An unusual scene appeared in the Konoha Orphanage.
Four people, one dog, and one cat were gathered around the dining table, eating dinner.
"Boss's cooking is too delicious!"
Shirayuki sighed. "Becoming Boss's summon beast really was the right choice, ow!"
Kurohana said nothing and only focused on devouring the food.
The relationship between shinobi and summon beasts was equal, so they could also eat at the table.
Of course, Natsuki had specially prepared food for them, which was different from theirs.
Kushina drank a mouthful of chicken soup and could not help letting out a breath.
While she was at it, she reached out and rubbed Shirayuki's head.
Girls could not resist cute things, and she was no exception.
By comparison, Nonō ate very elegantly.
She calmly picked up a piece of beef, put it into her mouth, and chewed carefully, feeling the delicious taste spread through her mouth.
But very quickly, she felt defeated.
During this period, she had also been learning cooking, but no matter how she learned, she could not catch up to Natsuki.
"It's way better than my sister's cooking!"
Nawaki said with genuine feeling.
Natsuki glanced at him.
In the original work, there had been a scene of Tsunade cooking, and the victim had been Nawaki.
The reason the word victim was used was because Tsunade's cooking was extrely bad.
In that scene, Nawaki's face turned more than half black from eating it, as if he had been poisoned.
"What are you planning to do during sumr vacation?"
Natsuki asked casually.
"I'll continue learning Water Release from Sensei."
Nawaki said while taking ti to answer.
"I don't have sumr vacation."
Nonō shook her head and said.
"I plan to go back to the Uzumaki Clan with Tsunade-sama."
Kushina raised her head and said.
She was not the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki now, and with Tsunade there, she could go outside the village.
After all, she had not gone ho for almost half a year.
Natsuki was slightly stunned.
He suddenly thought of a question. When was the Uzumaki Clan destroyed?
In the original work, the specific ti was not ntioned. It should have happened before the Second Shinobi World War.
However, this matter was quite complicated, and the current him would have a hard ti helping.
"Natsuki, what about you?"
Kushina asked in return.
"Sensei said he would take outside the village to do missions."
Natsuki answered.
"Huh?"
Nawaki widened his eyes and asked, "Why didn't Sensei call too?"
"Will it be dangerous to go outside the village for missions?"
Nonō imdiately asked worriedly.
"With Sensei there, there won't be any danger."
Natsuki said with a smile.
"I want to go too!"
Nawaki ca back to his senses and said, "I'll go find Sensei later!"
"Then you'll still have to convince your sister."
Natsuki reminded him.
"She'll definitely agree!"
Nawaki said subconsciously.
But he did not have much confidence in his heart.
"What a pity. If I didn't have to go back to the Uzumaki Clan, I would definitely go with you."
Kushina said with so regret.
"There will be chances."
Natsuki said without minding it.
"That's true."
Kushina nodded and said, "Next ti, I'll go with you."
Ti ca to the next day, the final exam for second-year Class A.
As usual, the first day was the theory exam, and the second day was the practical exam.
After desperately grinding through practice questions, Natsuki could now consistently place in the top three in the theory exam.
As long as he obtained first place in the practical exam, his overall ranking would generally also be first.
However, this final exam was a little different for Natsuki.
Because he needed to obtain first place this ti to unlock Ability Three of the Shiba Tatsuya Template.
The next morning, on the Ninja Academy's training field.
"Minato."
Natsuki asked, "How prepared are you for this practical exam?"
"I've been preparing for a long ti."
Minato said with a smile, "I won't disappoint you."
"Hey, don't ignore !"
Kushina snorted lightly and said, "Maybe I'll be the one who takes first place in this practical exam!"
She was not being arrogant. She truly had the strength to compete with Natsuki and Minato.
In the previous monthly exams, she had defeated Onodera and beco third place in second-year Class A's practical exam.
After all, her Sensei was Uzumaki Mito.
In the current Konoha, Mito could be considered the strongest.
With powerful sealing techniques and her status as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, even Hiruzen would find it hard to say he could defeat her.
Not far away, Onodera looked at the three of them and only felt that there was a pitifully thick barrier between them.
He had thought he was a genius, but after more than a year of beatings, he had already recognized reality.
At nine in the morning, Ishida Yū arrived on ti, and the practical exam officially began.
"Third round, fourth match, Kira Natsuki versus Namikaze Minato."
As Ishida Yū's voice sounded, the second-year class imdiately beca lively. So supported Natsuki, and so supported Minato.
