Chapter 66: Asuma Rejected by Asahi

<><><><><><>

For Asahi, Fugaku naturally valued him.

When Asahi first arrived, Fugaku was already speculating about his identity.

Now that Sarutobi Hiruzen said he was the head of the Tazuna Clan, although Fugaku didn't know what the Tazuna Clan was, it was definitely not an ordinary Clan to be treated this way by the Hokage.

Moreover, Sarutobi Hiruzen had already mentioned that Asahi himself was a rare and powerful individual.

Such a person actually wanted to take Obito as his disciple. Although this child's talent wasn't great, his luck was indeed good.

As for refusing Asahi's request, Uchiha Fugaku wouldn't be that foolish.

Although Obito's talent wasn't impressive, receiving training from a powerful individual would benefit the Uchiha clan.

Furthermore, the Hokage personally sent someone to call him, and so much was said; the intention was already clear.

As the head of the clan, if he couldn't see through this hint, then he would be unworthy of being the clan leader.

"We, the Uchiha, naturally support it. If Obito can receive the guidance of Lord Asahi, it will be an honor for our entire Uchiha clan."

Uchiha Fugaku spoke diplomatically, but even this diplomatic speech was pleasing to both Asahi and Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Thank you so much for the generosity, Clan Head Fugaku."

Asahi nodded towards Uchiha Fugaku.

The process went smoothly, and everyone was happy. As for the situation where Obito would refuse Asahi's request, no one considered it.

Would Obito refuse? Obviously not.

"Rest time is over, and the assessment will continue. Next match, Sarutobi Asuma versus Akimichi Chota."

"Oh, Lord Hokage, your son is about to take the stage. I wonder how he will perform, and his opponent is not simple either."

Asahi smiled and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen. Through the recent system test, Sarutobi Asuma unsurprisingly had a B-level talent.

However, what surprised Asahi was that Akimichi Chota actually had a C+ level talent.

Of course, even though Asuma's talent met the standard, he had no intention of taking on disciples.

Unlike others, as the son of the Hokage, his identity was sensitive except Kushina's.

After all, the fact that Kushina is a Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails is a secret in Konoha, unknown to ordinary people.

If Asuma also became Asahi's disciple, it would be troublesome in the future.

Of course, the most important thing is that Asuma was a rebellious youth during his teenage years.

Educating Asuma is more than a bit challenging, and Asahi doesn't want to take on this burden.

It's better to let him gradually wake up on his own or let Sarutobi Hiruzen personally educate him.

As for investigating his talent, it's just to satisfy Asahi's curiosity.

"I don't know either, but I hope he can perform exceptionally well."

Sarutobi Hiruzen also looked expectantly at the arena, anticipating the performance of his son.

When Sarutobi Asuma took the stage and faced the chubby Chota from the Akimichi clan, he didn't underestimate him at all.

As the son of the Hokage, although he was reluctant to use this identity, it still brought him a lot of information.

For example, the current opponent, Chota of the Akimichi clan, was a genius ninja from the Akimichi clan.

He had already mastered some of the clan's secret techniques, and his attacking power was extremely impressive.

Fortunately, most of the secret techniques of the Akimichi clan would increase his body size, and although powerful, it would slow down his speed.

And Asuma, being a wind and fire attribute ninja, had a significant advantage in both speed and the power of ninjutsu.

"Please perform the opposing seal!"

As the referee's voice fell, Asuma and Chota quickly formed the opposing seals.

Then, both of them swiftly distanced themselves, wary of each other's potential surprise attacks.

Just as Asuma knew information about Chota, Chota naturally knew about Asuma.

As the son of the Hokage, his information was of interest to more than one person.

Chota understood that if he didn't use secret techniques, he definitely wouldn't be a match for Asuma.

But once he used the Multi-Size Technique, he might end up being manipulated and defeated by Asuma.

In that case, why not use the newly learned jutsu and try to take the lead in this match?

With this thought in mind, Akimichi Chota immediately put his plan into action.

"Ninjutsu, Human Bullet Tank!"

Asuma watched in disbelief as Chota transformed into a rolling ball and charged towards him. Dude, you're not following the script here; the speed is a bit too much.

However, Asuma wasn't afraid. In a match, not only strength matters but also intelligence.

Daring to use this technique in such a confined space, he must be impatient to win!

He swiftly moved out of the way, letting Chota crash into emptiness.

Then, Asuma began forming hand seals. When Chota charged at him again, Asuma leaped into the air, jumping over Chota.

At the same time, the ninjutsu he had prepared earlier was ready.

"Wind Release, Gale Palm!"

Chota, who had just charged forward, intended to change direction quickly and charge at Asuma again.

But before he could change direction, he felt a tremendous force coming from behind.

With the massive inertia he already had, Chota was propelled out of the competition area by Asuma's Wind Release jutsu, the Gale Palm.

"The winner, Sarutobi Asuma!"

"Indeed, like father, like son. This kid will surely achieve great things in the future."

Watching Asuma effortlessly secure the victory, Asahi nodded in approval.

"Haha, my son still has a lot to improve."

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen felt happy inside, he remained modest in his words.

But seriously, can you stop being modest while smiling? It just comes off as insincere!

Indeed, he and Jiraiya are truly master and disciple. Yesterday, when Jiraiya introduced Minato, he had the same expression.

"The next match, Yūhi Kurenai versus Momo!"

Soon, the assessment reached its conclusion, and only one pair was left in the arena—Yūhi Kurenai and Momo.

As Yūhi Kurenai and Momochi took the stage, the duel between these two female students once again captured everyone's attention.

In the previous match with an all-female lineup, it was Shizune against Rin.

Asahi also perked up and glanced at Yūhi Kurenai. 

After two consecutive matches with D-level talents, not even a single D+, it was getting boring. 

The battles felt monotonous—just a punch here, a kick there. Except for the Body Flicker Technique, no one seemed to use ninjutsu.

The scenes were far from spectacular.

However, when the match unfolded, it left everyone in awe.

This slightly chubby little girl with a baby face—she's the future aloof and mature lady? The contrast is quite surprising.
