Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.

Look here.

Kirito, who had stepped aside, suddenly spoke.

"Pfft~"

Chizuru's eyes instinctively glanced at Kirito, and then she saw Kirito with a bruised and swollen face pretending to be a pig, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing again.

The Fireball Technique crumbled without a fight.

A mouthful of black gas spewed out from Qianhe's mouth.

Chapter 14: Look Here

"Pfft~, hahaha, what are you doing, wide forehead."

When Nawaki saw Chizuru's embarrassed expression after her failed spell, he immediately burst into laughter.

If Chizuru's previous anger was merely a fit of rage, a desire to teach Nawaki a lesson, then now she truly intends to kill him. This time, she abandons hand seals, pulls out a kunai from her person, and charges at Nawaki, aiming to stab him in the groin.

Nawaki was not flustered. He had already anticipated that his actions would anger Chizuru, and he quickly drew a kunai as well.

With a "ding~" sound.

The two kunai clashed together, sending up a few sparks.

Then, the two engaged in a dozen or so kunai-clashing exchanges.

Despite some difficulty in catching Chizuru's fierce attack, Nawaki managed to catch it steadily and even managed to find an opening in Chizuru's defense to launch a counterattack, but Chizuru easily dodged it.

The battle between the two did not last long, because Wasabi Mitarashi arrived and used her Shadow Clone Technique to subdue them both instantly.

"What are you two doing? This is a school, not a place for you to run wild."

Mitarashi Wasabi said in a cold voice.

"Humph."

Chizuru turned her head away and snorted coldly, clearly not caring about Wasabi Mitarashi's words.

She didn't want to listen to the words of a mere Chunin.

She was now more concerned about the process of fighting with Nawaki. She did not expect that the Thousand Hands Waste from a month ago could now engage in close combat with her and block all her attacks.

Damn it, how could a mere useless Thousand Hands have grown so fast?

She began to understand why the Senju were the Uchiha's formidable rivals.

Rope Tree laughed without a care in the world. He was in a good mood and accepted the punishment.

Grandma, I did it.

I am not useless; my efforts over this period of time have not been in vain.

Since being attacked by Chizuru and Kirito, he began to train hard and diligently carried out all the hard training his grandmother had done except for the sealing technique. He was beaten by his grandmother's love almost every day. After a month of hard work, he finally succeeded in being able to fight Chizuru.

Although he still can't beat Chizuru, at least he won't be toyed with and crushed like he was at the beginning.

This is undoubtedly a huge step forward.

He, Nawaki, truly possesses the qualities of a Hokage.

Kirito wasn't surprised that Nawaki was able to fight Chizuru. Over the past month, he was probably one of the few people who knew best about Nawaki's increased strength.

He was constantly being harassed and challenged by this guy.

How could I not know?

Although Nawaki is only a member of the Kenji clan, like Tsunade, he inherited the bloodline of the top members of the Senju and Uzumaki clans. He may not be as good as Tsunade, but in terms of ninja talent, he is still a genius.

Putting everything else aside, Nawaki's current chakra reserves, comparable to those of a Jonin, guarantee that his future achievements will be substantial.

Nawaki was just too mischievous in the past and didn't train hard, which is why he had a huge amount of chakra but didn't know how to use it.

Furthermore, like Chizuru, Nawaki was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He ate medicinal meals that strengthened his body's foundation every day and took medicinal baths with the same effect, making his body's foundation extremely solid.

Now, thanks to Mito's strict instruction and his own dedication to training, his strength has naturally improved by leaps and bounds.

If Kirito hadn't awakened his Sage Mode, which allowed him to absorb natural energy to improve his physical abilities and gave him top-tier ninja talent, his progress might not have even kept up with the exhaust fumes from Nawaki.

Mitarashi Wasabi was undoubtedly very dissatisfied with Chizuru and Nawaki's attitude, but their backgrounds were terrifying. One was the granddaughter of the Uchiha clan leader, and the other was the grandson of the First Hokage. They were far beyond what she, a Chunin, could afford to offend.

However, who is Mitarashi Wasabi? Since she dared to take over the position from the third generation, she must be afraid of offending people.

If she doesn't discipline these two troublemakers today, her prestige among the students will definitely decline, and it will be difficult for her to get those unruly kids in the class to listen to her in the future.

We can't really fight to the death; this level is about right.

