As Long as We Defeat Them, Won't We Be the Strongest of the Younger Generation?

Fire Style: Great Fire Dragon Technique!

Sasuke's mouth bulged high, and a large amount of Fire Release Nature Transformation Chakra transformed into flames was exhaled forward from his throat.

Meanwhile, Hinata waved her hands, her Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm continuously blocking Hagoromo's position with air waves.

Upon seeing this, Hagoromo raised her hand, her hands Yang Release: Armament Covering, and casually waved it.

The dragon-shaped flames were instantly dispersed by the palm strike, turning into scattered sparks that fell all around.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, several kunai were shot at Hagoromo Kunai a blind spot, and Hagoromo's lips curled up when he saw this.

Ding ding--

After a series of crisp sounds, several Kunai were knocked to the side.

Upon seeing this, Naruto immediately activated the Flying Thunder God and appeared behind Hagoromo, his Yang Release: Armament Covering his right fist.

"Ha!"

Hagoromo dodged to the side, and with a swift movement, unleashed a series of combos that sent Naruto flying.

Just then, Sasuke and Hinata seized the opportunity and immediately pounced on them.

"Chidori!"

"Gentle Fist: Twin Lions!"

Two Chakra figures, one blue and one purple, came from both sides, their momentum overwhelming.

Hagoromo ducked down and grabbed Sasuke, who was closer to him, ignoring the lightning erupting from Sasuke's body.

With his left hand, he grasped the Chidori in Sasuke, instantly breaking the jutsu, and then threw Sasuke in the direction Naruto had just come from.

Before Naruto could even get up, Sasuke pinned him down.

Then, Hagoromo turned around again and easily broke through Hinata's moves one by one, and then kicked Hinata away as she was blocking.

"Too slow."

Hagoromo looked at the three disciples' figures and shook her head.

Sasuke got up and left Naruto, Naruto cushion, his breathing slightly erratic.

Naruto, clutching his head and looking distressed, said, "This is so hard! It shouldn't have been this difficult to deal with that white-haired old man."

After the three arrived at the training ground, Hagoromo informed them that they would need to compete with him for the bell every time they returned from a mission.

As a result, from morning until now, I haven't even managed to grab a bell.

None of the three of them could even touch it.

"Kakashi is no weakling; he just didn't take your strength seriously. Besides, that match was just a test to see if you could become Genin."

Hagoromo shook her head and said that she had not told Kakashi about Naruto and the others' strength during that assessment.

Otherwise, Naruto wouldn't have been able to snatch it so easily.

If they had an intelligence advantage, Kakashi, known as the Copy Ninja of Konoha, would have a whole host of ways to keep Naruto from getting close.

Most importantly, it was just a test, and it doesn't mean that Naruto could actually defeat Kakashi.

"However, your teamwork is getting smoother and smoother."

Watching her disciples' figures, Hagoromo didn't continue to belittle them; she still offered the necessary encouragement.

Compared to some smaller teams, Naruto and his Naruto are at least quite capable, and their teamwork is also excellent.

"Even if it's smooth, it's still no use; I still can't hit you, teacher."

Naruto sighed helplessly. This training wasn't like before, where Hagoromo would personally teach them moves.

Instead, they were genuinely suppressing them with absolute strength.

"This training is designed to help you improve as much as possible. Without pressure, you won't achieve the results I want."

Hagoromo waved her hand, looking at Naruto and the others with a serious expression.

"Teacher, is something the matter?" Sasuke frowned, looked up at Hagoromo, and asked.

Upon hearing Sasuke's question, Naruto and Hinata looked at Hagoromo with puzzled expressions.

"The Chunin Ninja Exams will be held in a few months."

Hagoromo didn't hide anything and directly stated her purpose.

"The Chunin Ninja Exams?!" Naruto jumped up, asking excitedly.

Sasuke and Hinata, on the other hand, lacked Naruto's naiveté; their own teacher had already warned them about the Chunin Ninja Exams beforehand.

But I've never been this serious before.

"Teacher, is there anything different about this exam?" Sasuke asked, somewhat uncertainly.

Hagoromo chuckled and nodded, saying, "Indeed, this Chunin Ninja Exams will be the grandest since the founding of all the major ninja villages."

"At that time, the Five Great Shinobi Villages and their various smaller ninja villages will participate together."

Naruto was dumbfounded. What was going on? The Chunin Ninja Exams, jointly organized by the Five Great Shinobi Villages? Then, Naruto was secretly delighted.

"That's awesome! If we defeat them, we'll instantly become the strongest among the younger generation!"

After saying that, Naruto turned to look at Sasuke and Hinata beside him.

Sasuke would definitely agree with this idea!

However, Sasuke, who was sitting on the ground, had a solemn expression, as did Hinata.

"Um, Sasuke, Hinata, what's wrong with you two?"

Naruto scratched the back of his head and asked.

"Don't be so naive, Dead Last student. The Chunin Ninja Exams the Five Great Shinobi Villages are definitely not that simple."

Sasuke shook his head, his expression not as relaxed as Naruto had imagined.

"Yes, Naruto-kun, at least our enemies might be geniuses from various ninja villages."

"And, the veteran Genin haven't been promoted in previous years."

Hinata also had a serious expression on her face, after all, she had almost never heard of Chunin this scale.

"Uh... is it really that exaggerated?" Naruto was speechless, because Sasuke and Hinata's expressions didn't look relaxed at all.

"Even the teachers require us to train, what do you think?" Sasuke glanced at Naruto and asked in return.

"Okay, there's no need to worry so much. The teacher is just trying to help you improve as much as possible."

Hagoromo Yi clapped her hands, indicating to her disciples that they didn't need to worry so much.

Being vigilant is a good thing, but one shouldn't belittle oneself too much, as this is not beneficial for cultivation.

"Over the next period, your teachers will assign you tasks within your capabilities."

"After all, no matter how much training you do, you still need real-world experience."

After Hagoromo finished speaking, she told Naruto and the other two to rest first, and then she began to think on her own.

Ninja battles are only possible in B-Rank Missions.

C-rank missions are usually just bandits or the like, but Naruto have only taken on two C-rank missions so far.

They are far from being qualified to take on B-Rank Missions, mainly because it is currently peacetime.

During wartime, there's no need to follow these rules.

Moreover, Hagoromo thought of the Hazy Moon Sage Mode, which was the training method that could bring substantial growth to Naruto and Sasuke in the short term.

"That fat cat hasn't shown up since it started absorbing the Seven-Tails 'Chakra. I wonder what it's up to."

Hagoromo stroked her chin, thinking that it would be more direct to ask Sansan about the checkpoints in the Sacred Land.
