Chapter 65: Sarutobi's Test
There is a vast lawn outside Konoha Village. In the dim sunset, the sound of the waterfall was very noisy. But compared to the sound of rushing water, the huge collision sounds that occasionally came from nearby were more attention-grabbing. On the vast lawn, two black shadows were chasing each other and crossing paths.
"Fire Style: Flame Bullet!"
As hand seals were formed and chakra flowed in his body, three blazing fireballs were spat out of Uchiha Sasuke's mouth one after another and shot towards Naruto. The roar of the fireballs, sounding like cannonballs, clearly rang out in this peaceful environment. Naruto dodged the fireballs without panic, and in the gap between dodging, he also formed a seal, "Wind Style: Wind Cutting Technique!"
The nearly invisible wind-style technique transformed the hurricane into a sharp blade that could reap lives. It flew out from the gaps between several fireballs and headed towards Uchiha Sasuke. But as expected, Naruto's ninjutsu was also easily dodged by Uchiha Sasuke. Sasuke now no longer had the arrogance and contempt that he had when he first accepted the challenge.
At the beginning of the battle, when he saw Naruto's speed and ninjutsu, he had already put those emotions aside and took the battle seriously.
"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"
A strong hurricane rose from around Naruto and swept towards Uchiha Sasuke. This momentum directly brought up a lot of weeds that had no roots in the soil. Those weeds also had slight lethality under this hurricane. Without hesitation, Uchiha Sasuke retreated nimbly and out of the range of the ninjutsu. While running and dodging Naruto's pursuit, he was thinking about how to fight back. Naruto's chakra was stronger than he thought.
Farther away, Ryosuke and Hinata stood quietly on a giant tree, opening their Byakugan and watching the battle from above.
"Wow... so amazing. With this level of ninjutsu, Uchiha Sasuke was able to react and retreat in the first time." Hinata widened her eyes and watched the battle. From time to time she would exclaim in admiration, her tone full of envy. Under Ryosuke's guidance, she knew exactly what her shortcomings were. In battle, she always lacks the corresponding reaction speed and is always unable to exert her own strength.
But in this battle, she felt that both of them possessed extraordinary fighting talents. They were like natural ninjas, possessing extremely sharp combat intuition and nerve reaction speed.
"You can do it in the future, as long as you work hard," Ryosuke said with a chuckle, and was about to reach out and stroke Hinata's hair to comfort her. But the perception brought by the Byakugan made him stop.
"Hinata-chan reach the level both of them posssess, but it won't be easy to catch up with them."
A hoarse but kind voice sounded beside the two of them. At some point, an old man in a white robe and a bamboo hat came to their side and stood on the giant tree with them.
"Third... third Hokage."
Ryosuke first pretended to be surprised and took a step back, then asked politely, "Why are you here?" Hinata next to her also called out obediently.
"Good boy."
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and nodded, his face full of age spots wrinkled, "Naruto's application for graduation assessment has been approved. I went to his house but didn't find anyone. I heard some noise and came to check, only to find that they were fighting privately here."
"Naruto just wants to get the title of top student in the grade before graduation legitimately, not by taking shortcuts. Please don't blame him," Ryosuke explained. He no longer had the smiling look he always had, nor did he have the expressionless look when he was relaxed, nor did he pretend to be nervous for Naruto. He acted very normal, as if he just mentioned it casually.
He didn't believe a sinle word Sarutobi Hiruzen said. You have to know that ever since they met Uchiha Sasuke, the feeling of being watched has never stopped. Rather than saying that Sarutobi Hiruzen came to inform Naruto, it would be more accurate to say that he came to monitor the battle to prevent any accidents.
"I don't blame him."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was very satisfied with Ryosuke's casual and lukewarm attitude. "I often heard Naruto talk about you. He said you are his only friends in school."
"After all, we're classmates. Besides... I know his situation. My father has mentioned it to Hinata and I ." Ryosuke turned his attention back to the battle below. "He shouldn't be in that situation. He's the son of a hero."
"Naruto, that's pitiful."
Hinata also briefly expressed her opinion, "But he works hard and is very strong."
"Yes..."
When this matter was mentioned, Sarutobi Hiruzen's smile faded a little. He sighed helplessly but did not explain further. He also turned around and looked at the figure fighting hard below, his eyes were very complicated. The battle below was still going on, but the atmosphere atop the giant tree was somewhat quiet. Ryosuke and Hinata did not take the initiative to talk, and Sarutobi Hiruzen did not speak either.
As time passed, the battle situation below began to change from being evenly matched. Uchiha Sasuke's physical strength began to decline, and his chakracapacity was slowly decreasing. He is still able to keep fighting now, relying entirely on what he has learned and his talent. If it were an ordinary ninja, he would have lost the battle by now because the changes in the battle situation affected his mood. But because of his inner pride, he always insisted on not giving up.
"It looks like it's over."
But persistence is just persistence after all. As bystanders, the three of them knew very well that the outcome of this battle had been decided.
At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke again, "Naruto's strength is under my guidance. I am still very confident about his graduation assessment, but..."
"I am more hesitant about what kind of companions should be assigned to him after he officially becomes a ninja. I don't know what kind of companions will accept him."
"Ryosuke-chan, have you ever considered applying for early graduation?"
Like an old man who was worried about whether his grandson would be bullied on his first day of kindergarten, he wanted to find a suitable teammate for Naruto. But his words made Ryosuke wary.
"I need to accompany Hinata. She is the future head of the family. Protecting her growth is very important to our clan. This is also what my father meant," he replied with a chuckle. He had expected that Sarutobi Hiruzen would notice his strength and had been hiding it. Even without the insight and perspective of the Byakugan, a person's strength can still be judged based on other aspects. But it is more difficult to detect the specific level. Therefore, Ryosuke was not worried that Sarutobi Hiruzen would become more suspicious of the Hyuga because of his talent. Because at this time, Hinata's identity and Hyuga's rules will become his umbrella of protection.
"Really... that's a pity indeed."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked a little disappointed. He took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to Ryosuke, "After their battle is over, give this scroll to Naruto and tell him that he will take the graduation test tomorrow."
