immediately understood. One of the Uzumaki clan's abilities allows them to rapidly recover chakra and heal wounds by biting either their own skin or that of another person.
So, Kazekaze slightly opened his mouth, enduring the intense pain in his body, and he held Yuna's skin in his mouth for a brief moment before biting down hard, drawing chakra from her. This chakra complemented Kazekaze's healing technique, healing his injuries at an unprecedented speed.
After about two or three breaths, Kazekaze felt his body wasn't in as much pain. After five or six breaths, Kazekaze was fully revitalized. Yuna, on the other hand, covered her mouth with her small hand, trying to stifle a soft gasp.
Uzumaki Weiming never expected Yuna to heal Kazekaze in this way and was utterly dumbfounded. In fact, not every member of the Uzumaki clan possesses Yuna's ability. Only those with particularly pure bloodlines can use physical healing. Even though he was also from the Uzumaki clan, Weiming lacked the ability to heal himself this way—making Yuna's gift all the more extraordinary.
But no matter how you look at it… Being used in such a way is extremely embarrassing. Especially for a lady of Yuna's status. Until now, she had never healed anyone's injuries. Not even he had received such treatment. This was Yuna-sama's first time.
Thinking of this, Uzumaki Weiming looked down at his own wound. Pierced by a shuriken, it would probably take a month or two to fully recover.
Meanwhile, Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly approached Toroi. Although Kazekaze had defeated Toroi with the Morning Peacock, he hadn't managed to kill him. Looking at the extremely weakened Toroi, Sarutobi half-knelt, pulling out a kunai with one hand. If they let Toroi go here, he wouldn't abandon his mission due to Konoha's mercy.
For a ninja, the mission always comes first. Even if it means sacrificing a comrade's life, it must be completed. And both he and Weiming had been magnetized by Toroi. Kazekaze's trump card had also been exposed. When Toroi returns, they might be the ones to lose!
"Your Kekkei Genkai is truly troublesome." Sarutobi paused slightly, "Do you have anything to say?"
Toroi stared at Sarutobi, knowing that from any perspective, he was doomed. If he and Sarutobi switched roles, he would be even more ruthless. After all… This was a conflict between two ninja villages due to mission differences. Even if the Raikage knew of his death, it wouldn't start a war over it. This is the fate of a ninja. However, before dying, Toroi wanted to know Kazekaze's identity.
"That Konoha brat, who exactly is he..." Toroi managed to squeeze out a complete sentence, still filled with shock!
A seven or eight-year-old kid possessing the terrifying power to wipe out a ninja unit! And in this ninja unit, there was even a Jonin with a Kekkei Genkai! At such a young age, with such extraordinary talent.
When he turns seventeen, or twenty-seven, How strong will he become? It's unimaginable. In Toroi's view, Kazekaze will inevitably become the strongest enemy of the Hidden Cloud Village.
No… He could very well be the strongest enemy in the entire ninja world! Damn it! Why couldn't such a kid be born in the Hidden Cloud Village! If he were born in the Hidden Cloud Village, he would definitely become the strongest Raikage in history! Damn it! Why did fate have to place such a monster in Konoha instead of Kumogakure?!
Sarutobi glanced back at Kazekaze, who could now stand, a slight bitter smile appearing on his lips.
"Kazekaze-sama… his power is monstrous, beyond belief. Half a month ago, he was just an ordinary child, without any training." Sarutobi spoke truthfully.
After all, Toroi wouldn't survive. There was nothing to worry about telling him these things. As expected, Toroi's eyes widened instantly upon hearing this, as if having a final burst of energy, filled with shock and disbelief.
"Are you saying that Konoha brat became this strong in just half a month?" But how is that possible! "How does Konoha train its ninjas..."
Toroi felt his worldview completely collapse, unable to even imagine Kazekaze's growth. A seven-year-old child gaining the power to defeat him in just half a month. It's too unbelievable!
"Train?" Sarutobi shook his head, feeling the word 'train' was inappropriate.
"Do you really think a power this terrifying can be trained? Kazekaze-sama's starting point at birth was the endpoint countless ninjas can't even see."
No Kekkei Genkai, no clan secret techniques, no vast chakra reserves. Such a person, even if they become a ninja, would only reach the level of a Chunin at best. Some can't even pass the Chunin exams.
However, Sarutobi firmly believed in Kazekaze's future. With his talent, he might only need to take the exam once to become a Chunin.
"A terrifying genius capable of wiping out a ninja unit, truly a monstrous being." Sarutobi gazed at Kazekaze's small figure, sighing deeply.
"Alright, Toroi, it's time for you to go." With that, Hiruzen Sarutobi turned, swung the kunai, and slit Toroi's throat.
To ensure he hadn't killed a clone, Sarutobi watched Toroi closely, seeing his blood drain, pupils dilate, and then checked his vital signs again.
There's no doubt—Toroi is completely dead this time." Sarutobi took a deep breath, confirmed there were no issues, stood up, and walked towards Kazekaze and the others, putting away the kunai.
"Speaking of which, the Chunin selection is in a few days, isn't it?" Suddenly, Sarutobi seemed to think of something, murmuring to himself, his gaze focused on Kazekaze.
He wondered if it was just his imagination, feeling that Lord Tobirama allowing Kazekaze to become a Genin and undertake missions at this time wasn't a coincidence. Of course, Kazekaze currently knew nothing about the Chunin selection exam. He moved slightly, finding his body fully recovered.
"Is it resolved?" Noticing Sarutobi returning, Kazekaze specifically asked.
Since they were enemy village ninjas, they should be eradicated. After receiving Sarutobi's affirmative answer, Kazekaze nodded slightly.
"It seems the journey ahead shouldn't encounter more ninjas. By the way..." Kazekaze blinked, then glanced at the cooldown time of the check-in system.
"Escorting Yuna to the Land of Whirlpools and returning to Konoha should align perfectly for the fourth check-in."
