A tenacious fellow

The boy slowly got up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth again, his face full of indifference and coldness, or rather, his face showed no emotion or pain whatsoever.

He simply didn't know what death or pain was.

"Three minutes, two minutes left." The words that came out were so calm.

"You rascal." Yang Xing smirked, unable to suppress a laugh. Instead of being angry, he laughed, pointing at the boy named Tenzo, his eyes flashing with a strange light. "Alright, looks like you made it through the minute. Not bad."

"Next, let's try this. I just thought of it yesterday, and I invented it on the spot today." Yang Xing's eyes revealed excitement. He hadn't exercised like this in a long time, so he used a Ninjutsu he had just come up with without thinking.

With a single twist of his hand, the Chidori appeared. Powerful electricity surged through Yang Xing's Yang Xing, but instead of attacking directly, he squeezed his hand tightly.

Snap!

The raging currents of Chidori surged entirely onto Yang Xing's single hand.

The fist was covered in surging electricity, which, under Yang Xing's suppression, swirled around Yang Xing's small fist.

The scene was quite spectacular; just by looking at it, one could tell that its power was no weaker than that of the clever bird from before.

"Lightning Release: Chidori Lightning Fist!" Raising his fist, Yang Xing took a step forward and charged straight up, raising his fist as well.

"Create your own moves, for times like this!"

Looking at the Yang Xing ahead, Asuma was speechless.

Even the brightest eyes of Kurenai Yuhi were sparkling, illuminated by the electric current in Yang Xing's hand, giving them an unusual luster.

Yang Xing's punch came very quickly, and the pull of the electric current actually created a kind of attraction.

This prevented Tenzo from retreating at all.

He could only barely raise his hands to protect his body; his hands even transformed into wooden vines as he tried to defend himself.

Unfortunately, the power of the lightning Chakra in Yang Xing's hand completely exceeded his expectations.

Crack!

As if struck by lightning, Tenzo collapsed. This current was far beyond what his wooden vines could withstand, and even after his hands returned to normal, they were still slightly charred.

In less than a minute, Yang Xing was back in his original spot, clapping his hands, his face showing that he was still enjoying himself.

Originally, it was because the kid couldn't get up; after all, even if the Ninjutsu just now didn't reach S-rank, it was already a rare and incredibly powerful A-rank Ninjutsu.

To Yang Xing's surprise, the boy had a very strong will.

"It's not over yet, it's not over yet, hey." Even though his whole body was charred, his body, once standing up, didn't waver much, and his eyes held an indescribable stubbornness.

"You little rascal..." Yang Xing frowned slightly, then his smile widened, "Just how abnormal is your physical endurance?"

"This is nothing compared to those studies. There are 70 seconds left in 3 minutes, keep going!" The boy gritted his teeth, his eyes revealing a defiant spirit.

"Research?" Yang Xing's expression turned thoughtful, and he couldn't help but think of a question, "It seems that the research on Wood Release is more brutal than the blow I just suffered. It's a wonder you survived."

"Hey kid..."

"60 seconds left in three minutes."

"Hey, don't interrupt me!" Seeing that the other party was still bringing up the previous topic, Yang Star Ninja shout, his voice so loud that it startled everyone around him. "From today onwards, you are a member of the Starlight Group Twelfth Squad, my subordinate, Yang Xing's subordinate."

The words were decisive and straightforward.

The people around him stared in astonishment; everyone could see the seriousness in Yang Xing's expression.

The boy did smile, but the moment he stopped smiling, he couldn't help but feel a sudden weakness throughout his body, and he fell backward.

He was so badly injured he couldn't stand up; he just kept smirking.

"I did it! I did it!"

"Well, Danzo's subordinates are quite formidable. No wonder he thought I wouldn't harm him." Yang Xing understood that the young man ahead had great potential. For Konoha, he was indeed a very promising young man, irreplaceable by anyone.

Danzo must have believed that protecting Konoha was his duty, which is why he trusted that he wouldn't harm the kid who knew Wood Release.

Unfortunately, Danzo was wrong about one thing: Yang Xing wanted him to join the Starlight Group, not for the sake of Konoha, but solely for his own benefit.

Why not remove such a promising guy from Danzo's side and make him your subordinate?

Although the other party is a puppet, Yang Xing is confident and capable of making it understand what a true master is.

This is Yang Xing's reason for having him join.

Having figured this out, Yang Xing felt a sense of relief and had no interest in the fallen guy in front of him. Anyway, with his freakish physique, this injury was nothing. Before Yang Xing could take more than a few steps, someone grabbed him.

Asuma's face was very serious. "Hey, do you really have a way to get other people to join the Starlight Group?"

Are you out of your mind?

"Thinking about it, it makes sense. Although you're quite strong, you..." Asuma suddenly nodded as if he had just realized something, but he couldn't finish his sentence before his eyes turned red with embarrassment.

"Are you sure you're not out of your mind?" Yang Xing said, speechless. "I thought you could come up with something. Didn't you even think about the name 'Starlight Group'?"

"Name?" Asuma looked completely bewildered.

Hearing Kurenai Yuhi Yang Xing's words, Kurenai Yuhi's eyes lit up, and she immediately understood what he meant.

"Ah, I see." Kurenai Yuhi smiled at Yang Xing with a look of sudden realization, and said happily, "But, is Yang Xing really that amazing? The Starlight Group is named after you? Hasn't Asuma heard of that?"

"How would I know such a thing?" Asuma suddenly realized as well.

Neither of them had considered one thing: this guy's name also contained the character for "star," and coupled with the strength he displayed, it was clear that he was the one who named the Starlight Group.

The fact that he was able to rename the new New Anbu clearly shows his status within it.

Asuma suddenly became very excited, truly excited, so excited that he forgot everything else. He excitedly approached Yang Xing again and said, "I understand. You are the leader of the Starlight Group. In that case, let me join the Starlight Group. You should know how strong I am."

Patting his chest, Asuma kept saying how amazing he was.

Yang Xing didn't even look at it before waving his hand and saying, "No, with your strength, you're not even fit to commit suicide."

"I can tell you, I'm not just the Third Hokage's son, I also know all sorts of powerful Ninjutsu, and I've joined the Starlight Group... Wait, what did you just say?" "Hey, you better explain yourself clearly."

"Asuma."

"I won't give up, Yang Xing. I'll make sure you let me join the Anbu."

Yang Xing suddenly realized a very important problem. "It seems that he shouldn't know about this."

If this guy becomes as persistent as Tenzo, then she'll have a lot of trouble to deal with.
