The Wind is Cold in Early Spring

As per Nagasawa's agreement with the Third Hokage, he took Kabuto to the Hokage building and entered the office of the Third Hokage.

"Third-sama, I have brought Kabuto."

"Kabuto, this is Third Hokage, also known as Professor. He is proficient in most of Ninjutsu in Konoha." After entering the office, Nagasawa briefly introduced the Third Hokage to Kabuto.

"It's just an exaggeration. I merely know a little more Ninjutsu than average people," The Third Hokage said humbly.

"Sarutobi-sensei." Kabuto very sensibly addressed the Third Hokage as sensei.

"Mhmm." The Third Hokage stroked his mustache and revealed a kind smile.

'This child is not bad. He looks very clever and not shady either. I wonder if he has any bad habits.'

"I still have something to discuss with Minato, so I'll have to excuse myself. I'm sorry to trouble you, Third-sama." Nagasawa said respectfully to make sure the Third Hokage teach Kabuto.

"Don't mention it. I'm Kabuto's teacher, after all. It's my job." The Third Hokage nodded and smiled.

After that, Nagasawa stroked Kabuto's head and walked out of the Third Hokage's office.

"Kabuto, although I have already heard about you from Nagasawa, can you introduce yourself to me so that I can understand you better and make a more efficient training menu for you?" The Third Hokage said.

Kabuto nodded and quickly said, "My name is Kabuto Yakushi. I like training and making friends. I hate overly sweet food. My Nature Type is Wind, Water, and Earth..."

After listening to Kabuto's self-introduction, the Third Hokage secretly nodded. Judging from what Kabuto said, it seemed that he was a hardworking and cheerful child.

Although having three Nature Types was not as amazing as having five, it was already rare as it was. After some training, Kabuto might have the chance of mastering all five Nature Types. The Third Hokage hoped that Kabuto could inherit his specialty of using all Five Nature Types.

"Kabuto, come with me. It is inconvenient to teach you here." The Third Hokage got up with a smile and left the office with Kabuto, walking to the public training ground in Konoha.

The Third Hokage was completely free. He actually came to his office everyday so that he didn't have to see his son. 

Asuma was born when the Third Hokage was in his forties.

Because of that, he especially doted on Asuma.

Unexpectedly, this excessive love was a bad thing. Instead of inheriting his Five Nature Types, Asuma inherited his bad habit of smoking.

In addition, he was in a rebellious age, so he basically loved annoying his father.

'I hope I can be a little wiser now that I'm at this age.' The Third Hokage thought in his heart.

Although he was the famous Third Hokage, he was just an ordinary father when it came to educating children.

Eventually, the Third Hokage and Kabuto arrived at the 12th training ground.

"I heard from Nagasawa before that you're stuck in your Wind Nature Transformation training." The Third Hokage said.

Kabuto nodded, then said, "Yes, Brother Nagasawa made a training menu for Wind and Water Nature Transformation. But now, compared to the Water Nature Type training, my Wind Nature Type training is falling behind. "

The Third Hokage thought for a moment and said, "Can you show me your Ninjutsu now?"

"Yes." Kabuto replied.

"Show me your Wind Release and Water Release first."

Kabuto nodded and took a few steps back. He then made a series of hand seals!

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

As Kabuto quickly completed his hand seals, a thick stream of water gushed around Kabuto and finally formed a ferocious water dragon.

Upon seeing the Water Dragon Bullet Technique that Kabuto used, a trace of surprise flashed across the Third Hokage's face.

Being able to use Water Dragon Bullet Technique at such an age without any water source nearby was more than good enough. On top of that, Kabuto could actually simplify hand seals.

The Third Hokage was a little curious. Where did Kabuto learn this move? Was it from Kosuke? It seemed that Kosuke had been recruited by Nagasawa to a new Division called the Special Combat Division, so it was also possible.

"Wind Release: Great breakthrough!"

Then, Kabuto used Wind Release, blowing out a two-meter-tall small whirlwind.

Seeing Kabuto's Wind Release, the Third Hokage shook his head. Although being able to use Wind Release at his age where most of his peers still focused on the basics was more than good enough, Kabuto's Wind Release was indeed pale in comparison to his Water Release.

"It seems that your Wind Release indeed needs some polishing." The Third Hokage said.

"What is your current training menu?" The Third Hokage asked.

Kabuto told the Third Hokage about the training menu that Nagasawa had devised for him.

The Third Hokage thought for a moment and said, "Since your Water Nature Type is good, you should cut the time you spend on your Water Nature Type training and spend it to polish your Wind Nature Type. If you want to learn more than one Nature Type, you can't have either of them weaker than the other.

Take the Third Hokage for an example. Each of his Nature Type's mastery was top-notch.

Bloodline Limit was nothing but the combination of two Nature Types.

If the combination of two Nature Types was not as good as Bloodline Limit, then what about three, four, or even five?

"Yes." Kabuto nodded and then asked curiously,

"Sarutobi-sensei, I heard from Brother Nagasawa that you can use all five Nature Types. Do you train Bloodline Limit?"

The smile on the Third Hokage's face disappeared, and he cleared his throat, "I didn't have any Bloodline Limit, because there is no need for that. My Ninjutsu combination is better than most Bloodline Limits."

Following that, the Third Hokage demonstrated the strength of Ninjutsu combination to Kabuto. "You are still young. You should focus on combining two Nature Types first, like the wind and water that you are best at."

Kabuto nodded. He had already begun to think of a way to combine his Water Release and Wind Release.

Combining Water Dragon Bullet Technique with Great Breakthrough into a huge whirlwind with a water dragon inside.

No… it might look good, but it wasn't that useful in actual combat.

What could the wind do to help water?

At this time, a strong wind suddenly blew, and the wind of early spring with a slight cold left from winter hit Kabuto's face.

Kabuto's eyes lit up when he felt the cold wind. Water and Wind? I got a good idea.
