Most of these signal sources bore the prefixes of Konoha's secret clans, such as "Yamanaka" and "Aburame."

Considering Namikaze Minato, that ninja from Kumogakure, and the clans associated with these Wi-Fi signals and their abilities, Sawada Hiroki pondered for a moment and reached a preliminary conclusion: the so-called "Wi-Fi signals" were likely a "visualized" representation of the system's perception of others' chakra.

After all, these clans were famous for their exceptional sensory abilities.

The mental secret techniques the Yamanaka Clan excelled in were renowned throughout the ninja world, and the various mind-control techniques used by Yamanaka Ino, one of the Konoha 11 in the Naruto manga, were quite similar to Hiroki's own functions.

The Aburame Clan, on the other hand, was famous for their insect-manipulation techniques. While this clan didn't appear much in the manga, they were also sensory-type ninjas who typically seemed to use insects to monitor others and gather intelligence.

So, looking at it this way, was he, Sawada Hiroki, currently being monitored by at least six or seven different sensory ninjas?

Hiroki's heart sank. He knew the commotion he had caused this time was too great for the village not to send people to watch him, but this scale still exceeded his expectations.

He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

He re-entered the Task Manager, terminated his panic process, and continued to think.

That wasn't right either; even if he had caused some stir, he shouldn't be the primary target of observation. Most ninjas should be more focused on Uzumaki Kushina.

Hiroki was likely just a secondary target.

Moreover, Hiroki remembered that when Namikaze Minato was looking for them, he had received the signal from a great distance away, so these ninjas might not all be monitoring him specifically.

Thinking this, Hiroki silently sank his consciousness into his cheat.

Turning his intent into a mouse cursor, he attempted to click on the strongest signal: [Yamanaka Aya-Secure-Signal: Medium].

[Connecting... Connected.]

Almost instantly, a window similar to the one from his previous physical contact popped up, titled [Yamanaka Fu's Computer].

It worked!

Hiroki felt a surge of joy and immediately and skillfully opened the [Temp] folder, which represented the other party's real-time thoughts.

Rows of file names refreshed instantly.

File names:

|Meditating in the dormitory_Chakra stable.log|

|Doesn't seem to be anything special_Can a child like this really kill a jonin?.log|

|Hokage-sama's order_He seems to have a Kekkei Genkai for mental perception_Could he be a branch of our clan's ancestors?.log|

|What exactly is the principle behind this Sawada Hiroki's Kekkei Genkai.log|

|Can read brains to copy ninjutsu_Can also communicate remotely_Why does it seem so much like our secret techniques?.log|

Looking at these file names, Hiroki's pupils constricted slightly.

It really was the Anbu! And they had already reached a preliminary conclusion about his Kekkei Genkai's abilities—that he could copy ninjutsu and communicate remotely.

And was he really being monitored?

He tried to click on one of the .log files to see the specific content.

|Can read brains to copy ninjutsu_Can also communicate remotely_Why does it seem so much like our secret techniques?.log|: "According to intelligence, this child seems to be able to read memories. It would be better to set up some mental defenses!"

Huh!?

What was going on!?

Had his intelligence been exposed so quickly? And mental defenses...?

Did they have them? Hiroki frowned; he hadn't felt any so-called mental defenses at all... Or were mental defenses not located in the temporary cache folder? After all, according to program logic, cache folders were rarely protected by permissions.

Hiroki pondered and clicked on the other party's [D Drive (Memory Disk)].

Sure enough, it listed a series of tempting folders such as [Yamanaka Clan Secret Jutsu] and [Anbu Interrogation Jutsu].

But no matter which one he clicked or tried to copy, the same prompt popped up.

[Access denied. You need administrator privileges to perform copy operations.]

Just as he thought.

Because they had set up mental defenses, he couldn't directly copy the other party's secret techniques and abilities.

He needed administrator privileges.

"..."

Hiroki frowned. This feeling was like staring at a room full of treasure while separated by a layer of unbreakable glass.

Hiroki attempted to open the computer of another member of the Aburame Clan, Aburame Fu.

Hiroki quickly tried to open his memory folder to attempt to copy a ninjutsu, but the same prompt popped up immediately.

[Access denied. You need administrator privileges to perform copy operations.]

Damn it...

