Inoiki shifted his focus to the massive four-headed boa snake wreaking havoc on the battlefield. Despite the coordinated efforts of tens of ninjas led by Ibiki, the beast remained uncontrollable, its thick scales deflecting every attack.
Standing on a high platform to direct the assault, Ibiki clenched his fists, frustration evident in his voice. "This snake is too strong for us. We can't even scratch it. Our kunai and shuriken are useless against its scales!"
As the tension mounted, a calm voice spoke from behind. "Need some help?"
The unexpected sound startled the ninjas standing beside Ibiki. They spun around, weapons drawn, ready to face the intruder. Their surprise deepened when they saw the figure behind them—it was Inoiki, floating effortlessly above the platform.
Ibiki turned, recognition flashing in his eyes. "Inoiki? You're here? What's happening at the exam venue?"
Inoiki's expression remained calm, but his tone carried the weight of urgency. "Orochimaru has disguised himself as the Kazekage. He's currently fighting Hokage-sama. They're both trapped inside a sealing barrier created by Orochimaru's subordinates. The ANBU are working to break the barrier, but when I left, there had been no progress."
Ibiki nodded grimly, absorbing the information. His gaze shifted back to the enormous snake that continued its rampage. "What about this thing? Can you handle it?" he asked, pointing toward the four-headed giant boa.
Inoiki's eyes narrowed as he assessed the creature. "Yes," he said with quiet confidence. "Here's what I need you to do: gather all the ninjas who have large weapons—anything the size of Fuma shuriken or bigger. Bring their weapons here. As for the rest of your men, pull them back. They're wasting their efforts and risking their lives for no reason. Have them redirect their focus to dealing with the scattered Suna and Oto ninjas instead."
Ibiki nodded, trusting Inoiki's capabilities. He remembered that Inoiki had fought and injured Orochimaru not long ago—a feat few could claim. His faith in Inoiki's abilities was evident. "Alright," he said. Turning to the other ninjas, he barked out orders, "You heard him! Gather every large weapon we have and fall back. The rest of you, regroup and focus on taking out the enemy forces spread across the village!"
The ninjas sprang into action, quickly mobilizing to carry out Ibiki's commands. Meanwhile, Inoiki hovered above, his sharp gaze locked on the colossal snake, calculating his next move.
Within minutes, five massive, arm-length shuriken were gathered in front of Inoiki. As per his instructions, all ninjas had ceased their attacks on the giant snake and retreated to safety.
The colossal four-headed snake, undeterred, continued its path of destruction, toppling buildings and crushing anything in its way. Sensing the concentrated presence of ninjas in one location, it began moving toward Inoiki and Ibiki.
----
Inoiki wasted no time. He floated into the air, his form glowing faintly as his psychokinetic power activated. The five giant shuriken rose with him, orbiting around his figure like lethal sentinels. Without hesitation, Inoiki flew directly toward the snake, his every move calculated and deliberate.
Seeing Inoiki in the air, the snake immediately focused its attention on him. All four heads turned, their glowing, predatory eyes locked onto their new target.
One of the five shuriken floated to Inoiki's right hand, hovering close under his control. In a smooth motion, he channeled lightning into the massive weapon. Sparks crackled and danced across the shuriken's surface as it began to glow with an electric blue aura. It spun faster and faster, its edges becoming a blur of deadly light.
With precision and focus, Inoiki aimed at the giant snake. The electrified shuriken shot forward, moving at blinding speed, a streak of blue light cutting through the air.
The shuriken struck one of the snake's heads, piercing through its thick scales and burrowing deep into its skull. The impact was devastating—the shuriken reached the brain in an instant, and the massive head slumped lifelessly to the ground.
The remaining three heads hissed in fury, their movements wild as they turned toward Inoiki, now their primary target.
Inoiki, undeterred, calmly prepared his next move.
Inoiki prepared another giant shuriken, charging it with crackling lightning. As the weapon began to glow with electric energy, he muttered to himself, "It's a good thing my studies in biology paid off. Judging by the size of this snake's head, I can roughly estimate the position of its brain. Thankfully, my last strike hit the mark and killed it instantly."
With precision and focus, Inoiki aimed at the second head of the four-headed snake. The charged shuriken spun furiously before launching forward, a streak of blue light cutting through the air. The weapon struck true, piercing through the snake's tough scales and embedding itself deep in the brain.
The second head slumped lifelessly to the ground.
The remaining two heads hissed in fury, their massive jaws snapping as they turned toward Inoiki. The snake's rage was palpable, its movements wild and erratic as it lunged to attack.
Inoiki, however, remained calm. Floating with ease, he dodged the ferocious strikes with agility and speed, staying just out of reach. As he evaded, his third shuriken was already charged with lightning, its glow intensifying with every passing second.
Without hesitation, he unleashed it. The spinning weapon shot forward, striking the third head with devastating accuracy. The massive serpent let out a guttural hiss before the third head collapsed, motionless.
Now, only one head remained.
----
The fourth head struggled to move, its mobility hindered by the weight of its fallen counterparts. Still, it hissed defiantly, its glowing eyes locked on Inoiki as it made one final attempt to attack.
The head lunged forward, but Inoiki effortlessly evaded the strike, floating gracefully out of harm's way. By now, the fourth and final shuriken was fully charged with lightning. Sparks crackled along its edges as it spun violently, ready to be unleashed.
Inoiki didn't hesitate. He launched the shuriken with deadly precision, aiming directly for the brain of the fourth head. The electrified weapon pierced through the snake's skull, delivering a killing blow. The final head dropped heavily to the ground, its life extinguished.
----
The massive four-headed boa that had breached Konoha's walls and wreaked havoc was finally defeated.
As the colossal body of the snake lay still, the battlefield grew quiet. Inoiki hovered above, his calm gaze sweeping over the scene, ensuring the threat had been fully neutralized. The rampaging serpent, which had seemed unstoppable moments ago, was no more.
Ibiki couldn't hide his relief and joy as he watched the colossal four-headed snake finally fall. "Alright, everyone!" he called out, his voice carrying over the battlefield. "With the giant snake dealt with, thanks to Inoiki, we can focus all our efforts on repelling the Sunagakure ninjas!"
----
Just as Inoiki descended after finishing off the snake, five kunai tied with Explosive Tags whizzed through the air toward him. Their trajectory was precise, clearly aimed to take him out.
Inoiki reacted instantly. With a simple wave of his hand, the kunai froze in mid-air, held by his Psychokinesis. A moment later, they dropped harmlessly to the ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The explosive tags detonated in rapid succession, the shockwaves sending dust and debris flying. Yet Inoiki remained untouched, his calm figure emerging unscathed from the cloud of smoke.
-----
Using his sharp sensory ability, Inoiki quickly located the attackers. Two Oto ninjas and four Suna ninjas stood hidden among the rubble, their eyes wide with alarm as they realized their attack had failed.
Inoiki didn't hesitate. He surged forward, his body glowing faintly with sky-blue light as he flew through the air, cutting a direct path toward them. The last of his giant shuriken floated menacingly by his side, spinning with a faint hum.
The six enemy ninjas tensed, panic creeping into their movements as the psychic powerhouse bore down on them. They had no idea what was coming, but they knew one thing for certain: they had underestimated Inoiki. And now, they would face the consequences.
