Chapter 8: About Planning Issues
---
Nozawa was still in a hardening state. Just when he thought Muzan's attack was over, he heard a whistling sound in his ears. It was the sound of wind...
The strong wind was blowing, and Nozawa, caught in it, suddenly felt a strong force suppressing him. His unstable legs buckled, forcing him to kneel on the ground. The Earth-Style Hardening Jutsu failed to block Muzan's Gale Palm. When Muzan approached Nozawa, the battle was declared over.
"Sorry, you're not strong enough."
"What! It's too late!"
The strong wind mixed with dust enveloped Nozawa, who suddenly felt weightless. His body fell horizontally in the air as Muzan jumped up and kicked him in the abdomen.
"Boom!"
The flying dust blocked the sun, and everyone was concerned about what was happening on the playing field. Even Nobiwei arrived instantly and noticed the calmness of the black-robed Muzan.
Muzan landed and stopped, looking at Nozawa, who had lost his will to fight and was in a miserable state.
"It looks like you need to go to the hospital."
Muzan used chakra to heal Nozawa's body. The injury wasn't serious, just requiring some rest.
As for the result of the match, Nobiwei looked surprised.
"I win, Nobiwei-sensei."
Not only was Nobiwei surprised, but the audience also fell into a brief silence. Even the Third Hokage, watching with a crystal ball, was astonished. What did they see?
From the beginning to the end of the battle, it only took two minutes.
Although Kakashi's battle was exciting, it was ultimately a strategic victory, a standard ninja battle.
In Muzan's battle, an elite chūnin was constantly crushed by Muzan's strength from the moment he entered the arena, whether it was taijutsu or ninjutsu. If Muzan had more combat experience, the battle would have ended even quicker.
"It's really a headache. I don't know which of the ninjas in the village is suitable to teach Muzan."
While the Third Hokage pondered how to train Muzan, the audience at the stadium finally realized that Muzan had achieved perfect results in the graduation exam with an absolute crushing advantage.
"Does this mean he won? I saw a five- or six-year-old kid crushing a chūnin head-on?"
"I thought Kakashi's strength was already terrifying, but I didn't expect his brother to be even more terrifying!"
"He is indeed a strong man who came out of our hospital! He will definitely become like Tsunade-sama in the future!"
After learning about Muzan's early graduation, Dr. Hayashi led a group over to cheer him on. Of course, he also wanted to comfort Muzan, thinking that he did not have the strength to last for 10 minutes. Unexpectedly, Muzan's performance brought them great pride.
"What do you mean, someone who came out of your hospital? He's clearly someone from our Ninja Academy. This is fighting, not treating a disease. What does it have to do with you?"
"Asshole! He's from our hospital!"
After Nobiwei dispersed the dust, he saw Nozawa lying on the ground. He looked at Muzan with a complicated expression and finally announced the results of the competition.
"Muzan successfully graduated early. Congratulations on becoming a qualified genin."
Only Kakashi looked depressed. The plan he had to show off was aborted. However, as a relative, Kakashi was still very happy that Muzan was getting stronger and stronger. There would never be a weak person in their Hatake family!
"Brother, why did you graduate early?"
Touching Kakashi's white hair, Muzan faced the stubborn Kakashi. He knew that what he did was a bit unethical, but Konoha was no longer safe, and their father was away on a mission. Kakashi and his situation were different. Muzan had already shown his medical talent.
Behind Director Harano was the medical class led by Lady Tsunade. Even though Tsunade was suffering from hemophobia, her identity in Konoha was second only to the Hokage.
With his identity as a medical ninja, most people would not dare to take action against him. The title of genius medical ninja was enough to catch Tsunade's attention, linking him with the Hokage faction.
But Kakashi was different. He was a standard genius ninja. Although Konoha valued geniuses, it was more about cultivating geniuses of its own faction. Before joining the Hokage faction, Kakashi was always potentially in danger.
The most classic case is Uchiha Shisui, who turned on the Mangekyō Sharingan and, despite being close to the Hokage faction, still died at the hands of Danzo.
"Why can't I graduate early?"
Kakashi slapped Muzan's hand down and put it on his own head. Fortunately, Obito and Rin came over in time to catch Kakashi, otherwise, he would have been taught a lesson by Muzan.
"Don't hold me back! I'm going to fight him!"
"Don't be impulsive, Kakashi. You'll be taught a lesson. Now the nerd is no longer a nickname for Muzan. Everyone calls him the Hammer King of Konoha."
"Kakashi, stop making trouble."
The two were really not on the same level.
After becoming a genin, Muzan did not intend to do missions to accumulate merit. He needed to continue studying the function of cells. As for Kakashi, after his school companions left, Muzan touch Kakashi's shoulder.
"What's wrong, brother?"
The moment Kakashi turned his head, he didn't see the happiness on Muzan's face, and Kakashi understood that his brother's next words would be extremely important.
"After you become a genin, you will be assigned a teacher. Given your talent, you have two options. The first is to find a subordinate of our father as a teacher, and the second is to choose to join the Hokage faction."
"What do you mean, brother?"
Kakashi still didn't understand how important the choice of faction was, and it even related to the death of Hatake Sakumo later. Whenever he needed to think deeply, it was a habit to ask Muzan.
"Choose to join the Hokage faction, and the Third Hokage should use this opportunity to win over our father."
Just as Muzan said, the Third Hokage was worried about finding a teacher for the two of them. Not to mention Kakashi is a genius, he must join the Hokage faction, and he had a candidate for teacher in mind.
But Muzan was troublesome. According to Nobiwei's report, Muzan had made great achievements in medical ninjutsu and was very strong, with overall strength not being weak. There was only one teacher in Konoha who met the requirements, but the opponent's character...
"Let Muzan get in touch with her first. After all, he is Sakumo's child, so she won't be too hard on him."
Whether or not she would be hard on him was uncertain, but the moment Muzan entered the hospital in Konoha, a group of doctors and patients crowded around. Everyone wanted to see this genius.
In the past, Muzan's character was diligent and studious, using the knowledge he learned to save people. Coupled with the deliberate promotion by some, Muzan and Tsunade were inevitably linked.
