Time seemed to slow down at this moment.
Naoki’s palm had just touched the cold surface of the tester.
He hadn’t even applied full force yet.
After a flash of five-colored light (representing all five attributes, though Yin and Yang could not be detected here), a violent, scorching, and destructive Chakra, like a bursting dam of magma, surged wildly through his arm and into the poor tester.
The tester, which should have glowed gently, instantly turned from five colors to a blinding crimson!
That wasn’t an ordinary red.
That was a red containing the Yin attribute, like the dark red from the depths of a magma pit, carrying a suffocating heat.
“Buzz—!!!”
The Chakra tester let out an unbearable wail and began to vibrate violently.
Immediately after, a visible heatwave swept out in all directions with the tester as the center.
“So hot!”
The Chunin teacher in charge of the test let out a scream.
He was knocked over by the heatwave, scrambling backward.
His eyebrows and hair curled instantly—traces of being scorched by the extreme heat.
The students below the stage covered their faces in terror.
“What is this?!”
“It’s so hot!
It’s like the sun fell down!”
Tsunade widened her eyes, her golden hair dancing in the heatwave.
She looked at the figure on the stage in disbelief: “This…
is this Naoki?”
On stage.
Naoki was in a difficult position.
He wanted to let go, but that Chakra seemed to be stuck to him, still pouring out continuously.
The red light grew brighter and brighter, and above the tester, a ferocious skeletal phantom vaguely condensed—that was a trace of the Susanoo’s aura!
Crack.
A crisp cracking sound.
A crack appeared on the surface of the tester.
Crack, crack.
The cracks spread rapidly, covering the entire sphere like a spiderweb.
“Not good!”
Senju Tobirama, who had been sitting calmly on the high platform, changed his expression drastically.
This amount of Chakra…
and this nature transformation…
it had long exceeded the level of a Genin, or even a Chunin!
Is this the power an eight-year-old child could have?
And…
why was the primary attribute Fire?!
This domineering, extreme quality of Fire Release Chakra—he had only seen it on one person in his life!
“Scatter, quickly!”
Hiruzen Sarutobi reacted extremely quickly.
He instantly formed hand signs, and an Earth Wall rose up, blocking the students in the front row.
The next second.
Bang!!!
A loud explosion.
The expensive Chakra testing instrument, under the gaze of everyone, exploded.
It didn’t just shatter.
It blasted into powder.
A crimson pillar of fire shot into the sky, burning through the awning above the playground, heading straight into the clouds, forming a miniature mushroom cloud in mid-air.
Silence.
A deathly silence.
Everyone had their mouths wide open, looking at the burning wreckage and at Senju Naoki, who stood in the center of the wreckage, unscathed, with only his sleeve burned off.
[Task phase one complete.]
[Congratulations to the host, Prestige evaluation: A-level.]
[Reward distributed: Great Fire Annihilation (Madara version trial card) has been stored.]
[Due to the host’s overly shocking performance, additional reward: Physique Recovery Potion x1 (because your body is about to be overdrawn).]
Naoki felt his legs go weak; it was the sensation of weakness from having his Chakra drained instantly.
He gathered his last bit of strength, struck a cool pose, slowly withdrew his hand, looked at the powder on the ground, and said indifferently:
“The quality is too poor.”
After saying this, he only wanted to pass out immediately.
It’s over.
How to explain this now?
The grandson of the Senju Clan used Fire Release to blow up school facilities at the entrance ceremony.
This isn’t just a matter of paying for damages; this is a bloodline issue!
The whole place was dead silent.
That sentence, “The quality is too poor,” pierced into everyone’s eardrums like an ice pick, bringing extreme shock and absurdity.
An eight-year-old child.
Blew up the Ninja Academy’s special Chakra testing instrument.
Then, he said, the quality was too poor?
This is no longer in the category of a genius.
This is a Demon King!
Naoki maintained the “King’s Contempt” bestowed by the system on the surface, but his heart was pounding wildly.
Almost there, almost there.
The weakness of his body surged like a tide, and he would be able to “gloriously” faint soon.
This eight-year-old body had been instantly drained.
The weakness coming from his limbs and bones was real, and his vision was darkening—this was the perfect time to perform a “tactical faint.”
He had even planned every subsequent move.
First, a slight, imperceptible sway of the body to create a sense of aloofness—exhausted but holding on.
Then, a second before Grandpa and the high-level officials rushed over, his left leg would give way, falling in a beautiful pose that was both handsome and full of fragility, just like the heroine in a cheesy romance drama from his past life!
He had even calculated the direction of the fall; it had to be towards Tsunade, so that violent woman wouldn’t rush up to beat him up at first, but instead would be flustered out of worry.
