Passive Heart-Piercing Dragon Claw Hand

"Clang, clang, clang..."

The dull clang of metal against metal continued to echo. The intense battle between the two left the elite students from various grades mesmerized. Although it was difficult to keep up with their speed, they still cheered enthusiastically.

Compared to ninjas who wielded flashy ninjutsu, the clash between these straightforward taijutsu-focused ninjas was far more exhilarating.

Most importantly, that guy's battle suit was so cool; he really wanted one too!

Of course, as the saying goes, amateurs watch the fun, while professionals see the skill. Many elites from ninja clans could faintly discern some of the intricacies.

"That guy seems to be fighting with multiple things at once!"

The single tomoe in Mikoto Uchiha's beautiful eyes spun slowly. Using the powerful dynamic vision granted by the Sharingan, she could barely keep up with the exchange between the two. She also saw Shimura Kentei's fighting style and couldn't help but furrow her delicate brows.

"Mhm, he's at least multitasking four things!"

Nodding, Fugaku Uchiha's Sharingan also spun slowly, allowing him to see more clearly than Mikoto Uchiha.

"At least?"

Mikoto Uchiha turned her head, her gaze filled with confusion, not quite understanding the word "at least."

What did "at least" mean?

While continuing to watch the two fighting, Fugaku Uchiha explained, "His shield defense, greatsword thrusts, and the coordination of his wings are all different, and the control and coordination are extremely precise and perfect.

Besides that, there are also chakra threads spreading out, slightly affecting Tsunade-senpai's movements, though the application of the chakra thread technique is a bit rougher.

It's clear that he can only achieve precise control over four things at once; any more and he'll be overwhelmed.

As the top genius of the younger generation in the Uchiha clan, Fugaku Uchiha's eyesight was naturally excellent. Coupled with the powerful dynamic vision of his three-tomoe Sharingan, he could see Shimura Kentei's combat state with perfect clarity.

However, the doubts in his heart grew deeper.

"How did that kid cultivate this kind of physical fitness?"

He was well aware of the weight of that magnificent battle suit. The pressure of wearing a one-ton suit was unimaginable. Even a taijutsu-specializing Chunin would find it difficult to bear, let alone fight.

Yet, that kid could fight freely. Although he wasn't making grand movements, mostly just using his arms, it was still very impressive.

Even though that kind of ninjutsu, similar to the Monster Strength Technique, could enhance physical strength, any enhancement was based on a foundation of physical fitness.

Clearly, that kid's physical fitness was very strong. But according to the information he had, the other party was still two months away from turning thirteen. To cultivate such powerful physical fitness at such a young age, it felt like he wasn't inferior to himself.

How did that kid achieve this?

It wasn't just Fugaku Uchiha who was perplexed; Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others on the viewing platform were also quite puzzled.

"Does that kid have the bloodline of your Senju clan?"

Honoka Uchiha couldn't help but ask. This kind of physical fitness didn't seem like it belonged to the Shimura clan at all; it was more like the Senju clan. And even within the Senju clan, it was rare for someone to cultivate such physical fitness before the age of thirteen.

Senju Tōsu didn't speak, but his brow was slightly furrowed as he considered this possibility.

He was quite sure that Shimura Kentei was definitely not from his family, but he couldn't be sure if the other party possessed the Senju bloodline. After all, there were many instances of women from their clan marrying out. It was possible that the ancestors of the Shimura clan had married women from their Senju clan, thus passing down this bloodline.

Thinking of this, Senju Tōsu's gaze towards Shimura Kentei became even more amiable. He was even contemplating finding an opportunity to have the boy formally acknowledge his ancestors and see if there was a chance to obtain that ninjutsu.

Besides that, Senju Tōsu was puzzled as to how Shimura Kentei possessed such rich combat experience, as if he had been through countless battles.

Under everyone's gaze, Shimura Kentei's battle with Tsunade lasted for a full minute. During this time, even though Shimura Kentei had taken the specially made soldier pills, his chakra was almost completely depleted.

"Tsunade-sensei, I concede!"

