Start with Naruto Awakening - Awesome!

　Conqueror's Haki is something that can only be born from those who possess the qualities of a king!

　Since you've come into this world, why not live a life of arrogance and become a true king!

　This was Ye Chen's deepest ambition!

　After Hiruzen Sarutobi's speech, the students participating in the competition were taken to four venues to begin their duels, and round after round, they were eliminated one after another.

　Ye Chen's first opponent was not a member of a major Konoha clan, but an ordinary ninja of average strength.

　He ended the fight with just one punch!

　After all, he had already killed an elite Chunin. What trouble could he possibly cause with a ninja student who hadn't even graduated yet?

　Battle after battle, instant kill after instant kill, with almost no second moves needed, clean and decisive!

　Some students gave up directly when facing Ye Chen. This is simply too abnormal. His physical skills and strength are terrifying!

　Under Ye Chen's powerful punches, these ninja students had absolutely no intention of resisting!

　Although he didn't unleash his Conqueror's Haki to exert mental pressure, Ye Chen had already begun to cultivate an invincible aura without even realizing it!

　The students watching the match were facing Ye Chen.

　There was envy, jealousy, and many hostility towards Ye Chen, who envied his strength and terrifying monstrous bloodline.

　Even the Chunin examiners in the examination hall expressed their admiration and appreciation for the strength and composure that Ye Chen displayed!

　Off the field, Kushina's beautiful eyes sparkled as she watched this scene with immense excitement and joy.

　As long as Ye Chen defeats those opponents, she is genuinely happy, excitedly waving her fists and cheering him on!

　"Match Six, Ye Chen wins!"

　As the examiner announced the results, the battle in the Nightfall arena had already ended ahead of schedule.

　Become the uncrowned king of the first venue!

　The next step is to wait for the battles in the other four arenas to end, select the four strongest fighters, and then have them fight in the final sixth arena, under the watchful eyes of the Hokage and some Jonin.

　In the very center of the stands!

　Hiruzen Sarutobi stood there overlooking the entire scene, with three ninjas beside him: Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya.

　"Oh, some ninjas have already finished their battles early. Let me see who they are?" Tsunade leaned against the railing of the stands and looked down.

　"Hahaha, need I say more? It's definitely Minato, he's a student I, Jiraiya, value highly!" Jiraiya laughed loudly, appearing incredibly cheerful.

　"Not necessarily!" Orochimaru's pale face revealed a sinister smile.

　"Hey, that kid Ye Chen, he really is as expected!"

　Tsunade sensed Ye Chen walking out of the arena and couldn't help but sneer, "That brat is really arrogant!"

　"What, not Minato?"

　(2/3)

　Come and take a look.

　Jiraiya hurriedly approached the railing and looked down, but he almost fell off the railing and onto the stands because he used too much force, nearly making a fool of himself.

　"What an idiot!" Tsunade cursed angrily.

　"Ye Chen, what an interesting child!"

　Orochimaru subtly licked his lips with his tongue, a smile on his face.

　It's like a dangerous venomous snake extending its serpentine branch, sending chills down your spine.

　Looking at her two inhuman teammates, Tsunade got goosebumps all over and felt a chill run down her spine.

　(3/3)

Chapter 19 The Confused Hyuga Kagami (Seeking flowers and favorites)

　After a series of competitions, the winners of the four venues of the Ninja Tournament have been determined!

　They are Minato Namikaze, Kagami Hyuga, Ooharu Yuhi, and Yoru Tatsumi!

　Apart from Ye Chen, these three are basically scions of major Konoha clans, and all possess exceptional talent!

　Minato Namikaze is a bit special, but he was a student chosen by the Sannin, so his background is no less than theirs.

　Although Jiraiya had not yet achieved the title of one of the Legendary Sannin at this time, the Third Hokage stood behind him.

　So from a certain perspective, Minato Namikaze is also somewhat related to the Third Hokage!

　Ye Chen, a child from another village, had no relatives or connections, no background, and could only rely on himself.

　"Let's draw lots now!" the examiner said calmly, looking at the four people.

　Ye Chen and the other three began drawing lots, opening their lots in order. He looked at his opponent, Hyuga Kagami, a genius from the Hyuga clan.

　So the final two matches have been decided: Minato Namikaze vs. Hiroharu Yuhi, and Yoruichi vs. Kagami Hyuga!

　"First match, Yoruichi vs. Hyuga Kagami, please form the opposing hand seals!" the Chunin examiner announced.

