Chapter 28 - Sarutobi Hiruzen Wants to Take in a Disciple

Although Chiba Chishima has the same physique and talents as Tsunade, their focuses are completely different.

  Perhaps because of her personality, Tsunade prefers close combat and greatly enjoys the violent method of attacking with fists to the flesh.

  Therefore, Tsunade focused her own talents and physical advantages on ninjutsu, with ninjutsu as a supplement.

  Chishima Chiba is different. He focused on transforming the talents and physical advantages he got from Tsunade into various types of ninjutsu, with physical skills as a supplement.

  The different choices made by the two naturally led to very different fighting styles, but they were also extremely complementary.

  However, now that the two of them were competing on the same stage, it was naturally impossible for them to combine their abilities. Moreover, Chishima Chiba, who used his own weakness to attack the other's strength, soon fell into a disadvantage.

  Tsunade became more and more addicted to the fight. The chakra in her body boiled, and the power of her punches and kicks became stronger and stronger. Every time Chishima Chiba caught one of Tsunade's attacks, she would grimace in pain.

  This is too violent!

  "Tsunade, that's enough..."

  Chishima Chiba was in a headache and wanted to distance himself from Tsunade, but Tsunade was relentless and did not give Chishima Chiba the chance to distance himself again. Her continuous explosive attacks even prevented Chishima Chiba from even having time to form hand seals and release ninjutsu.

  Tsunade said nothing, but the strength of her hands and feet became even more powerful, and her eyes were full of fighting spirit. It was obvious that she wanted to secure victory in this way.

  Seeing that Tsunade ignored him, Chishima Chiba had no choice but to use sealing technique.

  While blocking Tsunade's swift punches and kicks, Chishima Chiba did two things at once, mobilizing the chakra in his body to condense it in the center of his palm, quickly forming a series of strange and complex sealing techniques.

  After a moment, the sealing technique was formed, and Chishima Chiba changed from defense to offense. At the same time, he loosened his fist into a palm and slapped Tsunade's fist that was hitting him straight at him.

  Sealing Technique: Heavy Sealing of Limbs!

  The moment the palm and the fist touched, the pitch-black sealing technique started from Tsunade's fist and quickly spread to Tsunade's wrist, and only stopped when it occupied Tsunade's entire right arm.

  "Sealing technique?!"

  Tsunade opened her mouth slightly in disbelief, and as she blurted out, she felt that her right arm weighed a thousand pounds and she couldn't even lift it, let alone continue attacking Chishima Chiba.

  There was a fleeting look of unwillingness in her eyes, and Tsunade suddenly raised her left arm and hit Chishima Chiba hard in the face.

  Chishima Chiba smiled bitterly, raised his hand again to receive Tsunade's left fist and did the same.

  The next second, when the pitch-black sealing technique spread to Tsunade's entire left arm, Tsunade's hands drooped at both sides of her body, no longer as majestic as before.

  "Give up the defeat."

  "I don't!"

  Tsunade's tense little face was full of stubbornness. She suddenly raised her head and kicked Chishima Chiba in the abdomen.

  Chiba Chiba was of course prepared. With just one hand, he grabbed Tsunade's beautiful legs and hugged them in his arms. He continued to persuade her helplessly, "Give up, you are not..."

  "You're dreaming!"

  Tsunade gritted her teeth, exerted strength from her waist and abdomen, and raised her left leg. She then lay horizontally in the air, with her left foot pointed at Chishima Chiba's chest.

  Chishima Chiba was kicked directly by Tsunade, and his chest felt stuffy. The huge force made his blood and energy surge in his body, and it took him two or three seconds to calm down.

  But Tsunade wasn't feeling well either. Her arms were sealed and she couldn't lift them at all. She could only fall straight down from mid-air and hit the ground.

  Chishima Chiba felt distressed when he saw this, and regardless of Tsunade's flailing legs, he went around behind her, held the back of her head and helped her up.

  "What are you trying to do? Just admit defeat decisively and you won't have to suffer this."

  "None of your business!"

