Chapter – 777 A Lesson is a Must!

Seeing that Shisui was waiting for Kuroto's instructions, Jiraiya was once again surprised by his behavior.

The life of Uchiha Sasuke, as well as other children, is clearly at risk, even a moment's delay might lead to their death, it stands to reason that at such a critical time, Shisui should rush forward to rescue the children, however, the young Uchiha didn't do this, rather, he patiently waited for Kuroto's instruction.

If this was a normal time, then Shisui's behavior wouldn't be strange, after all, Shisui is vice-principal of the Konoha Ninja Academy, while Kuroto is the principal, so it's natural that Shisui would follow Kuroto's orders, however, this is not a normal time, and Shisui doesn't need to stick to his vice-principals duties, yet Shisui is waiting for Kuroto's instruction, this behavior is clearly abnormal.

And it's not just Uchiha Shisui, standing beside Jiraiya, Tsunade noted that even Uchiha Itachi–Uchiha Sasuke's older brother–wasn't as panicked and impatient as them, he was calmly standing beside Kuroto and seemed to be waiting for the young Hyuga's instruction, despite the fact that the boy's younger brother's life is in danger!

Noting the strange behavior of the two Uchiha, Tsunade and Jiraiya, as well as others, turned to Kuroto, and they were once again surprised to find that unlike them, Kuroto had no trace of anxiety on his face. He looked calm and collected and observed everything happening before him without showing any stress as if everything was within his expectations.

"Just a few seconds more, and it should be done." – Muttered Kuroto while holding his chin, as for the question of everyone looking at him. Kuroto didn't care at all.

Shisui and Itachi took a deep breath and nodded lightly.

The next few seconds were like forever for everyone, time passed second by second, for this entire duration the battle between the three beasts continued, and only after 40 seconds had passed away, Kuroto's lips arched in a smile and he instructed Shisui, "All right, it's time to stop this fiasco."

"It shall be done." Responded Shisui as he disappeared.

Whoosh!

ROAR!

The very next instant a loud roar resounded on the battlefield as a green full body Susano'o appeared at the centre of the sea of fire. This was undoubtedly Shisui's Susano'o and as soon as it appeared on the battlefield it held Garaga and Gamabunta with each of its hands and without putting any effort it lifted both of them into the air.

Gamabunta didn't resist and allowed the Susano'o to distance him from the battle, he had wanted to retreat long ago, the only problem was that he wasn't getting any opportunity to be able to do so. Now that he got one, he immediately used it.

Unlike Gamabunta, Garaga wasn't so cooperative and resisted viciously, "Damn Uchiha… how dare you interrupt my battle!" he roared and tried to free himself from Susano'o, only to fail and come to a sudden stop the moment his gaze met with Shisui's.

Garaga trembled in shock and fear as he found that he could no longer control his body and was at the mercy of the young Uchiha. Uchiha Shisui could do anything to him and he would be utterly helpless and unable to resist.

While Shisui dealt with Garaga and Gamabunta, Kuroto–who had unknowingly appeared on the shoulder of Shisui's Susano'o–looked at OkinaButa and lightly said, "All right that's enough, now stop!"

Kuroto's lightly said words seemed to have reached the wild boar's ears, and it came to a sudden stop.

With OkinaButa coming to a stop, Kuroto muttered, "Well that takes care of it." Then he looked at Jiraiya and asked, "Jiraiya-sama, can you please put out the fire?"

"Ah… ye-yeah!" nodded Jiraiya absentmindedly as he recovered from the shock, and after quickly weaving the hand signs, he put both his hands on the ground and shouted, 'Earth Style: Dark Swamp!'

And while Jiraiya dealt with the sea of fire, the Jonins finally recovered and couldn't help but mutter with a shocked expression, "St… Stopped so quickly?" Everyone had similar thoughts in their mind as they looked at Shisui and Kuroto.

Ignoring everyone's shocked expression, Kuroto looked at the three shocked children, and questioned in a cold tone, "Was this the duel you children had in mind when you came to me for permission?"

Kuroto's cold tone made the kids nervous and panicked.

For one, the children had yet to recover from the shock and injuries, and on top of all that Kuroto's question. Yes, despite all the protection they were given by their Summons, Naruto, Sasuke, and Neji are indeed injured. Naruto's arms seem to be broken and his hair seems to have been burnt in various parts, Sasuke seems to have lost an eyebrow and is bleeding from his left thigh, while Neji's situation isn't any different as he has also suffered burns.

