All-People Naruto: Twin Kamui Drawn at the Start

"Understood."

A boy about 1.7 meters tall stepped into the Chakra Level testing machine, gripped the chakra-conductive metal sensor with one hand, and began channeling his energy. A few seconds later, the number on the display stabilized at 2.6.

"2.6 units? Very well, next." The middle-aged man continued calling names as the group took turns testing.

"3.1 units, not bad. Step down."

"1.3 units? Barely meets the Ninja requirements."

The man in the middle scribbled rapidly in his notebook, while the camera above his head transmitted the scene to the three elite Chunin responsible for the evaluations.

They were the talent assessment officers for the Yang City branch of the Hunter Guild, tasked with judging the talent grades of new members based on their comprehensive abilities.

"Oh? This assessment includes Yang Long's son and the little girl from the Xia Family? It seems we might see some top-tier talent today," remarked an elderly man in black, aged around sixty. His two companions nodded, clearly in agreement.

The talent assessment consisted of three stages.

The first tested a Ninja's proficiency in Ninjutsu; using the same amount of chakra, a higher output value indicated greater Ninjutsu power and better mastery.

The second was Chakra Level, though this served only as a reference, as a Ninja's true strength was not determined by chakra volume alone.

The third was live combat. No matter how impressive the first two metrics were, they meant nothing if one's combat ability was lackluster; this stage had the greatest impact on the final evaluation.

At this moment, the three elders had their eyes fixed on Xia Xueqing and Yang Liu. The Yang City branch hadn't seen a new member with top-tier talent in over a year, and they hoped these two would provide a pleasant surprise.

The testing proceeded methodically, and soon everyone had finished.

Aside from Su Bai, Xia Xueqing, and Yang Liu, most others hovered around two or three units of chakra, with no particularly exceptional Ninjas among them.

The most eye-catching result was undoubtedly Yang Liu; his Ninjutsu power was only slightly lower than Xia Xueqing's, but his Chakra Level was three times hers!

19.68 units!

Once this number appeared, everyone present—save for Su Bai and Xia Xueqing, who knew the reason and remained calm—was shocked!

"No way? This guy, who's about our age, actually reached a terrifying 20 units of chakra?"

"And he's an Ice Release Kekkei Genkai user! This talent is too frightening!"

"Indeed. Aside from that girl with the Byakugan, I doubt anyone here could last a single exchange against him!"

"The live combat drill later will be worth watching. Those two will likely choose each other as opponents. I'm really looking forward to it!"

"Yes, very much so. And that Su Bai isn't bad either. Even if his Ninjutsu power isn't great, he still has nearly ten units of chakra. He's a genius in his own right!"

The crowd whispered in astonishment as they followed the middle-aged man toward a sparring arena.

Standing before a ring nearly 500 meters in length and width, the middle-aged man asked in a low voice, "Besides Xia Xueqing and Yang Liu, who else here possesses a Kekkei Genkai?"

"You must be honest about this, or it will affect your final evaluation score."

The group looked at one another. Aside from Su Bai and a cold-faced girl in black who stepped forward, no one else moved.

"I have a Kekkei Genkai," the girl in black said.

"I do as well," Su Bai added.

The middle-aged man nodded, turning his gaze first to the girl in black.

"What is your Kekkei Genkai?"

"Transparent Release." The girl stated her ability with complete indifference. The crowd was stunned; they were all familiar with this Kekkei Genkai!

Transparent Release was not a common Kekkei Genkai on Blue Star; on the contrary, it was extremely rare.

The ability of Transparent Release allowed one to erase their own presence and turn their body invisible. Once in this state, they were nearly impossible to detect unless one was an exceptionally skilled sensory Ninja or possessed specialized ocular powers. They were natural-born assassins!

Su Bai recalled that in the original work, Gekko Hayate possessed this rare Kekkei Genkai, so he couldn't help but take a second look at the girl.

The girl in black had a cold, handsome face and appeared very composed. She returned his gaze, curious about what Su Bai's Kekkei Genkai might be.

