Ebizo's gaze fell on Kawaki Aoba. After studying him carefully for a long while, he slowly said, "This kid is far stronger than the rumored rising stars of Konoha. At such a young age, he possesses the Sharingan, has attained an extremely high level in Lightning Release, and boasts exceptional sensory abilities. Konoha has hidden him well."

Kawaki Aoba looked down at him and said coldly, "There is no luck
