Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan
chapter-26

Guy doesn’t have any Kekkai Genkai himself, but his acuity isn’t weak and his mastery of Strong Fist taijutsu is especially very high, so Kuroto’s use of Rein Wheel naturally will not escape Guy’s perception at such a close range.

But Guy didn’t think much about it. Since Kuroto explained that it is a secret technique, he immediately exclaimed in surprise, “I didn’t even notice it, until the Kaguya clan shinobi was already very close, I have to say, your technique is really very powerful!”

Rein Wheel is the same as Tendo Pain’s Shinra Tensei. It’s a really strong technique and doesn’t even need seal printing, so it can be used at a moment’s notice.

Those unaware of its existence are very easy to get caught in the first encounter under a surprise attack.

Not long even Sasori of the Red Sand was almost taken by surprise, by this technique, and he still lost the Sandaime KazeKage puppet that is now in Kuroto’s control, this just goes to show just how useful is Rein Wheel in changing the battle situation.

At this time, Kuroto put his smile away and said solemnly: “Remember, don’t reveal information about this technique to anyone, it’s a secret technique which will actually be effective only if it’s information isn’t known to the other party!”

The secret of Rein Wheel is also one of the reasons why Kuroto didn’t choose to capture the wandering ninjas alive but was eliminated on the spot.

Guy nodded to Kuroto’s words, “I understand, I won’t tell about it to anyone.”

Kuroto wasn’t worried whether Guy would accidentally reveal this information, although the said party looks a bit funny and comical, Kuroto knows it full well that Guy is actually a very disciplined shinobi.

After some more discussions both Kuroto and Guy speeded their travel speed to return to the village as early as possible.

Back to the village, Hyuga Kuroto and Might Guy went straight to the task center and deliver a comprehensive task completion report along with the proof of the completion in the form of 5 corpses.

Since the mission was completed perfectly, the authority of Team Hyuga Kuroto was increased again, and now all the A-class tasks including assassination missions were open to Team Kuroto.

Because Kuroto not only completed the mission perfectly but also managed to gain a corpse of mist shinobi with Shikotsumyako kekkai genkai, so which was considered over-completion.

A ninja’s body is, to a certain extent, a source of intelligence.

In particular, the corpse of a ninja with some kind of Kekkai Genkai is of a greater research value, so during the war period, the major ninja villages generally organize a capable corpse collection team, specifically responsible for collecting the corpses of ninjas with kekkai genkai for the purpose of research.

In the following months, Kuroto and Guy completed tasks like madmen. As chunin, they completed four more A-level missions and nine B-level missions with a very efficient rate, the two-man team now attracted quite the attention from other shinobi for their effective task completion.

The receptionist at the mission center also began to take the initiative to screen out the mission’s team Kuroto to provide better convenience.

After completing another B-level mission, Kuroto who was on his way home suddenly felt someone spying on him…

He observed his surroundings calmly but couldn’t find anything to confirm this feeling.

Although people were passing by him on the surrounding streets, it didn’t appear as though someone was hiding in the dark. Kuroto can be very sure of this because of the Tenseigan, but he still felt that someone or something was spying on him.

It made him wonder why he suddenly felt as such.

Then suddenly he thought of a secret technique, that could have been used to give Kuroto this feeling, a secret technique used by Sandaime Hokage-sama.

Crystal Ball Jutsu!

“Does that mean Hokage-sama spying on me? It seems that the hard work of the past few months has finally allowed me to enter Sandaime-sama’s field of vision!”

After guessing that it might be Hokage-sama secretly spying on him, Kuroto didn’t care too much.

The snooping of Sandaime-sama obviously meant that he has started to consider candidates, and Hyuga Kuroto is under inspection, otherwise, given the current situation of the village, Kuroto doesn’t believe Sandaime-sama who are busy with official duties and much important paperwork will be interested in observing some chunin.

Such spying lasted for a month.

Kuroto is originally very cautious of his actions, and after realizing that Sandaime-sama might be spying on him, he became more mindful of his actions. There was no abnormal behavior. Except for performing tasks continuously, he can be quite sure that Sandaime-sama won’t find anything else.

And sure enough, it didn’t take long for Kuroto to receive a notice for being selected as a candidate for internal assessment for promotion to the rank of a Tokubetsu Jonin.

Tokubetsu Jonin is regarded as the high-level combat power of the village. Although the village can mobilize tens of thousands of shinobi’s in the war period, in fact, the number of Jonin and Tokubetsu Jonin are limited to a few hundred, the remaining percentage of shinobi are Chunin and Genin.

