Faced with this situation, a hint of panic flashed in Senju Nawaki's eyes. He had not expected the enemy to attack so suddenly and with such good coordination.

"Damn it, Wood Release: Four Wood Walls!"

Four wooden walls rose from beneath Senju Nawaki's feet, blocking the earth-piercing projectiles. While most of the falling rocks were hit, a small portion still struck him, as his feet were bound, preventing him from dodging freely.

Despite the cost of an injured arm, he managed to survive the attack.

"You actually managed to block it. This Senju brat's strength is probably even greater than mine. He's just a hothouse flower. How can he compare to us? Now that you can't use ninjutsu, you're no longer our opponent."

In Daiya Shiki's view, Senju Nawaki's fate of becoming a prisoner was already sealed.

Chapter 326, One-Handed Hand Seal

Senju Nawaki showed no despair at this moment. Not to mention the presence of Yi Shuihan in the shadows, even he himself did not believe that he had lost so easily.

Besides ninjutsu, his taijutsu is also quite good. Besides, who says you can't use ninjutsu if you can't use one hand? He can actually perform hand seals with one hand.

Even Yi Shuihan didn't know that he had mastered single-handed hand seals, which was his trump card. Although he was a bit of a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), he wasn't brainless and naturally kept one or two trump cards up his sleeve.

"The real battle was completely different from what I imagined. If I had encountered a ninja of similar strength, I would probably have been instantly killed!" Senju Nawaki was very fortunate that he was facing several ninjas who were not as strong as him.

The carelessness he had initially felt was gone, and Senju Nawaki began to reflect. In fact, if he had been serious from the beginning, his opponents would not have been able to detect him at all, and he could have easily taken them down with ninjutsu before they even noticed him.

After being discovered, he retaliated immediately, but it was only a test. Instead of hiding, he exposed himself to the opponent's attack, which was undoubtedly an arrogant act.

"However, I won't do that again in the future." Senju Nawaki took a deep breath. "Thank you all for teaching me so much. Now, I'll show you the true power of Wood Release."

"What can you do with just one hand? Don't bluff."

"is it?"

"Whizzing"

Senju Nawaki threw a handful of shuriken at his opponent, then began forming hand seals with one hand.

"What?! Form a hand seal with one hand, kill him quickly!"

"It's over."

"bang bang bang"

The shuriken that was dodged suddenly transformed into a Thousand Hands Rope Tree, a Wood Clone Transformation Technique and a Substitution Technique.

"Wood Release: Wood Splintering Technique"

Without giving the enemy a chance to react, long wooden thorns grew from his arm and pierced through Zhihui, turning him into a hedgehog while the thorns continued to split.

With the Chunin dead, the next two Genin posed even less of a threat and were easily dealt with.

"Slap... slap... slap"

After the battle ended, Yi Shuihan came out and said, "Oh, not bad! You can even do hand seals with one hand now."

"Why aren't you saying anything? Hmm, why is your face so pale! Are you sick?"

"Ugh!" Senju Nawaki finally couldn't hold back and vomited. It was his first time killing someone. He didn't feel anything while he was doing it, but after he finished and saw the disgusting way the other person died, it was normal for him to feel this way.

Yi Shuihan watched quietly as the Thousand-Hand Rope vomited profusely, without urging it on.

"Has the wound already begun to heal? The Wood Release constitution is indeed quite powerful."

I noticed that the arm, which was previously immobile, is now slowly becoming movable again. This would be absolutely impossible for an ordinary person.

"Brother-in-law, what should they do?"

Having finally recovered, Senju Nawaki pointed to the mangled corpse on the ground and asked...

"What should we do? Just leave them here, or do you want to take them home? I don't mind. Maybe we can find something from their corpses and remains."

As Yi Shuihan spoke, Senju Nawaki's face grew paler and paler, as if he were about to vomit.

"It's...it's better to leave it here!"

The first plan to hunt wild beasts came to an end. Because of his injury, Yi Shuihan could no longer take him to cultivate, so the two returned the way they came.

Shortly after the two left, a head suddenly appeared on the ground.

"Unexpectedly, the plan was ruined. I need to tell the Hokage quickly. Also, Tsunade's younger brother has awakened Wood Release. I wonder if the Hokage knows about it."

