Chapter 64 Qingyu: I'm going to fight Hiruzen Sarutobi, really?
A week later.
Qingyu and Kakashi walked into the Hokage Building side by side. The two had already discussed it the night before and decided to submit their applications for early graduation together.
The Chunin in charge of receiving the applicants paused for a moment when he saw the two young faces before taking the application forms and hurriedly running upstairs to report.
The exam was held in a spacious training room inside the ninja academy.
Hiruzen Sarutobi sat in the main seat, surrounded by several supervising teachers, including Shika Umino. Looking at his two star students, he couldn't hide his pride.
It's all settled now!
He's definitely going to be recognized as an outstanding teacher this year!
Both Qingyu and Kakashi completed the tests on "Transformation Technique" and "Clone Technique" flawlessly.
Kakashi's clones were solid and stable, with such realistic details that even his instructors couldn't tell the difference between the real and fake clones.
Qingyu's transformation technique was so precise that it even affected the folds of his clothes. Haiyelu mentally gave him a perfect score for his control.
After the basic assessment was over, Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up from his seat.
He took off his Hokage robe, casually draped it over the back of the chair, and stretched his wrists.
"It's been a long time since I've had students applying for early graduation this early. I happen to have some free time today, so I'll give you guys a try myself."
The instructors in the examination room looked at each other in bewilderment.
The third generation leader personally examined the students, something that hadn't happened in many years.
Kakashi glanced at Qingyu subconsciously, and Qingyu was also somewhat surprised.
I'm fighting Hiruzen Sarutobi?
real or fake?
"Of course, Hokage-sama."
Despite her inner complaints, Kiyoyu still responded to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Hiruzen Sarutobi would certainly not bully a junior like him; he would only be testing his strength.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze swept back and forth between the two, finally settling on Kiyoha.
"Qingyu, you go first."
Hiruzen Sarutobi was more familiar with Kiyoha, so he decided to try Kiyoha out first.
"Yes, Lord Hokage."
Qingyu nodded and walked directly towards Hiruzen Sarutobi. He didn't draw his sword, didn't form hand seals, and didn't even adopt a basic defensive stance; he simply walked straight towards the strongest Hokage in the ninja world. Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned slightly as he watched this unsuspecting child approach him.
"Qingyu, a ninja should think twice before acting, especially when facing a stronger opponent. You just rushed in without any preparation..."
"Lord Hokage, I was prepared long ago."
Before he finished speaking, Qingyu's chakra exploded beneath his feet, and he leaped into the air.
He raised his right fist high and slammed it down heavily in the direction of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his hand to block.
The two fists collided with a dull thud, and the shockwave ripped several pages of paper off the wall of the training room.
Hiruzen Sarutobi raised an eyebrow slightly; this kid's strength was far greater than he had anticipated.
The two were locked in a stalemate for a moment, locked in a struggle.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's lower body was as stable as a rock. He lowered his center of gravity, preparing to use the momentum to throw Kiyoha into the air.
"Qingyu!"
Kakashi was somewhat worried.
Soon, he discovered that the situation on the field had changed again.
Just before Hiruzen Sarutobi unleashed his power, a completely different force suddenly erupted from Kiyoha's fist.
Qingyu unleashed his "super strength" chakra, and at the same time, his fist was covered in white chakra flames, shaped like a sword tip.
Knowing that this was the "Strongest Hokage," Qingyu added the power of "Sword Bone Perfection" to it.
boom!
Hiruzen Sarutobi's body began to shatter.
But the next moment, his body turned a yellowish-brown color.
"It's soil..."
Kakashi was stunned.
He didn't even see when Hiruzen Sarutobi released the ninjutsu.
The soil fell and scattered on the floor.
The real Hiruzen Sarutobi had retreated several steps away at some point. He looked down at the back of his hand, where there was a shallow bloodstain on his skin.
Although it was just a minor scrape, it was still an injury.
Earth Release: Earth Substitute.
Just before being hit, Hiruzen Sarutobi covered his body with a layer of Earth Release chakra to disguise it as his own form, while his real body emerged from the shell behind him.
This was a technique he rarely used; he couldn't even remember the last time he was forced to use it to escape.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was also impressed by Kiyoha's unexpected move.
Who would have thought that Qingyu would have such "superhuman strength" at such a young age?
It should be noted that Tsunade at her age does not possess "superhuman strength".
Moreover, Qingyu seems to possess a special secret technique that enhances its power.
The current results are the result of combining both approaches.
"So sharp."
Hiruzen Sarutobi wiped the blood off the back of his hand.
[Collectible trait detected: The Ambition of the Third Hokage]
[Rank C Trait: The Ambition of the Third Hokage]
[Effect: When practicing Earth Release ninjutsu, you will receive a comprehension bonus similar to that of Hiruzen Sarutobi during his youth.]
Qingyu withdrew his fist, and the white chakra wrapped around his fist slowly dissipated.
His breathing only quickened slightly before returning to normal.
A C-rank trait, just like last time, is a bonus to comprehension during his youth. Hiruzen Sarutobi should have even more good things on him.
Qingyu suddenly felt that [The Strongest Hokage] was indeed strong, with a drop rate much higher than others.
"You flatter me, Lord Hokage. You were careless this time, but I won't be so easy next time."
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at him, his eyes filled with both admiration and regret.
Qingyu's ability to seize opportunities is too strong. From the moment he underestimated his opponent, to the moment he used "super strength" and "natural sword bone" to unleash a fatal blow.
Such a combat instinct cannot be taught.
It's a pity that Qingyu is still a hothouse flower, lacking real combat experience.
He was, after all, someone who had experienced the Fourth Shinobi World War; this level of experience was not enough to make him truly take it seriously.
Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and flexed his wrists again.
Ask Qingyu what secret technique she had just used.
"Lord Hokage, this is... a secret technique I created myself."
Qingyu said.
Neither the Senju clan nor the Uchiha clan possessed a similar technique, so Qingyu was referring to it as self-created.
"Original creation?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was surprised, his eyes filled with delight.
As a ninja who was proficient in all five elemental ninjutsu and knew most of Konoha's secret and forbidden techniques, he was well aware of the difficulty involved.
Konoha has never lacked geniuses.
However, most people simply use the ninjutsu of their predecessors, and very few people develop new ninjutsu.
One more ninjutsu would give Konoha an extra layer of strength.
Qingyu is now capable of creating his own ninjutsu.
If Kiyoha could create many techniques like Tobirama, then Konoha's strength would be further enhanced.
This child not only resembles me, but also seems to be my teacher.
Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi also began to look forward to it.
"You really are a genius to have such abilities."
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed.
"Lord Hokage, Kakashi is actually creating his own ninjutsu."
Qingyu spoke.