This difference in number signifies that a Tokubetsu Jonin has the status and power of a deputy commander. During the war period, a Tokubetsu Jonin is even required to command several three-man teams to perform tasks.

The site of the assessment was an Anbu secret base, upon reaching the exam site Kuroto found several familiar faces.

Among the candidates, there were various shinobi of his generation including, Might Guy, Yuhi Kurenai, Sarutobi Asuma, Umino Iruka, Mitarashi Anko, Shiranui Genma, Hayate Gekko, Ebisu, and others. These chunin ninjas are of the same generation as Kuroto, other than them there are also many elite Chunin who have already reached middle age, and there is also the figure of Uchiha Shisui, a genius shinobi from the Uchiha Clan who is only a few years younger than Kuroto.

As soon as Kuroto entered the selection grounds, he could hear Guy shout from a distance, “Kuroto, here, here!”

Not intending to embarrass Guy Kuroto walked over and greeted his teammate and other shinobi of the same generation together at the same time.

If it was before Kuroto would be a little reserved in getting along with this group of people, after all, shinobi is a profession that regards strength to be a very important factor. If there is no strength, even if the opposite party is a classmate from the same year, their relationship will never be truly harmonious.

Fortunately for Kuroto, that’s no longer the case here, he is confident enough in dealing with these classmates calmly, in terms of mental fortitude he even feels a little superior over the rest.

Seeing Kuroto’s indifferent cold face, Sarutobi Asuma decided to take the initiative, “Hey Kuroto, I heard that you and Guy have completed several A-level missions in a very short period, is that really true?”

Attracted by Asuma’s question the rest of the shinobi also focused their attention on Kuroto, obviously, they are very interested in listening to the candidate of the talk of the town.

Kuroto nodded arrogantly, “Yeah.”

Guy on the side also laughed and said, “How about it? I didn’t lie, did I? We really did complete many A-Class and B-Class missions in the past few months!”

As the person in question always being laughed at by everyone, Guy has always been listening to others gloat and brag about their strength and achievements, but today, it is finally his turn to boast, naturally, he is in a surprisingly good mood.

When the tail of the crane, like Guy now became an object of reverence, everyone’s mood was obviously a little down, but everyone here is a shinobi they have a strong mind so the topic gradually changed during the waiting period for the Tokubetsu Jonin test.

Asuma glanced around, and then whispered in a low voice only for everyone to hear, “I heard that more than two hundred chunin candidates are participating in the assessment, and there are only fifteen spots available for Tokubetsu Jonin rank!”

“……. hisss…….”

Everyone took a shocking breath.

More than two hundred participants competing for fifteen spots, this means that 1 selection per 13 or 14 individuals, how tough it would be to be ranked up to a Tokubetsu Jonin can be imagined from this fact alone.

Asuma’s early information naturally made many of these chunin ninjas depressed, Iruka said in a pessimistic mood, “It seems to be hopeless right now.”

Kurenai and Ebisu also sighed, apparently as unconfident as Iruka.

Seeing Iruka’s sighing in such a depressed manner, Asuma looked dissatisfied: “Hey, can’t you have a little confidence over yourself, that bastard Kakashi has already reached the rank of a Jonin ninja so long ago, how can we give up so easily?”

As the son of Sandaime Hokage, Asuma has been left behind by Kakashi, this has always been Asuma’s heart knot, and the fact that sometimes Sandaime-Sama even uses the example of Hatake Kakashi to educate him, which makes him very depressed.

Guy on the side who considers Kakashi as his Eternal Rival also clenched his fists and agreed: “Yes, we must catch up with Kakashi, as soon as possible!”

Kuroto on the side didn’t bother in getting involved in the discussion of how to catch up with Kakashi when the likes of Obito, Nagato, Toneri, and Madara are the enemies he is preparing himself to fight against.

Therefore, Kuroto took the time to observe other candidates, he roughly counted and the result was the same as Asuma said, there are most like about two hundred Chunin ninjas here. However, none of them had a very high amount of Chakra, this made him confident enough in his abilities.

As Kuroto was analyzing the candidates, a young ninja came to the front and spoke, “Senpai, thank you for taking care of Itachi. He has mentioned about to me several times and said that you are a very good ninja!”

Kuroto looked at the other party and asked, “If I am not wrong you are Uchiha Shisui?”

Upon realizing his mistake Shisui apologized, “Please forgive me for my rudeness in not introducing myself, senpai, I am Uchiha Shisui!”