　The opposing hand seal is often used in duels between ninjas, much like the bow and salute performed by Chinese martial arts masters before a battle, signifying respect as an opponent!

　Minato Namikaze and Hiroharu Yuhi walked to the sidelines to watch the match.

　Yoru and Hinata Kagami formed opposing hand seals and assumed fighting stances!

　The stands were filled with excitement. The ultimate showdown of the Ninja Academy Tournament was about to begin. Who wouldn't be excited?

　"Go for it, Yoru!" Kushina shouted loudly, completely ignoring the stares of those around her.

　He also called on a few of his newly recruited underlings to cheer him on!

　At the very center, on a suspended platform, were the Third Hokage and Tsunade.

　"It's not bad that you've made it this far. Facing the Hyuga clan's little genius, Yoruichi's chances of winning are slim," Jiraiya said sourly, glancing at him.

　He was still upset that his student, Minato Namikaze, had been overshadowed!

　"Heh!" Tsunade sneered. If Jiraiya knew that Yoru had killed an elite Chunin on his own, he wouldn't have thought that way.

　"Jiraiya, don't underestimate this kid. He might give us an unexpected surprise," Orochimaru said slowly, a signature sinister smile appearing on his face.

　The Third Hokage didn't say anything. He knew about Ye Chen's situation and was also very troubled by it. Ye Chen seemed to be a problem student as well.

　A fierce battle is about to erupt on the field!

　Hyuga Kagami is a member of the Hyuga clan's branch family. He possesses the Byakugan bloodline and his talent far surpasses that of his peers.

　Previously, he was a genius in the same category as Minato Namikaze and Tsukuyomi Uchiha.

　"Your strength is not weak, exceeding my expectations. But I am not an idiot like Uchiha Yue. In front of my eyes, your proud taijutsu is useless!"

　Hyuga Kagami said proudly, activating his Byakugan. Centered on his eyes, the veins hidden beneath the skin bulged out.

　The power of the Byakugan spread outwards, and the invisible fluctuations affected the real world.

　In Hyuga Kagami's eyes, Ye Chen was no longer Ye Chen. His body's meridians were completely transparent, and even the chakra circulation route and some important acupoints on his body could be seen clearly.

　By observing the flow of chakra through the meridians, Hyuga Kagami could completely see through Yotsuki's movements.

　(1/3)

　Therefore, the Byakugan, like the Sharingan, is the nemesis of all taijutsu ninjas!

　Furthermore, the Hyuga clan does not practice ninjutsu, but instead focuses on Hyuga Gentle Fist, which in some ways is even more powerful than the Sharingan against taijutsu ninjas.

　"Is that so?" Ye Chen was unconvinced. How could he not know how powerful the White Eye was? But so what?

　Everyone was waiting for this fierce battle. The Hyuga was a prestigious family in Konoha, and everyone was wondering what kind of moves Ye Chen would use to deal with it.

　What surprised everyone was that Ye Chen's fighting style was extremely simple.

　There are absolutely no unnecessary moves or complicated processes.

　I simply step forward and unleash a punch! No matter what prestigious family you're from, or what your Gentle Fist or taijutsu is, I can explode them all with a single punch.

　Armament Haki: Harden!

　A powerful punch was thrown out, causing the air to tremble and the faint sound of thunder could be heard.

　Ye Chen's fist turned black as iron and came crashing down with tremendous force.

　"Bagua Sixty-Four Palms!"

　Hinata Mirror struck a pose as if reaching for the moon, stepping forward with his right foot in a bow shape!

　Immediately, a huge Bagua and Four Symbols pattern appeared on the ground centered on it!

　This is a domain unique to Gentle Fist. Generally, once a Hyuga ninja enters this domain, their strength increases exponentially!

　Hyuga Kagami struck out with a palm, the force of which was deafening, in response to Ye Chen's punch!

　Moreover, through his ability to see through the white eye, he was able to see the weakest point on Ye Chen's arm!

　As the two drew near, Hyuga Kagami dodged like a serpent and transformed his palm into a finger, aiming a finger at a vulnerable pressure point on Ye Chen's arm!

　Having fought so many duels, how could he not see that Ye Chen possessed superhuman strength? How could he possibly clash with him head-on!

　The reason for creating that illusion of a direct, head-on attack was to use the Byakugan to intercept Ye Chen's pressure points, thus blocking the flow of chakra and making it easy to win the match.

　"We succeeded!" A look of joy appeared on Hinata Kagami's face.