Male lead and female lead, perfect!
With this set of procedures, not only could he perfectly avoid Grandpa’s on-the-spot interrogation, but he could also farm some presence points—killing two birds with one stone.
Naoki gave himself a thumbs-up internally and began to mobilize his last bit of mental energy, preparing to act.
It’s coming, the dizziness is hitting.
His body began to sway.
Now!
However, just as he was about to let his kneecaps have intimate contact with the ground—
[Ding.]
[Detected host’s physical function below safety threshold, nearing shock.]
[To ensure the host’s survival, the Physique Recovery Potion has been automatically used.]
Naoki’s brain went “buzz.”
No!
Don’t come here!
A gentle yet domineering warm current exploded from his heart without warning, instantly washing through his limbs and bones.
It felt like a whole heavenly river was being poured into a land cracked by long drought.
His originally weak and sore muscles swelled up, filled with power again.
His vision, which had been darkening due to Chakra overdraft, instantly became clearer than if he had activated the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
His legs were like a Divine Tree rooted in the earth, incredibly steady.
Naoki’s body, which was prepared to “fall gracefully,” paused stiffly in mid-air, and then…
stood straight back up.
Because of the system’s “thoughtful service,” he stood even straighter, prouder, and with more of a powerhouse vibe than before.
“Good!
Good!
Good!”
Suddenly, a round of applause broke the silence.
Danzo Shimura stood up, his eyes flashing with fanatical light.
“Is this the potential of the Senju Clan!
This destructive power, this uncompromising dominance!
Naoki, you are a natural weapon of war!”
Danzo was trembling with excitement.
What did he see?
He saw power that transcended convention!
If this power were in the hands of the “Root”…
He was so excited he didn’t even realize what outrageous things he was saying!
Hiruzen Sarutobi also came back to his senses, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
Although he still had lingering fears, he was more pleasantly surprised: “Unexpectedly…
Naoki’s primary talent is Fire Release?
And it’s Fire Release of this intensity!
Teacher, this is a blessing for Konoha!”
Only Uchiha Kagami was currently rubbing his eyes, doubting life.
Red Chakra…
that ominous and powerful aura that flashed by just now…
Is it really not Lord Madara reincarnated into the Senju Clan?
The taste of that flame is even more Uchiha-like than mine!
The look in his eyes towards Naoki was full of confusion and…
a kind of inexplicable worship.
At this moment, everyone’s eyes turned to that man—Senju Tobirama.
As the Hokage who hated the Uchiha most and was best at Water Release, what would his reaction be?
Rage?
Questioning?
Tobirama stood up slowly.
His face was as calm as water as he walked step by step to Naoki.
Naoki swallowed: Grandpa, listen to my sophistry…
oh no, listen to my explanation…
Tobirama reached out and placed his hand on Naoki’s shoulder.
Silent for three seconds.
Then, he turned to face the teachers and students of the whole school, and said in an incomparably firm tone filled with academic authority:
“Everyone, do not panic.”
“This is not ordinary Fire Release.”
Everyone pricked up their ears.
Tobirama pointed at Naoki and spouted nonsense with a straight face: “Naoki has inherited our Senju Clan’s Yang Release physique and possesses massive life energy.
Just now, he attempted to compress the high-density Water attribute Chakra within his body to the extreme.”
“As everyone knows, according to the principles of physics, when water molecules rub violently under high pressure, they generate extremely high heat, which is the so-called’supercritical water’ phenomenon.”
“This proves that Naoki has not only inherited the Senju Clan’s Water Release but also possesses Chakra control that surpasses ordinary people!”
All teachers and students: “???”
Although they didn’t understand, it felt so powerful!
At the same time, there was a sense of sycophancy, like a mob comparing their IQ bottom lines in the face of a strong Hokage, authority, and power!
Subarashi!
So that was Water Release!
As expected of the Second Hokage, he knows so much!
“Is this scientific Ninjutsu!” Orochimaru’s eyes burst with brilliant light, as if a door to a new world had been opened.
Naoki stared blankly at his grandfather.
You can even spin this back?
Grandpa, in order not to admit that I am an Uchiha template, you even made up this “physics” that violates the common sense of the Ninja World?
Awesome!
After finishing, Tobirama looked down at Naoki and said through gritted teeth in a voice only the two of them could hear:
“You little brat, I’ll settle the score with you when we get home!”
Naoki was speechless.
What is this?
“To cover up that his grandson is an Uchiha, Second Hokage Tobirama is forced to become a physicist”?
He wanted to cry but had no tears; he really just wanted to go back and take a nap.
