Starting with Naruto, I'll become stronger through my own efforts.

Chapter 183 The Great Demon King Every Day

Sasuke's efforts were richly rewarded.

Before graduation, he had mastered the Fire Release Kekkei Genkai. After hearing that he and Naruto Uzumaki had been assigned to Team 7, he confidently challenged Naruto Uzumaki again.

He wants to compete for the position of captain of the seventh squad.

Instructing a Jonin is only a temporary appointment as captain. Jonin always have their own affairs and more important responsibilities, and cannot take care of children year after year.

Therefore, each Jonin instructor will select one person from the Genin squad and consciously train him to take on the role of captain, serving as the leader after his departure.

When selecting team leaders, Jonin instructors prioritize choosing the strongest Genin.

That's why Sasuke Uchiha was holding back his ultimate move, giving Naruto Uzumaki a surprise when they were assigned to different classes after graduation.

But as soon as the battle began, Sasuke, who was going all out, realized something was wrong; he was being suppressed by Naruto.

Naruto's attack speed was too fast; he could even outrun Sasuke's thrown shuriken. At this terrifying speed, Sasuke had no chance to fight back.

Until he was finally and completely defeated, Sasuke never managed to touch Naruto.

What frustrated Sasuke Uchiha even more was that when he no longer desired victory and only wanted to hit Naruto once, he used the [Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique].

The countless fiery feathers created by the Fire Release ninjutsu were actually absorbed by Naruto Uzumaki using [Scorching Release: Red Wind Scroll] and sprayed into the sky.

Before launching the challenge, Sasuke anticipated that Naruto had already mastered the bloodline limit.

After all, she learned how to cultivate bloodline limits from the Fifth Hokage through the relationship with the clan leader, Uchiha Izumi.

Naruto Uzumaki is Sasuke's apprentice, so naturally he also trains his own bloodline limit.

Based on Naruto's chakra attributes, Sasuke Uchiha even guessed that Naruto might have mastered the Swift Release Kekkei Genkai.

Among Naruto Uzumaki's chakra attributes, Wind Release is the strongest, followed by Lightning Release. In addition, he inherited his father Minato Namikaze's super speed talent, so it's not surprising that he fused with the Swift Release bloodline limit.

Therefore, Sasuke made many preparations in advance to deal with the attacks of the speedy ninja.

However, he did not expect that Naruto Uzumaki's speed would be so fast that even his Sharingan could not see him clearly, rendering all his previous preparations meaningless.

But what he didn't expect was that Naruto Uzumaki had also mastered the Scorching Release Kekkei Genkai, quietly becoming a ninja with two Kekkei Genkai.

Sasuke Uchiha couldn't understand how Naruto Uzumaki could fuse Fire Release and Wind Release into a Scorching Release Kekkei Genkai when Naruto hadn't even developed Fire Release chakra.

To Sasuke's question, Naruto replied with a smile, "I don't have Fire Release chakra, but Kurama does."

Uchiha Sasuke: "Huh?"

Naruto Uzumaki explained, "My Wind Release chakra underwent a qualitative change, Kurama's Fire Release chakra underwent a qualitative change, and when they were combined, they became Scorch Release chakra."

"By working together, we guided the Blazing Release chakra to circulate and flow within our bodies, constantly reflecting our bloodlines, and naturally, we succeeded."

"Haha, not only have I successfully mastered the Scorching Release technique of the Wind Direction, but Kurama has also mastered the Scorching Release technique of the Fire Direction. A great success!"

Sasuke Uchiha stared in disbelief, muttering to himself, "So tailed beasts can fuse to create new bloodline limits?"

"Ha, ha, ha, this isn't a great success, this is outrageous!"

"What do you mean 'successful without any effort'? — Where's the 'natural' part? It's clearly monstrous! Humans are monstrous, Nine-Tails is monstrous, you're all monstrous!"

Kurama felt extremely pleased with himself upon hearing Sasuke Uchiha's words.

But it immediately thought of Madara Uchiha from the surname Uchiha, the one-eyed Uchiha with a mask, the slap from Hashirama Senju, the control from Mito Uzumaki, the binding from Kushina, and the devilish smile from the Fifth Hokage, Sasuke Natsumi.

Nine-Tailed Monkey shuddered and muttered, "You still call me a pervert? You humans are clearly the most terrifying monsters. Hairless monkeys are indeed the most terrifying."

Hearing Sasuke's lament, Naruto patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Junior Brother Sha, your talent is no less than mine. As long as you work twice as hard, you will become very strong too."

Sasuke Uchiha retorted, "Don't call me Junior Brother Sha!"

