Naruto: Adopted Son of Minato

"Honestly, we were incredibly lucky today. If we hadn't found Ichiryu's balloon, we wouldn't have been able to get him so good."

"And during your fight with him, I realized you're very talented. I underestimated your strength. You're surprisingly powerful!" Hiroshi said, turning to Rai with a smile.

Rai nodded, smiling. "Where, where? Compared to you, Hiroshi-san, I'm still weak."

Hiroshi laughed, then whispered to Rai, "Alright, alright, keep working hard. I believe you'll surpass me someday!"

Rai simply smiled and continued walking.

"What just happened? Why did I suddenly hear Ichiryu's inner thoughts? Did I really develop telepathy?" Hiroshi wondered, completely puzzled by how he'd heard Ichiryu's thoughts.

Ding! Host independently unlocked skill: Telepathy.

Ding! Host's independent learning ability +1

Hiroshi was stunned by the system's message.

No way! This is crazy! Independent learning ability? That's a first! Do I really have that kind of talent? Hiroshi thought, completely amazed.

Wait, but I didn't do anything! How could I have learned telepathy? Did I unlock it unintentionally, or do I really have a natural talent for it?

"Whatever, I've gained a new skill, which is better than nothing!" Hiroshi decided, putting the thought aside and continuing forward. The competition was still ongoing.

Many teams had participated, each with four members. Now, only about five or six teams remained.

The number of eliminations had decreased, and the remaining teams were all quite strong.

As Hiroshi and his team moved through the forest, they heard several elimination announcements. The competition was fierce.

Everyone was aiming for the championship, especially Hiroshi. Winning the school championship meant early graduation.

"Based on the elimination announcements, there should be six teams left, meaning we still have over twenty opponents," Hiroshi whispered to his teammates.

"Wait, Hiroshi, while there are over twenty opponents, it doesn't mean they're all our enemies. They'll likely fight each other, reducing the number of opponents we face," Harumiko pointed out.

Hiroshi realized she was right. He nodded, smiling sheepishly. "Yeah, yeah, how could I forget that? My brain's not working right today!"
