The reason Ning Feng activated Susanoo was simple—at this very moment, several enormous serpents, each over a hundred meters long, were rapidly approaching.
Two of those gigantic snakes even slammed their massive tails down, striking straight toward all the staff members of the research institute.
However, before their colossal tails could land, Ning Feng's golden Susanoo had already forcefully blocked the ferocious attack from the two massive tails.
It was clear that the distant giant snakes hadn't expected anyone to be able to withstand their assault. A trace of surprise flickered in their snake-like pupils.
"Starry Sky Blood Pythons! And four of them at once!"
"How did these Starry Sky Blood Pythons appear!? Why are they showing up near the research institute!?"
"Thank goodness we have Ning Feng—otherwise our institute would've been destroyed!"
Many of the researchers were pale with lingering fear.
Professors Li and Liu were no better; both felt their hearts pounding.
They had already witnessed how terrifying the Starry Sky Blood Python was—far beyond what the researchers here could handle. Let alone four appearing at the same time.
It seemed these Starry Sky Blood Pythons had sensed an overwhelming power and rushed over, attempting to strangle one of humanity's strongest figures here.
But just as the two professors were thinking this, Zhu Qin suddenly cried out in shock:
"T–This… what kind of ninjutsu is this!? Is this the legendary divine power possessed by the Uchiha clan!?"
The two professors hurriedly followed Zhu Qin's gaze.
And when they did, they were all startled.
"Orochimaru once mentioned that within the Uchiha clan, there exists an extremely powerful force called Susanoo—a power known as the power of the gods, incomparably terrifying…"
While the professors and researchers were still immersed in shock, Ning Feng—who had activated Susanoo—felt a flash of surprise himself.
It wasn't because of the appearance of the Starry Sky Blood Pythons, but because he discovered that under the influence of the Hashirama cells, his Susanoo had directly advanced to the third form, only one step away from its final form.
At this moment, although his Susanoo still only had an upper body, it now wielded two steel-blade-like weapons and was clad in heavy samurai armor.
And most importantly, Ning Feng's Susanoo was golden—making it even more terrifying. Calling it monstrous was no exaggeration.
"So this is the power of Susanoo after obtaining Hashirama cells?"
For a moment, Ning Feng was immersed in the overwhelming might of Susanoo.
He could clearly feel that with the aid of Hashirama cells, his strength hadn't just increased by a single tier—it had soared dramatically.
At the same time, however, he also realized that while the third stage of Susanoo was insanely powerful, its consumption of chakra and ocular power was several orders of magnitude greater.
No wonder, in the original story, Sasuke always finished battles as quickly as possible after activating Susanoo—the consumption really was terrifying.
With that thought, Ning Feng didn't hesitate any longer and charged straight toward the Starry Sky Blood Pythons.
Up to this point, the giant serpents still hadn't fully recovered from their initial shock. Then, to their horror, they saw a massive golden warrior rushing toward them at incredible speed.
Instinctively, they swept their enormous tails sideways, trying to block the golden warrior's assault.
But with a light swing of the long blade in the golden warrior's hand, their massive tails were instantly severed into several pieces, exploding into clouds of blood mist.
Everything happened too fast—so fast that the Starry Sky Blood Pythons didn't even have time to feel pain.
In the next instant, with another slash, four Starry Sky Blood Pythons—each over a hundred meters long—were reduced to only a pitiful remainder.
And the remaining ones were immediately split in half by the dazzling golden Susanoo, dying without any chance of survival.
After finishing everything, Ning Feng quickly dismissed Susanoo.
Just that brief moment had already consumed nearly one-third of his chakra.
"S–So strong…"
The battle began swiftly and ended just as swiftly. By the time the Starry Sky Blood Pythons had completely lost all signs of life, Professor Liu and the others still hadn't fully reacted.
Many of the researchers took a long while before finally coming back to their senses.
With a flash of movement, Ning Feng appeared at the spot where the Starry Sky Blood Pythons had fallen, collected the demon cores they dropped, and swallowed them.
As three demon cores entered his body one after another, Ning Feng could clearly feel a warm surge rising from his abdomen, spreading throughout his body—like being bathed in sunlight.
The sensation was indescribably pleasant.
"So this is the terrifying power of a top-tier ninja…" Professor Liu hurried over. Seeing that Ning Feng was completely unharmed, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Professor Liu, Professor Li, and the others were inwardly shaken by the sheer impact of what they had witnessed.
After all, up to now, Ning Feng had only logged into the game three times in total.
Just three times, yet he had reached such a level—this could no longer be described as mere genius.
"Ning Feng, are you alright?" Zhu Qin asked anxiously. To her, a boy like Ning Feng possessed overwhelming charm.
"I'm fine. Mere Starry Sky Blood Pythons can't hurt me," Ning Feng shrugged.
That casual remark alone—if heard by others—would probably make them die of rage on the spot.
After all, Starry Sky Blood Pythons were A+–rank super beasts, not something anyone could casually kill.
After that, Professors Liu and Li, along with the rest, conducted another round of comprehensive examinations on Ning Feng following the Hashirama cell transplantation.
They wanted to ensure absolutely no complications—because someone like Ning Feng suffering an accident would be an enormous loss to the nation.
Only after confirming that Ning Feng was completely fine did the entire research institute finally relax, the tension in their throats slowly easing.
Before they knew it, a new day had arrived.
As the login time approached, Professor Liu, Professor Li, Zhu Qin, and all the researchers were already waiting early on the institute's grounds, ready to log into the Naruto world together with Ning Feng.
Before logging in, the professors discussed and agreed on a plan with Ning Feng.
The researchers would focus on studying ninja techniques and technology from the Naruto world, while Ning Feng would devote himself entirely to improving his own strength.
Developing techniques, cultivation, and research—all of that would be handled by Professor Liu and the others.
In short, the entire research institute was now working almost exclusively for Ning Feng alone.
