Naruto: Inheriting the Legacy of a Person Who Traveled Through Time

Inside the Hokage's office, a crystal ball emitted a faint glow, revealing the scene of a battle in the training ground.

"Is this the child you're talking about?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi instinctively wanted to light his pipe, but seeing Asuma and Kurenai, his childhood friends, standing side by side, a relieved smile appeared on his lips, and he gave up the idea of ​​lighting it.

"Indeed, Tetsuya has a high talent in Fire Release and Genjutsu. Fortunately, it was discovered in time. With a little training, he can become a pillar of Konoha."

Upon hearing Kurenai Yuhi's assessment of Tetsuya, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes lit up with interest.

Let's take a look!

-----------------

In the adjacent training grounds, Naruto and Sasuke were undergoing tedious ninja training. Upon hearing Akamaru's familiar call, Naruto, who loved to join in the fun, stepped onto the tree trunk and skillfully walked to the top of the canopy, peering over the wall at the other side.

"It's Fang fighting!"

Hearing Naruto shouting in the tree, Sasuke first turned his head to the side, wanting to concentrate on continuing to practice the Uchiha clan's throwing techniques. However, seeing Naruto dancing around in the corner of his eye, he couldn't suppress his boyish nature and also went to the top of the tree.

It's him!

When Sasuke saw Tetsuya's face clearly, his expression changed slightly, and his original intention to just take a look and leave disappeared.

-----------------

Seeing his beloved dog desperately trying to pounce on Tetsuya, Kiba Inuzuka, clutching his shoulder, rolled over and immediately shouted.

"Akamaru, come back!"

Ninja dogs are the most capable and loyal partners of the Inuzuka clan. It can be said that most of the Inuzuka clan's secret techniques and tactics revolve around ninja dogs. However, Akamaru is still too young and can only participate in battle after taking a soldier's ration pill.

"Woof woof!"

Urged on by Akamaru, Kiba Inuzuka pulled his hand out of his ninja tool pouch and flicked his finger, sending the soldier pills flying right into Akamaru's open mouth.

After chewing just a few times, Akamaru underwent an astonishing transformation. His two rows of neat canine teeth grew noticeably longer, his size doubled, and his originally snow-white skin turned blood red, which is the origin of his name, Akamaru.

"Go, Akamaru!"

Kiba Inuzuka smiled contentedly, then lay sprawled on all fours. Akamaru leaped onto Kiba's head, barking loudly, his aura now comparable to that of most genin.

At this moment, the thick purple fog that had been obscuring the view had dissipated, and Tetsuya's figure appeared. He did not rush to interrupt the human-dog fusion.

"Beast Mimicry Ninja Art: Beastman Clone!"

Kiba Inuzuka's shouts caused his chakra to erupt, and a thick white mist spread out, obscuring everyone's vision.

When the white mist dissipated, the chakra of the human and the ninja dog were completely connected. Akamaru, who was lying on Kiba Inuzuka's body, had completed his transformation. He became exactly the same as Kiba Inuzuka in both appearance and aura, except that his fingernails and toenails were noticeably sharper and more prominent, with slight differences in the details.

"The art of four legs!"

The two figures suddenly separated and pounced on Cheye from the left and right sides at the same time. Their steps and speeds were almost identical, enough to make opponents of the same level unable to defend themselves and become flustered under the attack.

Swish swish!

Despite being attacked from both sides, Tetsuya remained incredibly calm, dodging left and right within a small space. Kiba Inuzuka and Akamaru continued to swing their beast claws, but Tetsuya always just brushed past them, as if all their attack trajectories had been anticipated.

Are you planning to stall for time by dodging and wait for the effects of the soldier's ration pills to wear off?

Kiba Inuzuka's repeated attacks, all of which were in vain, led him to believe that he had guessed Tetsuya's intentions.

Since that's the case, then take my final blow!

