Naruto starts from the Otsutsuki bloodline

Chapter 136 What is the Second Hokage?! Main Quest Completed (Second Update)
The Jonin Exams are not just about fighting.

It's no joke that Kitagawa Gen was forced by Kakashi to read so many books and memorize so much stuff back then.

There will be plenty of theoretical assessments, but these assessments are not difficult for him, after all, he is a liberal arts student.

However, there won't be many of these tests, since he has defeated the Fourth Raikage, so many things will be taken care of.

"Boy, are you ready?"

Jiraiya rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the stage with Kitagawa Gen. He couldn't help but smile and ask in a low voice.

"Actually, they're all pretty much the same. I can't use Sage Mode anyway, so it's all the same to me."

Kitagawa Gen blinked and deliberately touched his chin.

"So, you're planning to use it? Should I wait for you?"

"You little rascal, why are you so annoying?"

Jiraiya couldn't laugh anymore; his Sage Mode wasn't as smooth as Kitagawa Gen's.

"Tch, I don't know how to use it either, don't worry."

"Actually, there's no chance, right?"

"You little rascal, you're really annoying!"

The two chatted and laughed along the way, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.

Meanwhile, in the stands, Tsunade stood next to Hiruzen Sarutobi and muttered something unpleasant.

"Old man, are you finally giving up on pretending?"

"?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi blinked, looking at Tsunade with a puzzled expression.

"Isn't this a normal assessment?"

"Tch, his previous assessments were way too easy, weren't they?"

Tsunade raised an eyebrow, while Hiruzen Sarutobi wore a wide smile.

"Aside from some calculation issues, everything else is great. We can make up for the shortcomings gradually. Kakashi became a Jonin much more easily than him."

"Pshaw, that was during wartime."

Tsunade shook her head, but she didn't dwell on it, after all, she had witnessed Kitagawa Gen's strength.

Moreover, during this time studying with her, she witnessed Kitagawa Gen's outrageous talent, though her personality was somewhat difficult for her to assess.

"Okay, let's not talk about this."

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't bother to say anything about 'it can be added later,' since Gen Kitagawa and Jiraiya were already on stage.

"Barrier team, prepare."

"Yes."

The barrier team immediately began setting up a barrier, as the two combatants needed to be restricted to a certain extent, at least preventing them from attacking outside the barrier.

"So."

Sensing the invisible barrier rising, Hiruzen Sarutobi issued the command at the opportune moment.

"The assessment begins!"

At his command, Kitagawa Gen and Jiraiya, who had already completed the 'Seal of Opposition', immediately moved.

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"

Without any hesitation, Kitagawa Gen switched the seals, and in an instant, a roaring fire dragon rushed towards Jiraiya!

"I knew you'd do this! Fire Release: Flame Bullet!"

Jiraiya grumbled, "Kitagawa Gen never misses an opportunity," but he immediately launched a counterattack.

The two flames collided instantly, and the raging flames continued to rise within the barrier!
"That fire jutsu technique is impressive."

"This kid is indeed extraordinary; no wonder he was able to participate in the assessment at such a young age."

"I heard he has some impressive skills, but unfortunately they're kept secret."

"That's really impressive."

The mere clash of fire-style techniques had already surprised the surrounding Jonin, especially since Kitagawa Gen was performing hand seals with only one hand.

This requires a high level of control over chakra, proficiency in techniques, and mastery of timing!

"Kakashi, aren't you worried?"

On Kakashi's side, Asuma couldn't help but ask a question in a low voice.

"Although he is very capable and has many tricks up his sleeve, you are too calm right now."

His words made Ebisu and Genma Shiranui look over as well. This time, not only Jonin came to watch the battle, but also Special Jonin.

"Don't worry, Yuan is very capable."

Kakashi didn't say anything, but Guy laughed beside him, and Kakashi could only nod.

"He has a lot of tricks up his sleeve."

