Chapter 321 The Arrogant Killer Bee
Chapter 321 The Arrogant Killer Bee
Inside the Konoha Dome, the images on the three large screens kept changing, captivating the hearts of tens of thousands of viewers.
"Attention, viewers! Please pay attention to screen number one!"
On the commentary stage, Nishikawa Tetsu's voice suddenly rose, filled with an incredulous shock and fervor.
He held the headset with one hand, pointed at the screen with the other, and even leaned forward slightly.
"We have just witnessed a spectacular battle at the edge of the core area of the Death Forest."
On the big screen, the smoke and dust had not yet dissipated.
A specially made mechanical puppet, which had once gleamed with a cold metallic luster and caused numerous genin squads to suffer greatly, now lay sprawled in the center of a huge pit, emitting black smoke.
Its sturdy, pressure-resistant outer shell was like an eggshell shattered by a heavy hammer, breaking into pieces, exposing the intricate chakra conduction circuitry inside, which occasionally flashed with short-circuit sparks.
Beside the puppet's remains stood a burly young man.
Nishikawa Tetsu gripped the microphone tightly, explaining the scene that had just unfolded at an extremely fast pace:
"Just now, Killer Bee from Kumogakure, single-handedly, relying solely on his terrifying physical explosive power and that mysterious dark red chakra cloak, smashed our Science Research Institute's specially made puppet head-on."
"Did everyone see that? Faced with the puppet's barrage of fire, he didn't dodge or maneuver. He directly used a martial arts technique called Thunder Cleaver to cut the puppet in half."
"Is this the strength of the new generation of Kumogakure? It's simply breathtaking!"
Nishikawa Tetsu's commentary not only brought the atmosphere to a climax, but also inadvertently revealed Killer Bee's true strength to everyone.
"Now, Killer Bee has successfully obtained the four bracelets from the puppet! Combined with the ones he 'collected' in the forest before, it's safe to say that clearing the game is a sure thing."
Nishikawa Tetsu pointed at Killer Bee's leisurely figure on the screen, who was even starting to sway his body to a certain rhythm.
"And he's less than two kilometers from the finish line tower!"
"Could it be that the first person to clear the first Joint Chunin Exams, or even the final champion, will be born from this Cloud Village boy with his rap-like rhythm?!"
……
In the forest of death.
"Yo~yo~ I am the Eight-Tails of Kumogakure, the overlord of the rap world! I've fought my way through countless battles, none can stop me! Yeah~"
Accompanied by an extremely awful and off-key rap, Killer Bee swaggered down the main road leading to the tower with a ridiculous, swaggering dance.
His white one-shoulder vest was spotless, and there wasn't even much sweat on his forehead.
"This is so boring! So lonely!"
Killer Bee stopped dancing, sighed dramatically, and spread his hands, looking like he was smugly in a "lonely at the top" kind of guy.
"I thought the Forest of Death in Konoha might harbor some powerful monsters, or maybe I'd run into a few tough guys like that blond-haired guy. What happened?"
He casually pulled a handful of colorful identification bracelets from his pocket and tossed them around in his hand like a juggler.
"Heaven, Earth, and Human—we've almost collected three sets. These low-ranking ninjas are such weaklings. I didn't even finish drawing my sword before they were all lying on the ground."
Killer Bee couldn't help but purse his lips as he recalled the battles along the way.
Indeed, for a monster who has already begun to borrow the power of the Eight-Tails and whose taijutsu skills have even reached the level of a Jonin, the difficulty of this Chunin Exam is like a max-level player slaughtering a newbie village.
Those genin who tried to ambush him from the shadows were often sent flying by his brutal taijutsu before they even had a chance to form hand seals.
As for the ordinary puppets, they couldn't even last a single round against his fist, which was wrapped in lightning chakra, and were smashed into a pile of sparking scrap metal.
"The only somewhat interesting one..."
Killer Bee stopped throwing the bracelet and stroked his chin.
