In Konoha, at the start, Hinata was given the Tenseigan.

Some ninjas who knew about summoning beasts explained.

Normally, ninjas can only summon ordinary animals, such as birds, cats, and dogs.

Perform some simple reconnaissance tasks.

The stronger ones can summon some ninja beasts that can use some simple ninjutsu.

More famous are the summoning beasts that can be summoned, which are exceptionally strong and large, and can also use powerful ninjutsu.

These summoned beasts can even rival the tailed beasts of War Machine in the short term.

Ninjas who possess such powerful summoning beasts are all renowned figures in the ninja world.

For example, the three legendary Sannin of Konoha can summon powerful summoning beasts, each with its own unique characteristics.

It's surprising that even the candidates in the Chunin Exams can do this now.

"Akamaru! Use the Tooth-Opening Technique with me!"

Just as everyone's attention was focused on the giant beast in the arena.

Kiba Inuzuka, who had been knocked away several times, stood up again.

This time, together with Akamaru, they used their current signature move.

Teeth to teeth!

Two identical figures began to spin rapidly, quickly creating two horizontal tornadoes.

At the same time, it strangled Tyrannomon.

This move immediately caught the audience's attention, prompting them to secretly cheer.

"Greymon, use Great Horn!"

Xia Mu remained calm and composed as he gave instructions.

The stratum corneum of the head hardened, and the huge head, as if wearing a helmet, slammed out.

The horn, even more ferocious than a bull's horn, suddenly tore through two tornadoes that attacked from the sky.

Kiba Inuzuka and Akamaru were knocked away again.

Only then did everyone realize that Xia Mu had never made a move; he had simply sent his summoned beast to resolve the battle.

"The gap is just too big."

Everyone couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Teeth, just admit defeat."

"Don't continue like this."

Outside the arena, her older sister, Inuzuka Hana, called out anxiously.

If they can't even break through the opponent's defenses, the gap in skill is so huge, there's no way they can win.

It's better to admit defeat sooner rather than later and suffer less physical pain.

Lying on the ground, Kiba Inuzuka, covered in wounds, was momentarily lost.

But Akamaru crawled forward.

Trembling, he stood firmly in front of Fang, facing the oppressive aura of Tyrannomon.

.... . . .

"When everyone doubts you, you still firmly believe that you can do it."

"Have faith that your partner can do it."

"You have courage and resilience, but what you've always lacked is genuine trust in your partners."

"You've always thought Akamaru hasn't grown up yet, and you've been very protective of him. But that might actually be hindering his growth."

"Perhaps you can try to trust your partner and let Akamaru protect you this once."

Natsuki's voice, like heavenly music, entered Kiba Inuzuka's ears.

In an instant, he suddenly realized the truth.

Yes, Akamaru is still young.

In every battle, I'd rather be at the forefront myself than let it run ahead and get hurt.

So that's why I couldn't get Akamaru to evolve properly for so long.

Despite successfully facilitating Akamaru's plan in the Land of Waves, she was too impatient and reluctant to let Akamaru break free from his dependence on her.

That's what caused him to mistakenly evolve into a zombie hellhound.

"Akamaru!"

"I understand."

"It turns out that I've been the one hindering your growth all along."

Kiba Inuzuka looked at the puppy blocking his way, tears streaming down his face: "Trusting your comrades is the true power of friendship."

"Akamaru, my good friend, I hope you will guide me for the rest of my life."

Kiba Inuzuka slowly crawled to Akamaru's side, as if reintroducing himself, and took its little paw in his hand.

"Wang Wang!"

"Ouch!!!"

Akamaru happily responded to Kiba's feelings.

A loud bark gradually turned into a wolf howl.

Sensing his comrade's fighting spirit, Kiba Inuzuka was filled with power, even suppressing his pain.

A smile unconsciously crept onto his lips, and he said naturally:

"Akamaru, evolve!"

The sound wasn't loud, but it carried throughout the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

After many years, a pillar of light reaching the sky shone brightly once again.

It lit up from the Chunin Exams arena.

Straight to the heavens... River.

132: The Third Hokage: How about some of our Will of Fire?

While everyone was watching the match, the Third Hokage in the main seat and Orochimaru, who was playing the Fourth Kazekage, were also busy.

"It's been a long time since I've seen such an amazing genius. Konoha is truly a blessed land that produces many talented people."

"Third Hokage, won't you introduce this ninja to me?"

Orochimaru, wearing a straw hat and a robe bearing the inscription "Fourth Kazekage," asked.

Xia Mu gave him a big surprise when they were in the Death Forest.

At such a young age, to be able to exchange several blows with him clearly meant he wasn't using his full strength. His power is unfathomable; even someone as experienced as him, who has traversed the ninja world for many years, cannot fathom it.

"Hehehe, are you talking about Xia Mu, the one who summoned the giant beast? He's a good kid with the Will of Fire."

"He showed his talent early on at the Ninja Academy and won the top spot."

"However, there are several newcomers with outstanding talent like him."

"This is enough to show that the '413' Fire Will Education program, which I have painstakingly led over the years, has achieved remarkable results."

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, stroked his beard and smiled.

Xia Mu made a brilliant start, greatly enhancing his prestige in front of the Fourth Kazekage of the alliance and many daimyo.

Although he couldn't find out the reason why, in recent years, one after another, some of the new generation have awakened various powerful and unprecedented forces.

But since it only appeared in Konoha Village, perhaps it really is thanks to his own book, "The Will of Fire: Konoha Ninja Chronicles." (Mentioned at the end of Chapter 27.)

Otherwise, why don't they exist in other villages?

Thinking of other ninja villages, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly had a childlike thought and jokingly said, "How about we have some of our Will of Fire?"

"I'll give your village some money for free; it represents the culmination of my life's work."

"Perhaps it can help your Sunagakure village produce a few more geniuses."

Of course, if you really want it, then sponsor some of the censored version.

It would be good to spread our Will of Fire throughout the entire ninja world.

"Hehehe, Lord Hokage is overthinking it."

"Our Sunagakure village is also full of talented people. It is still unknown who will win the Chunin Exams."

The Fourth Kazekage scoffed and quickly refused.

This old guy is almost in his grave, yet he still hasn't forgotten to promote his Will of Fire. Does he want to give Sunagakure a mental control over the village as well?

Unfortunately, the real Fourth Kazekage died long ago.