"Those three masters will surely value her, right?" The middle-aged man was slightly surprised. Few in the guild possessed such a Kekkei Genkai; he felt this would be a major bonus point!

Sure enough, the three elders in the evaluation room became immediately interested upon hearing the girl's words.

"Oh? A rare Transparent Release Kekkei Genkai? We can give her a top-tier talent rating."

"Indeed. A genius with such a Kekkei Genkai will surely become a pillar of the guild, provided they don't perish prematurely!"

"Agreed. Give her a top-tier talent rating!"

Even before the live combat drill, the three elders had already made their decision.

They then turned their attention back to Su Bai on the screen, hoping his Kekkei Genkai would also surprise them.

"Su Bai, what is your Kekkei Genkai?" the middle-aged man asked, his tone gentle; Su Bai's talent had caught his attention.

Su Bai withdrew his gaze and calmly spoke a sentence that caused both the middle-aged man and Yang Liu, who had been watching him closely, to change color.

"My Kekkei Genkai is the Sharingan."

As he spoke, his eyes instantly turned scarlet. Two tomoe swirled within his black pupils, radiating a mysterious aura that left the middle-aged man in shock!

"What? It's actually the Cursed Eye? This..."

He was, of course, familiar with the "fame" of the Sharingan. Anyone who had heard of its terrifying side effects couldn't help but feel a chill in their heart!

It was not just the middle-aged man and Yang Liu; even the three elders in the evaluation room had their expressions change!

"The Kekkei Genkai awakened by this kid named Su Bai is actually the Sharingan?"

"Sigh, I originally thought he would allow me to grant him a top-tier talent rating, but who would have thought it would be such a useless Kekkei Genkai. What a pity."

"Indeed, Su Bai's path is already set. He will only follow in the footsteps of those insane Ninja. It is truly a shame!"

The three elders all shook their heads and sighed, their expectations for Su Bai dropping to freezing point in an instant!

"It's actually the Sharingan? You..." The girl in black was somewhat shocked!

As a Transparent Release Ninja, she paid more attention to the Sharingan than the average person, because her Kekkei Genkai's natural enemies were precisely the Sharingan and the Byakugan.

The astonishing insight of both, combined with their ability to see through the flow of Chakra Level within a body, acted as a natural restraint against her!

Fortunately, however, Ninja with the Sharingan Kekkei Genkai were almost non-existent; even if one appeared occasionally, they were either insane or dead. This made the girl in black lose interest in Su Bai after her initial surprise.

"Sharingan... You two may return." The middle-aged man fell silent for a moment before announcing the next test item—combat!

"You are now free to find your opponents and begin the combat!"

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, Yang Liu immediately approached Su Bai.

"Su Bai, come on. Let me see how powerful you are after awakening your Kekkei Genkai!" Yang Liu stared at Su Bai with burning eyes, looking forward to a battle with him!

Su Bai grinned and stepped onto the ring with him.

The crowd immediately turned their eyes toward Su Bai and Yang Liu, eagerly anticipating the collision between two Kekkei Genkai users!

"Who do you think will win?"

"It should be Yang Liu. His Chakra Level is double that of Su Bai, his Ninjutsu power is four times greater, and he possesses the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai. I think his chances of winning are high!"

"I agree. Although I don't know what the Cursed Eye the judge mentioned is, I still favor Yang Liu!"

"I actually happen to know about that. Both the Sharingan and the Byakugan are ocular Kekkei Genkai. They have astonishing insight into Genjutsu and Ninjutsu, and I've heard they can even copy Ninjutsu. I wonder if Su Bai has mastered that."

"Hiss! Copying Ninjutsu? That's so broken? I'm so envious!"

"Envious? Heh, you probably don't know why the Sharingan is called the Cursed Eye, do you? The possessors of these eyes are either insane or dead, without exception. Are you still envious?"

"What? That's too terrifying, isn't it? Doesn't that mean Su Bai is finished?"

"Pretty much."

The crowd whispered among themselves, their eyes fixed tightly on the two people on the ring.

The two stretched their bodies, and Yang Liu spoke first.

"Are you ready?"

"Ready. Let's begin."