But she had plenty of ways to discipline the brat.

So she immediately said, "You three, go to the playground and do 100 frog jumps and then come back."

"?"

Upon hearing this, Kirito's eyes widened as he stared at Wasabi Mitarashi.

How did he get caught in the crossfire again?

He is innocent.

How could this person be so blind?

Making him do frog jumps in front of the whole school, where would Kirito's face be?

Mitarashi Wasabi ignored Kirito's innocent expression, just stared at him coldly, and then silently raised her fist, whose veins bulged on her back.

The fist hardened.

You can hit them harder.

"I hate unreasonable women the most."

Kirito decisively turned and left.

Nawaki quickly caught up and said to Kirito with a grin, "Only a hundred laps, no big deal, no big deal."

Chizuru didn't go; she wouldn't listen to a mere Chunin.

"If you don't go, then you can expect to be expelled. You're not welcome in my class."

Wasabi Mitarai issues Chizuru a final ultimatum.

She cannot hit Chizuru, but as the class teacher, she can return her.

Chizuru remained completely unmoved by this.

At this moment, Wasabi Mitarai said quietly, "The Uchiha genius was expelled on his first day. I suppose the others are also eager to see the Uchiha make a fool of themselves."

"Humph."

Chizuru snorted coldly, then turned and left.

The honor of the Uchiha clan must not be tarnished.

That despicable Chunin.

"Sigh, I finally managed to get rid of this troublesome Uchiha by using reverse psychology."

When Mitarashi Wasabi saw Chizuru finally obediently accept her punishment, her aloof expression instantly crumbled, and she covered her forehead with her hand, feeling utterly exhausted.

Chizuru's unruly attitude towards her, Nawaki's carefree mischief, and Kirito, who seems innocent but is actually the instigator of conflict, make the three of them the biggest crisis she has encountered in her young coaching career.

"However, these three are indeed geniuses. If I can guide them to become outstanding ninjas, it would be my honor."

Mitarashi Wasabi stood by the window, watching Kirito and his two companions doing frog jumps around the playground at an extremely fast pace, and smiled slightly.

On the playground, Kirito, Chizuru, and Nawaki were all seriously doing frog jumps. It wasn't that they were honestly accepting Mitarai Wasabi's punishment, but rather that they realized this punishment was a duel.

Frog jumps are different from running. Running 100 laps is not difficult for three people with their physical strength, but doing it by frog jumps is many times more difficult.

In this duel, Rope Tree, with his astonishing stamina, began to show his prowess, steadily jumping to the front of the punished team.

Chizuru is a girl and doesn't have the talent of a Sage Body or Sage Transformation, so she's at a disadvantage in terms of physical attributes. She might have amazing burst power, but her endurance is still not as good as Nawaki and Kirito.

So, Chizuru was initially able to catch up with Nawaki, and even occasionally overtake him, but later she couldn't keep up and was overtaken by the steady Kirito, becoming last in the group.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it..."

Chizuru watched the two people jumping further and further ahead, unable to accept the fact that she had lost to them in terms of physical strength.

She gritted her teeth, trying to force herself to catch up again.

But her body clearly wouldn't allow her to continue acting recklessly. In a moment of carelessness, she lost her balance and fell to the ground with a thud, scraping her elbows and knees.

Fresh blood began to seep from the wound.

Pain followed, stimulating Chizuru's nerves.

A feeling of grievance was brewing in Chizuru's heart.

Chizuru felt a lump in her throat and wanted to cry, but her parents were gone, so she couldn't cry and held back.

Look here.

Suddenly, a voice came from ahead.

Chizuru looked up and saw a boy with a bruised and swollen face pretending to be a pig's nose.

"Pfft~"

Although it was just a clumsy attempt at humor, a sense of absurdity welled up in Chizuru's heart, making her burst out laughing.

"You're bleeding! I'll take you to the infirmary. That'll be a good way to avoid punishment, hehe~"

Upon seeing this, Kirito smiled slightly and then extended a hand to Chizuru.

Chizuru, who had already covered her mouth with her hand, hesitated for a moment before slowly extending her hand.

The next moment, Kirito quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her away from the playground.

Nawaki was still jumping forward happily, practically transforming into a joyful little frog. When he came to his senses and turned around triumphantly to look at Kirito and Chizuru behind him, he found that the two of them were long gone.

"Huh!!!"