Looking at their own states, and the state of the surroundings, the three children realized that they had caused some serious trouble and lowered their heads, not daring to meet Kuroto's gaze.

Noting their silence, Kuroto said, "The three of you just acquired powerful Summons and started to show off… What is the result of all this? The answer is right in front of you all… The three of you don't have the slightest control over your summons… Compared to acquiring power, it is more important to know how to use it, and when to use it! If you don't know this, then not only will you hurt yourselves, but you will also hurt your allies!"

Neji apologized, "Sensei… I… I am sorry!"

With Neji taking the lead in apologizing, Naruto and Sasuke also followed, "Kuroto Sensei… we are sorry!"

Having experienced the frightening battle, all three understood that they were powerless and, therefore, had no control over their Summons. In such a scenario, if they were to use their summons, then it would simply be asking for death!

Looking at the three children with frightened and apologetic faces, Kuroto said, "I hope you won't forget this lesson." And added, "Of course, just because I forgive you doesn't mean the three of you will not be punished… the three of you will be responsible for cleaning the entire Ninja Academy for the next 3 months, I will inform Iruka Sensei of your punishment as well, am I clear?"

"Yes!" the three children nodded with a dejected expression on their faces.

"Good." Nodded Kuroto, and said, "Now go and send those three back to their homes, and return back to the village."

The three kids nodded and went towards their summons.

Watching them do as he instructed, Kuroto nodded in satisfaction. He knew very well that if the three of them didn't suffer, then they wouldn't learn their lesson. That's why, Kuroto didn't save them immediately, allowed them to suffer, and also punished them with cleaning duty for the next three months. This had nothing to do with him trying to save 3 months of cleaning charges, this is for their own good. Yes, this is necessary to make sure that they don't repeat the same mistake.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

At this time, with the sound of breaking through wind, several figures arrived on the battlefield. These people are none other than Sandaime Hokage and his Anbus. Of course, there are also several other Konoha shinobi with them who rushed to the scene knowing that a battle has broken out here.

As this group of shinobi arrived on the battlefield, they noted the three behemoths. Seeing to familiar creatures, everyone was surprised, Sandaime himself was confused and asked Jiraiya, "What's going on?"

Jiraiya sighed and explained everything to Hiruzen.

Upon learning the ins and outs of the matter, and realizing that the previous commotion was caused by a duel between three children and their three gigantic Summons, Sandaime was speechless and scolded the two Sannins for allowing such a thing to happen on their watch.

Jiraiya and Tsunade apologized with helpless expressions, "We are sorry." Actually, they weren't.

Sarutobi shook his head helplessly and called Kuroto, "Kuroto, the trainees are prohibited from engaging in such dangerous duels in the future."

Kuroto nodded with a smile, "Don't worry Hokage-sama, I allowed this once in order to teach them a lesson, there won't be any similar case happening in the future."

"I hope so." Said Sarutobi as a loud cracking sound resounded on the battlefield.

Everyone, including Kuroto, Hiruzen, and Jiraiya looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was just the sound of petrification wearing off from OkinaButa's body.

It is not uncommon to be able to resist petrification caused by Natural Energy, but this doesn't mean resisting the invasion of Natural energy is an easy task, seeing that the wild boar was able to do so with such ease, Jiraiya was genuinely surprised.

Sandaime was the same, and asked Kuroto with a serious expression, "Kuroto… how did Neji obtain such a powerful Summon?"

…

On the other side

Upon learning that this entire fiasco was caused by a bunch of kids showing off their summons, the four Kages stopped.

Hovering in the sky, Tsuchikage held his hand behind his aged back and muttered in a melancholic tone of voice, "I envy Hokage. There is no end to the emergence of talent in Konoha. It truly is a cradle of geniuses."

Hearing this from the mouth of Tsuchikage–who lost much of his village not long ago–the other Kages couldn't help but sympathize with him.

In fact, it wasn't just Tsuchikage, Raikage, Mizukage, and Kazekage… all had similar thoughts in their mind. All of them envy Hokage. In this era when each of their villages had suffered massive terrorist attacks, they all understand the impact caused by the deaths of youngins.

The future of the village is affected by the deaths of the young ones. And no village is spared from this fate except Konoha–that–despite suffering numerous enemy attacks has no end to the emergence of talent.
