Chapter 776

"Wow, is this the power of the Uchiha clan?"

"That fire technique was incredibly powerful!"

"Can a first-year from ninja school really have the strength of a Chunin?"

"Satania is so cool—look at her gaze, so awesome."

At that moment, an discordant voice rang out from the crowd: "Hmph, I don't think it's that impressive."

A boy wearing a blue-and-white striped cap stepped forward from the crowd.

"It's Ithari from Class One—his grandfather was a master bridge-builder, but he died at the hands of ninja. Since childhood, he vowed to become a ninja surpassing the Kage."

"I've heard of him too—they say his water technique talent is extraordinary."

Ithari, wearing a blue-and-white striped sailor cap, walked up to the tester, his face cold and expressionless, swiftly forming five hand seals.

"Water Release: Hard Water Blade."

"Chunin Level Seven!"

Everyone present, upon hearing the tester's announcement, was instantly drawn to it.

"He's four levels stronger than Uchiha Walnut! Ithari is just a commoner ninja—this is terrifying!"

"So the Uchiha clan really is nothing special?"

After releasing his technique, Ithari kept his face cold and unreadable, but inside he was ecstatic. He walked up to Satania and said: "Satania, you're nowhere near that level. If this is what the Uchiha clan's strength amounts to, heh."

Ithari, perhaps carried away by excitement, went too far with his mockery.

But Satania had indeed been outperformed and had no retort—she could only hold back tears, glaring fiercely at Ithari.

Meanwhile, Ithari's gaze drifted toward a little girl on the other side.

"Kawaii!"

Every time Ithari saw Connor, he couldn't help but silently admire her.

His earlier display and mockery were all meant to draw Connor's attention.
