Chapter 73 - Bell Test 03.

[Chapter Size: 2000 Words.]

Third Person POV

Konoha, Year 36.

...

...

"This kid... He's going overboard!" Jiraiya commented, looking at the enormous chakra ball, wondering how that boy could create such a large rasengan.

On the other side, the ninjas watching were equally surprised by this. Staring at the huge blue sphere in the air amid the battlefield's steam.

'He can make that technique grow so much... but he's using too much chakra...' Hiruzen, while surprised by this, also reasoned that it wasn't a very smart move.

And indeed, it wasn't. Minato just wanted to show off a bit, so he didn't hold back with his chakra, after all, this was a test and not a fight to the death.

In the air, Minato spun his body and moved downward as he launched his sphere. Jiraiya, with no choice, began to create several seals and hit the ground while a series of symbols ran straight from his palm.

"Summoning Jutsu!" He declared, and a huge smoke emerged exploding from that point.

*BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!*

A frog with a pinkish-purple color, not too big but the size of a house, appeared with one hand using a plate and the other a sort of fork/spear. It found itself in a strange place in the first milliseconds.

"Gamaken! We need to defend against this attack!" Jiraiya said, and Minato approached with his jutsu.

The young Gamaken quickly understood and placed his plate as a shield. "I'm a bit clumsy, but I'll try," he declared.

"Incredible... This Gamaken is so much smaller than the one I saw in the work... But it's quite interesting!" Minato commented with an excited smile and launched his attack against his opponent.

As soon as the shield and the Oodama Rasengan collided against each other, generating a force of impact.

*BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!*

The impact caused even the steam to fly away, revealing beyond the scorched ground like lava from the last attack, a semi-giant frog with Jiraiya on top and Minato on the other side launching his huge rasengan.

"He can generate that jutsu of that size?!" Hanabi commented from her distant hiding place.

"He has a jutsu that big?!" Mikoto also murmured. She had not yet seen the Rasengan.

Besides Mikoto, many Uchihas also looked at the confrontation from a distance surprised, like other ninjas who arrived at the site, some remnants of the village who did not leave it, and others who came to look for their teams.

The battle between the jutsu and the plate continued until Jiraiya noticed something. "This... The plate is cracking?!" He said, stunned seeing the cracks growing there.

"Sorry... I think I'm messing up here..." Gamaken said, feeling he was losing.

What followed was the plate cracking and immediately with the Rasengan hitting the frog, which flew backward while Jiraiya had no choice but to jump as his frog fell defeated flying into the forest.

The impact of the enormous Rasengan made the ground explode, causing Jiraiya to recoil with the force of the impact while stones from the ground being destroyed flew in all directions, creating another huge explosion in that area.

"Is this a genin test? What kind of fight is this?!" An Ambu commented next to the Hokage.

"We could never expect a normal fight coming from that child... But this is really on another level... much more than I expected, the amount of chakra he has is much larger than we thought..." Hiruzen spoke, but also knew that Minato must be at his limit.

"He's coming this way!" Mikoto exclaimed as the forest was being destroyed with Gamaken's body going in their direction, raising all the trees.

*BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!*

She jumped from her place as an uncontrollable cape continued tearing trees until it stopped a few hundred meters away, quite battered.

'Man... I think I overdid it...' Minato looked at that a bit sheepishly. Of all the toads, Gamaken was one of his favorites in the series. Seeing him being thrown like that was a bit hard to watch.

"I think I lost..." Gamaken said a bit shyly, as his body was all battered, before disappearing with an explosion of smoke.

Jiraiya landed on the ground attentive to any movement from Minato, who fell within the smoke generated by the explosion's impact, while pieces of the plate were falling shattered in the air. A Minato jumped from the smoke and touched those pieces while they were suspended with his feet to create momentum before advancing against Jiraiya.

Jiraiya prepared himself as Minato was already upon him, but was quicker as he grabbed the boy's neck.

"Hm?!" Jiraiya quickly noticed something strange, since Minato was caught so easily, but in the next moment, the boy's body began to electrify.

"A shadow clone with lightning?!" He said in his last moment, having no time to react even with a substitution jutsu, as the shock immediately caught him the next second.

Jiraiya felt his body paralyzed, and a new Minato emerged from the smoke quickly, his goal being the bells on his waist. Seeing this, Jiraiya tried to react, but Minato was already upon him.

Raising his hand, Minato was very close to the bells while Jiraiya was still affected by the paralysis, 'These bells will be mine.' He thought, already putting his fingers on the object and just a little more he could pull them.

"Hm?!" His haki alerted danger, and he saw Jiraiya's hair expand and turn into spikes, before shooting at him. Minato quickly moved his feet to escape the point-blank attack. He took a few steps back and saw that he couldn't reach the bells at that moment, so he quickly grabbed some kunais and threw them at Jiraiya, who had to deal with them with some difficulty while still feeling his paralysis. With Jiraiya busy with the kunais, Minato launched smoke bombs on the ground.

"He hid for the first time...." Jiraiya was surprised by Minato's move to hide, as he could no longer sense his presence nearby.

Minato continued jumping between the trees, moving a bit away from Jiraiya at that moment. "My chakra is at its limit..." He murmured, but didn't seem too tired besides a slight change in his breathing.

