Chapter 24 - 24: Thoughts on Graduation

Uchiha bloodline + Indra Chakra + Nawaki's physique + Sakura's Chakra control talent. It's a good thing Tsunade didn't know about Kazuki's situation, otherwise she would probably shed tears of envy. Over the past three months, the combat arean had refreshed three times, but in these three instances, Kazuki's luck wasn't as good as it was initially. First time: Newly Awakened Kamui - Obito Final Battle - Kimimaro Fifth Raikage - Darui Otogakure Sound Four - Tayuya Kazuki had to admit that his strength was still a bit lacking. Even Obito, who had just awakened his Mangekyo Sharingan, was not someone he could contend with at present. Darui was, after all, the Fifth Raikage, and he similarly couldn't defeat him. When fighting Kimimaro, Kazuki had planned to stall for time. He remembered that during this battle, Kimimaro was already gravely ill, so as long as he prolonged the fight, he might be able to win. However, Kazuki ultimately overestimated himself and underestimated Kimimaro. Kimimaro was capable of participating in battles with Orochimaru and the Fourth Kazekage. He was not someone Kazuki could deal with at his current stage. Even though he tried his best to stall, he was still easily defeated. Kazuki strongly suspected that Kimimaro very likely possessed the strength of an elite Jonin. Tayuya was easily defeated by Kazuki, but what he gained was merely the combination jutsu, Four Black Fogs Formation, which was useless to him. Putting aside the fact that he wouldn't use it, even if he needed to, Kazuki could learn it from Mito, a master of Sealing Jutsu. In terms of Sealing Jutsu, few people in the entire Ninja World's history have been more outstanding than Mito. Second month: Night of the Uchiha Clan Annihilation - Itachi The Legendary Sannin - Tsunade Chunin Exams - Gaara Tragedy of the Era - Senju Itama Itama was Hashirama's youngest brother, who was apparently surrounded and killed by five adult members of the Uchiha clan, and he was even tortured. Even Kazuki had to admit that the Uchiha of that era had many psychopaths. . They wouldn't even spare children from their own clan. Hikari was a microcosm of the Uchiha of that era. Of course, it wasn't to say that only the Uchiha had problems. If it were the Senju, facing Uchiha children, they would also act without hesitation to eliminate them. Kazuki was naturally no match for Itachi, who had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, the gap between them was too great. This Tsunade in question was the Tsunade from the period of the Sannin's famous battle, which was Tsunade a few years in the future. By that time, Tsunade had already been tempered on the battlefield, and her strength had greatly improved, making her someone Kazuki could not contend with. Itama, on the other hand, was easily defeated by Kazuki, but unfortunately, he did not acquire Itama's physique. Instead, he gained Itama's Chakra reserves, which slightly increased his Chakra. Kazuki then went on to lose to Gaara during the Chunin Exams. If it were just Gaara, Kazuki could handle him, and even eventually win. However, when Gaara saw that he couldn't defeat Kazuki, he released the One Tail, which was not something Kazuki could contend with at his current stage. Third month: Chunin Exams - Inuzuka Kiba Descendant of the Yuki Clan - Haku Chunin Exams - Hyuga Neji Akatsuki - Puppet Master Sasori Defeating Kiba allowed Kazuki to gain an affinity for canines. Haku, on the other hand, allowed Kazuki to master one-handed hand signs. Kazuki not only grasped the essence of one-handed hand signs but also significantly increased his hand sign speed. Defeating Neji took some effort for Kazuki. Neji during the Chunin Exams was essentially a plot kill by Naruto. If Naruto hadn't unleashed the Nine-Tails's power, he would have been no match for Neji at all. Fortunately, Kazuki's strength was greater than that of an average Chunin. After some effort, he defeated Neji and acquired Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms. If Hizashi and Hiashi knew that Kazuki, an Uchiha, used Gentle Fist better than them, who knows how they would feel? However, Kazuki found it difficult to use Gentle Fist. Without the Byakugan's cooperation, the full power of Gentle Fist could not be unleashed. Kazuki planned to integrate Gentle Fist into his own combat system and research his own combat techniques. He clearly remembered that Naruto and Momoshiki both used traditional martial arts. Momoshiki used standard Eight Trigrams Palms, and Naruto used many Wing Chun movements. One regrets not having learned enough when it's time to use it. Six Paths level battles are this unpretentious. Kazuki deeply regretted not having learned these things before his transmigration. Otherwise, with traditional martial arts, the Chakra system, and his cheat, wouldn't he be even more invincible? As for Sasori, Kazuki was instantly defeated. A Kage-level master was not someone he could challenge. In the original story, Chiyo and Sakura teamed up to defeat Sasori, but it was more because Sasori himself didn't want to live. Otherwise, for their combination to defeat Sasori? That's dreaming, it would already be good if they didn't directly hand two heads to Sasori. However, not gaining too many good things from the combat arena did not mean Kazuki's strength didn't improve. In fact, he was still growing at a visible rate. Not only did he research Chidori, but he also learned many combat techniques from Tsunade. Even Mito didn't hide much from him. As long as he asked, she would patiently answer him. Mito even taught Kazuki some of Madara's combat techniques. The person who understood Madara the most was not Izuna, but Hashirama. The second most knowledgeable was Tobirama. Tobirama's study had no less than a hundred different approaches to counter Madara. As for whether they would be useful, that's up to individual interpretation. In any case, Madara was already dead, so there was no possibility of verification. Mito, through immersion, also learned many of Madara's combat techniques, all of which were taught to Kazuki one by one. As for whether Kazuki could grow into a second Madara, Mito herself wasn't sure. Anyway, helping Kazuki become stronger was enough. "Kazuki, are you planning to graduate early?" Nawaki suddenly asked Kazuki out of the blue. Nawaki's question made Tsunade and Kushina turn their heads, wanting to see if Kazuki was willing to graduate early. "Maybe, but I plan to graduate next year. Why? Are you planning to graduate early?" Kazuki didn't hide his thoughts. "My strength seems pretty good right now, but I'm still only six years old, and there's still a lot of potential to be unearthed."
