I've Already Confronted the Five Kage, and the System Just Arrived!

Chapter 182:



Boom!!!

A crimson skeletal structure materialized in midair, enveloping Itachi and sweeping its two arms to knock away the incoming weapons and ninjutsu.

"Susanoo, huh?"

Seeing Susanoo for the first time, Sasuke's expression tensed. He spread his fingers, and the transparent wire entwined around them instantly pulled taut, causing the previously deflected Fuma Shuriken to whirl around once more.

This time, instead of clashing directly, the shuriken orbited around Susanoo, causing the wires to bind tightly around the crimson skeleton.

Not only Sasuke but the other Uchiha also moved their fingers. With the pre-arranged wires in place, kunai and shuriken scattered all over the place re-shot out, swiftly winding around Susanoo just like Sasuke's had.

In an instant, the crimson skeletal figure was tightly bound from head to toe by transparent wires.

On the other end, the wires were clenched in the mouths of Sasuke and the others, accompanied by their hands weaving seals at lightning speed.

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"

One after another, raging flames surged along the wires toward Susanoo.

Itachi looked around. The surface of the crimson skeleton was completely engulfed in flames, making it look like a giant torch.

The flames burned fiercely, causing the skeletal structure to grow thinner.

Knowing that Susanoo's initial form was insufficient for defense, Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan spun again.

In an instant, veins and flesh covered the once-thin crimson skeleton, now wrapped in a cloak-like layer of chakra and adorned with an armor resembling the tengu of Japanese mythology.

And it wasn't over yet.

All the wires snapped instantly as Susanoo grew in size.

Boom!

With a loud crash, the ceiling of Naka Shrine's main hall was shattered, sending the topmost layer of tiles flying as the entire roof was torn off.

After a blazing torch shot skyward and quickly disappeared...

Now, standing taller than the main hall, the majestic and solemn crimson Susanoo straightened up, shining brightly under the sunlight.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With Itachi's steps, the giant myth-like Susanoo trampled over Naka Shrine, demolishing everything as it charged at Sasuke and the others.

Not far away.

Seeing flames and a crimson-armored giant over Naka Shrine, visible even from afar, Gensou shook his head, saying:

"This is just increasing my workload."

Such a commotion would inevitably draw the attention of the true masters here-Konoha.

Given Konoha's efficiency, it wouldn't take long for someone to arrive.

He'd have to stop them from getting involved.

After all, this was a fight for the Uchiha to cleanse their own house; outsiders had no business interfering.

"Well, it's fine if they come; hopefully, there'll be some useful characters."

Gensou thought about his system mission.

While waiting for the outcome here, he hadn't been idle. A shadow clone of his had already set off to complete a new main mission issued by the system.

[Main Mission: Chunin Exams]n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

[Mission Description: After returning from the Land of Waves, the host soon heard about the Chūnin Exams. Recommended by his team leader Kakashi, Team 7 will participate in the Chūnin Exams. Prepare well to pass the written test, the Forest of Death trial, the preliminaries, and ultimately the final exam.]

[Warning! Orochimaru, one of the Sannin, is about to strike!]

A few days ago, Gensou had received the new mission from the system, and he took advantage of this visit to Konoha to accomplish it.

If all went as planned, his shadow clone should now be in the Chunin Exam's usual written exam venue, having completed a test paper, and would be on its way to the Forest of Death, heading to the central tower to continue the mission.

As for whether it would work or not...

Gensou was confident.

After all, with the wisdom of the great scholars on his side, how could he fail?

In the meantime, Gensou continued sitting on the large stone, quietly waiting.

Kisame, who also noticed the commotion at Naka Shrine, frowned slightly:

"So soon using the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan?"

He was a bit surprised.

He hadn't expected that Sasuke, whom he could once easily deal with, would have grown to this level.

Kisame turned his head to look at Gensou, wanting to ask something, when he suddenly heard noises coming from not far away.

He squinted his eyes and asked, "Gensou-senpai, do you need me to deal with those pests?"

Gensou glanced at the people approaching, who were all unfamiliar faces and irrelevant

characters, and casually waved his hand.

Kisame nodded and disappeared in a flash.

Soon, sounds of fighting came from the distance.

From the moment Itachi unleashed the true power of Susanoo, the battle at Naka Shrine could

no longer be concealed.

Initially, Konoha had no idea what was happening at Naka Shrine, so they sent a nearby team

to investigate.

After some time without any reports from the team, Konoha realized something was amiss.

...

Hokage's Office.

Tsunade stood by the window, arms crossed, looking in the direction of Naka Shrine.

The Uchiha grounds were in a remote area, so despite the commotion caused by Itachi's

Susanoo, she couldn't see anything.

Still, she did so because of her suspicions.

"What could be happening at Naka Shrine?"

After the Uchiha massacre, the Uchiha grounds seemed forgotten by everyone, left untouched

for a long time.

Besides the dusty, dilapidated buildings, there was nothing of value there.

There shouldn't have been any reason for outsiders to target it.

Yet now, a significant battle was taking place.

Earlier investigations confirmed no Konoha shinobi were there.

Judging by this, it could only be foreign shinobi.

Tsunade was pondering.

At that moment, Shizune burst through the door, clearly flustered.

"Tsunade-sama!"

"What's the situation?" Tsunade turned to ask.

Shizune's face darkened. "The second investigative team has also lost contact. Additionally,

an Anbu team that went in secret is the same."

Crunch!

Tsunade clenched her fist.

Upon hearing this news, she realized the severity of the problem.

She had initially thought it was a minor issue. Though the specifics were unclear, sending a

few Konoha shinobi should have been enough to resolve it, and they could investigate

afterward.

But now, with two Konoha teams and an Anbu team disappearing easily, this was far from a

minor issue.

This was like a dragon rampaging!

"Who could it be?"

Tsunade considered several possibilities and was about to gather more personnel to

investigate further.

Suddenly!

The office door was pushed open again.

Shikamaru and Chōji, who had just returned from the Land of Waves, each supported the

weary Izumo and Kotetsu, while Asuma and Ino followed quickly behind.

Without time for formalities, Shikamaru spoke gravely:

"Hokage-sama, there's big trouble."
