Potential

In the bedroom of the hospital Dazen slept quietly, but soon he moved and opened his eyes slowly, looking around a little confused without understanding where he was, but soon he heard a familiar voice "it seems that you woke up."

Dazen then looked toward the voice and noticed Kenji looking at him with a smile on his face.

Kenji smiled with relief seeing that Dazen had woken up, "You slept for a long time seems that the fight really led you to the limit."

Quickly the confusion disappeared from Dazen's eyes when he remembered the fight and began to understand what was going on, he said, "Where are Hideki and Ayume? They are well?"

Kenji smiled and nodded as he said, "They're fine, I sent them home to rest they should soon get here to see how you are."

Dazen was relieved with Kenji's answer, but soon felt a pain in his ribs that made them close to their teeth.

Kenji saw the pain of Dazen and said, "Try not to move much you got hurt a lot during the fight you will need several days to recover completely."

Dazen nodded and lay down to rest, Kenji smiled and said, "You three really surprised me this time being able to deal with two experienced jounins completely exceeded my expectations, but you should never try to do something so dangerous."

Dazen understood his teacher's words and said, "I know, but we didn't have much choice this time we would be achieved in a short time and forced into a fight so we calculate that it would be better to take the initiative and attack for advantage."

Kenji of course understood this point, "This time you really didn't have another option, but it is good that you understand that if you had the option to run away in situations like this, they run away without thinking twice this time you were able to win due to the error of your opponents, but that may not happen a second time."

Dazen nodded by understanding his teacher's words, Kenji then began to ask Dazen about the fight wanting to know his point of view about the battle and of course Dazen answered his questions.

However, the conversation did not last long, as soon Hideki and Ayume arrived in the room and were excited to realize that Dazen had woken up.

Ayume quickly approached Dazen and said, "Finally you woke up Dazen, how are you feeling?"

Dazen smiled, despite the pain, and replied, "I've had better days."

Hideki, with a smile of relief, said, "You really scared us, dozen, we were worried about you, especially Ayume she was very restless during that time."

Dazen was surprised and Ayume's face turned red when she quickly replied, "Shut up Hideki, of course I worry when someone on my team gets wounded."

Hideki lifted his hands with a smile and did not answer the girl, Kenji laughed at his team's interaction and said to Dazen: "Well now that you are well accompanied, I will leave the Hokage asked me to go to your office to discuss some issues, don't make a lot of noise don't forget that you are in a hospital."

The three nodded and then Kenji quickly left.

Ayume and Hideki then started talking to Dazen now that they saw that Dazen was well cheered out a lot and started talking about the fight now that everything was over the two were very excited about having defeated two Jounins.

Kenji quickly left the hospital and headed toward the village's main building and then climbed toward the Hokage office and then knocked on the door and entered as soon as he heard Hiruzen's permission.

Hiruzen then saw Kenji and said: "Kenji you came early, how is the boy?"

Kenji then said: "He's fine, he woke up a short time ago and it doesn't seem to have any problems he will probably be released in a few days."

Hiruzen nodded and said: "Good, now let's go why I asked you to come here today, actually has to do with your team, Kenji tells me what their strength is and what you think about the potential of the three?"

Kenji was surprised by the question; he did not think that Hokage would be interested in his students.

Seeing Kenji's surprise, Hiruzen smiled and explained: "Yesterday I was very surprised by the performance of your team at this moment talent ninjas are very important so I want to know a little more about these three."

Kenji understood and then began to speak: "The three of them were already very good when they left the ninja academy, but they have improved a lot during the last few months, Hideki is very good with genjutsu and with me he learned sensing techniques and a little elemental ninjutsu, he He is very intelligent and can read the battlefield well, he will become a very competent jounin one day."

Hiruzen nodded as he thought: 'He would probably become an expert in genjutsu, and his sensing abilities and techniques from the Yamanaka clan made him a very dangerous ninja in battle.'

Kenji finished Hideki's analysis and continued: "Ayume prefers short and medium distance combat, she is very good with taijutsu, but her specialty is her elemental jutsus, at the moment she has a good command of fire and is training her earth element with me, which makes her a very versatile ninja, I'm also teaching her how to move around the battlefield, using speed to alternate between short and medium range to get the best out of her skills, she's very talented, if she continues at this pace she will mastering all 5 elements, from my point of view if she trains enough she can reach the rank of elite jounin."

Hiruzen was happy with Kenji's assessment of Ayume: 'As expected, Ryuji's daughter is quite talented, I will ask him to train her a little more seriously.'

Kenji then continued: "As for Dazen, he is very good with Kenjutsu and lightning style ninjutusu, his speed is his greatest strong point, he can advance and retreat from a battle without any problem and just like Hideki he is very intelligent, achieving create strategies during battle, at the moment I am training him in sensing skills and in my clan's Kenjutsu and ninjutsu, if he masters everything I teach him he will be a very dangerous ninja in battle, of the three I think Dazen is the who has more potential he will probably become a very powerful elite jounin and could even surpass me in the future."

This time Kenji's assessment surprised Hiruzen a lot, he understood Kenji's strength very well, he was one of the strongest ninjas in Konoha: 'He believes this boy a lot, if his talent is really this level, dozen will be a very feared ninja in the future.'

Hiruzen smiled and thought: 'In recent years Konoha has been lucky with talents, Minato and Kakashi are already very pleasant surprises and now three more talented ninjas have appeared at this rate Konoha won't have much to worry about.'

Hiruzen then said: "That's great, you did an excellent job with your team, you're going to sign them up for the chunin exam in 2 months, right?"

Kenji nodded there was no point in making his team wait any longer to take the chunin exam.

Hiruzen was happy with Kenji's confirmation and said: "Well, I can't wait to see the performance and skills of the three with my own eyes."
