Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled slightly, gave a nonchalant reply, and then gave a few instructions to the ninja beside him.

The examiner, having received the instructions, nodded immediately and then leaped onto the main field.

"The fact that you are here proves that you are the pride of this year's class, the most outstanding children."

"The Hokage is up there. He will be watching you closely. Show him your best!"

The home examiners seemed to be seasoned veterans, definitely not hosting such a grand event for the first time; every word they uttered stirred the passion within them.

With that, the home game assessment has officially begun!

They will be divided into eight groups to compete.

"The first match: Izayoi Zhang Ye versus Uchiha Zhihui!"

Looking at the list arranged in his hand, the chief examiner raised his hand and announced.

The very first match attracted everyone's attention.

Even Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but become serious.

Although Zhang Ye's fame has soared during this period, it is still not as high as that of Uchiha Zhihui.

Uchiha Shiki was quite famous in Konoha and was known as "White Fang".

White Fang wasn't his teacher, but rather someone whose weapon was also a silver-white short blade, extremely similar to White Fang's.

What truly made him famous was a competition a year earlier.

That time, an accident occurred. A rogue ninja escaped from the ninjas who were escorting him and encountered Uchiha Shiki in the downtown area.

Seeing that he was blocking his way, and realizing that Zhihui was just a child, he felt contempt and wanted to kill Zhihui in one fell swoop.

But to everyone's surprise, he was killed by Uchiha Shiki, who slit his throat with a single blow.

Because of his swift and decisive actions, reminiscent of White Teeth, he is affectionately known as "Little White Teeth" by many.

After this incident, he was personally instructed in cultivation by a highly respected member of the family, and it is unknown how much his strength has increased over the course of the year.

That's why this battle has attracted so much attention.

Many Jonin couldn't help but perk up, looking down at Uchiha Zhihui and Zhang Ye with a scrutinizing gaze.

They weren't just spectators; they were there to select students they were satisfied with.

The winners who make it here are unlikely to be grouped into the same class. They will be scattered and assigned one person with weaker skills and another person with healing abilities.

"The first match is with Xiao Ye. I want to see carefully what kind of strength this child, whom Tsunade and Jiraiya have such faith in, really has!"

On the high platform, Orochimaru's lips curled slightly, revealing a hint of curiosity.

Jiraiya slapped Orochimaru on the shoulder and laughed, "You'll definitely see something amazing! Just wait and see!"

In the field.

Zhang Ye and Uchiha Zhihui walked onto the stage.

Meanwhile, Minato Namikaze was watching Zhang Ye and Zhihui's every move from the sidelines. As expected, these two would be strong obstacles to his championship victory.

A fierce glint flashed in Uchiha Shiki's eyes.

He had naturally heard of Zhang Ye's deeds, but what angered him most was the death of his brother, Uchiha Masahiko.

He learned from his father that the person who killed his brother was the unassuming Zhang Ye in front of him.

He clenched his fists involuntarily. If he accidentally killed his opponent here, he would have an excuse. After all, accidental injuries are inevitable in battle, and if he died, he could only blame fate!

"Izayoi Zhang Ye, is it? Today I'll show you just how powerful the Uchiha clan really is. You're doomed to lose!"

Chapter Twenty-Five: The Western-Style Clothes Collapse

A young man with long, straight black hair and white cataracts, dressed in a kimono, sighed in the audience.

"It's a pity he ran into Uchiha Shiki in the very first match, otherwise, with his strength, he could have easily made it into the top three. Sigh..."

The speaker was Hyuga Takuya, a member of the Hyuga clan. He was the cousin of Hyuga Hiashi, the future head of the Hyuga clan, a member of the main branch, and the most talented person in his generation of the Hyuga clan.

They are said to be the people with the best chance of reaching the same level as their ancestors.

"Hmph, are you showing off the superiority of your large family?"

Kushina couldn't stand it and retorted.

“Little brat, others may be afraid because you’re Tsunade’s niece, but I’m not. Our Hyuga clan is one of Konoha’s top noble families. In terms of status and background, we’re no less than you!” Hyuga Takuya retorted defiantly. “Besides, everyone in the village knows how strong Uchiha Shiki is. It’s not shameful at all that Izayoi Zhang Ye lost to him!”

He's right. Many people believe that Zhang Ye was definitely going to lose this match.

In the field.

Zhang Ye calmly looked at Uchiha Zhihui and said, "Anyone can talk big, and the outcome of this match is still uncertain. Don't be so hasty in drawing conclusions!"

The enmity between himself and the Uchiha clan was already very deep. To cripple one member and kill another would make the prestigious Uchiha clan lose all face, and for Zhang Ye and his group, killing them would be the only option.

Uchiha Shiki shook his head slightly and said, "No, it's not that I'm rushing to conclusions, but your strength is simply no match for mine, Uchiha Masahiko knows that!"