He still had his physical energy, but wouldn't use it with so many eyes on him. He didn't mind being observed, moreover, he didn't seem worried about having spent a large amount of chakra at this moment. He knew the test was a team effort, so he would wait for the girls to act before talking to them and using his attack in conjunction with the sensei.

As Minato found a place to recover, the devastated training field fell silent with some smoke coming out from parts of the ground melted by Minato and Jiraiya's jutsu while a huge hole appeared due to the last attack.

Jiraiya walked to the center of the place that visually looked chaotic, but in silence. "I had to spend a lot of chakra with this kid... He really exceeded all my expectations..." Jiraiya murmured, the level of Minato's chakra was beyond a jonin.

Although he thought the boy was reckless in launching so many powerful jutsus, he was still pleased with the demonstration of his power. If Minato heard these thoughts, he would wonder how Jiraiya would react to his more powerful Jutsus that he hadn't shown or even his light fruit.

Jiraiya had already recovered from the lightning running through his body and was waiting for a new move from his students, even though he was not at 100%, he was confident he could still handle all of them.

The girls didn't stay behind, Mikoto made her move, after escaping from a giant frog flying in her direction, she didn't want to fall behind. Activating her Sharingan, she began to throw Kunais at Jiraiya, who quickly realized and stood still waiting until the last moment to minimally move his body so as not to be hit.

The kunais continued flying towards Jiraiya, until he noticed a different one. "A paper bomb." He commented, as soon as the kunai hit the ground, it exploded near Jiraiya who emerged from the smoke unscathed and looked towards where Mikoto was shooting her kunais.

"The chief's daughter is going to fight now..." said an Uchiha.

"After seeing that boy's fight before... I doubt she can do something similar." Another Uchiha admitted.

Mikoto emerged from the trees and showed her Sharingan of a tomeo, she hadn't evolved them in years, but had gotten accustomed to using them well, better than Akame, the other Uchiha boy.

"Come on, little girl." Jiraiya commented and Mikoto launched herself against the elite Jonin.

She crossed her fingers and 4 clones appeared, heading towards Jiraiya, and a Taijutsu fight began while all her clones tried to hit him. Jiraiya managed quite well with all 5 Uchihas. Dodging and attacking, while hitting the clones making them disappear in smoke.

"Hm?! Why am I going in the opposite direction now..." Jiraiya realized he was retreating to the side where Mikoto had come from, there were only 3 Mikotos now. Mikoto had done that on purpose, since she wanted Jiraiya to go to that side.

Hitting the other two clones, making them disappear, the original Mikoto threw a kunai with a paper bomb, causing Jiraiya to retreat.

*BOOOM* As soon as it touched the ground behind him, he saw that he had fallen into a trap set by the girl, because the place had other kunais with paper bombs, which she had placed while running towards Jiraiya and using her clones as a disguise. "Smart..." Jiraiya had to admit as the paper bombs began to explode.

*BOOOM!!!*

*BOOOM!!!*

*BOOOM!!!*

*BOOOM!!!*

*BOOOM!!!*

As Jiraiya retreated from the explosions, new detonations occurred.

"Did she get him?" An Uchiha at a distance asked.

"No... I doubt Jiraiya would fall for something like that." Another concluded.

Jiraiya indeed emerged unscathed from the attack and saw a huge fireball heading his way. Quickly making a seal, "Doton: Doryuuheki" he created a wall of stone with the fire exploding against it.

Seeing this, Mikoto threw 4 kunais to both sides; they clashed against one another making them go towards Jiraiya inside the wall, a technique she learned from Minato.

"This?!" Jiraiya was surprised by this, he grabbed a kunai from his pocket and hit one while dodging another with a paper bomb.

*BOOOOM!*

He was caught and came out the other side with a burned sleeve. "These brats nowadays... in my time with Tsunade and Orochimaru, we weren't this dangerous..."

"Hokage-sama... It seems that the Elite class program is really a success..." An Anbu had to admit.

"Yes, it certainly is full of talented children." He sighed, but spoke with satisfaction.

Mikoto wouldn't stop being aggressive now, she launched a series of seals. "Katon: Gōryūka no Jutsu" She took a deep breath before blowing.

"Hm?" Jiraiya noticed the glow coming from behind the smoke and a dragon made of flames roared towards him.

"This technique is much more dangerous than the last..." He said and began his hand seals as well. "Doton: Dosekiryuu!"

The earth dragon emerged from the ground, racing against the fire dragon, both collided, causing an explosion, but still, the flames overcame the earth and raced towards Jiraiya, who just jumped dodging. Mikoto appeared right after, using a Kunai and making Jiraiya use his kunai to fend off the girl.

They exchanged blows, and Jiraiya realized he had fallen into a genjutsu while thinking Mikoto would attack from the side, but it was an illusion while the real one launched a frontal attack.

But as a ninja sensor specialized in espionage, Jiraiya wouldn't fall for something like that, making him kick the girl before she could attack him. Causing her to fall backward and jump to the trees wanting to hide after all her failed attempts.

"It seems the last one is coming, don't disappoint me." Jiraiya commented and on the other side, he saw the Hyuuga collapsing on the ground with her Byakugan activated.
