Hidden Emperor Of The Naruto World

Standing in the middle of the training ground, Minato was glad that he decided to come by himself. Thanks to the month's training he has done, his chakra reserves have gone up to that of a low chunin, and he now can endure the backlash of 4 shadow clones. It means that each of them has the power of a barely decent genin. And there is a high chance to be touched by Tsume with that level of power. With her nails like claws, his clone will have gone 'puff', and all the village will know that he mastered a jutsu that he should have no way to.

'Well, if the shadow clones were more durable they could have won pretty easily, she is still pretty young and weak. But it can be a chance for me, the more I try to hide, the more suspicious I will be. After all, the darkness needs its lights, and the more brightly the light shines, the deeper the darkness is concealed. If I appear as a genius, all the feats that I will achieve will be attributed to the label 'genius'. With it, I could have far more freedom, and I could have public access to things that I will use but should not have known '

"Are you two ready?" The 2 of us performed the confrontation seal, then "Begin!" Shouted Amano-sensei"

As soon as she heard the teacher finished, Tsume crosses the distance between her and Minato and sweep at him with her claw-like hand.

Minato just sidestepped. He was already far more powerful than her, but with his sixth-sense that he named 'Hyper intuition', it became a complete overkill. All things could be perceived by him, danger, the flaws in her stance than he can take advantage of, her weak points...

He then began to dodge and weave through Tsume attacks, not striking back, content on just avoid for the time being.

Meanwhile, Tsume was a mix of angry and awed. Angry because he didn't take her seriously, and awed because she came full power but he was dodging without breaking a sweat! You must know that orphans were different than clan members. Since she was 4, she was trained by her family in the Inuzuka Taijutsu style, but he must have attained such a high level on his own. 'A pure genius'

Stopping herself, she asked Amato-sensei if it was okay for her to battle with Kuromaru.

"If Minato is ok with it there is no problem" Minato nodded at that, and the battle resumed.

Unfortunately, even the presence of Kuromaru didn't change a thing, Minato seemed to evade her with the same ease as before. Not willing to be beaten like that, Tsume activates her ace in the hole.

Standing on all fours, with Kuromaru near her, she executes her clan Taijutsu technique "Gatsuga(Wolf Bite)!" She launched herself, rotating at high speed, making her look like a mini tourbillon. Kuromaru did the same, unfortunately, no Jutsu is authorized so she couldn't have him transform into her, and with his size, his gatsuga was even smaller.

Minato finally decides to act. When Tsume came just in front of him, his hyper intuition indicated him the path to break her technique, which he was unable to do with just his eyes. After all, if it was that easy, the Inuzuka clan will not be this renowned.

Lashing out with his arm, he took hold of her right arm, and with a jerk, spun her in the other sense that she was rotating, and let her go while sidestepping. This sudden motion made her completely lose control of her body, and she collided with her ninken, sending the two of them tumbling down out of the circle.

"Ooooh!" Cheers reverberated in the training grounds, with all the students impressed by this match, and even more with the cool way that Minato finished it. Shouts of "Minato marry me!" "Minato I want your baby!" were mixed in the ruckus, making the mentioned one smile wryly. 'Fangirls... before today they just look at me because I was more handsome than other guys of the class, but when I show a bit of talent they all seemed to be in heat. Poor future clones of mine, I give you my condolences for all the suffering that you will have to endure, may the Gods protect your ears from their screeching.'

"Winner, Namikaze Minato!" Even Amato sensei was in high spirits, a genius appeared in his class! Maybe he will even get a small promotion. And even if not, in the future if Minato becomes a good ninja, he could brag that it was him that taught him.

Giving a hand to Tsume and helping her up, Minato smiled "Good work, you were pretty good"

Scratching her head, Tsume mumbled for a bit before exclaiming "Thanks, you're strong but I will train harder and beat you" She even thundered her c.h.e.s.t with her small fist to emphasize her declaration.

"Hee, good luck with that" joked Minato good naturally. Tsume was not offended, after all even if she is prideful, she knows that there is a big gap between them and she will have to work extra hard to close it.

At the same time, at the center of the village, in the highest office of the Hokage Tower, Hiruzen Sarutobi was watching the scene in his crystal ball contently.

"A good seedling indeed, he has reached the level of a high genin on his own. If he continues this way, maybe he will be the one to take my hat. Orochimaru could be the one to succeed me but he worries me, he seems too invested in his research... Well I will have Jiraya keeping an eye on the kid, I would have preferred to have him develop his potential peacefully, unfortunately, there is no time"

Reaching in his drawer, he retrieved his pipe, and lightning it up with a small katon(fire style) jutsu. Taking a deep puff, he breathed out the smoke and looked on the village through the window.

"The world begins to be turbulent, a war is on the horizon. And I have a bad omen, that something that will change the shinobi world will take place. The only thing I can do is to protect Konoha, sigh... the goodwill that Hashirama-sensei showed did nothing to bring peace to the elementals nations unfortunately."

Meanwhile, in an underground facility near Konoha, Danzo Shimura was listening to the report of his subordinate. After dismissing him, he began to mule over the information.

"Minato Namikaze, a genius huh. I would have loved to have him in my roots, unfortunately, I'm sure Hiruzen will keep an eye on him too. I will have to observe him and see if there is a way to take him under me. I need seeds like him, only then could the roots grow and pierce through the earth to attain the light. The Hokage position is rightfully mine, not for the soft Hiruzen."

A fierce look appeared in his eyes when speaking of the Hokage position, he still has not digested the fact that Hiruzen was chosen by Tobirama-sensei and not him, only because he hesitated a second too much.
