Could it be that Chen Anxia had been biding his time and hiding his true strength all along?
Not only Kakashi and Kurenai, but Hiruzen Sarutobi also thought the same way.
For Hiruzen Sarutobi, it was unacceptable for any unstable elements to appear in the Hidden Leaf Village under his rule.
Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi is already considering testing Chen Anxia's true strength and talent after the freshman entrance ceremony.
Therefore, a new plan was formulated targeting Chen Anxia.
While pondering this, Hiruzen Sarutobi was also curious, wondering why Chen Anxia had exposed himself at this time, and what he wanted to do now.
Thinking about it, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the short sword in Chen Anxia's hand and frowned slightly.
Immediately afterward, Hiruzen Sarutobi gave a signal with his eyes to the teachers responsible for security and vigilance next to the group of new students.
The teachers, having received the signal, quickly came to their senses and began organizing the freshmen's evacuation, while keeping a watchful eye on Chen Anxia to prevent him from suddenly turning on them.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, all the other freshmen evacuated safely, leaving only Naruto Uzumaki standing there with his head down in dejection.
During this time, Iruka Umino wanted to take Naruto Uzumaki away, but he was stopped by the teachers around him.
During this process, Shuimu finally realized what was happening.
Turning around to look at Chen Anxia, who was continuing to walk towards Naruto Uzumaki with his own short sword in his hand, Mizuki felt extremely humiliated.
In Shui Mu's opinion, it was because he was careless that he failed to notice Chen Anxia's teleportation technique, which led to Chen Anxia taking away his dagger in full view of everyone.
This immense humiliation ignited boundless rage within Shui Mu, who roared inwardly, "Why does this parasite dare to ignore me? Just because he knows the Instantaneous Movement Technique?"
Driven by anger, Mizuki suddenly became ruthless and quickly pulled out several kunai from his ninja tool bag, then threw them with all his might at Chen Anxia's vital parts.
Kakashi and Kurenai, who had been watching this scene, wanted to intervene and stop the kunai.
In Kakashi and Kurenai's view, even if Chen Anxia knew the Body Flicker Technique, his strength was at most that of a Genin. Facing the full-force attack of Mizuki, who was a Chunin, he was likely to be injured or even... killed!
Regardless of Chen Anxia's previous image, he is ultimately a member of Konoha Village. Unless he has committed a serious mistake, Kakashi and Kurenai Yuhi naturally cannot allow this situation to occur.
Needless to say, Chen Anxia has already shown some of his talent.
However, before Kakashi and Kurenai could make a move, Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped them.
Seeing this, Kakashi and Kurenai were somewhat puzzled and had a misconception.
However, although they did not understand Hiruzen Sarutobi's intentions, they did not disobey him and tacitly refrained from attacking.
The next moment, under everyone's gaze, Chen Anxia made the motion of drawing his sword.
Ding!Ding!Ding!
As a clang of metal rang out, sparks flew around Chen Anxia.
Amidst the shocked and incredulous gazes of everyone, Chen Anxia cut down all of Mizuki's kunai.
Most importantly, they didn't even see Chen Anxia's slashing motion; they only saw him draw and sheathe his sword.
It's as if the slashing motion in the middle was omitted, which is simply unbelievable.
Even Kakashi, Kurenai Yuhi, and Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but show expressions of shock at this moment.
Kakashi couldn't help but murmur in shock, "Such a fast slash!"
It's important to know that Kakashi's swordsmanship was inherited from his father, Sakumo Hatake, the White Fang of Konoha.
Even Kakashi couldn't see Chen Anxia's slash clearly, which gives an idea of how fast Chen Anxia's slash was.
In Kakashi's memory, the last person whose slashes he couldn't catch was his father, Hatake Sakumo.
'Could it be that Chen Anxia's swordsmanship is now comparable to his father's?'
The thought suddenly popped into Kakashi's mind, making him feel absurd, yet it wouldn't go away.
Shuimu, who launched the attack, was also shocked by Chen Anxia's slash, and his mind went blank.
Just then, Mizuki suddenly sensed an extremely terrifying killing intent locking onto him.
Although Shui Mu was unwilling to believe it, she knew that this terrifying killing intent came from Chen Anxia.
At the same time, Shui Mu also knew that if he dared to make any more reckless moves, death would be waiting for him.
An indescribable fear gripped her entire body at that moment, causing her to tremble uncontrollably. Cold sweat seeped from every pore of her body without her realizing it, quickly soaking through her clothes.
But Shui Mu dared not move an inch, remaining rooted to the spot, enduring immense, unspeakable pressure, her mind and body on the verge of collapse.
Chen Anxia ignored Mizuki and walked straight to Naruto's side.
Naruto Uzumaki, who was immersed in his own lonely world, sensed that someone had come to his side.
Subconsciously, Naruto Uzumaki looked up at Chen Anxia, who had come to his side, with some disbelief.
Just as Naruto looked up, Chen Anxia reached out and gently placed his hand on Naruto's head, stroking it softly, saying, "You did nothing wrong. The fault lies with this village, with the Third Hokage on the platform, and with this world."
As he spoke, Chen Anxia turned his gaze to Hiruzen Sarutobi on the stage and continued, "Naruto Uzumaki, remember this: you are the son of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, the hero who saved the village."
"Your birth should have brought you glory, but because of the selfishness of the person in front of you, you have suffered all kinds of unfair treatment over the years."
As he spoke, Chen Anxia used his other hand, imbued with chakra, to slowly lift his bangs, causing them to stand upside down and adhere to his scalp, revealing his handsome face.
At the same time, Chen Anxia continued in a powerful voice, "Now I ask you, are you willing to join me in destroying this flawed world and creating a brand new, correct world?"
......