He quickly put down the greatsword in his hand, raising his palm to signal his surrender, while breathing heavily. His muscles and bones were aching and spasming.

He had reached his limit!

However, the scene suddenly fell silent. Everyone stared blankly at the two on the training ground, their faces filled with disbelief. Shimura Kentei also felt that something was wrong.

Feeling the touch on his palm, he instinctively squeezed it. That familiar sensation made him suddenly look up and realize that his palm had stopped right at Tsunade's chest.

If she were a man, it would be fine, but she was a woman, which was very taboo, especially in such a public place.

"Gulp!"

Sensing the murderous gaze, Shimura Kentei swallowed and chuckled dryly, "Tsunade-sensei, this was an accident. You have to believe me!"

"Believe you my foot!"

Fine blue veins pulsed on her fair forehead as Tsunade, her anger surging, immediately threw a punch. She struck the inner shield that Shimura Kentei had hastily raised.

"Clang!"

A deafening metallic collision echoed. Tsunade's punch almost caved in the inner shield. Then, the immense force was transmitted downwards, not only smashing Shimura Kentei's entire body into the ground but also causing the ground within a radius of tens of meters to shatter.

This showed how terrifying that punch was!

"Lady Tsunade is so scary!"

"Too violent? Is she really a woman?"

"No wonder she doesn't have a boyfriend at this age!"

This scene caused the faces of the ninja academy students gathered around the training ground to turn pale. Would they also have to undergo such assessments from their lead teachers after graduation?

"Tsunade, you're being too reckless!"

Senju Tōsu, the first to arrive, glared at his niece before intending to pull Shimura Kentei, who had been smashed deep into the ground, out. However, upon considering the guy's problematic Battle Suit, he paused.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others who arrived shortly after were also at a loss. They eventually found some tough steel wire ropes, and only then managed to pull Shimura Kentei out.

"It's a good thing he wasn't smashed to death!"

Tsunade sensed him briefly and, seeing that Shimura Kentei was still alive, uttered a harsh remark, feeling extremely annoyed.

She hadn't expected Shimura Kentei to raise his hand and surrender, essentially crashing his own chest into the guy's palm. It was utterly humiliating.

What was most infuriating was that the little pervert had also pinched her. How could she tolerate that?

Just as she was preparing to leave, her ankle was suddenly ensnared by a Chakra Thread, and a weak voice followed.

"Teacher Tsunade, I think I can still be saved!"

After saying this with difficulty, Shimura Kentei couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of blood.

He was in a truly miserable state; more than half of his bones were shattered by that punch, especially his shield-wielding arms, which were nearly pulverized.

With injuries like these, if Tsunade didn't intervene, he would be bedridden for at least a year or two, and it was uncertain if there would be any lingering effects.

"Hmph! You might as well just die peacefully!"

Tsunade snorted coldly, having no intention of healing the little pervert. Did he really think she had no temper?

"Ten million Ryo!"

The voice that came again made Tsunade pause, but she continued to walk away resolutely.

"One hundred million Ryo!"

"I guarantee you'll be fully recovered within a week!"

Turning back, Tsunade promised with a smile.

She couldn't refuse such an exorbitant price of one hundred million Ryo!

"(￣△￣;)"

Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others were speechless. They hadn't expected Tsunade to have such an unprincipled side; it was truly astonishing.

Tsunade didn't have the mood to deal with their strange gazes. She scanned Shimura Kentei with her bright eyes and frowned, "How do we take off this Battle Suit of yours?"

Medical Ninjutsu also used chakra. If the Battle Suit wasn't removed, she couldn't treat him at all; she could barely even get close.

After looking for just a moment, she couldn't find any clasps.

"Kaka kaka..."

A faint clicking sound emerged as Shimura Kentei unfastened the internal clasps with Chakra Threads, and his armor trembled slightly.

Understanding, Tsunade used her massive samurai sword to pry off the outer armor pieces one by one, then lifted Shimura Kentei's entire body out of the unfastened inner armor.

"Kid, you've got a pretty good physique!"

