"Jonin?"
Sarutobi Asuma's eyes widened, and he instinctively asked, "How is this possible?"
The ninja world is extremely cruel.
Whether someone can become a Jonin can be determined during their time at the Ninja Academy.
Even if someone is a late bloomer, they should be able to make a name for themselves within two or three years of graduation.
But Kitazawa's performance was quite average, both during his time at the Ninja Academy and during the two years he spent as a junior ninja after graduation.
After becoming a Chunin, he gave up on himself and went to work as a teacher at the Ninja Academy.
"You're not very familiar with the situation in Konoha Village while you're in the Fire Country Metropolis. Kitazawa is currently studying under Lady Tsunade."
Kurenai Yuhi continued, "Many people in Konoha already consider him to be Lady Tsunade's student."
"...?"
Sarutobi Asuma suddenly felt isolated from the world.
He hasn't been back to Konoha Village for only a year, how come he has changed so much?
When he returned to the village for the last Chinese New Year, Beize was still unknown.
Could it be that he advanced from Chunin to Jonin in just one year? And even became a student of Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha?
Sarutobi Asuma found this incredible.
The main reason is that Kitazawa's previous performance was too ordinary.
The contrast was so stark that he couldn't believe it.
Sarutobi Asuma's gaze suddenly sharpened.
Why is it always Kurenai Yuhi talking?
has a problem!
“We are classmates and ninjas from Konoha. We can’t just stand by and do nothing when you’re in trouble.”
Kitazawa, seeing that Yuhi Kurenai had finished speaking, said, "Just tell us if there's anything we can help you with."
Sarutobi Asuma fell silent.
If Kitazawa truly possessed the strength of a Jonin, coupled with Kurenai Yuhi, a special Jonin, they could easily suppress Kazuma and his group.
"Words are no proof."
Sarutobi Asuma glanced at Yuhi Kurenai and said, "How about we have a spar?"
Kurenai's attitude made him feel threatened.
He wanted to prove to Kurenai that his strength far surpassed Kitazawa's.
Chapter 196 Red: I'm already Kitazawa's girlfriend
The square outside the palace.
Kitazawa and Sarutobi Asuma stood facing each other.
"You two remember to stop when you've got enough. Getting injured at this crucial moment will be detrimental to your mission."
Kurenai Yuhi stood not far away and reminded him.
Beside her were Kabuto Yakushi, Torune Aburame, and Izumi Uchiha.
They were all very curious about who would win.
Sarutobi Asuma is a very famous figure in Konoha Village.
After all, he is Hiruzen Sarutobi's son.
However, as Kitazawa's students, they naturally supported him.
"bring it on!"
Sarutobi Asuma said with great confidence.
Although he doesn't possess a top-tier bloodline limit, he is quite strong, an elite Jonin, and skilled in Fire Release and Wind Release.
Kitazawa glanced at the chakra blade in his hand.
His chakra blades resemble brass knuckles, worn on the four fingers of his left and right hands.
Body Flicker Technique!
Kitazawa's body became a blur, speeding away at an extremely fast pace.
"Good timing!"
Sarutobi Asuma is least afraid of close combat.
He gripped the chakra blade tightly, channeling wind-style chakra into it, instantly causing a faint blue layer to rise to the surface of the chakra blade.
Two streaks of blue light flashed by.
Sarutobi Asuma unleashed both fists, slamming them towards Kitazawa.
Strange power!
Kitazawa stopped and threw a punch.
Sarutobi Asuma was taken aback.
What's happening here?
How can flesh and blood fight against his chakra blade?
Sarutobi Asuma didn't have time to think.
His eyes narrowed, his right fist aimed at Kitazawa's fist, and his left fist slashed upwards, the chakra blade cutting towards Kitazawa's wrist.
The fist strikes first.
The two men's right fists collided.
Sarutobi Asuma's confident expression suddenly froze.
An unparalleled force emanated from Kitazawa's right fist.
His right arm instantly lost sensation, and his body flew backward at the same time.
With a loud bang!
Sarutobi Asuma crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Kitazawa did not press his advantage but stood still and waited.
Kurenai Yuhi's face showed surprise.
what happened?
Although she guessed that Sarutobi Asuma was no match for Kitazawa, how come he couldn't even last one round?
Isn't he an elite Jonin?
"Amazing!"
Uchiha Izumi exclaimed in amazement.
The rumored third-generation heir was sent flying with a single punch.
Is he just too bad?
No, it's obvious that Kitazawa is too strong.
"It's Lady Tsunade's incredible strength."
Kabuto adjusted his glasses and said in a mature tone, "Asuma-senpai was careless, or rather, underestimated Kitazawa-sensei."
Just then, Sarutobi Asuma quickly got up.
He looked at Kitazawa with a mixture of surprise and anger.
He lost so badly to Kurenai that he was immediately reduced to a red-hot level.
"Again!"
Sarutobi Asuma was naturally unconvinced.
Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning!
A large amount of chakra gathered in his throat, and he exhaled a thick cloud of ash.
The billowing smoke obscured the view, and Sarutobi Asuma's body vanished from sight.
Kitazawa felt the hot wind blowing in his face.
These soots have temperatures comparable to magma; contact with them can cause burns.
More importantly, Sarutobi Asuma is hidden in the ashes, ready to launch a fatal attack at any moment.
Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!
Kitazawa calmly formed hand seals.
A stream of water appeared out of nowhere, swirling around him and rising into a wall of water.
"It's the Second Hokage's Water Release technique!"
Sarutobi Asuma, who was hiding in the shadows, was startled.
Because only Tobirama Senju's Water Release: Water Formation Wall is different from the ordinary Water Release: Water Formation Wall.
It is four-sided, revolving around the caster in a circular motion, rather than on one side.
This means a more comprehensive defense.
The soot surged towards the water wall, instantly producing a large amount of smoke.
But the water wall was not evaporated; instead, it continuously replenished the gaps.
Kitazawa looked around and suddenly heard a shrill sound that seemed to tear through the air.
He instinctively turned his head and saw a chakra blade pierce through the water wall and come right in front of him.
This is Sarutobi Asuma's Wind Release: Emerald Gale.
Its effect is to remotely control chakra blades to unleash terrifying wind-style attacks.
Wind Release: Vacuum Blade!
At the critical moment, Kitazawa, wielding a kunai, blocked the chakra blade.
But the next second, a cracking sound was heard.
The kunai developed a crack.
Kitazawa wasn't surprised.
It's perfectly reasonable for a chakra blade with tens of millions of taels of chakra to shatter a kunai with less than a thousand taels of chakra.
Sarutobi Asuma suddenly appeared.
He reached out, grasped the chakra blade, and then exerted force.
The kunai was completely severed.
Clang!
Kitazawa drew the ninja sword given to him by Hinata Hyuga with lightning speed.
The ninja sword and the chakra blade clashed, producing a piercing sound.
Sarutobi Asuma raised an eyebrow.
Nice knife!
Just as he was preparing to change his move, his pupils suddenly dilated.
Kitazawa raised his right hand, and highly compressed chakra was spinning wildly in his palm.
"Rasengan?"
Sarutobi Asuma was greatly shocked and subconsciously used the Body Flicker Technique to dash in the opposite direction.
