"Such terrifying flames!" Naruto and Sakura also looked up with wide eyes at the raging fire burning in the sky, completely stunned.
Absurd.
Very absurd.
It was the first time Team 7 had ever seen someone use such an absurdly large Fire Release.
No wonder Renji-sensei didn't do much during their earlier test. If he had casually used Fire Release, he could have incinerated all of Team 7.
Besides, was this really the power of a C-rank Fire Release?
Sakura's pretty face flushed from the heat of the flames.
She swallowed secretly and murmured, "If I remember correctly, the Great Fireball is a C-rank Fire Release, right? But Renji-sensei... the power of your Great Fireball can even rival the legendary S-rank."
She had never seen an S-rank technique before, but the massive fire burning in the sky clearly looked far more powerful than B-rank and A-rank techniques.
After the flames gradually dissipated, the members of Team 7 slowly lowered their gazes.
"Damn it, you showed off again, but... but it was really cool!" Naruto said excitedly, waving both hands wildly.
"If Sasuke's Great Fireball is a small stone, then Renji-sensei's is a meteor!"
Although it sounded exaggerated, it was the truth.
If Sasuke's Great Fireball was compared to a small stone...
Then Hyuga Renji's Great Fireball was a meteor capable of destruction.
The difference was that huge.
"Renji-sensei, Renji-sensei, can you teach me the Great Fireball? I also want to use such an amazing Fire Release!" Naruto's face was full of anticipation as he imagined a very satisfying scene.
If he could learn such an amazing technique, then later, when Sasuke was easily defeated by enemies and Sakura-chan was in danger...
He would make a cool entrance and then use a Great Fireball to defeat the enemy.
Perfect.
It already felt amazing just thinking about it.
Great Fireball low-end?
Bullshit.
Great Fireball is awesome.
Everyone present fell silent.
Naruto had just mocked the Great Fireball as the lowest-end trash Fire Release.
But after seeing Renji-sensei use it, his attitude immediately changed, and now he was eager to learn it.
What kind of face-changing skill was this?
"Idiot," Sasuke said coldly, already guessing what Naruto was thinking.
"Stinky brat, you just said the Great Fireball was trash," Hyuga Renji said speechlessly. This Nine-Tails brat's attitude changed faster than a woman's.
He was completely a little brat.
"Renji-sensei, please tell me, you and Sasuke both used the Great Fireball, so why is your power so much greater than Sasuke's?" Sakura asked in confusion.
Even though she was a top student, she couldn't understand the difference.
They both used the same technique.
So why was Renji-sensei's version so powerful?
"Flat-chested little brat, you asked a very good question," Hyuga Renji praised her, then glanced disdainfully at Naruto and Sasuke. "Much better than these two idiots."
"Tch," Sasuke clicked his tongue.
Sakura's face flushed slightly as she retorted angrily, "Who are you calling flat-chested? I'll develop fiercely in the future!"
"Is that so? I'll look forward to it," Hyuga Renji said while staring at Sakura's chest for two seconds before sighing. "Sigh, what a pity."
Sakura clenched her fists and glared at Renji in shame and anger.
I'll endure.
Hyuga Renji explained, "In short, techniques don't have fixed power. The strength depends entirely on the individual, or more precisely, on the amount of chakra and the degree of chakra utilization.
Once you can precisely control chakra, you can simplify hand signs or even stop using them entirely. Of course, activating regular ninjutsu without hand signs is very difficult. Among living ninja, only I can do it."
Hyuga Renji wasn't boasting.
Among living ninja, he was indeed the only one capable of using all regular ninjutsu without hand signs.
Bloodline Limits were an exception.
"Controlling chakra..." Sakura frowned slightly. She had never heard the term controlling chakra when she was at the Ninja Academy.
Back then, they were only taught how to use chakra.
Hyuga Renji asked, "Any more questions?"
Naruto sat kneeling on the ground like a well-behaved student, excitedly raising his hand and shouting, "Me, me, me! Can I learn Fire Release?"
Hyuga Renji waved his hand and said, "No chance. Your chakra nature is wind, so learning Fire Release wouldn't be very useful.
Besides, there's no need to insist on flashy techniques. Just learn something that matches your attribute and master it completely."
Sasuke asked curiously, "Renji, what's your attribute?"
"Good children should respect the elderly and cherish the young. Please add Teacher to my name. Or do you have a masochistic tendency and enjoy being severely disciplined by me?"
Hyuga Renji said calmly as he slowly raised his hand, ready to slap him.
It was fine to like showing off, but at least have some manners.
He, Hyuga Renji, was a ninja who respected the elderly and cherished the young.
Sasuke took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger, and asked through gritted teeth, "Renji-sensei, please tell me, what is your attribute as a ninja?"
"Attribute, huh? I possess... or rather, I've fused them. I'm a ninja who has fused all seven elemental nature transformations," Hyuga Renji said with a faint smile filled with confidence.
Fusion and possession were two different concepts.
The unique power formed after fusing all chakra nature transformations was called Bloodline Mesh.
Of course.
After Hyuga Renji awakened his Tenseigan, he automatically possessed all chakra nature transformations.
Sakura clasped her hands in front of her chest, her face full of admiration. "All attributes? Renji-sensei is amazing!"
Although Renji-sensei was frivolous, arrogant, and liked to fool around, he had a handsome face, a great physique, and overwhelming strength.
He was simply the perfect boyfriend.
Sakura secretly glanced at Sasuke again.
But Sasuke was also very handsome.
What should she do? It was so hard to choose.
"Is fusing all nature transformations really that impressive?" Naruto folded his arms and frowned in confusion.
He couldn't understand what chakra attributes, nature transformations, or fusion meant at all.
It sounded impressive.
But he had no real concept of it.
"It's super impressive," Hyuga Renji drawled lazily.
"For example, that old dog, the Third Hokage. He's also a ninja proficient in all attributes, but he can't fuse all attribute nature transformations."
Hyuga Renji continued, "What I mean is, what the Third Hokage can't do, I can do easily. Is that easy to understand?"
"Something Grandpa Third can't do, Renji-sensei can do easily?" Naruto stared in disbelief.
In his eyes, the Third Hokage was the strongest and greatest ninja in the entire village.
Could Renji-sensei be even stronger than Grandpa Third? How was that possible?
Sasuke asked coldly, "Is the Third Hokage very powerful?"
In his heart, he was silently complaining.
Renji-sensei had just lectured him about respecting elders and being polite.
And Renji himself had just called the Third Hokage an old dog.
Was this what respecting elders meant?
"How should I put it? He must have been extremely amazing when he was young. After all, he was the strongest ninja of his time," Hyuga Renji said honestly.
The Third Hokage truly had been the strongest ninja in the entire ninja world during his youth.
He represented the peak that a commoner ninja without a Bloodline Limit could reach.
Of course.
That so-called strongest title only applied to commoner ninja.
Now though...
The Third Hokage was almost dying of old age, and his overall strength barely reached the weak Kage level.
Sasuke didn't hesitate and asked directly, "Who is stronger, you or the Third Hokage?"
He wanted to know exactly how strong Hyuga Renji really was.
