Chapter 182
On a high platform outside the No. 3 training ground, Tsunade and Shizune watched Hinata and Asuma in the training ground from a distance.
Tsunade suddenly chuckled, turned to look at Shizune and asked: "Shizune, how long do you think Asuma can last?"
Shizune whispered: "Tsunade-sama, as the Hokage of Konoha Village, it's not good to say this, right?"
Tsunade said nonchalantly: "Why don't we make a bet... Three minutes, I bet Asuma can't last three minutes!"
Shizune asked: "How do you calculate this?"
Tsunade chuckled and said loudly: "It depends on who guesses the time closer!"
Shizune nodded, then looked at Tsunade with contempt.
Tsunade obviously knows the strength of Hinata and Asuma very well. Before entering the Sage Mode, it is difficult for Hinata to defeat Asuma in a short time, but once Hinata enters the Sage Mode, Asuma basically has no chance of winning.
So this battle is only three minutes of viewing.
Asuma must either defeat Hinata within three minutes or simply admit defeat after three minutes.
Shizune calmly analyzed: "Then I'll guess two minutes!"
Tsunade confidently said: "Shizune, you're doomed this time!"
"Hinata's strength has reached a bottleneck, especially in the soft fist, it is difficult to improve in a short period of time."
"If she only fights in normal state, Hinata can only use the soft fist system... Asuma also has enough understanding of Hinata. He dares to take this test, which means he is fully prepared."
Shizune said with a dark face: "Then wait and see!"
Chapter 272 Asuma was defeated and doubted his life
Asuma stomped the cigarette butt on the ground, took out the chakra double blades and said seriously: "Hinata, do you need to make any preparations?"
As early as last year, the news that Hinata was about to be promoted to a jonin was no longer a secret in the jonin circle of Konoha.
The first time Hinata became famous in the jonin circle was when she just became a ninja last year and tricked Kakashi for a meal.
Many people are speculating whether Hinata will pass this Jonin exam.
Although the Hyuga family is a ninja family of the Taijutsu school, Hinata is extremely good at close, medium and long-range combat, and her chakra volume is astonishingly huge.
In order to test Hinata's strength, a ninja who is proficient in both ninjutsu and Taijutsu is required.
The information of ninjas cannot be disclosed casually, so the examiners for the Jonin exam are only Kakashi and Asuma, two Jonin who know Hinata's strength.
However, Kakashi firmly refused this matter on the grounds that he was Hinata's responsible Jonin, so the task of the examiner could only fall on Asuma.
Asuma is also a veteran elite Jonin of Konoha. In close and medium-range combat, he is also the best in Konoha.
For this exam, Asuma also did his homework. He secretly found Hyuga Hizashi to spar with him several times and learned about the fighting routines of the Hyuga ninjas in detail.
Hinata shook her head slightly and whispered, "No need to prepare."
Asuma nodded and said seriously, "Then I declare... the jonin exam of Konoha Chunin Hinata Hyuga... officially begins!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Asuma immediately jumped back a few steps to distance himself from Hinata.
It is useless to hide when fighting against the ninjas of the Hyuga family. And considering that Hinata's technique takes three minutes to activate, Asuma must also fight quickly.
Throwing the chakra double blades in his hand into the sky, Asuma prepared to seal and activate the ninjutsu to test Hinata's current strength first.
In fact, on the way to the third training ground, Hinata has been thinking about a question.
Should I... give Asuma some face?
Although being killed instantly by a junior is an extremely shameful thing, if Asuma knew afterwards that Hinata let him go in the battle, he probably wouldn't feel happy, right?
So Hinata finally decided...I must go all out!
Whether it is a life-and-death fight or daily sparring, going all out is the greatest respect for the opponent.
At the moment when Asuma announced the "exam begins" and jumped back to distance himself, Hinata moved his feet and rushed towards Asuma quickly.
Asuma's eyes condensed slightly, and he judged in his heart: "Too impulsive!"
"If you rush forward without judging what ninjutsu your opponent wants to perform, you will put yourself in danger..."
Thinking of this, Asuma accelerated the speed of making hand seals.
"This, this is..."
It seems that there is an inexplicable resistance blocking Asuma's hands. Not to mention making hand seals, it is extremely difficult to even put both hands together.
"And Hinata's speed is so fast!"
Asuma judged the situation in his mind in an instant, and jumped to avoid Hinata's attack.
"What is going on, is it an illusion?"
Asuma felt that the air around his body seemed to be solidified. Although he was not unable to move, the weight of the air seemed to have increased several times in an instant. Every movement was like being in the deep sea, and there was resistance around his body.
It took only a split second to make a judgment.
Hinata had already arrived in front of Asuma, and her evil little hand had already reached the lower part of Asuma's abdomen.
"Soft fist technique - kidney strike!"
'Pah! '
"Ouch -"
Asuma screamed in pain, and his whole body flew upside down. The severe pain from the kidneys in his body almost made Asuma unconscious.
"No! What should Teacher Hong do next?"
