rising to prominence by stepping on the Kazekage was excellent.
And after this battle—
Yagami Yue’s plans had advanced another step.
…
…
Sure enough, in less than three days, the news that Yagami Yue had seriously injured the Kazekage spread throughout the entire shinobi world.
The entire ninja world exploded.
Completely exploded.
A chūnin had seriously injured a Kage-level shinobi!
It was unprecedented!
Yagami Yue’s super-scale technique was immediately placed on the desks of the higher-ups of numerous villages and countries.
“Fire Release?”
“Lightning Release?”
“Earth Release?”
“A shooting star?”
Before long, a new title for Yagami Yue was born.
The Konoha Shooting Star!
The title was even more impressive than The Beast Sword God.
And, in Yagami Yue’s opinion—
It sounded much cooler.
