Chapter 31: What does Chiba Seishi want to do?!

The Third Hokage widened his eyes and exclaimed, "You mean...?"

Helplessly, Sakumo nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, it's Chiba Seishi."

The other Jōnin who were listening on the side all looked incredulous.

"Sakumo! Don't joke around," said one of them.

"You saw the power of that move just now. Half of the Death Forest was destroyed. Even I may not be able to make such an attack. How is it possible that it was caused by your student?!"

More than half of the Jōnin present thought that Sakumo was joking.

Sakumo also took note of their reactions.

He helplessly touched the back of his head and said, "I also find it hard to believe that it was caused by Seishi. But I have seen that move before, and apart from him, there is no one else among the candidates present who can cause that kind of scene."

He was also shocked by the commotion caused by Chiba Seishi.

This move, Unseen God Flow - Four Beasts Kirin, also gave him a lot of inspiration.

In fact, he played at least half the role in this move being formed.

A month ago, Seishi only had the idea for this technique and barely had rudimentary form. At the beginning, the power of the technique was far from being so strong, at most it was only as powerful as an A-level ninjutsu, and even slightly inferior. But now the power of this technique has completely reached S-level, and is even infinitely close to SS-level.

He suspects that with some time, the power of this technique can completely break through to SSS-level. An 11-year-old genin created an SSS-level ninjutsu... What concept is that? With a complex look in his eyes, Sakumo sighed inwardly after glancing at the Third Hokage. "Hokage-sama... I'm afraid Seishi talent has far exceeded your imagination. It's impossible to make him a tool in your hand..."

Although he hadn't been in contact with Seishi for long, Sakumo knew that his student was not a simple person who could be easily dominated by others. Many times he completely couldn't understand what Seishi was thinking.

Even many of the ideas proposed by Seishi have inspired him significantly. So although Seishi was only 11 years old, Sakumo never regarded him as a simple student, but rather as a peer. He believed that Seishi's talent surpassed his own, and even surpassed all the Hokages of Konoha... It's just a matter of time.

One night during his training, when he was about to go home, Seishi asked him a question. "Teacher Sakumo, how do you see Konoha now?" Without any hesitation, he replied without thinking, "Under the leadership of Hokage-sama, I believe Konoha can..." " Sakumo-sensei! I want to hear your true thoughts." It's hard to believe that this was a question asked by an 11-year-old child.

"Sakumo-sensei, what do you think of Konoha now?"

Without hesitation, Sakumo answered, "Konoha is where I was born and raised, it's my village... Although Hokage-sama and Danzo-sama represent different factions and have different methods, I believe they both have Konoha's best interests at heart."

However, before Sakumo could finish, Seishi shook his head. "Sakumo-sensei, do you really think that way, seeing all those sacrificed ninja?"

...

"Seishi, be careful what you say! The village's leaders must have their reasons for whatever they do."

Talking about this topic made Sakumo's expression change constantly. Even now, he could recall the expression on Seishi's face that night.

Completely different from his usual calm and indifferent demeanor, that night Seishi face was always twisted with scorn whenever he talked about Konoha's current situation.

...

"Look! What is Seishi doing? What does he want?!"

At this moment, a loud shout interrupted Sakumo's thoughts and brought him back to the present.

Following the voice, he saw Seishi's figure on the monitor. The six of them had reached the end of the Forest of Death and only needed to take a few more steps to exit the exam site.

At this point, Uchiha Qi and Tsunade and their respective teams had already left the Forest of Death and passed the exam.

Only when Seishi was about to leave the Forest of Death, did he casually find a protruding stone stool, sit down cross-legged and closed his eyes as if waiting for something.

"Could it be..."

At this point, Sakumo had a guess in his heart.
