Grind is My Ninja Way

Chapter 683 - 681: A New Beginning

Two days later.

The Hokage election concluded.

As expected, Minato Namikaze was elected as the new Hokage.

This marked his official debut on the historical stage as the Fourth Hokage of Konoha.

As the saying goes, "With a new emperor comes a new court."

Whether others liked it or not, with Hiruzen Sarutobi stepping down as the Third Hokage, many older figures also retired from the village's administration.

In their place, younger individuals entered the center of power, bringing fresh energy to the village. This change even heightened the overall training atmosphere in the village.rate his eardrums and reach his brain, causing Seimei to furrow his brows slightly.

He gazed at the giant, rapidly spinning chakra shuriken hovering above his right palm. It felt as though he were holding an extremely dangerous bomb.

The chakra contained within it was incredibly violent, as if it could explode at any moment.

However, that was merely an illusion.

Seimei extended his perception, carefully sensing the structure within, and found it to be extraordinarily stable. To put it bluntly, it was far more stable than at any previous time.

Its outward appearance of chaos and instability was purely due to the immense amount of chakra concentrated within, making it look wildly volatile.

In reality, Seimei could even stop the jutsu at this point and slowly retract the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken into his palm.

With the help of Chakra Absorption, he could recover at least 70% of the chakra used.

This was the power of mastering level 10 (0/0)—a realm entirely beyond the reach of level 9.

"No wonder it required a full 100,000 proficiency points. Worth it!" Seimei muttered.

He slightly turned his body, creating an approximately 30-degree angle between himself and the deserted island ahead.

Then, with a swift motion, he hurled the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken in his hand.

In the next moment, the massive chakra shuriken spun through the air, carving a crescent-shaped trail across the sea before landing precisely on the deserted island.

Boom!

A deafening explosion echoed.

The distant island was struck and erupted in a violent blast.

A powerful tremor traveled through the seawater, and as the dust and smoke settled, the island was visibly diminished. It looked as if a huge bite had been taken out of it.
