Naruto for All: Starting with a Double Kamui Draw Chapter 7

"Su Bai, come on, let me see if you've made any progress this week."

"Haha, then you'd better be careful." Su Bai and Lin Hu were sparring as well.

Lin Hu was sturdy and strong, half a head taller than Su Bai. He had mastered the Three Body Technique early on, and his chakra levels had reached 0.5 units, making him quite the genius at school.

As good brothers who often sparred, he knew Su Bai's strength well, so he only used thirty percent of his power to start.

"Watch out!" Lin Hu let out a low shout, swinging his fist toward Su Bai's chest.

In his mind, he expected Su Bai to be unable to dodge this punch and be forced to take it head-on.

However, to his surprise, Su Bai suddenly vanished from his sight, moving with an absurd amount of speed!

"How is this possible? Has Su Bai's strength increased this much?" Feeling a gust of wind behind him, Lin Hu hurriedly formed hand seals.

"Substitution Technique!"

Bang!

Su Bai's fist slammed into a wooden post, which the school had prepared in advance for the students.

"Su Bai, how did you suddenly get so strong?" Lin Hu's voice, filled with astonishment, came from behind him.

Su Bai turned around and smiled faintly.

"My chakra refinement has been going smoothly lately, so I have indeed gotten much stronger."

"Then what is your current chakra level?" Lin Hu asked curiously.

Su Bai shook his head, choosing to withhold the truth: "I don't know, I haven't gone to test it yet."

Every city federation was equipped with instruments to measure chakra levels. In his memory, the original owner's last test was right after he had first refined chakra, which was over a month ago.

In that month, "Su Bai" had only refined 0.03 units of chakra; one could imagine how poor his original talent was!

"Hell, your speed is just too fast. I'm sure your chakra level is at least as high as mine now!" Lin Hu scratched his head, looking surprised.

The last time he sparred with Su Bai, it had been effortless, yet this time he had nearly fallen into the other's trap.

Just as the two were talking, a sturdy boy over 1.8 meters tall walked over. Lin Hu immediately grew alert and stepped in front of Su Bai.

"Wang Qiang, what do you want?"

"Su Bai, you really have me looking at you in a new light. I never expected you to have such guts." The person who arrived was none other than Wang Qiang. He glanced at Lin Hu dismissively, ignoring him, and sized up Su Bai with malicious intent.

Su Bai knew he was talking about the incident where he "teased" Xia Xueqing, so he rolled his eyes and ignored him.

Seeing this, Wang Qiang frowned, looking down at him from a position of perceived superiority.

"Su Bai, are you deaf? Didn't you hear me asking you a question?"

"Stop calling out, I heard you." Su Bai waved his hand as if shooing away a fly, a gesture that made Wang Qiang's blood boil.

"Not bad, Su Bai. No one at First High School has ever dared to talk to me like that."

"Tell me, how many days do you want to spend in the hospital?"

Wang Qiang clenched his fists and slowly walked toward him.

Lin Hu immediately shouted, "Wang Qiang, don't you dare mess around! This is a school!"

"Heh, I know that." Wang Qiang walked up to Su Bai and said playfully, "I just want to spar with classmate Su Bai; the teachers can't interfere with that."

As the most popular girl at First High School, Xia Xueqing had long been the object of Wang Qiang's affection.

His father was also very supportive of him; after all, the Xia Family was a famous bloodline family. If Wang Qiang could truly win over Xia Xueqing, it would be equivalent to leaning on the great tree of the Xia Family!

However, Wang Qiang had been pursuing Xia Xueqing for a long time without any progress, only for Su Bai to swoop in halfway and steal his goddess's first kiss...

When he found out, he was absolutely furious. If he hadn't wanted to avoid being penalized by the school and affecting his college entrance exam scores, he would have come to cause trouble for Su Bai long ago. Why would he have waited until now?

Su Bai glanced at him.

"Who do you think you are? Just because you want to spar, I have to agree?"

"What? You're refusing?" Wang Qiang was stunned. Refusals had never happened in combat class before.

