"What?"

"Yes!"

Obito was still in shock, but Shisui had already accepted without hesitation.

Immediately after.

Shisui took out a kunai, looked at Obito, and made a gesture.

This was an Uchiha's secret signal for communication.

Obito froze for a moment.

This kid from the clan...

He's really serious!

His expression turned serious, he nodded lightly, and then quickly pulled out a shuriken and threw it at Kyoichi.

This kid, apart from occasionally messing around and being late, and not having awakened his Sharingan, his performance in other aspects was quite good. With his unremitting efforts, his shuriken manipulation technique was very strong.

More than a dozen shuriken flew from multiple angles, blocking all of Kyoichi's escape routes.

However.

Kyoichi formed hand seals, and a clone appeared.

The next moment...

Two figures began to dodge the shuriken at high speed.

The true body and the clone moved differently, but their actions to dodge the shuriken were both perfect, and not a single shuriken hit.

Shisui looked for an opportunity from the side, but Kyoichi's clone had no openings, making it impossible to distinguish.

Moreover.

Kyoichi was very fast!

Is this Chunin-level strength?

He was shocked in his heart.

"Aren't you going to attack? Then it's my turn!"

Kyoichi smiled and then quickly charged at Obito.

Gotta deal with this one first!

On the way, the true body and the clone were one in front and one behind.

Two shuriken were thrown.

Obito quickly retreated, formed hand seals, and then spat out...

A fireball engulfed Kyoichi's figure.

Great Fireball Technique!

"Obito!"

Rin was startled.

This kid is too reckless, using a ninjutsu of this level in a match like this.

However.

The next moment, she realized her worry was unnecessary.

From within the fireball, Kyoichi rushed out rapidly.

"It's a clone!"

Shisui understood.

But.

Where's the real body?

His gaze swept across the entire area, and his breath hitched. He quickly shouted, "Obito, be careful!"

Obito looked confused.

Careful?

Careful of what? It's a clone.

The next moment, Shisui formed hand seals and used the Body Flicker Technique to appear beside Obito.

He drew his kunai and struck at the shuriken that had deviated from its course.

The shuriken took shape, transforming back into Kyoichi's appearance.

But.

Bang~

A kick.

Shisui was kicked away.

As Obito was about to make a move, he felt a chill on his neck.

A kunai!

"On the battlefield, you are already dead."

Kyoichi said calmly.

Obito was not weak, but unfortunately, he lacked quick thinking at this stage.

Of course.

Most children were similar.

The strongest here was probably only Shisui.

That Body Flicker Technique...

As expected of the future Body Flicker Shisui!

The onlooker sees more than the player.

Obito didn't know what was happening, but others could see clearly—Kyoichi only threw two kunai before Obito released his Great Fireball Technique.

However.

There was an extra kunai after the Great Fireball.

Clearly, Kyoichi used the Substitution Technique to dodge, switch places, and then use the Transformation Jutsu to disguise himself as a kunai.

What made it so impressive was—

Kyoichi's speed was incredible, almost seamless.

"So amazing."

Rin's eyes widened.

"Is this teacher... really just a Chunin?"

Kurenai Yuhi was astonished in her heart.

If Shisui hadn't noticed, Obito might have been killed instantly.

This teacher was definitely not an ordinary Chunin.

An elite Chunin.

Or even comparable to a Jonin.

And.

His Three Body Techniques were so powerful!

Even his father might not be as good...

Someone of this caliber is teaching them at the Ninja Academy?

She found it incredible!

"Now, do any of you still think the Three Body Techniques are useless? I haven't even used Shadow Clones yet; otherwise, adding Shadow Clones would allow for even more variations."

As Kyoichi spoke, he threw a smoke bomb.

When the smoke cleared, over a dozen clones appeared inside.

"Guess which ones are Shadow Clones and which ones are regular clones?"

"If you had the Sharingan..."

Obito trailed off, not daring to finish.

Sharingan were rare.

Not everyone in the clan awakened them, and in the entire Ninja World, only the Uchiha clan of Konoha possessed them.

Besides the Sharingan and the Byakugan, only a few sensory ninjutsu could distinguish between clones and Shadow Clones, but the probability of encountering such an enemy was very low.

Most of the time, this tactic was effective.

"So, you guys are still too young and too naive. Study hard. Today's lesson is still on the Three Body Techniques."

"Who agrees? Who opposes?"

Kyoichi's gaze swept over them.

No one dared to speak.

Obito might be the dead last in theory, but his combat skills were not weak. Although Shisui was young, his strength was considerable, and he was likely to meet the requirements for early graduation this year.

In fact.

Shisui himself thought so.

He didn't believe he could learn much from the Ninja Academy and planned to graduate early and leave this year.

However.

Kyoichi's arrival made him feel different.

Without using any other ninjutsu, relying solely on a simple combination of the Three Body Techniques and taijutsu, he and Obito were quickly countered and "killed." Such strength...

He's only a Chunin?

So I'm still too weak.

Facts proved that the saying "new officials light three fires" was effective. With one display of deterrence, no one had any further objections to Kyoichi's lessons; everyone listened attentively.

Konoha office.

"Third Hokage-sama."

"Sit."

The Third Hokage was smoking, with a crystal ball on the desk in front of him.

Shikaku Nara entered.

"Shikaku, how much do you know about this child, Kyoichi?"

"Kyoichi?"

Shikaku glanced over and noticed that the crystal ball was showing a scene of Kyoichi training children.

However.

After a few glances, he was secretly surprised.

Such amazing Three Body Techniques!

Not just solid.

The hand seals were so fast they were almost invisible, and the coordination of the Three Body Techniques was perfected.

Although there seemed to be many openings on the training ground, if combined with smoke bombs, ninjutsu, and Shadow Clones, Kyoichi could survive on the battlefield with just the Three Body Techniques.

Not only that.

This kid's taijutsu is also very strong.

He's only a Chunin?

No.

Shikaku recalled the information about Kyoichi in his mind.

He wasn't this strong before. His taijutsu was excellent, but not as formidable as shown in the image.

"Third Hokage-sama, I remember Kanda Kyoichi's grandmother was from the Senju clan..."

"Are you saying he might have awakened the Senju bloodline?"

The Third Hokage's smoking paused.

The Senju clan.

It was possible.

The Senju bloodline was very powerful. The Second Hokage's chakra and physique were naturally superior to ordinary people.

Moreover.

Life-or-death battles often stimulate potential.

The pipe tapped rhythmically on the table.

The Third Hokage remained silent, pondering for a long time before smiling and saying, "It's a shame Tsunade isn't here. She'd be very happy to hear this news."

"Yes."

Shikaku didn't elaborate on the topic.

He looked at the crystal ball, observed for a while, and then said, "Sir, I believe Kanda Kyoichi's strength can at least be rated as Special Jonin."

"His contributions are insufficient, and a rash promotion would be inappropriate."

The Third Hokage shook his head.

Shikaku nodded upon hearing this and said no more.

"Alright, you may go."

"Yes!"

Shikaku left.

The Third Hokage sat in his seat, not smoking, letting the tobacco burn, appearing preoccupied.

After a long while.

He tapped a few times.

Soon, an Anbu member appeared.

"Have someone keep an eye on Tsunade's whereabouts. If you encounter her, tell her the news that Kanda Kyoichi may have awakened the Senju bloodline and ask if she's willing to return to the village for a visit."

"Yes!"