"That's the puppet we just encountered, the one that looks like a bamboo pole and can generate electricity."
He recalled the specially made puppet with an unknown code name, and a rare serious glint flashed in his eyes.
"That puppet actually had four bracelets hanging on it, and it was incredibly fast. Its outer shell was also quite hard."
Killer Bee recalled the scene and a smile of excitement appeared on his lips.
That was the only time he was forced to use the Eight-Tails' chakra after entering the examination hall.
At that time, the puppet was firing at full power, with dense chakra bullets and sharp melee light blades, which did cause him a lot of trouble.
If he hadn't promptly covered his body with a dark red tailed beast cloak, forcibly increasing his defense and speed, he might have actually been worn down by that thing.
"However, no matter how tough it is, it's still broken into pieces in front of me."
Killer Bee flashed a smug peace sign, as if still savoring the brief but intense battle.
"What a pity! Apart from that puppet, there's no other opponent in this examination hall who can get my blood pumping!"
"How lonely it is to be invincible."
He continued his rapping pace toward the tower, completely unaware of the outrage his arrogant demeanor had provoked on the giant screen of the Konoha Dome.
……
Konoha Dome, the audience seats.
"Damn! This big, black guy from Cloud Village is way too arrogant!"
"Exactly! Not only did they steal our Konoha examinees' bracelets, but they're also singing this awful song to mock us!"
"Referee! He fouled! He's definitely not a genin! What genin could have this kind of strength?!"
The Konoha audience was furious, pointing at the writhing Killer Bee and hurling insults.
Although they felt quite satisfied when they saw Killer Bee easily defeat the genin from other villages, their anger instantly shifted when he ruthlessly eliminated several genin from Konoha and even stole their bracelets.
"Quiet! Quiet!"
On the commentary stage, Nishikawa Toru had to raise his voice in an attempt to calm the agitated audience.
"Dear viewers, please remain calm!"
"I understand everyone's feelings, but I must clarify one point: Killer Bee's records in Kumogakure confirm that he is indeed a Genin. He has not participated in any promotion exams, which complies with the rules of this Joint Chunin Exams."
Although Nishikawa Tetsu was verbally upholding the rules, he had already cursed Yunyin a thousand times in his heart.
"The Fourth Raikage's move was really underhanded. Using Jinchuriki as genin not only made Konoha, but other villages also became stepping stones for him to establish his authority."
……
VIP seating.
The Fourth Raikage, A, was leaning back on the sofa, his smile brighter than any flower.
"Hahaha! Well done, better!"
Looking at Killer Bee's arrogant appearance on the screen, Ai felt a wave of relief wash away the gloom that had washed over her from Sasaki Cloud being robbed and Sogetsu's outburst.
"Did you see that? Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Onoki too!"
Ai made no attempt to hide his smugness and loudly mocked:
"This is the new generation of our Cloud Village! Faced with absolute power, all your fancy tactics, like explosive tag traps, are utter garbage!"
"Isn't Konoha supposed to be technologically advanced? Wasn't that electric puppet supposed to be pretty powerful? We still smashed it to pieces with a single punch!"
Ai's gaze swept defiantly over the figures present.
"We, the Hidden Cloud Village, are taking all the credit for this Chunin Exams. You'd better get your rewards ready."
Onoki snorted coldly, turned his head away, his big red nose puffing out in anger, but he couldn't refute it.
Just now, he witnessed a small team from Iwagakure being instantly defeated by Killer Bee, without even a chance to form hand seals.
"This is not a contest between genin at all." Granny Chiyo frowned as well. Several genin from Sunagakure were also eliminated by Killer Bee, and they were powerless to fight back.
Faced with A's arrogance, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, remained calm and composed, even taking a leisurely puff of his pipe.
"Young man, don't rush to conclusions."
The third generation exhaled a smoke ring, staring intently at the screen.
"This is only the second exam."
Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was actually uncertain inside.
Do we really want Obito to reveal his Kaleidoscope?
