Sarutobi Hiruzen had complete confidence in Namikaze Minato. He believed Minato's speed and reactions were exceptionally fast.
And he possessed an incredibly high combat IQ.
He was the student most likely to land a hit on Mitokado Homura.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was confident in his judgment. He looked expectantly at Mitokado Homura, waiting for his answer.
However, Mitokado Homura's answer deeply disappointed him.
"It wasn't Minato. It was Uchiha Kurohane. That child is the most formidable genius I've ever seen. He truly has real strength."
"Compared to him, the other students fall far too short. They couldn't even hit me once."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression turned extremely unpleasant when he heard that.
It wasn't Namikaze Minato? Uchiha Kurohane had landed the hit?
Mitokado Homura said Namikaze Minato was far inferior to Uchiha Kurohane?
How could that be? Minato must have been in poor condition today.
Sarutobi Hiruzen firmly believed Namikaze Minato would become the future Hokage. He did not believe Mitokado Homura's words.
The moment Shimura Danzō heard Uchiha Kurohane's name, he immediately felt displeased.
"I heard that Uchiha brat came first in the long-distance run before defeating Hiashi. After awakening his Sharingan, his strength made a qualitative leap."
"Members of the Uchiha Clan truly are dangerous!"
Mitokado Homura asked jokingly.
"I heard you're recruiting talent. Have you taken an interest in him?"
Shimura Danzō shook his head unhappily.
"How could I? Have you forgotten our teacher's words? The Uchiha Clan are innately evil brats. Who would be interested in them?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly asked.
"I heard you've taken a liking to Ryoma. Is that true? His performance last time was so poor. At fourteen, he was actually defeated by Kurohane..."
Shimura Danzō glared at Sarutobi Hiruzen and retorted agitatedly.
"Ryoma merely lacks a good teacher. This is the Ninja Academy's problem!"
