Flame Ninja System

"Sasuke-kun, I heard Uncle Tazuna's from the Land of Waves. Do they have ninja there too?" 

"Uh…" 

Sakura's question caught Sasuke off guard, and he immediately felt a bit awkward. 

Having never left Konohagakure, Sasuke knew next to nothing about the other nations in the shinobi world. 

"That kind of stuff is a secret in the Land of Waves. How would us genin know? Only jonin or kage-level ninja would have that intel!" 

"The Land of Waves doesn't have ninja!" 

Seeing Sasuke pretend to know what he was talking about, Kazama kicked into his face-slapping mode. 

"This guy! Stealing my spotlight again!" 

Sasuke shot Kazama a silent glare, fuming inside. 

"The Land of Waves is a small island. They don't need a ninja village." 

"Then which countries do have ninja villages?" 

Now Naruto was curious, leaning in closer. 

"There are a bunch, but the strongest are the Five Great Shinobi Nations! Konohagakure in the Land of Fire, Sunagakure in the Land of Wind, Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning, Iwagakure in the Land of Earth, and Kirigakure in the Land of Water. Their leaders are called the Hokage, Kazekage, Raikage, Tsuchikage, and Mizukage—the five most powerful ninja in the world right now!" 

Naruto, Sakura, and even Sasuke were hanging on Kazama's every word, completely captivated. 

"Wow, Kazama-kun, you know so much!" 

Sakura scooted closer to Kazama, her eyes sparkling. 

"Ugh, he totally stole my thunder!" 

Sasuke wasn't thrilled to see Sakura drawn in by Kazama's charm. 

Kazama, meanwhile, flashed Sasuke a smug grin. 

Sure, his main goal in the Land of Waves was to recruit Zabuza and Haku, and maybe siphon some of Naruto's Nine-Tails chakra to boost his own strength. But if he could win over a pretty girl like Sakura along the way? That wasn't a bad bonus. 

"Hmph! Knowing a lot doesn't mean squat. When a real enemy shows up, you'll still choke!" 

Sasuke, bitter about losing his fanbase, took every chance to jab at Kazama. 

"Katon: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!" 

Before Sasuke could finish his taunt, Kazama unleashed a Fire Release technique. 

Three blazing dragons, infused with the intense power of strange flames, roared toward a nearby puddle. 

Moments later, two panicked figures emerged from the water. 

"Damn it! How did that kid spot us?!" 

"How should I know? Let's just get outta here!" 

"Trying to run? Too late!" 

With a cold shout, Kazama sent the three fire dragons splitting off to chase them down. 

In mere seconds, the fleeing ninja were reduced to ashes. 

From start to finish, Kazama's attack took only a handful of moments. 

Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura were stunned. Even Kakashi's eyes widened in shock. 

He hadn't even noticed enemies hiding in that puddle beforehand. 

But Kazama? Not only did he detect them, he took them out with lightning speed. 

"Kazama's sensory skills are unreal!" 

As Kakashi marveled at Kazama's performance, Kazama casually turned to him. 

"Kakashi-sensei, judging by the headbands those two were wearing, they were Kirigakure ninja. Probably chunin-level." 

"His perception and insight are already at jonin level. This kid's a genius!" 

Kakashi couldn't help but praise Kazama. 

"Mr. Tazuna, looks like we need to have a little chat." 

As Kakashi and Tazuna stepped away to talk, Kazama turned to Sasuke with a grin. 

"So, Sasuke, how's it feel to get schooled again?" 

Sasuke was speechless, his pride stinging. 

He knew he wasn't on Kazama's level, but he hadn't realized the gap was this wide. 

When those Kirigakure ninja appeared, Sasuke had frozen in fear. 

But Kazama? He took them out effortlessly, looking like he was barely trying. 

Sasuke, the so-called genius, suddenly felt like a fool. 

"Kazama-kun, you're so cool!" 

Sakura's heart was completely won over by Kazama's slick moves. 

"Kazama, you can use Katon too? You're freaking awesome!" 

"Just average, y'know," Kazama said, scratching his head with a shy grin at Naruto's praise. 

Deep down, Kazama was actually pretty humble. 

He didn't want to show off, but his strength just made it inevitable.
