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

Seeing how casually she left, Shi Yu was stunned and wondered why she had stopped fighting!

'Sealing technique! A strange escape technique... truly a genius, a prodigy capable of supporting an entire village!'

Mei Terumi smiled as she spoke, "Kirigakure needs such a prodigy, but Konoha might not!"

Chapter 163 Shigure arrives and dismantles the Four Purple Flame Formation

Mei Terumi left, and Shigure was somewhat confused as to why this woman had suddenly given up!

Weren't you so determined before, vowing not to give up until you brought me back to Kirigakure?

Why did you suddenly give up? This change of heart is too fast.

But in any case, it's best if Mei Terumi doesn't cause him any trouble, and Shigure doesn't need to spend extra time dealing with this woman.

If we rush to the Third Hokage's location now, there's still time to analyze the Wood Release!

'Somersault Cloud!'

In an instant, Shigure stepped on the clouds and sped towards Hiruzen Sarutobi's location.

Mei Terumi smiled as she watched Shigure rushing towards the Chunin Exams venue overhead.

'Kid...go for it! Show off your skills, the more extraordinary the better.'

As she spoke, a smile appeared on Mei Terumi's face.

It only took a few breaths to get to the venue on a somersault cloud.

At this moment, a large number of Konoha ninjas have gathered on the roof, including Kakashi and Might Guy!

Shigure appeared, descending from the sky on his Flying Cloud. The moment he landed, Kakashi and Guy stared wide-eyed at him.

Kakashi: "What kind of ninjutsu is that now?"

"A secret technique! I developed it myself. What's going on here, Kakashi-sensei?"

Shigure gave a casual, perfunctory answer. Seeing that Shigure didn't want to say too much, Kakashi didn't ask any further questions. What was important now was not Shigure's secret technique, but the Third Hokage.

Furthermore, given Shigure's talent, it wouldn't be too surprising if he developed some kind of secret technique.

However, Shigure's technique, which allows people to fly, is indeed quite powerful!

"This is a barrier. Once the Four Purple Flame Array is touched, it will be burned to ashes by the purple flames!"

"We can't break the barrier right now, and the Third Hokage's situation is not good!"

Kakashi explained the current situation to Shigure.

The surrounding Anbu ninjas glanced at Shigure. Although Shigure was incredibly talented, he couldn't possibly be of any help in the current situation.

Why did Kakashi-senpai have to explain it so clearly to him?

"How about it? Is there any way?"

Kakashi suddenly asked a question, which startled the surrounding Anbu ninjas.

Do you really expect such a lowly ninja to be able to do anything?

Although this genin kid is very talented, this kind of thing can't be solved just by being talented!

Furthermore, there were rumors that this kid wasn't even from Konoha, otherwise how could he possess the bloodline limit of Kirigakure, and even the Kage himself came this time?

Doesn't this further prove that this kid really isn't from Konoha, but from Kirigakure?

Otherwise, why would the Kage come to Konoha in person? It's because he wanted to bring Shigure back to Kirigakure!

Inside the barrier!

Just like in the original story, Orochimaru joined forces with the First and Second Hokage to attack the Third Hokage, whose situation was even worse than in the original story.

He already had many old wounds on his body.

The situation is far from optimistic.

'The Great Sage Analyzes the First and Second Generations!'

If we happen to catch Shigure, we won't hold back. Instead of letting the Great Sage calculate the Wood Release ninjutsu himself, we might as well just use the First Hokage's Wood Release directly.

With the First Hokage's Wood Release, it would be much easier for him to calculate Wood Release, and its power would definitely be stronger.

[Great Sage: Unable to analyze]

[Due to an unknown barrier, it is impossible to analyze the two individuals.]

Clam!

How could a barrier actually block the Great Sage's analysis?

What a joke!

"Analyze the Four Purple Flame Formation for me. Is it really impossible to break a single, broken formation?"

[Great Sage: Analysis in progress]

[10%]

[15%]

The analysis speed is not bad. Shigure looked at Kakashi beside him and said, "I'll give it a try. There might be a way, but I don't know if I can break this barrier!"

Kakashi hadn't held out much hope; he was just asking casually.

But I never expected Shigure to dare to say that.

You should know that even he and Kai couldn't break through this barrier!

Raikiri was unable to break through the open, and the purple flames almost injured him.

The ANBU ninja looked at Shigure. 'Can this kid really do it? Or is he just trying to show off and brag?'

He's just a lowly genin kid. Even if his strength is comparable to that of a jonin, he couldn't possibly have any knowledge of barriers.

Even the ninjas in the barrier team couldn't do anything about this barrier, so why should a lowly genin be able to?

[Great Sage: Analysis complete. Congratulations, host, on acquiring a new skill: Four Purple Flame Array]

The flaw in the chakra distribution of this barrier has been found.

Suddenly, in Shigure's vision, the barrier, under the control of the Great Sage, seemed to transform into a grid.

According to the Great Sage's annotations, there are problems with the chakra flow in several locations. As long as different amounts of chakra are used to attack these locations at the same time, it can cause the chakra of the four Sound Ninjas who set up the barrier to fluctuate.

This directly caused them to lose control of their chakra, leading to the dissipation of the barrier.

'As expected of a great sage! I knew nothing could stump you!'

Shigure raised his hand and released chakra threads from it. There were over a hundred of these chakra threads, which flew through the air toward the five locations marked by the Great Sage.

The chakra threads intertwined, and in the blink of an eye, they formed five chakra threads of different sizes in the air.

Then, under Shiyu's control, it accurately hit the five positions marked by the Great Sage.

The impact occurred simultaneously, causing a sudden fluctuation in chakra.

The four Sound Ninja simultaneously felt a tightness in their chests, and their chakra began to run rampant and out of control.

The barrier collapsed instantly.

Kakashi was stunned when he saw this!

'This method is simply unbelievable!'

'But what's even more astonishing is their control over chakra!'

Transforming one's own chakra into threads and releasing hundreds of them instantly is something that not everyone can do.

"Shigure, what kind of technique is this?!" Guy was completely baffled. What kind of ninjutsu could break through a barrier in an instant?

Shigure shook his head. "It wasn't ninjutsu. I just found a few weaknesses and used chakra to disrupt them, making their chakra chaotic, and that's how the barrier broke!"

Several flaws were found, Li?

"How did you find the flaw?"

"You'll find it with just one look!"

Shiyu didn't want to say too much, but this answer left Kai speechless.

The Dark Guard also fell silent. They had been watching for more than ten minutes but had not seen any flaws in the barrier.

Is this the difference between ordinary people and geniuses?

Are his eyes different?

Chapter 164 The Battle of Time: Three Generations Severely Injured

The moment the barrier broke, Orochimaru, who was about to attack the Third Hokage, suddenly stopped.

He turned to look in the direction of Kakashi and the others, his eyes flashing with disbelief.

Even the usually calm Orochimaru was extremely surprised and shocked. He couldn't understand how these people had managed to break through the barrier.

Furthermore, we didn't hear any noise at all just now, so logically it shouldn't be possible for someone to break through the barrier!
