People in Konoha: Three Choices at the Start

"Last match! Minato Namikaze versus Uchiha Liuyun!"

Wang Tenggangyi shouted, his voice carrying a trace of excitement even he failed to notice.

That was right—the final battle was Liuyun versus Minato Namikaze.

Now that he had the strength, Liuyun naturally would not act like a pig to eat a tiger as they did in novels.

With strength came the need to show it. At this stage, following the death of the Second Hokage, the Senju Clan was gradually declining.

The Uchiha Clan was unquestionably Konoha's foremost clan.

The more talented he appeared, the more seriously the Uchiha Clan would value him.

At least for this year, Liuyun would not have any problems.

With the system's assistance, he believed that after a year, he would absolutely be capable of protecting himself.

As Liuyun and Minato walked out one after another,

the atmosphere reached its climax.

"Liuyun! Come on! Beat that pretty boy senseless! Avenge me!" Kushina clenched her fists, looking extremely displeased.

"I really didn't expect Liuyun to have hidden himself so deeply. He can actually fight Minato on equal terms!"

Shikaku sighed, his face solemn.

He knew that what happened at the Ninja Academy today would quickly reach every major clan in Konoha, and even land on the Third Hokage's desk.

Today's incident was truly huge. After all, the Uchiha Clan had produced another genius!

The old man and the others were probably going to have a headache again!

"Liuyun! I never expected my final opponent to be you!"

Minato wore a sunny smile, surprise in his voice.

"Ding! Choose, host!"

1. Defeat Minato Namikaze and win this match. Reward: Mental Energy doubled!

2. Throw the match and lose to Minato Namikaze. Reward: The host will enter the palace and become a eunuch.

3. Draw. Reward: None!

I choose one! Liuyun answered silently.

He looked up at Minato, his tone calm.

"I'm honored as well. Actually, I've wanted to experience the strength of the class chief for a long time!"

"This time, I can finally fulfill that wish."

"Is that so?" Minato laughed heartily. "Honored is putting it a bit strongly, isn't it?"

Liuyun shook his head without speaking. This honor naturally referred to the future!

After speaking, the two began forming the Seal of Reconciliation.

"Begin!"

With Wang Tenggangyi's roar, the two leaped backward.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three kunai formed a triangle. As Minato retreated, he did not forget to throw them with his right hand.

"Too slow!"

Liuyun forcefully spun on his feet, dodging the three kunai.

He flipped both hands, and eight shuriken instantly appeared in them.

He threw them at Minato in the distance!

For Liuyun, being able to fight the Yellow Flash—the future Fourth Hokage—was quite exciting.

Moreover, Minato himself was a powerful opponent!

Even though Liuyun now possessed strength comparable to a Chunin, he remained completely focused and took the battle extremely seriously.

After all, Minato had remained the class chief ever since entering the academy, overpowering the children of the various major clans despite being a civilian ninja.

Who the hell knew how strong this guy was? If he slipped up, Liuyun would definitely overturn the boat.

Of course, whether it was Liuyun or Minato, all the kunai and shuriken they used were unsharpened.

They definitely would not bleed if struck, but external injuries were unavoidable.

Facing the shuriken coming from all directions, Minato did not panic in the slightest.

He flicked his left hand, and a kunai appeared in it.

Immediately afterward, sparks flew and the sounds of weapons colliding rang out around them.

Minato knocked away four of the eight shuriken, while dodging the remaining four by turning sideways.

At the instant he dodged, a blurred figure appeared before him amid a sharp whistling sound.

His right leg rose high. He lifted himself onto his left foot and spun, his slender leg producing a series of explosive cracks as it viciously kicked toward Minato!

With the doubled stamina granted by the system, Liuyun's Taijutsu might not have been the strongest in the class, but it was definitely among the best.

Surprise flashed through Minato's eyes, but his hands moved incredibly quickly.

He clasped both hands together to block Liuyun's full-powered whip kick.

Bang!

Minato's hands trembled slightly. His feet dragged across the ground, and the immense force sent his body uncontrollably staggering backward.

Two drag marks formed in an instant.

"Holy crap! Is that really Liuyun? He's actually suppressing Minato with Taijutsu!"

Inoichi Yamanaka rubbed his eyes and blurted out a classic exclamation in disbelief.

