An hour later…
Seii and Hashirama were standing face to face in the private training ground.
Hashirama had agreed to spar to check Seii's overall increase in combat strength after he went through the first major physique enhancent.
He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Adapted to your new physique already?"
Seii calmly nodded and responded, "Yes, I did. An hour was more than enough for that."
Hashirama chuckled and added, "Usually, an hour is nowhere near enough to adjust to the body after the first major enhancent fully."
"After all, a sudden increase in strength with loss of control over it is nothing but a disaster. For a ninja on a battlefield, that's practically suicide."
"In our clan, elders usually beat the shit out…cough cough…I an, spar with us every day until we can internalize our newfound strength."
"In my generation, the fastest to adapt was your father, Tobirama, who fully adapted to his newly enhanced body within four hours."
"I rember it took nearly three days of constant sparring and training to do the sa."
"Most Senju ninjas usually take a week to ten days to achieve the sa feat."
With that, Hashirama paused slightly and stared at Seii with a deep gaze.
Seii, feeling uncomfortable under his uncle's scrutinizing gaze, counterattacked, "Please, don't look at like that. I'm not Aunt Mito or your second wife, Uchiha Madara."
This retort almost made Hashirama choke on his spit.
He began letting out a few fake coughs and asked, "Cough cough…ahem."
"What nonsense are you spouting? Seii, why would Madara be my second wife?"
"I'm completely straight and I only love Mito."
Hearing this, Seii let his thoughts wander for a second.
Fortunately, you're straight, and Madara isn't a girl.
Otherwise, I might have had a second aunt by now, Aunt Madara.
Fuck…Just imagining a cross-dressed, gender-swapped Uchiha Madara is enough to send chills down my spine.
And that is considering Aunt Mito wouldn't tie you up with her Adamantine Sealing Chains and whip you for your secret affair with gender-swapped Madara.
According to my father's accounts, even after you got married, you sneaked out every other night to spend more quality best bro ti with Madara.
You practically spend more ti hanging out with Madara than your literal wife.
I am truly speechless now.
If you weren't straight, all hell would have broken loose by now.
However, Seii didn't show any expression on the outside.
He just raised the corner of his lips and replied, "I see. I apologize, uncle. My thoughts slipped."
Hearing Seii's reply, Hashirama's lips couldn't help but twitch involuntarily.
He sighed and said, "Forget about it. Let's get back to the main topic."
Seii nodded and urged him to continue.
And Hashirama did exactly that.
He continued, "As I was saying, adapting to your enhanced physique in a short ti is an extrely difficult feat to achieve."
"According to Tobirama, to adapt as quickly as he did, a ninja needs high spiritual power that grants enhanced perception and thinking speed, and a highly active nerve network that grants ultra-lightning fast reflexes."
"Coincidentally, he had both. His innate spiritual power is off the charts, rivaling ninjas with powerful and advanced Dojutsu."
"If you have truly adapted to your enhanced body within the last hour, it ans you not only have naturally high spiritual power, which is obvious since you have a fully matured Sharingan, but you also have ultra-lightning fast reflexes."
"That's good."
"Because it will increase your ability to survive the upcoming war."
Hashirama paused for a while before showing a harmless smile.
"It also ans that I can try using the strength of a newly advanced clan leader-level ninja to spar with you. Oh, it's probably called Kage-level now."
"If you have truly adapted to your enhanced physique, using the earlier S-rank or quasi-kage-level strength won't be enough to test your limits, right?"
"Anyway, good luck."
Seeing Hashirama talking nonsense with a harmless smile, Seii cursed his uncle in his mind.
Yeah, right.
Initial Kage-level strength according to your standards.
Even a mid-level Kage-level ninja might struggle against that.
And what am I? Just an Elite Jonin-level ninja with a little bit more chakra.
Please, if you just want to beat up for my earlier comnts, just say it.
No need to talk nonsense.
It looks like I am in for a lot of pain even after the first major physique advancent.
Well, the pain will go away tomorrow.
And I will be able to test my limits.
So, it's fine, I guess.
Seii thought inwardly.
What else could he do?
He was still young and too weak.
He could only be bullied now. But he would definitely try his best.
It doesn't matter if he could land a proper hit now. He would surely land several hits in the future after he reaches the level of Super Kage.
After imrsing himself in dark thoughts for a second, Seii looked at Hashirama and beca extrely vigilant.
The spar was about to begin. And he couldn't afford to relax anymore.
Seeing Seii entering combat mode, Hashirama smiled and said, "Alright. Attack with everything you have got."
"However, for the first round, use only Taijutsu techniques. I will do the sa."
"Very well," said Seii before he used chakra to reinforce his entire body to the limit.
Imdiately, his strength, agility, dexterity, reflexes, and defenses reached a level terrifying enough to make even veteran Jonins specializing in Taijutsu avoid direct physical attacks from him.
He felt that he could now shatter a three or four-ter-tall boulder with his punches without even using Chakra Enhanced Strength.
But to face his uncle, he needed to go all out.
