A Fateful Encounter?
Feeling the intense gaze of those around him, Yu raised an eyebrow in annoyance.
Why do these words sound so familiar?
"Kid, are you possessed by that guy, Might Guy??"
"Uchiha Shisui, Yakushi Yu,"
"Both of you have successfully passed today's test and evaluation."
"Starting today, you are officially Leaf Shinobi."
At that moment, a solemn and majestic voice came from the crowd.
"The Hokage?!"
"The Hokage is here too!!"
The people around them murmured in hushed tones, making way for the arrival of an elder wearing a white Hokage robe and a straw hat.
It was the Third Hokage, who had been in his office earlier but couldn't resist coming to the Ninja Academy's training ground after witnessing Yu's five-second defeat of three Genin ninjas.
He was here to oversee the most highly anticipated graduation ceremony in history.
Upon hearing the Third Hokage's words, two Chunin walked up to Yu and Shisui, handing them headbands engraved with the Leaf Village symbol.
This marked the moment when Yu and Shisui officially became Genin Leaf Shinobi.
"That was an incredibly impressive battle..."
"I'm delighted to see that Leaf Village has produced two talented young ninjas."
Standing on the training ground, the Third Hokage smiled warmly as he watched the two young prodigies donning their Leaf headbands.
"But today's special graduation exam has yet to produce a top student."
"So, Uchiha Shisui, Yakushi Yu... are you both interested in one final showdown?"
The final showdown??
Upon hearing this, Yu and Shisui, who had just put on their Leaf headbands, exchanged glances, seeing the eager gleam in each other's eyes.
"Yes! We haven't determined the top student yet!"
"The Hokage is right! Let's have one final showdown!"
"Both of them are prodigies! Who's the stronger one?"
The words of the Third Hokage immediately piqued the strong interest of everyone present, and they began to clamor.
Yu and Shisui had delivered a spectacular performance in their previous battle, leaving everyone in awe.
Originally, most people had favored Uchiha Shisui, the prodigy from the Uchiha clan. However, after witnessing Yu's monstrous performance just moments ago, doubt crept into their minds.
Which of these two prodigies was truly superior?
Admiration for the strong.
This principle held true not only in the world of the Hokage but also in the real world.
"Since the Hokage has spoken..."
"Come on, Yu, I've been itching to spar with you."
As the words reached their ears, Shisui had already taken his place on the training ground, motioning for Yu to join him with a wave of his hand.
"You leave me no choice..."
Feeling the surging battle intent emanating from Shisui and the gaze of the onlookers focused squarely on them, Yu shrugged with a hint of a smile and took a step toward the training ground.
"Don't cry if you lose, Shisui."
He wanted to see just how formidable Shisui's renowned "Shunshin Shisui" had become in terms of real strength.
"Yakushi Yu, you just finished a battle."
"Do you need time to recover your chakra?"
All eyes were fixated on the two young prodigies standing opposite each other in the training ground.
Looking at Yu, who had just gone through a thrilling battle, the Third Hokage asked.
"No need."
Yu shook his head, signaling that he was ready.
Having reached the mid-Chunin level and with his exceptionally high chakra reserves due to his modified body, Yu's chakra had already recovered to several times that of an ordinary Chunin after just one short moment.
"Then... let the battle begin!"
Upon hearing Yu's response, the Third Hokage waved his hand, announcing the start of the battle.
"Swoosh, swoosh!"
In the instant the Third Hokage's words fell, a piercing sound of breaking air could already be heard.
After witnessing Yu's incredible performance in defeating three Genin ninjas in five seconds, Shisui was fully focused, and eight kunai instantly appeared in his hands.
With a flick of his wrist, the eight kunai shot rapidly from various angles toward Yu.
"What a splendid kunai technique!"
Several elite Chunin in the crowd marveled at Shisui's kunai throw. In terms of skill and precision, he was on par with them, and in some aspects, even surpassing them.
"Come on, Yu..."
"Let me see your true strength!"
As the eight kunai whirled through the air, Shisui stared intently at Yu, his black eyes radiating fierce determination.
However, Yu extended both his hands, and just as effortlessly, eight kunai appeared between his fingers, as if by magic. Faced with Shisui's incoming kunai, he casually swiped them away.
"Clang! Clang! Clang! Ting!"
To everyone's astonishment, all eight kunai thrown by Shisui were effortlessly deflected and fell to the ground.
Although Yu had spent the past year focusing on physical combat, ninjutsu, and harnessing the power of the thread fruit, he hadn't forgotten his mastery of kunai techniques. Dealing with Shisui's attacks was child's play.
"Impressive!"
"It seems that Yakushi Yu's ninja fundamentals are not inferior to the Uchiha prodigy, Shisui."
Witnessing Yu's exquisite kunai technique and his calm demeanor in the face of Shisui's challenge, the bystanders were once again impressed with Yu's abilities.
"Swoosh! Swoosh!"
As the eight kunai and kunai were landing on the ground, the two of them simultaneously disappeared from their original positions, racing towards each other at incredible speeds.
"Bang! Bang!"
The two figures collided in an instant.
Yu's palm blocked Shisui's approaching knee, and Shisui's hand intercepted Yu's incoming punch.
It appeared to be a standoff at first, but soon, Shisui began to lean backward under the pressure.
"What? How can..."
"At the same age, his strength is so much greater than mine?"
Feeling the overwhelming force coming from the opposite side, Shisui was astonished.
It was only after their first direct collision that he realized the strength emanating from Yu's body was far from that of an ordinary six-year-old.
"My body might be a bit different from the norm..."
"When it comes to physical combat, you don't stand a chance against me."
Looking at Shisui, who was gradually being forced back, Yu lightly shrugged, his lips curving up into a faint smile.
If it came to a contest of physical abilities, there was no one in their age group who could even come close to challenging him, not even the prodigy Shisui.
