Chapter 347 Desperate Suppression

“Fūka Dotō, you weren’t fooled by fake intelligence from your subordinates, were you?” Hango Binfu couldn’t help but curse.

He really couldn’t hold back. He originally thought he only needed to fight a Jonin with outstanding strength, but Muzuki’s performance was completely that of a strong individual famous throughout the Ninja World.

Of course, Hango Binfu wouldn’t suspect Fūka Dotō of deliberately tricking him with false intelligence, because they were already in the same boat. If he couldn’t defeat Fūka Dotō, Fūka Dotō wouldn’t be able to usurp the throne successfully.

Hango Binfu only felt that Fūka Dotō was stupid, which was why he received false intelligence.

“Impossible, didn’t you say you were sure you could win?” Fūka Dotō retorted.

Hango Binfu complained about his intelligence, and Fūka Dotō, in turn, complained about Hango Binfu’s lack of strength. The leader of a Ninja Village was actually afraid of a young man from a Great Shinobi Village.

Before the battle, he was full of confidence and said that dealing with Muzuki, that young brat, was no problem.

Hango Binfu wished he could punch Fūka Dotō into the ground. The reason he spoke so confidently was because Fūka Dotō’s intelligence had such a large error. If he had known Muzuki was so strong, he wouldn’t have cooperated with Fūka Dotō; he would have directly switched sides.

But after a brief exchange of insults, both quickly calmed down. One was a Ninja Village leader and the other was the second-in-command of Land of Snow, so they knew that discussing who was right or wrong now was useless. The most important thing was to win the battle and complete the usurpation.

Fūka Dotō, with several Snow Ninja, left the center of the battlefield and moved towards the edge, intending to bypass Muzuki and directly capture Fūka Sōsetsu.

He was the core of the Snow Ninja, while Fūka Sōsetsu was the core of Muzuki’s side. If he could capture Fūka Sōsetsu, it would greatly help the battle.

Fūka Dotō’s small movements naturally couldn’t escape Muzuki’s notice, after all, Fūka Dotō was also considered a strong individual among the Snow Ninja.

However, Muzuki didn’t pay attention to Fūka Dotō, letting him approach Fūka Sōsetsu.

He brought Kakashi and the others to complete the mission, and it wasn’t Muzuki’s mission to do. If Kakashi and the others finished without even fighting, then the final reward for this mission wouldn’t be high.

After all, this was a teacher system, not some strongest Ninja system, focusing on whether the disciples and students had grown.

Of course, Muzuki wouldn’t let just anyone pass. For example, Ninja of Hango Binfu’s level, Muzuki definitely wouldn’t let pass, because even if Obito and the others went all out, they couldn’t defeat him, unless Rin Nohara was killed and Obito activated his Mangekyo Sharingan.

Muzuki condensed a large amount of Chakra in his mouth, completing the Nature Transformation at an extremely fast speed, converting all Chakra into Fire Release.

“Fire Release: Great Fire Destruction!”

Muzuki clapped his hands together and leaped up, spitting out even more flames than the previous Fire Release: Great Fire Destruction, like spitting out a meteor composed of pure high-temperature flames.

The flames, like a giant blazing meteor, instantly turned into an incredibly fierce sea of fire upon contact with the ground, turning everything around into black ash. The intensity of the fire far exceeded the Fire Release: Great Fire Destruction Muzuki had just released.

At this moment, Hango Binfu was already sweating profusely due to the sudden increase in surrounding temperature, his back completely soaked with sweat. He had never seen a Fire Release Ninjutsu of such exaggerated power.

At this moment, without any command from Hango Binfu, all the Snow Ninja were doing their best to cast Ninjutsu to resist the sea of fire that seemed to swallow everything.

Those who knew defensive Ninjutsu created ice walls and snow walls, while those who didn’t condensed Chakra and, after the ice walls broke, used offensive Ninjutsu to counteract the sea of fire.

Because they knew that if they couldn’t block this high-temperature sea of fire, only death awaited them.

“Don’t underestimate the Ninjutsu I cultivated in the bitter cold!”

“Snow Ninja fighting in the heavy snow will not lose!”

“If this battle ends, I’ll retire and go back to my hometown to get married.”

Watching the Snow Ninja united and encouraging each other to fight against the sea of fire, Muzuki suddenly had a sense of déjà vu, as if he had become the BOSS, and the Snow Ninja were like those fighting the BOSS.

In terms of strength, there was no difference between the Snow Ninja fighting him and fighting a BOSS; in fact, it was like fighting a BOSS above their level.

