Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 25 Hiruzen Sarutobi: Am I going to take the blame for Danzo?

We arrived at the assessment site.

As Hiruzen Sarutobi took his seat in the stands, everyone else followed suit and took their seats behind him.

Only Chiga, Murata, and Ryoichi remained on the field.

Ryoichi, holding a stopwatch, said to Chiga in a deep voice, "This exam is a real-world test, Uchiha Chiga. You need to defeat Murata-sensei or survive for ten minutes in a battle to pass the test. Understand?"

"Understood."

Chiga nodded.

"Alright, let the exam begin!"

Mr. Ryoichi pressed the stopwatch in his hand.

At the same time, Murata's hands quickly formed hand seals, and he softly shouted, "Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique!"

In an instant, the arena was shrouded in thick fog, so thick that one could not see their own hand in front of their face.

While the Hidden Mist Technique is a specialty of the Land of Water, there are quite a few ninjas in Konoha who can use it as well.

"this"

Qianhe's expression froze for a moment.

Is it really necessary to take a graduation exam so seriously?!

Although everyone knows he has Sharingan, there's no need to target him like this right from the start.

In such dense fog, let alone the observational ability of a one-tomoe Sharingan, even a three-tomoe Sharingan would be unable to see clearly.

After all, the Sharingan's observational ability can't compare to the Byakugan's.

Chiga originally thought that with his Sharingan and swordsmanship, he could at least dawdle for ten minutes.

This way, I can graduate without revealing too many of my tricks.

Looking at the thick fog and the wisps of killing intent emanating from all around, Qianhe knew that without some other means, he wouldn't be able to last more than ten minutes.

"trouble!"

Chiga moved quickly while forming hand seals.

There are many ways to overcome the Hidden Mist Technique, but the most effective and simplest is Wind Release.

Fortunately, he had already learned two Wind Release ninjutsu, one of which was a Wind Release technique that could dispel the Hidden Mist Technique.

"Wind Release: Great"

After completing the Chiga seal, he took a deep breath and was about to release his Wind Release to dispel the mist.

Unexpectedly, Murata had already appeared silently behind him.

Murata pressed his entire body downwards, gripping the katana with both hands as he slashed at Chiga's waist.

not good!

Chiga had already spotted Murata out of the corner of her eye. If she wanted to unleash her breakthrough at this moment, Murata would inevitably cut her kidney.

For the sake of her future sexual happiness, Chiga had no choice but to suppress her Wind Release, stomped her foot hard, and jumped to the side.

The katana whistled past, and Chiga narrowly dodged it.

Forcibly suppressing his ninjutsu caused his body to churn violently; only Chiga's large chakra reserves allowed him to suppress it.

Murata was slightly surprised to see that his sudden attack had failed and that Chiga was able to withstand the backlash from failing to unleash her ninjutsu.

But instead of continuing his attack, he leaped backward and disappeared into the mist.

"Chiga wanted to use a ninjutsu, but Murata-sensei stabbed him, so he couldn't use it, and his chakra became a bit chaotic."

"So Chiga's in danger? Not even a minute has passed!"

"Does this mean I won't be able to graduate?"

"I think it's going to be difficult!"

"My Chiga-san just ran into a strong opponent, otherwise she would definitely have graduated!"

"Wait a minute, when did Chiga-san become yours?"

"Ever since the last time he opened his eyes!"

The ninja academy students watching from the field couldn't see what was happening because of the fog; only Hyuga Tengji of the Hyuga clan was broadcasting it to them through his Byakugan.

"His timing was perfect, and his actions were decisive. This Mr. Murata is no ordinary person."

"The Sharingan is ineffective in the mist, and Murata seems to be a ninja proficient in Water Release. This Uchiha kid's two strongest techniques are both countered; it'll be difficult for him to last ten minutes!"

Although the fog obscured the ninja academy students' vision, it wasn't enough for Hiruzen Sarutobi and his group, as everyone had sensory abilities to know what was happening in the arena.

"If there are no other options, Chiga will be in trouble."

Even Kakashi wouldn't be able to beat an opponent of this caliber now.

Minato's expression turned slightly serious, and Kushina, who was beside him, gripped his arm tightly, her face extremely gloomy.

She may not think things through, but she's not stupid.

Against an opponent with this level of strength, let alone lasting ten minutes, even three minutes would be considered a testament to the skill of a ninja academy student.

Although he knew that taking Chiga as his disciple was a bit of a headstrong decision and would bring Chiga unnecessary trouble, he did not expect that Chiga would tamper with the graduation exam.

Kushina turned her head and sneered at Hiruzen Sarutobi through gritted teeth, "Hokage-sama, you really are two-faced!"

Kushina clearly believed that Hiruzen Sarutobi was behind it.

Hiruzen Sarutobi: "."

Wait, I've never seen anything like this before! I'm actually going to be the scapegoat for Danzo?!

Hiruzen Sarutobi explained, "Kushina, I've been busy with village affairs lately, so I haven't had the time or inclination to meddle in your private matters."

He said he didn't want to take the blame, otherwise Kushina would bother him to death in the future.

"Hmph, just you wait if Chiga doesn't graduate!"

Kushina clearly didn't believe it. If Minato hadn't been holding her back, she would have already attacked Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The battle on the field reached a stalemate.

Chiga couldn't find anyone and dared not move.

Murata was waiting for Chiga to make a mistake, ready to deliver a fatal blow.

At this moment, Chiga realized that this teacher was definitely someone who had carefully prepared for him.

If all graduation exams were as rigorous and demanding as this teacher's, very few ninja academy students would be able to graduate.

Are they going to have to become cannon fodder themselves?

Thinking of this, Chiga sneered, activated his Sharingan, and drew his katana.

He glanced around and said coldly, "Mr. Murata, if you don't act soon, ten minutes will be up!"

Murata didn't reply, but he understood that Chiga was right. Since Chiga had drawn his katana, it meant that the other party wanted to fight him in close combat.

He hesitated for a moment. According to Chiga's information, swordsmanship was also one of Chiga's strengths.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't have gone forward to grant Chiga's wish.

Even if he can't find Chiga's weakness, he can still attack with ninjutsu.

However, if that were the case, Chiga would be able to observe his chakra flow with his Sharingan, which would expose his position.

But upon closer reflection, how strong could a seven-year-old's swordsmanship be? Moreover, the information given to him also mentioned that Chiga was just an ordinary ninja who had awakened the Sharingan.

In that case, Chiga's swordsmanship is probably only considered excellent among the ninja academy students.

Moreover, the fog was his home turf, and the opponent's Sharingan was unable to be used.

Murata didn't want to wait any longer. Seeing that Chiga was a little relaxed, he used a Body Flicker Technique to appear behind Chiga.

coming!

Chiga had been paying attention to his surroundings, and when he saw Murata appear, his eyes immediately lit up.
