A golden light that only Yuma could see rippled through the air.
The golden glow of the ability was sucked out of Namikaze Minato's body by the system, and the extracted ability appeared in his mind.
[Son of Time and Space (Gold)]:
Proof of your unparalleled mastery over time and space. You are a unique descendant of temporal and spatial abilities!
Spatial Perception : Heightened to an extraordinary level.
Reflex Nerves : Significantly strengthened.
It was now clear why the Flying Thunder God Technique created by the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama had flourished in Minato's hands.
Senju Tobirama could only teleport himself, but Minato had taken the technique to another level - expanding its style and application.
He turned it into an art no less impressive than the techniques used by the Ōtsutsuki clan.
The reason for this evolution was thought to be Namikaze Minato's immense natural ability to manipulate time and space.
However, Yuma did not dwell on this explanation.
He immediately let go of Minato's hand, turned around, and joined his teammates waiting nearby.
Minato Namikaze smiled as he watched the group and took out three bells from his ninja pouch.
'I will use these bells to test you, only those who pass the test will become full-fledged ninjas,' she announced.
Seeing this familiar scene, Yuma chuckled inwardly.
The classic bell test - a tradition passed down through the lineage of the Hokage.
Already knowing the true purpose of this test, Yuma confidently stepped forward.
'Minato-sensei, perhaps you could explain the rules in detail so we can develop a proper strategy?'
He asked this on purpose because the real purpose of the test was teamwork. By encouraging Minato to explain the rules, he would give his team the opportunity to devise a unified plan and set them on the path to success from the start.
Minato Namikaze, a brilliant strategist himself, immediately understood Yuma's intentions. His admiration for the young Uchiha grew.
This boy is clever. He has already grasped the essence of this exercise.
Minato accepted this and explained the test as follows:
'The goal is to get these bells back from me. However, one of you will be eliminated in the end.'
After Minato finished, Yuma gathered his teammates (Kakashi, Rin and Obito) in a corner to discuss their plans.
Team Strategy Discussion
'Everyone should be clear about this: we need to work together to get those bells,' Yuma began, his voice confident but calm. 'As for Minato-sensei's statement that one of us will be eliminated... it's a bluff.'
Kakashi and Rin nodded in understanding, their expressions calm and focused.
Yuma couldn't help but be impressed. Kakashi's experience was evident, and Rin, although polite, showed a clear understanding of the underlying purpose of the test.
Obito, however, looked puzzled.
'Wait... Minato-sensei was lying about being eliminated?' he asked, scratching his head.
Yuma sighed, suppressing a chuckle.
'Yes, Obito. Don't worry about it. Just follow our plan.'
'Tch! You talk as if I'm useless,'
grumbled Obito.
'No one said that,' Yuma assured him. 'We'll need your strength too.'
Encouraged, Obito nodded, his spirits lifted.
The Bell Test Begins
Yuma stood in front of Minato, full of confidence.
'Minato-sensei, we're ready. Let's begin.'
Minato nodded, a slight smile on his lips.
'Very well. The way you've positioned yourself, it looks like you've taken the lead.'
'Yes, Sensei!' replied Yuma.
As chakra flowed into his eyes, Yuma activated his Sharingan, his double tomoe spinning ominously.
He unleashed a powerful jutsu with quick hand seals:
[Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique]
A huge fireball roared towards Minato, accompanied by scorching heat waves.
At the same time, his teammates sprang into action.
The training area was soon consumed by a storm of taijutsu, ninjutsu and strategy.
Obito watched in amazement, his mouth agape.
'This... this is insane! Yuma is moving on a whole new level!' he muttered, his heart pounding.
His thoughts turned to Yuma's Sharingan.
'Is it because of this Sharingan? If mine had woken up, would I be as strong as him?'
'Obito, focus!' Rin's voice interrupted his thoughts. She threw shuriken towards Minato while watching Obito closely.
'Yuma-kun is doing his best to keep Sensei busy. Let's do our part!'
'Got it!' replied Obito, resolutely forming hand seals.
Kakashi's Point of View
Watching Yuma's actions, Kakashi was equally shocked.
What happened...? How did Yuma become so powerful?
The last time they worked together, Yuma was a Genin on his way to becoming a Chūnin. Now his movements rivaled those of an experienced ninja.
Is this all because of Sharingan?
Despite his confusion, Kakashi's battle instincts kicked in. He activated [Lightning Style: Body Activation], which significantly increased his speed when joining Yuma in the attack.
Minato's Observations
Minato maintained a calm demeanour, effortlessly dodging their attacks. However, he was secretly surprised.
This kid's reflexes are on par with mine.
He could sense Yuma's increased reaction speed, a level rarely seen in a Genin.
These reflexes, combined with his ninjutsu of time and space, could make him a worthy successor to my Flying Thunder God technique.
Minato couldn't help but smile despite the intense struggle.
It seems this Uchiha boy has great potential. Let's see how far he can go.
The battle continued with Minato deftly countering each move, but the determination of his students only grew. Their teamwork, built with trust and strategy, would be tested to its limits.
