If Might Guy had a bloodline that provided him a good physical talent, the Eight Inner Gates might have been even more powerful in his hands.
If so, the final kick from the Gate of Death could very well have ended everything.
Unfortunately, Might Guy didn't have any special bloodline.
"I'm going to the restroom." Kiyoshi said.
A small snake head popped out from his chest.
The White Snake had been in Kiyoshi's arms, ready to help heal minor wounds. But Mei wasn't strong enough to injure Kiyoshi, so Kiyoshi didn't need help.
"Oh, okay."
Kurenai nodded.
She stood up, and moved aside, then sat down again after Kiyoshi went out.
After Kiyoshi left, Asuma looked around and said, "Should we go out to eat later after the exam? Let's celebrate."
"Is Kiyoshi going?"
Kurenai blurted out.
Come to think of it, Kiyoshi hasn't gone to the barbecue with them much.
"Kiyoshi should… go, right?" Asuma said.
Kurenai's reaction broke Asuma's heart a little.
What's wrong with Kurenai anyway?
Why does she bring up Kiyoshi at every turn?
"Kurenai… listen to me, Kiyoshi seems to be on good terms with Natsu from the Hyuga clan. I heard that Natsu has been running to the Uchiha compound."
Asuma said the gossip he had heard from his companions.
"Is… that so?"
Kurenai suddenly thought of Rin.
She remembered that Rin had also gone to the Uchiha compound to find Kiyoshi every now and then.
Could it be that Kiyoshi is secretly teaching someone else?
Her cheeks puffed up immediately, looking very cute.
…
"Hiss hiss…"
The White Snake nudged Kiyoshi's neck, coiling around his shoulders.
After spending some time together, it was already very familiar with Kiyoshi.
"I know, I'll give you meat to eat when we get back." Kiyoshi said while washing his hands.
Kiyoshi was more relaxed when facing a summon like the White Snake than when facing other ninjas. After all, such summons are much more weak to Kiyoshi's Sharingan's genjutsu.
Even Orochimaru's summon, Manda ultimately died by being forcibly controlled by Sasuke.
When pressing the faucet switch, Kiyoshi heard some voices.
"Natsu, remember to prepare a generous gift, and then come with me to visit Kiyoshi."
Ginka's voice came from the corridor outside the restroom.
"Yes, Ginka-sama."
Another voice that was a bit timid sounded.
Kiyoshi knew it was Natsu as soon as he heard it. She was eliminated in the first match and could only wait for the next Chunin Exam.
"Okay, let's go back quickly."
Ginka hurriedly led Natsu away.
Hearing that today was the Chunin Exam, she had specifically come with Natsu to watch.
She wanted to take this opportunity to see Kiyoshi's talent with her own eyes. As a result, the more she looked, the more alarmed she became. This kid's talent is so amazing.
Thinking about it carefully, Kiyoshi has only been here for a little over a year.
Even though he is a transfer student and is older than the other ninjas of the same class, his talent is shocking.
Especially when Ginka had participated in the main family's internal meeting, she had heard the clan leader say that things have been uneasy recently.
War may begin at any time, and the Hyuga clan must be prepared.
Talents like Kiyoshi will definitely accumulate a lot of merit in the war and soar to the sky.
Ginka thought for a while, and her pace became faster and faster. She was thinking about a way to reconcile with Kiyoshi. Natsu followed behind, hanging her head.
After the two walked away, Kiyoshi came out of the restroom.
"The balance of power has shifted."
Kiyoshi couldn't help but mutter.
His pupil power fluctuated. It seems that the time for justice is not too far off.
"Hiss hiss…"
The White Snake spat out it's bright red tongue, not understanding it's master's emotions.
Although it has the intelligence of a three or four-year-old child, it has not received any education, nor has it lived independently in nature. From birth, it has been soaking in fluid.
Looking at the White Snake like this, Kiyoshi stroked it head.
One day, the White Snake may become another route for his pupil power to increase.
In the ninja world, it is not uncommon for summons to transform into human form.
The White Snake Sage's subordinates in Ryuchi Cave, Tagorihime, Ichikishimahime, and Tagitsuhime had all transformed from snakes into humans.
If that doesn't work, some objects can also transform some creatures into a human.
The drug that Orochimaru had administered to Mizuki could turn him into a tiger, so why can't he create something that can turn an animal into a human?
Thinking about it, Kiyoshi walked out of the dark corridor with the White Snake.
The sunlight shone in from the outside, making Kiyoshi's shadow more distorted. His shadow looked like a newborn demon.
…
Back in his seat, Kiyoshi heard Kurenai ask about Natsu.
"It's just some things from the previous Chunin Exam. She asked me to discuss it." Kiyoshi said vaguely, skipping the topic.
"Next, Kurenai from Konoha against Tomoko Tooyama from Iwagakure!"
Hearing her name being called, Kurenai had no choice but to go down first.
Kiyoshi watched Kurenai's fight with another female ninja with interest.
Fights between women are also very interesting. Unfortunately, Kurenai mostly used genjutsu, and the battle ended quickly.
The battle of genjutsu can only be seen by the caster and the recipient, no one else can see it.
Time passed slowly, and by the time the sun was about to set, today's matches were all completed.
"This Chunin Exam has allowed me to see the friendship between various countries. I hope everyone's friendship will last forever, and also these candidates are very…"
Sarutobi Hiruzen stood on the platform to give a speech.
He mainly said some words of encouragement to the ninjas, so that they continue to work hard after becoming a Chunin.
Very few people had become a Chunin this time, but fortunately Kiyoshi's team had all passed.
Asuma's strength goes without saying, and Kurenai, the daughter of the genjutsu elite Jonin Yuhi Shinku, wasn't much worse either.
Ninjas who have passed this Chunin Exam and become a Chunin will receive more attention in the future.
"Kiyoshi, do you want to go eat barbecue?"
Kurenai asked, pulling on the corner of Kiyoshi's robe with her small hand.
"Sure."
Kiyoshi said lightly.
After becoming a Chunin, he can accept more difficult missions, so there is no need to do chores like before.
It's not bad to go out and spend money occasionally to relax.
"Great, Asuma, Kiyoshi is going too."
Kurenai turned to look at Asuma.
Asuma looked at the smiling Kurenai and had to squeeze out a smile.
Asuma's thoughts on training became stronger and stronger.
'Guy should have spare training clothes, right?' Asuma thought to himself.
