Tenten the Demon Queen

Sasuke's efforts were richly rewarded.

Before graduation, he had mastered the Flame Style Kekkei Genkai. After hearing that he and Naruto Uzumaki had been assigned to Team 7, he confidently challenged Naruto Uzumaki again.

He wants to vie for the position of captain of the Team 7.

Instructing Jonin is only a temporary appointment as captain. Jonin always have their own affairs and more important responsibilities, and cannot take care of children year after year.

Therefore, each Jonin instructor will select one person from the Genin squad and consciously train them to take on the role of captain, serving as their leader after their departure.

When selecting team leaders, Jonin instructors prioritize choosing the strongest Genin.

That's why Uchiha Sasuke was holding back his ultimate move, intending to surprise Naruto Uzumaki when they were assigned to their final classes.

But as soon as the battle began, Sasuke, who was going all out, realized something was wrong; he was being suppressed by Naruto Uzumaki.

Naruto Uzumaki's attack speed was too fast; he could even outrun Sasuke's thrown Shuriken. At this terrifying speed, Sasuke had no chance to fight back.

Until he was finally and completely defeated, Sasuke never managed to touch Naruto Uzumaki.

What frustrated Uchiha Sasuke even more was that when he no longer desired victory and only wanted to hit Naruto once, he used [Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu].

The countless fiery feathers created by the Fire Release Ninjutsu were actually absorbed by Naruto Uzumaki using [Scorch Release: Red Wind Vortex] and sprayed into the sky.

Before launching the challenge, Sasuke anticipated that Naruto Uzumaki had already mastered the Kekkei Genkai.

After all, she learned how to cultivate Kekkei Genkai from the Fifth Hokage through the relationship between the Clan Leader Uchiha Izumi.

Naruto Uzumaki is Shazo's apprentice, so naturally he also trains his own Kekkei Genkai.

Based on Naruto's Chakra nature, Uchiha Sasuke even guessed that Naruto might possess the Swift Style Kekkei Genkai.

Among Naruto Uzumaki's Chakra attributes, Wind Style is the strongest, followed by Lightning Release. Coupled with his inherited speed Talent from his father Minato Namikaze, it's not surprising that he fused with the Swift Style Kekkei Genkai.

Therefore, Sasuke made many preparations in advance to deal with the attacks of the speedy Ninja.

However, he hadn't expected Naruto Uzumaki to be so fast, so fast that even his Sharingan couldn't see him clearly, rendering all his previous preparations meaningless.

But what he didn't expect was that Naruto Uzumaki had also mastered the Scorch Release Kekkei Genkai, quietly becoming Kekkei Genkai Ninja.

Uchiha Sasuke couldn't understand how Naruto Uzumaki hadn't even developed Fire Style Chakra, could fuse Fire Style Wind Style into a Scorch Release Kekkei Genkai.

To Sasuke's question, Naruto replied with a smile, "I don't have Fire Style Chakra, but Kurama does."

Uchiha Sasuke: "Huh?"

Naruto Uzumaki explained, "My Wind Style Chakra Nature Transformation, Kurama's Fire Style Chakra Nature Transformation, and when they merged together, they became Scorch Release Chakra."

"By working together, we guided the Scorch Release Chakra to circulate and flow within our bodies, constantly reflecting our bloodlines, and naturally, we succeeded."

"Haha, not only have I successfully mastered the Scorch Release of the Burning Wind direction, Kurama has also mastered the Scorch Release of the Burning Fire direction. A great success!"

Uchiha Sasuke stared in disbelief, muttering to himself, "So Tailed Beast can fuse to create new Kekkei Genkai?"

"Ha, ha, ha, this isn't a great success, this is outrageous!"

"What do you mean 'successful without effort'? Where's the 'natural' part? It's utterly perverted! Humans are perverted, the Nine-Tails is perverted, you're all perverts!"

Nine-Tails felt extremely smug upon hearing Uchiha Sasuke's words.

But then it immediately thought of Madara Uchiha from the surname Uchiha, the one-eyed Uchiha with a mask, the slap from Mito Uzumaki Hashirama Senju, the control from Kushina Uzumaki, and the devilish smile from the First Hokage Fifth Hokage Shazo.

Kurama Monkey shuddered and muttered, "You call me a pervert? You humans are the most terrifying monsters. Hairless Monkey are indeed the most terrifying."

Hearing Uchiha Sasuke's lament, Naruto Uzumaki patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Junior Brother Sha, your Talent is no less than mine. As long as you work twice as hard, you will become very strong too."

Uchiha Sasuke retorted, "Don't call me Junior Brother Sha!"