In his own thoughts, through the copy ability...

If it looked like this, the restrictions on his ability to copy ninjutsu were even greater!

If things went on like this, wouldn't he only be able to copy ninjutsu by finding people he had a close relationship with, capturing enemy ninjas, or using some other method to maintain prolonged physical contact?

Furthermore, if he were to become famous, the entire ninja world would hold hostility or wariness toward him; how would he copy ninjutsu then?

If he couldn't copy ninjutsu, how could he improve!? If he didn't improve, how could he become Homelander!?

Just then, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

"Please, come in."

Hiroki looked toward the door. Who would be coming to his hospital room at this hour?

Hiroki was still wondering when the door was pushed open, and the person who walked in made him freeze slightly.

--Wearing the Hokage's haori and holding a pipe in his mouth was the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Why was he here?

"Lord Hokage!" Hiroki immediately struggled to get out of bed to salute.

"No need for formalities, child, lie back down." Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and waved his hand, pulling over a chair to sit down with practiced ease, his gaze examining him gently. "How is your recovery coming along?"

"I have fully recovered, thank you for your concern, Lord Hokage."

"That is good." The Third Hokage nodded and took a document from his robes. The smile on his face faded slightly, becoming more serious. "I am here today to inform you of two things."

He handed the document to Hiroki.

"First, in view of the outstanding abilities you, Namikaze Minato, and Uzumaki Kushina displayed during this Cloud Village kidnapping incident, the village leadership has unanimously decided to promote you directly from the Ninja Academy and have you graduate early."

Hiroki's hand, which had taken the document, paused, and his heart skipped a beat.

As expected, just as he had predicted, his peaceful life was gone forever!

The Third Hokage held up two fingers: "Second, to make your graduation legitimate and to allow the village to more accurately assess your true strength, the village will arrange a special graduation examination for the three of you."

"I have already sent people to notify Minato and Kushina." The Third Hokage looked at Hiroki, a meaningful glint flashing in his eyes. "The time for the graduation exam will be notified to you separately."

Compared to Minato or Kushina, he was even more optimistic about the child before him.

Someone willing to protect their comrades and willing to entrust their back to their comrades in the village could never be a bad person!

The Third Hokage stood up and walked to the door. His hand was already on the doorknob, but as if he had suddenly remembered something, he turned his head back and said in a tone that seemed casual but actually contained deep meaning:

"By the way, Hiroki-kun."

"Regarding your Kekkei Genkai... there are different voices in the village. Some people think it is dangerous."

He looked deeply at Hiroki, a mysterious smile curling the corners of his mouth.

"So, for this assessment, you had best... bring out something 'not so dangerous' to prove yourself."

"Perform well. Don't let me down, and... don't let certain people be 'too disappointed'."

After saying this, he pulled the door open, his figure disappearing into the corridor, leaving behind a faint, lingering scent of tobacco.

In the hospital room, Hiroki clutched the scorching-hot early graduation notice, but a cold sweat seeped from his palms.

The Third Hokage's words had a hidden meaning.

What did he mean by something [not so dangerous]!?

Was Lightning Style: False Darkness dangerous? Was his Kekkei Genkai dangerous? And what was this talk about proving himself?

"Something not so dangerous"... "Don't let certain people be 'too disappointed'"...

This was no longer a simple graduation assessment.

The Third Hokage's words were not something that should be said to a child.

Who are these people!? And what is this "disappointment" supposed to mean? It couldn't be that the scapegoat of Konoha is making a move again, targeting a blooming young lad like himself, could it!

Danzō, you old geezer, you just have to set your sights on any promising sprout that appears in Konoha, don't you!?

Why is it that you're the only one with such a "discerning eye" for talent every single day?

Hiroki couldn't help but want to complain. He wanted to interrogate the Third Hokage: what did he mean by bringing out something "less dangerous" to prove himself? Did this mean he had to reveal even more new things to prove his worth? But at the same time, he couldn't reveal anything too troublesome?

What on earth did those two old codgers, the Third Hokage and Shimura Danzō, want him to show them!? Was it something other than his Kekkei Genkai?!

Could they please stop being so cryptic, and could they please stop saying these things to a ten-year-old child?

If it were anyone else, would they even be able to understand what the Third Hokage was talking about!?
