44 Hard as diamond and Successor

I looked down at Hiruzen as I now was a few tens of meters tall. I saw him dropping his pole and it transformed back into a huge gorilla even taller than earlier. It now was as tall as my Susanoo. I smiled and jumped toward him.

Just before I touched the Gorilla with my fist as I still kept my sword hidden, I deactivated the Susanoo and activated Time slow. I connected my palm to the huge gorilla and activated my other power. I fused it with Time slow like the Susanoo and it now was three time faster to the outside world.

The huge gorilla transformed back to the stick and Sarutobi was now in mid air. I made hand signs and released a majestic flame as big as I could. But it got extinguished by a huge water jutsu. The stick went back to it's original huge form and made me summon Susanoo again.

I punched toward the gorilla while Sarutobi was making hand signs. He launched jutsu after jutsu at me and succeed in making faints cracks on my Susanoo. I punched the gorilla one last time before jumping back.

Then I used Time slow in Susanoo and went as fast as possible toward Sarutobi. I took the sword and made a pierce attack to make it seem like I punch him. My sword went through the gorilla as it did not see it coming but as it was onlt a spar I did it where there was no vital organ. With this it fell toward the ground and I slashed toward Sarutobi and he shooted" I surrender !"

As soon as he said this I deactivated my Susanoo and went toward him. He looked at me angrily but I smiled and went to the gorilla. I put my hand on his chest and healed it. I knew that a summon was very important and a friend to his summoner.

Once he was healed entirely I sat on the ground panting heavily. If I could heal it it was only because it was not a really deep injury and it was made only seconds ago. My power works like that. The exhaustion will be based on the area where it works and at how much time it must use to heal.

So basically it is easier to regrow an arm just cut than a cut on the chest made years ago. I also discovered that I could not reincarnate people as I can't take back a life. Sarutobi came to me and also sat on the ground.

He sigued and said" To think you are only fourteen but already able to defeat a Kage…" I smiled and replied" No I only won because of the surprise effect. Also I know you did not go all out while I did. If I am this powerful it is only with the Susanoo. I still am not really strong."

The Hokage looked toward me and asked"Why do you say this ?" I answered" I am weaker without this power. In a fight like this one I won but only because it was face to face. If I attack you sneackly you would counter it but if you attack me sneakly then I would just die. If I do not have the time to activate the Susanoo I am far from you.

Moreover there are even stronger people. My ancestor Madara and the First Hokage were still way more stronger than us now. I estimate myself to be at a Kage level with the Susanoo and yours if I add Time slow and the surprise effect of my sword. If I only use my Time slow I am only a quite strong S rank.

So for me I will not be satisfied until I improve my power without Susanoo to Kage level." Hiruzen looked at me and frowned" All Kage now are at least in their fourties, and Madara and the first Hokage were in their thirties when they were at their level. You only are fourteen and already this strong. Do you realise that nobody in history was as strong as you at your age ? The only one in your generation that only has a chance to reach you is Minato, and he is the one I want to be my successor. So you do not have to worry about your power."

I looked in shock at Sarutobi and repeated" You want Minato as the fourth ?" He smiled teasingly and said" Yes unless you want to ?" I shook my head and shooted" What are you talking about you old man !"

Sarutobi was stunned and I was shocked by what I said" Sorry Lord Hokage for what I said !" Sarutobi laughed and said" I really am old for you. Listen Kyokai, I would like you to see me as a friend and not the Hokage from now on, so do not watch your words in front of me."

I nodded and said" I think Minato should get stronger before knowing you intends to make him the next Hokage." Sarutobi nodded and said" Yes I thinks too. But he will get really stronger soon." I tilted my head and asked" Why so ?"

Hiruzen revealed to me" Minato started working on a technique made by my master the second Hokage that is extremely powerful but also hard to use. Nobody succeded in mastering it since my master. But Minato already did some progress in the technique."

I smiled and stayed silent. We heard some people coming ans saw they were anbu. They seemed alert and they looked at us strangely. Sarutobi got up and calmly said" Do not worry nobody attacked, I only sparred a little with my little friend but we got a little too excited and made some damage." I looked around as he said that and saw that the mountain was no longer there.

I was a bit dumbfounded looking around. I did not think that I was so powerful that I would destroy a mountain by sparring...
