In the Hokage's office, it was completely silent.
It wasn't like there wasn't someone there, quite the contrary, there were eight jonin and the Third Hokage present, however, they couldn't utter a single word after what they saw in the Third Hokage's crystal ball.
Ten minutes before...
When the time stipulated by Tsunade for them to move, Nawaki and the girls left.
"Byakugans!"
In Hikari's eyes, the veins and arteries around her eyes become visible.
"There's a trap up ahead," Hikari warned.
"Hikari, everyone, you can go full power, there's no need to hide strength now." Nawaki said, "The Hokage, as well as other Jonin ninjas, must now be seeing us through the Hokage's crystal ball and sizing us up, we need to show that we are worthy of being the special team, Team 0!"
"Yes!" The girls squealed wittily.
Hikari was the first to move, as she took a few steps, several kunai and ninja stars headed towards her.
"Ninja Art: Eight Trigrams Revolving Palms of Heaven!"
Shaped like a round dome, when Hikari spun, it was as if her chakra turned blue, creating a spin that nullified all the traps' attacks.
"Well done, Hikari," Mikoto spoke as he approached her.
On the floor, there was the mark of her rotation.
"Hehe, I learned this recently thanks to Nawaki's advice." Hikari scratched her head in embarrassment.
It was the first time she had put this ninja art into practice, yet she had only used it a few times while training with Nawaki and had finally perfected it enough to put it into practice.
"That was really cool, Hikari~" Kushina carelessly approached from the side and accidentally triggered a trap.
From the sky, a large tree starts to fall.
"Kushina, watch out!" Mikoto and Hikari yelled in unison.
From the corner of Nawaki's eyes, purple lightning flashed and he was enveloped in crackling purple lightning. In moments, he was at Kushina's side and pulled her by the waist, soon moving.
*Boom!*
The big tree fell with a mighty impact.
It could even seriously injure Kushina if it was hit.
'Sis, you're going too hard with the traps...' Nawaki thought as he looked back towards the tree, and saw that it was now falling towards them.
Nawaki pulled Kushina a little to the side, dodging the falling tree.
"I am safe dattebane!" Kushina places one of her hands on her chest and sighs. Turning towards Nawaki, looking into his face, she says, "Thank you Nawaki, you saved me."
"Uh, no need to thank us, we are a team and we should help each other," Nawaki replied with a simple smile.
Kushina didn't know why, but she ended up blushing when she saw Nawaki's smile.
They continued to run with Hikari saying where there were traps.
There could be hidden traps like the one Kushina ended up triggering, so she was acting even more cautious.
Strangely, she felt very overwhelmed when using the Byakugan, this could be said to be thanks to the meat she consumed at Nawaki's house or at school when Nawaki brought Bentō to her.
"Nawaki, are we going to use that ninja art?" Mikoto said suddenly, stopping to move.
"The one, you mean the one I taught you about the water style?" Nawaki asked.
"Yes, that one." Mikoto nodded, "If we use this, it will be easier to break all the traps and we will be able to finish this test faster."
"Water Style: Inundation!"
Together, Nawaki and Mikoto did the hand seal, ending with the dog's hand seal with their left hand, and from their mouth, they started to release a lot of water.
Finishing, Nawaki was the first to jump.
"Jump!" With Nawaki's warning, the girls jumped, and soon the place was submissive to the water.
Using, *Mizu no Kinobiri* (Water Walking) When they fell back into the water now, at their feet, there was blue chakra that made them able to stand on top of the water without sinking.
The water was still choppy from being newly created, creating small ripples and they moved along with the wave.
However, thanks to that, they no longer had to worry about the existence of traps.
Both Mikoto and Hikari watched and were unable to find any traps and soon found Tsunade's whereabouts.
"Let's go." Nawaki starts running in the water.
The girls followed close behind him.
When they got very close, Tsunade threw some kunai that was easily defended by Nawaki who held the red Tang sword.
When he spun the sword by placing his finger on the sword ring, it created a powerful weathervane, "Wind Release: Tornado!"
Tsunade did a few hand seals, then she hit the water: "Water Release: Water Barrier!"
Three water barrier columns were created in front of her, two were destroyed, but the third was able to stop Nawaki's attack.
Nawaki stopped 10 meters away from Tsunade, and the girls got into formation, with Mikoto on the left side and Hikari on the right while Kushina stayed behind him.
"So far, the four of you have done a good job, however... To be able to get the flag behind me, you're going to have to try a little harder." Tsunade said.
"I know that." Nawaki replied, "But, we will be the winners, Sis~!"
"Oh? Hahaha, so do your best." Tsunade gets serious.
Meanwhile, in the Hokage's office...
"What the hell! Are they really just genins who just got out of ninja school?"
The one who screamed in astonishment was Jiraiya.
With Jiraiya's breaking of the silence, the others began to breathe again.
"Unbelievable..." A jonin muttered in disbelief.
"Very interesting... No wonder Tsunade put so much emphasis on creating a special team with these four genin, they are exceptional." With a snake's tongue, Orochimaru licked his lips.
"See, isn't that the Adamantine Sealing Chains coming out of the little Uzumaki girl's back?"
"My God, she's what, 12 years old? At that age, she has already managed to unleash A-Rank ninjutsu. And this is not just any A-Rank Ninjutsu…."
Many's mouths were in an O shape. It was hard to believe the sight of them, rubbing their eyes, they looked again, but it was shown that it was real, the little girl Kushina Uzumaki was capable of using Adamantine Sealing Chains.
"No wonder she was chosen to be the Nine-Tails' next jinchūriki..." Another muttered.
'Myth… What the hell are you hiding from me until now? Why didn't you tell me that little Uzumaki girl could already use Adamantine Sealing Chains?' The Third Hokage squeezed the space between his eyebrows tightly as he reached for his pipe with his other free hand.
The talent each of them displayed was enough to get them promoted to at least Chūnin Rank.
Aside from Nawaki, the Third Hokage felt that this little boy had yet to demonstrate his full power, although what he showed was enough to be classified in Jonin Rank.
"By the way, did you see the Senju boy use purple lightning and move even faster than the jonin? What the hell was that anyway?"
An unanswered question, after all, nobody there in that room knew about it.
"Hard to believe, but I think he fused the element of lightning with wind and that was the result." Some speculated.
