Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Not Wearing Anything?
In a room within the examination venue, Minato Namikaze and Hiruzen Sarutobi watched Shūichi Hoshita and Yūjin Uchiha's battle through the surveillance screen.
"To be able to fully execute the Dance of the Crescent Moon in such a short time, it seems that Shūichi has quite a talent for kenjutsu," Hiruzen Sarutobi praised.
Minato Namikaze nodded with a smile, "Yes, Third Hokage-sama. Shūichi has indeed made great progress in kenjutsu, and his natural reflexes give him a significant advantage in close combat."
Hiruzen Sarutobi added, "If he also has sensitivity to sensory and spatial techniques, he could be an ideal candidate for learning the Flying Thunder God Technique."
Minato nodded again, "Indeed, I've considered that as well, but it's still too early for Shūichi at the moment."
Although Shūichi's chakra reserves had recently seen a significant increase, they were still not at the level required to practice the Flying Thunder God Technique.
...
After the second round of exams, Shūichi and his teammates continued their training.
At noon, Shūichi returned to Konoha Hospital to have lunch with Yakushi Nono. In the afternoon, it was time to endure another round of Tsunade's brutal training.
Seeing the exhausted Shūichi panting heavily, Tsunade teased him with a mischievous grin, "Hey, kid, are you done for?"
Woman, you've picked the wrong person to mess with!
Shūichi gritted his teeth in frustration, pulling out a soldier pill and swallowing it.
Feeling his energy quickly returning, Shūichi took a deep breath and launched himself at Tsunade with the speed of a rabbit.
"Finally taking the initiative?"
Tsunade raised an eyebrow, not particularly concerned.
But in the next moment, she was caught off guard as Shūichi unleashed the Fireball Jutsu without forming any hand seals.
A fireball came rushing at her, and Tsunade quickly leaped back to dodge it, "Seems like I haven't gathered enough intel on you!"
"Of course, Lady Tsunade, there's a lot about me that's worth exploring."
"Now it's my turn to attack."
"In real combat, you can't always be on the defensive, constantly thinking about how to prepare medical ninjutsu in advance."
As Shūichi spoke, he leaped into the air, spitting out a barrage of fireballs that engulfed Tsunade.
Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Tsunade dodged repeatedly, but in the chaos, she lost sight of Shūichi.
"He's behind me..."
Tsunade turned in midair and threw a punch, but it hit nothing but air.
"Not good!"
She realized something was wrong behind her, but it was too late.
Tsunade concluded the day's training, saying, "Your reactions are quick, but your techniques still need more refinement. We'll continue tomorrow!"
She had nearly been bested by a mere genin today. It was a sign that she needed to get back into training herself. Her speed and reaction time had clearly declined from lack of practice.
As Tsunade walked away, Shūichi couldn't help but reflect on what had just happened.
It seemed... she wasn't wearing anything?
His hand twitched instinctively, but Shūichi quickly suppressed the urge.
Pervert!
Such a pervert!
Shūichi shook off the thought and left the training ground to find Kakashi.
With no missions to distract him, he needed to get as many sparring matches in with Kakashi as possible. The sooner he could unlock the Taijutsu Expert tag, the sooner he could further enhance his physical abilities.
Physical strength is the foundation of everything!
Before sunset, Shūichi had not only scored another taijutsu victory over Kakashi, but he had also made progress toward unlocking the Kenjutsu Expert tag.
However, his victories weren't due to superior swordsmanship or kenjutsu techniques, but rather his exceptional reaction speed.
But a win is a win, and the tag system recognized it as such.
Now, all Shūichi needed was to fully master the Dance of the Crescent Moon, and he would unlock the Kenjutsu Expert tag.
On July 8th, in the 39th year of Konoha, at 10:00 AM.
The third round of the Chūnin Exams began, with Shūichi's team facing off against another squad.
By sheer coincidence, the opposing team included Yūjin Uchiha, who had lost to Shūichi in the second round.
While they weren't exactly enemies, Yūjin glared at Shūichi and Shisui Uchiha with intense hatred.
"I'll take care of Shisui Uchiha and that Kurama Sanyō. You two need to be cautious of Shūichi Hoshita—he's incredibly fast!" Yūjin warned his two teammates.
They both nodded in agreement. "Don't worry!"
They had watched Shūichi's battle with Yūjin yesterday and knew just how strong he was.
On the other side, Shisui said, "I'll handle Yūjin."
Shūichi and Kurama Sanyō had no objections.
Sharingan against Sharingan—it couldn't be more fitting.
