"How would I know? Maybe Jianren just didn't like that good-for-nothing. This duel was completely one-sided."

“You’re wrong about that. I heard from my aunt’s brother’s grandfather’s granddaughter that that good-for-nothing beat Bai Jingxiu in their class.”

"That's absolutely a rumor. I don't believe that good-for-nothing can defeat Bai Jingxiuming!"

Only Zhang Ye's classmates knew about his defeat of Bai Jingxiuming. Students from other classes unanimously believed it was fake, as no good could possibly defeat a genius like Bai Jingxiuming.

"Danzo, what's going on with all these people?" the Third Hokage asked in an unfriendly tone.

Very few people knew about this duel, and since it was a day off, the news couldn't have spread so quickly.

"What, Sarutobi, are you worried?" Danzo still looked lifeless, but the hint of smugness in his eyes did not escape the Third Hokage's notice.

The Third Hokage lowered his head, concealing his thoughts, and said calmly, "Danzo, you've gone too far this time!"

"Hmph, whether you pass or not is not up to you. A life-or-death duel is meant to end with one side dying. Izayoi Zhang Ye's bloodline limit has just awakened, so he can't possibly be a match for Uchiha Kento. With so many people around, if Zhang Ye is saved, what face will you, as Hokage, have left? I'm doing this for your own good!"

Danzo spoke with a resolute expression, as if saying, "If I don't go to hell, who will?"

"You'll only hurt them by doing this!" the Third Hokage said coldly.

The "they" he was referring to were the three legendary Sannin of Konoha.

"Hmph, I don't care about that. I only care about the Hokage's reputation!" Danzo said coldly.

Many people outside the venue were getting impatient; it would be four o'clock in a minute.

"Why aren't they here yet? Are they scared?" one of the Uchiha clan children asked with disdain.

A Uchiha next to him echoed, "That's for sure! How could that good-for-nothing compare to our Uchiha clan's genius, Kento? His presence would only be a disgrace; he'd be better off not coming at all!"

"Hey, look, isn't that Zhang Ye?"

The two looked over at the sound and exclaimed in astonishment, "It really is! He's really planning to utterly humiliate himself?"

Zhang Ye sneered at their mockery and stepped into the training field.

"You've finally come. I thought you were too scared to come!" Uchiha Kento sneered.

"How do you write the word 'fear'? Teach me!"

Zhang Ye smiled slightly and replied indifferently.

Uchiha Kento frowned. "All talk and no action, let's settle this with our fists!"

After speaking, Jianren stepped forward, took out ten cross-shaped shuriken from his ninja tool bag, and quickly threw them out.

Whizzing!

In an instant, ten shuriken turned into black afterimages, five of which locked onto Zhang Ye's vital points, while the remaining five blocked Zhang Ye's escape route!

This is the shuriken throwing technique of the Uchiha clan. Among the Uchiha, from those nearing their death to three-year-old children, the vast majority possess exquisite throwing skills.

It's very difficult to dodge all of these attacks.

Since we can't avoid it, we might as well not try to avoid it at all!

Faced with ten shuriken flying towards him, Zhang Ye took out a shuriken from his waist pouch. A red glint flashed in his eyes. He bent down slightly, bent his arm, and held the shuriken in his backhand. A faint red mist enveloped the shuriken.

The shuriken slashed downwards in Zhang Ye's hand.

Zzzzz!!

A dark red wall of fire appeared in front of him. The shuriken struck the wall of fire and turned into molten iron, which fell to the ground.

"This is impossible!"

"How can one instantly cast a ninjutsu without hand seals?"

The entire audience erupted in uproar, and even Danzo couldn't help but glance at Zhang Ye a few more times.

"As expected, his bloodline limit has awakened!" The Third Hokage said calmly, giving two instructions to the person beside him. A figure wearing a white cat mask quickly leaped up from the tree.

It was none other than the elite unit under the Third Hokage, the Dark Guard.

Everyone's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, their faces filled with disbelief.

Among the crowd, a blond boy stood out. His eyes gleamed with surprise, clearly showing his curiosity and astonishment at Zhang Ye's abilities.

"Is this his ability? Why is it different from last time?"

This boy was none other than Minato Namikaze, a popular figure at school. He had come to watch because he heard that Zhang Ye was going to duel with Kento Uchiha.