Naruto Uzumaki asked in surprise, "I've heard Big Brother Shazo call you that often, I thought you liked it—"

Uchiha Sasuke said weakly, "Naruto, you've heard the story of retrieving the treasure, how could you think I enjoy being called a useless coward?"

"And, Naruto, even when you were comforting me, you wouldn't say that I'd catch up to you—"

Sasuke was on the verge of tears, and Naruto Uzumaki quickly comforted him, taking a great deal of effort to calm him down.

In short, after taking that beating, Uchiha Sasuke temporarily submitted.

He honestly acknowledged Naruto Uzumaki's position as team leader and didn't cause any trouble when Team 7 was formed.

The next day, the rain stopped and the Uchiha Sasuke felt confident again.

So when Kakashi Hatake used the bell to test him, Sasuke unleashed his full power, using the Secret Technique [Flame Style: Flame Emperor Descends], nearly destroying the entire training ground and sending himself to the hospital.

This incident left a deep impression on Hayama Shirakumo, giving him great confidence in the potential of the new generation in Konoha.

The Fifth Hokage Shazo, also had absolute confidence, but his confidence was not that of Uchiha Sasuke, nor even Naruto Uzumaki.

Because Darui and Deidara both possess strength approaching Kage Level, and are also a few years older than Naruto Uzumaki, their overall levels are on the same scale.

If the three of them were to fight, their chances of winning would be about 50/50.

However, among the Konoha 12, there was another Genin whose strength far surpassed the other three, and that was Tenten.

Two years after the Fifth Hokage took office, an interesting phenomenon occurred in Konoha.

Aside from middle-aged and elderly Ninja over 40, the strength of Chunin Konoha is actually directly proportional to the closeness of their relationship with the Hokage.

In other words, the closer Ninja is to the Lord Hokage, the stronger they are individually.

Naruto Uzumaki was Shazo's disciple, so he was stronger than Uchiha Sasuke, who was separated from him by the Uchiha Izumi.

Among the 12 Konoha 12, Tenten and Shazo from Team 3 have a slightly closer relationship than Naruto Uzumaki.

You should know that Tenten calls Uchiha Izumi "older sister" without any prefix.

Of course, Tenten's incredible strength is also due to her amazing Talent.

In the original history, Tenten made a stunning appearance with China style, but her performance in battle was mediocre. Even her ultimate move, "Twin Dragons Rising," was nothing more than a chaotic and disorderly scattering of hidden weapons.

It can be said that it has neither beauty nor power; it is simply a collection of foolish and rich people.

Thus, after encountering Temari, the princess of Sunagakure, he suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Wind Release Ninjutsu, and from then on, he never recovered and withdrew from the front lines of battle.

This isn't because Tenten lacks ability; the blame should lie with the Third Hokage.

This top-tier "money power" lucky girl was assigned the role of mentor to the workaholic "Might Guy".

Might Duy was a man of unwavering will and immense strength. He nearly killed Six Paths Madara with a single kick, and as a mortal, he slew a god, making him one of the most remarkable Konoha Ninja.

But this guy is a total loser and Bad Luck. His natural traits are the complete opposite of Tenten's. Every bit of effort he puts in becomes an obstacle blocking Tenten's future.

Under the guidance of the goofy Might Guy, this China -style girl developed a muscular physique, but she didn't know any advanced Ninjutsu or throwing techniques, making her useless in actual combat.

But ever Tenten Shazo took a liking to her, her fate has changed dramatically.

In the beginning, Tenten only received proper Ninja training under the guidance of Shazo.

Tenten also spent her money wisely, such as buying the best medicinal herbs, the most suitable Ninjutsu scrolls, and the finest Ninja Tools. Once Tenten laid a solid foundation, her Chakra increased by more than double, and with her proficiency in Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and throwing techniques, her strength naturally improved.

But back then, Tenten could only catch up with Neji Hyuga and barely compete with him.

After Shazo obtained the "<Five Spirits Battle True Interpretation>", Tenten's strength underwent its first Nature Transformation.

By practicing the [Five Spirits Seed the Foundation] secret method, Tenten can slightly control her "strong luck". She is not usually so Luck, but when cultivating and fighting, she can be as if she has divine help and her wishes come true.

No matter how difficult the secret technique is to cultivate, one can achieve success in one Tenten after accumulating luck for several days.

For example, with the Boil Style Kekkei Genkai, Tenten completed the Chakra Nature Transformation and fusion of Kekkei Genkai in one go after accumulating three days of Luck.

From the initial Chakra Nature Transformation to the successful fusion, it only took ten minutes.

