Part Time Employee in Konoha

Chapter 41: Someone stop the Wood Dragon!

Ever since the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, passed away, the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai had become a legend within Konoha, and it was hard for everyone to imagine the power of Wood Release.

As the primitive forest grew dense...

As the colossal Wooden Dragon spiraled above the forest...

The people of Konoha finally recalled the legend of the First Hokage.

The First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, used the power of Wood Release to defeat Uchiha Madara, and united numerous ninja clans to establish the most prosperous ninja village, thus ending the constantly warring states period.

"Wood Release... How could it be so powerful?"

A member of the Uchiha clan finally couldn't suppress his inner fear, tremblingly said: "Did the First Hokage defeat our ancestors using this technique? How did they ever contend with the First Hokage..."

...

Uchiha Fugaku remained silent without speaking.

As the leader of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku knew many secrets and also knew the power of the Uchiha clan's Kekkei Genkai, the Sharingan.

"Itachi..."

Uchiha Izumi looked at the Wooden Dragon in the examination arena with a face full of panic.

The ten-year-old Uchiha Izumi had experienced the Nine-Tails' attack on Konoha and had seen those massive creatures' terror. This Wooden Dragon was even big enough to rival the Nine-Tails!

...

Uchiha Shisui's eyes also showed concern.

No one in Konoha understood Uchiha Itachi's strength better than Uchiha Shisui.

Even though Uchiha Shisui had taught Uchiha Itachi some powerful techniques, with such a huge gap, it was hard to reverse the situation of defeat.

"Is this the power of Wood Release?"

Hatake Kakashi couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Since the end of the Nine-Tails' attack, Hatake Kakashi thought there wouldn't be much in the ninja world that could stir his emotions anymore. However, after seeing the colossal Wooden Dragon, a wave of emotion finally stirred in his heart.

Hatake Kakashi, while researching, had found a document mentioning that Wood Release was powerful enough to suppress the Nine-Tails...

However, after encountering Tenzo, Hatake Kakashi felt that there might be some problems with that document. Now Hatake Kakashi knew, the problem wasn't with the document!

"Tenzo..."

Hatake Kakashi looked towards Tenzo beside him.

"I couldn't possibly do it"

Tenzo slowly shook his head and said in a deep voice, "This technique requires a massive amount of Wood Release chakra to activate, and my chakra is simply not enough to launch this technique"

"..."

Hatake Kakashi silently nodded.

On the main stand of the spectator seats.

The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, wearing his hat, used it to conceal his view as he observed the frightened expressions of the leaders of other small ninja villages in different areas, nodding to himself in satisfaction.

The main purpose of this Chunin Exam has been achieved.

Now, the only trouble left was to quickly sever the ties between Akihara Kagura, this young man, and Shimura Danzo, and to have this youngster accept the inheritance of the Will of Fire.

Otherwise...

Uncontrolled power...

Was still a bit too dangerous.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's gaze was fixed on the figure slowly ascending the wooden dragon, his expression gradually becoming more serious. He could not let such powerful strength be influenced by Danzo.

As Danzo's old friend, Hiruzen was very aware of Danzo's narrow-mindedness. Danzo simply couldn't handle it and would eventually cause problems.

In a dark corner.

A mysterious masked man in a gray robe leaned against the wall, with the lower half of a pitcher plant monster hidden underground, and only the upper half of the body exposed.

"What a terrifying child..."

The half-black face of the pitcher plant monster looked at the scene in the examination arena and said ominously, "This kid has actually mastered the Wood Release techniques of Hashirama. It's unimaginable that someone in the ninja world could reach such a level by transplanting Senju's cells..."

"He's a useful pawn."

The mysterious masked man slowly nodded and continued, "We can almost start our plan to make this kid betray Konoha."

When the mysterious masked man witnessed the technique of the Wooden Dragon, he was indeed shocked, but he quickly calmed down. He was not afraid of this technique.

"Your seed is about to be killed..."

The half-white face of the pitcher plant monster said with a mischievous smile, "Facing such a level of Wood Release technique, Uchiha Itachi, that young one, has no chance of winning..."

"It doesn't matter."

The mysterious masked man shook his head indifferently and continued, "If Uchiha Itachi dies, it would actually make our plans go more smoothly..."

"It seems he still wants to resist..."

"Even though a single strike from the opponent would end it all"

Inside the examination hall.

In the dense forest.

Uchiha Itachi raised his head to look at the wooden dragon above, vigorously stepping on a tree trunk, and threw a shuriken, firmly nailing it to the huge tree!

Uchiha Itachi glanced at his palm, holding a wire in his hand, another wire wrapped around the shuriken. He leapt, swinging in a large arc like a swing, propelling himself towards the sky!

Clearly.

This young man still hadn't given up resisting!

Uchiha Itachi swung in the air, quickly forming hand seals, and taking advantage of his height in the air, he spewed a burst of flame towards the wooden dragon's head!

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

The young man soaring into the sky was so vulnerable!

The wooden dragon above the forest was so immense!

At this moment, it created a heart-stirring scene. Regardless of the outcome of the exam, it showed the tragic determination of Uchiha Itachi!

"Boring resistance."

Akihara Kagura, controlling the wooden dragon like a king, slowly turned his head, smashing the incoming fireball into a burst of fading sparks.

"..."

Uchiha Itachi stopped on a huge tree, staring intently at the wooden dragon above. Cold sweat formed in his palms, a tension he had never felt before.

"Goodbye."

Akihara Kagura drove the wooden dragon down!

The massive wooden dragon dove unstoppably towards Uchiha Itachi, like hitting a small insect, as if nothing could stop it from happening!

"Big Brother!"

Little Sasuke was almost screaming!

"Itachi!"

Uchiha Mikoto anxiously watched the examination field, her gaze involuntarily turning to her husband, as if hoping he could do something.

"..."

Uchiha Fugaku's eyes were blood-red, with three black tomoe spinning slowly in his eye sockets, then gradually fading away.

Uchiha Fugaku quickly calmed down, because he was not only Uchiha Itachi's father but also the head of the Uchiha clan.

"Hey, stop..."

Shiranui Genma couldn't help but shout.

As the chief examiner of the third round, when he saw the candidates in danger, he should have intervened to prevent loss of life...

But at that moment, with such a level of technique, he felt that even risking his life wouldn't stop it, only hoping that the chief examiner's order would make that kid stop the attack!

However...

The wooden dragon paused only for a moment...

The massive wooden dragon charged at Uchiha Itachi once again!

Countless giant trees in the forest were knocked down, dust and smoke quickly spread, obscuring the view in the spectator stands!

Eventually, the smoke slowly dissipated.

The audience watched in astonishment at the scene inside the examination field.

A huge green figure, holding a conical spiral sword, had directly pierced the wooden dragon's head, like a demon that had slain the wooden dragon!
