Naruto: The Tavern Speech Begins to Make the Land of Rain Great

Unfortunately, Yahiko's talent was somewhat mediocre compared to Konan and Nagato.

It took him a full five days to learn the chakra refining technique.

The chakra nature is also limited to the single water nature.

But compared to the average person, this is still quite outstanding.

If nothing unexpected happens, becoming a Jonin in the future should be no problem at all.

Although Rin didn't know where Watanabe Tetsu had found these three little prodigies, out of appreciation for their talent, Rin imparted all her knowledge to them as much as possible within a month.

Today is the day the three of them will be assessed to become Genin.

Once they pass Rin's test and gain the strength of a genin, Watanabe will agree to take them as his students.

Looking at the three people who seemed both excited and frustrated, Rin asked.

Why are you looking so dejected?

"If we become Watanabe's disciples, will Rin-sensei stop teaching us?"

So that's what you were thinking about.

Rin smiled; he was still very happy that these three children cared about him.

This also proves that his efforts in this short period of time were not in vain.

What is the most valuable trait of a ninja?

It's not the five elemental chakras, nor is it overwhelming strength, but rather a resolute and grateful heart.

Refuse to compromise with this damned ninja world, stand firm in your beliefs, and do the right thing.

Only with such a belief can one truly stand at the pinnacle of the ninja world.

In Rin's opinion, although these three people started a little late, their talent and personality were outstanding.

Thinking of this, Rin patted the heads of the three people one by one.

"Your teacher will always be your teacher. What Watanabe taught you, your teacher can teach you as well."

Rin looked at the three people whose eyes had regained their light, slowly stood up, and took out a kunai from her pocket.

"Come on, show me your full strength and see just how powerful you are."

"Teacher, please enlighten me."

The three retreated, forming a triangular formation.

Yahiko was the first to launch an attack, throwing out a kunai with his right hand.

He then took out a kunai from his waist and kicked forward with all his might.

The kunai, once thrown out, flew out quickly, leaving a "whoosh" sound as it cut through the air.

"Good speed."

Rin slightly shifted her position, dodging the attack of the kunai.

Seeing Yahiko following closely behind, Rin kicked out with her left foot without even looking at him.

Yahiko, who was originally rushing towards Rin, was kicked away and slammed into the wall, shaking off a layer of dust.

What followed was Konan's feint attack.

Taking advantage of the brief lull in Yahiko's attack, she stepped forward and thrust her kunai straight at Rin.

Rin, however, reached out and grabbed Konan's wrist without a care.

He then stretched out his leg, trying to kick Xiao Nan away.

But just then, a figure attacked from behind Rin.

Rin slightly turned her body to the side, dodging Nagato's attack.

But it was this dodge that allowed Xiao Nan, who had been captured, to break free of her restraints.

She took a few steps back, and casually flung the kunai in her hand.

Rin grabbed the kunai in mid-air and threw it back at Nagato, who was behind her.

"The performance was not bad."

Rin clapped her hands as she watched the group work together perfectly, but her expression darkened again.

"But that's still not enough to become a genin."

Rin formed hand seals, creating afterimages with each seal.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique".

Rin exhaled softly, and a surging flame flew out like a fire dragon.

The crimson flames scorched the air, and a serious look appeared in the eyes of Yahiko and the other two.

"Water Release: Water Chaos Waves!"

Yahiko and Nagato instantly used the Water Release ninjutsu they had learned this month.

A jet of water shot out from its mouth and rushed towards the surging flames.

The collision of fire and water instantly created a large amount of white mist.

Rin looked at Nagato and Yahiko with some satisfaction; this Great Fireball was almost at the Chunin level of Fire Release.

However, Nagato and Yahiko were able to resolve the situation.

Before Rin could praise them, a figure rushed out from the white mist.

Konan, wielding a kunai, charged straight at Rin.

Rin was completely unafraid and delivered a side kick.

However, Konan's body, which had been hit, turned into pieces of paper and flew behind Rin.

The next second, a fierce attack was launched from behind Rin.

The kunai was thrust straight at Rin, but the instant it touched her, Rin's body turned into white smoke.

But then a figure appeared behind Konan, holding a kunai and pressing it against her back in the same way.

But in that instant, Rin felt a kunai flying at an extremely fast speed toward the hand that was holding Konan back.

Rin stopped what she was doing and looked at Nagato, who was panting heavily not far away.

"Wind Release: Gale Palm!"

Nagato slowly called out the name of the ninjutsu, then looked at Konan, who had run out of Rin's attack range.

Rin nodded in satisfaction as she watched the three of them work together seamlessly.

"Not bad. If you have this kind of strength, you can barely be considered a genin."

Nagato, in particular, was able to learn two ninjutsu of different chakra natures in just one month.

Konan's paper escape, Yahiko's water escape.

Both are at a pretty good level.

These three are definitely strong enough to be genin.

However, Rin wanted to force them to reveal their true strength.

Strength under dire circumstances.

Rin's smile didn't fade; he smiled as chakra gathered at his feet.

The next moment, his figure disappeared.

When it reappeared, it was already in front of Nagato.

Nagato's eyes widened; before he could even see clearly, Rin had already appeared in front of him.

He didn't even have time to block.

Extend your leg and push off.

Nagato's figure flew straight out and crashed heavily into the wall.

"cough."

A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of Nagato's mouth. He propped himself up with one arm and wiped his mouth with the other.

He then staggered to his feet, his face filled with resentment.

"Rin-sensei, again."

Rin raised an eyebrow.

It's very resilient.

He instantly appeared in front of Nagato and unleashed another powerful kick.

This time, however, Nagato stretched out his arms to block in front of him.

But the immense force still sent him flying like a kite with a broken string.

Rin looked at Nagato with some admiration.

He could sense that the other person was gradually improving.

He turned to look at Yahiko and Konan, who were standing in front of Nagato.

Let's put some pressure on you guys too.

After all, in a few years, he might not be able to beat these three.

While we still have the chance to bully them, let's do it while we can.

...

ten minutes later,

The three collapsed on the training field; their strength no longer allowed them to stand up and continue fighting.

Rin had to admit that the three of them were quite resilient.

It's that kind of tenacity that never gives up.

However strong they are mentally, they are only at the level of Genin now.

There's no way you could defeat an elite Jonin.

"Alright, you guys should take a rest."

"Ms. Rin, does that mean we've passed the test?"

Rin paused for two seconds before speaking.

"Congratulations, you have now reached the level of a Genin."

The three people lying on the ground had long since lost the energy to celebrate.

However, a smile had already crept onto the lips of all three of them.

Watanabe-sensei! We're here!
