Hanabi's body was weaker than expected.

Tōka stood on the high platform, looking at the little devil standing ten steps away, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.

The reason is simple: Higashika doesn't know the Gentle Fist Tōka of the Hyuga Clan!

The Tōka method involves releasing chakra through Chakra Points on various parts of the body; I don't know how to do the others.

With the memory of Hanabi's body, Dongge's Gentle Fist- style Gentle Tōka was no problem.

But there was a cunning Fox in the Viewing Stand, making it impossible for Tōka to fool anyone.

"Forget it, let's finish this quickly. They're just a few new kids!" Tōka stood there expressionlessly, waiting for Koizumi Aya's signal.

Koizumi Aya looked at the two of them, signaling them to get ready.

Then, she swung her raised arm down sharply!

"Battle begins!"

As soon as Koizumi Aya finished speaking, a sudden gust of wind blew up.

Dust and sand filled the air, blurring visibility.

The Wind and Sand stung everyone's eyes, so they quickly raised their hands to cover their eyelids.

Just then, a loud bang, as if it were right next to her ear, made Koizumi Aya instinctively turn her head to look.

But then I saw...

The little devil from Class Two soared into the air, like a kite with a broken string, tracing an arc in the sky before falling straight off the platform.

Thump!

The man plopped down on the ground, looking completely bewildered, as if he hadn't yet figured out how he had been thrown out.

Is it over?!

"So powerful!" The crowd surrounding the platform gasped in astonishment, while Koizumi Aya, who was on the platform herself, felt it even more acutely.

Where Hanabi had stood, a faint white afterimage still lingered!

Koizumi Aya blinked, the white shadow seemed to vanish. She couldn't tell if she was seeing things or if it was truly so close that her eyes couldn't see it clearly anymore.

"The Hyuga Clan has produced an extraordinary youngster!" The Third Hokage, having witnessed it firsthand, couldn't help but show a look of amazement.

To possess such speed at this age is nothing short of terrifying.

Those eyes... they Hyuga Main Family, right? I remember Hiashi's youngest daughter was named Hanabi.

"Teacher Koizumi, the battle is over." Tōka glanced at the female ninja who was still standing there in a daze and couldn't help but remind her.

He could already feel the intense gaze of the Third Hokage coming from the Viewing Stand; the scrutinizing look sent a chill down his spine.

To avoid arousing suspicion from the Fox, it's best to go down as soon as possible.

Upon hearing this, Koizumi Aya snapped out of her daze and quickly announced the result loudly, "Hyuga Hanabi Class 1 wins!"

There are eight classes in the same grade. Each class sends its top two students to participate, for a total of sixteen students. The top three will be determined and will receive personal tutoring from the Third Hokage for one day.

Tōka had no interest in a bunch of kids fighting. After one match, he turned and left, heading towards the Teaching Building.

He still has at least three more matches before it's his turn.

Therefore, Tōka decided to take the opportunity to escape!

With the Third Hokage at the Ninja Academy, doesn't that mean there are fewer guards at the Hokage Building? At least the Kage's Shadow Guard who protected the Third Hokage followed him to the Ninja Academy.

In a venue with hundreds of people, the absence of Tōka is like a pebble missing from the ocean; it won't attract any attention from others.

Moreover, at this moment, everyone's attention is focused on the high platform.

After bypassing the Teaching Building, Tōka arrived at the Small Woods Teaching Building it. He formed a hand Hand Seals, and with a bang, a cloud of white mist exploded beside him.

A Shadow Clone that looked exactly like Hanabi appeared to the side.

"When you go on stage, finish off your opponent as quickly as possible, and don't let the Third Hokage notice anything amiss," Tōka instructed, his Ice Blue pupils One Flash slightly.

A black Vortex slowly began to rotate in the Void, and soon completely sucked Tōka in.

The Shadow Clone quietly retraced its steps and returned to the Playground filled with students.

The Hokage Building, its rooftop empty.

A jet-black dot suddenly appeared, then slowly began to rotate, and then rapidly enlarged, as if it were swallowing up the surrounding space.

Before long, Black Vortex the size of a basin formed.

Immediately afterwards, a petite figure appeared, stepping gracefully out of the Black Vortex.

Ice Blue flames danced in his eyes. Tōka lowered his head, his gaze piercing through layers of barriers, taking in the entire view of the Hokage Building.

The Hokage's Office secretly houses the setup of an Elite Squad.

On the floors below, including important areas such as the Mission Hall and Conference Room, two Elite Squad are hidden in the shadows.

In other words, even when the Hokage and the Shadow Guard are not present, there is still a hidden Anbu three Jonin and nine Chunin within the Hokage Building.

"Heavily guarded, this is what you mean by that!" Tōka muttered to himself.

There were still quite a few Chunin and Jonin in the Mission Hall, waiting to receive missions. Forcibly storming the Hokage Building? Even Kage-level wouldn't be that reckless.

Tōka withdrew his gaze, pinched his chin, and began to ponder. The Sealing Scroll was hidden in a Hidden Chamber in the Hokage's Office.

Getting inside wouldn't be difficult for him, but infiltrating undetected would be more troublesome.

The Hidden Chamber is full of traps, both overt and covert. What should we do...?

"If only I had Obito's eyes." Tōka stood on the roof of the Hokage Building, arms crossed, brows furrowed.

Etc!

Obito's Mangekyo ability...

To put it simply, isn't it just Space-Time Ninjutsu? It's Ninjutsu that hides one's body in Alternate Dimension, leaving only a Phantom in the real world.

In my eyes, the power of possession is much more powerful!

"I wonder how many seconds this body can hold out..." Tōka's expression turned serious. He took a deep breath, and his internal chakra began to churn like boiling water.

Black Tomoe gradually appeared in his Ice Blue eyes—the unique Nine Tomoe of the Eternal Tenseigan!

Buzz!

A surge of immense Dojutsu, like a vast ocean, erupted from Tōka's eyes, causing him to feel dizzy and disoriented.

The ground beneath my feet conjured countless phantoms, while the sky above seemed to flicker between light and darkness, the two swirling and distorting into my eyes.

A wave of dizziness stimulated his nerves, and within just a few seconds, Tōka's forehead was covered in a dense layer of sweat.

"As expected, it was still too much to push myself?" Tōka's face showed pain as she reached up to cover her forehead and squatted down.

Aside from the fact that her Dojutsu hasn't fully fused, Hanabi's body is far too weak.

Completely unable to withstand the power of the Eternal Tenseigan, let alone Tōka's attempt to forcibly open the Red Realm.

Puff!

Tōka felt a tightness in his chest, a metallic sweetness rising in his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Did the forced application of the spell cause a backlash?" Tōka wiped his mouth, an unhealthy blush rising on his pale cheeks.

Forcibly deploying the Red Realm wouldn't even last a second.

"Hoo..." Tōka took a deep breath, his powerful Yang Release Chakra flowing through his meridians, repairing the internal organs damaged by the backlash.

The Scroll of Seals...

So close, yet unattainable.

What should we do?