  Tsunade was like a little lioness, staring fiercely at Chishima Chiba, and said in the cruelest tone of voice that she admitted defeat, "You win this time, but I will definitely win back next time."

  "You can't beat me if I don't let you win."

  "You are not allowed to let me go!" Tsunade leaned on Chishima Chiba's arms, shaking her little head wildly, "If you dare to let me go, I will ignore you in the future!"  

  "…"

  Chishima Chiba felt helpless about Tsunade's competitive nature, but he had no intention of correcting her.

  This is also one of Tsunade's characteristics, isn't it?

  He raised his hand to remove the seals on Tsunade's arms. Only then could Tsunade move freely. She pouted and climbed out of Chishima Chiba's arms in a depressed look.

  Just as she stood firm, Tsunade became more and more angry. She turned around and raised her hand, punching Chishima Chiba in the chest.

  Not too heavy nor too light, just the right amount of strength.

  "Huh, I feel much better now."

  After leaving a few words, Tsunade flicked her ponytail and turned away, leaving Chishima Chiba stroking her chest with a wry smile on her face.

  At this time, Takezawa Masahiro belatedly realized the situation and ran onto the field, loudly announcing that the person for this practical test was Chishima Chiba.

  "The young are to be feared!"

  Looking at Chiba Chishima's back, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but sigh, "Chiba is only 7 years old this year, right?"

  "Six and a half years old, to be exact." Senju Tobirama interrupted, rarely, "The same age as Tsunade."

  "That's incredible..." Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled bitterly, "I don't think they had this much strength when they were this old."

  "That's hard to say. When Jing was this old, he should be better than Tsunade and Chishima Chiba." Shimura Danzo glanced at Uchiha Jing on the side, "Isn't that right, Jing?"

  "When I was Chishima Chiba's age, I didn't know any sealing techniques. Even now, I don't know any."

  Uchiha Kagami didn't seem to feel that Shimura Danzo was targeting him, and continued, "Among the new generation of the village, Chishima Chiba should be the one who can take the lead."

  "uncertain."

  Senju Tobirama shook his head, "Sakumo, who is one year older than Chiba, is equally strong. It's hard to tell who will win until the end."

  "Teacher, is Hatake Sakumo really that strong?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little skeptical. "Chiba's strength is too comprehensive. Few of his peers can restrain him."

  "Comprehensiveness is a good thing, but it also has a disadvantage." Senju Tobirama shook his head and commented, "Comprehensive development is the most challenging to one's talent. If one is not careful, one will become mediocre and the future will be full of uncertainty."

  "And this kid Sakumo is specialized in one path. Although he is a little weak, he has an advantage in a one-on-one life-and-death fight."

  "Even if he is not as versatile as a well-rounded ninja in the end, before Sakumo encounters a real bottleneck, he will have few rivals at the same level."

  "Teacher, aren't you praising Sakumo too highly?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was dumbfounded. It was the first time he saw Senju Tobirama praise someone like that.

  "I don't think so." Senju Tobirama shook his head, "Hiruzen, wait and see how Sakumo behaves and you will understand that what I said is true."

  "But I still think Chiba will win." Sarutobi Hiruzen is very optimistic about Chiba Chishima, and likes him from the bottom of his heart, "And even if I lose afterwards, I still want to accept Chiba as my disciple."

  "Oh? Are you thinking of accepting a disciple now?"

  Senju Tobirama glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said bluntly, "Chiba, I have other plans, so don't even think about it, little monkey."

  "Ah?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned and blurted out, "Why, teacher?"

  "Because Qianye is a kid who has the talent to develop in all aspects. His future is more promising than that of Shumao."

  "This..." Sarutobi Hiruzen was even more confused, "Teacher, that's not what you said just now. You were always praising Hatake Sakumo."

  "I was just praising him and speaking objectively, but I didn't say that Chiba is weaker than Sakumo."

  After saying that, Tobirama Senju ignored the depressed Sarutobi Hiruzen and looked at Chishima Chiba who was sitting and playing with his granddaughter Tsunade with burning eyes, and a feeling of heat rose in his heart.
