Feeling the surge of terrifying power coursing through his body, Leo's gaze turned icy as he fixed his eyes on the three Cloud Ninja's

"Om—"

The air grew heavy with his emanating sword intent, a wave of pressure that sent chills through the surroundings.

"Om-Qiang!"

Purple-black energy enveloped the blade of Shusui in Leo's grasp. The dazzling steel-like aura radiated menace, the currents of energy crackling and sparking with life.

The black blade pulsed with excitement, responding eagerly to Leo's mastery. With armed Haki infused into it, Shusui reached its peak potential—a dream weapon for any swordsman.

As the purple-black currents fused with a mysterious sword intent, arcs of electricity danced along Leo's body, coalescing into a terrifying spectral figure.

Shura Sword Intent—Activated!

"Boom! Boom!"

The ground trembled as if the earth itself cowered in fear. Trees swayed violently, and the sky darkened under ominous clouds.

A massive, spectral Shura took form behind Leo, growing more solid and immense with every passing moment. Purple-black arcs surged through the figure, radiating an aura of unparalleled destruction.

The scene left the others paralyzed in terror.

"What... what is this?" Inuzuka Aki stammered, his voice trembling as he struggled to comprehend the overwhelming presence. Beside him, his ninja dog, Ziwan, whimpered and trembled uncontrollably.

Even Haruki Hyuga, who prided himself on his composure, felt the icy grip of fear. "This... this is impossible," he murmured, his Byakugan unable to fathom the sheer depth of Leo's power.

"My bugs—they're dying!" muttered Yūnashi Aburame, aghast as his insects perished en masse, unable to withstand the oppressive aura.

The three Cloud ninjas fared far worse.

"What is that thing?" one whispered, his voice cracking with panic.

"I... I can't move!"

The leader, who had once mocked Leo, could only let out a strangled gasp. The spectral Shura loomed over them, a harbinger of their doom.

"Go ahead and regret touching my last bottle of wine," Leo growled, his voice devoid of mercy.

Raising Shusui, Leo channeled all his fury and energy into a single devastating move.

"One-Sword Style: Asura!"

The purple-black arcs surged forward, forming a massive, roaring slash tens of meters high. The strike tore through the air like a thunderclap, its sheer brilliance eclipsing the heavens.

"BOOM!"

The earth split apart under the devastating force, sending shockwaves rippling through the forest. The skies, once heavy with dark clouds, cleared in an instant, as though the heavens themselves bowed to the might of the attack.

When the dust settled, nothing but silence remained—a testament to the absolute dominance of Leo's wrath.

The three Cloud ninjas from the Kumogakure watched in horror as the violent slash barreled toward them, their pupils shrinking in sheer terror. They could barely comprehend the monstrous force hurtling in their direction.

"Little, little red flower..."

The words echoed in their minds, a sudden and terrifying realization dawning upon them. The small red flower, once mocked and dismissed as a mere trinket by the Konoha ninjas, was no mere decoration—it was, in fact, a life-saving talisman.

At this very moment, they regretted their decision not to take those red flowers and place them on their own foreheads, now that the consequences of their arrogance became painfully clear.

As the terrifying slash neared, the three ninjas gasped, their breath catching in their chests.

"Poof!"

In an instant, the three Cloud ninjas were obliterated. There was no time for them to react; their bodies disintegrated under the overwhelming force of the strike, their blood and flesh shattered as the slash continued its relentless path.

"Boom!"

The towering slash, several meters high, crashed through the air without hesitation, cutting through the three ninjas like they were nothing but fragile insects. The purple-black energy of the strike surged forward with the fury of an enraged behemoth, tearing through everything in its path.

"Bah—bah—"

Massive trees that once stood tall in front of the slash were effortlessly uprooted and shattered, their trunks snapping like twigs. The air was filled with the sound of splintering wood, as branches and leaves were reduced to dust under the sheer force of the sword's momentum.

The ground buckled and cracked under the weight of the attack. Chunks of earth were sent flying into the air, the very foundation of the land quaking as the violent energy tore through it.

A massive rock, tens of meters high, was split into multiple pieces, floating aimlessly in the wake of the attack.

"Boom!"

The earth groaned and trembled as if in protest of the devastation. For what felt like an eternity, the destructive slash continued, carving through the landscape with ruthless efficiency. The purple-black energy lingered, slowly dissipating as it drained away.

When the dust finally settled, what remained was a massive scar across the earth—a chasm several kilometers long, tens of meters deep, and several meters wide. It looked as though a colossal being had used an impossibly sharp sword to split the world itself in half.

The three Konoha ninjas, who had witnessed the destruction, struggled to steady themselves, their hands clutching at the ground as they tried to remain standing. Their eyes were wide with disbelief, their faces pale as they stared at the vast abyss before them.

