Naruto, my father's name is Uchiha Madara.

Toad Flame's tongue slammed hard into Red Copper Kai's arms!

Red Copper Kai felt an unimaginable force coming from him, and his arms were in excruciating pain.

As if struck by a battering ram, his feet left the ground, and he flew backward uncontrollably!

What terrified him even more was that his invincible "Devouring Hand" was indeed frantically absorbing the chakra from the tongue.

But this chakra... was scorching, violent, and full of explosive fire-attribute energy!

Like magma, it surged into the meridians of his arm, bringing excruciating, tearing pain.

The rate of absorption is far slower than the damage caused by the impact!

His arm instantly turned bright red, and his skin even emitted a slight burnt smell!

With a scream, Chi Tong Kai crashed heavily to the ground more than ten meters away, his arms trembling uncontrollably.

A charred whip mark was clearly imprinted on it, the absorbed violent fire-attribute chakra surging wildly within his body, causing him unbearable pain.

"Hehe, how does it taste? My chakra isn't so easy to digest!"

Toad Flame smugly withdrew its tongue and licked its lips, as if it had merely swatted away a fly.

Red Copper Kai struggled to his feet, his eyes filled with horror and resentment.

He realized that touching the toad was extremely dangerous!

We must change tactics! He slammed his hands down on the ground, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace: "Earth Release: Earth Prison Hall!"

He's going to trap this toad!

Thick earthen walls rose up instantly, forming a huge square cage that trapped the massive body of the Toad Flame inside!

The top of the earthen wall quickly closed, forming a closed dome!

"Toad Flame!" Sasuke's heart tightened.

"Hmph! You dare to show off your petty skills!"

A muffled, thunderous roar, filled with utter disdain, echoed from within the earthen cell: "Sasuke, get ready! I'll show you my signature move!"

Before the words were even finished, a huge bulge suddenly appeared on the top of the sealed earthen cell!

"puff--!"

With a dull cracking sound, a stream of viscous toad oil burst through the top of the earthen prison like a fountain, shooting into the air!

Immediately afterwards, Toadflame's enormous tongue, covered in viscous toad oil, followed the oil column like chains from hell.

It emerged from the breach like lightning!

The moment the tongue is extended, the toad oil adhering to its surface seems to ignite, instantly bursting into flames.

The entire tongue transformed into a giant, raging fire whip.

Fire Release: Toad Oil Flame Tongue Whip!

A huge, long tongue burning with raging flames, carrying terrifyingly high temperatures that could incinerate everything and a whistling sound that cuts through the air.

Like a whip from the heavens, it slashed through the air with unparalleled precision at Akabane Kai, who had just used Earth Release and was in a state where his old power had just been exhausted and his new power had not yet been generated!

Red Copper Kai's pupils instantly shrank to pinpoints!

The flaming whip that descended from the sky covered an extremely large area and moved at a speed beyond imagination!

He tried to dodge, but his body was a beat slower due to the backlash and the disorder of his chakra!

In despair, he could only raise his burning arms again, trying to repeat the same trick!

"Devouring Hand! Absorb it—!"

However, this time, what he touched was not a pure chakra energy body, but a physical burning enveloped in raging flames!

"Crack—BOOM!!!"

The giant tongue of burning flame slammed into the arms of the copper-clad Kai!

The first sound was the crisp cracking of bones breaking!

The moment the copper armor made contact, its arms were snapped off like rotten wood by the tongue, which contained immense force and high temperature!

The toad oil and raging flames clinging to his tongue, like maggots clinging to his bones, instantly ignited Crimson Copper Kai's body!

The flames, like a greedy demon, frantically licked his skin, hair, and clothes!

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!!!"

A piercing, terrifying scream echoed throughout the training ground!

In an instant, Crimson Copper Kai transformed into a fiercely burning fireman!

He rolled and thrashed wildly on the ground.

But the viscous toad oil was like a persistent infection, making the flames burn even brighter!

In just two or three seconds, the piercing screams came to an abrupt end.

Only a human-shaped, charred, curled-up object remained in the original location.

Wisps of smoke and tiny flames were still rising from the surface, and the air was filled with the stench of burning protein.