Hinata immediately thought of Kurenai Yuhi, and felt that hitting Asuma's kidney was a bit unkind.
Asuma is not single like Kakashi.
Thinking of this, Hinata accelerated instantly and caught up with Asma who was flying upside down. A green light glowed on her little hand and she touched Asma's abdomen gently.
"It doesn't hurt anymore..."
While the person was still in the air, Asuma's mind thought of many things in an instant.
"too strong!"
Compared to the last battle in the Kingdom of Water, Hinata's strength has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Not only can chakra be used to create resistance against the opponent at the moment of taking action, but the speed is even faster than before. Even if there is no resistance, Asuma believes that he is definitely no match for Hinata in a close combat.
Originally, this was fine.
But after Hinata attacked her opponent, she instantly healed her opponent's injuries before they flew upside down and even landed on the ground.
This is definitely not something that ordinary medical ninjas can do.
'boom! ’
Asuma fell to the ground and stared blankly at the sky. He was already doubting life.
'call--'
The breeze blows...
Even though Asuma didn't look embarrassed at the moment, she was extremely miserable, as if she was being robbed by dozens of big men...
Hinata trotted over and helped Asuma up, asking concernedly: "Asuma-sensei, are you okay?"
"I'm fine..."
Thinking of Hinata Hizashi's evaluation of Hinata, Asuma smiled bitterly, looked at Hinata and said, "Hinata, you are indeed a genius that only emerges from the Hinata family in decades!"
"you win!"
"I declare that Konoha Chunin Hinata Hinata passed the jounin exam..."
Hinata pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "How come it's only been a few decades?"
Shouldn't it be a thousand years?
Asuma glanced at Hinata in confusion, this is already a very high praise, okay?
On the high platform outside the third training ground, Tsunade and Shizune were so shocked that they were speechless.
Shizune doesn't have a clear understanding of Hinata's strength yet, but Tsunade is from the Senju clan and has met Senju Hashirama when she was a child. She has an accurate judgment on Hinata's strength.
"This is already..."
Although Tsunade has never seen Senju Hashirama take action with her own eyes, she can understand something about it based on the information in the family.
That kind of overwhelming power can form even against Jonin... Tsunade will never make a mistake in judgment. Hinata's strength has reached the level of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara!
"How old is Hinata this year...and how terrifying will her future be?"
Although Tsunade had already made such a judgment when Hinata could suppress the Kyuubi. But at that time, Tsunade believed that it would take at least ten years, or even decades, for Hinata to reach the level of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.
Especially when Tsunade learned that Hinata's physical skills had not improved for a long time due to her physical development, she even thought that Hinata still needed at least ten years to grow up.
Shizune heard Tsunade muttering to herself, turned around and asked curiously: "Tsunade-sama?"
"ah?"
Tsunade came to her senses and said in a deep voice: "Have Hinata come to my office immediately!"
Shizune immediately responded: "Yes!"
"correct!"
Suddenly thinking of something, Tsunade added: "Tell Asuma that the content of today's assessment is listed as the village's S-class secret and must not be leaked to the outside world."
"yes!"
Chapter 273 The ancient ruins discovered by Jiraiya
There were only Hinata and Tsunade in the Hokage's office, and even Shizune was kicked out by Tsunade.
Tsunade leaned on the table with both hands and leaned in front of Hinata. She looked at Hinata steadily without saying a word.
Hinata stood obediently with her hands on her sides, looking like a standard military stance.
Hinata and Tsunade were so close that they were almost touching each other. Hinata could still vaguely smell the scent of milk...
"Ahem!"
With a slight cough, Tsunade looked at Hinata and said in a deep voice: "Hinata, you..."
After considering her words, Tsunade said solemnly: "When did your strength... begin?"
Hinata had already made up a lie to deceive Tsunade. After hearing this, she said calmly: "Last year!"
"I know it was last year..."
Tsunade rolled her eyes and said calmly: "Although this is your own secret, as the Hokage of the village, I still need to know more about it."
"Especially for a ninja of your level... Hinata, do you understand?"
Hinata nodded and said seriously: "I completely understand!"
After thinking about it...
"Probably after returning from Sunagakure Village!"
"The lustful Sage told me before to use Sage Mode as a trump card. So the time I supported Kakashi-sensei in the Land of Water was the first time I used Sage Mode."
"Later... on the way back from Sunagakure Village, we encountered an attack by the Akatsuki organization, and I used Sage Mode again."
"but……"
After a pause, Hinata continued to fool around: "But the time to enter Sage Mode twice was greatly shortened."
"After my years of research..."
Tsunade glared at Hinata fiercely and couldn't help but complain: "Many years?"
Hinata's face turned red, but she quickly returned to normal, and she said seriously: "After many days of research, I found that in Sage Mode, natural energy will change my physique."
"At first I just wanted to speed up the time to enter Sage Mode, but later..."
Hinata said with some distress: "Now I can only maintain Sage Mode, I can't even change to normal state!"
