On the training ground.
Kazuki and Minato stood opposite each other.
In the nearby stands, Tsunade, Orochimaru and Jiraiya watched the two with a somewhat subtle atmosphere.
"Tsunade, just wait and see, Minato's strength is definitely beyond your expectations!" Jiraiya had already mentally uncorked a bottle of champagne, as if he could already see the golden flash of Minato defeating Kazuki in the blink of an eye.
"Jiraiya, maybe you should wait a bit before talking..." Tsunade crossed her arms, her tone full of confidence. "Kazuki is a ninja you can always trust."
Orochimaru looked at the quarreling Tsunade and Jiraiya with amusement, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared at Minato's figure.
Orochimaru was very curious about Minato.
How strong was Minato's talent to make Jiraiya seem to have lost his mind and think that his apprentice would have the possibility of competing with him for the position of Hokage in the near future?
Orochimaru even felt that if Jiraiya himself came to compete for the position of Hokage, he would not be so confident...
"Uchiha, kid, do your best, I want to see something more interesting..."
Orochimaru gently encouraged Kazuki, he did not take Asuma's boasting seriously.
An Uchiha who knew the Second Hokage's Water Release, the Senju Clan's Chakra Enhanced Strength, and the Uzumaki Clan's sealing techniques? That sounded like nonsense. Having a superficial knowledge didn't mean one knew how to use it in actual combat.
Jiraiya laughed at that time.
However, after all, Asuma is a cute and weak Genin, so it is normal that he has poor vision.
And there are other people who are paying attention to this competition.
After Uchiha Madara used his ultimate wisdom to decide that sincerity is the ultimate move to defeat Kazuki, he felt comfortable.
Every day, he pays attention to health preservation, strives to meet Kazuki in a more decent way, and occasionally turns on the White Zetsu TV to see how Kazuki is doing recently...
Although he could not spy inside the Senju clan's residence, Madara was patient.
He just had to wait.
According to Black Zetsu's report, Uchiha Obito, the pre-determined lackey and spare tire of Kazuki, has been controlled by it from the inside out, and can quickly turn evil at any time.
Now, everything is ready, and the only thing missing is a fierce enough shinobi war...
"Madara-sama, wake up quickly! Kazuki-sama did not go to the Senju clan residence today!"
In a trance, Uchiha Madara, who was taking a nap, heard White Zetsu calling him. "Kazuki-sama is going to fight with someone. I heard that the yellow-haired man on the opposite side knows the technique that can teleport. He is a very difficult opponent!"
Uchiha Madara woke up instantly...
His younger brother and the damn Flying Thunder God Technique are scars on his heart that he will never be able to get over in his life.
Kazuki, can you get over this hurdle?
...
Hokage's office.
"Mito-sama, why are you here? Please take a rest!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was watching the battle through his crystal ball, quickly stood up upon seeing Uzumaki Mito's figure, giving up his seat and approaching her respectfully.
"Monkey, I came here this time to talk to you about Kazuki. This child is a little special."
Uzumaki Mito looked out the window and said softly: "ANBU, please withdraw first."
Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately made seals with both hands and issued an order: "Everyone withdraw!"
Uzumaki Mito sat on the main seat. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the crystal ball in the middle of the table, which was reflecting the figures of Kazuki and Minato. He took it with interest.
"Are those two fighting?"
"Mito-sama, Kazuki and Minato seem to want to compete..." Hiruzen replied, with an awkward smile.
He knew well that this duel was an extension of the tensions between his pupils.
And about those tensions, no one knew more about them than he, the Hokage and his teacher. But there was not much he could do.
His students and their disciples were very capable, but there was only one Hokage position, which meant that decisions had to be made with great care...
"Hehe, so that's how it is..."
Uzumaki Mito glanced at the members of Hiruzen's team who were frowning, and instantly understood what was going on. He smiled and said: "Very good, healthy competition will make Konoha's future better."
"Monkey, sit down and watch with me."
Uzumaki Mito looked very interested, and Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled bitterly.
This old lady, why does she still like to watch the fun...
...
"Little boy, do you know how to deal with the Flying Thunder God Technique?"
Kazuki blinked and said very obediently: "I don't know, please teach me, Tobirama-sensei."
The unknown original creator of Flying Thunder God, Senju Tobirama, who was criticized by Jiraiya for his flaws, laughed very much at this moment.
"It doesn't matter if you don't know, I'll teach you!"
Tobirama raised three fingers and said in a deep voice: "First, the Flying Thunder God Technique relies on the accuracy of kunai throwing. If the opponent is equally skilled in throwing kunai, knowing the intelligence greatly reduces the threat."
