I'm in Konoha, and I have ten skill slots.

"A swordsmanship for the sake of breathing?"

It seems that this is the only reason: they want to learn the breathing training method from me!

"Danzo! Danzo! You're so concerned about such a trivial swordsmanship!"

"You think too highly of me!"

However, Danzo probably didn't take it too seriously, otherwise he wouldn't have sent only three Root ninjas who weren't even Jonin to deal with him.

They clearly didn't take him seriously, thinking those three people were enough to take him down!

But regardless of whether Danzo took it seriously before, things are different now.

If Danzo makes a move again next time, it won't just be three Chunin-level guys.

Chapter 57 Talent Not Just in Swordsmanship

Shiyu lifted the curtains and peeked out the window.

'The number of ANBU ninjas has increased somewhat!'

'Danzo probably won't make a move tonight, or rather, he won't make a move anytime soon!'

Hiruzen is still the one in charge of Konoha. Danzo's actions will only anger Hiruzen.

Shiyu drew the curtains and lay down on the bed.

Even someone as unassuming as myself can be targeted; it seems I won't be able to keep a low profile anymore.

Since we can't be low-key, let's be a little high-profile!

Being labeled a genius isn't entirely without its advantages.

He glanced at the Great Sage who was still calculating in the system.

There are still more than ten hours left.

After tomorrow's graduation exam, the Ice Release calculation will be complete.

By combining Ice Release with Escape, one's combat power will be further enhanced. In short, it's about improving one's strength, whether it's Danzo or Akatsuki.

If you have the strength, you have nothing to fear!

……

The next day, Shigure arrived at the ninja academy and took up the ninja sword Zangetsu for the first time.

Shigure never carried weapons before.

Shikamaru and the others looked at the ninja sword behind Shigure, and Shikamaru smiled secretly.

Staring at Shigure.

'Is this guy finally going to use that terrifying swordsmanship?' 12

While exchanging pleasantries with everyone, Naruto finally arrived at the school, but he looked rather listless.

He saw Shi Yu and wanted to come over immediately.

But at that moment, Iruka walked in.

"Alright everyone, go back to your seats. The graduation exam was moved up to test your true abilities!"

"Next comes the most important step in your ninja career. If you pass the exam, you will become a full-fledged ninja."

"Otherwise, one would need to go to a regular school to continue learning skills other than ninja skills."

"I hope you all keep up the good work!"

The exam begins.

Although it's called a ninja's graduation exam.

But in reality, it seems no different from the usual tests.

After testing everyone's throwing skills with hidden weapons, they then tested the clone technique!

A group of kids lined up at the door, and one by one they went into the exam room to take individual tests.

Seeing a little devil walk out dejectedly, Shigure slowly pushed open the door and went inside.

Iruka looked up at Shigure.

"Shiyu, you seem to have changed a lot lately. I've heard about what happened at the training ground!"

"How was it? Are you confident about today's exam?"

Judging from Shi Yu's usual grades and performance, passing the exam will not be easy.

Shi Yu nodded easily.

"Have!"

"Alright! Let's begin! Show us your clone technique!"

As soon as Iruka finished speaking, Shigure raised a simple child seal with his left hand!

boom!

A clone appeared beside him.

The clone technique wasn't anything special, but Iruka stared at Shigure with wide eyes in surprise.

Just now!

If he wasn't mistaken, Shigure only used one hand to form the hand seal.

One-handed hand seal?

Moonlight Rain has this kind of talent?

One-handed hand seals are not something that can be mastered through practice; it is a talent, just like a bloodline limit, something one is born with.

Without it, you'll never be able to master it in your entire life.

"Teacher, is it ready now?"

Iruka snapped out of his daze upon hearing Shigure's voice.

Looking at Shi Yu in surprise, he nodded, "It's okay!"

Shigure went outside.

Watching Shigure's retreating figure, Iruka felt for a moment that he might be somewhat unqualified as a teacher.

It's amazing that I didn't know for so long that one of my students possessed such talent.

The graduation exams were over in just one morning.

The exam results finally came out near the end of the afternoon.

Naruto approached Shigure with his headband in hand.

"Thank you so much, Shiyu! If it weren't for your special training yesterday, I probably wouldn't have been able to finish my graduation exam today!"

"It's nothing, didn't you treat me to ramen too?"

Naruto smiled and hooked his arm around Shigure's shoulder. "After I get my mission reward, I'll treat you to Ichiraku Ramen!"

Seeing Naruto and Shigure with their arms around each other, Sasuke snorted and walked past them.

First Release

Shi Yu smiled. Was Er Zhu Zi jealous?

After finishing the exam, Naruto arrived at Shigure's house as promised to help him with a so-called big clean-up.

After it was over, Shigure told Naruto to go home and rest early.

Shigure himself is preparing to embrace his new bloodline limit, Ice Release!

Naruto has now successfully completed his graduation exams, so the plot of him stealing the Scroll of Seals, as depicted in the original story, is unlikely to repeat itself.

It's a bit of a shame now, though, if Naruto had been able to steal the Scroll of Seals.

Then Shigure might have a chance to take a look.

But thinking about it, it's probably unlikely. It's just a scheme set up by three generations. If I really did that...

The consequences could be quite serious.

Inside the Hokage's office right now!

The Third Hokage looked at Iruka and asked, "Really?"

Iruka nodded. "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes, there's no mistake!"

The Third Hokage in front of him picked up Shigure's file and said, "This kid actually has the talent to form hand seals with one hand."

This is indeed surprising.

"Please call Naruto over here!"

The Third Hokage put down the documents in his hand, and Iruka didn't ask any further questions.
