Chapter 9 - NTHO: Chapter 9

"Prepare well, there will be some strong kids in the village. The last one is a one-on-one, you have to win." Haryu said to Sasuke and Naruto. Haryu seemed to be the only child who wasn't intimidated.

"This kid is a good prospect." Ibiki, standing on the stage, naturally noticed and said to Iruka.

"Yeah, he was raised by the Third Hokage himself. Last time, Asuma mentioned him, from his tone, he seemed a little jealous, haha." Iruka also liked this kid and naturally told Ibiki everything he knew.

"We'll know if he's straw or steel soon enough."

"Yeah, hey, if you need to use your hands, be gentle!" Iruka was really worried about his future students. He knew Ibiki's methods very well, once he made a move, it would be either death or serious injury.

"Don't worry, I'll know my limits when it comes to the kids from our own village." But this statement obviously didn't have much convincing power, after all, Iruka had heard it so many times that he could practically recite it backwards.

"Well, since you said that, I can't really say anything. I'll go and watch later." Iruka sighed and made a decision. He really couldn't trust Ibiki to proctor alone.

Half an hour passed.

"Everyone gather here!" The whip mercilessly whipped the ground beside him, even Iruka shivered. A person who was used to being gentle wouldn't adapt to such strictness immediately. He smiled awkwardly and announced to the students: "Listen up, children. You can start lining up in three rows now, the order doesn't matter, just stand in line. Then start counting from 1, and when you reach 5, start from the beginning. After counting, the student number 1 goes to the left straight path and waits, number 2 goes to the left curve, number 3 goes to the central field, number 4 and 3 go to the same place, but keep a clear boundary. Number 5 goes to the lake outside the school. After finishing one test, move to the next one in a clockwise direction. After finishing all the tests, gather at the school's practice field, your instructors will take you there. Did you hear that?" Iruka explained in detail, but the students didn't dare to speak. Even if Iruka was gentle, there was a fierce teacher standing beside him.

"1""2""3""4""5"

The students counted one by one, and Naruto and Sasuke were separated from Haryu.

Naruto was number 1, Sasuke was number 2, and Haryu was number 3. But it didn't matter, as Haryu didn't know the strength of the others, he would naturally give his all in this test. Although he was also a little strange why he was so eager to become stronger, that's just how it was, he just followed his heart.

Become stronger, and stronger.

The test began!

Haryu's first test, number 3, was about strength. Five instructors held sandbags, and the students needed to hit the sandbags so that the instructors could feel their strength. These instructors were all very clear about the strength levels of this exam, so this was a fair test.

"What do you think Haryu can achieve?" Minato stood on a tree, asking the Third Hokage, who was also observing the test below.

"Haha, he'll definitely surprise you. I estimate he can at least make the one holding the sandbag take a step back."

"What!?" Minato was shocked by this estimate. He knew that the Third Hokage wouldn't joke about this kind of thing. But those instructors were all strong men, they were all chosen from Konoha's elite close-combat troops. How could such physiques be pushed back by Haryu, who looked thin in comparison?

"Just watch, I can't say how Haryu will develop. But he is definitely a prodigy." The Third Hokage was very proud, a prodigy also needs a good teacher. And he considered himself to be that "good teacher." If his student was excellent, it would be a credit to him.

It began.

Facing the sandbag, Haryu was a little confused. This kind of sandbag was very easy to break.

But he didn't have time to hesitate, he had prepared his starting stance, ready to use his strongest force to settle it in one blow.

The examiner blew his whistle, and Haryu immediately began. His right hand was behind his back, his legs were spread in a bow stance, his left hand was in front of him to protect himself, and he rotated in the opposite direction.

"What kind of posture is that?" The children who hadn't seen Haryu before naturally didn't recognize his self-created taijutsu style. But before these kids could gossip, Haryu's upper body had already started to rotate!

Tenryū Style - First Style - Finishing Move: Horizontal Whip!

Puh, pa! Da.

The first sound was the sound of his arm hitting the sandbag.

The second sound was the sound of the sandbag shattering.

The third sound was the instructor taking a heavy step back.

The students in the same testing area were already amazed, their mouths agape. Only six years old, and a horizontal sweep from a stationary position could push back a Genin or possibly even a Chunin through the sandbag. How terrifying!

Breaking the sandbag +30 points, pushing back the instructor +20 points, the instructor's score was 50 points.

100 points, a perfect score for a single item!

"Wow, as expected of Haryu." Minato couldn't help but exclaim from the tree. He knew about this taijutsu style, but he didn't expect that such a move could instantly accumulate so much energy.

The Third Hokage was even happier, as if he had become a few years younger.

The test continued, other students also finished their tests one by one and gathered together to rest.

Among the remaining students, none of them could push back the instructors, and only a few could make the instructors tremble. Among these, there was a fat boy who, seeing Haryu alone, walked towards him. He could sense Haryu's kindness.

"Hey, kid! Want some chips? We'll be friends if you eat chips." He extended his chubby hand, holding a bag of chips that had just been opened.

