433. Are These Really Genin?

"Lightning Release: Lightning Fish!!"

On another battlefield, a Kumo-nin formed hand seals, condensing golden electricity into a massive swimming fish and hurling it toward the enemy.

Seeing this, Haku immediately stepped forward to shield the group.

"Ice Release: Ice Wall!"

As a frosty mist rose, a thick wall of ice rumbled into existence, blocking the incoming lightning.

Following this, Kimimaro charged in from the side.

Wielding his bone spear, he moved like the most formidable warrior of legend, cutting through the battlefield with ease. No one could stop him! Not just him, but Kabuto as well.

However, compared to Kimimaro, who fought like an assassin, Kabuto was more like a cunning mage.

Numerous chakra-formed tentacles swept across the battlefield, and anyone who was even slightly touched by them was instantly eliminated.

As for Jugo, his role in this battle was that of a tank.

He had already entered a fully cursed seal state, standing over two meters tall with dark gray skin, resembling some kind of mutated giant.

Ordinary attacks had no effect on him. Instead, they were met with fists bursting with chakra, smashing everything in their path!

Haku, meanwhile, played the role of support, using Ice Release to control the battlefield, sealing off and restricting the enemy's movements.

Oh, and there was Chino, hovering above.

Having exhausted all her chakra, she was now essentially just a...

cheerleader?

In any case, with the cooperation of the two Konoha squads, the combined forces of over twenty teams from the four major nations and several smaller countries were being pushed back!

"Are these guys monsters?"

"They don't look like genin at all, do they?"

"Or is it that even Konoha's genin are this strong?"

Someone gulped, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at the Konoha ninja.

It wasn't that they were cowardly, but the combat prowess displayed by Kabuto and the others was simply too broken.

This was not the level of skill genin should possess.

With their current strength, they should be taking the jonin exams, not the chunin exams!

"Dammit, if we don't rein them in soon, our morale is going to collapse."

One of the Kumo twins, Shinkai, wore a look of displeasure.

In his eyes, aside from the Kumo teams, the participants from Suna, Kiri, and even Iwa were all utterly useless!

Iwa was slightly better, at least they had Deidara to hold the fort.

As for Kiri, having just emerged from the Blood Mist, their performance was somewhat understandable.

But Suna? They had blatantly sent overage participants, yet their combat ability was still a complete mess...

They were a disgrace to the five great nations!

No matter how frustrated he felt, he now had to fight hard for Kumo's honor and interests.

With this in mind, arcs of electricity began to surge across his body, and his black hair stood on end.

"Lightning Release Armor, activate!"

In the next moment, he charged toward Kimimaro at incredible speed.

His goal was simple: to fight speed with speed and prevent the other side from continuing their "slaughter."

Not just him, but Dozai also made her move.

"Storm Release: Laser Circus!"

A blue laser shot from her hand, snaking across the battlefield before suddenly aiming at Haku, who was controlling the ice.

If they could take out this guy, the "allied forces" would have much more freedom to move! Dozai thought to herself.

Faced with the sudden, zigzagging attack, Haku, who lacked extensive combat experience, grew nervous and unsure how to respond.

Fortunately, Kabuto had anticipated this. The moment he sensed the threat, he extended a tentacle to grab Haku and pull him out of Dozai's attack range.

"Thanks."

Haku softly expressed his gratitude after escaping danger.

"No problem."

Kabuto waved it off casually, then turned his attention to the sudden fierce assault from Kumo.

"But it's about time to end this farce." Hearing this, Haku took a deep breath, seeming a bit nervous.

"Don't be nervous. Even if we fail, there's no shame in it."

Kabuto appeared quite calm.

Not to mention that they absolutely wouldn't fail, but even if they did, the fact that six of them had taken on so many enemies at once would still be an impressive feat.

Hearing Kabuto's reassurance, Haku relaxed a bit and nodded firmly.

"I understand."

Although he knew his teacher didn't care about such trivial fame, he still didn't want to disappoint him...

With this thought, Haku's gaze grew resolute.

He pulled out a pill to replenish his chakra and popped it into his mouth, then focused on forming hand seals.

In an instant, powerful chakra surged through his body, and a terrifying chill swept over everyone on the battlefield.

We have to stop him!

This thought suddenly flashed through Dozai's mind.

But just as she prepared to act, Jugo was already upon her.

"Feel the power of my iron fist!!"

In his cursed seal state, Jugo was extremely ferocious, completely unlike the gentle, shy, warm guy he usually was.

He appeared right in front of Dozai and delivered a devastating punch.

Faced with such an attack, Dozai had no choice but to abandon her plan to attack immediately.

In that brief moment, Haku completed his hand seals.

"Ice Release: Ice Age!!"

As he slammed his hands onto the ground, a massive amount of Ice Release chakra poured out from his body.

Endless frost erupted like a tidal wave, forming ice spikes that mercilessly swept across the entire battlefield.

In an instant, numerous ninja who were touched by the frost were frozen into ice sculptures, unable to move!

"Dammit, such a large-scale jutsu... Can a genin really do this?" Even Shinkai was stunned by the scene before him.

Fortunately, Dozai arrived in time, using her Storm Release laser to cut through the incoming glacier piece by piece!!

Thanks to her efforts, the "allied forces" managed to secure a small foothold on the battlefield.

The surviving ninja quickly gathered around her, forming a temporary "unity."

This situation made Dozai instinctively uneasy.

After all, on the battlefield, having so many people gathered in one place posed a significant risk.

For example...

being wiped out!!

The moment this thought crossed Dozai's mind, she saw that behind the glacier she had cut apart, the two-meter-tall monster had now returned to human form.

He crouched on the ground, and a large opening appeared in the palms of his swollen hands.

To the horror of everyone present, a massive amount of blue chakra erupted from them like flames from hell.

"Multiple Lotus Cannons!!"