After all, the school had always promoted a martial spirit, and refusing a challenge was seen as a sign of weakness.

That was why the students he had beaten in the past would rather suffer a beating than be looked down upon. After all, they were all students with little life experience, and they cared deeply about their reputation!

But Su Bai was different. Having been tempered by the harsh realities of society, he didn't care at all about things like "face" that couldn't be eaten or drunk.

"That's right, I refuse your challenge." Su Bai shrugged indifferently and said to Lin Hu, "Let's go, this guy is an eyesore."

With that, he turned and walked away without the slightest hesitation.

The incident had long been noticed by other students, and they were all stunned when they heard Su Bai refuse the challenge.

"This guy... how embarrassing."

"Yeah, even if the others aren't Wang Qiang's match, at least they have the courage to fight. Su Bai just refused so cleanly and decisively. What a weirdo."

Su Bai's actions were incomprehensible to the students, especially the boys, who felt that backing down in front of girls was a shameful thing to do!

Wang Qiang was left speechless. If Su Bai wouldn't fight, there was nothing he could do. He watched Su Bai's retreating back and cursed.

"Like father, like son, what a piece of trash. He doesn't even have the guts to accept a challenge!"

"You deserve to be the child of such pathetic, good-for-nothing losers!"

Su Bai's background was no secret; like most of his classmates, he lived in the "slums."

Naturally, someone like Wang Qiang, who was full of a sense of superiority, looked down on him and blurted out what was on his mind.

Su Bai's footsteps suddenly halted. He clenched his fists, turned around, and narrowed his eyes at Wang Qiang.

If Wang Qiang had only insulted him, Su Bai wouldn't have bothered to argue; he considered such behavior childish and wasn't worth his time.

But now that Wang Qiang dared to insult his parents, it instantly ignited Su Bai's fury!

You dog, you're asking for death!

"You want a spar, right? I accept."

A flash of ruthlessness crossed Su Bai's eyes, though his expression remained calm, as if he were discussing something trivial.

However, Lin Hu, his good brother, knew Su Bai well. He knew that whenever his brother narrowed his eyes... it meant he was truly angry!

Su Bai's Strength

Yangcheng No. 1 High School, playground.

Chu Yuan stood coldly on a high platform, his gaze sweeping over the entire senior class as he shook his head.

"This year's students are as mediocre as ever. I'm afraid only that little girl from the Xia Family has a chance of getting into Nine Provinces Academy."

As the highest-ranked university in the Kyushu District, Nine Provinces Academy possessed immense academic resources. Every student was required to reach the Chunin level within their four years of study to apply for graduation; otherwise, the academy would not recognize them.

This was an ironclad rule set by the founders of Nine Provinces Academy when they established the school. They had long since become renowned powerhouses in Hua Country, and they strictly followed a "quality over quantity" path!

They would rather expel every single student than allow a single piece of trash to exist within their school!

It could be said that if you could graduate from Nine Provinces Academy, you were destined to be a cut above the rest!

Government officials, corporate conglomerates, and various ninja squads were all scrambling to recruit their graduates!

At the same time, Nine Provinces Academy was also the source of Chu Yuan's greatest regret... Back in the day, his dream had been to get into Nine Provinces Academy to bring honor to his family and his alma mater.

Unfortunately, his talent was limited, and he missed the cut for Nine Provinces Academy by a tiny margin, eventually settling for another prestigious university.

After graduation, relying on his exceptional courage and astonishing perseverance, Chu Yuan fought monsters in the Wasteland Zone, eventually standing out among his peers to become a popular powerhouse within the Yang City Genin circle.

When Yangcheng No. 1 High School invited him to be an instructor for the practical combat course, Chu Yuan agreed without a second thought.

It wasn't because Yangcheng No. 1 High School offered him any great benefits.

On the contrary, guiding these students was a waste of Chu Yuan's time.

For years, he had either been training frantically or hunting monsters, wishing he could make every day last for two, all just to get ahead!

Yet here he was... precisely because Yangcheng No. 1 High School was his alma mater, and he was a man of "deep hometown sentiment," he wanted to contribute to the future of his school...

