Chapter 61: Honorable in defeat, Hyuga Hiashi’s expectations
Chapter 61: Honorable in defeat, Hyuga Hiashi’s expectations
”Cough cough… vomit…”
Naruto fell to the ground and rolled over for more than ten times, coughing and retching continuously.
Luckily, he only ate a little ramen today, and it has been almost digested now, otherwise Naruto almost vomited his breakfast.
If he hadn’t had the body of a sage and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, with strong resistance to attacks, Naruto would have been almost knocked out by Akimichi Choji’s palm.
Now his body is still churning, making it impossible for Naruto to get up immediately.
However, seeing that Akimichi Choji was walking towards him, with a completely different sense of oppression from usual, Naruto endured the pain in his body, and quickly stood up, made seals with his hands, closed his eyes and shouted in his heart: “Stinky fox, it’s time to pay the rent!”
Swish——
As if hearing Naruto’s voice, the mental space where the Jinchūriki communicated with the tailed beast, and the Kurama lying in the cage suddenly opened his red vertical pupils.
Red chakra immediately emerged from Naruto’s body, shaking around him like a fox’s tail.
This scene made many ninjas in the audience look surprised.
”This is…”
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru, who was disguised as the Fourth Kazekage, also opened their eyes wide.
The former was surprised that Naruto could initially master the Nine-Tails Chakra, and the latter was surprised that the Five Elements Seal he had planted on Naruto had actually been unlocked.
Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen’s reaction, it was obviously not his teacher’s doing.
Could it be that… that idiot is back? Thinking of the guy who has been pursuing him all these years, Orochimaru’s heart sank.
But thinking of the stage he prepared for Sarutobi teacher, he breathed a sigh of relief.
On the field, the battle continued.
Although it was not the demon fox coat, the nine-tailed chakra still made Naruto’s strength soar, just like Akimichi Choji who took the first pill.
Naruto only felt that the pain in his body disappeared instantly, and what he got was an obsessive power.
Naruto rushed towards Akimichi Choji, and his body instantly turned into a red afterimage, which was a speed that Naruto did not have before.
Akimichi Choji also rushed towards Naruto, and his speed was also very fast.
Two afterimages, one red and one blue, collided with each other, and then Naruto and Choji Akimichi launched a physical duel with common skills and flaws.
If the two were replaced by other top students with the same strength, they could easily suppress or even subdue the other party.
In a ninja school, this would be a duel between two poor students, a fight between two noobs.
However, both of them exuded the arrogance of chakra, and their speed and strength were amazingly improved, resulting in their noob fight not only not being ugly, but giving people a kind of blood-surging feeling of punching to the flesh.
Unfortunately, it didn’t take long for the chakra arrogance on Choji Akimichi to slowly disappear.
The side effects of the first pill also began to take effect, exposing his flaws and being kicked away by Naruto.
The body slid back several meters, sweating and panting, Choji Akimichi took out the transparent rectangular box from the ninja bag again.
Looking at the two pills in the box, Akimichi Choji suddenly hesitated.
Although he didn’t know what was going on with Naruto’s chakra, after the fight just now, his improvement was second only to himself after taking the first pill, and only his speed was stronger than his.
As long as he took the second pill, Akimichi Choji would have the confidence to kill Naruto in one move.
Because after taking the second pill, not only did his strength soar, but his whole body could also become huge, turning into a human mountain, and directly crushing Naruto.
But thinking of his father’s teachings and the significance of these three pills…
Akimichi Choji suddenly took a deep breath, put the box back into the ninja bag, and said to Shiranui Genma: “Examiner, I give up!”
”Huh?”
Before Shiranui Genma announced the result, Naruto, who was full of blood, was like being splashed with a basin of water. The Nine-Tails Chakra on his body disappeared instantly, and he said in astonishment: “Chocci, why do you want to give up?”
”I am not your opponent… I can’t kill my own people.”
The last sentence rang in his heart, and Akimichi Choji dragged his tired body and walked towards the passage of the contestant area.
”The winner of the first exam is-Uzumaki Naruto!”
Shiranui Genma looked deeply at the back of Akimichi Choji,The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and then he announced the result loudly. There was an uproar in the audience, and the applause was thunderous.
The audience who came from other places in the Land of Fire, or from neighboring countries, cheered for the two excellent Genin.
The first game was so intense and exciting, and this trip was worth it.
The nobles also remembered Naruto, who could use so many clones, and Akimichi Choji, who was stronger than a beast. When entrusting tasks in the future, they might think of these two people.
”Choji, you have an excellent son.”
Although Akimichi Choji lost, Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi were full of admiration for the son of this close friend.
Like them, there was Sarutobi Hiruzen in the VIP seat, and a large number of Konoha ninjas who, like Shiranui Genma, knew what the three pills of the Akimichi clan represented.
Just like the original work’s evaluation of Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Choji’s surrender made the Konoha’s high-ranking officials see the traditional gentleness of the Akimichi clan and the will of fire in him.
This generation of butterfly heirs is very outstanding.
Of course, Naruto didn’t know that Akimichi Choji had let him off.
He was immersed in joy as he received cheers for the first time, waving to the audience and running towards the contestant area.
”Yagyu, come on, beat Shikamaru down hard.”
”Hey, hey… I’m still next to you, we’re teammates.”
”Yagyu-kun, come on.”
With the cheers of Ino and Hinata, Yagyu and Nara Shikamaru walked out of the contestant channel, and under the attention of everyone, they came to the side of Shiranui Genma and stood facing each other.
“Father, is he my sister’s teammate?”
Hanabi, who was sitting next to Hyuga Hiashi in the audience, asked curiously, “Is he the one who defeated Neji?”
”Yes.”
Hyuga Hiashi nodded expressionlessly, but his heart was full of mixed emotions.
Just like Yamanaka Inoichi and Sarutobi Hiruzen, Hyuga Hiashi had noticed Yagyu many years ago.
At first, Hyuga Hiashi didn’t care about Ino’s frequent visits and invitations to Hinata to go out and play.
But as Hinata took the initiative to go to the gym to practice every time she came back, and she practiced some basics that only Genin were qualified to learn, which were not taught in ninja schools, Hyuga Hiashi became suspicious.
A certain stalking made him discover Yagyu.
As an adult, Hyuga Hiashi saw Hinata’s vague feelings for Yagyu at a glance.
However, he did not stop Hinata from interacting with them, because Hyuga Hiashi found that Yagyu’s existence could bring Hinata a strong motivation to practice.
And Yagyu is also a civilian genius of this era. He can be the top student in such a special new generation, which shows that his talent and potential are very excellent.
If Yagyu can continue to maintain this excellence and Hinata really likes him, Hyuga Hiashi does not mind letting Yagyu marry into the Hyuga clan.
Because as Hanabi grows up, Hyuga Hiashi found that Hanabi’s talent and personality are more suitable for inheriting the main family of the Hyuga clan than Hinata.
When it comes to making a decision, he is willing to let Yagyu marry into the Hyuga clan to compensate Hinata, the eldest daughter.
But unexpectedly, Yagyu is actually a descendant of the Senju clan.
At a young age, he has mastered powerful illusions and the secrets of water escape. Such a talent is simply a smaller version of the second generation of Hokage.
This is… great!
With this bloodline and talent, he is definitely the future successor of Hokage.
Once Yagyu becomes the future Hokage, he will have a reason to let Hinata marry out, so that both daughters can avoid the fate of being caged birds! So, Hyuga Hiashi is now full of expectations and attention for Yagyu.
This time he brought Hanabi to watch the official game, not for Hinata, but for Yagyu!
