“Yes, looking at the entire Hidden Leaf Village now, only the Third Hokage can give me a good fight.” Naruto nodded, making no attempt to hide his abilities from Sasuke.
"Where are Guy and Kakashi?" Sasuke asked.
These two can be considered among the top Jonin in Konoha.
“Kai-sensei’s moves are exactly the same as mine. Unless we both use the Eight Gates and fight to the death, there’s no result,” Naruto said with a smile.
Sasuke remained silent. Guy didn't know ninjutsu, and as far as he knew, Naruto's ninjutsu had reached an unparalleled level.
He has cultivated all five elements and fully mastered their properties and changes in form.
This is something even Kakashi couldn't do.
However, the Third Hokage, who was known as the "Doctor of Ninjutsu," may have also reached this level.
“The old man is very old and past his prime. My battle with him will be quick and decisive,” Naruto said, pouring himself another cup of tea.
He wouldn't use his abundant chakra to drag down an elderly man nearing seventy; that would be too tasteless.
It's all about the ultimate showdown.
This is the only way to test your own abilities.
“I will go and observe.” Sasuke nodded.
Being able to observe such a high-level duel is also a good thing for him.
Sasuke gave Naruto a deep look, feeling that his brother was now unfathomable.
No one knows exactly how strong he is now.
Even Kai and Kakashi didn't know!
After all, no one had ever tried the extreme training that Guy arranged; Naruto was the first.
He breaks his own limits more than three times a day. Just how strong is his physical condition now?
Sasuke felt no jealousy, only deep admiration.
He trained with Naruto, but he simply couldn't handle Naruto's training intensity. Forcing himself to take it would only result in one thing: ruining his body.
"I need to get myself in shape. You go train first," Naruto said, then went back to his room.
Sasuke then went to the courtyard, where there were several water vats, but the edges were very thin, slightly thicker than a piece of paper. This was something Sasuke had specially made.
He smeared the oil he had placed on the ground onto the edge of the water tank, and then jumped onto it.
It stood firmly on the edge of the water tank.
The water tanks didn't break, and he didn't fall. Sasuke moved back and forth around the edges of the water tanks.
Sasuke strolled leisurely along the thin, smooth rim of the jar, as if walking on flat ground.
This is irrefutable proof of his unparalleled chakra control—he can precisely transform minute amounts of chakra into an invisible support platform with millimeter-level precision and effortless ease, demonstrating absolute control in places where it is almost impossible to find a foothold.
This exquisite control over energy far surpasses the ordinary ninja's understanding of chakra control.
After climbing trees and running on water, Naruto realized that chakra control was very important, so he invented this method of training chakra control.
Sasuke naturally followed along in the training, and he definitely benefited greatly from it; his current chakra control is the best proof of that.
Being able to unleash the most powerful ninjutsu effects with minimal chakra is like having an extra mana bar for a ninja like him who doesn't have much chakra.
Chapter 28 Naruto vs. the Third Hokage
Today is the graduation exam.
Naruto grinned and took a potato chip from the bag of potato chips in Choji's hand.
"Shikamaru, Choji, how are your preparations going?"
"Exams are such a hassle," Shikamaru complained, holding his head in his hands.
"Passing the exam shouldn't be a problem," Choji replied confidently, munching on potato chips.
After all, they are members of a clan. If they can't even pass the exams for the Ninja Academy, then they shouldn't bother with this. They can just stay in the clan, eat and wait to die.
The ninjutsu for the assessment was the Shadow Clone Technique. Can you believe that the graduation assessment was such a simple ninjutsu?
And even so, some people still didn't pass!
This was something Naruto never expected.
Have you spent the last six years on dogs?
He successfully obtained the Konoha headband from Iruka.
He successfully transitioned to the genin class of Konoha.
He nodded to Iruka, his homeroom teacher.
He was just about to leave the examination room
But he sensed that the teacher named Mizuki next to Iruka was looking at him strangely.
He glanced at Shuimu a couple more times.
Shuimu responded with a gentle and handsome smile.
Naruto twitched his lips and left the training ground.
What is this guy trying to do?
Tie the Konoha headband to your forehead.
Sasuke and Hinata were already waiting for him at the academy gate.
Today is the assessment day; you can leave after it's over.
If you succeed, you can change jobs; if you fail, you can repeat sixth grade and take the exam again next time.
"Let's go, I've already made plans with the old man," Naruto said as he stepped out.
Sasuke and Hinata nodded, eagerly anticipating the battle between Naruto and the Third Hokage.
After waving goodbye to Shikamaru and Choji, the three of them disappeared from their classmates' sight.
"Did you see their movements clearly?" Choji asked Shikamaru.
"I can't see it at all!" Shikamaru said, shaking his head.
"We're way too far apart," Choji said, pouting.
"You can go train with Naruto and the others," Shikamaru said, glancing at Choji.
Ding Ci immediately shuddered and shook his head, saying, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. I couldn't even take a day of that kind of training."
Shikamaru sighed and said, "That's it. They earned it through hard work, there's nothing more to say."
Let alone Naruto, he couldn't even handle the training that Sasuke and Hinata did. He has a weak personality. It would be better to kill him than to make him participate in such training.
Kiba watched Naruto and the others disappear, spat in frustration, and with Akamaru on his head, headed home: "Back to training, Akamaru!"
