Telescope Technique

An hour passed in a flash. Ootani Yuuto led the group of students to another designated battleground, where older students from the ninja academy had been waiting for a long time. Disciples from ninja clans such as the Senju, Hyuga, Uchiha, Nara, Yamanaka, Akimichi, Aburame, and Inuzuka were among them...

"So these are the cute little freshmen, huh? Makes you just want to beat them up!"

A young boy holding a brown puppy rubbed his nose and spoke excitedly. When he first entered the ninja academy, he was also severely 'taught' a lesson by the older students. Now that the roles were reversed, he naturally had to give these cute little freshmen a 'profound' memory.

"Don't underestimate them. This year's class has 'geniuses' from both the Hyuga and Uchiha clans, and that girl's ability is also unusual..."

The speaker was a senior student. Although he was now an upperclassman at the ninja academy, compared to the ninja clan disciples, he was not only mediocre in talent, but also came from a commoner family. Therefore, his strength was at the bottom among his peers. It was precisely because of this that he was sent ahead of time to collect information on these first-year ninja academy students. In the process of collecting information, he naturally noticed Hyuga Yuzuru and Uchiha Akihime, two geniuses from Konoha's prestigious clans. What surprised him the most was Hanakei Kaede's ability, which resembled a 'shadow secret technique'...

"I want to make it clear in advance that the girl is not using my clan's 'Shadow Release'!"

Nara Zentaro quickly interjected. After his observation and analysis, he was very sure that Hanakei Kaede's 'Shadow Release' was not his family's 'shadow secret technique'. After all, when the Nara Clan uses 'Shadow Release', it requires hand seals and a specific chakra circulation path, but Hanakei Kaede's operation seemed to be 'summoned at will', which was a bit like a Kekkei Genkai such as 'Dead Bone Pulse'.

"Hehe, who can say for sure about this kind of thing?"

Inuzuka Gouichi revealed a knowing smile, his expression looking extremely wretched. His words immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding peers, and the suspicious gazes made Nara Zentaro feel bitter.

"They're here!"

Aburame Hotaru, wearing a high-collared windbreaker and dark glasses, suddenly spoke, shifting everyone's attention away from Zentaro.

Senju Nawaki, Hyuga Hiashi, the Hizashi brothers, and Uchiha Mikoto, and other senior students, all looked towards Hyuga Yuzuru, Uchiha Akihime, and Hanakei Kaede. After all, among this year's freshmen, only the three of them were the biggest opponents, and the rest of the younger students were not worth mentioning.

This low- and high-grade battle looked like a crushing battle with a huge disparity in strength, but if they really messed up, they would ruin their reputation. As disciples of Konoha's well-known ninja clans, they didn't want to lose face in front of the various families...

In the ninja academy's principal's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi was sitting in the principal's chair, with his three disciples standing beside him: Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade.

At this moment, the four of them were staring at a crystal-clear sphere on the desk, which was broadcasting the real-time practical exercises of this year's freshmen. Whether it was the previous shuriken throwing or the later wonderful two-person battles, they had seen everything. Now they were even more looking forward to the upcoming low- and high-grade two-person battle...

"The old man's [Telescope Technique] is really a convenient ninjutsu for 'peeping'. If I learn this ninjutsu, I can definitely collect information and 'gather material' better..."

A young man with white hair and a forehead protector with the word 'oil' suddenly spoke, causing the serious-looking Hiruzen Sarutobi's mouth to twitch.

The pale-faced young man with a gloomy aura also glanced speechlessly at the 'idiot' beside him. Was this the time to discuss this topic? Didn't he feel the 'killing intent' emanating from next to him?

As expected, a 'sandbag-sized' fist accurately landed on the white-haired youth's head, and then he really slammed into the wall of the office like a sandbag, and the whole room shook as if there was an earthquake...

"Sarutobi-sensei, I told you not to teach this ninjutsu to this idiot!"

The blonde ponytail girl with a '#' mark on her forehead didn't care about the white-haired man's life or death at all, but instead said this to Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was sitting in the principal's chair.

"Well, this ninjutsu is indeed not suitable for him, so I never had the idea of teaching him this ninjutsu."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, speaking seriously, but in his heart, he felt a trace of sympathy for his disciple Jiraiya.

"Cough cough, it's starting!"

Afterwards, Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed and then spoke seriously to Orochimaru and Tsunade, as for Jiraiya, who was stuck to the wall in an inverted figure-eight shape, there was no need to pay attention to him.

"Tsunade, your younger brother is in the first match."

A slightly hoarse and gloomy voice came from Orochimaru's throat, his snake-like vertical pupils filled with anticipation. As Tsunade's companion, her younger brother Nawaki had long been earmarked to become his disciple. As long as he graduated, he could officially become his guiding teacher. This was the reason why Orochimaru was so expectant. He wanted to see how much ninja talent Nawaki could show at this age.

Tsunade didn't reply, but instead frowned, because she saw that Nawaki's opponent was actually that Uchiha genius girl.

"Old man, you're rigging the game again. How could my brother be that Uchiha's opponent?"

Seeing Nawaki and Akeshi entering the battle arena at Ootani Yuuto's suggestion, Tsunade couldn't help but complain to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Uh... this was all done by that guy Ootani Yuuto, it's none of my business!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't want to take the blame for something he didn't do, so he explained to Tsunade, who had a resentful look on her face.

"Hmph!"

Tsunade snorted in dissatisfaction, and then looked at the crystal ball with a worried expression, looking completely focused.

On the battlefield.

Uchiha Akihime looked at the senior in front of her, a look of appraisal and thought on her face. Was this ordinary-looking guy a member of the First Hokage's clan?

Similarly, Nawaki was obviously sizing up Uchiha Akihime, but many beautiful future scenes popped up in his head out of nowhere, such as defeating Uchiha Akihime, who had the name of 'genius', and then being praised by his sister and Orochimaru-sensei...

"Hey! You from the Senju Clan, what are you grinning at?"

Akeshi frowned. She didn't understand how this seemingly silly senior could be from the Senju Clan. Did he not even have a sense of battle? He was still showing an idiotic smile during the battle?