Although Haryu didn't know him, he took a few chips friendly. Since the other boy was trying to make friends, he might as well make one. "My name is Haryu, nice to meet you." Haryu smiled and said to the chubby boy.

The fat boy replied in a slightly hoarse voice: "My name is Akimichi Choji, nice to meet you!" Even when he smiled, his eyes were perfectly hidden.

The two of them walked towards the next test together. This one was about defense.

There were three instructors wearing gloves on the field. Although they were different in size, their attack methods and the way they inflicted damage were different, they had come up with the same scoring standard. A thinner instructor, three punches for one point; a slightly stronger one, one punch plus one kick for one point; and the strongest one, one punch for one point.

Haryu and Choji went on stage at the same time. Choji looked at Haryu, in order to take care of his thin physique, he kindly took the strongest position. Haryu recognized Choji's kindness and smiled at him, then walked towards the instructor in the middle. He naturally wouldn't choose the weakest opponent.

"Here, you can use any means to defend, you cannot actively attack the instructors, dodging attacks doesn't count. If you can't hold on, call out to stop, and the instructor will stop. Calling out to stop, or being knocked away or knocked down, will be considered the end of the test, and the score will be calculated based on the total points." The person in charge of the testing area told the students.

As before, Haryu confidently went first. The other students either hadn't recovered from the recoil of the previous attack, or they wanted to see how capable this white-clothed boy really was. Choji also followed Haryu, accompanying him to be scrutinized.

"Little guy, I'm going to start now." The instructor reminded Haryu, then charged towards him with a straight punch.

"Yes, please go easy on me!" Haryu assumed his starting stance, calmly facing the instructor's fist.

Tenryū Style currently had no moves to dissipate force, so Haryu could only rely on "Finding a Gap" to defend. And this obviously wasn't suitable for defense. Going head-to-head with a pair of big fists wasn't his style.

"Third Hokage, he won't be able to hold on for long. After all, he's still young, he doesn't have many methods." Minato was a little worried. Such a good prospect, don't let him be knocked out with one punch because of arrogance. That would affect the entire Shinobi World.

"Sigh, this really isn't Haryu's forte. I hope he can control himself." The Third Hokage frowned, staring intently at Haryu, afraid that something would happen to him. Those fists were blind.

But his worries were unnecessary.

Although Haryu couldn't defend effectively, and couldn't actively attack, but passive defense was always possible, right?

So, a scene of meeting each move with a countermove unfolded.

Tenryū Style - First Style! Finding a Gap!

Facing this straight punch, Haryu squatted slightly, his left arm raised slightly. "Little guy, dodging doesn't count." The instructor kindly reminded him. He saw Haryu squat down, and he thought he was going to dodge this attack.

"Don't worry, uncle, I won't dodge." The fist was in front of his eyes, and at this moment, Haryu punched out!

His left fist accurately hit the instructor's wrist, the punch shifted upwards, away from Haryu's body.

"Not bad, this time it's a kick!" The instructor, seeing such a counter for the first time, was instantly excited, and kicked straight towards Haryu.

Again! His left fist hit his ankle! What kind of prediction and reaction speed was this!

This straight kick was blocked towards the ground, the attack was countered again.

Choji on the right, after using some Partial Multi-Size Technique, was constantly taking hits, while Haryu was exchanging blows with the instructor, a stalemate, and the instructor hadn't touched Haryu once.

Just as Haryu started to gasp for breath, four groups of people had already passed by, and the last group was about to go on stage. But as an instructor, the man facing Haryu was still breathing steadily. After all, it was an adult hitting a child, if he was tired, it wouldn't make sense.

"Come again, please test my limits." Haryu requested. This kind of test had made him want to explore his current limits.

"Alright, if you can't hold on, be sure to say so, there are still three more tests." The instructor reminded him, but didn't stop his movements.

Accelerate, charge! Still a straight punch! This time, when Haryu wanted to use "Finding a Gap" again, he felt a slight numbness. It seemed that his left arm was overloaded. So he drew out his right arm.

Horizontal Whip! He deflected the straight punch!

"Instructor, just one more time."

Pa!

This straight kick was directly knocked away by the second use of the Horizontal Whip.

Haryu couldn't hold on anymore.

"Not bad, kid, go check your score. Don't rush to go on stage again, get some rest." The instructor who faced Haryu knew at this point that he had probably encountered a true prodigy, so he paid special attention to him.

"That kid I just fought was really good, go check his score for me. I'm exhausted!" The instructor said, and he directly sat down on the ground.

After a while, the other two instructors came back after checking the scores: "That kid you fought, he actually exceeded the score limit! He took 126 punches plus 126 kicks!"

Another perfect score for a single item.

"Haryu, how many points did you get? I took 82 heavy punches."

"I haven't checked yet, I'll go later. Not bad, congratulations, Choji."

"Heh, defense is our Akimichi clan's forte. Let's go! To the next one!"