This time, Muzuki’s flames had both increased in quality and quantity, greatly enhancing their overall power. The giant ice wall that had blocked the Fire Release: Great Fire Destruction was rapidly melted by the terrifying flames of the Fire Release: Great Fire Destruction, disappearing in just a few seconds, as if it had never existed.

“Ice Release: Black Dragon Blizzard!”

Facing Muzuki, whose strength far exceeded expectations, Hango Binfu also used his true killing move.

Hango Binfu pushed the Chakra armor he was wearing to its limit, then quickly formed hand signs, and a large amount of Chakra burst forth, rapidly forming a giant dragon made of ice and snow that charged towards the sea of fire.

Hango Binfu’s Ninjutsu was indeed powerful, and it was even somewhat strengthened in snowy conditions, but it still appeared naive in the face of Muzuki’s Fire Release: Great Fire Destruction, which was like a natural disaster.

It couldn’t even make the sea of fire pause for a fraction of a second, and the ice and snow giant dragon was quickly swallowed by the sea of fire.

“Ice Release: One-Horned White Whale!”

“Ice Release: Breaking Dragon Fierce Tiger!”

“Ice Release: Ice Spikes!”

After the ice wall was broken, all the Snow Ninja who could use Ninjutsu used their most proficient Ninjutsu to fight against the sea of fire. A large number of ice and snow beasts rushed into the sea of fire, trying to stop its spread.

Even with the Snow Ninja’s diligent defense, the sea of fire still didn’t extinguish, only its range diminished.

Hango Binfu rapidly retreated to avoid being engulfed by the flames, while some slower Snow Ninja were directly burned to death by the flames.

The surviving Snow Ninja looked at Muzuki with a hint of terror in their eyes.

This single Fire Release: Great Fire Destruction only eliminated a small portion of Snow Ninja, but it successfully crushed the Snow Ninja’s morale.

Because the Snow Ninja were hundreds against one, yet they couldn’t even block one person’s Ninjutsu from Muzuki.

“Even the legendary Sannin couldn’t be stronger than this,” Hango Binfu sighed. At this moment, he had lost his initial high spirits.

Muzuki’s strength had exceeded his imagination; this was a head-on collision with hundreds of Ninja.

This battle completely shattered Hango Binfu’s dream of a Great Shinobi Village. The foundations of the Five Great Ninja Villages were simply too strong. Konoha not only had Muzuki, but also the Sannin, the Third Hokage, and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Even if the Snow Ninja truly had a Jinchuriki, they couldn’t compete with those Great Shinobi Villages.

At this point, Hango Binfu no longer knew how to win the battle. He could only try his best to fight a war of attrition, after all, Ninja’s Chakra was limited, and no matter how strong the Ninjutsu, it was useless without Chakra.

“Fūka Dotō, do something useful.” Hango Binfu’s other hope was Fūka Dotō. If he could take Fūka Sōsetsu hostage, even if he couldn’t successfully usurp the throne, he could at least retreat safely.

The Snow Ninja’s morale was low, while Muzuki’s side was the exact opposite; all the defenders swept away their dejection and showed excited expressions.

Asama Santaifu looked at Muzuki not as a person, but he only felt that Muzuki was like a fire god descended, spitting out flames like a natural disaster from his mouth.

“To defeat so many Ninja alone, to what extent has Fire Release been cultivated!” The Ninja among the guards found it hard to comprehend but were extremely excited.

At this moment, in their hearts, Konoha, where Muzuki resided, had already become the undisputed strongest Great Shinobi Village.

Someone also thought of the legendary Hokage. If Konoha’s Jonin’s Fire Release was this strong, how terrifying must the Hokage’s Fire Release be?

“I knew Teacher Muzuki had even stronger Ninjutsu. This Fire Release is truly amazing. I wonder when I’ll be able to learn it.” Watching Muzuki display his divine power and single-handedly beat up hundreds of Ninja, Obito showed a look of longing.

Obito thought for a moment, Muzuki was completely like the protagonist of a Ninja novel, stepping out and turning the tide of battle when everyone thought it was impossible to win.

It was a pity his strength wasn’t enough, otherwise Obito really wanted to cast this Ninjutsu for Muzuki; just thinking about it was incredibly satisfying.

“If we can get through this safely, I must bestow Muzuki the title of ice and snow hero.” Fūka Sōsetsu thought to herself.

This title was Land of Snow’s highest award for brave individuals, and in the history of Land of Snow, only a handful of people had received this title.

“Watch out!”

Just as everyone was surprised by Muzuki’s strength, Kakashi noticed something unusual.

Whoosh! Whoosh!!