"Wh-What is this...?" Inuzuka Aki muttered, his voice trembling as he looked at the chasm, which seemed to stretch infinitely into the horizon. His heart raced in his chest, his entire body shaking with fear.

The others were equally unnerved. Their faces were pale, their minds still reeling from the overwhelming power they had just witnessed.

Then, in the midst of the silence, a voice rang out.

"Asshole things, dare to touch my last bottle of wine!"

The figure responsible for the destruction, Leo, casually slung his sword, Shusui, over his shoulder, his expression cold but oddly calm. He took a swig from a wine bottle, the act seemingly trivial despite the devastation he had just unleashed.

The anger that had surged within him began to subside as the cool liquid soothed his nerves. The scarlet light in his eyes dimmed slightly, replaced by a more composed, albeit still intense, focus.

"Ding! Host kills three Cloud ninjas, Swordsmanship clComprehension +30."

"Ding! The Host is in the violent state of wine, get a crit reward! Swordsmanship Comprehension +300!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for reaching a critical point in his swordsmanship comprehension, and he is promoted to the rank of Great swordsman!"

The continuous system notifications filled Leo with a sense of satisfaction. The violent state brought unexpected rewards, and the boost to his swordsmanship was significant.

But just as his mood was lightening, Leo looked down at the empty wine bottle in his hand and let out a disappointed sigh.

"This... this is the last bottle of wine?"

His expression became melancholic as he stared at the bottle. The realization hit him hard. This meant he had no more alcohol to drink for the remainder of the exam. Worse yet, some of his precious liquor had been destroyed in the chaos caused by the three Cloud ninjas.

A sudden thought crossed his mind, and his eyes gleamed with renewed fury.

"I don't have any alcohol left to drink... they spilled my wine... Those bastards from the other village took the exam and spilled my wine..."

Leo's anger flared once more, and his focus shifted from the destruction to the source of his irritation—those who had caused his final bottle of alcohol to be ruined. The flames of his rage reignited, and the wine-fueled state surged once more.

"Ding! While the host mood continues to be angry, the violent state of wine continues!"

The system's prompt only fueled Leo's anger further.

"Assholes in the other village, I'm going to cut you all down!" Leo roared, his voice filled with fury. The sheer force of his words made the three Konoha ninjas shudder in fear.

In that instant, Leo's gaze shifted to them, his eyes narrowing dangerously. The three of them froze in place, their breath hitching as they realized they had caught Leo's attention.

Leo's eyes locked onto Hyuga Haruki , and a dangerous gleam flickered in his gaze. The fear in Hyuga heart intensified as he realized that he had just been caught in Leo's line of sight.

"Well, you have a flower, I will not cut you"

Leo muttered softly, his tone calm but carrying an unmistakable edge.

"This one also has a small red flower ."

The words were a casual observation, but the underlying threat was clear. Inuzuka Aki had lost his red flower, and Leo could sense it immediately.

Inuzuka Aki's heart skipped a beat as Leo's eyes focused on him with increasing intensity.

"No little red flowers?" Leo continued muttering, his voice growing colder.

"Please, please! I have it! I have it!" Inuzuka Aki quickly cried out, his voice filled with panic. He began frantically searching for the small red flower that had fallen from his forehead during the chaos.

But in the wake of the violent destruction, the flower had vanished, and Inuzuka Aki was left frantic, his hands shaking as he searched the ground in desperation.

"Idiot, put this on!" Haruki Hyuga, who had been watching the scene unfold with a growing sense of dread, quickly reached into his pocket and pulled out a spare red flower. He thrust it into Inuzuka Aki's hands.

Inuzuka Aki's eyes welled with relief, and without hesitation, he slapped the red flower onto his forehead. The force was so great that a red mark appeared, but at least he had done what was needed to survive.

"Snapped!" The sound of the flower being pressed onto his skin echoed through the tense silence.

But despite the relief, Inuzuka Aki could still feel Leo's gaze on him. He wasn't sure whether Leo had truly seen his flower or not, and the lingering tension was unbearable.

With trembling hands, Inuzuka Aki picked up another red flower, pressing it onto his face with greater force. Another slap echoed through the air as he desperately tried to appease Leo's growing anger.

"Flap! Pop! Pop!"

The red flowers slapped onto his face in rapid succession, leaving several red marks that looked as though he had been slapped repeatedly.

"I... I really have a little red flower," Inuzuka Aki stammered, his voice cracking with fear.

Leo's expression softened slightly, his cold gaze finally relenting as he spoke.

"Next time, don't lose it."

His words came as a direct command, and Inuzuka Aki, utterly defeated, collapsed to the ground, his body sagging in relief.

"Yes, I'm saved…" Inuzuka Aki muttered, his voice shaky but filled with gratitude.

After a few moments of breathing deeply, Inuzuka Aki slapped his own face, trying to shake off the lingering tension.

"Absolutely can't lose it again..." he whispered to himself, vowing never to make the same mistake twice.