As they were speaking, a kunai suddenly flashed within the barrier, and the next moment everyone saw that the kunai split into countless others!

"Ninja Art: Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique".

"Flying Thunder God?"

Jiraiya was well aware of Kitagawa Gen's tactics, and he didn't hesitate to form hand seals again.

"Fire Release·Big Flame Bullet!"

In an instant, he unleashed a torrent of flames that swept across the sky!

All the kunai were engulfed by his flames. He knew all too well the terror of the Flying Thunder God, and he didn't want these kunai to get close.

"He should be banned from using Flying Thunder God Technique; it's too cheating."

Jiraiya silently recited the mantra to himself, then formed the hand seals again.

"Earth Escape·Yellow Spring Marsh."

The ground immediately turned into a swamp, both to stop Kitagawa Gen's actions and to prepare for the next technique.

"Barrier - Heavenly Canopy Formation!"

As his chakra expanded, Jiraiya silently set up a sensory barrier.

The Flying Thunder God Technique is too strange. If he can't perceive Kitagawa Gen's actions from all angles, or even the direction of those kunai, then he can't stand it!

"Hmm, you're here?"

Just then, he suddenly sensed that Kitagawa Gen had entered the barrier and was rapidly approaching.

"This kid is really fast."

In the blink of an eye, Kitagawa Gen was already in front of him, and the White Fang Short Sword was instantly drawn.

"Hmm? He didn't use Lightning Release?"

Jiraiya was somewhat surprised, but the next moment his eyes widened in astonishment.

"Water Release: Water Blade Slash".

A surge of water-style chakra instantly enveloped the white dagger, carrying the power of high-pressure water-style chakra as it descended directly upon Jiraiya.

"Water escape?"

Tsunade, standing outside, raised an eyebrow; that strange sense of déjà vu suddenly returned. "Water Release?"

Jiraiya was also puzzled, but he reacted quickly, leaping up to dodge the attack while simultaneously clasping his hands together.

"The technique of messing up the lion's hair!"

The sharp hair, like steel needles, hurtled towards Kitagawa Gen at lightning speed, but in an instant, Kitagawa Gen also changed his move.

"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall."

The surrounding water burst forth, forming a rotating wall of water that blocked Kitagawa Gen's path and also obscured Jiraiya's hair.

The ground suddenly rippled slightly, which startled Jiraiya, who immediately jumped up.

"Water escape·water rushes into waves."

He had just left when a surge of water suddenly appeared where he had been standing.

The water, which was spinning and rising rapidly like a tornado, instantly transformed into a waterfall and rushed towards him.

"This little devil"

A bead of cold sweat appeared on Jiraiya's forehead; he seemed to know what Kitagawa Gen was planning to do.

Meanwhile, in the stands, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tsunade both raised their eyebrows, realizing something as well.

"Water Escape·Water Breaking Wave."

Kitagawa Gen didn't stop; the moment Jiraiya landed, he launched another attack.

The turbulent water flowed apart rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, a straight jet of water with extremely high pressure was already hurtling towards him!
"Hey, are you trying to kill me?"

Jiraiya cursed under his breath, but his hands didn't stop moving at all.

"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"

boom--

The ground rumbled, and the next moment a huge and thick earthen wall rose up from the ground, and he had set up more than one wall.

He was well aware of the power of this technique, and even though Earth Release counters Water Release, he dared not be negligent in the slightest.

hum-

Sure enough, the moment the water surged across, the earthen wall was torn apart, but Jiraiya had already jumped up.

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"

Without the slightest hesitation, he launched his attack, the raging flames dancing like a raging dragon fiercely attacking Kitagawa Gen!
"Water Release·Water Dragon Bite Explosion!"

At that moment, Kitagawa Genya retaliated swiftly, and a huge column of water suddenly rose from the ground, transforming into a giant dragon that fiercely attacked Jiraiya.

boom--

The moment the Water Release and Fire Release techniques intertwined, a tremendous roar suddenly resounded.

