Konoha: Sage Body

"Damn it, this person has actually seen through my main body all this time, what should I do, what should I do ..."

Kawaki thought inwardly with immense anxiety as he clumsily avoided the rapidly incoming water whips over and over again.

He had thought that this opponent could be easily defeated this time, but he did not expect that this Hyuga branch girl was so troublesome, the shadow clone tactics that he had always been accustomed to using did not work at all in the other party's byakugan, and he was completely unable to confuse the other party.

This was the first time Kawaki had ever encountered such a situation.

Moreover, his opponent's speed was even faster than his, and the Water Release she used was also very difficult to deal with, not giving him the slightest chance to form a seal.

He now regretted immensely that he hadn't worked hard to improve his chakra manipulation power during the week, so much so that he had been slow to simplify the number of jutsu seal he had learned for various types of ninjutsu.

Ninjutsu sealing can be simplified, ninjas who are proficient in a certain jutsu can completely simplify the original jutsu that requires more than ten seals to single digits, or even achieve a seal-less release, and to do so, it is necessary to have excellent chakra manipulation.

The reason why ninjutsu requires seals is because seals mobilize the chakra in the body, allowing the chakra to move along the chakra meridian system in the body according to a certain route, and then releasing the ninjutsu smoothly.

If a ninja is already familiar with the movement of the chakra meridian system of this jutsu, he can completely rely on his own excellent chakra manipulation to mobilize the chakra to follow the movement of this chakra meridian system, thereby simplifying the number of seals, and ultimately achieving the release of no seals.

"See, if you don't listen to your brother's words, you'll suffer."

Kirito sighed as he looked at Kawaki's frustrated appearance at the moment.

He usually reminded Kawaki a lot to work on his chakra manipulation after sparring with him.

Unfortunately, this guy, relying on the Shadow Clone Technique to be able to hide and perform seals without fear, had always treated his words as a blow to the ears, choosing to focus his time on learning ninjutsu and physical arts.

Now that he had encountered the Byakugan, whose observation power was one step better than the Sharingan, and could accurately locate his true form, the Shadow Clone had been cracked, and he was unable to successfully complete his seals to make other jutsu and utilize the advantages of his massive chakra, and was instantly caught in a bitter battle.

Still, Kirito was taken aback by Hanare's ability to keep locking onto Kawaki's true body by relying on his white eyes.

It was reasonable to say that a shadow clone was a materialized clone, and the Byakugan could not see the difference between the main body and the clone, and in the original plot, the genius of the Hyuga clan, Neji Hyuga, had not been able to locate Naruto's true body.

He had to work hard to solve this problem.

So what does Hanare rely on to keep locking onto the Kawaki's shadow clone?

There was bound to be a secret that was uniquely Hanare's.

"It's almost time, this idiot is going to lose."

At that moment, Chizuru, who was on the side, said.

Kirito nodded thoughtfully as he smiled at Kawaki's increasingly ugly face, as well as hearing the voices of the other students around him mocking Kawaki.

Kawaki's character was simple and impulsive, very similar to Naruto, once he encountered difficulties that could not be solved in a short period of time, he would quickly become impatient and then reckless without thinking.

From the looks of it, Kawaki's patience had already reached its limit.

When the shadow clone created by using the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique for the fourth time was once again annihilated by Hanare, Kawaki, whose face was a little too much to bear, finally exploded, and he angrily shouted, "Bastard, don't think that I don't dare to engage you in a melee battle."

This time, instead of choosing to avoid the rapidly coming water whip, he took out his kunai and charged at Hanare.

As a result, Hanare's hand that was controlling the water whip slightly adjusted its movements, and the water whip avoided Kawaki's kunai before wrapping around Kawaki's body.

With his body bound by the water whip, Kawaki panicked, and while his hands were still able to move, he hurriedly made a seal, preparing to use a substitution technique to get out of his predicament.

But at that moment, a bolt of electricity appeared from Hanare's hand that was manipulating the water whip.

In a flash, electricity instantly acted on Kawaki through water.

"Ah!!!"

Kawaki instantly let out a miserable scream, and was so electrified that his body was numb and unable to move.

"This is the end, the winner, Hyuga Hanare."

Seeing this, Mikado Aoi decisively announced the result of the sparring match.

Hanare, who was panting slightly, heard this, and she immediately stopped her lightning attribute chakra release as well as deactivating her Water Release - Water Whip before closing her Byakugan, and then turned her head to look at Kirito with a smile on her face.

However, she realized that Kirito was talking to a person wearing a mask.

She recognized the man's identity, the other was an ANBU of the village.

"Kirito Tosaka, Lord Sandaime wants to see you, please follow me."

The ANBU said indifferently to Kirito.

"Sandaime wants to see me?"

Kirito looked at this sudden appearance of the ANBU in front of him, and doubt arose in his mind.

"Yes, I understand."

Soon, he realized the reason why Sandaime would be looking for him, and nodded his head before looking towards Mikado Aoi, who was looking this way openly.

Since it was Sandaime's order, it was only natural that Mikado Aoi had no reason to stop it, but as a ninja, she never let her guard down and stared at the ANBU with skeptical eyes.

The ANBU understood well and quickly took out something.

Once Mikado Aoi saw something like that, she nodded to Kirito, signaling that he could go with the ANBU.

The arrival of the ANBU undoubtedly caught the attention of the group of curious children present at once, and when Kirito followed the ANBU away, there was a lot of talk, and the topic of discussion was, of course, why Kirito had been called over by Sandaime.

The people who are smart like Chizuru, Kagyu and Hanare immediately guessed that it has something to do with Kirito's newly developed Magnet Release, while those who are not so smart and jealous of Kirito suspected that Kirito did something bad and will be punished by Sandaime later on, and snickered in their hearts.

But given Kirito's outstanding performance at the ninja school, most people thought Kirito was there to receive praise from Lord Sandaime.

Mikado Aoi was not going to be lenient with her students. She immediately suppressed them again with her cold eyes and moved on to the next group's competition.

Seeing that Kirito wasn't here, Chizuru left on her own before class ended.

She left the school directly over the wall and went home.

After Kawaki regained his mobility, he silently went to a corner somewhere and collapsed on the ground, drawing circles with a branch in immense frustration.

Soon, he got back up and, like Chizuru, went home without waiting for school to end.

Hanare reverted back to the coy, weak girl she had been before and returned to the crowd, she quietly watched the discovery of Kirito's departure and thought to herself, "I won yo, Kirito-kun, will you be happy?"

...

"NOW!"

A sharp eagle cry appeared over the Sand Ninja Village surrounded by layers of rock.

Then, a messenger eagle with a letterbox wrapped around its feet flew into a high tower in the Sand Ninja Village.

"It's actually first-class intelligence."

When the Sand Ninja stationed in the tower saw the red letterbox on the messenger eagle's foot, a surprised expression appeared on his face, and then he immediately stepped forward to take out the information in the letterbox.

Shortly after, an urgent intelligence that had already completed decryption was quickly sent to the Kazekage's Building.