Zhang Ye still hadn't forgotten the name Uchiha Masahiko. He remembered the person who assassinated him very clearly, and now Uchiha Masahiko's Fubuki was still in his hands.

"He's my brother. A month ago, he was on a mission to kill someone, but he failed. I believe you know what happened, so you know what my purpose is today!"

Haha, after beating up the older brother, why is the younger brother coming? Shouldn't it be the grandfather or uncle who comes?

Do you think you've already won?

"I know you are proficient in Fire Release and Taijutsu. Although our Uchiha clan is also famous for Fire Release, I am different. I am proficient in Water Release, and my Genjutsu completely counters Taijutsu!"

Uchiha Shiki spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Possessing the Sharingan, coupled with unique genjutsu, he is indeed a formidable opponent for many masters of taijutsu.

However, Zhang Ye was different. He was not proficient in any kind of physical techniques. All he had was the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets, which he had tried with Jiraiya. Many illusions had no effect on Zhang Ye at all.

Whenever the Yin energy of illusionary techniques invades his brain, it is often annihilated by the energy of the Dragon Armor.

Don't forget, the Crimson Dragon Emperor's gauntlet is inhabited by the Crimson Dragon Emperor Dreig, who, along with the White Dragon Emperor, once devoured the leaders of the three major forces: demons, angels, and fallen angels.

How could mere illusions affect Zhang Ye's ability to act?

"The first match begins!"

Seeing that both of them were ready, the examiner gave the order and announced the start.

Uchiha Shiki, on the other hand, directly activated his Sharingan, with the three tomoe spinning in his eyes, making him appear exceptionally sinister.

"That's the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan! To awaken the three tomoe at such a young age, he will definitely be the strongest person in the Uchiha clan in the future!"

"Oh, what a pity. Izayoi will definitely lose to the genjutsu of the three-tomoe Sharingan. I was even looking forward to this match."

Looking at the people in the arena, they couldn't help but start discussing it.

A fierce glint flashed in Shimura Danzo's eyes as he stood atop the high platform.

His ideas were actually very similar to those of the Second Hokage. He once believed that the Uchiha clan had a rebellious streak and would inevitably betray Konoha. With such a talented person, Konoha would become the Uchiha clan's backyard if they grew up!

We must eliminate him before he gains power!

Zhang Ye raised his left hand high, and a burst of intense green light flashed, revealing a crimson dragon armor tightly wrapped around his left arm.

"what is that?"

"Weapons?"

"It doesn't look like it?"

The people outside the arena couldn't help but discuss when they saw the dragon armor that appeared out of thin air in Zhang Ye's hand.

Even the Third Generation and the others were drawn to the magnificent dragon armor on Zhang Ye's hands. They could sense that it wasn't a weapon at all, but rather a part of Zhang Ye's body.

"Jiraiya, do you know what's going on with the arm armor on his hand?" the Third Hokage asked.

Jiraiya shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

"Is this his bloodline limit?" the Third Hokage murmured.

A flicker of surprise flashed in Uchiha Shiki's eyes, which he quickly concealed.

"Is this your last resort?" Uchiha Shiki said calmly. "Then you're doomed to lose!"

The three tomoe in his eyes spun wildly, and Zhang Ye, who was looking into his eyes, suddenly felt his head sink.

In an instant, Uchiha Shiki used his most powerful genjutsu, the Mirror Illusion Technique.

Unfortunately, this had no effect on Zhang Ye; the dragon armor flashed with a green light.

"Boost!"

"Is this your illusion magic? How come it didn't work at all?" Zhang Ye mocked.

Uchiha Shiki looked at Zhang Ye in disbelief. The Mirror Illusion Technique was the strongest Sharingan genjutsu he could use right now, how could it have had no effect at all?

An idea popped into his head.

He cannot be controlled by illusions!

On second thought, since genjutsu is useless, I won't use genjutsu anymore. I, Uchiha Shiki, am not just good at genjutsu!

He quickly formed dozens of hand seals.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

A colossal water dragon surged towards Zhang Ye, its power far exceeding that of a typical B-rank ninjutsu.

Many people thought Zhang Ye would lose, but what happened next left them with a lasting impression!

"My dress is ruined!"

Then, Zhang Ye stepped forward and struck out with his palm!

The entire water dragon was like an onion, with each layer being peeled away.

In the original work, Hyoudou Issei only damaged the woman's clothes, but in Zhang Ye's hands, the entire water dragon turned into dozens of layers of water mist and dissipated into the air in one breath.

"How is this possible?" This completely shocked Uchiha Shiki. He never expected that his Water Dragon Bullet Technique would be so easily broken.

However, he refused to believe it and continued to use his powerful water-style ninjutsu.

Zhang Ye did not dismantle his ninjutsu as before. Although this move could break down the enemy's techniques, it consumed too much chakra. Dismantling a Water Dragon Bullet was equivalent to using [Taiwanese Clothing Collapse] more than ten times.