He muttered to himself, then disappeared underground.

"The Dark Division? I didn't expect to have made a mistake unintentionally. Could it be that one of the three is a counter-spy?"

Several kilometers away, Yi Shuihan gave a wry smile, but then relaxed. Anyway, it wasn't intentional, and even if it was intentional, the Third Hokage couldn't do anything to him. It was Rope Tree who made the move!

Rope Tree, who was summarizing the battle, had no idea that Yi Shuihan had already decided to sell him off if any trouble came knocking.

"Really? Nawaki actually awakened Wood Release, and Tsunade even kept it from me."

"Lord Hokage, what should we do about this?"

"Find someone else to continue the previous plan. Don't let the fact that Senju Nawaki has awakened Wood Release be revealed. Don't tell anyone but you and me."

"Hi!"

"That's all I can do, but with his protection, Rope Tree's safety shouldn't be a problem."

The training of Rope Tree continued, and later, special training in Chinese martial arts was added, making Rope Tree's strength improve almost every day.

A month passed, and when Tsunade returned and saw Nawaki, she was incredibly surprised. She couldn't believe that the person in front of her with the resolute eyes and iron-blooded aura was her chuunibyou (delusional) younger brother.

"I should have handed him over to you sooner."

“If you were to train him yourself, you could achieve the same level, but you’ve spoiled him too much.”

Yi Shuihan calmly stated the facts, but thoroughly enjoyed Tsunade's adoring gaze.

"I heard Kakashi is graduating early. Do you want to go check on him? If he succeeds, he'll be the youngest ninja ever?"

"He's just a little kid, what's so interesting about him? It's just that kind of quality anyway."

"Really? Kakashi was really looking forward to it. Guy will be graduating with him too. Aren't you going to give him a day off?"

"That's a good idea. Okay, I'll go check it out when the time comes. I've been relaxing for a while now, it's time to get back to work!"

The important matter, of course, is to promote and develop traditional Chinese martial arts. However, the current development speed of traditional Chinese martial arts is not satisfactory to Yi Shuihan. He has a new plan called the National Martial Arts Training Plan.

The people of this world crave power far more than those in peaceful times. If Yi Shuihan were to reveal the cultivation methods of martial arts, they would surely seize them without hesitation!

Chapter 327, An Unintentional Advertisement

The graduation test venue was already packed with people. Kakashi's reputation as a genius had long been established, so many people were paying attention to this graduation test.

Because Kakashi's father, Sakumo Hatake, was still alive, Danzo, though very envious of Kakashi, dared not make a direct move against him, and he was also very wary of Konoha's White Fang.

"Come check out your son's graduation exam!"

Yi Shuihan arrived with Might Guy and Tsunade. Upon arrival, he naturally went over to greet Hatake Sakumo.

"Ok!"

Compared to before, Hatake Sakumo seemed much more silent. I don't know if it was just my imagination, but he now gave off a sense of lethargy.

Have you given my previous suggestions a proper consideration?

"A proposal? You mean..."

"Retire and come work for me."

Hatake Sakumo remained silent and did not answer. Just when Yi Shuihan thought he would refuse, he nodded almost imperceptibly. If Yi Shuihan hadn't been so observant, he wouldn't have noticed.

"Don't worry, I'll talk to the third generation."

Yi Shuihan quickly assured him that it wasn't so easy for a ninja to retire early in this era. Although they were called ninjas, they were actually more like soldiers. Although they had a certain degree of autonomy, they could not refuse when the Hokage gave an order.

Generally speaking, if a ninja wants to retire, he can only continue to live as a ninja unless he loses his ability to be one. Even if the Hokage releases someone, he can still be recalled at any time if necessary.

As one of Konoha's top combatants, the Third Hokage would naturally not release him so easily, but Yi Shuihan was confident that he could make the Third Hokage let go.

"Oh, it's about to start."

Before he knew it, Kakashi was standing in the center. The test instructor in front of him was not a Chunin, but a Jonin, and a Jonin from the Uchiha clan at that. This showed how much the higher-ups valued Kakashi.

"If you can last three minutes in my hands, you'll pass."

