Passed the Assessment

Watching the dust rise in front of him, Kizaru bent his legs, jumped into the air, and delivered another shining kick, sending out a golden slash.

The slash cut through the smoke created by the dust, continued to soar, and flew into the woods where he had just shot the kunai.

Another explosion echoed, and the smoke rose again, shrouding the trees and grass on Kizaru's right side.

"Uncle, are you still not coming out?" Landing on the ground, Kizaru shouted.

Whoosh!

In response to Kizaru, two Wind Release kunai flew towards him!

Emerging from the smoke, the Wind Release kunai approached Kizaru from two directions.

Maintaining the posture with both hands in his pockets, Kizaru lifted his glowing right leg and kicked again.

The golden slash flew out, directly intercepting the two Wind Release kunai.

After the slash, looking at the smoke ahead, Kizaru formed hand seals, using the ninjutsu Wind Release: Vacuum Great Sphere.

A transparent wind ball, as tall as a person, spewed out from Kizaru's mouth, rushing towards the smoke. While dispersing the smoke, it continued forward.

Like a giant shredder, the transparent wind ball rushed into the woods, pulling up all the surrounding trees by the roots and crushing them.

Facing such a widespread attack, Danzo, hiding in the woods, was forced to reveal his presence.

With his vision somewhat restored, Danzo leaped to avoid the wind ball, landing on a messy patch of soil.

Gasping for breath, with an injured arm, damaged eyes, and tattered clothes, Danzo looked quite disheveled.

On the sidelines, watching the battle, Hiruzen and the young Legendary Sannin were astonished by Kizaru's performance.

"That kid didn't go all out last time either!"

With a bitter smile on his face, Jiraiya, who always thought he lost because he didn't use his signature techniques and went easy on purpose to hide his identity, was amazed to find that Kizaru didn't go all out last time either.

"My student is truly terrifyingly talented!"

For a moment, Jiraiya was filled with emotions.

Orochimaru and Tsunade, standing beside him, were also shocked by Kizaru's performance.

Violent leg techniques, excellent Wind Release ninjutsu, and a powerful bloodline limit never seen before in the ninja world!

"Is this child really only six years old?"

This question arose again in everyone's minds.

"This is just too abnormal, isn't it? He's practically a monster!"

Unlike the three disciples, who saw more, Hiruzen, who had more experience, observed even more.

Combining the Bloodline Limit called Light Release with perfect taijutsu, this child possesses top-notch talent in both taijutsu and ninjutsu. Such aptitude deserves the evaluation of a potential Hokage!

Recalling the golden slash that Kizaru just kicked out, Hiruzen couldn't help but marvel at the child's talent once again.

As long as this child grows up smoothly, and can inherit the ideology of the Hokage, the village will have no worries for at least fifty years!

Thinking of this, Hiruzen looked forward to Kizaru and the future of the village.

While rejoicing, Hiruzen also felt a strong pressure. Such a rare and outstanding seedling cannot be allowed to go astray in his hands.

Just as Hiruzen fell into contemplation, Danzo, who was in a sorry state, spoke up and ended the battle.

"That's enough."

Watching Kizaru, who was smiling with his hands in his pockets, Danzo had to admit in his heart that the child's performance tonight had truly startled him.

"What a big surprise!"

With a stern face, Danzo walked back into the training ground and approached Kizaru.

Looking at Kizaru's not-so-serious and dignified smile, Danzo's tightly pursed lips slightly curved, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

"Shimura Kizaru!" Danzo deliberately emphasized the Shimura part, mainly for someone on the sidelines to hear. "Your performance tonight is quite good, and you passed my assessment."

"Eh? Well, thank you, Uncle." Kizaru replied.

Extending his hand, Danzo raised it slightly and gently patted Kizaru's shoulder.

"Your performance tonight did indeed startle me."

For the first time, seeing Danzo praise himself so honestly, Kizaru was slightly surprised.

Bowing his head to look at Danzo in front of him, seeing the bloodstains and injuries on his arms, and the reddened teary eyes, Kizaru turned his head to look at the sidelines.

"Big Sister Tsunade, could you please help Uncle heal his injuries?"

Tsunade, who disliked Danzo, didn't want to agree, but facing the first request from her junior, she hesitated for a moment before saying, "Bring him over."

"Thanks, Big Sister Tsunade!" Kizaru said with a smile.

After speaking, looking at the somewhat reluctant Danzo, Kizaru didn't hesitate. He directly reached out and took Danzo's uninjured arm, walking towards the sidelines.

"Let go!" Being pulled by Kizaru, Danzo felt embarrassed and quickly shouted.

Kizaru seldom bothered with these prideful and stubborn individuals. Relying on his outstanding physical fitness, he directly pulled Danzo to the sidelines before releasing his hands.

"I'm counting on you, Big Sister!" Kizaru faced Tsunade and said with a smile.

"Got it!" Tsunade replied unenthusiastically and walked up to Danzo.

Looking at the blood-stained bandage on Danzo's right arm, Tsunade didn't hesitate. She directly went ahead, tearing off the already tattered bandage without any reservation.

Without the cover of the bandage, the extent of the injury on his arm was fully exposed.

"Tsk tsk!" Watching the somewhat severe injury, Tsunade sighed.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, standing nearby, also approached, looking at the wound on his friend's arm. A smirk appeared on his lips.

"Really dangerous ninjutsu!" Hiruzen exclaimed, then added, "Must be painful, Danzo!"

"Shut up!" Danzo glared at Hiruzen, irritated.

"I'm concerned for you too!" Hiruzen explained for himself.

"Quiet, both of you!" Not wanting to hear the bickering between the two old foxes, Tsunade, who had started the treatment, shouted loudly.

Tsunade's words reverberated throughout the area, and both Hiruzen and Danzo closed their mouths.

Taking her gaze away from Danzo's injury, Hiruzen looked towards Kizaru on the side.

"I heard that you want to challenge the Uchiha clan's jonin in the graduation assessment?"

"They were too noisy, annoying me, so I had to shut them up."

Nodding, Hiruzen didn't delve deeper and continued, "As the Hokage, I agree to your request. I will arrange Uchiha clan's jonin for your graduation assessment.

Kizaru was already his disciple, and seeing his talent and strength, those Uchiha guys dared to question his disciple? What were they thinking? A group of people with no foresight!

"Well, thank you, Sensei." Kizaru responded satisfactorily.

"I'll announce the matter of accepting you as my disciple on the day of the graduation assessment to the entire village." Speaking, Hiruzen reached out and patted Kizaru's shoulder.

Kizaru nodded, indicating his understanding.
