Chapter 54 Shocking the whole audience, Sarutobi Hiruzen’s excitement
”… Kaiten!”
Looking at the falling waves, Hyuga Neji’s eyes widened, and he didn’t even have time to shock Yagyu’s one-handed seal. He quickly rotated and released chakra from various acupuncture points in his body, using Bagua Palm·Kaiten, which only the main family was qualified to learn, but he learned it with his own talent.
A huge hemispherical energy shield immediately appeared.
It’s not that Hyuga Neji wants to use Kaiten for defense, but he has to!
Yagyu’s one-handed seal was so fast that no one could react at all.
And his water escape was too exaggerated. The waves that were higher than the stands would definitely fill the entire hall when they fell down, and Hyuga Neji had no way to dodge.
As soon as the energy shield was formed, the water waves hit the rotating hemisphere heavily.
Boom——
Accompanied by a loud bang, the amazing water flow surged and spread around, immediately filling the entire hall, forcing Moonlight Gale to return to the second-floor stand in an instant.
Just when the water level was about to rise to the stands, the water flow seemed to break through something and rushed to other places on the first floor of the tower.
Yagyu gathered chakra with his feet, stood on the surging water, squatted and inserted his palm into the water flow.
A small vortex appeared, and the water flow rotated upward, wrapping around Yagyu’s forearm like a snake.
As the water level dropped rapidly, the energy shield that was not broken by the waves was still rotating at high speed.
But everyone’s eyes were not on the energy shield, but on Yagyu’s palm.
Yagyu’s palm had been holding a water javelin at some point.
Looking at the water javelin, the pupils of the jonins in the stands all shrank.
Even Sarutobi Hiruzen and Hatake Kakashi were shocked! Might Guy no longer looked carefree, and was about to take the initiative to help Hyuga Neji admit defeat.
Unfortunately, he was still a step slower.
Swoosh——
The piercing sound of breaking through the air resounded throughout the venue.
Yagyu jumped high and threw the water javelin in his hand.
Like a meteor flash, the high-speed rotating energy shield shattered instantly with a ‘click’.
Hyuga Neji, whose body was spinning, fell to the ground.
On the ground next to him, there was a water javelin formed by a stream of water, and the head and body of the javelin were immersed in the ground.
The next second, the water javelin exploded.
The terrifying suction force, like an invisible big hand, grabbed Hyuga Neji’s body and spun it at high speed in the air.
The moisture in the air gathered again and turned into water flow to form a vortex eye.
The water flow manifested by the moisture became more and more, and a huge water tornado was formed in the blink of an eye.
The amazing suction force made all the ninjas on the stands grab the handrails and gather chakra with their feet to suck the ground to fight against the water tornado.
”The fifth gate of the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu: Dumen – Open!”
Just when the water tornado was about to destroy the hall and the second-floor stands, a loud shout suddenly sounded.
Then, a figure with green flames all over his body flew out of the stands like an arrow and kicked the water tornado.
The terrifying water tornado was immediately defeated by a kick, and the chakra and water flow turned into a violent storm that swept the entire hall and the second-floor stands, turning everyone into a drowned chicken.
The figure was none other than Might Guy.
When the rain stopped, Might Guy had already landed with the unconscious Hyuga Neji in his arms.
”The battle is over, and the winner is – Yagyu.”
Moonlight Gale immediately returned to the hall and announced the result of the duel.
The whole place was silent!
No matter whether they were men or women, whether they were Genin or Jonin, even Sarutobi Hiruzen, they didn’t care that they had become a drowned chicken.
All of their eyes were focused on Yagyu, who was combing his wet hair with hairspray. ”Gurgle…”
Someone swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the sound broke the atmosphere where a pin drop could be heard.
Trembling voices rang out one after another:
”S… S-class water jutsu!”
”No mistake, this kind of change in nature and form is definitely a water jutsu of the ultimate level!”
”Water whirlpool, water javelin, water tornado, etc… Isn’t this the water jutsu of the Second Hokage Tobirama, Hard Vortex Water Blade?!”
”He is indeed a descendant of the Senju clan!”
”……”
The voices of discussion resounded throughout the venue, and the eyes of those jonin who recognized the hard vortex water blade changed again when they looked at Yagyu.
If they were still half-believing and half-doubting about Hyuga Neji before, now, they are already 90% sure.
Silver hair and red eyes, a monster-like amount of chakra, terrifying water escape attainments, and the water escape secret developed by the second generation Hokage… This is simply the young version of Senju Tobirama!
Yagyu ignored the eyes of these people, walked up to Might Guy, and smiled: “My attack just now avoided his body. He should just be drowning and his chakra consumption is serious. Let me treat him.”
”Then I’ll trouble you, young man. ”
Might Guy, who had already checked Hyuga Neji’s physical condition, grinned.
He did not blame or complain about Yagyu for almost killing his student.
Looking at Yagyu who was treating Hyuga Neji, Sarutobi Hiruzen in the stands, his hand holding the pipe was trembling slightly, and his mood was extremely excited and indescribable.
When Yagyu was in the Ninja School, Sarutobi Hiruzen had already paid attention to this civilian orphan.
After all, the 60th class of Konoha is so special.
Naruto’s generation of newborns represents the future of Konoha.
When they grow up, it means that the weakened Konoha will be rejuvenated.
If they die, it means that the big tree of Konoha will wither completely.
Therefore, whoever dares to touch the newborns of this generation will violate Sarutobi Hiruzen’s bottom line.
Even if he has always tolerated Shimura Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen will be merciless.
At the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen also attaches great importance to the growth and safety of this generation of newborns.
For this reason, he asked Hatake Kakashi to be the guiding jonin for Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke, asked Sarutobi Asuma to be the guiding jonin for Ino Shikacho, and asked Konoha’s illusion expert to be the guiding jonin for Team 8.
Even Hyuga Neji and Tenten, who graduated one year earlier than Yagyu, he also arranged Might Guy to be the guiding jonin for them.
Among the four guiding jonin, there are three elite jonin.
From this, it can be seen how much Sarutobi Hiruzen values the Twelve Little Strongmen.
Yagyu was not originally on Sarutobi Hiruzen’s list of priorities.
Until he became the top student, and was re-elected as the top student, and got close to the heirs of the Hyuga clan and the Yamanaka clan, he really caught Sarutobi Hiruzen’s eye.
Sarutobi Hiruzen also used the crystal telescope technique to observe Yagyu several times. After seeing him teach the three Ino girls the skills of climbing trees and treading water, as well as medical ninjutsu, he found that Yagyu’s chakra control was very good and he was a malleable talent.
After seeing Yagyu show water escape and perception techniques, Sarutobi Hiruzen decided to take a gamble.
He wanted to see if Yagyu had Yin attribute chakra.
So, when he was divided into classes, he chose the latter between Inuzuka Kiba and Yagyu.
After getting the answer from Kurenai Yuhi, Sarutobi Hiruzen’s expectation for Yagyu was just to be a new generation of illusion expert in Konoha.
Unexpectedly, he greatly underestimated this civilian genius! Super large amount of chakra, such water escape attainments, and teacher Tobirama’s water escape·hard vortex water blade…
This boy, whether he is a descendant of the Senju clan or not, such physical talent and water escape talent can cultivate him into a pirated second-generation Hokage! Even if he is just a pirated Tobirama, Yagyu can become a towering tree in Konoha!
When Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke grow up, Konoha will return to the era of having three ninjas! In this way, he is not afraid of being ashamed to meet the previous generation Hokage!
