Chapter 55: I remember he's only fourteen years old this year!

"When Seishi and Daiyue first met, the latter found himself at a loss for words. Since he first heard the name "Konoha's Kirin" from others, he had made up his mind to show everyone in Konoha that he was the most outstanding ninja of his generation. He had imagined countless scenarios for his first meeting with Seishi, but he never expected it to happen like this - his own life was saved by the person he had long considered his rival.

Through this battle, Daiyue realized that Seishi's strength was far beyond his own. "Let's go back to our campsite first. I don't know your exact whereabouts, but I guessed you might come to Amegakure for revenge, so I followed you here," said Seishi with a raised eyebrow and a faint smile.

Seishi didn't have any particular feelings toward Daiyue, neither good nor bad. When he first learned that the Third Hokage had another son besides Sarutobi Asma, he was a little surprised. The original work did not record this fact. In his impression, the Third Hokage only had one son, Sarutobi Asma.

After interacting with Daiyue directly or indirectly, Seishi realized the reason why he was not mentioned in the original work. Although Daiyue had excellent talents, he had a fatal weakness - he was too arrogant. People who are arrogant without the strength to back it up often don't last long.

Daiyue was only at the peak of the Jonin level now and had a long way to go before he could reach Kage level. But Seishi felt an unparalleled confidence from him. In the words of his past life, what was it again? Someone so ordinary, yet so confident?

He didn't know who gave Daiyue this confidence. A mere Jonin-level strength, but he thought he could rampage through the entire ninja world without fear.

Even now, Seishi, with his strength, still maintained a low-key and cautious approach. After all, he knew full well how deep the water runs in this ninja world.

Uchiha Madara, the Sage of Six Paths, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, and the Ōtsutsuki clan from beyond the heavens... any one of these terrifying beings could easily oppress the entire ninja world. It's precisely because of the existence of these individuals that Seishi does not dare to be careless in his heart.

In addition to these people, there are also the three great sanctuaries hidden deep within the ninja world. In Konoha...the strongest may not be jōnin, but perhaps even genin could be the most terrifying existence.

Seishi sighed inwardly. He was already fourteen or fifteen years old, and his displayed strength was roughly at the level of a high-level jōnin or an early-stage Kage. Even if he used all of his cards, he estimated that his strength was only around the mid-level Kage.

There is still a considerable distance from the true peak Kage, the current Third Hokage. However, in the future, Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke both reached Six Paths-level strength when they were fifteen or sixteen years old. This was much more than what Seishi had achieved.

As the carriers of Asura and Indra's wills, they were the true sons of destiny in this world. In just a few years, they went from being ordinary genin to standing at the top of the ninja world.

Even now, Seishi couldn't help but lament at how much Kishimoto had given them an overpowered hack.

"How is it? Has Seishi arrived at the front line? What is the situation now?"

The Third Hokage asked the Anbu in front of him while puffing on his pipe.

As he watched the Anbu's hesitant expression, his eyebrows furrowed and his face turned unhappy.

"What's going on? Did something unexpected happen? Could it be that Seishi hasn't left yet?"

According to his estimation, if Seishi hurried to the front line battlefield, he could arrive in half a day at the fastest speed. Even if he was slower, he would arrive in a day at most.

However, it had been about a day and a half since he notified Seishi to go to the front line.

"...It's not that Lord Seishi hasn't arrived at the front line... it's that... it's that Lord Daiyue..."

Glancing at the expression on the Third Hokage's face, the Anbu hesitated and didn't know how to tell him about this matter.