Naruto asked in surprise, "I've heard Brother Xia Zuo call you that often, I thought you liked it—"

Sasuke Uchiha said weakly, exasperated, "Naruto, you've heard the story of retrieving the treasure. How could you possibly think I enjoy being called a useless coward?"

"And, Naruto, even when you were comforting me, you wouldn't say that I'd catch up to you—"

Sasuke was on the verge of tears, and Naruto quickly comforted him, taking a great deal of effort to calm him down.

In short, after being beaten up, Uchiha Sasuke temporarily submitted.

He honestly acknowledged Naruto's position as team leader and didn't cause any trouble when Team 0 was formed.

The next day, the rain stopped and the sky cleared, and Uchiha Sasuke felt he could do it again.

So when Kakashi Hatake used the bell to test him, Sasuke unleashed his full power, using the secret technique [Flame Release: Emperor of Flames Descending], almost destroying the entire training ground and sending himself to the hospital.

This incident left a deep impression on Baiyun Zaojian, giving him great confidence in the potential of the new generation in Konoha Village.

The Fifth Hokage, Natsume, also had absolute confidence, but his confidence was not that of Sasuke Uchiha, nor even Naruto Uzumaki.

Because Darui and Deidara both possess strength approaching Kage level, and are also a few years older than Naruto Uzumaki, their overall levels are on the same level.

If the three of them were to fight, their chances of winning would be about 50/50.

However, among the Konoha 12, there was another genin whose strength far surpassed the other three, and that was Tenten.

Two years after the Fifth Hokage took office, an interesting phenomenon occurred in Konoha Village.

Aside from middle-aged and elderly ninjas over 40 years old, the strength of ninjas in Konoha Village is actually directly proportional to the closeness of their relationship with the Hokage.

In other words, the closer a ninja is to the Hokage, the stronger they are.

Naruto Uzumaki was Sasuke Uchiha's disciple, so he was stronger than Sasuke Uchiha, who was separated from him by the Uchiha Spring.

Among the 12 Konoha 12, Tenten and Sasuke from Team 3 have a slightly closer relationship than Naruto.

You should know that Tenten calls Uchiha Izumi "older sister" without any prefix.

Of course, Tian Tian's incredible strength is also due to her amazing talent.

In the original history, Tenten made a stunning appearance with a Chinese style, but her performance in battle was mediocre. Even her ultimate move, "Double Dragon Ascension," was nothing more than a chaotic and disorderly scattering of hidden weapons.

It can be said that it has neither beauty nor power, only pure naivety and wealth.

Thus, after encountering Temari, the princess of Sunagakure, he suffered a crushing defeat under the influence of Wind Release ninjutsu, and from then on, he never recovered and withdrew from the front lines of battle.

This isn't because he's incompetent; the blame should lie with the Third Hokage.

This top-tier "money power" lucky girl was assigned the role of mentor to the workaholic "Kai Huang".

Might Guy was a man of unwavering will and immense strength. He nearly killed Madara Uchiha with a single kick. He was one of the most remarkable Konoha ninjas, having killed a god with the body of a mortal.

But this guy is a total poor bastard and unlucky guy. His natural attributes are completely opposite to Tian Tian's. Every bit of effort he puts in is an obstacle blocking Tian Tian's future.

Under the guidance of the goofy Might Guy, this Chinese-style girl developed a muscular physique but lacked any advanced ninjutsu or throwing techniques, rendering her useless in actual combat.

But ever since Xia Zuo took a liking to her, her fate has changed dramatically.

In the beginning, Tenten only received proper ninja training under the guidance of Natsusa.

Tenten also spent her money where it was needed, such as buying the best medicinal herbs, the most suitable ninjutsu scrolls, and the finest ninja tools. Once Tenten laid a solid foundation, her chakra increased by more than double, and with her proficiency in ninjutsu, taijutsu, and throwing techniques, her strength naturally improved.

But back then, Tenten could only catch up with Hyuga Neji and barely compete with him.

After Xia Zuo obtained the "True Explanation of the Five Elements Battle", Tian Tian's strength underwent its first qualitative change.

By practicing the secret method of "Five Elements Seed Life Foundation", Tian Tian was able to slightly control her "strong luck". She wouldn't seem so lucky normally, but during cultivation and battle, she would be as if she had divine assistance and her wishes would come true.

No matter how difficult the secret technique is to cultivate, one can achieve success in one fell swoop after accumulating luck for several days.

For example, with the Boil Release Kekkei Genkai, Tenten completed the chakra transformation and fusion of Kekkei Genkai in one go after accumulating three days of luck.

