Kotetsu Hagane strode forward and met Izumo Kamizuki as he returned. The two exchanged smiles and lightly bumped fists.
"Izumo, I've succeeded. Now it's up to you." Uncontainable joy covered Izumo Kamizuki's face.
Even now, recalling the battle just now made him want to cheer for himself.
As a First Grade student, he had defeated a Fourth Grade student, calmly seeking an opportunity while at a disadvantage and taking down his enemy in a single strike. It was simply too ninja-like.
Izumo Kamizuki believed the Third Hokage would definitely remember the name Izumo Kamizuki.
What a shame I couldn't spread the fame of Big Brother Ebisu, Izumo Kamizuki thought regretfully.

Izumo Kamizuki thought Ebisu was good in every way, except he was too low-key and unwilling to let others know how capable he was.
After watching Kotetsu Hagane's battle for a while, Hiruzen Sarutobi had already formed a rough judgment of the results of this special training.
The special training had indeed brought the students considerable improvement. Students who had scored fifteen points before the training could achieve a respectable score of twenty-four afterward, while First Grade students like Izumo Kamizuki had gained the strength to contend with upperclassmen.
Setting aside the Ninjutsu that had piqued his curiosity, Izumo Kamizuki's performance in every aspect far exceeded what a First Grade student should have been capable of. Kotetsu Hagane in this match possessed roughly the same strength.

"Deception Technique!"
Several scantily clad older sisters instantly
