Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode

Kirito used the power of his Byakugan to slow down the process of the enemy's ninjutsu being destroyed several times to observe it, he thought to himself.

He then quickly turned around and swung his famous sword, striking a huge fist adorned with brass knuckles.

"Clang!"

A loud crash was heard.

A powerful gust of air followed.

The immense power instantly flowed through the famous sword, but the White Zetsu clone remained unmoved, like the gnarled roots of an old tree, without retreating an inch, and even subtly pushed back.

At this moment, he had already used a modified version of the Akimichi Secret Technique to use Yang Release chakra to enhance the power in his arms, making his strength no less than that of his enemy.

Yang Release is one of the chakra natures that White Zetsu clones are most proficient in, second only to Water Release, reaching level 3.

Furthermore, the Yang Release chakra generated within the White Zetsu clone is not ordinary Yang Release chakra, but rather Yang Release chakra containing Ashura chakra generated from Hashirama's cells, making it far more powerful than ordinary Yang Release chakra.

"Hurry up and kill him, this guy is very strong."

At the same time, the Root ninja who used the Akimichi Secret Technique felt immense pressure and couldn't help but shout.

As soon as he finished speaking, sharp, materialized shadow spikes shot out from behind Kirito at high speed.

At the same time, a huge air-cutting wave also arrived.

Ninja Technique·Shadow Seam!

Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!

"That's really scary."

Kirito said expressionlessly.

The next moment, the chakra covering the famous sword in his hand suddenly turned red, and a raging, high-temperature flame instantly appeared. With one strike, he forced back the huge fist that was being intensely burned in front of him, and then his body quickly spun around once.

A huge vortex of flames suddenly appeared, centered on Kirito.

Sword Skill: Fiery Dance!

In an instant, whether it was the sharp shadow spikes, the huge air slashing waves, or the large number of parasitic insects that silently attacked from the ground, they were all burned to ashes by the high-temperature flames.

Suddenly, a huge wind pressure appeared.

The five elite members of the Skull Squad immediately noticed that the chakra covering the famous sword in the hand of the mysterious samurai had transformed into wind-style chakra.

He plunged his katana into the ground, and a violent current of air suddenly appeared, sweeping in all directions.

The terrifying wind pressure knocked down many large trees in the surrounding area.

Sword Technique: Wind Pressure Sword: Reverse!

The wind intensifies the fire.

The vortex of flames instantly swelled, forming a high-temperature fire wave that rapidly swept in all directions with the airflow, burning everything around it to ashes.

During the process, the fire waves touched the rain falling from the sky, forming a large amount of hot water vapor.

The five elite members of the Roots retreated quickly and decisively, but they were still touched by the scalding hot steam blowing from behind them. They immediately felt a burning pain on their backs, and their scalps went numb as they desperately tried to avoid the rapidly approaching waves of fire.

The Root Elite, who used the Akimichi Secret Technique, was the slowest. If they were not careful, they would be caught up by the fire wave and instantly burned into flames, letting out painful screams.

At the critical moment of life and death, the Root elite codenamed Gluttony, who used the Akimichi Secret Technique, did not hesitate to use his strongest trump card.

He swallowed a red Akimichi secret medicine called Chili Pill, then clasped his hands together.

A terrifying surge of chakra erupted from his body, the resulting shockwaves dispersing the flames on his body and even blowing back the incoming sea of ​​fire.

Then, a pair of huge and beautiful chakra butterfly wings grew from Gluttony's back, and his originally chubby figure suddenly became slender.

Akimichi's Secret Technique: Butterfly Transformation!

"The Akimichi clan's secret medicine and the Butterfly Transformation Technique, what an astonishing boost! My chakra has increased more than ten times in an instant, and it has firmly reached the level of a Kage. However, my body simply cannot withstand this surge of chakra. Forcing it to continue would only cause my body to explode. Therefore, I used the Butterfly Transformation Technique to quickly consume this surge of chakra."

Although his chakra control was insufficient, resulting in a very rough and inefficient use of it, it was still passable.

Kirito used his Byakugan to clearly see the changes in Gluttony's chakra and commented calmly.

Kirito's calm tone greatly displeased Gluttony, whose strength had suddenly increased. After consuming the chili pill and using the Butterfly Transformation Technique, he felt that he was comparable to a Kage-level savior, but this samurai in front of him dared to remain so composed.

That's incredibly presumptuous.

"Die!"

Gluttony roared and then charged towards Kirito, who was still protected by the vortex of flames.

A sonic boom then occurred.

At this moment, Gluttony's speed has exceeded the speed of sound, and it is completely beyond the reach of the naked eye for ordinary people.

However, he was now facing Kirito, who possessed the Byakugan.

Speeds that break the sound barrier.

But that's all.

Gluttony suddenly appeared above Kirito's head, and then, using the Multiply Technique, punched Kirito from above.