"Look at how far Minato was pushed back. It's much farther than Uchiha Yuantong!"

Choza hit the nail on the head, his expression somewhat grave.

As a member of the Akimichi Clan, a clan of Taijutsu experts, he naturally understood that Liuyun was now displaying his true strength.

"This is getting interesting! I hope Liuyun can defeat Minato!"

The two Hyuga brothers walked over, and Hizashi spoke calmly.

As for the reason, everyone knew it. Minato was a civilian ninja, while Liuyun was an Uchiha.

All the children of Konoha's major clans had been placed in the same class, yet a civilian ninja had continuously remained the top student. It had to be said that this was rather ironic.

On the field!

Liuyun was like a cheetah sprinting at top speed. His body became a blur, and after landing a hit, he gave Minato no chance to retaliate.

He knew that even a lion had to use all its strength to hunt a rabbit, let alone against a genius like Minato.

As Minato staggered backward, his gaze at Liuyun changed again.

The surprise from before became shock, then turned into solemnity.

Clearly, he had never expected Liuyun's Taijutsu to be so powerful.

He rapidly formed Hand Seals. Just as Liuyun's fist neared him, Minato finally completed his Hand Seals.

Bang!

With an explosive boom, Minato's body shattered into pieces, instantly transforming into a log where he stood.

Substitution Technique!

Liuyun was not surprised in the slightest. Sensing movement behind him,

he stomped hard with his left foot. Cold air surged, flecks of frost began gathering, and in an instant they formed a sturdy ice wall!

Hard ice spikes gradually protruded from its surface, completely enveloping Liuyun's back like a barrier.

Seeing this, Minato, who had been attacking, hurriedly stopped. Before he could react,

the ice spread wildly like a sea wave.

Minato quickly leaped backward several times, putting a safe distance between himself and Liuyun.

The frigid air also dispelled the surrounding heat, making everyone except Minato feel incomparably refreshed.

"Ice! An Ice Release Kekkei Genkai? Could Liuyun be from the Yuki Clan?" Shikaku's brows knitted together into a deep frown.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Liuyun is a genuine member of the Uchiha Clan!"

Uchiha Mikoto was displeased and immediately corrected him.

The two Hyuga brothers exchanged a glance nearby, strange expressions in their eyes.

A member of the Uchiha Clan could use Ice Release?! Wasn't the Uchiha Clan famous for Fire Release???

With Liuyun's Ice Release erupting, the scene became lively, and everyone began discussing it.

Even Wang Tenggangyi, who was watching nearby, was utterly shocked.

Regardless of how everyone discussed it, Liuyun and Minato had no time to think about anything else.

With Liuyun's Ice Release, his already superior position gave him an even greater chance of victory.

"Ice Release Kekkei Genkai!" Minato stared at the ice completely surrounding Liuyun.

His expression was solemn, with a hint of envy flashing through it.

He gave a bitter laugh. "This guy's Taijutsu is no weaker than mine, and he has an Ice Release Kekkei Genkai. Just how many other methods is he hiding?"

"But!" Minato's face turned stern. "I won't lose to you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he leaped forcefully into the air!

His hands moved rapidly, and a rain of kunai flew toward Liuyun.

He rapidly formed Hand Seals and shouted at the incoming cold current.

"Wind Release! Great Breakthrough!"

The raging gale scattered the surrounding cold current, and Minato transformed into a streak of light before vanishing from everyone's sight.

This was the Body Flicker Technique!

Crack! Crack!

One after another, ice spikes emerged from the icy ground around Liuyun and shot toward Minato.

Some also shot toward the spectators in the distance.

Wang Tenggangyi hurriedly formed Hand Seals. Just as he was about to activate a ninjutsu,

the ice arrows flying toward the spectators suddenly transformed into streams of water and dripped onto the ground.

This perfect control made Wang Tenggangyi's pupils contract violently.

Even he could only look up to such precise control.

Uchiha Liuyun... This kid had hidden himself far too deeply!

On the field, Minato's expression did not change as he faced the ice arrows filling the sky.

His Body Flicker Technique was not only extremely fast; his reactions were also incredibly agile.

He moved freely among the ice arrows, and whenever he could not dodge, he used his kunai to block them.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Liuyun.

He wore a sunny smile, his tone confident.
