Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

I really don't know where they get the confidence to want to graduate early.

The practical tests mainly focused on taijutsu (physical techniques), supplemented by wooden kunai distributed by the ninja academy.

If the kunai hits a vital spot, you lose.

Soon, it was Bai Yu's turn.

"Yagami Shiraha, Namikaze Minato."

When Bai Yu saw his name called, he came to the center of the field and stood still. Minato Namikaze walked to the opposite side of him.

Among the commoners, Shiraha and Minato Namikaze progressed the fastest.

Minato Namikaze, in particular, grew up in the Konoha Welfare Institute. Despite having average or below-average entrance exam scores, he was able to consistently rank in the top ten of his class within just over a year.

It's important to know that the top ten students in the class are all from wealthy and powerful families. Many of them receive family education before entering school, and many are both talented and hardworking, making them not so easy to catch up with.

The top student in the class is Hyuga Doma. In the second semester of his first year, he refined enough chakra to activate his Byakugan. Combined with the Gentle Fist technique of the Hyuga clan, he directly won first place in the grade.

The second name is Sarutobi Keita, who is from the same clan as the Third Hokage and is skilled in taijutsu and swordsmanship.

Before Bai Yu received Kushina's medicinal supplies, he probably couldn't have defeated these two even using the Knight's Breathing Technique.

The top ten spots were basically taken by the Hyuga, Uchiha, Sarutobi, Yamanaka, Akimichi, and Nara ninja clans.

Shiraha and Minato Namikaze are the exceptions.

Sakamoto Midorikawa often had ordinary students play against each other, so Shiraha was already very familiar with it.

The two entered the arena and formed a pair of opposing hand seals.

"Go, Bai Yu!"

Go Watergate!

The girls in the class screamed, and even girls from other classes noticed.

There are geniuses in schools every year, but those like Bai Yu and Shui Men, who are not only academically excellent and incredibly good-looking, but also gentle and considerate, are extremely rare.

"White Feather—" A voice, slightly delayed but full of energy, rang out. Kushina shouted, "Go for it!"

"start."

Sakamoto Midorikawa was clearly used to it.

Bai Yu noticed that after Minato Namikaze turned his head to look at Kushina, his expression clearly became much more serious.

Students without a background will not be able to access any ninjutsu other than the Three Body Technique before graduation.

Minato Namikaze's ability to enter the top ten is mainly due to his reaction speed, which far surpasses that of his peers.

Bai Yu fought Minato Namikaze last year, and even using the Rider Breathing Technique, he was still slower than him.

He strongly suspected that Minato Namikaze might have some special bloodline or talent.

So, with his deliberate approach, the two got along quite well.

Of course, the reason why he was defeated by Minato Namikaze before was not because the Knight Breathing Technique and meditation technique were ineffective, but because Bai Yu's level was too low, his diet was too poor, and his progress was slow.

The situation is different now.

After practicing advanced sorcerer meditation techniques and being promoted back to first-class apprentice, Bai Yu's physique improved by 0.15, and his strength also increased accordingly, resulting in a significant improvement in his overall strength.

With the improvement of the Knight Breathing Technique, Minato Namikaze is indeed a good opponent.

call out!call out!call out!call out!

Minato Namikaze took four wooden kunai from his ninja tool bag and threw them at Shiraha.

These kunai aren't very lethal, but they still hurt a bit when they hit the body.

As he threw the kunai, Minato Namikaze quickly approached Shiraha.

Seeing this, Bai Yu adjusted his breathing rhythm, lowered his body, rolled over on the grass, and dodged the kunai's attack.

Before he could even stand up, Minato Namikaze attacked, delivering a side kick to his chest.

Bai Yu knelt on his left knee, turned slightly to the side, crossed his hands in front of him, grabbed Minato Namikaze's calf, and pulled it in the direction of the force, while simultaneously kicking Minato's ankle with his right leg.

Minato Namikaze lost his balance and was thrown several meters away by Shiraha.

"ah!"

Some of the girls gasped in surprise.

Minato Namikaze lunged forward towards the grass, bracing himself with both hands to prevent his face from making intimate contact with the grass.

shhhhh!

