The Third Hokage immediately grew worried:
"But the opponent is using Lava Release, which combines Earth and Fire! Can he beat him?!"
And the opponent didn't stand there like a statue waiting for the strike; he immediately activated his Kekkei Genkai.
"Lava Bullet!"
The opponent, after all, had a physical body.
Even taking into account the chakra suppression factor, it didn't have the best effect.
Satoru's attack barely deflected the opponent's ninjutsu.
"Ha-ha-ha-ha! So this is your signature technique? Why does it feel like your attacks are getting weaker and weaker? Ha-ha-ha!"
Sakama was very pleased.
He considered his Lava Release invincible.
"Ha!"
Satoru roared.
He and his shadow clone continued pouring chakra.
The weakened Chakra Fruit he had eaten and the absorbed and purified chakra played their role at this moment.
They continuously replenished Satoru's chakra, allowing him to hold out longer.
However, the current situation was still not optimistic.
The opponent's attacks were getting stronger and stronger.
After all, Lava Bullets could be fired continuously.
Satoru's ninjutsu attacks, on the other hand, were hard to use repeatedly.
He could only continue using techniques to ensure his own safety.
"It's not working! Damn it! I didn't expect three-element ninjutsu wouldn't overcome Kekkei Genkai based on two-element fusion!"
Satoru vowed that in the future he would definitely study Kekkei Genkai.
"If three elements of chakra aren't enough! Then four!"
Satoru prepared to use a shadow clone to take another wave of the opponent's attacks.
And Sakama laughed loudly.
"If I'm not mistaken, you must have three chakra natures? You're already very strong! Even among jonin, very few have three chakra natures.
"You said you'd be even more special, but I want to say that I am the most special!
"All from the Hidden Grass Village lost, but only I made it here. You still don't understand why?
"I possess Kekkei Genkai! A new element formed by mixing two chakra natures! It's definitely much stronger than your so-called combined ninjutsu! That's the difference between people!
"You can't surpass me! You'll never surpass me! You're destined to be defeated by me in this battle!
"Daimyo! This is the power of the Hidden Grass Village!"
Sakama smugly rattled off a lot.
"I didn't expect Satoru to meet such a strong opponent! If it were me, I don't know if I could beat him," Minato Namikaze couldn't help commenting.
"Satoru will definitely win! He still has a lot of chakra left!"
Yoshime watched very attentively.
Even if no one else believed in Satoru, Yoshime supported him unconditionally.
That's what a true comrade means.
And Satoru ignored Sakama's words.
Since ancient times, villains died from their talkativeness, so Satoru made perfect use of this opportunity.
While Sakama was chattering nonstop, Satoru immediately regrouped, concentrated his chakra, and used a shadow clone.
Sakama noticed Satoru and said:
"You're still not giving up? Konoha brat! I know you're very strong! But you're just a brat after all. Brats like you have plenty of room to grow. No need to suffer for victory, don't you think? I'm giving you a chance, surrender."
Satoru smirked coldly and replied:
"You're joking? I don't believe you can withstand another of my attacks!
"Water Release: Water Dragon Technique!"
Satoru's shadow clone used Water Release at that moment.
There was no water on the arena, so Satoru's use of Water Release could be said to require quite a bit of chakra.
"Water Release?!"
Sakama standing before him was somewhat surprised but quickly recovered.
After all, Water Release alone couldn't defeat him.
"Lava Bullet!"
Sakama spat an energy projectile of chakra from his mouth, which was actually a huge fireball.
The Water Dragon collided with the fireball but didn't stop it, though the flames were significantly weakened.
"Explosive Flying Thunder Fire Dragon!"
Satoru immediately used combined ninjutsu again.
The three techniques collided with his own Water Dragon and quickly began to interact.
"Water Release and Lightning Release are compatible! Wind Release and Fire Release are compatible! This is combined ninjutsu from four chakra natures!!"
The Third Hokage was extremely shocked.
He hadn't expected his student to have reached such a level.
"Combined ninjutsu from four chakra natures! I'll call it Four-Wheeled Reincarnation Explosion!"
Satoru borrowed the name from Otsutsuki Toneri's Tenseigan.
The power of the combined ninjutsu had long surpassed jonin level, not to mention four chakra natures.
"This is impossible! Using Water Release on land! And managing to combine four natures! Is this guy that much of a genius?!"
"I must use all my power!"
Sakama formed seals and roared:
"Giant Lava Bullet!"
This time Sakama directly created a massive fireball.
This fireball was all of Sakama's remaining chakra.
It could be said that even if he defeated Satoru, he wouldn't have strength or chakra left for subsequent fights.
However, participating in the tournament was just a formality; the main thing was to defeat the opponent.
And at this moment, Sakama desperately wanted to defeat Satoru, his strongest opponent.
"Your name is Satoru, I'll remember it! You're very strong! But I'm stronger than you! You're special! But I'm even more special! I'll withstand all attacks! You definitely won't break through me!"
Sakama's attacks grew more terrifying.
The spectators around were completely stunned, not expecting a genin battle to rival Kage level!
Satoru smiled faintly.
He wasn't afraid at all.
He had already used four natures, and the inexhaustible flow of chakra in his body was his reliable support.
"Time to end it! This fight has dragged on too long!"
Satoru looked calmly at his opponent.
The Four-Wheeled Reincarnation Explosion collided with the Giant Lava Bullet, and various chemical reactions occurred immediately.
Due to the excessive number of chakra natures and the clash with the Giant Lava Bullet, the ninjutsu released by the two opponents directly caused a massive explosion at that moment.
"Protect the spectators!" the Third Hokage ordered immediately.
The barrier technique squad promptly used barrier ninjutsu, shielding all the high-ranking officials in the stands.
Of course, the regular spectators were also protected.
"What a terrifying attack! Are these young people this strong now?!"
The Third Hokage was also somewhat surprised.
This Chunin Exam had geniuses aplenty.
He hadn't expected such fierce competition this time.
"Is Satoru okay?!" Yoshime asked worriedly.
"Of course. This guy's power isn't limited to this. He still has aces up his sleeve he hasn't used," Minato Namikaze knew Satoru possessed a special Lightning Release.
Its power was comparable to the Raikage's.
Since Satoru hadn't used Lightning Release, it meant he still wanted to hide his strength, and he could definitely defeat the enemy.
"Ha-ha-ha!"
"Ha-ha-ha..."
On the arena, the two ninjas were breathing very unevenly.
One was Satoru, the other naturally Sakama from the Hidden Grass Village.
