The wind swept over the beach, lifting a fallen leaf and carrying it spinning into the distance.
The area around the large venue was packed with children in their early teens. Koga Daijie's intention was simple.
They would continue the practical combat drill that had been interrupted earlier, but with one difference.
To give the new student a grand welcome, Koga Daijie had decided to arrange some close body-to-body interaction!
Mirai stood both within and apart from the crowd.
He narrowed his eyes as he watched the expression on Koga Daijie's face. "Hmph, so he really intends to use a practical combat drill to feel me out?"
Mirai was not actually a six-year-old child. Even mentally, he was not much younger than Koga Daijie.
This kind of fight would not defeat him. At worst, he could concede before it began.
But as a man, how could he surrender without even fighting?
Since he could not overpower his enemy, he would have to outsmart him. Mirai's gaze swept across one little brat after another.
Might Guy, the dead last, was the dark horse Mirai regarded most highly.
The explosive power of the Eight Inner Gates would definitely crush every student present.
Therefore, Mirai shifted his target to the goggle-wearing boy—Uchiha Obito.
The Fourth Great Ninja War had been stirred up by a storm, but at this moment, Obito was a genuine dead last!
Even so, Mirai's chances of winning were not high.
Guy was still in the elite class, already in sixth grade and about to graduate.
A plucked phoenix was still a phoenix!
In a direct confrontation, Mirai would lose without any chance of winning.
"Since this is to welcome our new classmate, let's have our new student, Mirai, take the stage for the first round!" Koga Daijie said solemnly.