"Woof!" Akamaru barked in response from above.
He still had some ambition and was unwilling to be left so far behind his classmates like Naruto.
Sakura Haruno watched Sasuke's departing figure, her hands clasped to her chest, her eyes sparkling with hearts: "Sasuke-kun is so cool!"
Ino then went to Shikamaru and Choji's side, and the three of them will likely form a team.
The Sarutobi clan is a family that joined Konoha when it was first established.
They are also a powerful clan in Konoha.
After the Uchiha and Senju clans disappeared, they quietly became one of the most powerful clans in Konoha.
The entire Sarutobi clan has hundreds of ninjas.
Although there are no exceptionally talented ninjas, their foundation is incredibly solid.
It occupies a considerable area.
At a secluded training ground of the Sarutobi clan.
Naruto and the Third Hokage stood on the training ground.
Sasuke and Hinata were standing by the training field, along with an ANBU squad leader dressed in beige clothing.
The surrounding area had been cleared out by members of the Dark Guard.
The third generation personally ordered that even members of the Sarutobi family were not allowed to approach.
The three of them stared intently at the two people on the field.
The surrounding environment was already incredibly heavy due to the chakra and aura emanating from the two.
The Third Hokage, clad in battlefield armor, was the first to make a move.
He threw a shuriken at Naruto, then quickly formed hand seals: "Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"
The number of kunai instantly multiplied, transforming into a vast storm of metal that blotted out the sky and bombarded Naruto!
Naruto's face was ashen. He slammed his hands on the ground and shouted, "Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!" A thick, solid rock wall rose from the ground, precisely blocking the attack. Kunai rained down on the wall, and the sound of explosions was deafening.
Taking advantage of the thick smoke, the third-generation figure moved like a ghost around the earthen wall, his speed unlike that of an elderly man, launching a close-quarters attack!
The fingers, palms, fists, and knees are all executed with clean and crisp movements, yet they contain incredibly powerful and unpredictable angles. These are killing techniques honed through countless bloody battles.
Naruto advanced instead of retreating, demonstrating the results of Guy's extreme training!
His physical techniques are fierce and domineering, full of power, with every movement tearing through the air, yet he incorporates flexible and adaptable moves at the critical moment.
His extreme training involves developing both strength and flexibility in the same way, leaving no weaknesses.
Each hand and foot possesses immense power, making them deadly weapons, further enhanced by the skills and techniques taught by Kai.
Naruto subtly suppressed the veteran powerhouse, the Third Hokage, in taijutsu!
The two figures transformed into two blurry streaks of light and shadow, their fists and feet clashing with explosive sounds like muffled thunder.
However, the Third Hokage's brows furrowed more deeply as he felt his hands and feet begin to go numb. He had lost to Naruto in terms of strength, and if they continued to clash in taijutsu, he would inevitably lose.
He took a deep breath and suddenly unleashed an elbow strike.
Naruto bravely took a powerful elbow strike from the Third Hokage, and the ground beneath his feet shattered inch by inch!
The Third Hokage, with astonishing skill, used the opponent's force to deflect the attack, narrowly avoiding Naruto's powerful punch aimed at vital points.
The Third Hokage feigned an opening, luring Naruto into a strong attack on the middle lane.
Just as Naruto's fist was about to strike, the Third Hokage crossed his arms to block it, simultaneously shouting, "Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"
He actually used close proximity to gather chakra in front of his chest and unleashed a ferocious mud dragon at close range, attempting to devour Naruto directly!
Naruto's reaction time is incredibly fast!
Without making any hand seals, it opened its mouth and spat out a huge fireball.
"Art fire escape ho fireball!"
The earthen dragon collided head-on with the flames, sending fire and mud flying everywhere.
The Third Hokage countered each move with perfect composure: "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
A powerful gust of wind rose from the ground, carrying flames and remnants of mud and rocks toward Naruto!
At the same time, the Third Hokage changed his hand seals again: "Lightning Release: Earth Walk!" Several blinding bolts of lightning skimmed along the ground, using the ground as a springboard to rush towards Naruto!
Naruto retreated rapidly, his chakra surging beneath his feet, and he rose into the air!
He took a deep breath, his chest bulging: "Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"
The air suddenly twisted into transparent ripples, forming a columnar vacuum blade accompanied by a shriek.
The roar of the vacuum wave tearing through the air was so loud it hurt our eardrums. It not only dispersed the swirling wind and fire, but also struck the lightning with pinpoint accuracy.
In an instant, the current bursts into a fine electric grid under the cutting of the vacuum blade, twisting and disintegrating in mid-air like silver snakes.
However, the offensive did not stop! The vacuum wave, carrying the residual power of the sonic boom and the momentum to tear everything apart, transformed into a transparent death hurricane, rushing straight towards the Third Generation!
The Third Hokage's eyes narrowed: "Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!" Three incredibly powerful fire dragons, positioned at the top, middle, and bottom, roared and tore through the vacuum waves, using the advantage of fire over wind, and shot towards Naruto who was suspended in mid-air!
Not only that, the third generation also quickly formed hand seals.
"Earth Release: Earth Flow River!" The ground beneath Naruto's feet transformed into a torrent of mud and rocks. If Naruto were to descend from mid-air, he would surely be swept into the mud and rocks.