Chapter 575 Celebration, the reborn Naruto Uzumaki!
At this moment, the expressions of those present had changed because of Chen Anxia's words, and their eyes revealed shock, disbelief, and incredulity.
If Chen Anxia's words are true, then wouldn't that mean that Naruto Uzumaki, who has been ostracized by them all along, is actually the son of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze?
They found this fact hard to accept.
Because they cannot face, and have no face to face, all that they have done to Naruto Uzumaki, the son of a hero, over the years.
The thought of Naruto Uzumaki's father, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, sacrificing himself for the village and its people, and how they were repaying his son in this way, filled them with shame.
On the stage, Kurenai Yuhi's expression also became one of surprise and uncertainty.
Without a doubt, Kurenai Yuhi, as a Jonin, was already a core figure in Konoha, yet she still didn't know about this matter.
So, if what Chen Anxia said is true, why would the village's higher-ups conceal this fact?
Is it really that difficult to admit that Naruto Uzumaki is Minato Namikaze's son? Can't it be made public?
With her experience and perspective, Kurenai knew that if this were true, there were many things that needed to be examined.
For example, why did the higher-ups in Konoha treat the son of a hero in this way?
The various thoughts flashing through her mind made Kurenai instinctively reject this fact and unwilling to accept it.
As for Kakashi, he had actually guessed Naruto's identity long ago.
After all, Kakashi was Minato Namikaze's student.
The reason Kakashi hasn't intervened in taking care of Naruto all these years is because he's also noticed that there are ANBU members constantly watching Naruto.
As a former member of the Anbu, Kakashi knew many of the dark sides of the village and that Naruto's plight was definitely related to the Konoha leadership, so Kakashi could not interfere in taking care of Naruto.
Kakashi, however, didn't know how Chen Anxia knew about this. Was it because she deduced it like him, or...?
For Naruto Uzumaki, who was in the depths of loneliness, Chen Anxia, who appeared beside him at this moment, was like the only light shining in, so warm and dazzling that he couldn't take his eyes off her.
At the same time, Chen Anxia's words resonated in Naruto's mind like a morning bell and evening drum.
Naruto Uzumaki murmured, as if to himself, or perhaps to ask and confirm, "I'm not wrong. The village is wrong, the Third Hokage is wrong, and this world is wrong?"
In response, Chen Anxia reached out and gently stroked Naruto's head again, saying with certainty, "Ah, you are not wrong. You are the son of a hero. What wrong have you done?"
"What you perceive as a mistake is merely an imposition imposed upon you by this seemingly kind old man on the stage..."
This time, before Chen Anxia could finish speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi, his expression furious, shouted, "Chen Anxia, what exactly is your purpose in using lies to bewitch people?"
As he spoke, Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to realize something, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he questioned, "Wait, are you really Chen Anxia?"
It must be said that Hiruzen Sarutobi has been very successful in cultivating his prestige in Konoha over the years.
As soon as Hiruzen Sarutobi uttered his question, those who were unwilling to accept the truth found their organization and support, and they all followed Hiruzen Sarutobi's words to comfort themselves and to convince themselves that Chen Anxia was lying.
Of course, they also began to doubt Chen Anxia's identity because of Hiruzen Sarutobi's words.
Indeed, Chen Anxia was a complete academic failure before, so how could someone like her possess the strength that the current Chen Anxia is displaying?
Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi's suspicions are reasonable.
As Hiruzen Sarutobi questioned him, the hidden ANBU members all appeared, surrounding Chen Anxia from all sides and assuming attack stances.
However, they did not launch an attack immediately, but waited for Hiruzen Sarutobi's order.
Once Hiruzen Sarutobi gives the order, they will not hesitate to attack Chen Anxia.
Hiruzen Sarutobi did not issue a direct order. This was not because Hiruzen Sarutobi cared about Chen Anxia's life, but because Hiruzen Sarutobi was worried that Chen Anxia would act desperately and harm Naruto Uzumaki.
Although Hiruzen Sarutobi was the mastermind behind Naruto Uzumaki's childhood misfortunes, this does not mean that Hiruzen Sarutobi was truly indifferent to Naruto Uzumaki.
On the contrary, Hiruzen Sarutobi cared more about Naruto Uzumaki than anyone else.
Because Naruto Uzumaki is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, a strategic weapon unique to Konoha Village.
Not only Konoha Village, but all five major ninja villages currently have their own Jinchuriki, thus achieving a balance.
The balance would be broken if any village lost its Jinchūriki, so Naruto Uzumaki must not suffer any accidents.
However, although Hiruzen Sarutobi did not issue an order to attack, he secretly issued an order to 'rescue' Naruto Uzumaki.
Now, all Hiruzen Sarutobi needs to do is buy time so that the Anbu, who have already begun their operation, can 'rescue' Naruto Uzumaki.
In an attempt to buy time, Hiruzen Sarutobi stared intently at Chen Anxia, seemingly trying to use his authority to force Chen Anxia to give him the answer he wanted.
What Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't know was that, in Chen Anxia's eyes, which had awakened the Eye of Origin, nothing could be hidden.
Therefore, neither Hiruzen Sarutobi's small actions nor the actions of the Anbu that had already begun their operations escaped Chen Anxia's notice.
Without hesitation, Chen Anxia's hands began to form hand seals rapidly, completing the seals almost instantly and ultimately forming the Yin Seal.
On the stage, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Chen Anxia's hand seals, his expression changing slightly, and he said in disbelief, "This hand seal is!?"
Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could finish speaking, Chen Anxia shouted, "Earth Release: Great River of Earth!"
The moment Chen Anxia finished speaking, a patch of land not far from him instantly transformed into a river of mud, sweeping away the Dark Army members who were hiding underground using Earth Escape: Heart Decapitation Technique.