As Bai Yu threw Minato Namikaze away, he also took out a kunai from his ninja tool bag and threw it at him.

Minato Namikaze braced himself with both hands on the ground to absorb the force. Facing the flying kunai, he bent his right arm, and his body immediately tilted to the right, so that he was bracing himself with one hand.

Four kunai flew past his waist.

Immediately afterwards, he turned his right hand to support himself with his left hand on the ground, his body spun in the air, and then stood firmly.

"Minato is so cool!"

"Shh—" Seeing the girls shouting excitedly, Sakamoto Midorikawa quickly made a shushing gesture.

Minato's reaction was the fastest in the class!

What surprised him even more was Bai Yu's progress; his physical movements and reactions were faster than at the beginning of the semester.

According to information from Konoha Hospital, Shiraha has a very strong talent for medical ninjutsu.

It seems that he has made great progress in his control over chakra.

shhhhhh!

Bai Yu threw another shuriken and ran towards Minato Namikaze, and the two instantly began close-quarters combat.

Knights excel at close-range burst damage.

Bai Yu first engaged Minato in a fierce battle, then quietly activated the Knight Breathing Technique. A warm current, along with chakra, surged from his lower abdomen into his limbs, enhancing his strength and speed.

Minato, who was engaged in battle with him, immediately realized that something was wrong.

Bai Yu seems to have gotten faster.

Originally, the two hit each other about the same number of times, but now he can't hit Bai Yu anymore.

Moreover, Bai Yu was very strong. After taking a few punches, he couldn't hold on any longer and began to be on the defensive.

"come on!"

The students watching were very interested; both fighters were exceptionally skilled in martial arts.

Snapped!

In the end, Minato Namikaze, exhausted, slowed down and could only use his elbow to block a punch he couldn't dodge in time. His arm went numb and he staggered back several steps.

"Wait, I lost, Shiraha-kun." Facing Shiraha, who still had the strength to attack, Minato Namikaze shook his numb arm forcefully and smiled as he admitted defeat.

After saying that, his legs went weak, and he sat down on the grass, panting heavily.

Bai Yu paused, pretending to be exhausted, and panted:

"Minato, if you hold on for just one more minute, I'll be the one to give up."

The goal is to achieve a victory against Minato Namikaze through a protracted battle.

"Battle over! Shiraha wins. Both of you were excellent; it was a truly wonderful battle." Sakamoto Midorikawa said with approval.

Although these two don't know ninjutsu, their basic skills are very solid, and their taijutsu is better than that of ordinary genin.

"Shiroha is so handsome... but Minato is handsome too, I like them both."

"Yes, it's so hard to choose."

"Shiroha is the strongest! Minato, you can take him away."

"All of you, get out of my way. Bai Yu is mine. I want to cultivate with him."

The girls screamed excitedly.

Sakamoto Midorikawa looked somewhat helpless.

When Minato Namikaze formed the reconciliation seal with Shiraha, he exclaimed, "Shiraha-kun, you're amazing! You've improved so quickly."

At the beginning of the semester, Bai Yu was still quite far behind him, but he caught up with him in just a few months, and he accepted his defeat wholeheartedly.

"I could cultivate day and night just to catch up a little bit. Let's work hard together." Bai Yu smiled slightly.

Among children of the same age, few can remain as composed as Minato Namikaze after losing.

"Mm." Minato nodded with a smile.

When Shiraha returned to the group, he went to Kushina's side.

When she went on stage, Bai Yu clenched his fist and said, "Go for it!"

He wanted to see just how strong Kushina, with such powerful chakra, really was.

"Hmm." Kushina looked very encouraged.

However, the result was beyond Bai Yu's expectations; she was easily defeated by the top three.

"This combat ability is too poor..." Bai Yu was speechless.

The battle continues.

However, halfway through, Bai Yu suddenly sensed something strange.

[Affected by an unknown energy field]

10132186

[Chapter 12. The Situation and Jinchūriki]

Bai Yu immediately activated his "Sixth Sense".

Within the range of perception, Kushina was as conspicuous as a spotlight in the dark, and the energy field around her was extremely active.

However, Bai Yu noticed another unknown energy force, which seemed to be spying on this place.