At the same time, the earthen prison that had trapped Toad Flame collapsed completely with a loud "boom".

The massive body of the Toad Flame stood unharmed amidst the smoke and dust.

It retracted its long tongue, which was still radiating heat and smoke, and licked its lips with lingering satisfaction, as if savoring the "barbecue" it had just enjoyed.

Its enormous eyes glanced at the pile of charred remains, and it sneered contemptuously: "Hmph, overestimating yourself, those who dare to try to devour the flames will ultimately be devoured by the flames."

The entire training ground fell into a deathly silence.

All the viewers, whether they were genin or jonin, were completely shocked by the ending of this battle, which happened in the blink of an eye and was extremely brutal and violent!

The entire training ground was deathly silent.

Everyone was completely shocked by this devastating attack! Even Kakashi, standing in the Jonin stands, had an extremely solemn expression on his face behind his mask.

Even Hayate Gekko was so startled by the power that he coughed several times before managing to steady his voice and loudly announce, "The...the winner! Uchiha Sasuke!"

As soon as the announcement was made, Sasuke's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he could no longer hold on.

He knelt on one knee, panting heavily, his face as pale as paper.

The curse mark on the back of the neck temporarily subsided after the massive chakra release, but the burn marks became even clearer and more ferocious.

"Hey kid, are you alright?"

The giant toad flame slowly turned around, looked down at Sasuke, and said with a hint of smugness, "I had a lot of fun this time. Call me again next time you have the chance."

After saying that, without waiting for Sasuke's response, he disappeared in a huge plume of white smoke with a "pop".

"Sasuke-kun!"

Sakura rushed down from the stands to Sasuke's side and anxiously checked on his condition.

Naruto followed closely behind. Although he had been shocked by Sasuke's outburst, his face was now filled with worry and lingering fear: "Hey! Sasuke! How are you? Don't push yourself!"

With Sakura's help, Sasuke managed to stand up.

He glanced at the terrifying, charred crater in the center of the field, then at his own slightly trembling hands.

That last blow almost drained his last bit of strength.

"I am fine."

He said it, but now Sasuke can only stand up with the help of Naruto and Sakura.

Soon, under the arrangement of the medical team, Sasuke was carried into the infirmary on a stretcher.

Regardless, he won this battle.

As for the other one, we can only ask the logistics team to collect the body.

After all, the Chunin Exams are a deadly affair, and no one can guarantee the safety and reliability of the entire process.

Chapter 82, Scene 2: The Hyuga Clan Civil War

In the stands, the oppressive silence was replaced by whispers, and shocked, fearful, and excited gazes intertwined.

Despite his cough, Moonlight Gale announced the start of the next match.

"Second group,"

As his hoarse voice rang out, the names of the two competitors appeared on the screen: "Hinata Hyuga versus Neji Hyuga! Please enter the arena, both fighters!"

This combination of names was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up even bigger waves among the Konoha genin.

The Hyuga clan! And it's the eldest daughter of the main family versus a genius from the branch family!

Naruto, who was still reeling from Sasuke's pyrrhic victory, looked up upon hearing these two names: "Hinata?! Neji?!"

He subconsciously looked in Hinata's direction.

Hinata's petite body trembled noticeably, and her fair cheeks instantly lost all color.

Those pure Byakugan eyes, filled with barely concealed fear and panic, looked at Neji, who was slowly walking down the steps opposite them.

Neji walked with a steady gait and a cold expression. The headband wrapped around his forehead was particularly glaring under the light.

He exuded a cold aura that kept strangers at bay, like a block of ice that would never melt.

"Hinata..." Kiba whispered worriedly, and Akamaru also let out an uneasy sob.

Shino silently pushed up his sunglasses.

As Hinata's teammates, the two of them knew best about Hinata's situation in the Hyuga clan.

He can't compare to Neji, and he's not even as good as his sister Hanabi.

Even when Kurenai went to the Hyuga family to explain the situation, Hiashi Hyuga, that old guy, had an attitude of "whatever."

It's infuriating to watch.

At this moment, Hinata lowered her head, her hands tightly gripping the hem of her clothes, her knuckles turning white from the force.

Her steps were small and hesitant, as if she were walking on a red-hot iron instead of a hard stone slab.