"Second, every time the Flying Thunder God Technique is used, the user experiences a slight delay when passing through space. If the enemy's reflexes are faster, it is like offering to receive an attack from the enemy."
"Third, due to the characteristics of the Flying Thunder God Technique, the caster often participates in close-range surprise attacks. If the enemy has a way to strengthen the body, it will also fall into a passive situation."
Kazuki nodded thoughtfully.
This is a strange feeling, just like taking an exam, but before entering the exam room, the question setter first explained the answer on the blackboard, which is an open book within an open book...
Kazuki seemed to have discovered a blind spot. "I heard that your enemy Uchiha Izuna was severely injured by your Flying Thunder God Technique. But he met all the requirements to counter it, didn't he?"
"The dynamic vision of the Sharingan, the kenjutsu and throwing techniques of the Uchiha clan..."
When Senju Tobirama heard Kazuki mention this name, his eyebrows jumped. "I developed the Flying Thunder God Technique specifically for him. I didn't give him a second chance; he will always be a loser to me."
"Well, kid, I've told you everything. Now go and beat that yellow-haired kid!" Tobirama said, annoyed. "How dare you say that my technique has flaws? I want to see where he has improved it!"
Meanwhile Minato was holding a three-pointed kunai, smiling like a little sun. "Kazuki-kun, are you ready?"
"You should be careful, I'm very fast..."
Kazuki gave Minato a smile. "Come on, Minato-aniki!"
In the blink of an eye, Minato appeared beside Kazuki.
He hadn't used the Flying Thunder God Technique, but his speed with the Body Flicker Technique was enough to make Orochimaru's eyes narrow in surprise.
He couldn't keep up clearly...
Jiraiya smiled, as did Tsunade.
Minato's speed was getting faster and faster, but it was a pity that he didn't have the opportunity to show the Flying Thunder God Technique...
Minato, like a golden flash, threw his kunai straight towards Kazuki's neck, certain that this blow would be decisive.
However, at that instant, Kazuki tilted his head slightly, his eyes met Minato's, and a red flash flashed in them.
Minato's body stood still for an instant, and at that moment, Kazuki's fist hit his abdomen hard, sending him flying.
"Minato-aniki, it seems you've forgotten something important. Never look into the eyes of someone who has the Sharingan." Kazuki said quietly, as he watched Minato holding his stomach in pain.
With a soft smile, he added: "Although I'm just a genin, everything Asuma mentioned before… well, I know a thing or two about it."
"If possible, I would like to see the real Namikaze Minato. Don't hold back with me."
Kazuki smiled gently, and this smile was as warm as the sun.
Minato held his abdomen tightly, swallowing to prevent the contents of his stomach from spilling out. The warm, confident, sun-like smile disappeared from his face, leaving a serious expression.
This punch of Kazuki almost made Minato vomit directly...
'Kazuki's power is unlike that of an Uchiha... it's even greater than Jiraiya-sensei's!'
Minato thought, quickly analyzing the situation.
'If what Asuma said just now is true, then I must take into account that Kazuki is an Uchiha with the three-tomoe Sharingan...'
Minato recalled Asuma's words, as he blinked.
It seems that Kazuki knows a lot?
"Hey, Tsunade! This brat Kazuki really is an Uchiha with the three-tomoe Sharingan!" Jiraiya said, surprised as he looked at Kazuki. With a suspicious tone, he turned to Tsunade: "Were you waiting for this moment?"
With the character of the Uchiha clan, if they are lucky enough to open the three-tomoe Sharingan, then the whole Uchiha clan will basically know it the next day.
No Uchiha can resist the urge to show off his power...
If it is an eight-year-old three-tomoe like Uchiha Obito, let alone the Uchiha clan, the whole Konoha will know this news, and even the shinobi world will have heard of it.
Low-key?
The Uchiha clan has never had this habit!
Showing off in front of others when you get the power is the usual style of the arrogant Uchiha clan!
There are indeed too few people who are as low-key as Kazuki...
"What nonsense are you talking about, Jiraiya?"
Tsunade sneered and said: "Didn't Asuma tell you all the information about Kazuki just now?"
Asuma glanced at Jiraiya and said with emotion: "I really liked what Kazuki once said: The toad at the bottom of the well can only see a piece of sky. No matter what it is, you always have to think beyond..."
Jiraiya was momentarily paralyzed. He had a feeling that Asuma was calling him narrow-minded, but he had no proof to confirm it.
