Chapter 7: Muzan defeated the chūnin
"Wonderful battle, Kakashi."
"I actually saw a ninja academy student defeat a chūnin!"
"Oh my god! What a wonderful ninja showdown!"
At this moment, Kakashi was enjoying the joy of becoming a genin. He felt that his ability was still better than that of his brother. When he finished, he would show off in front of Muzan and make him envious and jealous!
Suddenly, an unexpected figure walked onto the playing field.
"How did you get in?"
Kakashi, caught in self-delusion, saw Muzan on the stage and thought he was here to congratulate him, but before he could say anything, he heard Muzan announce something on the spot.
"I'm sorry, Lord Third Hokage, please add an extra match. I also want to apply for the graduation exam and become a qualified genin!"As the words fell, everyone turned their attention from Kakashi to Muzan.Hiruzen Sarutobi, observing the proceedings from his office through his crystal ball, looked at Muzan in astonishment.
Just as he was about to refuse Muzan's proposal, an ANBU wearing black clothes and a fox mask approached him and handed him a scroll. The Third Hokage unrolled it, quickly scanning the contents.With a thoughtful expression, Hiruzen nodded to himself and spoke decisively, his voice echoing through the crystal ball's communication jutsu.
"Hokage-sama allows it, and we will immediately arrange a battle for Muzan."
"What!"
"Yes!"
After he learned that Kakashi was going to hold the genin exam, Muzan rushed to the Hokage building overnight. He would also hold the graduation exam tomorrow.
"Again, it's not too late to give up now."
Hiruzen voice echo, bringing pressure to Muzan, but Muzan nodded silently, which did not achieve the effect Hiruzen expected.
"Of course I'm ready. Hokage-sama, the challenge begins now."
Under the attention of many spectators, Hiruzen announced that Muzan's graduation exam had officially begun and immediately called a chūnin.
"Now that you are ready, I will let a chūnin
fight you."
Hiruzen knew that Muzan's talent was very strong, but during his time at the Ninja Academy, his performance was average and he spent more time on medical ninjutsu and chakra control.
Without training in taijutsu and without practicing too many offensive ninjutsu, Hiruzen felt that Muzan was likely to fail if he wanted to defeat an outstanding chūnin.

"Muzan, I am your opponent Nozawa."
Nozawa was very polite and made a gesture of respect as a ninja. Seeing the confusion in Muzan's eyes, he immediately understood that Muzan had not paid attention to him.
"I am one of the wounded you treated. Because the injuries were minor, Lord Hokage asked me to be your test officer, but I will not show mercy."
Nozawa, who has been on the battlefield, understands that if Muzan does not have enough strength to become a genin, it will harm him, so he must use 100% of his ability to defeat Muzan and let him understand the difference in strength.
"Hahaha! I didn't expect to meet the person I treated. If I had known it yesterday, I should have left you in bed for a while longer."
The voice of Muzan under the black robe was slightly childish. Looking at Nozawa who was waiting in full formation, a murderous aura arose in Muzan's body in the next second, and the aura of an apex predator suppressed the opponent.
It made Nozawa take a step back and look at Muzan nervously, as if under the black robe was no longer a child rescuing people, but a ferocious beast.
"Get ready, I'm going to start."
As the words fell, the identities of the two seemed to be reversed, and Muzan became the leader of the game.
"Fire Release: Fireball Jutsu!"
The huge fireball rushed away from the ground, leaving a black mark, which was a full circle larger than the ordinary fireball. Nozawa didn't want to resist the fireball, so he jumped to avoid the attack.
Wherever the flames burned, there were traces of cracks, spreading to the place where Nozawa jumped away just now.
" Muzan, you shouldn't rely solely on ninjutsu. You must conserve chakra on the battlefield. Let me teach you how to fight as a ninja."
"Are you teaching me what to do?"
Muzan was speechless at Nozawa's words. Nozawa was thinking about teaching the opponent how to fight, but suddenly he felt Muzan's speed suddenly increase as he came in front of him.
"Crack!"
Nozawa, who didn't react, could only defend with his body, feeling the terrifying power being transmitted along his arms throughout his body.
In the eyes of outsiders, Nozawa flew out in an instant and turned into smoke when he landed on the ground.
Although he was kicked by Muzan, he prevented Muzan from continuously kicking him the moment he landed, and used the Substitution and Transformation Techniques to switch places.
"So close…"
Unknowingly, Nozawa was almost kicked out of the competition by Muzan, and he distanced himself from his opponent. He looked at Muzan under the dust with a gray face. This time, great pressure came to his heart. The moment they fought, he knew that Muzan had the genin's strength, if it weren't for his lack of combat experience, he would have been eliminated by the opponent.
"As expected of the youngest medical ninja in Konoha."
Stopping, Muzan did not fail to pursue the victory. He took a long breath, and his face covered by the black robe trembled, and his voice became hoarse.
"If this is your limit, I can tell you that you will definitely lose!"
A layer of chakra appeared on Muzan's body, stimulating his own cells, similar to Raikage wrapping lightning around his body. Of course, Muzan's effect was not as powerful as Raikage's, but the cell activation intensity was higher than normal for a ninja.
"Why is the other person glowing?"
"I feel like Muzan is so handsome right now. He actually suppressed the genin and fought. If I had such strength, I could graduate early."
"Damn it, Muzan! Damn it, Kakashi! I must regain my honor once I awaken my Sharingan!"
The students outside the field were looking at Muzan glowing in the dust. They didn't understand what kind of attack this was. Only Hiruzen understood the terrifying chakra content of Muzan's body, and the opponent could unleash C-rank ninjutsu without restraint.
"What a talented boy. Nozawa's situation is in danger."
Just as Hiruzen said, Muzan on the field had greatly improved both in speed and strength. Just using taijutsu made Nozawa unstoppable. He was forced into a corner and kicked by Muzan at high speed, turning his clothes into rags.
The continuous attacks made Nozawa, who was in the whirlwind, unable to counterattack, so he tried his best to form seals with his hands.
"Earth Release: Earth-Style Hardening Jutsu!"
A layer of lime-gray rock wrapped around his body, hoping to withstand Muzan's attack, but ideals are very sexy, and reality is very harsh.
The moment he kicked Nozawa away, Muzan made an action that made everyone exclaim.
One-handed seals!
Actions that require super chakra control ability. Konoha also has ninjas who form seals with one hand, but they are jōnin! Years of fighting allow them to accurately control chakra, but Muzan relies on his own talent.
"Wind Release: Gale Palm!"
