He was in Konoha, exuding an aura of dominance.

Kakashi understood his father's meaning.

Chapter 97 Kakashi has full confidence in his father

Witnessing this scene, Kobayashi Mika's already weary face, burdened by the increasing student conflicts, appeared even more aged.

They quickly moved closer and bowed slightly.

"I apologize, Lord Hatake Sakumo. My child is naughty. Please forgive him."

That wretched brat! I specifically told him to behave today.

Sakumo Hatake smiled slightly: "It's a good thing that the children are energetic. Don't be too harsh on them."

Having graduated long ago, he rarely returns to the ninja academy. His knowledge of the academy's condition is mostly gleaned from other sources or from children jumping around on the street. With his keen eye, he can easily discern that although the ninja academy students fighting in the hallway use fierce attacks, they do not harbor excessive malice.

It refers to playful roughhousing between children without any extraneous emotions.

The only difference is that this playful and roughhousing would be reduced for ordinary adults.

Making friends is not difficult.

They joked and played around together in their daily lives, and participated in many competitive activities. It's easy to develop feelings for each other during intense activities, and this round of events easily thawed the ice between the two who were initially at odds.

It aligns with the Will of Fire upheld by Konoha.

Guided by Kobayashi Mika, the father and son arrived at the location of their graduation exam.

Located behind the Ninja Academy, it is a training ground specifically for the activities of the Ninja Academy students.

The place is quite large, after all, it's a place where students can have free rein. Kakashi is quite interested in this large playground, and he will likely stay here for the next few years.

With a curious heart, it looked around, its little eyes widening.

He knows most of them.

That fat guy eating potato chips over there is from the Akimichi clan, that's Sarutobi over there, and next to him are the Uchiha and the Hyuga who never get along. And in the corner is... wait? Whose family is that guy wearing sunglasses?

"So many people?" Sakumo Hatake was slightly taken aback.

"Everyone is curious about the outcome of this assessment," Kobayashi Miyu smiled.

Sakuma Hatake remained noncommittal.

Curiosity is a given, but more than that, it's an opportunity to figure out the limits of Fifty Strings' abilities.

In the past, people could only judge based on the deeds that the fifty strings had already accomplished, but news can be distorted, and the five senses can deceive. Only after verifying it personally can one truly believe it.

Just like when Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha suddenly appeared and suppressed everything, many people didn't believe they were so strong. They rushed at them with two kunai, and then nothing happened. They were safe all the way.

If Isogen had no powerful background, the ninja clan would have shown him favor as soon as he began to distinguish himself, in exchange for some future assistance.

Unfortunately, Mito Uzumaki lost her grandson in the war, and Isogen is known for his unpredictable and unconventional ways of doing things, and he also has a good relationship with Kushina.

They came directly into the sight of this Konoha elder.

Therefore, figuring out his true strength is not an easy task.

Now, with such a rare opportunity, and the examiner for this graduation assessment being Sakumo Hatake, a pillar of strength in Konoha, everyone wants to take this chance to see just how far this genius has come.

only……

His expression was slightly strange as he walked towards Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was already prepared to watch the show.

"Lord Hokage, isn't the venue a bit too small?"

"It's just a symbolic assessment, that should be enough." Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and looked towards the teaching building.

"Moreover, I want to take this opportunity to let the students see a duel between masters. Observing a duel between masters is a great help to both their mentality and their ability."

After graduating from the Ninja Academy, students usually choose to become ninjas. Normally, they are twelve-year-old children, and given the precocious nature of the ninja world, they are at the peak of their youthful vigor.

There was often a ninja who had graduated clamoring to participate in high-level missions, and he had good intentions in warning the children about the dangers of the ninja world.

Sakumo Hatake opened his mouth, but still didn't voice his doubts.

Firstly, this is indeed useful for the children of the ninja academy; secondly, given the fighting style of Yuka Ichigen, it would only take the blink of an eye to blow the ninja academy to the sky.

Moreover, this is an assessment, and while there are no general restrictions on the scope of the assessment, everyone tacitly limits themselves to a general area.

Otherwise, if they really went all out and used every trick in the book, the entire Hidden Leaf Village would become their battlefield, so there was absolutely no need to restrict the area.

Moreover, the training grounds of the Ninja Academy are designed to accommodate the large number of Ninja Academy students and are larger than the usual training grounds in Konoha. The training grounds in the village are really not as good as those in the Ninja Academy.

