Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode

Because this world has the magical energy of chakra, the beasts are much larger than those he had seen in his previous life, especially the top predators, whose size is often two or three times larger than those he had seen in his previous life.

Kirito has been hunting wild animals in the forest lately. Of course, he has encountered powerful beasts, such as wild boars, wolves, and snakes. He is confident in dealing with them, but he still avoids tigers and bears.

These apex predators possess terrifying strength; they can easily crush rocks and topple large trees, and they are also incredibly tough and fast.

If Kirito hadn't mastered the ability to instantly boost his strength and speed using natural energy, he would likely have been in grave danger.

In short, Kirito has no way to deal with these top predators for the time being, and he doesn't want to face them at all.

The black-haired girl in front of him felt the same way; he didn't want to be targeted by her at all.

"Hey, what are you doing? How can you attack your comrade with a kunai?"

While Kirito was on high alert, Nawaki saw that Inuzuka was injured and immediately pointed at the black-haired girl, shouting angrily.

Nawaki received the pure Will of Fire and was taught from a young age that the people in the village were like family, so he must never harm his companions and must protect them even at the cost of his life.

Therefore, he was extremely angry about the black-haired girl's behavior of harming her companion.

"Comrades? I don't want such weak comrades, the Senju family's trash."

The black-haired girl showed no remorse whatsoever, and scoffed.

"asshole."

Rope Tree rushed towards the black-haired girl and shouted.

However, although Nawaki possessed a considerable amount of chakra, he didn't know how to use it, not even how to climb trees with chakra. When he painstakingly climbed halfway up the tree, he discovered that the black-haired girl had already jumped down from the branch and was giving him a mocking smile.

Rope Tree was so angry that it gritted its teeth. It quickly climbed down from the tree and chased after the black-haired girl.

Unexpectedly, the black-haired girl brushed past him like a gust of wind, then quickly climbed back up the tree trunk, looking down at the rope tree to continue mocking it.

Rope Tree, unwilling to give up, went to climb the tree again. But halfway up, the black-haired girl came down from the tree and teased Rope Tree like a monkey.

That's terrible.

"That idiot."

Shikaku covered his face and said.

"Damn it, stop running around, if you've got the guts, don't run away."

Rope Tree finally realized he couldn't catch up with the black-haired girl, and unconsciously resorted to reverse psychology.

But the black-haired girl flicked her wrist and threw a senbon.

The sharp black needles pierced through quickly, causing Nawaki's hair to stand on end instantly.

A "ding" sound rang out.

At the critical moment, a small pebble struck Senbon, averting the crisis for the rope tree.

Rope Tree breathed a sigh of relief, but then, distracted, it fell off the tree, landing on its bottom and screaming in pain as it clutched its rear end.

The black-haired girl scoffed at Nawaki's antics. She turned to look at Kirito and the others, her eyes scanning them up and down before finally settling on Kirito.

"Got it, now fall down."

Suddenly, a figure moved quickly across the ground using all four limbs, rushing to the black-haired girl in the blink of an eye.

That was Inuzuka Ge, who had successfully used the four-legged technique.

Thanks to Rope Tree for buying him time, he finally succeeded after several failures.

After Inuzuka used his four-legged technique, his strength and speed instantly increased significantly.

In Kirito's opinion, Inuzuka's speed and strength had increased to around 2, which was much stronger than that of an average adult.

Faced with Inuzuka Mao's sudden attack, the black-haired girl showed no panic. Her eyes suddenly changed, and she used a Sharingan with a tomoe. The tomoe spun rapidly in her eyes. Then, she quickly dodged Inuzuka Mao's hair and struck him hard on the back of the neck with a chop.

Inuzuka was instantly knocked to the ground and passed out on the spot.

When the little puppy Kuromaru saw Inuzuka Mao fall, although he was scared, he rushed over immediately, barked at the black-haired girl, and pounced on her, trying to bite her.

"You annoying stupid dog."

A look of disgust flashed in the black-haired girl's red eyes, and she kicked Kuro-maru away.

Shikaku caught the black ball with lightning speed, then said coldly, "Uchiha, what exactly do you want? If you mess around again, don't blame us for being impolite."

"That's right, we're not to be trifled with."

"If you weren't a girl, I would have already taken care of you."

"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're cute, you bastard."

