After a while, several instructors came and took their teams out one by one. Finally, a man with brown hair and a squarish face walked in wearing a Jonin Costume.
He looked at Naruto, Hinata, and Shino, saying.
"Team Eight, follow me!"
Naruto, Hinata, and Shino followed after him without much hesitation.
Soon, they left the academy compound and came to a separate place near a training ground.
Yamato stood in front of the tree and folded his arms. He looked at three of them and said.
"My name is Yamato. I am twenty-four years old. I am a Jonin of Konohagakure. I love training, my village, and Salmon."
"I dislike those who betray the village. My dream is to have a nice family one day."
Hearing that, Naruto raised his hand and gave him a thumbs-up.
"That's a nice dream, Yamato-Sensei! You should ask my mom to set you up on a Blind Date."
Yamato immediately turned red and quickly changed the topic.
"Now, what about you guys? Introduce yourself!"
Naruto raised his hand and said.
"I will go first. My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I love Hinata, food made by Hinata, and getting stronger. I hate those who thrive on the suffering of others."
"My goal keep my loved ones safe."
"Nice goal!"
Yamato nodded his head and respected Naruto's goal. Then, he turned his eyes towards Hinata.
Hinata was already blushing when she heard Naruto's introduction. Seeing her red face, Yamato couldn't help but feel envious of their young love.
After all, who wouldn't like a bond between a cheerful yet strong boy and a shy yet kindhearted girl?
He felt like he should really get a girlfriend; otherwise, he would be full every time he was with his team.
"My name is Hinata Hyuga. I love….Naruto..."
Her face turned red as she started smoking from her heart.
It was the first time she confessed her love, and it was through an introduction.
Naruto didn't disturb her for fear of fainting.
"I hate my clan's Bird Cage Seal. My goal is to one day change Hyuga Clan and ma…..ma….ma….marry Naruto-kun."
Thud!
Hinata did manage to speak those words, but because of the pressure, she fainted on the spot.
"Hinata!"
Naruto wasn't able to react in time, so he could only hold her after she fell.
"Wow!"
Yamato couldn't help but whistle.
On the other hand, Shino felt irritated. After all, he had been fed up with their lovey-dovey performance.
"Ahem! My name is Shino Aburame. I love wild grass salad and winter melon. I hate it when people ignore me. My goal is to continue the legacy of the Aburame Clan."
Shino introduced himself, but his voice was so low that Yamato had to use his advanced hearing skills just to hear him.
On the other hand, Naruto and Hinata were so busy looking at each other that they completely ignored his introduction.
"Alright, let's start the Team's Test!"
Yamato clapped his hands and spoke.
His words instantly brought Naruto and Hinata to their senses. Naruto felt something amiss and realized that they hadn't heard Shino's introduction.
But he quickly remembered how low Shino's voice was and how small his presence remained, so he decided not to talk about it.
"So, what will be the test, Yamato Sensei?"
Naruto excitedly asked.
He couldn't wait to test his power against a full-fledged Jonin.
He could easily defeat a Special Jonin with his arsenal of ninjutsu, but the same couldn't be said for a Jonin.
"Normally, I should test your teamwork. But considering your relationship, I think it is better to simply test your strength."
"I have heard about your strength. Let me test it first!"
"What about us?" Shino asked.
"Don't worry!"
Yamato moved his hands and went through different seals before releasing his Chakra.
[Wood Release- Wood Clone Jutsu]
Two wooden dummies slowly emerged from Yamato's body before turning into Yamato themselves.
"Here! Unlike normal clones, my Wood Clone can take a lot of attacks before being destroyed. So, you can go all out."
"Hinata, follow me!"
"Shino, follow me!"
Two of Yamato's clones spoke simultaneously before moving to the side.
Hinata with Yamato Clone 1 went to the left while Shino with Yamato Clone 2 went to the right.
Only the real Yamato and Naruto remained in the middle.
"So, should we start?" Naruto asked.
"Yes, of course!" Yamato replied.
Naruto took out three kunai and threw them towards Yamato.
