Uchiha In had always considered the Substitution Technique to be a very practical Ninjutsu, and he had researched it deeply, mastering the hand signs with incredible speed.
Minato Namikaze, however, did not have such fast hand signs. Facing Uchiha In charging from behind him, Minato Namikaze barely managed to turn around, retreating a few steps, then blocked Uchiha In's attack path with his hands.
Bang~
With a dull thud, a powerful punch landed on Minato Namikaze's hands.
Uchiha In's punch held nothing back; he used his full strength.
Uchiha In also realized that after the System's cleansing of his marrow and the previous increase in his physical fitness, at his current age, he definitely possessed strength that surpassed that of an average adult.
The cannonball-like punch directly sent Minato Namikaze flying, causing him to crash onto the ground.
When Lady Tsunade saw this, her eyes lit up. This violent fighting style perfectly suited her own taste.
After one strike, Uchiha In did not stop his movements. His fists clenched, he continued to charge towards Minato Namikaze.
Minato Namikaze had just endured that blow, feeling as if his hands had been hit by a truck. He wanted to form hand signs, but his speed was half a beat too slow. Before he could finish his hand signs, Uchiha In's fist was already in front of Minato Namikaze.
"You lost."
Uchiha In said indifferently.
"Yes, I lost. I didn't expect you to be so strong, In."
Minato Namikaze also showed a wry smile.
He had originally thought Uchiha In would be strong, but he never expected Uchiha In to be strong to this extent, defeating him relying solely on simple Taijutsu.
Only when he personally faced Uchiha In did he truly understand how strong Uchiha In was.
"However, I will definitely surpass you in the future. My goal is to be Hokage!"
Minato Namikaze said with a brilliant smile.
The battle was quick and ended abruptly. Everyone hadn't even reacted before the fight was over.
"No way, that Genius Minato Namikaze was defeated so easily?"
"Maybe he underestimated him?"
"How could he underestimate him? It's clearly because Uchiha In is too strong, alright?"
"Yeah, this is too exaggerated. He clearly couldn't even beat me before."
"Maybe he just didn't want to use his true abilities before. Today, he probably used his full strength because Lady Tsunade and the others came."
The classmates discussed animatedly, and the entire training ground was bustling.
Uzumaki Kushina also walked over to Uchiha In's side and happily congratulated him, "Congratulations, In! I knew you could defeat that sissy."
Uzumaki Kushina's eyes narrowed into slits. She was happier than anyone else that Uchiha In had won, even more excited than if she herself had won.
"Thank you for your congratulations."
Uchiha In also smiled, helping Uzumaki Kushina comb her hair.
Uzumaki Kushina did not resist, her cheeks slightly red, enjoying Uchiha In's actions.
"Kushina."
At this moment, Tsunade also walked over to Uzumaki Kushina and Uchiha In, calling out Kushina's name playfully.
"Ah, Big Sister Tsunade, when did you come over?"
Uzumaki Kushina was startled and said coquettishly to Tsunade.
"I just walked over. I didn't expect you not to see me, Kushina. I'm very sad."
Tsunade teased, making Uzumaki Kushina blush profusely.
"Big Sister Tsunade.", Uzumaki Kushina said, pouting.
"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore."
Tsunade put away the smile on her face and looked at Uchiha In with a slightly serious expression.
Instantly, Uchiha In felt a surge of pressure on him.
It wasn't that Tsunade had released her Killing Intent or anything; it was just Tsunade's serious expression that made Uchiha In a little nervous.
Could Tsunade really be looking for trouble with him because of what just happened? Tsunade doesn't seem like that kind of person, does she? Uchiha In also thought with a bit of uncertainty.
"Uchiha In, I want to take you as my disciple. Do you accept?"
Chapter 29: I Accept
What? Tsunade wants to take him as her disciple?
The moment he heard Tsunade's words, Uchiha In was a little stunned.
As a member of the Uchiha Clan, he could be said to be at odds with the Senju Clan.
Furthermore, Tsunade was also a Konoha princess, so the possibility of her taking him as a disciple was even lower.
So why would Tsunade want to take him as her disciple?
Uchiha In fell into a brainstorm.
Could it be, Kushina?!
Uchiha In looked at Uzumaki Kushina beside him, whose eyes were wide open, seemingly saying 'accept, accept,' and he seemed to understand something.
It must be that Hiruzen Sarutobi saw what happened between him and Uzumaki Kushina yesterday.
This was a measure taken by Hiruzen Sarutobi to prevent the future Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki from escaping his control.
It must be like this. Perhaps in the original story, Jiraiya being able to take a liking to Minato Namikaze was also related to Minato Namikaze's relationship with Uzumaki Kushina.
This was not Uchiha In maliciously speculating on Hiruzen Sarutobi's thoughts; it was just that Uchiha In truly believed Hiruzen Sarutobi was the kind of person who would do such things.
How could Hiruzen Sarutobi, a person who only cared for Konoha and put everything else aside, allow Uzumaki Kushina to escape his control?
However, this time, the matter truly had nothing to do with Hiruzen Sarutobi; it was Tsunade's own initiative.
Of course, if Tsunade hadn't made the suggestion, Hiruzen Sarutobi would have probably come up with other methods anyway.
Having asked this question, Tsunade's inner nervousness was no less than Uchiha In's.
