With another Body Flicker Technique, Senga arrived in front of the testing device.
This move left everyone at the testing grounds dumbfounded. That speed alone made Senga the center of attention, and the examiner's eyes widened in shock.
"That speed? Shave? Where did he learn it?" What shocked the examiner was that Senga's Instant Transmission move looked far too much like Shave from the Marine Six Styles.
"May I begin?" Ignoring the reactions around him, Senga asked the examiner.
"Ah, yes. Begin when you're ready, Uchiha Senga."
Having received permission to begin, Senga closed his eyes. To put it plainly, Douri was tied to physical strength, and to maximize his body's power, Senga intended to use the Sage Mode he had learned in the world of Naruto.
Senga's Sage Mode came from Ryūchi Cave. During his time outside Konoha, he had stayed with Orochimaru, who guided him to Ryūchi Cave to learn its Sage Mode. He had even made breakthroughs based on Ryūchi Cave's Sage Mode and begun evolving toward a dragon.
In Sage Mode, Senga's physical abilities and perception were greatly enhanced. Even the power of his ninjutsu and Rinnegan Dojutsu increased severalfold.
When he opened his eyes again, pale violet eyeshadow appeared on Senga's face, making his purple Rinnegan seem even deeper. His entire aura underwent a heaven-shaking transformation, as though he had merged with the surrounding environment.
Natural energy frantically gathered in Senga's right hand. He assumed a charging stance and murmured in a low voice,
"Sage Art: Dragon Fist."
There was no grand display. What looked like an ordinary straight punch struck the testing device.
"Boom!" A deafening explosion followed, and sand and dust filled the entire grounds as the testing device flew out of the smoke.
With a bang, the testing device hit the ground. The examiner hurried forward to inspect it. The device, made of Seastone, was now covered in dense cracks. Fortunately, its display remained intact because Senga had deliberately protected it.
One look at the number on the display left the examiner frozen. After a long while, he shakily read out the number.
"7... 7200! Uchiha Senga's score is 7200!"
He nearly shouted the rest at the top of his lungs, and the entire testing grounds instantly erupted!
"7200? What kind of number is that? Even some high-ranking officers couldn't reach it!"
"Is the testing device broken? How is that possible?"
"Idiot! Didn't you see what happened to the device? It's made of Seastone!"
The trainees who had remained at the grounds heatedly discussed Senga's performance.
Whoosh! Hearing such a huge commotion from outside, Gion thought some emergency had occurred and immediately used Shave to rush into the grounds.
She found the somewhat dazed examiner and asked what had happened.
When the examiner saw Vice Admiral Gion, he quickly explained the situation. Gion wore an equally disbelieving expression after hearing it, staring in astonishment at Senga, who was still standing in the middle of the grounds.
By then, Senga had already exited Sage Mode. Seeing Gion enter, he walked over and said to her with a smile,
"Sister Gion, I didn't let you down. My score should be pretty good."
You call this pretty good? Stop humblebragging already, Gion complained inwardly.
She gained a new understanding of this newly recognized little brother, Senga. He was a true master of humblebragging.
Gion gave Senga a deep look. She knew that with the score he had achieved this time, many people at Headquarters would be unable to sit still.
Sure enough, news of Senga's score soon reached the upper ranks.
Sengoku had been bickering affectionately with his old friend Garp in his office when he received news from the Training Camp. After reading it, he froze in his seat, not even noticing that he had been hit by a "love booger."
Garp looked at his old friend in confusion, unable to understand why Sengoku had suddenly gone blank.
Sengoku abruptly turned his head toward Garp, startling Garp into jumping off the sofa. Just as Garp thought Sengoku was about to retaliate for that love booger, Sengoku slowly said,
"Uchiha Senga scored 7200 in the Douri test."
"Nani?" Even the normally carefree Garp could hardly keep it together at that score.
His playful expression vanished as Garp looked at Sengoku and said seriously, "Sengoku, you really found a monster for the Marines this time!"
Sengoku nodded in full agreement, wondering what expression Zephyr would have when he learned the news.