'Paper Bombs?'
Yamato saw the paper bombs attached to the kunai and immediately jumped away.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three paper bombs exploded in mid-air, raising a large amount of dust and smoke.
On the other hand, Yamato rushed towards Naruto from the side. He took out his short sword and stabbed forward.
Naruto took out a special kunai with a three-pronged handle and blocked the stab.
Ding!
Sparks emerged from their collision.
'Amazing hand strength! No wonder he was called equal to Guy in physical strength.'
Yamato couldn't help but marvel at Naruto's physical strength.
Even though he was using his Chakra at its finest, he still couldn't overwhelm Naruto with his strength.
Instead, Naruto started pressing him with his own.
At this moment, Naruto raised his left hand and immediately did hand signs.
'What? One-handed seal?'
The moment Yamato saw this, he immediately backed away, and while in mid-air, he started going through hand signs.
Soon, a large amount of water started gathering on his right hand.
At this moment, Naruto shot a massive burst of fire towards him.
[Fire Release- Flame Bullet]
Unlike a normal fireball, this fire release jutsu was enhanced by the oil that was produced in his mouth.
He learned this technique from his father, who learned it from Jiraiya.
[Water Release- Tearing Torrent]
As the water spiraled on his palm, Yamato swung his hand, and the water tornado clashed against the raging fire.
Boom!
The clash between Fire and Water released a large amount of mist into the air.
At this moment, Yamato landed on the ground and instantly dashed forward. This was a normal mist, and with his sensory ability, he could easily sense Naruto's presence.
Following his presence, he appeared in front of Naruto and tried to stab him with his sword.
But Naruto had also inherited the sensing skills from his parents, which were the best in the world.
He literally saw the attack coming to his mind and blocked the attack with his kunai.
Once again, Naruto started overwhelming Yamato with his strength, but this time, Yamato had launched another wave of attack.
While not good at one-handed seal, he could prepare the seals beforehand and release the Jutsu afterward.
At this moment, his other hand turned into a sharp, pointed wooden spear and rushed directly towards Naruto.
'Damn! Yamato sensei is going all out.'
At this speed and range, Naruto couldn't dodge the attack.
So, he could only rely on other skills. At this moment, his right eye changed. From a blue pupil to a blue eye with wavy rings on it.
[Shinra Tensei]
At this moment, a powerful gravitation push emerged from his palm.
Although Yamato wanted to forcefully tear apart this gravitation force, he found himself unable to do so.
He gritted his teeth as the impact sent his body flying across the training ground while simultaneously blasting away the mist.
Thud!
Yamato fell to the ground, but the injuries weren't deadly. With his healing factor, he easily managed to recover.
But even so, the horror on his face remained.
"What was that?"
He asked as he rose to his feet.
"Rinnegan!"
Naruto wasn't going to hide these things from his future sensei. Although Yamato might not be able to teach him much, he was still his instructor.
Besides, he couldn't hide his Rinnegan for long.
"Eyes of the Sage? How do you have it? Does Hokage know?"
Yamato was so stunned that he couldn't even control his voice.
His clones also heard his voice, but they were busy with their battles.
More importantly, they were being fed information on the spot, so they didn't stop their test.
Wood Clones were capable of transmitting information with their mind within a certain distance.
"Yes, he does. But I shouldn't use this eye here. Let's continue our test!"
Hearing that, Yamato showed a helpless smile and asked.
"If you don't use that ability, how can I understand your true strength?"
Naruto shook his head and said.
"That was a mistake, Sensei. I am not supposed to use this eye or any of its abilities. Besides, I don't think I lack the strength to fight you without it."
Yamato slowly calmed down and speculated on Naruto's words.
"I understand."
He nodded his head and continued.
"You lack experience in fighting a Jonin. But you also possess the strength of a Jonin. Then, give it your all!"
Naruto chuckled and made four clones.
"Yamato-Sensei, you'd better be ready for this!"
Five of Naruto spoke at the same time and went through several hand signs, releasing five jutsu simultaneously.