A flicker of anticipation flashed in Su Bai's scarlet eyes as he assumed a Taijutsu stance.

Yang Liu did the same, intending to play around with Su Bai using Taijutsu first.

"Alright then, I'm coming!"

Yang Liu let out a low shout and charged at Su Bai!

Bang!

Their fists and feet collided. Su Bai felt his lower leg go numb; the force behind Yang Liu's punch was immense, far greater than his own!

He was not surprised, knowing this was the change brought to his physical fitness after his Chakra Level increased.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two engaged in intense Taijutsu, trading blows in a lively exchange.

Although Yang Liu's physical fitness was superior to Su Bai's, he lacked the Sharingan. He was at a disadvantage in controlling the rhythm of the battle, often having to be hit several times by Su Bai before he could land a single blow.

Bang!

Su Bai seized the opening in Yang Liu's attack recovery and took the opportunity to kick him in the chest, sending him flying over ten meters away.

After landing, Yang Liu immediately steadied his footing and looked at Su Bai with a solemn expression.

"Cough, such keen observation. Is this the power of the Sharingan?"

"I'm afraid none of my attack follow-ups can escape those eyes of his."

As a descendant of a Kekkei Genkai family, his status was high, and the Sharingan was no secret to him. At this moment, Yang Liu felt that he might not be able to win if he continued to engage Su Bai in Taijutsu.

Thinking of this, he formed hand seals and let out a low shout!

"Su Bai, I've heard that the Sharingan can copy Ninjutsu, but I don't know if it can copy my Ice Release. You are welcome to try and open my eyes!"

"I wouldn't have it any other way!" Su Bai also assumed a hand-sealing posture, the two tomoe in his scarlet eyes glowing slightly as he saw through the flow of Chakra Level within Yang Liu's body.

Yang Liu stopped talking and began to form hand seals rapidly. Whatever seals his hands made, Su Bai mirrored; the two moved almost in perfect synchronization, like reflections in a mirror!

"I feel like I can copy it!" Su Bai felt his powerful mental energy suppressing the violent chakra within his body, perfectly replicating Yang Liu's ninjutsu circulation path without encountering any obstacles!

"Swish, swish, swish!" Two seconds later, Yang Liu and Su Bai completed their hand seals almost simultaneously!

"Ice Release: Ice Pillar!"

"Ice Release: Ice Pillar!"

Boom!

Two massive ice pillars appeared at the same time, canceling each other out. The vast arena was instantly half-destroyed, the sheer power shocking everyone present!

"No way? Can the Sharingan even copy a Kekkei Genkai?"

"This is terrifying; their strength is just too immense!"

"Indeed, compared to Su Bai and Yang Liu, we are practically weaklings!"

"What surprises me most is Su Bai. To think he could reach this level; his opponent is a user of the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai!"

Compared to the shock of the others, Yang Liu was even more stunned, wearing an expression as if he had seen a ghost!

"Impossible. This is a Kekkei Genkai ninjutsu; how could you actually copy it?"

"I'm quite surprised myself." Su Bai stood five or six meters away from him, feeling a bit puzzled.

The ninjutsu was clearly copied and executed by me... yet no information appeared on the system panel. Does this mean I can only use Kekkei Genkai ninjutsu while copying it, but cannot truly master it?

Furthermore, I feel that the consumption of the Sharingan when copying Ice Release ninjutsu is far less than when copying Fire Release or Lightning Release ninjutsu. I could probably handle copying it twenty times over!

When Su Bai copied Chu Yuan's Lightning Release and Li Lei's Fire Release in the Wasteland Zone yesterday, the new ninjutsu automatically appeared on the panel the first time he used them, signifying that he had mastered them. This held true for all four ninjutsu without exception.

However, now that he had copied Yang Liu's Ice Release, no changes appeared on the panel. Su Bai figured this must be because he was not an Ice Release Ninja.

Ice Release... a fusion of Water Release and Wind Attribute. I wonder if I will become an Ice Release Kekkei Genkai Ninja once my Water and Wind attributes are high enough in the future.

Su Bai looked at the panel with anticipation, feeling that the system would not let him down.
