14. The Attacked Uzumaki Kushina

  Sarutobi Hiruzen carefully studied the Thunder Breath Sword Form scroll Sora had given him.

  This was no longer a matter of simple approval—it ure astonishment.

  From Sarutobi Hiruzen's seasoned perspective on ninjutsu, the first five sword forms of the Thunder Breath teique could only be cssified as B-rank ninjutsu in terms of power. However, the st two forms, the Sixth Form ah Form, possessed the potency of A-rank teiques.

  When evaluated as a plete set, the Thunder Breath Sword Forms could be cssified as A-rank overall.

  This level of sophisticatio Sarutobi Hiruzen pleasantly surprised. A plete set of ninjutsu, especially ohis refined, was incredibly valuable.

  Sarutobi Hiruzen put the scroll away and looked at Sora with satisfa. "Sora, on behalf of Konoha, I want to sihank you for tributing to this Thunder Breath Full Sword Type. What reward would you like?"

  Sora shook his head and replied, "This is my duty. I am deeply hoo be able to tribute to Konoha. That is reward enough for me."

  Sarutobi Hiruzen's satisfa with Sora deepened.

  Sora's talent was undeniable. Mastery of both the Lightning Style Chakra form ge and Nature Transformation, bined with the plete Thunder Breath Sword Forms, demonstrated a level of skill that guaranteed his future as a Jōnin.

  What impressed Sarutobi Hiruzen the most was Sora's loyalty. To offer such a valuable A-rank teique without hesitation or reservation roof of his itment to Konoha.

  Initially, Sarutobi Hiruzen had suspected Sora might harbour reseoward the vilge, but this act dispelled any such doubts.

  Otherwise, why would Sora share aire set of A-rank ninjutsu?

  Sarutobi Hiruzen began to see Sora as someoh exceptional potential orthy of iment and cultivation.

  Furthermore, the fact that Sora carried half of the Uchiha 's bloodline made him uniquely positioo influenediate matters involving the Uchiha iure.

  Sarutobi Hiruzen approached Sora, patted him on the shoulder, and said with encement, "Sora, ensure your safety during your training. Work hard, and do not let me down."

  Sora slightly lowered his head, his expression momentarily unreadable.

  Does this mean Sarutobi Hiruzen intends to put me to greater use?

  That's... perfect.

  The more Sarutobi Hiruzen relied on him, the smoother Sora's pns could unfold.

  Sora raised his head, meeting Sarutobi Hiruzen's gaze with determination. "I will not fail you, Hokage-sama!"

  After a few more words of encement, Sarutobi Hiruzen dismissed Sora, who then bowed respectfully ahe office.

  Oside the Hokage Building, Sora exhaled deeply.

  In the foreseeable future, Sora's time will be devoted to training.

  Konoha was currently in a period of peace, meaning no major events were likely to occur, and opportunities for witness points were scarce.

  Currently, Sora was effectively penniless when it came to witness points, which left him somewhat frustrated.

  He couldn't help but feel the system had desighis iionally. A standard sword form es 10 witness points, and replenishing Chakra costs 30 points each time. After three uses, it perfectly exhausted 100 points.

  S the setting sun in the dusky sky. I'll have to work harder to grow stronger.

  Five days ter.

  The ninja school was closed for the day.

  Uzumaki Kushina had beeed all m about her outing with Sora. After finishing lunch with Uzumaki Mito, she left the house eagerly, determio arrive early at their meeting pce to surprise him.

  The streets were lined with Sakura trees in full bloom, aals drifted gently in the breeze, creating a pink carpet beh her feet. Uzumaki Kushina smiled, imagining walking with Sora uhe casg petals.

  However, her cheerful mood vahe moment she spotted someoanding near a Sakura tree ahead of her.

  It was the boy who always caused her trouble at the ninja school.

  He was staring at her with a smug expression as if ready to cause trouble again.

  From behind the boy emerged a taller figure wearing a Konoha forehead protectenin. He rested his hand on the boy's shoulder and grinned maliciously at Uzumaki Kushina.

  The Genin crossed his arms and walked forward. "So, you're the one who's been making my little brother cry."

  Uzumaki Kushina poi the boy acgly. "He's the one who provokes me! He's just a coward!"

  The Genin g his brother, who averted his gaze guiltily, then looked back at Uzumaki Kushina. With a smug expressioapped his forehead protector. "I'm a Genin. Pretty impressive, huh? Now I have to teach a brat like you a lesson for pig on my brother."

  He cracked his knuckles menagly.

  Uzumaki Kushina narrowed her eyes, deg not to waste time. She leapt onto a nearby tree and began running.

  "Hey! Don't run!" the Genin yelled, immediately chasing after her.

  He hurled a kunai, and it embedded itself iree trunk near Uzumaki Kushina, causio flinch. She hadn't expected him to use a real on.

  Uzumaki Kushina stopped abruptly, unched herself off the tree trunk, and charged directly at the Genin.

  Caught off guard, the Genin couldn't rea time, and Uzumaki Kushina's punded squarely on his chest, sending him tumbling to the ground.

  But before Uzumaki Kushina could catch her breath, a puff of white smoke repced the Genin's body with a wooden log—it was the Body Rept Teique.

  The Genin reappeared behind her, delivering a sharp blow to her neck with a hand strike. Staggered, Uzumaki Kushina fell forward, and the Genin followed up with a kick to her back, knog her to the ground.

  Grabbing her by her red hair, he yanked her head up, making Uzumaki Kushina cry out in pain. "Didn't even notice my substitution? You're just a kid, after all! And this hair—it's so red and so annoying. It's like a curse."

  The boy ughed mogly from behind him. "Hahaha, serves yht!"

  Uzumaki Kushina's sobs reached Sora, who had just arrived at the se.

  The sight of her g and being humiliated made Sora's blood boil. His mi bnk with rage as lightning began to crackle around his body.

  The boy noticed him and shouted, "Brother! Another one of her friends is here! Let's teach him a lesson too!"

  The Genin smirked cruelly, twisting his neck. "Perfect. I've been itg to deal with another brat."

  "Sora, run!" Uzumaki Kushina shouted through her tears.

  But Sora was beyond reasoning. His body arched slightly as he drew his battered standard sword. Sparks of Lightning Style Chakra flickered across his on and his entire body. His fury had reached its peak.