The barrier that was blocking them now appeared crooked and twisted, as if it could hardly withstand the impact of the two.

"That's amazing!"

"That Kitagawa Gen has so much chakra? He's going to fight Jiraiya-sama in ninjutsu and he's not at all at a disadvantage?"

"This is incredible! It seems that Konoha has produced another genius!"

The Jonin watching from all sides clicked their tongues in amazement, but Asuma stared wide-eyed for a while before finally asking a question.

"Isn't he skilled in Lightning Release? He's also mastered Lightning Release: Chakra Mode and the Flying Thunder God Technique, so how come..."

"He knows so many things, how to play him is entirely up to him, besides..."

Kakashi couldn't say anything more. He couldn't very well say that his disciple had a terrible personality and would always do something funny, could he?
"They're moving!"

Just as he was pondering, Akai suddenly shouted, and everyone's attention was once again focused on the barrier.

In the hazy smoke, Kitagawa Gen's figure leaped forward in an instant, and he was already beside Jiraiya in a flash.

Moreover, in his hands, there was a technique that swirled, layered, and rapidly rotating, condensing into the shape of a water spear!
"That's... Water Release: Hard Whirlpool Water Blade? Oh no, what's he going to do?"

Many people had already recognized the technique, but it was too late to stop it. At that moment, Kitagawa Genya smashed directly into Jiraiya!
boom--

Another roar followed, but the next moment Jiraiya's figure shattered and turned into a pool of water.

Clearly, this is a water clone!

"Gotcha, kid."

The next moment, Jiraiya's body suddenly emerged from underwater, revealing a smug smile!

He suddenly reached out and grabbed Kitagawa Gen's arm, but he quickly saw a smile on Kitagawa Gen's face as well.

"This is inside a water-style escape technique, Jiraiya-sama. Besides, have you forgotten what I'm best at?"

"broken!"

Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, and his expression changed drastically. Kitagawa Gen in front of him transformed into a bolt of lightning, and the purple lightning instantly covered the entire surface of the water!
"Lightning clone! That bastard!"

Jiraiya couldn't help but curse, and his body turned into water again. From beneath the surface, another Jiraiya emerged.

Clearly, this was his true form, but he couldn't help but curse and grumble, because Kitagawa Gen had been using Water Release the whole time.

After all, this assessment was more like a friendly competition, and he thought the kid would stick with it to the end.

As it turns out, this guy is incredibly shameless!

call out--

Just then, a kunai suddenly flew towards him from not far away. Jiraiya, whose body was paralyzed in mid-air, was unable to react at all.

The next instant, Kitagawa Gen appeared beside him, supporting him with one hand and gently landing him on the water.

"Thank you for your guidance, you lecherous immortal."

As soon as he landed, Kitagawa Gen spoke with a big smile, while simultaneously forming a 'reconciliation seal'.

"You're as wicked as ever."

Jiraiya pursed his lips, but he was also magnanimous. He also formed a 'reconciliation seal' and smiled as he spoke.

"But that's what ninjas are like. Congratulations, you've passed the test."

[Complete the second stage of the main quest: Become a Jonin]

[Rewards are being counted]

As soon as Jiraiya finished speaking, Kitagawa Gen discovered that the system had already jumped, which made him extremely happy.

He was also incredibly curious about what the system would bring him this time.

"Old man."

What he didn't know was that Tsunade, outside the barrier, had already hardened her fist.

"What exactly did you do?"

"I never expected him to do this."

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt somewhat awkward, but at the same time, he was filled with nostalgia.

Kitagawa Gen's Water Release technique was exactly the same as his teacher's, so smooth and fluid.

Even though he ultimately used Lightning Release, it seemed more in line with his teacher's style.
How could this not make him feel emotional?

However, he was also somewhat embarrassed, because he felt...
"I think I was taken advantage of?"