……

"There are a lot of people." Wu Shixian entered right on time, and what he saw was a huge crowd.

Kobayashi Miyu's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly came over, saying in an annoyed tone, "You knew there would be a lot of people today, yet you still came so late. The Hokage and the others have been waiting for you for ages!"

Isogen raised an eyebrow and countered, "Do I have a habit of arriving early?"

Kobayashi Mika looked helpless: "You'll lose your friends if you keep doing this... Never mind, I won't talk to you about this anymore, hurry up and get ready."

As a homeroom teacher, Kobayashi Miyu is truly dedicated to her students.

The scene is one that most of the Konoha ninja clans have come to watch, yet Igogakure remains so relaxed. You should know that ninja clans are never short of old-fashioned men.

He was just an ordinary teacher, not particularly afraid of the long-standing ninja clan, but he still adhered to the principle of avoiding involvement if possible.

Although Fifty Strings has a very strong backing, having more friends means having more options.

Everyone stopped talking and gave Isogen a friendly smile.

Hiruzen Sarutobi lowered his head slightly, looked at Igogakure, then at Kushina and Mizuki Hyuga following behind him, and gave them some instructions.

"This assessment is just a formality. If it's not necessary, avoid using powerful ninjutsu like the Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags."

Repairing a ninja academy is very expensive!

After a two-second silence, he asked again, unwilling to give up, "Are you really not considering becoming a ninja?"

Wu Zixuan made a big X with his hands in front of his chest.

"Grandma Mito was so happy to know I was going to live off my parents."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's lips twitched slightly.

How could I not be happy?

Although Gokugen occasionally causes some big commotion, and these are all major events that can shake the region, compared to Tsunade who only thinks about sending money to the casino all day long, Gokugen not only doesn't waste money, but also generates income for his family.

To be honest, if Isugen took that money and invested it in the construction of Konoha, he would fully support Isugen's actions.

After a brief chat, Wu Zixian flashed into the room, as if a fallen leaf had been carried away by the wind.

Sakumo Hatake, who had been waiting for a long time, narrowed his eyes.

The combination of Body Flicker Technique and Wind Release chakra—such speed!

He can do that too, but his style isn't as free-flowing as the Fifty Strings.

Off the field, Kakashi's previously serious gaze suddenly narrowed.

He couldn't fathom the depths of the fifty strings with his current abilities, but that didn't stop him from hearing the opinions of those around him.

"I'm ashamed of my own speed."

"Young people these days are really scary. Luckily, my son has a good relationship with Wu Shixian."

Even a Jonin from a bloodline ninja clan would feel inferior to him; you can imagine how valuable his skill is!

Even so, Father will win!

Kakashi had complete faith in his father.

Chapter 98 Boiling Water and Throwing Stones

Sakumo Hatake's eyes were serious, while Yoka Igogaku had a smile on his lips.

next second.

!

A flash of cold light arrived first, followed by several afterimages in an instant!

The intimidating presence of Konoha's White Fang was displayed to the fullest extent.

The White Fang Short Blade unleashed power in his hands far exceeding that of his ancestors, and the Hatake Sword Technique underwent a complete transformation in his hands!

Wu Zixuan neither dodged nor avoided, standing still and letting the short blade slash at him.

Silky smooth.

Sakumo Hatake felt no resistance at all.

The short blade pierced straight through Isogen's body, leaving several chakra marks that were healing at a visible speed.

The third level of reverse birth.

Sakumo Hatake had witnessed the power of this technique in the past few years.

By transforming their bodies into chakra, they lack the obvious weaknesses of the Hozuki clan, making them a nightmare for close-combat ninjas.

But it's just chakra transformation, not complete immunity to attacks!

As chakra was channeled into White Fang, the tip of the blade extended, and the chakra-formed blade gleamed with a more captivating aura than any metal blade!

This is the true purpose of White Fang. Anyone who thinks that the length of White Fang is the attack range will pay a heavy price.

"Since physical attacks can't hit, what about chakra attacks?" Hatake Sakumo's eyes narrowed, and with a flick of his wrist, the White Fang short blade turned into raindrops and slammed into the target.

……

'quick!'

'It was incredibly fast, reaching the pinnacle of physical ability that an ordinary ninja could achieve.'

Ichigen fully experienced the intimidating power of Konoha's White Fang.

As it turns out, Konoha's White Fang truly deserved his reputation as a formidable force in the ninja world!

To reach the limits of common sense with the human body.