Two Kunai were aimed at Fūka Sōsetsu.

Whoosh!

Kakashi swiftly drew his White Fang Short Blade, cutting down the incoming Kunai with incredibly fast slashes.

The moment Kakashi cut down the Kunai, three Snow Ninja appeared and launched an attack on Kakashi.

“Flame Breathing, Full Focus! Sharingan, Activate!”

With Kakashi’s warning, Obito instantly maximized his strength.

“Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!”

Obito aimed at Kakashi’s front and spat out a giant fireball, forcing the three Snow Ninja to scatter and retreat to dodge.

“Bad guys are here, Fuka Kazehana, quickly get behind me.” Rin Nohara told Fuka Kazehana to hide behind her.

As an ordinary child, Fuka Kazehana was in the most danger at this moment; even being hit by a small aftershock would result in injury.

The obedient Fuka Kazehana hid behind Rin Nohara, only peeking her head out to observe the situation.

“Strange, how did these people get here?” Obito jumped down from the house with a puzzled expression.

Even if Muzuki missed a few Ninja, there were still many guards behind Muzuki; were those guards all blind?

“Because Fuka Castle is also my home, no one is more familiar with Fuka Castle than I am,” Fūka Dotō, who was the last to emerge, said.

There was naturally a reason for him to personally lead a team to capture Fūka Sōsetsu; if they couldn’t bypass those guards, they wouldn’t even think about capturing Fūka Sōsetsu. The guards couldn’t defeat the Snow Ninja troops, but they could stop a few Ninja.

“Uncle? There are bad guys over there, Uncle, come quickly,” Fuka Kazehana shouted when she saw Fūka Dotō.

Fūka Dotō was unmoved, concentrating his Chakra to prepare to cast Ninjutsu. At this point, it was either his death or hers; there would be no other outcome.

“Dotō, since you also know that Fuka Castle is your home, why do you still want to destroy it?” Fūka Sōsetsu asked with a tired expression.

For Fūka Sōsetsu, these days truly felt like years. Suddenly, her younger brother became a rebel who wanted to usurp the throne, and then he led the Snow Ninja Village to attack. A perfectly good country suddenly became precarious.

“Because I want to build a better new home!” After concentrating his Chakra, Fūka Dotō immediately cast Ninjutsu.

“Ice Release: Black Dragon Blizzard!”

Fūka Dotō didn’t want to waste any time, because although he had bypassed the guards, once a commotion occurred, the guards would quickly come to support, and he had to end the battle as soon as possible.

With the enhancement of the Chakra Armor, Fūka Dotō’s Ninjutsu power was strengthened, and soon an incredibly fierce frost and snow black dragon formed.

Fūka Dotō unhesitatingly controlled the black dragon to charge towards Fūka Sōsetsu and Fuka Kazehana’s position.

“Uncle…” Fuka Kazehana stared blankly at the somewhat ferocious Fūka Dotō, not understanding what was happening.

Fūka Sōsetsu’s three bodyguards stood in front of Fūka Sōsetsu, gripping their samurai swords, ready to block the attack for Fūka Sōsetsu.

And as Obito watched this scene, the flames in his heart burned with intense heat, and his desire to beat Fūka Dotō grew stronger and stronger.

“Although she’s a princess who doesn’t act like one, and a guy that’s not very likable, she’s always called you Uncle, you bastard!” Accompanied by the curse, Obito’s already highly concentrated Breathing Technique changed again.

“Flame Breathing Chakra Mode!”

Obito could see that Fūka Dotō’s strength was not simple, so he decisively entered his strongest state, facing Fūka Dotō with his full power.

“Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!”

Obito concentrated a large amount of Chakra in his throat, and with the boost from Flame Breathing, he rapidly completed the Nature Transformation. Immediately after, large swathes of high-temperature flames, like a raging tyrannosaurus, spewed from Obito’s mouth, attacking the black dragon.

Although Obito’s Fire Release range was far inferior to Muzuki’s, Muzuki was fighting elsewhere, while Obito was right beside them. Looking at Obito’s Fire Release, Fūka Sōsetsu was very surprised, she hadn’t expected a child who didn’t look very old like Obito to possess such powerful strength.

Fuka Kazehana rubbed her eyes even more, unable to believe that the impolite and clumsy Obito was actually so powerful.

However, Fūka Dotō not only had Chakra Armor but also a heavy snow weather bonus. Even when Obito’s Fire Release was pushed to its limit, it failed to melt the black dragon; instead, the black dragon gradually extinguished the flames.