But compared to one year ago, when most had overwhelmingly supported Minato, the majority of students were now leaning toward supporting Natsuki.
"Please."
Minato took a deep breath. No longer affected by the outside world, he beca extrely serious.
Natsuki nodded and took out a wooden blade.
He launched the attack first.
One Sword Style, Thirty-Six Pound Phoenix!
The high-speed wooden blade suddenly shook, producing a sword wave.
Seeing this, Minato imdiately ford hand seals with both hands.
Chakra gathered in his hands, then transford into a gust of fierce wind.
This was the C-rank Wind Release, Gale Palm.
Natsuki was inevitably a little surprised.
Why was it not Fire Release?
After all, what Jiraiya was best at was Fire Release.
Of course, he could also use Wind Release.
Although he had not used it much in the original work, Nagato had used Wind Release, Gale Palm.
And Nagato's ninjutsu had all been taught by Jiraiya.
With a boom, the sword wave tore through the fierce wind.
Minato was not surprised either. He had prepared for this in advance and had already avoided the remnants of the sword wave.
After stabilizing himself, he imdiately threw a shuriken.
The shuriken was very fast.
Natsuki instinctively felt that sothing was wrong and quickly used Reinforcent Magecraft.
He subconsciously raised the wooden blade in his hand.
The wooden blade shook and actually broke in the middle.
Fortunately, after the wooden blade blocked it, Natsuki had enough ti to dodge left and avoid the shuriken.
"Wind Release, Shuriken? No wonder."
Natsuki glanced at the shuriken embedded in the ground and saw the sharp edge covering its surface.
That was Wind Release chakra.
Wind Release, Shuriken was a technique that attached Wind Release chakra to shuriken, making them faster and increasing their cutting power.
Even the reinforced wooden blade could not block it.
The students of second-year Class A also let out cries of surprise when they saw this scene.
To them, being able to see two Wind Release ninjutsu at once in the Ninja Academy was simply unbelievable.
Especially since Minato had never used Wind Release ninjutsu before.
"This is what a genius is!"
Ishida Yū was both shocked and excited.
But Minato could not feel happy at all.
Because Wind Release, Shuriken was already his strongest Wind Release ninjutsu.
He had thought it would unexpectedly cut through Natsuki's wooden blade and allow him to win, but the result was greatly beyond his expectations.
There was definitely sothing wrong with that wooden blade.
However, he still did not give up.
Clone Technique!
Minato ford hand seals with both hands and created a clone.
Summoning Technique!
Natsuki threw away the wooden blade and pressed his right hand to the ground.
He could not directly expose the Ten Shadows Technique yet.
Shirayuki suddenly appeared and imdiately leapt up, clawing at the nearest Minato.
"What?"
Minato only felt his vision blur, and Shirayuki was already in front of him.
Helpless, he could only raise both hands to block.
With a pop, he turned into smoke and disappeared from the spot.
It was a clone.
Seeing this, Natsuki took out another wooden blade without hesitation.
One Sword Style, Iai, Lion Song!
He turned into a streak of blade light and attacked Minato.
Minato imdiately felt a terrifying blade edge.
He subconsciously took out a shuriken, but it was already too late.
Pain struck once again.
His entire body flew backward.
Minato fell sitting onto the ground and could not help sighing inwardly.
He had chosen to learn Wind Release because Wind Release ninjutsu was fast enough.
In truth, Lightning Release was faster, but Jiraiya only had the chakra natures of Fire, Wind, Earth, and Water.
"You learned two Wind Release ninjutsu in such a short ti. It looks like if I don't work harder, you'll catch up to ."
Natsuki put away the wooden blade, walked in front of Minato, and reached out his hand.
He truly felt a sense of crisis.
It could only be said that Minato was worthy of being the future Fourth Hokage.
"We'll fight again next ti."
Minato was stunned for a mont, then held his hand and stood up.
"I'll be waiting."
Natsuki said with a smile.
Minato also smiled.
"This is the Will of Fire."
In the Hokage's office, Hiruzen saw this scene and said with great relief.
Because second-year Class A had two of his grand-students, he now secretly watched every practical exam.
[Congratulations, Host. You have unlocked Ability Three of the Shiba Tatsuya Template, Non-Systematic Magic, Phantom Blow.]
Natsuki nodded.
At this point, the Shiba Tatsuya Template had been fully unlocked.
(To be continued.)
