Konoha: Sage Body

"F*ck, that girl is kind of awesome."

Kirito cursed as he looked at the large fireball that was rapidly coming over.

In the next moment, he concentrated a large amount of the few natural energies in his body into his feet, instantly bursting out with a speed that exceeded the normal level, avoiding the dark-haired girl's Great Fireball Technique, and then rushing towards the dark-haired girl with the wind at his back.

At the same time, his gaze changed and turned vicious.

Natural energy could not only nourish the physical body, but could also be utilized in combat like chakra. Just like chakra, by concentrating natural energy in the limbs, a short period of time would result in an explosion of strength and speed that exceeded the body's normal level.

This kind of explosion is much stronger than the same concentration of Chakra in the limbs.

Kirito didn't have much natural energy in his body, just a little bit, so this temporary strengthening could only last for a little bit of time.

So, when he used his natural energy, it meant he was going to fight for his life.

The dark-haired girl was shocked at Kirito's instantaneous burst of speed, the kind of speed she had only seen from the clan's chuunin.

In a flash, she focused her chakra in both eyes, the hooks in both of her Sharingan spinning rapidly as a way to catch Kirito's movements.

She managed to see it, blocking one of Kirito's incoming chakra-wrapped fists with her right hand.

But the force coming from Kirito's fist made her tiny face flush.

A subtle clicking sound rang out.

It was the sound of bones cracking.

The intense pain caused the dark-haired girl to let out a muffled grunt.

In the end, Kirito knocked the dark-haired girl back with a punch, the girl's feet dragging out two deep scratches on the ground before she cradled her injured right hand with her left.

"No more fighting."

Kirito shook his fist and smiled.

His eyes weren't on the dark-haired girl at the moment, though, but on a middle-aged man in a large tree nearby.

It wasn't as if he hadn't had a chance to capitalize on his victory just now, but the middle-aged man had appeared out of nowhere just as he was about to continue his pursuit.

Unsurprisingly, if he was any closer, this middle-aged man who was obviously secretly protecting the dark-haired girl would strike.

"Hmph, meddlesome."

The dark-haired girl turned her head to look at the middle-aged man who had appeared and said with dissatisfaction.

"Miss, time is up, please go back."

The middle-aged man looked at the dark-haired girl with loving eyes and said.

"Shut up, I'm not done fighting yet, I have to beat him today."

Uchiha Chizuru yelled.

After saying that, she continued to stare at Kirito with her Sharingan that were filled with intense battle intent, intending to continue her fight.

However, she suddenly realized that her vision became blurry, her eyes returned to their normal state, and then her body went limp and she lay down on the ground and fainted.

"I-I didn't do anything."

When Kirito saw the dark-haired girl suddenly fall to the ground, he hurriedly defended himself to the middle-aged man.

In response, the middle-aged man just gave him a deep look before flying to Uchiha Chizuru's side, picking her up and quickly leaving.

"What's the situation?"

Kirito scratched his head, confused as to why Uchiha Chizuru had collapsed.

Hopefully it wasn't a touchdown.

"I think it's a chakra exhaustion."

At that moment, Shikaku's voice appeared from behind Kirito.

Meanwhile, in Hokage's office, The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the crystal ball in front of him and said softly, "The chakra consumption is too great."

Taking advantage of the rare free time he had at work, he used the Telescope Technique to see what was going on in the village and relax and unwind a little, not realizing that he had accidentally seen an interesting battle.

"But only six years old is already able to freely open and utilize the Sharingan, and can also use the Fire Release Ninjutsu, the Uchiha clan has appeared as another extraordinary genius, ah, what a terrifying clan."

Sandaime took a puff of smoke, his expression was very gloomy.

For the Uchiha Chizuru's situation, he roughly understand, her parents are both heroes of the village, when Chizuru was five years old, they already donated their lives for the village, and then they opened their Sharingan, and became the key cultivation object of the Uchiha clan.

To open her eyes at less than six years old, her talent was self-evident.

I didn't expect to see such outstanding development in only a year's time.

Sandaime observed, already having the strength of a chunin ninja, enough to graduate from the ninja school.

Yet, as far as he understood, the Uchiha clan still chose to let her attend a ninja school.

" Still not dead in the water."

Sandaime sighed.

He more or less understood the reasons why the Uchiha clan let Uchiha Chizuru attend the ninja school, one was to give her the environment and time to continue to grow up peacefully, and the other was for her to demonstrate the power of the Uchiha clan in the school, highlighting the presence of the Uchiha clan.

Since the death of the Second Hokage, the village's suppression of the Uchiha clan is becoming more and more severe, and excluded from the top level, resulting in the Uchiha clan's presence in the village decreasing.

These things, of course, the Sandaime is aware of, although he is reluctant, that the Uchiha clan is also a member of the village, should be treated fairly, but the village of other ninja clans and civilian faction ninja have a great deal of opinions about the Uchiha clan.

For the sake of balance, he had to make some choices against his will.

"Bang~"

The door to the room was opened roughly.

Immediately, Sandaime looked over in the direction of the room's door, and instantly saw a familiar figure; it was the middle-aged man who exuded a cold and obscure aura all over his body, none other than his close friend and advisor, Shimura Danzo.

