Knowing Ryujiro's strength, Guy's expression suddenly changed.
"Ryujiro, are you serious?"
Kakashi, Kurenai, Asuma, and other Jonin's faces turned incredibly solemn as they kept their distance from Ryujiro and their own students.
"Hey, sand ninja."
"If you don't want to be affected, you better come over quickly."
Even now, Baki and the sand shinobi were still puzzled. What exactly were the Konoha shinobi up to?
Ryujiro let out a heavy sigh, a hint of pride flashing across his face.
Better not go too overboard.
Seventy percent of his strength should be enough.
*Swoosh!*
With Ryujiro's indiscernible draw of his sword, a dazzling dark red light flashed!
*Boom!*
A flying slash dozens of meters high erupted from the ground, its rolling sound akin to thunderous rumbling.
The dark red strike engulfed everything, like a terrifying tsunami swallowing all upon the sea.
Feeling the suffocating pressure, Sasuke, Sakura, Shikamaru, and the other genin couldn't help but hold their breath, their faces filled with horror.
The dreadful sword aura crushed everything invisible on the ground.
At that moment, the entire arena shook as if it could collapse at any moment, the sword aura tearing the earth apart with its terrifying force.
*Boom!* A loud explosion echoed throughout the arena, causing everyone to shiver in fear.
Thick dust covered the entire arena, and in the moment of the smoke's dispersal, everyone was left bewildered.
When the dust settled, both the Jonin and the examinees were stunned.
In front of them, the smooth surface of the entire arena seemed as if it had been slashed open, revealing a huge gap.
Most suffocatingly, the straight outline without end seemed to pierce into everyone's eyes like an abyss.
At this moment, the entire venue fell silent.
Even the air seemed to have solidified.
Baki's expression was horrified to the extreme, almost losing control as he shouted, "Are you kidding me! Is that your Konoha village's genin?!"
Such power was definitely at the level of an S-rank ninjutsu, and there weren't many S-rank ninjutsu capable of such terrain influence.
The only one capable of causing such an impact as demonstrated by Ryujiro was the Kage!
Konoha Village...
It was terrifying beyond belief.
Even after the Uchiha massacre, there was still such a terrifying sword genius hidden.
Could such a strike truly be accomplished with swordsmanship?
Was that black substance from before some special Kekkei Genkai?
Why did the gods favor the Konoha Village so much? Baki clenched his fists tightly, looking at Ryujiro with dread.
Tenten and Lee mouths were so wide open that they could probably fit even an ostrich egg inside.
Naruto and Hinata, who had seen Ryujiro cleave a mountain peak before, weren't too surprised. In fact, they had already prepared to face the storm earlier.
Orochimaru, disguised as a Jonin from the Sound Village, revealed an uncontrollable excitement in his dark serpent-like eyes.
Orochimaru was like a child who had found a treasure trove; the fanaticism in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
Ryujiro, this is your strength.
In such a short time, you've actually grown to this extent.
Indeed, you're special.
It's a pity.
If I had taken you away earlier, you would have been the best vessel.
Orochimaru regretted a bit that he didn't capture Ryujiro when they first met.
Now, the other had grown to this level, he was no longer someone he could easily deal with.
Moreover, that terrifying strike...
It seemed to require little effort to produce.
Orochimaru couldn't help but suspect whether that strike was also a special Kekkei Genkai.
A person possessing two Kekkei Genkai...
This had never happened in the history of the ninja world.
"Is this his strength?"
Sasuke, with empty eyes, looked at the straight outline on the ground.
At this moment, Sasuke felt as if there was no end in sight, as if he could never surpass Ryujiro in this lifetime.
Even Hiruzen, holding his smoking pipe, was trembling. Although he already knew Ryujiro's strength, the impact of seeing it firsthand still stunned him.
"So, for this exam, the Jonin present..."
"Do you think Ryujiro still needs to participate in the Chunin exam?"
Are you kidding me?
With someone like him, the outcome of the Chunin exam was already obvious. Now, they didn't even have the courage to face Ryujiro directly.
Baki remained silent for a long time. "I have no objections."
"Me neither..."
"Nor do we."
Good.
Seeing that the Jonin had no objections, Hiruzen smiled with relief.
"Then, in the name of the Third Hokage, I officially declare you as a special Jonin of the village."
What!
Directly promoted to Jonin!
All the examinees widened their eyes, their expressions incredulous.
Directly promoting to Jonin, such a thing had never happened in the history of Konoha.
But if Ryujiro's strength was announced as that of a Chunin, it indeed wouldn't match his actual ability.
The people present were only slightly shocked, and they didn't have much objection to Ryujiro becoming a special Jonin.
"Special Jonin, huh."
"A Kage-level ninja."
All the Jonins knew that after today, Ryujiro's name would resonate throughout the entire ninja world, becoming an undeniable force to reckon with, for the major villages.
