"Yu!"
"Come on! You're the best!"
"Show those guys what you're made of! You're the most talented kid in our orphanage!"
As Yu entered the training ground, he suddenly heard familiar voices from the crowd.
"Urushi?"
"Mai? Momoka? And..."
Turning his head, Yu saw that it was indeed Urushi, Mai, and some of their fellow orphans from Konoha's orphanage who had squeezed out from the crowd and were cheering loudly for him, raising their arms.
"Headmaster? You all came?!"
Not only that, Yu also spotted Yakushi Nono among the onlookers.
She was wearing the black-framed glasses he had given her yesterday, standing beside Urushi and the others, silently encouraging him with her eyes.
"You've got to do your best, Yu."
"Let all of Konoha, let everyone see your talent and abilities..."
Standing among the crowd, she stared closely at Yu, who was standing in the training ground.
Yakushi Nono clenched her hands tightly under her sleeves, revealing her unsettled emotions at the moment.
"Do your best."
When Yu passed by the proctor, Yu heard a quiet word of encouragement from Shinku Yuhi, the usually reserved and quiet proctor of his class.
After all, as the ninja instructor and class teacher for Yu's class, Shinku Yuhi had high expectations for Yu, who had shown remarkable strength and talent.
"No choice... I didn't expect the Headmaster and the others to be here..."
"It seems I'll have to take this a bit more seriously..."
At this moment, Yu felt the eyes of everyone in the area fixed on him.
Yu's lips curled into a faint smile, but his eyes began to emit a sharp gleam.
"That Uchiha kid from earlier did indeed impress, but I wonder how you'll perform."
Standing in front of Yu, there was a mature-looking genin with a fierce aura, exuding the presence of someone who had been on the battlefield.
"Hey, kid, I advise you to go back to school for a few more years!"
"Don't let the Uchiha kid's performance get to your head."
"He's a rare genius ninja from the Uchiha clan!"
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
Beside him, another genin with a scar on his face taunted Yu, clearly looking down on him.
"We've all been on the battlefield, and we're not like you, a kid who's never killed anyone. Don't cry if you wet your pants later, just go home and drink milk!"
Another genin with a cold expression directly stood next to him, taunting Yu with indifference.
"What a headache..."
"Do you guys know?"
Facing the mockery and disdain of the three genin in front of him, Yu suddenly spoke.
What?
Hearing Yu's unexpected words, the expressions of the three genin in front of him visibly stiffened.
"Those who can't survive past one episode in the world of anime are often the most arrogant extras like you."
Gazing at the three genin in front of him, who he couldn't even be bothered to remember, Yu's lips curled into a scornful smile.
"The rules of this practical assessment are to survive for five minutes, but I think it won't be necessary..."
"Because... it will only take me five seconds to end this battle."
What is he saying?
Five seconds?
With Yu's not particularly loud voice, the entire training ground fell into silence.
Not only the three genin in front of him, but even the spectators around began to think that this white-haired kid was utterly mad!
Who did he think he was?
The God of ninja that quelled the warring states, Hashirama Senju? Or the Uchiha Madara who dominated the ninja world?
"Hahaha!"
"What a kid who's living in a dream!"
Sure enough, after Yu's seemingly plain words, the three genin in front of him burst into laughter.
"He must have been provoked by that Uchiha kid from earlier..."
"Kids like him who don't know their place usually die first on the battlefield!"
After saying that, the genin with the scar on his face took out a sharp kunai and revealed a cruel smile.
"Forget about it! Maybe this kid got scared!"
"Let's go, and let this ignorant kid learn what a real ninja is!"
With those words, the three genin in front of Yu simultaneously made their move, taking out their weapons and charging at Yu from different directions.
Although they were taunting him, the three genin were not too careless.
Just a moment ago, they had become a laughingstock after being defeated by the Uchiha clan's genius. They didn't want to repeat the same mistake with this white-haired kid.
"Is it starting?"
"You have four seconds left. Rabbit—Monkey—Sheep..."
As Yu watched the three genin rushing toward him from different directions, his amber eyes sharpened, and he instantly formed three hand seals.
"Chidori!"
Amidst the stunned gazes of everyone present, a dazzling and blinding blue-white lightning erupted in the spacious training ground before them.
"Zap, zap, zap..."
It was as if a thousand birds were cawing at the same time. Accompanied by the piercing and deafening noise, a violent and radiant lightning sphere appeared in Yu's left hand.
The magnificent sight immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the area.
"What is this?"
"What kind of ninjutsu is this?!"
Seeing Yu suddenly display this jutsu in the training ground, everyone present was shocked because they had never seen this ninjutsu before.
"That visible chakra?!"
"What a joke! A jutsu of this level?!"
"How could it appear on a kid who hasn't even graduated from the ninja academy?!"
Among the onlookers, a senior ninja couldn't help but exclaim.
After all, at this point in time, no one had ever witnessed a lightning-release jutsu like this one.
Kakashi Hatake was only 11 years old and hadn't developed this A-rank Lightning Release jutsu yet.
"A forbidden jutsu!"
"It's actually a forbidden jutsu!"
"That kid can use a jutsu of this level?!"
Furthermore, upon hearing the faint sounds of the Thousand Birds jutsu emanating from the training ground at a distance, even the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was observing through his crystal ball in his office, as well as Danzo Shimura and the other high-ranking officials of Konoha, all showed expressions of shock.
"I've never seen a Lightning Release jutsu like that... Could it be that it's his own?"
Being known as the "Ninja Professor" the Third Hokage was proficient in five elemental natures of ninjutsu. However, at this moment, he found himself stunned, realizing that he had never seen a Lightning Release jutsu like this before.
In his wise and experienced eyes, there had never been a moment as surprising as this.
