“But I am just a Chunin,” Nagasawa replied subconsciously.

Perhaps it was because he just got a newfound strength, or because of his personality, he still subconsciously tried to refuse.

For the information, when Nagasawa attended the Ninja Academy, he made sure to have average grades in all subjects.

He believed that too good or too bad would attract attention. Only an average joe would be unnoticed.

He did the same after graduation. In the first four years, he refused the recommendation for the Chunin Exam with insufficient strength as his reason. After failing three times, he then “successfully” advanced to Chunin.

Therefore, in most people’s eyes, Nagasawa had always been an average Shinobi with good looks but no talent.

“Although you’re just a Chunin, I know that your strength is far more than that.” Minato smiled and shook his head, “If even you, Nagasawa, are considered weak, then how many people in the Shinobi World can be considered capable?”

He did not know how strong Nagasawa was because Nagasawa was always hiding his true strength. Even he did not dare to say that he knew everything about Nagasawa.

However, from what Nagasawa showed him, Minato believed that he was at least as strong as a Jonin.

Since Nagasawa had a habit of hiding mostly everything, perhaps his true strength was also one of them.

No one knew Nagasawa better than him!

Looking at Minato, who was full of confidence, Nagasawa scratched his head, wondering if he hid too much, causing Minato to wonder too much about him.

However, in a sense, Minato was right.

Now that he had the Whitebeard template, he was indeed a strong person in the Shinobi World.

Nagasawa lowered his head and pondered, analyzing the pros and cons of joining Anbu.

In the past, he had been hiding his strength because he was afraid. After all, Chunin and Jonin were assigned different missions.

But now, he was bound to Konoha, and the destruction of Konoha was equal to him being in danger.

In addition, with the Whitebeard template, he gained substantial strength. He could try to change his strategy and become a little more aggressive.

“Alright, but don’t blame me if I’m not good enough,” Nagasawa replied.

“Yes, I know. After all, you are just an ‘ordinary Chunin’.”

Seeing Nagasawa agree, Minato smiled and teased him.

“I will notify you in three days. The transfer of power has not been completed yet.” Minato said.

Nagasawa nodded and walked out of the office.

Next was the celebration time for the couple, and he did not want to get in their way.

After leaving the Hokage building, Nagasawa did not go home but went to a forest in the corner of Konoha.

The hot sun was blocked by the fresh green leaves, and only a few gaps between the green leaves shone into the forest, forming green spots.

Nagasawa walked through the forest full of green light and finally stopped at an empty space.

This was where he trained daily.

Because he had been hiding his strength, he did not like to go to the training ground in the village.

In an inconspicuous corner of Konoha, he made one himself.

He also learned a sealing technique from Kushina, and he used it to conceal this place.

He would know if this place was discovered by someone else if his Chakra there disappeared, and then he would move to another place.

Besides, there were only some traces of him practicing ninjutsu here, and there was no research data.

Some dummy targets on the empty ground and some big stones.

Sometimes, when practicing a more powerful Ninjutsu such as Rasengan, wood was not good enough, so he needed hard stones.

Nagasawa walked to a five-meter-tall boulder and raised his fist, but it was different from usual.

This time, he didn’t use any ninjutsu. He didn’t even use Chakra.

Instead, he used the power obtained from the binding panel – Color of Arms Haki!

Soon, Nagasawa’s entire arm was covered by a dark substance as if his arm was enveloped in steel-like substance.

Bang!

Nagasawa directly punched the stone.

Boom!!!!!!

The stone instantly exploded, gravel flew everywhere, and dust covered everything.

Nagasawa looked at the cracked stone and revealed a satisfied smile.

He didn’t even use half of his power just now.

And if such a punch were to hit an ordinary Chunin, they would definitely die instantly.

“If I use chakra again, can I…”

At this moment, Nagasawa felt that he could have a spar with the Fourth Raikage.

At the same time, he was looking forward to what would happen when he got a 100% fusion rate.

The 40% fusion rate already gave him that much strength, let alone 100%!

Then, Nagasawa used the Color of Observation Haki to sense his surroundings. After all, it would not be good if he were seen.

Although Whitebeard’s physique was very strong, his Tremor-Tremor Fruit was the core of his destructive power.

The Tremor-Tremor Fruit was simply a devil fruit born for destruction. It could easily cause a natural disaster like a tsunami.

“Fortunately, I am in Naruto’s world, so there is no Seastone here. Thus, my only weakness is as good as gone.” Nagasawa thought.

Nagasawa drew the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit in his body, and a spherical bubble appeared in his right hand before he punched the ground.

“crack!”

The air seemed to cracked and, the cracks and spread in all directions.

“Boom!”

Large chunks of the ground instantly cracked and made a loud noise, and then a hole was made on the ground, and dust covered the surroundings.

The moment he finished the punch, Nagasawa directly used the Body Flicker Technique to leave.

He was already holding back, but the Tremor-Tremor Fruit’s destructive power was just too strong.

He felt that if he were to fight someone in the future, it would be best not to fight in the village. Otherwise, the damage to the village would be worse than to the enemies…

Not long after Nagasawa left, two Anbus wearing animal masks came to this remote forest.

One of the Anbu looked at the messy scene and assessed the place, and frowned before saying,

“There is no residual chakra. Is this just an earthquake? But that doesn’t seem like it…”

Another Anbu flipped through a large number of shattered stones and said, “There are some things that look like a wooden dummy. Maybe this open space was originally a training ground.”

They both were relieved upon knowing that.

If it were a training ground, then they could rule out the possibility of that being spies’ doing.

Spies would not do this for nothing.

However, just in case, they still searched the surroundings and left after finding nothing.

They had just signed a peace treaty with Iwagakure, and the entire Ninja Realm was surging with undercurrents, so they could not relax.
