Discussion

"It's no use. Now that we're close, I'll show you the power of the Hyuga Clan. Gentle Fist Style: Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms!" Hyuga Akiha assumed the Gentle Fist Style starting stance, channeling all his chakra into his hands.

"Two strikes!" The two pressure point strikes of the Gentle Fist landed directly on Shuichi's body.

"BOOM!"

"What?!" Hyuga Akiha froze, her eyes filled with disbelief. "Shadow Clone? How is that possible? Even if they used Shadow Clone, my Byakugan could see the chakra flow. There should be two of them. How could the real body not be in my sight?"

At that moment, two hands burst from the ground and grabbed her feet. "Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique!"

"Ah!" Hyuga Akiha's entire body was pulled into the ground, and then a Kunai was stuck in the ground in front of her.

Hyuga Akiha, with only her head showing, looked up at Shuichi in front of her, still unable to understand why she had hit Shadow Clone. "When did your real body hide underground?"

"Yes, it was just when you blocked my Kunai with your Gentle Fist." Shuichi answered her question.

Hyuga Akiha's eyes widened in disbelief, while Sarutobi Kohei nearby, was stunned when he finally realized what was happening.

"After releasing the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique, taking advantage of the moment when I rolled and dodged and Akiha blocked the Kunai and turned to the side, he quickly completed a Shadow Clone Jutsu and an Earth Release Ninjutsu, and his main body hid underground. Even the Byakugan couldn't detect any flaws." Sarutobi Kohei thought to himself about Shuichi's series of actions.

"And this Shadow Clone's chakra reserves are so high that he can use Water Wall to block my Phoenix Sage Fire Technique. He doesn't seem tired at all. His chakra reserves for his age are ridiculously high." Sarutobi Kohei gasped. What kind of monster is this? Is this the disciple of the Sannin?

According to some records from their family, even the most outstanding ninjas of Shuichi's age would have very little chakra left after using Ninjutsu like the Water Wall Technique.

Hyuga Akiha was still stuck in the ground, could perceive the chakra more directly because of his Byakugan. Shuichi body because his Byakugan could see the amount of chakra contained in each person's meridian system.

Even Shuichi the chakra consumed in his previous battles with them, the amount of chakra that Shuichi generated in the short period of time was astonishing.

First, Shadow Clone Jutsu with a large amount of chakra was released. This Shadow Clone could retain some chakra even after using the Water Wall to deceive the opponent.

At the same time, the main body used the divided chakra to perform two Earth Release, and a large portion of it remained.

Therefore, after Shuichi explained his methods, Sarutobi Kohei Hyuga Akiha were both extremely shocked.

In the brief moment their vision shifted, Shuichi instantly extracted an astonishing amount of chakra, and then used terrifying chakra control skills to release multiple Ninjutsu in a short period of time.

"Well, shall we continue?" Shuichi asked Sarutobi Kohei not far away.

"No, Captain, this is completely unwinnable." Sarutobi Kohei was utterly defeated. Putting aside their Ninjutsu skills, the two of them, who were four or five years older than Shuichi, were completely outmatched in all aspects of chakra fundamentals. They were starting to question their existence, and continuing to fight was utterly pointless.

Shuichi stopped releasing chakra into the ground, Hyuga Akiha struggled to get up from the soil. His arrogant expression had disappeared. It seems that no matter where you are in the Shinobi World, in the end, strength speaks for itself.

After witnessing Shuichi's strength, Sarutobi Kohei Hyuga Akiha walked over and stood facing him. The three of them talked about the Chunin Ninja Exams two months later.

"You're all from ninja clans, so I think you should all know the process of the Chunin Ninja Exams," Shuichi said first.

"Yes, Captain. The Chunin Ninja Exams the village are slightly different every year, but the test items are roughly the same," Sarutobi Kohei replied. "But as far as I know, the scale of this year 'Chunin Ninja Exams is completely different from the past. It's possible that, apart from the final individual battle, the written test and the second team battle will undergo significant changes."

"It's said that by the third round, the Daimyo and leaders of various ninja villages will come to Konoha to watch," Hyuga Akiha continued. "So the elimination rate and difficulty of the first two rounds will be quite astonishing, just to let them see exciting individual battles."

"Yes, I've considered all of that." Shuichi had carefully reviewed the Chunin Ninja Exams plot from the original manga beforehand.

If nothing unexpected happens, the first two exams will be much more difficult than I remember, because the Second Great Ninja War has not ended for long, and each village can send ninjas who have seen blood. Also, the importance attached to this first exam will far exceed that of more than ten years later.

"The first hurdle is the written test. I don't think it should be too difficult."

"If the questions are extremely difficult, then they will definitely need to test intelligence gathering methods. I will use snakes to pass information between us, Akiha's Byakugan will be responsible for collecting all the intelligence. I believe passing will be no problem at all."

With the Byakugan as a cheat code, intelligence gathering is incredibly easy; the proctors from Konoha's home field certainly won't step in to stop them.

"To ensure everything goes perfectly, let's prepare another set of codes." Shuichi's preparations were thorough; he handed over his complete list of team codes to the two of them.

"Then the key lies in the second stage." That's obvious, Shuichi added, "This stage will inevitably eliminate a considerable number of people, and the mortality rate will definitely be high."

"We don't know the skill level of the experts sent by each village, but there will definitely be no one we can't defeat," Shuichi said confidently. "The stronger Jonin in each village are all well-known figures. Even if we encounter an opponent at the Chunin or even Special Jonin level, I can guarantee they won't fare well against me."

Currently, the ninjas from other villages don't possess Orochimaru's abnormal disguise techniques, and Konoha has information on the slightly more well-known strong ninjas.

Therefore, even if each village is a bit shameless, sending a powerful Chunin is already the bottom line. If Konoha catches a Jonin a test taker on the spot, that would be a huge loss, equivalent to losing face in front of everyone.

Sarutobi Kohei Hyuga Akiha didn't think Shuichi was joking. They had both personally experienced Shuichi's strength and didn't know how many more tricks he had up his sleeve.

"The location should still be in the Forest of Death, I believe you're quite familiar with it." Shuichi felt there shouldn't be any major problems. "We'll follow the exam rules then. Akiha, you can prepare some items to cover your Byakugan, and use Byakugan to gather information about your opponents before entering the Forest of Death."

The three of them had a general plan for how to approach the Joint Chunin Exam, but they didn't mention the third stage.

If the Third Hokage wants Shuichi to participate, then he will definitely advance straight to the end, while the other two will probably have to assess their own abilities.
