Naruto entry.

"Uchiha... huh? Go ahead, be careful."

Kurenai Yuhi ultimately didn't say much, offering only a brief response.

The fact that the Third Hokage grouped Uchiha Kiyoshi and Sarutobi Asuma together was actually sending a positive signal.

"it is good."

Seeing that her father did not object, Xi Ri Hong was overjoyed. She hurriedly put the handkerchief away, put on her shoes, and went out.

She's going to see Kiyoshi today.

Sarutobi Asuma suddenly said a while ago that he wanted to spar with Kiyoshi, so she went to check it out.

It's not that I'm afraid Kiyoshi will be defeated.

What she feared was that Sarutobi Asuma would lose face if he were defeated.

After all, Sarutobi Asuma's temper isn't exactly good these days, so to avoid any conflict, Kurenai Yuhi decided to smooth things over.

"Hey, Hong, you're out too?"

Sarutobi Asuma's expression brightened when he saw Kurenai Yuhi walking out of her house; he was immediately pleasantly surprised.

He was lingering at the door, wondering what excuse he should use to call Shinku-senpai if he ran into him, when he realized that Shinku had just come out.

Could this be the legendary telepathy?

"What a coincidence, Asuma."

Kurenai Yuhi spoke up, "Didn't you say you were going to spar with Kiyoshi today? I came out to take a look."

"Of course, this is to ensure our team is in top condition before future missions, isn't it?"

Sarutobi Asuma found a clever excuse.

His real purpose was to compete with Kiyoshi in "chakra flow".

He didn't see a single classmate participate in this skill!

Aside from White Fang, who is famous for his swordsmanship, perhaps his son Kakashi could also do it.

It is said that White Fang's short sword emits white chakra light during battle, which may be a kind of lightning release's "chakra flow".

Sarutobi Asuma subconsciously touched the fist-shaped chakra blade in his pocket.

The handle has four small holes to accommodate four fingers excluding the thumb. The handle and blade are integrated and the outside is sharpened and saw-shaped.

This weight gave Sarutobi Asuma a lot of confidence.

He simply didn't believe that Kiyoshi had the money to buy the same weapons as him!

The two walked towards the Kiyoshi family's house.

"Let's go quickly."

Kurenai tucked her slightly reddened little hands into her pockets.

"Oh... okay!"

Sarutobi Asuma was overjoyed; his heart raced, and he felt as if he were about to float away.

Today, during his sparring session with Kiyoshi, Kurenai was wearing such beautiful clothes, which filled him with confidence and made him feel that his efforts had finally paid off.

…………

Kiyoshi's family.

"It's 99%."

Kiyoshi closed the entry panel.

As he predicted, a new white entry appeared while he was practicing the "Shurikenjutsu" technique.

I should be able to master this term tonight.

At that time, Qing Si will be able to attack or defend as needed.

Even when chakra is insufficient to unleash ninjutsu, one can still use shuriken and kunai to fight off enemies and gain a chance to catch one's breath.

This is a great way to save your life.

He currently only has one ranged ninjutsu, "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique," which Mikoto took him to receive after graduating as a ninja.

Although it is ranked as high as C, it is unfortunately a mid-range offensive ninjutsu, within a range of five to ten meters.

Beyond a certain distance, its power will diminish or even dissipate.

The only way to improve this is to increase the "Ninjutsu" stat, which means increasing your proficiency and mastery of this ninjutsu.

Alternatively, one could infuse more chakra to enhance the power of the ninjutsu.

Both of these require a significant investment of time and resources, and are not suitable for the current Qing company.

On the contrary, given his superior physical skills and high talent, throwing shuriken would be more cost-effective for him at this stage.

Because the speed and distance of a shuriken are determined by strength.

"Kiyoshi, we've come to find you."

A sound came from outside the door.

Although the Kiyoshi family's house was not a single-story building, it also had a courtyard.

It was just very small, so whenever someone called for Seiji or knocked on the door, he could always hear it immediately.

"They're here."

Kiyoshi went to open the gate.

"Kiyoshi, you'd better be careful today."

Kurenai said with concern.

Although she was a ninja, she still disliked fighting as a girl.

"Hong, don't worry, I'll go easy on you."

Sarutobi Asuma took out his chakra sword, put it on in front of Kiyoshi as if showing off, and waved it a few times in the air.

Almost two months have passed since I last made up my mind to compete with Kiyoshi in "Chakra Flow".

Apart from the two D-level missions he had undertaken during this period, he had been diligently cultivating at home, all for the sake of making a stunning debut in front of Hong today!

Seeing his diligent practice and recognizing that a prodigal son's return is invaluable, his elder brother even took time out of his tedious work in the secret service to teach him.

This gave Sarutobi Asuma immense confidence.

Not to mention instantly killing Kiyoshi.

It only takes a few moves, it's that simple.

This is his area of ​​expertise.

Even among the so-called elite ninjas of the Uchiha clan, Sarutobi Asuma had rarely seen them use it.

"Do you feel like you're capable again?"

Kiyoshi secretly said.

A smile appeared on his face.

Coincidentally, could Sarutobi Asuma, who has just grown up, become a viral sensation?

Kiyoshi's house is too small; he can't fully utilize his abilities.

The three arrived at one of the more than fifty training grounds, where there were relatively few ninjas.

Bang.

White smoke billowed.

Kiyoshi summoned a ninja sword.

The Chunin Exams are in a few months, which will be a good opportunity to test Sarutobi Asuma's abilities.

Teamwork is also an indispensable part of the Chunin Exams.

The entire process is divided into three steps.

The first part was a written test.

The second challenge is to enter the training ground and undergo trials to test the team's teamwork capabilities.

The third match is a duel between individual ninjas, and it's the only process that can be exposed to the outside world.

In the third event, not only villagers will come to visit, but also feudal lords from various countries, including some Kage from ninja villages and ninjas of high status.

This is actually a process of flexing muscles and showcasing the village's new vitality.

hum!

After Kiyoshi took out his ninja sword and drew it, a layer of light blue wind-style chakra appeared on the chakra sword in Sarutobi Asuma's hand.

"Kiyoshi, if the knife breaks, I will compensate you."

Sarutobi Asuma, being wealthy and powerful, said this.

He had already anticipated the shocked expression on Kiyoshi's face after he had cut the sword in half.

Kurenai Yuhi looked worried in the distance.

This was the first time she had ever seen Sarutobi Asuma possess such a technique; she had never seen it before, back when she was at the Ninja Academy.

Her initial belief that Kiyoshi would win turned into worry.

This is clearly a high-level technique for utilizing and controlling the nature of chakra.

To be fair, Asuma was, after all, the son of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was known as the "Professor of Ninja" and was the strongest Hokage, proficient in all five major ninjutsu!

"The speed is much faster than before."

A crimson glint appeared in Kiyoshi's dark eyes.

His ninja sword, which had been hanging low, instantly rose to parry Sarutobi Asuma's chakra blade.

Not only that, but a pale red flame also spread upwards from the hilt of the sword!
