I'm in Konoha, and I have ten skill slots.

Of course, Shigure's talent is indeed noteworthy, but it's not enough for a mere Kage to kidnap him!

Thinking about this, the Konoha ninjas felt their brains were a bit overwhelmed.

But at that moment, Mei Terumi's chakra suddenly fluctuated violently.

Shigure stood still, the ground around her still freezing.

Even without Shi Yu's deliberate control, the cold air continued to cause the frost on the surrounding ground to gradually thicken.

"Little Shigure, since you like the cold so much, then I'll melt your heart with a passionate kiss!"

Forehead!

Shigure's expression was a little off.

『First Release』

This woman said this kind of thing while fighting, is she playing that perverted game?!

Melt Escape!

Suddenly, a huge lava fireball materialized in front of Mei Terumi.

Upon seeing this, Shigure paused, "Lava? Does Mei Terumi still know how to use Lava Release?"

[Great Sage: Analysis, Mei Kagemitsu, the chakra nature transformations of Lava Release and Lava Release are the same. One enhances corrosiveness, hence the name Lava Release, while the other retains intense heat, hence the name Lava Release.]

One escape technique with two variations.

As expected of a shadow!

But Mei Terumi's technique right now is probably quite powerful!

Shi Yu immediately raised her hand to form a hand seal.

Although it's possible to do it without hand seals, I always feel that hand seals might be more powerful.

Ice Release!

Since the opponent used Lava Release to deal with him, Shigure now has no choice but to use Ice Release.

Furthermore, this Ice Release technique is not Shigure's Ice Release technique—it's a technique that allows for the arbitrary creation of ice and snow.

This time, I'm actually using other ice-style ninjutsu.

With the added chill of Ice Release: Frozen Time and Ice and Snow Control, the power of Ice Release ninjutsu under these circumstances is no small feat.

The next second, ice crystals suddenly rose from the ground behind Shigure, while all the ninjas were still marveling at the sudden storm of cold air that had swept around Shigure.

A huge figure appeared directly.

"Ice Release: One-Horned White Whale!"

The enormous whale seemed to leap from the seabed, performing a spectacular leap on the surface!

Its long, single horn flew straight toward Mei Terumi in the distance.

The sudden chill, like floating waves on the sea, drifted slowly around the beluga whale.

The appearance of a beluga whale also caught Mei Terumi's eye.

'He even has stronger moves! No wonder he's the kid I've chosen; I wonder how strong he'll be when he grows up!'

boom!

The magma fireball expanded and crashed directly into the beluga whale.

Like a meteorite falling from the sky, the beluga whale also waved its flippers, and the powerful cold air caused countless crystals to appear out of thin air around the beluga whale.

Then, carrying billowing cold air, the beluga whale and the meteorite collided violently.

The next second, a deafening explosion rang out.

The storm swept out instantly, and buildings within a 50-meter radius were wiped out in a flash.

All the houses collapsed and were covered alternately by frost and lava, sometimes melting and sometimes freezing.

Shi Yu stared at the cold wind, feeling the high temperature heat mixed in with it.

The clash between Ice Release and Lava Release would probably result in a draw in terms of power!

In the Chunin Exams venue.

Naruto looked up at the white smoke that seemed to be rising into the sky in the distance, and he could vaguely see ice crystals shimmering and lava splashing.

'Shigure is fighting Kage right now! The commotion is terrifying!'

Sasuke: 'Don't be defeated so easily. The only one who can defeat you is me!'

Meanwhile, on the rooftop, the Four Purple Flame Formation had been activated. Orochimaru, watching the commotion in the distance, thought, "I never expected that a mere genin brat couldn't even easily defeat a Kage!"

"Teacher, you are so lucky! You've found such a wonderful treasure!"

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen looked at Orochimaru and asked, "Orochimaru, what do you want to do? Are you after Shigure?"

"Of course not, you're my target!"

Was it aimed at me? Why would the Shadow attack Shigure?

Hiruzen wanted to ask again, but the next second...

An even more terrifying wave of chakra erupted in Konoha.

The mere fluctuation of chakra burst easily destroyed a large area.

The strong winds brought sand and gravel flying everywhere.

A huge figure appeared in the north of Konoha, the same direction in which Gaara had been taken away.

Hiruzen's face instantly turned ashen.

'Oops! ’

'Tailed Beasts...'

"Teacher, do you still have the mind to pay attention to other things right now?"

"Don't get distracted! Otherwise you might... die!"

Orochimaru's voice rang out, and at the same time, a rapid whooshing sound came.

The ANBU ninjas outside immediately shouted at Hiruzen, "Hokage-sama, watch out!"

"Hahaha! I'm finally out!"

A roar that resounded throughout Konoha was heard, and at that moment Shigure looked in that direction.

"That's... Shukaku!"

She turned around and looked at Mei Terumi walking slowly towards her.

Mei Terumi also noticed Shukaku. "Oh my! It seems that Sunagakure is determined to destroy Konoha this time!"

"They even used a Jinchūriki!"

Mei Terumi looked at the anxiety in Shigure's eyes.

"You want to stop the Tailed Beast? Shigure, you don't have time to worry about that right now!"

If the One-Tailed Beast goes berserk and is allowed to wreak havoc in Konoha, it won't be long before Konoha becomes a ruin.

At the same time, Shigure had never thought that Shukaku would actually appear, but now the situation has changed dramatically.

The tailed beasts have finally appeared; missing this opportunity would be too difficult.

Shigure looked towards Terumi Mei!

"Let our battle end here!"

Mei Terumi smiled: "Unless you agree to come back to Kirigakure with me, I won't stop!"

Chapter 159 Enveloped in Mist, Isolating Everything

Is this considered a disguised way of threatening me?

Shi Yu smiled.

An opportunity to have a tailed beast appear is hard to come by, although dealing with Mei Terumi is not an easy task.

However, escaping wouldn't be too difficult for Shigure either!

Shigure smiled as he looked at Terumi Mei in front of him.

Then his body transformed into a stream and vanished instantly, leaving countless lines flashing through the air.

It instantly covered a distance of fifty or sixty meters.

The moment her body reformed, Mei Terumi sneered, "Trying to run?"

Instantaneous technique!

They chased after them directly, and at the same time, a sweeping sound rang out as a dragon was gathering and pursuing Shigure's direction.