"Beastman Body Technique Secret: Fang Through Fang!"

Without needing to communicate, the man and the dog were of one mind, and their speed suddenly increased dramatically. When they were about a zhang away from Tetsuya, their bodies spun at high speed, turning into two tornadoes that shot out from the left and right, completely blocking all of Tetsuya's space to dodge.

This is one of the Inuzuka clan's most sophisticated tactics. If you don't want to take this Fang Over Fang attack head-on, the only way is to be forced to jump high into the air. If you lose the speed brought by the chakra burst, how will you dodge the next series of attacks?

To the surprise of all the spectators, Tetsuya did not continue to dodge this time, despite the attack being powerful enough to severely injure a genin. Instead, he raised his arms and spread his fingers to meet the incoming tornado, as if he wanted to take the attack head-on with his bare body.

Is he crazy?

Two high-speed tornadoes passed each other, piercing Tetsuya's body directly, but not a drop of blood was sprayed out. Instead, they turned into a cloud of white mist that enveloped Kiba Inuzuka and Akamaru.

"It's a clone technique! He actually used a clone technique to hold off two genin for so long?"

Sasuke Uchiha, who was watching the battle from the treetop, had a slight change in expression.

As classmates in the same ninja academy, Uchiha Sasuke and Inuzuka Kiba had clashed multiple times. In terms of taijutsu alone, Uchiha Sasuke was only slightly better. If the roles were reversed, Uchiha Sasuke was not confident that he could avoid the combined attack of Inuzuka Kiba and Akamaru with just his clones.

Most importantly, as an observer, Sasuke Uchiha never realized when Tetsuya used the Shadow Clone Technique to replace his original body.

"When he emerged from the purple smoke created by his teeth, he was already using the clone technique."

Using the senses of the insects inside his body, Shino was the first bystander to notice this, but since it was a fair spar, he naturally wouldn't remind Kiba Inuzuka.

When the white smoke dissipated, Kiba Inuzuka and Akamaru were already fast asleep on the ground. The white mist rose up, and Akamaru deactivated his transformation and returned to his original form.

In fact, even without using the Sharingan's power, Tetsuya could still easily control Kiba Inuzuka or Akamaru. However, it's not hard to tell from the fact that the two of them were never too far apart when they launched their attacks that Kiba Inuzuka was on guard. No matter who was caught in the genjutsu, his partner would immediately input chakra to break the genjutsu. That's why Tetsuya deliberately showed weakness and chose to detonate the genjutsu clone at the right moment, successfully killing two birds with one stone and completing the control.

"He really knows how to use the illusion clone technique I taught him in creative ways."

Inside the Hokage's office, Kurenai Yuhi's eyes revealed admiration; she was very satisfied with Tetsuya's talent in genjutsu.

Judging from his performance in battle, it is not difficult to tell that Tetsuya's illusions are not simply copied; each illusion has been modified to better suit Tetsuya's own fighting style.

"Hong, you have a good eye. You've discovered a gem in the rough. With a little polishing, his future achievements will be no less than yours. I will carefully consider your suggestion."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, his words also carrying approval.

In fact, Hiruzen Sarutobi's evaluation was already quite high. After all, Konoha has nearly 20,000 ninjas, and even if you include the special Jonin, there are only a little over 100 Jonin at most, each of whom is a valuable fighting force for Konoha.

Tetsuya was originally just a dispensable cannon fodder genin, but now he has the potential to be promoted to jonin, and many things need to be re-evaluated.

"The old man is gone..."

Asuma waved his hand and left the office with Kurenai Yuhi.

"These are the hopes for Konoha's future..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at the scene reflected in the crystal ball, especially lingering on Naruto for a second. Just as he was about to stop channeling chakra, he saw Sasuke Uchiha leap out and land in front of Tetsuya.

"How about I challenge you to a match next time?"

Inside the training ground, Uchiha Sasuke slightly raised his head, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.