Uchiha Kin glanced at Kakashi, this rising genius, with a sharp glint in his eyes. As a member of the Uchiha clan, he could not tolerate someone even more talented than the Uchiha clan, especially since Kakashi was the son of Hatake Sakumo.

Uchiha Kin was at odds with Hatake Sakumo.

"Wasn't the Third Hokage being a bit too harsh? It seems like Uchiha Kin isn't going to show any mercy."

"No, quite the opposite. Only in this way can we see Kakashi's true strength. Uchiha Kin might not be Kakashi's match."

"That can't be! Uchiha Kin is a Jonin, how could he not be a match for Kakashi? That's too exaggerated!"

"..."

Anyone present who knew anything about Kakashi would not think there was anything wrong with a Jonin serving as a testing instructor, since Kakashi's strength at the Ninja Academy had already surpassed the level of a Chunin.

"Kakashi, show everyone your youth! Later, I'll let everyone see my youth too. Oh, just thinking about becoming a ninja gets me fired up."

Matt Kai shouted loudly from a short distance away, completely ignoring the strange looks from those around him.

Kakashi's eye twitched, and his body involuntarily moved away from Might Guy's direction, although doing so did nothing of real effect.

"Ready? Let's begin."

"Please advise."

Kakashi's nonchalant attitude enraged Uchiha Kin, who abandoned his Jonin composure and chose to attack first.

"So fast, I can't even see it clearly. Is this the speed of a Jonin?"

The students, witnessing Jonin battle for the first time, were all filled with amazement.

"But Kakashi kept up with his speed completely, doesn't that mean his strength has reached the level of a Jonin?"

"Kakashi is very strong, but he's probably no match for a Jonin!"

As a Jonin, Uchiha Kin is highly skilled in taijutsu, ninjutsu, and even genjutsu. He has even awakened two tomoe of his Sharingan, making him one of the top Jonin in terms of combat power.

Her grasp of the battle world and her coordination of ninjutsu were far superior to Kakashi's, so after a few exchanges, she gained the upper hand, leaving Kakashi only able to defend.

"What's wrong? Isn't he supposed to be a genius? Is this all the son of Konoha's White Fang is capable of?"

"If that's all you've got, you should go back to the ninja academy and study for a few more years. Ninjas aren't something kids can just play around with."

"Are your movements becoming sluggish? Can't you keep going?"

Completely disregarding Sakumo Hatake's presence, Kin Uchiha relentlessly mocked him.

"Kakashi! What are you doing? Stop playing around."

Everyone fell silent, but Matt Kai shouted out loud.

"Playing? Kakashi, you didn't see that? He said you were playing!"

Uchiha Kin said dismissively, completely disbelieving that Kakashi was hiding anything.

"We really can't keep playing like this! Teacher, you must have heard of Chinese martial arts, right?"

"what?"

"Now I'll show you the power of traditional Chinese martial arts."

A roar suddenly came from Kakashi's body, and his body grew larger at a visible speed, exuding a powerful aura, as if he had become a different person.

"Are you out of your mind to actually confront me head-on?"

Uchiha Kin looked at Kakashi in astonishment, for his power was far greater than Kakashi's.

However, Uchiha Kin was destined to be disappointed this time, as he was at a disadvantage in terms of power.

"What's going on? It was clearly before..." Uchiha Kin's expression changed. "Could it be because of this posture?"

"Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound is a manifestation of profound martial arts training. It can greatly increase one's strength, speed, and perception in a short period of time, and more importantly, it can accelerate the recovery from injuries." Kakashi continued his movements, and his voice slowly reached everyone's ears.

"I'm not seeing things, am I?! Kakashi is actually dominating Uchiha Jonin?"

"It seems there's no mistake, Kakashi is using the national martial art? The national martial art is actually this powerful!"

Yi Shuihan looked at Kakashi in astonishment, somewhat surprised that Kakashi had unintentionally given him free advertising.

Chapter 328, I'll be the examiner

"Don't get too carried away."

The suppressed Uchiha Kin suddenly shouted, and his Sharingan, which originally had two tomoe, suddenly became three tomoe. At the critical moment, he actually advanced.