……

As Shikaku took the lead in making tough statements, the other kids shouted back, showing no fear whatsoever, relying on their superior numbers.

"Hmph, then I'll see how impolite you are."

The black-haired girl completely disregarded Shikaku and the others, and charged at them alone.

In the blink of an eye, the black-haired girl rushed into the crowd, and with a swift movement of her knife, she knocked the children to the ground one by one. The three members of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio were no exception. Among them, Shikaku, who had made the threats, suffered the most, and was punched twice in a row, turning his eyes into panda eyes.

In less than half a minute, apart from Kirito and the stunned Nawaki not far away, all the other children were defeated by the black-haired girl.

Kirito was also in the crowd just now, and the reason he didn't fall down wasn't because he blocked the black-haired girl's attack, but simply because the black-haired girl didn't attack him.

"You were the one who hit me with a stone just now, weren't you?"

The black-haired girl stared intently at Kirito with her Sharingan and said coldly.

Her Sharingan with its one tomoe grants her powerful observational skills, allowing her to clearly notice the differences between Kirito and other children, such as the lack of panic in Kirito's eyes when facing her.

"Who knows?"

Kirito chuckled.

The black-haired girl frowned, her mood soured again.

She threw a senbon in an instant, aiming it directly at Kirito's right leg, but Kirito caught it with his bare hands. Then he swung it forcefully, sending the senbon flying towards the black-haired girl at an even faster speed. The black-haired girl immediately turned her head to dodge the senbon, and then did a backflip to avoid a fist coming straight at her.

"You reacted very quickly. What about this one?"

Upon seeing this, Kirito laughed.

As soon as he finished speaking, he threw a small stone, which shot towards the black-haired girl in mid-air.

The small stone hit the target successfully.

A loud "bang" rang out.

A puff of white smoke appeared, and the black-haired girl turned into a piece of wood.

Substitute technique.

"Oops."

Upon seeing this, Kirito realized that something was terribly wrong, as a scorching current of air came from behind him.

He turned around and saw that the person was numb.

A huge fireball was shooting straight at him.

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!

Chapter 6: I am the Hokage

"Damn, this woman is pretty amazing."

Kirito cursed under his breath as he watched the rapidly approaching fireball.

The next moment, he concentrated the little natural energy in his body into his feet, instantly bursting out with a speed beyond normal levels, dodging the black-haired girl's Great Fireball Technique, and then rushing towards the black-haired girl like lightning.

At the same time, his eyes changed, becoming fierce.

Natural energy can not only nourish the body, but can also be used in battle like chakra. Just like chakra, as long as natural energy is concentrated in the limbs, it can unleash power and speed beyond the body's normal level in a short time.

This kind of burst is much stronger than concentrating chakra in the limbs.

Kiri's body doesn't have much natural energy, just a little bit, so this temporary enhancement can only last for a short time.

Therefore, when he uses natural energy, it means he is going to fight desperately.

The black-haired girl was startled by Kirito's sudden burst of speed; she had only ever seen such speed from the Chunin in her clan.

In an instant, she concentrated her chakra in her eyes, and the tomoe in her two Sharingan eyes spun rapidly in order to capture Kirito's movements.

She successfully saw it and used her right hand to block Kirito's fist, which was enveloped in chakra.

But the force from Kirito's fist made her face turn red.

A faint clicking sound was heard.

That was the sound of bones cracking.

The intense pain caused the black-haired girl to let out a muffled groan.

Finally, Kirito knocked the black-haired girl back with a punch, leaving two deep scratches on the ground with her feet, and then hugged his injured right hand with his left hand.

"Let's not fight anymore."

Kirito shook his fist and smiled.

However, his eyes were not on the black-haired girl at this moment, but on a middle-aged man in a nearby tree.

He had a chance to press his advantage, but just as he was about to continue, the middle-aged man suddenly appeared.

If he gets any closer, the middle-aged man who is clearly secretly protecting the black-haired girl will make a move.

"Hmph, mind your own business."

The black-haired girl turned her head to look at the middle-aged man who had appeared and said with dissatisfaction.

"Miss, it's time to go back."

The middle-aged man looked at the black-haired girl with loving eyes and said.

"Shut up, I'm not finished yet. I have to beat him today."

Uchiha Chizuru shouted loudly.

After saying that, she continued to stare at Kirito with her Sharingan, which was filled with intense fighting spirit, intending to make another move.