After examining Shimura Kentei, who was covered in a layer of Venom Suit, Tsunade couldn't help but tease him.

She hadn't paid much attention in the hot spring bath last time, but now she saw that the kid's physique was practically perfect – muscular but not bulky, with every muscle line exquisitely defined.

Shimura Kentei controlled the Venom Suit on his skin to retract and adhere to his back, revealing his tragic body. His arms, in particular, hung limply like noodles, clearly indicating that the bones within were completely shattered.

Tsunade's full power was indeed extraordinary!

"What is this thing?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen became interested in Shimura Kentei's Venom Suit, vaguely guessing its function.

"Hurry and take Kentei to the hospital."

At this moment, Shimura Keiko arrived with several members of the Shimura Clan. They carefully carried Shimura Kentei on a stretcher they had brought, heading towards the Konoha Hospital for treatment.

She had anticipated that today's assessment wouldn't be easy and had prepared a stretcher in advance.

Tsunade naturally followed quickly, after all, it was a hundred million Ryo deal.

"Are novels really that profitable?"

Stroking his chin, Senju Tōsu pondered whether he should also find some writers to write novels.

Shimura Kentei's display of wealth, dropping one hundred million Ryo, had deeply shocked him. Although his Senju Clan was wealthy and not lacking money, that was the entire clan's fortune. His personal assets as clan head were very limited.

And Shimura Kentei had thrown out one hundred million Ryo without batting an eye. This kind of extravagance made him envious.

Not only Senju Tōsu had this idea, but Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others also began to consider it.

Although ninjas received compensation for missions, their expenses were also high. Various ninja tools, medicines, and other consumables represented considerable costs.

Furthermore, over ninety percent of the wealth in this world was held by nobles and wealthy merchants. In terms of riches, the combined liquid assets of all the ninja clans in Konoha couldn't match the treasury of a single great noble in the Daimyo's mansion.

After all, while ninjas made money, their expenses were also high, making it difficult to accumulate much savings.

In this light, being a ninja seemed to have very little financial prospect!

The few exchanged glances and, with tacit understanding, headed to the Hokage's office to discuss matters of getting rich, seeing if they could quickly come up with a five-year plan or something similar.

Meanwhile, the remaining Shimura clan members pushed a cart, using pre-prepared hooks to snag the components of Shimura Kentei's Battle Suit onto the cart one by one. They even dragged back the outer shield that had been thrown out earlier, intending to take everything back to the clan.

After all, these items were quite expensive, so they couldn't be left lying around.

"Uncle, let me try!"

At this moment, Mikoto Uchiha quickly walked over and requested from the Shimura clan member who was dragging the heavy outer shield.

She wanted to see how big the gap was between herself and that scoundrel.

After looking at Mikoto Uchiha, the Shimura clan member fell silent for a moment and handed over the nearly two-meter-long iron hook in his hand.

Taking the iron hook, Mikoto Uchiha gave a strong pull, but the outer shield didn't budge. She then circulated her chakra to enhance her physical strength and pulled again.

This time, the outer shield moved, but only slightly. This left her both shocked and disappointed.

"Don't be discouraged. Your innate talent lies in ninjutsu and genjutsu, and you're only nine years old this year. Your body hasn't fully developed yet.

Besides, that kid barely lifted this shield during the previous battle; the bottom of the shield was always stuck in the ground. It's clear he also had difficulty wielding this thing with ease."

Fugaku Uchiha, who was following behind, spoke to comfort her. He had watched the previous battle very clearly and knew that even Shimura Kentei couldn't truly wield this shield, meaning he had taken a shortcut.

"Mikoto!"

At this moment, Senju Nawaki and Hyuga Suzune, who had just dealt with Tsunade's Shadow Clone, walked over in a disheveled state. Upon seeing Mikoto Uchiha, Senju Nawaki excitedly called out to her. Following behind Hyuga Suzune were two boys with Byakugan.

Seeing the Byakugan boy who was not wearing a Konoha forehead protector, Fugaku Uchiha stared intently, his Three Tomoe Sharingan even appearing.