In the arena, Uchiha Kento was also taken aback. He hadn't expected Zhang Ye to be able to instantly unleash a ninjutsu. Judging from the power of this move, it had clearly reached the level of a D-rank ninjutsu.

What did you do?

Zhang Ye didn't answer his question. Instead, he suddenly threw the shuriken in his hand at him and charged towards him with his right fist clenched.

Seeing this, Uchiha Kento also became furious.

This guy actually dared not answer his question and completely ignored him!

"You think you can beat me just because you know some weird ninjutsu? You arrogant bastard, today I'll show you the strongest ability of the Uchiha clan!"

His eyes widened, and his originally dark pupils turned scarlet, with two tomoe lying quietly on them.

The shuriken Zhang Ye threw burst into flames less than three meters from Jianren, turning into a crimson fireball.

"what?"

Upon seeing the approaching fireball, Uchiha Taketo quickly dodged to the side.

At the same time, he lightly touched the ground with his toes and went to meet it.

“Your speed is too slow in my Sharingan!” Uchiha Kento said coldly.

"Is that so?" Zhang Ye smiled slightly. "That's not necessarily true!"

boom!

A burst of flame shot out from his elbow, and Zhang Ye's speed increased to another level. At the same time, a scorching flame also ignited on his fist.

Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!

Jianren sensed something was wrong and flung out several steel wires with both hands, quickly forming hand seals.

The four earthly branches: Si, Chen, Mao, and Yin.

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"

A huge dragon-shaped flame shot towards Zhang Ye along the silk thread.

The enormous flames seemed to disappear into Zhang Ye's eyes as if they were nothing, rushing straight in.

But Jianren's moves did not end there. He immediately began to form hand seals, puffing out his cheeks as sparks escaped from the corners of his mouth.

Zi Yin Xu Chou is Mao Yin!

"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"

After seeing Kento finish his C-rank ninjutsu, he immediately followed up with a B-rank ninjutsu. Keep in mind that even many Chunin might not be able to use B-rank ninjutsu. Kento Uchiha isn't even a Genin, yet he was able to use a B-rank ninjutsu.

"Xiao Ye!"

When Jiraiya saw Zhang Ye in danger, he wanted to go forward to save him, but he was stopped by an ANBU member wearing a white cat mask. His silver hair was particularly dazzling under the sun.

"White Teeth!"

"The Hokage said you are not allowed to act on your own!" White Fang said coldly.

"But……"

Jiraiya looked at Zhang Ye, who was surrounded by flames in the arena, and felt extremely anxious.

"Don't worry, he won't die!" White Fang said calmly.

Off the field, their expressions showed even greater surprise.

"With a C-rank ninjutsu and a B-rank ninjutsu, that good-for-nothing Zhang Ye is definitely dead!"

"Of course, that's a B-rank ninjutsu!"

After unleashing his C-rank and B-rank ninjutsu, Kento smiled, exhausted.

I won!

Suddenly, everyone was stunned by the flickering flames in the arena.

"The flavor of this flame is alright, but it's a bit bland!"

Chapter Sixteen: Rejecting the Hokage

"What did he just say?" a man asked in surprise.

Another person swallowed hard, "It sounds like they're saying... flames taste good, right?"

The flames enveloping Zhang Ye grew smaller and smaller, eventually disappearing from Zhang Ye's mouth.

"call……"

He raised his hand to wipe away a non-existent "stain" from the corner of his mouth, saying, "The power will surge out once I eat it!"

This is Natsu's classic line. He always comes back and says this after eating the flames. Zhang Ye thinks it's quite fitting to say this now.

"This is impossible!"

Uchiha Kento was completely stunned by Zhang Ye's actions.

Seeing Jianren's dazed look, a crimson magic circle flashed in Zhang Ye's eyes.

At the same time, take a deep breath and quickly clench your fists and place them near your mouth.

"The Roar of the Fire Dragon!"

This move immediately caused a stir.

"Another fire jutsu without hand seals! Just how many techniques does this guy know that don't require hand seals?"

"In terms of power, it's in no way weaker than Uchiha Taketo's Dragon Fire Technique!"

The powerful flames of the fire dragon crashed towards Jianren, who was now completely unable to resist. He stood there, stunned.

Boom!!

The eruption of the dragon's flames stunned everyone present, and all the students couldn't help but step back, their hair twisted from the intense heat and scorching heat.
