The Strongest Hokage

unt of power his fist can produce

[Lets try the ability again this time] Yuu thought

He could hardly suppress his excitement, clenched his fist, bent his arm. The white halo surrounded his fist as he threw it at an empty space.

FWWOOOF!

As his fist flew and hit his target, the halo suddenly burst

PFWaaHH!

Space where he hit his fist suddenly had cracks as if it were a broken fragile glass. The cracks were slim, yet he knew it had more power than before…

[Sure enough, the ability was enhanced yet its unfortunate, my overall strength is still quite low, its reach is still short]

He felt the range of his quaking ability only reached about a meter away from his fist. Of course, the range would also improve along as he trains.

For now, his ability would only be effective in melee. Yuu currently still has no techniques for long range.

An idea dawned upon Yuu. he took out a kunai from his pouch and held it. The kunai suddenly had a layer of white light. He threw it at a faraway tree.

THUK!

Nailed to the tree, the white light surrounding the kunai disappeared as small spatial cracks formed around the area where it penetrated.

KRK! KRKK!! GRMMM!

The tree then shook as the superficial layer of the trunk broke apart.

[Trying to use the ability this way appeared to diminish some of my abilitys power, no matter, its enough for now] Yuu said as he grinned.

[In the future I could imbue it with my chakra nature, it would enhance its penetrating power] Yuu thought as he went to the tree and pulled the kunai

He looked at the effect of his ability. Fairly satisfied, he nodded and went in the direction of the shinobi academy

[There is a one-on-one test today, I cannot train heavily to conserve my strength]

He stopped by his apartment and ate a meal first before going to the academy

The shinobi academy was founded by Senju Tobirama out of military necessity, to nurture the next generation of shinobi, and to create a standardized shinobi force.

Presently, the number of the students in the academy was still low compared to canon as many clans were in decline. An exception was the Uchiha, they were still strong with many members. For ordinary village families though, they can only stand aside and look up to the prestigious clans.

[You came…]

When Yuu walked into the classroom, Kushina greeted him. Yuu thought that she would be the only one who would greet him too. Other students outright ignored him, some even glared at him.

[Yep] Yuu said as he smiled at the redhead

He went to sit in his place while Kushina, still looking at him said

[I gave you an ointment last night, did you bring it?]

[Ugh…I forgot?]

[Why are you so careless?? How are you going to take care of yourself later if you got hurt?] Kushina said while having bulging, angry face

[…] Yuu was silently getting annoyed

[Argh, why does she think that me getting injured would be a sure thing? She doesnt really have any confidence in me does she?]
