Have You Been Kicked by Light?

"First-year student Shimura Kizaru, early graduation examination, begin!"

Following the school teacher's announcement, under the gaze of the entire school's faculty and students, as well as Konoha's upper echelons, Kizaru walked onto the training ground.

On the field, Uchiha Kensuke stood in the center, a one-meter-long ninja sword strapped to his back.

Watching the child who was taller than him walk forward, Uchiha Kensuke secretly steeled himself.

Having reviewed Kizaru's file from the clan head and the elders, Uchiha Kensuke understood.

This child before him could not be underestimated, or he would suffer a heavy loss.

If things went poorly, he might be the one defeated in a moment.

If that happened, he would surely become the laughingstock of his clan!

"I won't hold back for this exam, so give it your all!" Staring straight at Kizaru, Uchiha Kensuke said coldly with an expressionless face.

"Give it my all?" Kizaru rubbed his head in distress and said with a smile, "That's a truly difficult request!"

This kid is really infuriating!

Regaining his composure, Uchiha Kensuke continued: "Make your move! Let me see your strength!"

With his hands tucked into his pockets, Kizaru looked at Uchiha Kensuke and said with a beaming smile: "Then I won't be polite!"

As he spoke, Kizaru lifted his right leg, and a golden light bloomed from his calf, dazzling and magnificent.

A golden slash tore through the air, rushing rapidly toward Uchiha Kensuke's position.

His pupils constricted sharply; having never seen this technique and realizing the information was incorrect, Uchiha Kensuke used the Body Flicker Technique to dodge the slash.

Kizaru's golden slash not only shocked Uchiha Kensuke but also terrified the spectators on the scene.

The glowing right leg and that destructive flying slash left countless people with their jaws dropped!

"What is this?" Standing on the rooftop, watching the exam among the Konoha high-ups, someone couldn't help but voice their surprise.

With the corners of his mouth slightly curled, Danzo turned to look at the Uchiha Clan head and several elders not far away.

"This child is really something! To think he'd use a Kekkei Genkai for a mere graduation exam."

Kekkei Genkai???

Everyone present caught the keyword.

Turning in unison toward Danzo and the three Shimura Clan elders standing behind him, their gazes were filled with shock and curiosity.

"That child has awakened a Kekkei Genkai left behind by our Shimura ancestors!" the Great Elder explained with a cheerful smile.

The Shimura ancestors had a Kekkei Genkai? Who are they trying to fool!

Everyone present came from ninja clans at the very least and was quite familiar with the Shimura Clan.

They were one hundred percent certain that the Shimura Clan had never possessed a Kekkei Genkai.

Considering that Kizaru's parents were both from the Shimura Clan, there were only two possibilities for Kizaru suddenly possessing one.

First, this child was not from the Shimura Clan but an orphan they had adopted.

But that was unlikely, as even in the entire Shinobi World, they had never seen or heard of a Kekkei Genkai that could emit such golden light.

Excluding the first possibility, only one answer remained.

This Kekkei Genkai capable of emitting golden light had been created by Shimura Kizaru, a child not yet seven years old.

Envy! Jealousy!

Everyone present looked at the grinning Shimura Great Elder with eyes full of extreme envy.

A genius could make a clan flourish for decades!

A new secret technique could give birth to a ninja clan!

A Kekkei Genkai could nurture a top-tier ninja clan, or even a powerhouse of the Shinobi World like the Uchiha or Hyuga!

Incredible! The Shimura Clan is about to take off!

With extremely complex emotions, the crowd glanced at the Shimura Great Elder before returning their focus to the training ground below.

On the field, after dodging Kizaru's first attack, Uchiha Kensuke first unleashed the Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique.

Under the cover of the massive fireball, Uchiha Kensuke used the Shadow Clone Technique to split into three, wielding his ninja sword as they charged at Kizaru from three directions.

Standing in place facing the incoming fireball, Kizaru remained calm, not even taking his hands out of his pockets.

He first jumped backward to create distance, then lifted his right leg and kicked out three consecutive slashes.

The three slashes flew toward the three charging Uchiha Kensukes respectively.

Bang! Bang!

Two shadow clones were instantly destroyed by the slashes, and the last one remaining didn't get hit; instead, it vanished from the spot.

Body Flicker Slash!

Having read Uchiha Kensuke's file, Kizaru immediately guessed his move.

Taking his right hand out of his pocket, he tilted his body, dodging Uchiha Kensuke's attack from behind with precision and elegance.

The Rasengan took shape in his palm. Dodging the attack with a sidestep, Kizaru wore a smile as he abruptly raised his right hand, striking straight at Uchiha Kensuke's abdomen.

Bang!

Another puff of white smoke appeared; the Uchiha Kensuke struck by the Rasengan was still just a Shadow Clone Technique.

"How terrifying! Uchiha!" Scanning his surroundings, Kizaru tucked his right hand back into his pocket.

Hiding behind a tree trunk at the far end of the training ground, Uchiha Kensuke felt the feedback from his Shadow Clone and furrowed his brows.

At this moment, Uchiha Kensuke really wanted to curse!

Who said that Shimura Kizaru was just a brat with decent Wind Release ninjutsu and outstanding physical fitness?

What was that Golden Light Slash with such immense destructive power? And what was that lethal Chakra Ball?

Knowing that the clan's intelligence was completely wrong, Uchiha Kensuke's gaze turned grave, as if facing a formidable enemy!

Just as Uchiha Kensuke was adjusting his battle plan, Kizaru, standing near the center of the field, smiled and raised his right hand.

"Ohoho! Uncle, I've found you!" Kizaru said with a laugh, pointing his index finger toward a large tree in the distance.

A golden laser shot from the tip of his finger, striking the tree and triggering an explosion.

Having had his position exposed, Uchiha Kensuke moved rapidly.

Utilizing the smoke generated by the explosion, Uchiha Kensuke, who had already activated his Sharingan, began weaving hand seals.

Fire Style: Great Dragon Flame Technique.

A massive, scorching dragon head erupted from his mouth, charging out of the smoke with terrifying momentum straight toward Kizaru.

"Ya-ya-ya! How terrifying!" Maintaining his smile, Kizaru moved to face the several fire dragons rushing toward him.

Instead of retreating, he advanced; Kizaru used the Body Flicker Technique to leap into the air, then transformed into golden light, rushing toward Uchiha Kensuke at high speed.

A perfect fusion of the Glint-Glint Fruit's power and the Body Flicker Technique: Light Style: Flash Instant Technique!

In the blink of an eye, Kizaru had already arrived before Uchiha Kensuke.

A brilliant golden light flared; transformed into a human flashbang, Kizaru instantly blinded the caught-off-guard Uchiha Kensuke.

This time, there was no idle chatter and no time given for Uchiha Kensuke to react; Kizaru's glowing right leg kicked at high speed toward Uchiha Kensuke, who was just beginning to weave seals.

Before he could even use the Substitution Technique, Uchiha Kensuke felt himself struck by a massive force.

Crack!

Hearing the sound of bones breaking within his body, Uchiha Kensuke flew backward, eyes closed and tears streaming down his face.

Bang!

Landing heavily on the ground, the severely wounded Uchiha Kensuke felt a metallic taste deep in his throat; he coughed, and blood sprayed from his mouth.

Landing on the ground, under the shocked gazes of everyone present, Kizaru walked toward Uchiha Kensuke with a smile, his hands tucked in his pockets.

Stopping a few meters in front of Uchiha Kensuke, Kizaru smiled and delivered his line.

"Uncle, have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?"