The three Snow Ninja originally wanted to help Fūka Dotō defeat Obito and Kakashi, but the guards on the battlefield had already noticed the situation here, and many guards were rushing to support. The three Snow Ninja could only desperately use Ninjutsu to prevent the guards from getting close.

It was precisely because of the strength of those guards that Fūka Dotō brought three Jonin from the Snow Ninja Village, one of whom was even wearing Chakra Armor. They could be said to be the elite of the Snow Ninja.

Of course, the power of the elite is also limited. They can hold out for a while, but if it’s prolonged, something will definitely go wrong. If they could defeat so many guards, they wouldn wouldn’t have needed to go around.

“Lightning Release: False Darkness!”

Seeing that Obito was no match alone, Kakashi quickly formed hand signs and cast Ninjutsu, spitting out an incredibly sharp lightning spear towards the black dragon.

With Kakashi’s lightning, the situation instantly changed. Amidst the power of fire and lightning, the black dragon gradually disintegrated.

Fūka Dotō frowned, not expecting that besides Muzuki being a big problem, the brats he brought were also not weak.

“Ice Release: Twin Dragon Blizzard!”

Fūka Dotō squeezed the Chakra from his body, using a massive amount of Chakra to create two slightly smaller frost and snow giant dragons.

Even with the Chakra Armor, he wouldn’t have been able to use this technique normally, but with the heavy snow, he could barely manage to use it.

Although the power of each dragon was reduced because it was used with difficulty, the overall power still increased due to the greater number.

After using this technique, Fūka Dotō’s face turned much paler.

Looking at Fūka Dotō like this, Fūka Sōsetsu sighed deeply and said, “Do you really want to become the Daimyo that much?”

Fūka Sōsetsu truly felt that Fūka Dotō was so unfamiliar at this moment. The old Fūka Dotō, although always having a serious face, would soften a bit when facing Fuka Kazehana, but now it was as if they were sworn enemies.

“Of course you can say that with ease, because you were born to be the Daimyo, while I, as your younger brother, must work harder and harder and then risk my life to act to have a chance of becoming the Daimyo,” Fūka Dotō replied coldly.

“What Daimyo or not Daimyo, you bastard, stop making excuses for yourself!” The more Obito looked at Fūka Dotō, the more fiercely the flames in his heart burned.

“Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!”

Obito once again spewed out a large area of scorching flames to counter Fūka Dotō’s frost and snow black dragons. The fire was even more ferocious than before, even concealing his and Kakashi’s figures.

However, Obito’s Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet was already very difficult to deal with one black dragon, let alone two at once. Soon, the fire diminished, and Obito quickly fell into a disadvantage.

But after the large area of flames dissipated, Fūka Dotō noticed a problem: a white-haired brat was gone.

“Thunderclap Flash!”

Just as Fūka Dotō was searching for Kakashi, Kakashi suddenly appeared ten meters away from him.

Just as Fūka Dotō was about to control a black dragon to attack Kakashi, something he didn’t expect happened.

Boom!

A sound of lightning striking rang out, and incredibly dazzling yellow lightning appeared on Kakashi’s body.

At this moment, Kakashi had pushed his Breathing Technique to the limit, converting a large amount of Chakra into lightning to vitalize his body and enhance his physical abilities. The White Fang Short Blade in his hand also extended a lightning blade after Chakra was infused into it.

Entering the Transparent World and utilizing his physical strength without waste, Kakashi transformed into lightning and charged out.

Swish!

Fūka Dotō only felt a yellow flash pass before his eyes, and then he saw two familiar arms flying in the air. Immediately after, a sharp pain struck him. Only then did Fūka Dotō realize that Kakashi had severed his arms.

“How is this possible, I actually…” Fūka Dotō looked at his severed arms on the ground with disbelief, finding it hard to accept.

He could accept falling into the hands of a strong person like Muzuki, but he never thought he would lose to two brats who weren’t even teenagers.

“You should rarely fight,” Kakashi said plainly, dispelling the Chakra from his White Fang Short Blade and canceling the Transparent World.

Although Fūka Dotō’s Ninjutsu power was indeed quite strong, his combat awareness was too poor. Not to mention the Mist Village Jonin they fought earlier, he was even worse than the Chunin enemies they had encountered before.

Without Fūka Dotō continuously providing Chakra to support them, the black dragons were quickly destroyed by Obito’s flames.

Whoosh!

Obito immediately unleashed his Chakra and flashed to Fūka Dotō’s body, unceremoniously striking Fūka Dotō’s face with a flame-infused fist.

With a thud, Fūka Dotō’s body slammed heavily onto the ground.
