On the vast, boundless sea.
Beyond the giant island, huge birds flapped their wings.
All the new students watched the scene about to unfold.
They wanted to see just how impressive the legendary new student ceremony truly was.
And with so many Jonin appearing here just for them, it must be very impressive, right?
"Shino, you go first."
Naruto said to Shino Aburame.
"Mm."
Shino Aburame heard him, walked to the front with a smile, and then said to the new students, "What I'm going to demonstrate is the power of an Insect Master. So watch closely."
Buzz buzz buzz!
Without him making any specific movements, the openings in his high-street clothing—sleeves, collar, and other parts—began to hum.
Then the new generation saw countless black insects flying out from his body.
More and more, an ever-increasing swarm.
They covered the sky and earth.
Like dark clouds in the sky, they swept towards the island.
Buzz buzz!
"Insect Devour."
Whoosh whoosh whoosh ~
The insects, like dark clouds, descended like an arrow rain, targeting the various trees on the island.
Crack ~
"Such terrifying insects, I want my mom."
"This is the Aburame clan's Insect Ninjutsu, the Parasitic Destruction Insect! To be able to release so many, amazing!"
Some were scared, others were not, watching with great interest.
They watched with wide eyes.
Then they saw that the hundreds of meters tall trees before them were instantly swept clean.
Countless wild beasts began to flee in all directions.
It seemed this wasn't the first time; these animals fled in an orderly fashion.
Some wild beasts also counterattacked.
They spewed flames, lightning, and other Ninjutsu, retaliating against the Parasitic Destruction Insects.
Like a locust plague.
Whether it was trees or wild beasts, Ninjutsu or other plants, anything organic was instantly devoured completely.
"If he attacked us, wouldn't we all be finished in one move? Is this the Aburame clan's secret technique?"
Boruto's eyes widened when he saw how powerful Shino Aburame was.
Could his father's legendary best friend, his idol Uchiha Sasuke, create such a scene?
This island was very large, the plants were huge, and the wild beasts were huge, yet it was all defeated in one move.
The island before them was now pitted and scarred, with no beautiful spots left.
This was comparable to Pain's Shinra Tensei in the movie where Pain invaded and his father was the protagonist, wasn't it?
He hadn't expected this seemingly unremarkable teacher to be so powerful.
Mitsuki, beside Boruto, listened to his words, his smile unwavering.
It wasn't just Boruto.
The other new generation students were also dumbfounded.
Was this the new student ceremony?
Was the scale really this grand?
"Hmph, that's quite impressive, but our clan's secret technique can also achieve such a large scale. I will definitely surpass this insect-using teacher in the future."
Said a girl with cat ears and a green vest.
Beside her, a boy with a middle part and overalls, hearing her words, also said, "It's truly amazing. How can we achieve that? Perhaps only your clan's secret technique, Aoi-chan, can achieve such a large-scale attack!
I heard that during the Fourth Shinobi World War, Sensei Satoru used your clan's secret technique to summon a giant cat god thousands of meters tall, fighting against the legendary Uchiha Madara's Susanoo."
Aoi Izuno replied proudly, "That's right, my dad was taught by Sensei Satoru. Although he wasn't that strong, since my clan's secret technique could be used so powerfully by Sensei Satoru, I can definitely do it too."
"It's a pity my father didn't learn Sensei Satoru's techniques, but I won't be weak either," Fuma Shikaku said, clenching his fists.
Their fathers were all children taught by Sensei Satoru.
They all aimed to be like Sensei Satoru.
Now seeing this sight, it indeed piqued their interest a little.
"Hmph, I won't be weaker than Sensei in the future; I'll even be stronger than him."
A young man with three silk-like patterns on his clothes and the Moon crest of his family, seeing this scene, was also unconvinced.
Their family's secret technique could also achieve such a large-scale attack.
According to his elders, as long as one mastered the family's secret technique, Shinatobe, and had enough Chakra, it would be possible to achieve such world-destroying techniques.
Buzz buzz buzz!
As the demonstration ended, Shino retrieved all his insects.
His performance just now should have been impactful enough, right?
Shino Aburame smiled proudly.
Then he looked at the new generation, and seeing their gazes, he felt very comfortable.
He was finally no longer the person without presence.
Because of the Aburame clan's natural lack of presence, under the guidance of Sensei Satoru, he finally found a way to deal with it.
Shino could now use a certain secret technique to increase his life aura, allowing himself, who cultivated the Insect Control secret technique, to have a greater sense of presence.
After all, he was going to be a teacher.
No longer the killer or Ninja he once was.
"Shino, your Ninjutsu has improved again. It seems you've trained a lot over the years."
Naruto also smiled when he saw this.
Although Shino had a weak presence when he was young, he gave everyone a strong sense of security.
Now he was also a two-star Insect Ninja, the strongest Insect Master in the world apart from Shibi Aburame.
Over the years, he had innovated and developed many practical insects. Besides combat insects, he had also developed many delicious and useful ones.
A true Insect Master.
Shino Aburame: "Of course, I don't have to stay in the Hokage Office every day, and my dad is handling the clan's affairs."
He did not inherit the position of clan head.
Instead, he became a teacher.
As a teacher, he naturally didn't have much time to deal with clan affairs, so Shibi Aburame was still leading the clan and training the next generation's clan head.
Naruto was stunned when he heard this.
Indeed, over the years, his Ninjutsu training had suffered greatly because of his position as Hokage.
Fortunately, Konoha's training system was now sufficient to allow him to take off.
His progress over these years had also been significant.
"Alright, Shino has finished his performance. Next, it's my turn, Konoha's Azure Beast, Mr. Might Guy."
Might Guy spoke loudly, ready to showcase his youth, and began stretching to warm up.
"Guy, warm up all you want, but let's perform after the young people have finished, let them have their moment in the spotlight."
Satoru stopped Might Guy.
If he went first, the impact of his performance would be diminished.
A performance, of course, should build up gradually.
"Alright."
Might Guy gave a thumbs-up.
Naruto also smiled: "Konohamaru, it's your turn next. Let me see your progress over the years. The position of Eighth Hokage, besides the recognition of others, also requires great strength!"
Konohamaru grinned when he heard this.
Of course.
The Eighth Hokage would definitely be him.
Now it was his turn to perform, and it would definitely be spectacular.