At that moment, Uchiha Izumi and Shazo, who were responsible for protecting her, were both stunned. The two powerful Ninja couldn't help but envy a student from a Ninja Academy.

Uchiha Izumi later secretly admitted to Shazo that she was not just envious at the time, but even felt a little jealous and wished she could take her place.

Tenten was able to use her luck at crucial moments, which allowed her strength to improve rapidly, quickly catching up with and surpassing Neji Hyuga.

From then on, the two began a fierce competition, vying for supremacy within the Ninja Academy, often engaging in intense sparring matches that escalated into real fights, sometimes resulting in injuries.

Some of the Hyuga Clan blood in Shazo Zuo's possession was obtained through Tenten during this period.

Tenten's strength underwent a second Nature Transformation after Shazo became the Fifth Hokage and went to Amegakure to Six Paths of Pain.

During that battle, the Fifth Hokage witnessed the Asura Path firsthand. Although he was dismissive of its method of manifesting high-tech weapons with Chakra, he easily figured out the secret of Chakra weapons.

Based on the principles of Pain's Asura Path's materialization of weapons, Shazo developed a complete set of Secret Technique and made significant adjustments to address the issue of insufficient Chakra, then handed them all over to Tenten.

From then on, the Ninja Tools she played with Tenten were no longer Kunai, Shuriken, Scythe, and chains. She also threw away all the strange things she had stored in her Sealing Scroll, such as explosives, flying bombs, and exploding Spider.

Tenten didn't even need the scroll anymore.

When the Fifth Hokage taught Tenten Secret Technique, he presented her with a grand Cultivation World in order to explain it thoroughly, which captivated her and Jonin tools.

In particular, the Sword Immortal described by Shazo, with his unstoppable sharp aura, made Tenten tremble from the depths of her soul.

She exclaimed, "No wonder the Lord Hokage never uses Ninja Tools or ninja way; there's such a glamorous profession!"

"Lord Hokage, I want to cultivate immortality!"

The girl's eyes lit up, and she shouted excitedly, "I want to be the number one Swordsmanship the Ninja World!"

"A mind as clear as a mirror, a sword strike without leaving a trace, a single blow is fatal, victory is assured from afar."

"Just thinking about it makes me feel so cool!"

It has to be said that cultivating immortality is a core concept deeply rooted in the soul of every Huaxia person. Tenten's words stirred Shazo's soul, and he agreed almost without thinking.

From that day on, Tenten began to transform into the Great Demon King of the Ninja Academy.

Under Shazo's guidance, and inspired by Orochimaru's Kusanagi Sword, Tenten Tian spent a fortune to forge swords to match her Secret Technique, including nine Flying Sword that could hold Chakra, as well as a sword case that could store Chakra.

The nine Flying Sword have no hilts and are made entirely of Chakra Metal. They can contain Tenten's Chakra and fly freely within a 300-meter range according to Tenten's will.

The sword case was made of even more precious materials, and it could absorb and store the Chakra that Tenten unintentionally emitted at any time, replenishing the Chakra the Flying Sword.

Tenten has fully mastered the Secret Technique, has a mysterious connection with the Flying Sword. She only needs to turn her thoughts and use Chakra to draw the corresponding Runes in her body to control the sword box to launch the long sword.

After the Flying Sword was launched, Tenten controlled Flying Sword with her own willpower.

In order to master the Flying Sword, he devoted a great deal of time and energy to practicing Tenten and night.

It took me three months to Tenten being completely unable to control the Flying Sword after Flying Sword was launched to being able to stumble and control it to fly back.

It took Tenten 45 days to go from Flying Sword swords at a speed comparable to Shuriken to being able to deflect six incoming Shuriken.

From controlling the Flying Sword to accelerate and strike like Inazuma, to maneuvering the Flying Sword nimbly like a swimming fish to launch circling attacks on the enemy, it took Tenten another 4 months.

Just before graduation, Tenten was finally able to control two Flying Sword and engage in the most precise battles outside the range of Ninjutsu.

Thus, Tenten transformed into the first "Sword Immortal" in the Ninja World.

Although she lacked Chakra and could only control two Flying Sword at the same time, she was still able to weave a dense sword net that left dozens of Ninja of the same age helpless.

This Flying Sword Secret Technique was so powerful that Shazo naturally wanted to promote it in Konoha, but the result was a complete failure.

When the finance department presented the total budget for the project to Shazo, the wealthy and powerful Fifth Hokage of Konoha felt dizzy and silently abandoned the idea of creating a second set.

Let alone forging another set of swords, even forging a Flying Sword made of Chakra Metal would be something the Lord Hokage couldn't bear to do.
