While Kiyoshi was looking ahead, resting and contemplating his future path, Mei in the audience seats wasn't feeling so good.
"This guy..."
Mei clenched her small hands. Kiyoshi dared to keep staring at her.
Since birth, since she could remember, she had never felt anyone disturb her state of mind so much.
It made her want to rush down there right now.
Mei didn't understand why Kiyoshi, who looked healthy, and reasonably handsome, would actually do something so humiliating to her.
New hatred coupled with old grudges, plus Kiyoshi's provocative actions now, made Mei increasingly angry.
"Mei, if I have a chance to fight with Kiyoshi, I will avenge you."
Katsura said, suppressing the excitement in his heart.
He was becoming more and more satisfied with Kiyoshi.
Kiyoshi, from the field below, clearly saw Mei's expression and Katsura's eagerness through his Sharingan. He withdrew his gaze and continued the competition.
The third round of exams started at nine in the morning and would be finished in the afternoon.
Only 30 plus examinees had made it to the third round, and only a few would be promoted.
Next, Kiyoshi only needs to defeat three opponents in a row to be promoted.
Time passed, and Kiyoshi easily defeated the enemies he encountered later.
Unfortunately, until the end, Kiyoshi didn't encounter any strong enemies, not even Katsura.
"Uchiha Kiyoshi, promoted!"
The chief proctor said loudly.
To ensure his voice reached every part of the field, he also mobilized chakra to his throat to amplify the spread of the sound.
"Kiyoshi is probably invincible among genins, right?"
"Don't mention genin. I feel like even those veteran chunin might lose against him."
After the chief proctor announced his promotion, Kiyoshi walked out of the lower arena.
He went to the upper seats in the audience, where people began to whisper.
In the first battle, Kiyoshi amazed them with his unparalleled speed and powerful Fire release.
To be able to master Chakra Flow at this age?
This made many ninjas who had been in contact with swords for a lifetime feel ashamed.
Kiyoshi's starting point is someone else's ending point.
How can they compare?
"Mikoto, the one I asked you to take Kiyoshi to learn was Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, right?" Fugaku suddenly asked.
He and Mikoto were both sitting in the audience seats.
Several Uchihas were selected for the third round this time, so Fugaku, as the clan leader, naturally had to come and watch the ceremony.
The majority of the work force of Konoha Military Police Force is made up of Chunins.
Entering means being assigned a proper position with a stable monthly salary.
"Yes."
Mikoto's pair of dark, watery eyes turned to Kiyoshi, who was walking towards Kurenai and Asuma.
What she had taken Kiyoshi to learn was indeed Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.
How come Kiyoshi's was different from theirs, and the fireball was so much bigger?
"Perhaps he is very talented in this area."
In the end, Mikoto could only come to this conclusion, a logically self-consistent conclusion.
"There's also one more thing. There were rumors before that Kiyoshi had awakened the Sharingan in both eyes."
Fugaku spoke after Mikoto finished speaking.
"Oh, so that's the Sharingan's ability."
Mikoto said slowly, her elastic lips opening and closing, vaguely revealing the white teeth inside.
The Sharingan has extraordinary abilities such as observation, copying, and hypnosis.
One can also observe chakra flow and can cast and see through genjutsu.
The Sharingan can be considered a weapon. It's strength depends purely on the user's ability.
Everyone's development and focus on the Sharingan is different.
"It seems that Kiyoshi is good at copying ninjutsu and even has his own understanding of it." Mikoto said with a faint smile.
"Probably so."
Fugaku nodded.
In that case, Kiyoshi is a true Uchiha clansman.
The Kekkei genkai was not only unaffected by mixed blood, but is even stronger than the average Uchiha.
In recent years, the Uchiha clan has not rejected intermarriage with other clans. After all, not every clansman can awaken the Sharingan.
But the probability of two genius' child being a genius is several times higher than that of other clansmen.
"Take Kiyoshi to see the girls in the clan when you have time." Fugaku said.
What kind of bond could be more solid than leaving a child behind?
This way, he would be more at ease promoting talented people like Kiyoshi in the future.
"Okay."
Mikoto nodded, thinking about which girls in the clan were suitable for Kiyoshi.
...
On the other side
Kurenai stared at Kiyoshi, and smiled softly.
"Kiyoshi is really amazing."
Kurenai felt that Kiyoshi, who had come from a distant country, was very powerful. Lately, this feeling had been getting stronger.
His style was completely different from the ninjas of the same age in the village.
When talking with Kiyoshi, she found that Kiyoshi always came up with some whimsical ideas.
And... his body is so strong.
Kurenai looked at Kiyoshi's strong physique, which was covered by a robe.
Because of sweat, she could vaguely see the lines of Kiyoshi's abdominal muscles.
Each muscle was very smooth and their appearance was pleasing to the eye.
She felt that this was a kind of talent.
Other people like Asuma will probably never be able to achieve that type of physique even if they train their entire life.
Kurenai turned her head and looked at Asuma.
The Sarutobi clan's strength is actually considered to be relatively great among the ninja clans.
Their clan has a contract with monkeys, and they can summon monkeys for help.
It's just that their physique is not as good-looking as Kiyoshi's. They give off a rough and barbaric feeling.
"Kurenai, what's wrong?"
Feeling Kurenai's gaze, Asuma immediately lowered his voice and put on a calm look.
He had heard that steady and mature men were attractive to girls.
"It's nothing, I just feel like Kiyoshi seems to have become a little stronger." Kurenai shook her head and said.
She had a strange idea in her mind. She felt that Asuma might become a rough, greasy uncle in the future.
"Kurenai, haven't you noticed that I have also gotten stronger too?"
Asuma quickly lifted his sleeves to show off his muscles to Kurenai.
Kurenai glanced at it and just nodded slightly.
Kiyoshi looked at the actions of the two and shook his head.
This thing is about talent.
Kiyoshi, who has the talent of the Yotsuki clan, has far less vitality than the Senju and Uzumaki clans.
But in terms of physical talent, the Yotsuki clan is already one of the pinnacles in the ninja world.
Only Kinkaku and Ginkaku, who could eat Nine-Tails' raw flesh, can compare. After all, they are also descendants of the Six Paths.
And they had obviously inherited the bloodline in terms of physical body, with horns on their heads.
