"Okay. Now, make the seal of confrontation."
The Jonin instructor, who was acting as a referee, chid in.
Hearing this, Seii and Kyojuro brought their right hand to the center of their chests, stretched their index and ring fingers straight, and kept the other fingers neatly folded.
Both of them were facing each other—their eyes were sharp as they made the seal of confrontation.
They were just 5 ters away from each other, waiting for the referee to start the combat session.
As the tension kept building, the referee jumped to the edge of the arena and shouted.
"Begin."
As soon as the world fell, Seii grabbed his short steel sword in his right hand, empowered his legs with chakra, and dashed toward Kyojuro without giving him any room to blink.
He crossed the 5-ter distance in a blink and slashed his sword at a 45-degree angle from left to right in an upward motion, targeting Kyojuro's liver.
Kyojuro was about 150 cm tall, a full 30 cm taller than Seii, making it very difficult for him to defend against the attack.
However, he was no slouch either. He had recently been promoted to Chunin and was a genius of the Senju clan.
Although he was initially surprised to see such a fast attack, he imdiately composed himself and brought his Kunai down to block the attack.
Clang~
The heavy sound of tal hitting tal echoed in the training ground as their sword and kunai clashed.
Kyojuro was surprised once again. Seii's attack was much heavier than he initially expected. A 6-year-old kid really shouldn't have this kind of strength.
(A/N: Seii's physique value was 9. Only Senju children who are older than 11 years have a physique value of 9 or more. Then, once they beco 12 years old, their primary growth spurt begins. This is the ti when Senju children experience rapid growth in their physique, vitality, and chakra.)
However, Kyojuro quickly adjusted his stance, put a little strength on his left leg, and used the force from their clash to jump a long distance backward.
He wanted to create a little distance and take the initiative to begin his counterattack.
But how could Seii let this chance go?
Seii quickly ford a one-handed hand seal to unleash his Ninjutsu.
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique
A stream of fire ca out of his mouth and ford a large 2-diater fireball, which raced toward the retreating Kyojuro.
Seeing the giant fireball racing toward him, Kyojuro imdiately stopped his retreat and dodged to his left just in ti for the Fireball to pass through.
Although he dodged the fireball, he still felt its blistering heat even after coating his body with chakra. A cold sweat ca out of his forehead as he thought about the consequences of being hit by that fireball.
"What a ruthless bastard," Kyojuro cursed in his mind.
However, before he could complete his thoughts, he heard the whistling sound of projectiles cutting through the air.
He saw four shurikens traveling in an arc targeting his throat, heart, kidney, and head.
BOOOM!!!
anwhile, the fireball he just dodged traveled a few more ters before exploding with a loud boom. The shockwave, along with the heat, directly hit him.
"Fuck!!!!"
Kyojuro couldn't help but curse out loud and imdiately used the Substitution Jutsu to avoid the shurikens.
Thud~ Thud~ Thud~ Thud~
The shurikens Seii launched hit a log of wood, and the shockwave of the fireball's explosion made dust erupt, covering his vision.
Kyojuro was nowhere to be seen.
Wood Release: Cutting Technique
Suddenly, multiple 1-ter-long sharp wood projectiles were hurled toward Seii from the dusty cover.
Body Flicker Technique
Seii used the Body Flicker Technique to move his body away from the wood projectiles' trajectory.
However, before he could relax, a large tree and thick wooden tree roots ca out of the ground in a blink, trying to entangle and bury him within them.
Seii wasted no ti and imdiately used the Substitution Technique to dodge the trap and move out of there.
The wood log he substituted himself with was quickly enclosed by the roots and was crushed into splinters.
'I'm pretty sure that was Wood Release: Tree Bind Flourishing Burial. A simple yet dangerous wood-release Ninjutsu.'
'Sure enough! In Shinobi combat, you can never afford to let your guard down.'
Seii mused as he induced chakra into his Tenseigan. As he did that, he could clearly see Kyojuro preparing another Ninjutsu from the smoke cover.
'Hmm…sothing doesn't seem right.'
'He did use two powerful Ninjutsu. But those Jutsu shouldn't make his chakra reserve plumt to more than half.'
Seii imdiately scanned the area while preparing his own Jutsu.
anwhile, Kyojuro finished his hand seals.
Earth Release: Rock Gun Technique
Kyojuro shot a bullet-sized rock from his mouth, which flew toward Seii at an astonishing speed. As the bullet neared Seii, its size increased from a bullet to a huge boulder of 1.5 ters in diater.
Seii effortlessly dodged it, completed his hand signs, and released his own Ninjutsu.
Wind Release: Great Breakthrough
A strong gust of wind was blown from Seii's mouth, covering the entire dueling arena. The gust of wind was as devastating as a category-4 typhoon, blowing out both the dust covering Kyojuro and Kyojuro himself.
Such large-scale Ninjutsu astonished both Kyojuro and those who witnessed it, making it hard to believe it was just a C-rank Ninjutsu.
But the experienced spectators, including Hashirama, understood that Seii simply supercharged his Ninjutsu with a massive amount of chakra.
And they were right. Seii supercharged his Jutsu with 1,000 units of chakra when it usually requires only 100 units.
Kyojuro had no ti to muster any defense as he was blown away. He hit the ground hard and turned into a wooden statue.
"Found you!"
Seii used his Tenseigan and found Kyojuro hiding underground, roughly 3 ters below the surface.
He wasted no ti.
He instantly perford two hand seals, jumped high into the air, and cupped his hand near his mouth.
Water Release: Water Trumpet
A jet of high-pressure water ca out of Seii's mouth, accurately targeting the place where Kyojuro hid underground.
Just as the water was about to hit the surface, the front edge of the high-pressure water suddenly expanded and slamd into the earth at high speed.
The imnse water pressure caused the ground to crack and the debris to corrode.
Kyojuro also felt the ground shake and tried to flee from his current location.
However, the unstable earth did cause him a lot of trouble as his figure ca out of the ground with nurous deep bruises and bleeding injuries.
The place he was hiding was completely obliterated by the impact of Seii's Ninjutsu.
Water and chunks of rocks were littered everywhere. The original impact point now had a nearly five-ter-deep crater.
