Chapter 13 Water Style - Mist Hibernation Technique, Sarutobi Hiruzen was shocked again!

Konoha, Hokage's office.

The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was holding a crystal ball and looking at it intently.

Suddenly, his expression changed drastically.

His eyes were wide open.

His expression changed from calm to shocked.

"Zhou Cheng is a very talented kid."

"If you have seen a ninjutsu once, you can learn it and perform it successfully."

"Even if it's just an E-rank ninjutsu, the clone jutsu."

"But the clone technique also requires a certain level of chakra control."

"And he still looks so relaxed."

"How dare this kid challenge Neji!"

"You're pretty courageous, but a little impulsive."

"Even without using his Byakugan, Neji is still the strongest among his classmates."

"With his Byakugan open, his strength is already beyond that of an ordinary Genin."

"And others have been practicing since they were four or five years old."

"Do you dare to say that your one month's efforts can surpass others' five or six years' efforts?"

"But this is also good. It gives me more time to observe you and see if you can become the direct descendant of my Hokage lineage."

He puffed on his pipe, smoke puffing out of his mouth.

"Relying on the Anbu alone to investigate is too slow. Let's find some time to use interrogation ninjutsu on Zhou Cheng and Bai to dig out the deepest secrets in their minds."

“If there are no problems after that, I will focus on training them.”

At the same time, underground in Konoha, at the root.

A team fight, a man sitting alone in the dark.

His single eye, which was exposed, emitted a cold light in the darkness.

"Master Danzo, Zhou Cheng is going to school for the first time today. After watching the teacher perform a ninjutsu once, he will be able to perform a ninjutsu successfully."

The eye in the darkness appeared in an instant.

"Sure enough, I was not mistaken."

"This child's talent is truly monstrous."

"This kind of person must be in my Danzo's hands."

Then he saw that the ninja didn't retreat, so he gestured for him to continue.

"Zhou Cheng threatened to challenge Hyuga Neji in a month in public."

Danzo, who was originally sitting, stood up suddenly.

"What, you dare to challenge Hyuga Neji!"

"This kid is a little impulsive. Hyuga Neji's talent is said to be the highest in the history of the Hyuga family."

"At such a young age, he has already opened his Byakugan, and his attainments in taijutsu are not low either."

"The most important thing is that others have been practicing since they were 4 years old."

"Five years longer than Zhou Cheng."

"Does he want to catch up with someone else's five years in one month?"

“It’s a bit impulsive indeed.”

Then he slowly sat down again.

No one could see his expression in the darkness.

"But it's okay this way. If he can defeat Hyuga Neji in a month, I will do whatever it takes to snatch him from Hiruzen."

At this moment, in Zhou Cheng's classroom, the huge noise finally slowly stopped.

Everyone had different expressions after being shocked.

Most people look down on Zhou Cheng and despise him.

No one thought he could defeat Neji.

of course there are exceptions.

Naruto, the blue-eyed man from Jinhua, stood up, smiled and cheered loudly for Zhou Cheng.

"Zhou Cheng, I believe you can do it."

His words drew a lot of eye rolls.

idiot.

The tail end of the car is the tail end of the car.

I can't even see the situation clearly.

Neji is the most talented person of our generation.

Use one month to add up to the 5-year gap.

Only an idiot would believe that.

Zhou Cheng also laughed, he really deserves to be the best talker.

"Thank you, Naruto!"

Then, a child threatened to challenge Hyuga Neji.

It quickly spread among the father-generation ninjas of the students in the class.

They all just laughed it off.

When faced with something whose outcome is already determined, there is no need to waste time on it.

Ordinary Genin has to be extremely alert when facing Hyuga Neji.

If you are not careful, it is easy to capsize in the ditch.

Soon, the ninja school was over.

They are all a group of children, and they look forward to the end of get out of class during class.

Now that school is over, they can't wait to rush out.

In just a few minutes, the classroom was empty.

Only Zhou Cheng and Bai were left, as well as Naruto and Hinata.

Zhou Cheng is no longer a child mentally.

Naturally, he didn't have the mind of a child and would rush out of the school to play as soon as school was over.

If he doesn't leave, Bai naturally won't leave either.