From the initial chakra transformation to the final successful fusion, it only took ten minutes.

At that moment, Uchiha Izumi and Natsusa, who were responsible for protecting her, were both stunned. The two powerful ninjas couldn't help but envy a student from a ninja academy.

Uchiha Izumi later secretly admitted to Xia Zuo that she was not only envious at the time, but also felt a little jealous and wished she could take her place.

Tenten was able to use her luck at crucial moments, which allowed her strength to improve rapidly, quickly catching up with and surpassing Hyuga Neji.

From then on, the two began a fierce competition, vying for supremacy within the ninja academy, often engaging in intense sparring matches that escalated into real fights, sometimes resulting in injuries.

Some of the Hyuga clan blood in Xia Zuo's possession was obtained through Tenten during this period.

Tenten's strength underwent a second qualitative change after Xia Zuo became the Fifth Hokage and went to Amegakure to fight Pain.

During that battle, the Fifth Hokage witnessed the Asura Path firsthand. Although he was dismissive of its method of manifesting high-tech weapons with chakra, he easily figured out the secrets of such weapons.

Based on the principles of Pain's Shura Path's materialized weapons, Xia Zuo developed a complete set of secret techniques and made significant adjustments to address the issue of insufficient chakra, then handed them all over to Tenten.

From then on, the ninja tools she played with every day were no longer kunai, shuriken, scythes, and chains. She also threw away all the strange things she kept in her sealed scrolls, such as explosives, flying bombs, and exploding spiders.

Every day, they don't even need the reel anymore.

When the Fifth Hokage taught Tenten a secret technique, he presented her with a grand worldview of cultivation in order to explain it thoroughly, which captivated her and made her lose interest in ninja tools.

In particular, the sword immortal described by Xia Zuo, with his unstoppable sharp aura, made Tian Tian tremble from the depths of her soul.

She exclaimed, "No wonder the Hokage never uses ninja tools or ninja way; there's such a glamorous profession!"

.

"Lord Hokage, I want to cultivate immortality!"

The girl's eyes lit up, and she shouted excitedly, "I want to be the number one swordsman in the ninja world!"

"A mind as clear as a mirror, a sword strike without leaving a trace, a single blow is fatal, victory is assured from afar."

"Just thinking about it makes me feel so cool!"

It has to be said that cultivating immortality is a core concept deeply rooted in the soul of every Chinese person. Tian Tian's words stirred Xia Zuo's soul, and he agreed almost without thinking.

From that day on, Tenten began to transform into the Great Demon King of the Ninja Academy.

Under Xia Zuo's guidance, and inspired by Orochimaru's Kusanagi sword, Tian Tian spent a fortune to forge swords to match his secret techniques, including nine flying swords that could hold chakra, as well as a sword case that could store chakra.

The nine flying swords have no hilts and are made entirely of chakra metal. They can contain Tenten's chakra and fly freely within a 300-meter range according to Tenten's will.

The sword case is made of even more precious materials, and it can absorb and store the chakra that Tenten unintentionally emits at all times, replenishing the chakra of the flying sword.

Tenten, who has fully mastered the secret technique, has a mysterious connection with the flying sword. She only needs to turn her thoughts and use chakra to draw the corresponding runes in her body to control the sword box to launch the long sword.

After the flying sword is launched, Tian Tian controls it with her own willpower.

In order to master the flying sword, he devoted a great deal of time and energy to practicing day and night.

It took me three months to go from being completely unable to control the flying sword after it was launched to being able to control it to fly back, albeit clumsily.

It took Tian Tian 45 days to go from flying swords at a speed comparable to shuriken to being able to shoot down 6 incoming shuriken.

From controlling the flying sword to accelerate and strike like lightning, to maneuvering the flying sword nimbly like a swimming fish to launch circling attacks on the enemy, it took Tian Tian another 4 months.

Just before graduation, Tenten was finally able to control two flying swords and engage in the most precise battles outside the range of ninjutsu.

Thus, Tenten transformed into the first "Sword Immortal" in the ninja world.

Although she lacked chakra and could only control two flying swords at the same time, she was still able to weave a dense sword net that left dozens of ninjas of the same age helpless.

This flying sword technique was so powerful that Xia Zuo naturally wanted to promote it in Konoha Village, but the result was a complete failure.

When the finance department presented the total budget for the project to Xia Zuo, the wealthy and powerful Fifth Hokage of Konoha felt dizzy and silently abandoned the idea of ​​creating a second set.

Let alone forging another set of swords, even forging another flying sword made of chakra metal would be something the Hokage couldn't bear to do.