So, he gathered a large amount of chakra on his left leg, stomped his foot on the ground, and detonated the concentrated chakra the mont his feet touched the ground without hesitation.
Chakra Enhanced Strength
Boom!
The powerful detonation of concentrated chakra caused the ground to crack and sink. Countless spider-web-like cracks spread, centering the place where Seii stomped his foot.
With a loud bang, Seii's figure rocketed toward Hashirama with trendous montum.
He arrived right in front of Hashirama in the blink of an eye, clenched the fingers of his right hand into a fist, gathered as much chakra as he could amass within the short ti fra into his fist, and threw a punch with all his might.
At a glance, it was clear that he was planning to use Chakra Enhanced Strength to launch a blow devastating enough to turn most full-fledged Jonin into blood mist or shatter their bodies if they dared to confront his punch head-on.
But Hashirama didn't even flinch.
Seeing the incoming attack, he simply reinforced his body with chakra and used his right palm to directly block the punch.
The mont Seii's fist connected to Hashirama's palm, Seii detonated all the gathered chakra.
BOOOOM!!!
With a resounding boom, the detonated chakra created a huge shockwave. The power behind the punch was so imnse that the ground beneath Seii and Hashirama's feet cracked.
But even then, Hashirama remained completely unaffected.
He even had enough ti to comnt leisurely, "Hmm…not bad."
"Your base physical strength has increased by three tis at the very least."
"The first major physique enhancent indeed produced such an excellent result."
Seeing his uncle blocking the punch empowered by Chakra Enhanced Strength without even breaking a sweat, Seii wasn't fazed at all.
He had experienced the sa thing countless tis now. He was used to it.
But this didn't stop him from marveling at Hashirama's prowess as a ninja and his mastery over chakra.
His Tenseigan scanned Hashirama's body and analyzed the root cause of his failure.
Normally, to block attacks empowered by Chakra Enhanced Strength, most Senju clan ninjas counter those attacks using the Chakra Enhanced Strength themselves.
Of course, most of the ti, they would just dodge.
But this uncle of mine blocked it by relying on his sheer physical might, powerful chakra, and precise chakra control.
The chakra running through his chakra pathway is incredibly pure and dense. Its density is so high that my uncle's internal chakra almost turned into a liquid form.
With such potent chakra, the power of his Ninjutsu and chakra-based Taijutsu has increased several tis over.
Plus, when he reinforces his body with chakra, the chakra protecting his body takes an almost solid form, protecting his body like armor.
This increased his defense to an insane degree, allowing him to defend against many devastating attacks without even flinching.
Is this the result of reaching the very peak of Super Kage level?
Even though Seii's mind raced with countless thoughts, his offense never stopped.
He constantly used Chakra Enhanced Strength to attack Hashirama with a flurry of punches, kicks, knee strikes, and elbow strikes from many unpredictable angles.
Each attack contained trendous power, causing violent shockwaves upon each impact.
BOOM!! BOOM!! BOOM!! BOOM!! BOOM!!
The constant shockwaves caused violent gusts of wind to flow around Seii and Hashirama, all while making the ground crack with each collision.
However, Hashirama blocked all of them. Seii just couldn't slip past his defense and land a punch in his head or torso, no matter how many attacks he launched.
Hashirama even launched a few punches, chops, and kicks of his own, causing Seii to dodge or block the attacks frantically.
Although blocking his uncle's attacks still caused him bone-deep pain, at least his internal organs no longer rattled.
He had to say that his innate physical defense had indeed increased.
Otherwise, the sa attacks forced him to cough up blood just a few days ago.
Of course, his slightly enhanced reflexes also help him mitigate a large portion of the force behind Hashirama's attacks.
At this ti, Hashirama suddenly launched another right kick.
The kick arrived in front of him in a flash, giving him no ti to dodge.
Fortunately, his lightning-fast reflexes kicked in, allowing him to tilt his body at a strange angle to mitigate a large portion of the force behind the kick.
At the sa ti, he crossed his arms to protect his torso while using chakra to reinforce his body to the limit.
He also gathered a large amount of chakra on his arms.
As soon as Hashirama's kick was connected to his arms, Seii decisively used Chakra Enhance Strength to detonate the chakra he gathered in his arms, successfully shaving off another large portion of force behind the kick.
Boooom!!! Slid~
But even so, his figure slid a couple of tens of ters backward, leaving behind two deep drag marks on the ground.
Hashirama saw this and exclaid, "Amazing! Your reflexes are excellent for soone of your age."
"If you have the talent to sense space, you can probably learn Tobirama's Flying Thunder God Technique, a true space-ti Ninjutsu."
Seii relaxed his crossed arms and replied, "I do. And I'm already learning it."
Hashirama smiled and said, "Great. But let's continue our spar, shall we?"
"Now, we are going to enter the second phase."
"Attack with everything you have, including all kinds of Ninjutsu. No weapons, of course."
Seii exhaled in relief.
Goodness! His bones felt like they were about to fall apart. This uncle of his didn't hold back at all.
Seii took a deep breath and thought…
Alright.
Here goes nothing…