And Naruto just didn't want to return to an empty home.

So he wanted to stay longer in crowded places.

As for Hinata, she made a bento for Naruto to eat.

But there were other people around, and she was too shy to take it out.

"Naruto, see you tomorrow!"

Zhou Cheng greeted Naruto, then stood up and walked towards the classroom door.

As he passed by Hinata, he smiled gently at her.

"Hinata, come on, you're the best!"

Then, he left the classroom with Hinata blushing with embarrassment.

"Thank you, thank you, Zhou Chengjun!"

She was so embarrassed that her head almost dropped to her chest.

As Zhou Cheng walked out of the classroom, Naruto's voice came from behind him.

"Zhou Cheng, you must win!"

Zhou Cheng paused, without turning around, he raised his thumb with his back to Naruto.

He still admires Naruto very much, putting aside his halo as the protagonist.

His indomitable spirit.

The way of ninja is to do what you say.

It is worth learning for many people.

Many people give up easily when they encounter difficulties.

And his cheerful and sunny personality.

If it were someone else, they would have grown up in such an environment.

Even if he didn't turn evil, he wouldn't become a very outstanding person.

For example, if Naruto didn't exist,

From the moment he obtains the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, Konoha will never have peace.

Well, in the early plot, if Naruto didn't rely on the Nine-Tails' plug-in, he would be indeed weaker than other cockroaches.

Do you want to help him?

Naruto's chakra attribute is wind, so I can't help him even if I want to, but I can ask Bai who has awakened ice escape to teach him.

Soon they both returned home.

The two were too lazy to cook, so they each made a bucket of instant ramen and ate it.

After eating, they came to the yard.

Zhou Cheng took out the ninjutsu scroll given by the third generation and looked at Bai.

"Let's learn the water ninjutsu first."

Bai nodded heavily. Although he possessed a bloodline limit, he was still a novice in other ninjutsu.

Moreover, as a ninja, no one would complain about learning too many ninjutsu.

They first performed the simplest water-style jutsu - the Mist Hidden Technique.

The hand seal technique for this ninjutsu is recorded on the scroll.

The direction and speed of chakra movement.

And all precautions.

The top chakra control talent increased Zhou Cheng's learning speed for any ninjutsu.

Then add the experience theory of the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Zhou Cheng just felt that he was familiar with this ninjutsu.

These ninjutsu were given to them by the third generation, so they were not afraid of anyone causing trouble when they were practicing.

Zhou Cheng started practicing in the yard.

"Water Release - Kirigakure's Jutsu!"

Zhou Cheng opened his mouth and a thick white mist gushed out of his mouth, instantly spreading to the entire yard.

However, the concentration of the mist was not high. Zhou Cheng knew that this was because he did not inject too much chakra.

Moreover, his current chakra supply does not support unlimited use.

The concentration of the mist is determined by how much chakra the caster injects into the ninjutsu.

Zhou Cheng did not continue to maintain the white mist, so it quickly dissipated.

Then he saw Bai looking at him with admiration.

"Brother Zhou Cheng, your talent is truly amazing. No, it should be terrifying!"

"This is a D-level ninjutsu. You learned it in just one try?"

Zhou Cheng smiled and walked towards Bai.

"Your talent is not inferior to mine, don't underestimate yourself!"

Bai saw Zhou Cheng's sincere eyes and nodded heavily.

Then, like Zhou Cheng, he formed seals and mobilized chakra.

"Water Style - Mist Hidden Technique."

There was silence.

"Sure enough, I failed!"

Bai was a little frustrated and lowered his head.

Zhou Cheng also thought he had failed and was about to comfort him.

But suddenly a white mist appeared in the yard.

"This is the Mist Hidden Technique!"

"By the way, the scroll states that there are two methods of using the Mist Hidden Technique."

Zhou Cheng remembered the contents of the scroll.

“I’m the first type, blowing out thick fog through my mouth.”

"You should be the second type, condensing the thick fog in the air."

Zhou Cheng smiled happily.

"Look, your talent is no less than mine!"

Bai smiled gently.

But what they didn't know was that everything they did in the yard was being seen clearly by everyone.
