Kizaru controlled the size of the laser, continuously shooting thin lasers from the tip of his index finger.
These lasers were extremely weak. As long as they didn't hit vital areas, they wouldn't cause any harm to the four little ones, just a slight stinging sensation.
The were two reason for choosing the dodgeball-like evasion training. Kizaru wanted to test Minato's neural response speed to see if it was as impressive as the plot suggested. Additionally, it served as an exercise to improve the four little ones' reaction speed and physical fitness.
At Kizaru's request, they couldn't seek cover for evasion. The four had to continuously dodge while standing in the open training ground, making them look quite embarrassed.
Among them, Minato, who received special attention from Kizaru, appeared to be the most awkward from an outsider's perspective.
However, Kizaru, who had been paying attention to Minato, noticed that he was hit the least among the four.
Indeed, Minato had an outstanding talent in neural response speed.
The evasion training lasted half an hour. In the last few minutes, Kizaru noticed that the four had exhausted their stamina, with Minato being the most apparent, nearly depleted of energy.
Lifting his right index finger to his mouth, Kizaru blew a breath, extinguishing the golden light at the fingertip.
"Game over!"
Hearing Kizaru's words, the four on the field sat down, panting heavily.
Stepping forward, Kizaru walked to each of them, lifted them off the ground, and then stood in the center, continuing to speak.
"Yoshihiko, you were hit 15 times!"
Hearing his name, Yoshihiko immediately perked up, looking at Kizaru eagerly.
"Yuki, you were hit 12 times!"
Smiling at Kizaru, Yuki didn't hesitate to show off to Yoshihiko.
"Shinobu, you were hit 15 times!"
Expressing disappointment in his eyes, Shinobu lowered his head.
"Minato, hit only 9 times," Kizaru said after calling Minato's name. He then flashed an encouraging smile at him before continuing, "Well done. You've been hit the least."
After hearing Kizaru's words, Yoshihiko and Shinobu, who had just lowered their heads, couldn't help but look at Minato.
Facing everyone's gaze, Minato showed a gentle smile and awkwardly rubbed the back of his head.
Clasping her hands tightly, Yuki didn't look at Minato. After seeing Kizaru praise Minato, she silently vowed to herself that she would get first place next time and earn Kizaru's praise.
After commenting on everyone's performance, Kizaru surveyed the four faces with different expressions and continued his evaluation.
"Especially you, Minato. Your reaction speed is excellent. You can focus more on this in the future. Also, your stamina is a bit lacking, so you should work on that."
Hearing Kizaru's praise, Minato expressed gratitude with a smile and nodded to indicate he understood.
"Yoshihiko and Shinobu, although your performance was the worst, the issues are different. Shinobu, your reaction speed is actually not slow, but it's mainly your physical fitness, especially the lack of explosive power. You need more practice when you go back. Yoshihiko, on the other hand, your physical fitness is good, but your reaction is a bit slow. You should work on that."
"I'll practice hard, Big Brother Kizaru!" Determined, Yoshihiko said.
"I understand, Big Brother Kizaru," Shinobu nodded.
After commenting on the three boys, Kizaru turned to Yuki.
"Yuki, your performance was quite good just now," Kizaru praised Yuki gently. Then, he continued, "Like Shinobu, your explosive power is slightly lacking. You can practice with Shinobu to improve."
Nodding toward Kizaru, Yuki remained silent but determined.
After finishing the evaluations, Kizaru walked back to the central position and addressed them collectively, "Now, you can practice on your own!"
As everyone began their individual exercises, Kizaru singled out Yoshihiko and said, "Yoshihiko, practice with Minato."
Feeling a bit awkward but not refusing, Yoshihiko nodded and said, "I understand, Big Brother Kizaru!"
Afterward, Yoshihiko walked over to Minato, inviting him to practice together.
With the four starting their exercises, Kizaru stretched lazily and began his own training.
The Uchiha clan's residence was bustling at the moment.
The reason for the commotion was quite simple. The six-year-old Uchiha Inaho had just awakened his Sharingan.
To awaken the Sharingan at the age of six was exceptionally rare in the history of the Uchiha clan.
Upon hearing the news, members of the Uchiha clan and elders couldn't help but rush to Inaho's family shop.
Surrounded by the elders, Uchiha Inaho was demonstrating his newly awakened Sharingan.
"Our Uchiha clan has given birth to another genius!"
"I could tell Inaho has innate talent."
"Yes! Inaho is truly remarkable."
Listening to the praises from the elders and the joyful laughter of his parents behind him, Inaho felt extremely happy.
For a six-year-old child, the praises of parents and elders were the best gifts in the world.
With a face full of joy and a high-spirited smile, filled with the taste of happiness, Inaho had never felt so happy and satisfied before.
"Inaho, how did you awaken the Sharingan?" asked an elder from the Uchiha clan, curious.
"I..." Inaho's mouth opened, but he suddenly stopped.
How did he awaken it?
He was provoked by that jerk from the Hyuga clan!
Feeling embarrassed about the way he activated the Sharingan, Inaho didn't feel like answering.
However, facing the expectant and curious gazes of the elders around him, Inaho hesitated for a long time before finally opening his mouth.
"This morning, my classmate Toda from the Hyuga clan... he taunted me. I got angry and activated it."
After saying this, feeling a bit embarrassed, a blush appeared on Inaho's small face, and he lowered his head.
"Activated it out of anger?"
The Uchiha clan members around them clicked their tongues in amazement, exchanging glances.
"What did that Toda from the Hyuga clan say?" someone curiously asked.
"He first challenged my classmate Kizaru, saying that our Uchiha clan is no match for Kizaru and that only he is worthy."
Hearing this, many proud members of the Uchiha clan showed expressions of anger. Obviously, they were provoked by Toda's words.
"I was very angry, so I stood up to question him. As a result... he activated his Byakugan and said that I, at six years old, hadn't activated my eyes, so I wasn't qualified to talk to him."
As Inaho finished speaking, silence fell over the scene.
Everyone was rendered speechless by the words of that child from the Hyuga clan.