Chu Yuan's gaze was deep as he watched Xia Xueqing, who was clearly far stronger than the other students on the playground, and pondered silently.

"It's only natural for this girl to get into Nine Provinces Academy. Her cultivation resources far exceed those of an average person; it's no surprise she has such achievements."

As a prominent bloodline clan in Yang City Base City, the Xia Family had countless powerhouses and endless cultivation resources. Just the publicly known Jonin-level experts numbered three!

Xia Xueqing was the apple of the Xia Family's eye, showered with all the love and affection... so when she got into Nine Provinces Academy, no one would credit the education at Yangcheng No. 1 High School; it was simply expected of her!

"The other students are far too lacking. There isn't a single one who catches my eye. I fear Yangcheng No. 1 High School will become the laughingstock of other schools again this year."

Chu Yuan sighed.

Five years ago, during his own graduating class, Yangcheng No. 1 High School had produced three geniuses, himself included.

Aside from him missing the cut for Nine Provinces Academy by a hair, the other two geniuses from his year had both been admitted...

Four years ago, a junior he had long favored had also naturally made it into Nine Provinces Academy, preserving the final shred of dignity for Yangcheng No. 1 High School that year...

But starting three years ago... Yangcheng No. 1 High School had gone downhill with every passing year, failing to produce even a decent genius, let alone anyone capable of entering Nine Provinces Academy.

This caused him, a man of "deep hometown sentiment" who valued his alma mater above all else, to sigh in silence...

While Chu Yuan was lost in thought, Wang Hai and the homeroom teachers of the other five classes approached.

"It is truly an honor for these students that Teacher Chu could spare time from his busy schedule to guide them."

"Indeed. I heard yesterday that Teacher Chu's ninja squad hunted a C-rank monster, the Earth Snow Lion. I thought he would be resting and recovering today, but I didn't expect Teacher Chu to actually show up."

"Haha, who doesn't know about Teacher Chu's affection for our Yangcheng No. 1 High School?"

Aside from Wang Hai, the other five teachers were very polite to Chu Yuan, their tones filled with sycophancy.

Chu Yuan nodded at them with a smile, finally turning his gaze toward Wang Hai and bowing respectfully.

"Teacher."

"Hmm."

Wang Hai accepted the gesture calmly, showing none of the fawning attitude the others displayed toward Chu Yuan.

This wasn't because he was acting arrogant due to his age, but because Chu Yuan had been his star pupil back in the day!

Wang Hai's gaze swept across the playground at the students who couldn't even perform the Three Body Technique skillfully, and he finally sighed at Chu Yuan: "Sigh, I truly miss your graduating class."

"Teacher, there's no need to be discouraged. The college entrance exam is still a few days away; perhaps one of the juniors will suddenly have a breakthrough and achieve a great score." Seeing his mentor sigh, Chu Yuan offered a word of comfort that he didn't truly believe.

"A sudden breakthrough? Heh, do you even believe that yourself?"

"..."

Chu Yuan fell silent.

Indeed, even he didn't believe the words he had just spoken.

The other five teachers' eyes dimmed at the sight, their own spirits dampened as they recalled the glory days of Yangcheng No. 1 High School.

Just then, a sharp-eyed teacher spotted Su Bai sparring with Wang Qiang and let out an exclamation of surprise.

"Huh? Old Wang, isn't that Su Bai from your class? Since when did he become so skilled?"

Hearing this, the others immediately followed his gaze!

Everyone saw Su Bai defending methodically against Wang Qiang's fierce attacks, occasionally using the Three Body Technique to counter!

Wang Hai's pupils constricted sharply: "This kid..."

At this moment, Su Bai and Wang Qiang were locked in combat, trading offense and defense, evenly matched!

"Damn it, you were clearly a bottom-tier student before, how are you holding your own against me like this?" After dodging a sharp punch from Su Bai, Wang Qiang pulled back to create some distance.

Su Bai's strength had caught him completely off guard!

Su Bai looked at him calmly, remaining silent as he formed hand seals.

"Clone Technique!"

Poof! Poof!
