I Punch the Tailed Beast Ball-Chapter 393: Good Brother Nagasawa
Chapter 393 - Good Brother Nagasawa
"That kid named Kabuto from Konoha is no ordinary kid. He looks like he's only seven or eight years old, yet he participated in the Chunin Exam, and his performance is outstanding," a Shinobi at the venue praised.
Even if he was not from Konoha, anyone would admit that Kabuto's performance was excellent, almost impeccable. When he secured the Summon Steel Tag, everything he did was efficient and there was no loss among them.
After successfully seizing the Summon Steel Tag, he even made his team stronger by teaming up with Sunagakure and Kumogakure teams.
"As expected of the Third Hokage's disciple. When he grows up, he will likely reach the Sannin-level," another Shinobi chimed in.
Not only the Shinobi from other villages, Konoha's Shinobi were also impressed.
"I've heard about Kabuto before; he graduated from the Academy at his second year just like Kakashi. After watching his performance in this Chunin Exam, I believe he may even surpass Kakashi in the future."
"Yes, on top of strong, he's also smart. Even though there were so many teams present, he effortlessly resolved the situation, turning even the enemies into allies."
"No wonder he is Lord Third's disciple. I'm sure Lord Third noticed his potential and wanted to pass on all his skills to him."
Konoha Shinobi were getting more and more excited, taking advantage of the opportunity to showcase Kabuto's talents in front of other villages' Shinobi.
It was as if they hailed Kabuto as the pride of Konoha and the future Hokage.
Although Itachi didn't seem as flashy as Kabuto in that fight, as a prodigy who graduated from the first year, his combat skills were no less impressive, so people also spoke highly of him.
"That kid Itachi Uchiha is also impressive. He seems to be a year younger than Kabuto, yet his strength is remarkable. Sunagakure Genin couldn't withstand his attacks."
"Indeed, although the Uchiha Clan members may seem arrogant and annoying, they do have many talented individuals."
This was an undeniable fact acknowledged by all Konoha Shinobi. Uchiha Clan indeed had many prodigies and promising individuals.
"Actually, Uchiha Clan isn't as arrogant and annoying as the rumors suggest. An Uchiha Shinobi was assigned to our department not too long ago, and he seems quite gentle, not as arrogant as they say," someone argued.
"Indeed, Uchiha Clan has undergone significant changes recently. It seems they voluntarily gave up their dominance in the Police Force. Now, a third of the department is non-Uchiha, and the ratio is expected to increase. Rumor has it that the future leader of the Police Force may not be from Uchiha Clan."
Konoha Shinobi shifted their discussion towards the Uchiha Clan, particularly the recent policy changes in Konoha Military Police Force.
This was a significant change, and it directly affected the relationship between Uchiha Clan and the village. People were uneasy about Uchiha Clan monopolizing such an important division.
In their boredom, people tended to indulge in conspiracy theories. The fact that an important division like Konoha Military Police Force was monopolized by Uchiha Clan added to the tension.
Uchiha Clan itself wasn't innocent. Because of that, their reputation gradually got worse and worse in the village, and their relationship with the village was also getting worse.
However, through Nagasawa's efforts in the past few years, the reputation of the Uchiha Clan was gradually improving. People in Konoha were beginning to see the real Uchiha rather than the exaggerated rumor.
They might be a proud and a bit arrogant Clan, but it was tolerable. After becoming friends with them, one would realize that Uchiha Clan was kind-hearted. Although they might not say it directly, they genuinely cared about you.
"I didn't expect Kabuto to solve the problem with such an approach," said Minato as he watched Kabuto's performance with a smile.
"How did you think he would resolve it?" Nagasawa curiously asked Minato.
"I thought he would defeat everyone with his team and take the Summon Steel Tag," replied Minato.
"Why did you think so?" Nagasawa asked. While he was surprised that Kabuto easily resolved the situation, what made Minato think Kabuto was such a brute?
"After all, Kabuto is your brother, and he was taught more by you than he was by Lord Third," Minato teased.
Nagasawa looked at Minato with a wry smile. So, in Minato's mind, he preferred to brute force everything? But when Nagasawa thought about it, he indeed had brute forced nearly everything in the past few years—beating the Nine-Tails, beating Kumogakure.
"Oh, on top of being the Third Hokage's disciple, that kid is also your disciple, Assistant Nagasawa?" Onoki understood the reason why Kabuto was so skilled.
This was the most powerful brother and anyone could ask for. No wonder someone of Kabuto's age was that strong.
"Yes," Nagasawa nodded but didn't explain much to Onoki.
The fights on the other areas were no less compelling to Kabuto's battle.
Some were fighting over the Tags, some were over the grudges between their villages, some simply wanted to collect all the scrolls to pass the exam, and some just wanted to defeat other teams. Overall, the intensity was on a completely different level compared to the first day.
Through live broadcasts, the Third Tsuchikage, the Fourth Kazekage, the Fourth Raikage, and so on discovered some information.
Among Konoha Genin, some of them used swords as their weapon. Most of them were stronger than ordinary Genin, and many of them used similar techniques, indicating that they practiced together.
Kabuto was one of them. Onoki had seen someone using a similar technique at a certain point, though not as well as Kabuto did. Onoki was certain that there was more to this.
If several talented for sword user emerged like this, Onoki had a hunch that something was happening in Konoha.
Onoki felt even more dejected. He couldn't even confirm if Nagasawa was truly at Hashirama's level. Instead, he noticed that Konoha's overall strength had risen, and their potential was extraordinary.
Nagasawa didn't care if the Special Combat Squad was revealed because of the live broadcast. It wasn't a secret division in the first place, so there was no need to conceal it.
What he was concerned about now was how Kabuto effortlessly resolved the fight over Summon Steel Tag, which he predicted to turn into chaos.
"Maybe I should set something up again tomorrow. The parameter will shrink again tomorrow, so more teams would encounter each other," Nagasawa nodded, thinking that he was such a good brother for going to great lengths for Kabuto's sake.
