Ch 18

"Brother Kizaru, won't you go back with us?"

Standing at the gate of the school, Shimura Yoshihiko, Shimura Yuki, and Shimura Shinobu surrounded Kizaru.

"I'm going to the training ground to practice ninjutsu; you guys go back first!"

Having just gained physical fitness enhancement, Kizaru was planning to go to the training ground to practice and get used to his strengthened body.

"Brother Kizaru, can we go with you?" Shimura Yoshihiko heard that Kizaru was going to practice ninjutsu and was very eager to follow him.

Taking out his right hand from his trouser pocket, Kizaru was just about to knock Yoshihiko's head as usual, but suddenly realized that he had just strengthened his body and couldn't control his strength well, so he quickly stopped the movement of reaching out.

"Not today! Let's go back first! I will come to you tonight."

Yoshihiko, who was rejected by Kizaru, didn't notice the movement that Kizaru just paused, but just lowered his head in a little frustration.

"Don't be like a follower for a day, pestering Brother Kizaru." With a cold face, Shimura Yuki taught Yoshihiko a lesson.

"You guy, you have the nerve to talk about me? Usually when you go home, who is pestering Brother Kizaru, who even eats next to Brother Kizaru, who has the nerve to talk about someone else." Yoshihiko looked at Shimura Yuki, countering loudly.

A trace of shyness flashed across his face, and Yuki Shimura, whose earlobe was slightly red, forced a cold little face, and said coldly: "Go quickly, don't waste Kizaru's time!"

"Hmph!" With an angry snort, Shimura Yoshihiko looked at Kizaru again, "Brother Kizaru, let's go home first."

"Go back quickly! Be careful on the road."

Kizaru waved at the three of them and watched them go away.

"This guy seems to be very popular!" Crouching on the big tree on the right side of the school, Tsunade leaned on the trunk and commented aloud.

"Is this six-year-old really?" Jiraiya also stood on the other side of the trunk, looking at the tall and slender Kizaru, his eyes widened, expressing the amazement many people feel.

Orochimaru, who didn't climb the tree but simply stood behind the trunk, was also carefully sizing up his future disciple.

Is this child really only six years old? How did he develop?

At this moment, Orochimaru's desire for knowledge and research was instantly aroused.

Watching the figures of the three little guys gradually go away until they disappeared from sight, Kizaru looked back and put his right hand into his trouser pocket again.

Turning his head to the right, Kizaru glanced carefully. He always had a feeling of being spied on.

"It's rare that Hiruzen Sarutobi is spying on me again?"

Kizaru started to move while thinking in his heart.

There are a total of fifty training grounds of different sizes in Leaf Village, which are distributed in different places in the village (official setting).

The training ground that Kizaru planned to go to was at the end of the serial number and was located on the outskirts of the village. It was relatively remote, and few people usually went there.

The ninja school is located in the very center of the village, directly below the Hokage Rock, and far from the training ground. Kizaru, who didn't want to waste too much time, chose to use the Body Flicker Technique to hurry.

Galloping all the way, it took Kizaru about ten minutes to arrive at the selected training ground.

Looking around the training ground, there were already weeds emerging. Kizaru estimated that no one had visited this ground for several months.

Kizaru was very satisfied with this, and he didn't want too much information about his strength to be exposed in the village for the time being.

It's not that Kizaru wants to pretend to be weak; he plans to reveal his true strength during the graduation assessment, gaining a lot of prestige and boosting the progress of the fusion bar.

Standing in the center of the field, Kizaru briefly moved his body, carefully feeling the increase in body strength.

When Kizaru began to warm up, preparing to try out his skills, the future Sannin, who had been following him from a distance, also sneaked into the periphery of the training ground.

With the help of dense bushes to cover his figure, the future Sannin squatted on the ground, looked at Kizaru, and prepared to discuss the next move.

"Jiraiya, you will come later." Tsunade whispered to Jiraiya.

Staring at him, Jiraiya pointed at himself, then shook his head.

Seeing that Jiraiya also refused, Tsunade didn't talk nonsense, but just stretched out her right hand that was clenched into a fist; the meaning was self-evident.

Jiraiya's forehead broke out in a sweat instantly, and for the sake of his own life, he could only nod helplessly in agreement.

Seeing Jiraiya nodding, Tsunade showed a satisfied smile, and then she waved her palm in the direction of the training ground, signaling Jiraiya to come quickly.

He continued to nod, indicating that Jiraiya, who understood that he understood, first quietly began to form seals, and after using the Transformation Technique to change his appearance, he left behind the bushes in a blink of an eye.

Seeing Jiraiya taking action, Tsunade showed an expression of excitement and anticipation, and looked at Kizaru at the training ground.

The potential of the first generation, right? Unheard genius, huh? Let me take a good look at your finesse.

Compared with the excited Tsunade, Orochimaru was very calm but kept staring at Kizaru's eyes, revealing his inner thoughts, and he also had a lot of expectations.

Jumping onto the branch, Jiraiya, whose appearance changed into a middle-aged man with short brown hair and dark complexion, did not attack rashly but kept watching the Kizaru in the center of the training ground.

Taking out two shurikens from the shuriken holster on his thigh, Jiraiya launched an attack while Kizaru bent down and stretched his body.

Two shurikens flew out from two directions and shot at Kizaru's buttocks and thighs, neither of which was fatal.

The Kizaru, who was bending down to support the ground with his hands, heard movement from behind and to the right.

Gently supporting the ground with both hands, Kizaru's body stretched and straightened instantly like a spring.

Just as he straightened up, two shurikens had already flown in front of Kizaru.

With a calm expression, without showing a trace of panic, Kizaru didn't even move his footsteps but twisted his body, then lean to the side, and two shurikens just flew past his body and under him.

Looking at the shuriken that was inserted halfway into the ground after landing, Kizaru evaluated the enemy in his heart; his physical strength was not bad.

Putting his hands into his trouser pockets habitually, Kizaru looked around and spoke.

"It's really scary! I almost got caught."

Obviously feeling the danger of the attack, but the words that came out of Kizaru's mouth always carried a sense of sarcasm.

"What a stinky brat who likes to pretend!" Tsunade, who had been paying attention to Kizaru, complained in a low voice.

While Tsunade was speaking, Jiraiya started his next move, kicking off the branches with both feet and came behind Kizaru as if teleporting, and Jiraiya stabbed Kizaru quickly and powerfully with a kunai in his hand.

Facing the surprise attack launched by Jiraiya, Kizaru seemed to have eyes on his back and leaned forward to the left, narrowly dodging the attack.

The front stab failed; Jiraiya's index finger hooked Kunai and let go of the other fingers so that Kunai could change from horizontal to vertical, and swung downward.

Leaning forward, with his back to Jiraiya's Kizaru, facing Jiraiya's combo, he reacted instantly, turned his body, put his left foot on the ground, and raised his right foot for a swift and powerful side kick.

Kizaru attacked from behind, kicked sideways with his right foot, with afterimages, before Kunai stabbed himself, he kicked the enemy behind him.

boom!

With the mentality of testing the children, Jiraiya, who underestimated the enemy, didn't respond, was kicked by the Kizaru, and crashed heavily under the big tree in the distance.

cough cough!

Knocking out a big hole in the thick trunk of the big tree, Jiraiya, who was hit by a huge force, coughed a few times, and blood gushed out of his throat.

Underestimate the enemy!

The injured Jiraiya also showed a wry smile, and his face became serious.

The physical strength of this brat in front of him is already 60 to 70% that of Tsunade's taijutsu.

Thinking back to the attack he suffered just now, Jiraiya also made an assessment of the strength displayed by Kizaru.
