The domineering Uchiha drove the Third Hokage mad!

Chapter 334 Purple Dragon's Exhibition Match

The aftershocks of the battle in the Misty Forest had not yet subsided when high-ranking officials from various countries were engaged in heated discussions at the Water Kingdom Plaza.

On the big screen, the scene of Rock Lee using the Eight Gates to defeat Gaara was repeatedly replayed in front of everyone's eyes.

The fiery phoenix that burned everything in its path particularly shocked all the ninjas present.

"Investigate immediately! Just who is this Rock Lee?"

Within half an hour, intelligence reports were delivered to high-ranking officials in various countries.

When the names "Matt Kai" and "Matt Dai" appeared on the paper, the entire square fell silent instantly.

Rock Lee's teacher was none other than Konoha's "Blue Beast" Might Guy, and Guy's father, Might Dai, was a taijutsu master who left behind legendary achievements in the history of the ninja world!

"Matt Day... is actually his son!"

Luo Sha's fingers trembled slightly as he looked at the contents of the intelligence report.

The intelligence clearly records events from over a decade ago: Might Dai, to protect young Might Guy and his companions, faced the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist alone. Back then, two members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen could fight a Kage-level ninja to a draw, three could hunt down a Kage-level expert, and when all seven gathered, they could even start a small-scale war.

"That's equivalent to facing 3.5 Kage-level masters..."

The Fourth Raikage, A, muttered the analysis from the intelligence report, his tone filled with astonishment: "A mere genin managed to kill four people, scare away three, and turn the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist into a 'lucky trio'—such a feat is simply legendary!"

The leaders of various countries suddenly realized why Gaara had been defeated so thoroughly.

This battle not only made Rock Lee famous overnight, but also made the name "Eight Gates" shock the entire ninja world once again.

When the audience in the square learned the truth, they were in an uproar: "Eight Gates... Might Dai" discussions rose and fell, and Konoha's reputation instantly soared.

Meanwhile, in another part of the Misty Forest, Bai Qi, Zi Long, and Xing Chi were walking around listlessly.

When ninjas from other countries saw the three of them, they either kept their distance or quickly took a detour, without even a chance to clash.

"How boring!"

Zilong clenched his fist, his tone displeased: "We came here to participate in the Chunin Exams, not to take a stroll!"

Bai Qi leaned against a tree trunk, his gaze sweeping across the distance: "Didn't you see? Ninjas from other countries are besieging and killing the people from Akatsuki Village. Nobody dares to mess with us."

Stephen Chow stroked his chin, then his eyes suddenly lit up: "How about... we disguise ourselves as Xiao Yin's men? That way, someone will definitely come and fight us!"

The suggestion was immediately agreed upon by the other two.

The three quickly found the bodies of Akatsuki ninjas who had been surrounded and killed nearby, secretly removed their headbands and black Akatsuki robes, and quickly put them on.

Soon, a series of hurried footsteps could be heard in the distance.

Three ninjas from Sunagakure were rushing towards them, and their eyes turned cold the moment they saw the headbands on their bodies.

"Finally, a fight!"

Zilong's eyes gleamed, and he clenched his fists, looking eager to try.

Three ninjas from Sunagakure quickly surrounded them. The ninja in the lead was tall and slender, none other than Shiro, an outstanding taijutsu ninja from Sunagakure.

He stared at the three, his voice icy: "Remnants of Akatsuki Village, today I, Shiro of Sunagakure, will send you to hell!"

Upon hearing the name "Zi Luo," Zi Long immediately became interested: "Your name is Zi Luo? My name is Zi Long! We both have the character 'Zi' in our names, so how about we have a match? Let's see who has the stronger martial arts skills!"

"A contest?"

Zilu's face grew even colder, her hands clenching into fists: "When your Land of Dawn invaded our Land of Wind, how many of your fellow Sand Village comrades did you kill? My mission isn't a contest, it's to send you to your deaths!"

After speaking, Zi Luo's chakra began to surge, and she used her self-created taijutsu technique, "Seven-Day Breathing Technique".

This "Seven-Day Breathing Technique" is renowned in Sunagakure, said to rival the Eight Gates. Its principle is to activate all the cells in the body by regulating breathing, thereby significantly increasing speed and strength. It is divided into seven levels of activation, with higher levels resulting in more significant increases in combat power.

However, at present, Violet can only use the fifth level of activity at most; going any higher would cause irreversible damage to her body.

"Seven-Day Breathing Technique - First Stage of Activity!"

Zi Luo let out a low shout, her breathing quickened instantly, and she took a big step forward, rushing towards Zi Long. Her fist, accompanied by the sound of wind breaking, was aimed straight at Zi Long's face.

Zi Long's eyes sharpened; he dared not be careless and dodged the punch by dodging it: "Good!"

The fist, carrying a sharp gust of wind, struck towards Violet's abdomen.

Zi Luo reacted extremely quickly, her footwork shifting swiftly to dodge the attack: "That was close! I almost got hit. It seems the enemy is a strong one. I must become stronger!"

"Secondary activity!"

Violet's speed and power increased again, and her attacks became even more ferocious, her fists raining down on Violet Dragon.

Zilong was very strong and fast. Every time he blocked, Zilu's arm went numb.

"The opponent is too strong... It seems I can't hold back... Third activation... Fourth activation!"

As Zi Luo continuously increased her activity level, the chakra around her turned deep red. Her speed was so fast that afterimages appeared, and the power of her fists could easily shatter rocks.

Zilong gradually became exhausted and could only defend passively. He was soon grazed by fists, leaving several bloody marks on his body.

Seeing the fourth activity level doesn't mean you can defeat the opponent!

Violet roared, "It's not over yet! Fifth Activation!"

His chakra erupted instantly, creating a large crater in the ground. His fist, carrying a world-destroying aura, slammed fiercely towards Shiryu.

Shiryu took a deep breath, his eyes hardening: "I have to admit, you're strong! That's piqued my interest: Sage Mode - Activate!"

His body was enveloped in pale golden chakra, and his aura instantly became calm and powerful.

"Take this! Rising Dragon Strike of Mount Lu!"

Zilong leaped into the air, unleashing golden dragon-shaped chakra from his fists, and flew towards Zilu like a golden dragon emerging from the sea.

Zi Luo's pupils shrank sharply, and he quickly raised his fists to protect himself, but the power of the golden dragon far exceeded his expectations.

With a loud "bang," Zi Luo was sent flying by the residual force, crashing heavily into a tree trunk, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and her active state was instantly deactivated.

Zilong walked up to Zilu but did not make a move.

"Your physical skills are impressive; the Seven-Day Breathing Technique truly lives up to its reputation. We're not from Akatsuki Village; we just want to spar with someone."

After saying that, he turned and waved to Bai Qi and Xing Chi: "Brothers, we should go. If we don't get to the fortress soon, the assessment will be over!"

Bai Qi and Xing Chi quickly followed, and the three of them soon disappeared into the mist.

Violet lay on the ground, looking in the direction they had left, her eyes filled with complex emotions...

These three guys beat someone up and ran away, really...
