Capítulo 20: Chapter 20: Passing the Assessment
Kakashi dashed around Ryujiro, throwing several shuriken from his hand.
"Clang clang clang!"
Ryujiro dispelled his Armament Haki, unsheathed his sword, and swung it a few times, causing the incoming shuriken to scatter on the ground.
Meanwhile, Kakashi swiftly formed hand seals.
Fire Release! Great Fireball Jutsu!
Kakashi took a deep breath, gathering chakra in his throat, then spewed out a massive fireball towards Ryujiro.
The students of the ninja academy, witnessing Kakashi's execution of the Great Fireball Jutsu, erupted into gasps.
The Great Fireball Jutsu.
Indeed, the scale of chakra and the range of the Jutsu were different. It was twice as large as Sasuke's Great Fireball.
However...
It was just a Great Fireball.
*Swoosh!*
A plain and simple slash descended, a dazzling blade flashed before everyone's eyes.
*Boom!*
A slash towering seven to eight meters high tore through the academy's training ground.
The exaggerated power and suffocating sensation caused Kakashi's eyes to contract involuntarily.
Was this a slash?!
The massive fireball instantly split into two halves and exploded, causing the training ground to tremble.
But the slash didn't stop there; it rapidly spread towards Kakashi's position.
The speed of the slash wasn't slow, but visually, it gave a sense of slow propagation.
When Kakashi came to his senses, he instantly used Body Flicker Jutsu to evade this terrifying slash.
*Rumble!*
The moment the slash burst apart, countless rubble splattered, leaving a horrifying trench on the school's training ground.
The moment Kakashi appeared with Body Flicker, Ryujiro had already captured Kakashi's position.
A residual image remained in place.
A horizontally sweeping blade again appeared dazzlingly before Kakashi's eyes, freezing everything for a moment.
The cold blade pressed against Kakashi's neck, making him stiff.
Ryujiro grinned, "Looks like I've won, Kakashi-san."
When the dust settled, the students of the ninja academy looked at the horrifying silhouette on the ground, wearing expressions of disbelief.
Such a perception!
Asuma looked at Ryujiro in shock, his turbulent heart unable to calm down for a long time.
"I lost."
Kakashi sighed helplessly.
The students of the academy were astonished, watching the man with short hair and dark green eyes.
"What was that reddish dark slash just now?"
"Ryujiro defeated Kakashi-san?"
"Doesn't that mean he's already on par with Jonin?!"
Looking at the straight crack on the ground, the students of the ninja academy wore expressions of horror, unable to calm down for a long time.
Sasuke clenched his fists, his blood-red eyes showing black tomoe.
Why?!
Why was the gap between him and Ryujiro so huge, when he was supposed to be the Uchiha prodigy?
If he had such strength, could he have prevented the tragedy from happening that day?
Power!
I need more power!
The crazy thought sprouted in Sasuke's heart, the seed of hatred rapidly growing within him.
"Ryujiro is truly amazing. Was that dark slash produced by swordsmanship?"
"I've never seen such terrifying swordsmanship."
"It's as if I saw myself in the past, my youth is still burning!"
Might Guy looked at Ryujiro with passionate eyes.
At this moment, both Kurenai and Asuma wore expressions of disbelief, staring wide-eyed at Ryujiro.
Even though Kakashi had held back, the fight ended much faster than they had expected.
In that instant, this young man seemed to anticipate where Kakashi would appear.
Such keen perception, even the sensory ninja in the village might not have such outstanding perception.
This kid.
He's a genius even more terrifying than Kakashi was in his youth.
At this moment, the entire examination site fell into silence, with only the sound of the breeze whispering in their ears.
All the Jonin present understood that Konoha would once again have a young talent even more outstanding than Kakashi.
Back then, Hatake Sakumo, with his swordsmanship, made the other four major ninja villages fearful of his sword skills, making Konoha truly the number one ninja village.
But just because of the village and Danzo's plan, public opinion gradually pushed Sakumo onto the path of suicide, ultimately causing Konoha to lose a top-level ninja for no reason.
Hiruzen stood up, looking at Ryujiro's relieved smile, he solemnly announced.
"In the name of Hokage, I officially declare that Ryujiro has successfully passed the assessment and officially becomes a Konoha Genin!"
Hiruzen wanted to directly promote Ryujiro to Jonin, but that would seem unfair to other students and even to other Genin and Chunin present in the village.
To become a Jonin of Konoha village, a ninja needed to follow certain steps, not even geniuses like Kakashi or Itachi were directly promoted to Jonin.
Even Kakashi had to apply for early graduation, complete missions, pass the Chunin exams and again complete missions of high rank to be promoted to rank of Jonin.
It was the same for Itachi who did all that, became Chunin and later got directly promoted to Anbu captain.
...…
Konoha Village once again welcomed a stunning swordsmanship genius!
The students of the ninja academy admired Ryujiro. Although they entered the ninja academy, it didn't mean they could pass the graduation assessment smoothly.
But Ryujiro not only graduated early but also successfully became a Genin.
The key was that Ryujiro's opponent in the actual combat was not an ordinary ninja but the long-standing famous Kakashi.
At this moment, countless students regarded Ryujiro as their idol, aspiring to become proud figures like him in the future.
After completing all the procedures, Hiruzen personally placed the Konoha headband on Ryujiro's head.
"Congratulations, Ryujiro, on becoming a Genin. Although your strength is outstanding, becoming a ninja requires more than just strength.
Which one of the four Jonin present here would you like to be your teacher?"
Hiruzen smiled kindly.
Choosing a Jonin instructor, huh.
Ryujiro glanced around.
With his strength, he didn't really need a Jonin instructor, but just-graduated ninjas needed a Jonin instructor to accompany them to undertake village missions.
Among the present Jonin, Kurenai and Asuma were not even within Ryujiro's consideration, they were both took weak.
Might Guy, who possessed the Eight Gates, well, Ryujiro did have some thoughts about the Eight Gates.
With his powerful physique and the possibility of unlocking additional character templates, if he could learn the Eight Gates, he would be able to face monsters of Six Paths level.
"Hokage-sama, I choose Guy-sensei."
Ryujiro looked at Hiruzen and said.
Might Guy?
Ryujiro's choice surprised Hiruzen. He originally thought Ryujiro would choose an elite Jonin like Kakashi.
But unexpectedly, he chose Might Guy, who specialized in Taijutsu, which was quite unexpected.
Might Guy widened his eyes, looking at Ryujiro incredulously.
Had he misheard?
Ryujiro actually chose him as his Jonin instructor!
This was simply too unexpected.
"Guy, Ryujiro has chosen you as his Jonin instructor. Do you agree?"
Hiruzen looked at Guy and asked slowly.
"Hokage-sama, I am willing to become Ryujiro's Jonin instructor."
At the same time, a smile appeared on Might Guy's face, revealing his white teeth, as he gave a thumbs-up to Ryujiro.
"Young Ryujiro, welcome aboard!"
