The spectators were stunned.
They gazed at 6-year-old Seimei and then at the crater created by his Water Release Ninjutsu repeatedly.
Their mind was filled with just one thought: 'My goodness! Is he really 6 this year? What's up with this exaggeratedly powerful Ninjutsu?'
They could only say that was to be expected from the son of Senju Tobirama, whose Water Release was even more powerful than the most powerful Shinobi of Kirigakure.
Like father, like son!
"Hehehehehehehe!"
Hashirama also smiled like a goofball after watching the battle.
'Great nephew indeed.', Hashirama thought.
He, who doted his nephew to death since he was brought by his brother, was extremely happy.
Although it didn't matter to him whether his family members were talented, this was still a cruel Ninja world where strength reigned supreme.
He loved his family very much, but it was even better if the family members were also exceptionally talented.
Meanwhile, Kyojuro was sweating bullets.
He briefly looked at the devastation caused by Seimei Ninjutsu.
A slight chill ran down his spine.
If he didn't dodge in time, he wouldn't just have a few brushes and cuts. He would have suffered from a few broken bones at the very least.
'Fortunately, I dodged in time.'
However, before he had time to think further, Seimei decisively took action.
Seimei brought out three kunai in each of his hands, charged them with lightning chakra, and threw them right at Kyojuro.
Four kunai targeted his head, heart, liver, and abdomen. The other two kunai raced towards both sides of Kyojuro, cutting away the path to retreat.
The lightning-charged kunai was approaching so fast that he didn't have time to use any Ninjutsu to block or evade them.
So, he decided to take out a kunai, coated his entire body with chakra, and dodged towards his left side.
However, the speed of the kunai was lightning-fast. Plus, the electromagnetic field created by the six charged kunai made them spread out.
Although the Shinobi of this world were sharp, they weren't physicists.
Kids with minimal practical combat experience didn't know that densely packed lightning chakra-infused objects would create an electromagnetic field and repulse each other.
Kyojuro had no idea either.
So, he was surprised to see the lightning-infused kunai that targeted his heart and another kunai that tried to cut off his escape route shift slightly from their predetermined paths.
These two kunai moved further to his left.
And by the time he mapped their new trajectories, he had no leeway to dodge both of them safely.
He could only use his own kunai to block one of the incoming kunai blades while helplessly watching the other one penetrate his right shoulder.
However, he definitely underestimated the amount of lightning chakra Seimei poured at each kunai.
Even the thick chakra coating on Kyojuro's right shoulder couldn't block all the lightning chakra. The lightning chakra wreaked havoc in his body and paralyzed him for nearly one second.
Seimei took this chance to instantly dash toward Kyojuro with his sword.
Kyojuro unleashed all the chakra he had in his body to neutralize the paralysis caused by lightning and get ready to face Seimei for another round of clash.
But before he could take even one step, another Seimei quickly came out of the ground behind him and placed the sharp edge of his short sword at his throat.
The other Seimei also reached Kyojuro and pointed his lightning-infused sword at his heart.
Seeing this Kyojuro had no other choice but to admit defeat.
He sighed, dropped his kunai, and said, "I surrender."
The referee immediately declared the verdict.
"Senju Kyojuro has surrendered and can no longer continue the match. Senju Seimei Wins!!!"
As soon as the words fell, the Seimei in front of Kyojuro retracted his blade. Meanwhile, the other Seimei holding the sword on Kyojuro's throat disappeared with a puff of smoke.
Clearly, it was a Shadow Clone.
The Medical-nins also wasted no more time and quickly approached Kyojuro and Seimei.
Two medics attended Kyojuro and another one checked Seimei to see if he needed immediate attention.
However, Seimei was fine so there was no need for that.
"It was a good match. See you later."
Seimei looked toward the lying Kyojuro with a smile, made a seal of reconciliation, bid him farewell, and stepped out of the dueling arena.
Since his training exercises were over, he planned to join Hashirama and enjoy the show.
Watching others getting beaten up could truly lift one's spirit.
Meanwhile, Senju Kyojuro watched the retreating figure of Seimei and murmured, "What a ruthless bastard. I'm also a genius. So, why did it feel like I was beaten one-sidedly?"
"He isn't even 7. Such strength. Is that guy even human?"
Kyojuro's eyes flashed and he hardened his resolve to train harder.
------------------------
On the night of the same day…
Senju Tobirama asked Seimei to meet him in his room after dinner.
Seimei, like a dutiful son, obediently followed him.
And how both of them were sitting on the tatami mat, facing each other.
After 1 minute of awkward silence, Tobirama finally began speaking.
"I heard about your performance in today's joint training evaluation. You did great."
"Thank you, Father."
"Since you made me proud, it's only right that I give you an appropriate reward."
Next, Tobirama took out three scrolls from his Ninja pouch and placed them in front of Seimei.
As soon as Tobirama placed the scrolls in front of him, Seimei gazed at the scrolls with anticipation.
He knew that if his cheap father gave him "rewards", they wouldn't just be some regular everyday techniques or Ninjutsu.
Although Tobirama wouldn't provide him with S-rank or Forbidden techniques right away, they were still bound to be quite impressive.
So, he immediately asked Tobirama, "May I take a look at them, father?"
"You can.", Tobirama replied without hesitation.
Immediately, Seimei picked up one of the three scrolls and quickly scanned through it.
The more he read, the more strange his expressions became.
After putting this scroll down, he skimmed through the other two scrolls as well.
And his expression became even more strange.
He looked at the scrolls and then looked at Tobirama who had a blank expression on his face. But Seimei could clearly see his father's eyes glowing with anticipation.
Seimei couldn't understand what was going on.
He took a few deep breaths to calm his nerves.
Then with a blank face, he asked.
"Father."
"Did you, by any chance, rob the Uchiha clan?"
"Why do you have Uchiha Clan Sharingan techniques?"