He waved his hand to the ANBU who showed his apology and gestured for the two to go out, then said to Danzo, " Danzo, what is it that you want?"

Danzo decisively opened the door and said, "Hiruzen, the Root Division is in need of additional personnel."

"Danzo, you are aware that our battle with the Rain Ninja and Sand Ninja is in a fierce state, the battlefield personnel are already very tight, and the village's defenses are very short, so we can't spare any personnel to replenish them for you at the moment."

The Sandaime did not hesitate to reject Danzo's request.

The strength of the Root led by Danzo was already quite large and was beginning to pose a threat to the ANBU, he absolutely would not allow the Root to continue to grow, even if the contribution the Root had made on the battlefield was very good, his choices still would not be easily changed.

The village's manpower reserve situation is very clear, how could Danzo not know clearly, he understands that Hiruzen's words are nothing more than a pretext to shrug off the situation.

Therefore, the personnel replenishment this matter, he is absolutely will not back down, immediately coldly said: "Humph, the contribution that Root has made for the village is obvious to all, now Root has already lost troops for the village, it is necessary to make a replenishment as soon as possible, or else, the intelligence work on the front line, I don't guarantee that it can be completed successfully."

Sandaime was silent when he heard this.

The current advantage that Konoha had gained on the frontal battlefield, the information obtained by the Root led by Danzo was crucial, if the information was not in place, the situation on the battlefield might be reversed.

By then, Konoha would pay a huge price.

Even though he knew that Danzo was threatening him, Sandaime had to think carefully at this time.

However, he was equally aware of how powerful Root's power was right now, and in order to prevent this sword of Danzo's from getting out of control and threatening himself, he continued to stick to his guns, "Still, the village doesn't have enough personnel to replenish you for the time being."

Then, he added, "If you have the ability, you can visit the major shinobi clans in the village."

In addition to the shinobi in the village who had graduated from the Shinobi School, there was actually a large portion of shinobi who were not under Hokage's control, and those were the family shinobi who had been trained within the major shinobi clans.

He had asked Danzo to go to the major shinobi clans to recruit people, and his intention was to take Danzo to probe the attitudes of the major shinobi clans.

" Humph, those guys who have only clans in their eyes and no villages aren't worth expecting at all."

Danzo could see Sandaime's purpose at a glance and said with a sullen face.

"Then I have no choice."

The Sandaime began to drive people away.

Seeing that Sandaime was determined not to give him any personnel this time, Danzo's eyes grew colder and colder, and he just kept staring at Sandaime.

But the Sandaime regarded it as invisible and didn't care, smoking a cigarette in his usual manner, and reading up on some papers he hadn't gotten to yet in the meantime.

"Then you give me those brats from the orphanage."

After a moment, Danzo had no choice but to back off.

At those words, Sandaime put down the several ninja school enrollment forms in his hand and returned his attention to Danzo, internally beginning to calculate what was at stake.

The orphans in the orphanage are all people who really have no one to rely on, like weeds in the village, no one cares about, the Sandaime at first heard that Danzo wants the orphans in the orphanage, his heart is not very concerned, but at this time, the figure of Kirito flashed in his mind.

Coincidentally, he had just seen the application form of Tosaka Kirito in those points, and then used it to learn that Kirito is the identity of the orphanage orphans.

Kirito's battle with Uchiha Chizuru had left a deep impression on him, and he had thought of asking someone to check that Kirito was a genius of that family, so that he could cultivate him properly in the future, and then train an outstanding ninja for the village.

However, he did not realize that Kirito was actually an orphan from an orphanage.

But precisely because of this, the Sandaime expectations are even higher, because he knows very well that a helpless orphan able to fight with the Uchiha Chizuru and the upper hand to show how outstanding ninja talent, he saw some kind of huge possibilities in Kirito.

But because of this, the Sandaime's expectations of Kirito were even higher, because he knew very well how outstanding the ninja talent demonstrated by a helpless orphan being able to fight with Uchiha Chizuru and gain the upper hand, and he saw some kind of great possibilities in Kirito.

Now it's good that Danzo actually wants to get his hands on the orphans of the orphanage, wouldn't that mean that Kirito is going to fall into Danzo's hands.

"No, why is this guy suddenly looking at those orphans in the orphanage, there are all little kids there with no fighting ability, even if they join the Roots they won't be able to do much, could it be that his real purpose is ..."

Sandaime suddenly thought of an important question and proceeded to brainstorm.

Soon, he came to a conclusion that absolutely he can not let Kirito fall into the hands of Danzo, otherwise, Kirito may become Danzo's right hand man in the future.

At this thought, the Sandaime did not hesitate to say: "The orphans living in the orphanage are very important youngsters of the village, let them continue to grow up happy under the protection of those of us who continue to grow up under the protection of the First Hokage and the Second Hokage, and this is what the First Hokage and the Second Hokage want.

Seeing that his request was once again denied, Danzo became enraged and shouted, "You will regret this, Hiruzen."

"I'm the Hokage."

Sandaime immediately stood up and said with a stern face.