The next moment, the ground shook violently and cracked extensively. A huge fist imprint appeared on the ground where Kirito was standing, and the huge vortex of flames was also dispersed by his punch.

Gluttony looked at the destruction he had caused, his face was not good at all, because his fist did not bring the familiar feeling of impact, that satisfying feeling of punching a human body, he did not feel it at all, which made his heart sink to the bottom.

"The speed is good, but it's not fast enough."

Kirito's voice came faintly from behind Gluttony.

Upon hearing this sound, Gluttony immediately used his other hand to perform a multiplication technique and swept it behind him, but he only touched some water, just like before.

He turned around and saw Kirito quickly emerge from the puddle on the ground not far away.

"Water Instantaneous Movement Technique!"

Upon seeing this, Gluttony instantly realized how Kirito had managed to evade his attack.

However, the speed at which the opponent released the Water Release: Water Instantaneous Body Technique was far too fast. Did he not even need to form hand seals?

And he's clearly a samurai, so why would a samurai possess such a powerful teleportation technique?

With my current abilities, do I have a chance to hit him?

Upon realizing this, Gluttony couldn't help but doubt his current strength.

"Calm down, let's hold him off, you find an opportunity to kill him."

The next second, a chaotic voice suddenly rang in Gluttony's mind.

This is the mind-to-body transmission technique of chaos.

"I understand, thank you."

Upon hearing the chaotic voice, Gluttony quickly calmed down and replied.

That's right, he still has teammates, and he still has a chance to hit the enemy in front of him.

He didn't believe that the other party could continuously unleash the Water Instantaneous Body Technique without using any seals.

There will definitely be an opportunity.

If his companion forces him to use the Water Instantaneous Movement Technique, he will have a chance to hit his opponent.

With just one strike, given his current strength, he was confident he could turn his opponent into mincemeat.

With his Byakugan's 360-degree all-seeing ability, Kirito discovered that the other four members of the Skull Squad had surrounded him in coordination with Gluttony, and the Root ninja who used Parasite Bugs in combat had already launched a silent attack.

Countless parasites are moving rapidly underground, quickly covering their surroundings.

If he hadn't been so quick to anger, he probably would have been surrounded by the parasitic insects without even realizing it, and would have ended up as food for these terrifying creatures.

"Let's do it!"

Chaos used the Mind-Body Transmission Technique to speak to his four companions at the same time.

The Root elite, codenamed Gale, who is skilled in using Wind Release, took a deep breath, his mouth and chest rapidly expanded, gathering a large amount of Wind Release chakra, and his hands quickly completed hand seals, blowing out a large number of huge air slashes that shot towards Kirito at high speed.

Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!

Upon seeing this, Kirito instantly covered his famous sword with light blue water-style chakra, and a torrent of water immediately wrapped around the blade.

He suddenly swung the famous sword in his hand upwards.

A water dragon suddenly appeared, and as soon as it appeared, it swept up all the water and rainwater on the surrounding ground, causing its body to expand rapidly and form a wave that swallowed up all the incoming air. With its claws bared and its huge waves crashing into the gale, it rushed towards the wind.

The gale hurriedly tried to dodge, but he only managed to avoid the water dragon's bite, unable to escape the engulfing waves that followed. He was struck by the steel-like waves and suffered immense damage, spitting out a large amount of blood in the water.

Sword Technique: Water Dragon's Roar!

At that moment, taking advantage of the wind holding Kirito back, Chaos quickly threw a flashbang at him.

He no longer dared to use the Yamanaka clan's Yin Release techniques on Kirito, especially the extremely dangerous Mind Transfer Technique. He dared not gamble on whether Kirito could break his Mind Transfer Technique again as before. If the Mind Transfer Technique was broken, he might die immediately.

In this way, his role is to allow his teammates to stay in touch without speaking, making their teamwork more seamless.

Of course, there are other things he can do, such as creating opportunities for his teammates to control the enemy.

For example, he just threw a flashbang.

The flashbang detonates instantly while the device is in motion, creating a terrifying burst of light.

Under the bright light, Kirito's shadow grew rapidly.

Using the Nara Secret Technique, the shadow beneath the Root elite codenamed Shadow immediately extended rapidly toward Kirito's shadow.

Ninja Art: Shadow Imitation Technique!

Just as the shadow of the shadow was about to connect with Kirito's shadow, Kirito's shadow suddenly disappeared.

He once again unleashed the Water Instantaneous Body Technique without using any seals, appearing several meters away.

But as soon as he landed, a large number of parasitic insects surged out from the ground beneath him, enveloping and binding Kirito, and frantically devouring his chakra.

"Die!"

Seeing this, Gluttony knew his chance had come. He once again appeared above Kirito in the blink of an eye using pure physical strength, and used his giant fist, which had been enlarged by the Expansion Technique, to smash Kirito and the parasitic insects on his body down.

"Boom!"

A terrifying sound, like a pile driver striking a pile, was heard.

Another huge fist-shaped mark appeared on the ground.
