Hiruzen Sarutobi: “Danzo, there seems to be a current of unrest stirring in the shinobi world lately. Have you noticed it?”
Danzo: “Hmph, you mean Uchiha Xiaobu. That kid has been making quite a splash lately. His exploits in the Trial Tower have already spread among the shinobi.”
Hiruzen Sarutobi: “Indeed. Xiaobu has astonishing potential. They say every floor of the Trial Tower holds challenges beyond our imagination, yet he’s been able to fight his way through them all.”
Danzo: “He’s just a kid. Maybe he’s been lucky. The Trial Tower may be mysterious, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he has what it takes to dominate the shinobi world.”
(At that moment, Kakashi Hatake enters the office.)
Kakashi: “Lord Hokage, Lord Danzo, I don’t think Xiaobu’s story is that simple. From what I know, he’s shown extraordinary adaptability and learning ability in battles against all kinds of opponents. From facing taijutsu experts at first to later countering genjutsu and fighting shinobi skilled in different chakra natures, he’s handled it all with ease.”
Hiruzen Sarutobi: “Kakashi, you’ve met him. What do you think his power comes from?”
Kakashi: “He seems to have a unique method of training, and his Sharingan evolves at an astonishing pace. He keeps breaking through his limits in battle. When fighting opponents at the Kage level, he can awaken the three-tomoe Sharingan and find a chance to win. I’ve never seen talent and potential like his.”
(Might Guy rushes into the room.)
Might Guy: “Lord Hokage! I’ve heard about Xiaobu. That kid’s got the fire of youth! His fighting style is full of spirit, like a blazing flame”
