Chapter 201: Shocked Cloud Ninjas

The sharply increased chakra from the Eight Gates, combined with the extremely strong physique from Total Concentration Breathing, caused the aura around Might Gai to suddenly surge.

"Impossible, was that not his full strength just now?" Beroka looked in disbelief at the erupting Might Gai.

He felt that even if he had started training before being born, he couldn't be any stronger.

But reality would not change because of Beroka's thoughts. With his extreme speed, Might Gai instantly rushed in front of Beroka and fiercely punched out.

Beroka couldn't react at all. He only saw Might Gai move, and the next moment he was right in front of him.

Bang!

Under Might Gai's powerful punch, Beroka was instantly sent flying backward.

"Why is he so fast and so strong?" The knocked-back Beroka couldn't help but have this question in his mind.

He cultivated Lightning Release Body Reinforcement to strengthen his body, and he was a naturally strong person from the Land of Lightning. Yet he was being crushed in physical strength by a child not even ten years old. He couldn't understand why.

"Leaf Strong Whirlwind!"

Might Gai didn't leave Beroka any more time to doubt his life. After the punch sent him flying, Might Gai exploded with power, leaped rapidly, and kicked a whirlwind kick at Beroka.

Boom!!

The immense force struck Beroka's body. His eyes flew wide open, his pupils dilated extremely, and his entire body shot out like a cannonball, crashing through one tree after another until he fell unconscious.

"Successfully dealt with!" Might Gai couldn't help but laugh loudly and gave himself a thumbs up.

While Might Gai quickly disposed of his opponent, Obito also went all out.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Obito quickly formed hand seals, opened his mouth, and spat out a huge fireball over three meters tall, hurtling toward Hairo.

"To use such a Fire Release at this age, have I run into some kind of genius team?" Looking at the menacing giant fireball, Hairo was very surprised.

First Beroka was kicked flying by that kid in the green jumpsuit, and now this silly-looking kid with goggles used a powerful Fire Release. Hairo felt something was not right.

The Great Fireball wasn't very fast, so Hairo had no intention of taking it head-on. He immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to try to dodge.

Swish, swish, swish!!

After using the Fire Release, Obito immediately threw out a large number of shuriken to block one escape route.

Seeing the incoming shuriken, Hairo didn't hesitate and immediately changed direction.

The fireball hit the ground, leaving a scorched black crater, but Hairo had no time to care about the aftermath of the Fire Release because Obito was charging at him.

"Breath of Flame, Total Concentration Breathing!" Obito directly unleashed the power of the Breathing Technique and rushed in.

Seeing that Obito, a ninja specialized in ninjutsu, actually dared to charge in, Hairo was overjoyed. At this age, he had already trained Fire Release to such a level; there was no way his taijutsu could be strong too, right?

Slap! Bang!

The two engaged in fierce close-quarters taijutsu combat.

But what Hairo didn't expect was that Obito's strength and speed were no worse than his, a grown ninja.

In fact, because Obito had seized the initiative, he was even suppressing Hairo.

"These enemies seem a bit weak," Obito muttered to himself.

He felt his ninjutsu was okay, and his taijutsu was just average. He charged in hoping to find an opportunity to surprise attack with Phoenix Flower Claw Crimson, but instead he ended up suppressing the opponent. That caught him off guard.

Obito really wasn't used to this. In training battles, he was usually the one on the losing end in taijutsu exchanges.

Hairo heard Obito's words and couldn't hold it together. Being called weak to his face, and by a child less than ten years old.

"Damn brat, let me show you the true strength of us Kumogakure ninja!" Enraged, Hairo no longer cared about chakra consumption and directly threw various Lightning Release Body Reinforcement techniques at him.

Lightning Release Body Reinforcement techniques consume a lot of chakra because basically all of Kumogakure's Lightning Release Body Reinforcement techniques require activating the body, which means while condensing lightning externally, chakra must also be consumed internally.

Of course, high consumption also means high output. The destructive power of Lightning Release Body Reinforcement techniques is top-notch.

Even after using Lightning Release Body Reinforcement, in Obito's eyes, Hairo was still inferior to Might Gai with Rock Breathing plus the Eight Gates.

Easily dodging Hairo's attack with Shave, Obito seized on a flaw in Hairo's defense, formed hand seals with one hand behind his back, and quickly threw out four flaming kunai.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Claw Crimson!"

【】

The kunai with orange-red flames swiftly pierced through the air and reached Hairo.

"Impossible—he didn't even make hand signs!" Hairo, unable to dodge in time, was full of shock. He hadn't seen Obito form any seals, yet he had used such a high-level Fire Release.

Boom!!

A violent explosion sounded, and thick flames engulfed Hairo. After the flames and explosion smoke dissipated, Obito stepped forward to check the situation and found that Hairo was already dead.

Four kunai were stuck in Hairo's chest, and his entire body bore severe burn marks.

Although he no longer had any breath, Hairo's eyes were still wide open, maintaining a shocked expression.

"This technique finally came in handy," Obito couldn't help but comment.

Back when he practiced the one-handed seal version of Hiding in Ash and Scarlet Flower, he had really spent a huge amount of effort, but during regular training and sparring, it had hardly been of any great use—just slightly better than the Great Fireball, which only serves to force movement.

Having dealt with the enemy he was responsible for, Obito noticed that Might Guy's enemy was also taken care of, leaving only the enemy that Kakashi was handling, who was still fiercely battling Kakashi.

Kakashi's swordsmanship was sharp, and his opponent Iraka also possessed an impressive Lightning Release swordsmanship. Blue lightning covered the blade, and every slash was full of power, forcing Kakashi to avoid clashing head-on, momentarily putting him at a disadvantage.

"Kakashi, you're so slow—Akai and I are already done," Obito said with a grin, his body tensed, ready to rush in and help Kakashi at any moment.

"Stop talking nonsense and come help quickly—this guy is stronger than expected," Kakashi said rapidly while dodging.

Kakashi had no intention of taking him on alone; if a group fight could solve it safely, why stubbornly insist on a one-on-one?

"Leaf Whirlwind!"

Might Guy instantly burst in from the side and kicked a whirlwind kick, forcing Iraka to stop his attack and dodge.

"Three geniuses, huh? What bad luck," Iraka muttered to himself, feeling unlucky.

He did not think his teammates were too weak; instead, he felt that Kakashi and the others were too strong.

He knew his own teammates' strength all too well—they were all experienced chunin, and yet they had been taken care of so quickly.

"At least I'll take one down with me!" Iraka hardened his resolve. Escape would be difficult, so even in death he would drag someone down with him. Taking out one Leaf genius wouldn't be a loss, and if he could injure even more, it would all be profit.
