Their Own Choice

Isamu Uchiha used his sword to deflect the Shuriken that was flying toward him then quickly retreated while quickly forming hand seals.

In terms of swordsmanship and Shuriken Throwing, he was clearly inferior to Kabuto, so he had to use his trump card, Ninjutsu!

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Isamu Uchiha gathered Chakra in his throat and spewed intense flame. Soon, a huge fireball was formed.

"He used Fire Release! That kid called Kabuto Yakushi is really strong. He can actually force Isamu Uchiha to use his Flame Release even though he's just a first year." Some students praised.

Isamu Uchiha was underestimating Kabuto at first, but he could no longer afford to do so in this situation.

"Great Fireball Technique is Uchiha's signature Ninjutsu. Although he is only a Rank-C Ninjutsu, it is very powerful. I wonder how Kabuto Yakushi will deal with it." Someone began the discussion.

While the crowd was in heated discussion, Kabuto also thought of how to defeat Isamu Uchiha.

"Water Release, Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

Kabuto quickly formed hand seals, and a large amount of water quickly appeared around Kabuto. The water continued to rise and surround Kabuto. Soon, it turned into a giant dragon made of water.

"This is the Second Hokage's simplified seals. Impossible! And he's so young."

Kosuke's casual smile disappeared. He looked at Kabuto Yakushi in disbelief.

His Water Release was taught by Tobirama Senju himself, so Kosuke also learned Tobirama Senju's simplified hand seals.

Ordinary Water Dragon Bullet Technique required 44 seals, while Tobirama Senju only needed four seals to use it.

Although his understanding of Water Release was not as profound as Tobirama, he managed to  simplify it to six hand seals, and that was more than amazing.

The essence of doing hand seals was to concentrate Chakra. The more proficient one was in the corresponding Nature Type, the easier it was to cut the hand seals.

Kabuto Yakushi was actually able to reduce it to seven hand seals at this age. Even if he had a teacher to teach him, his own talent was undeniable.

However, Kosuke still couldn't figure out where Kabuto learned it from.

Kosuke quickly cast it aside. It didn't matter where he learned it from. Why would he still dwell about these things at this age?

The huge Water Dragon Bullet Technique soon collided with Great Fireball Technique. 

Sizzle! 

As the water crashed into the flame, evaporation occurred. However, in the end, Water Dragon Bullet Technique was much larger than Great Fireball Technique. Water Dragon Bullet Technique continuously overwhelmed Great Fireball Technique, pressing onto Isamu Uchiha.

Soon, Great Fireball Technique was dispersed under the attack of the water dragon. Although the Water Dragon Bullet Technique was quite weakened after the clash, it was still heading toward Isamu Uchiha.

"Even his Ninjutsu is so powerful..." Seeing his own Great Fireball Technique was overwhelmed by Kabuto's Water Dragon Bullet Technique, Isamu Uchiha was dumbfounded.

Kabuto bested him at Sword Technique, Shuriken Throwing, and now even Ninjutsu.

'Which of us is in the sixth grade?' Could it be that you already started training in your mother's womb?' Isamu Uchiha was dumbfounded.

Even though Isamu Uchiha had given up hope, he still planned to cut the Water Dragon Bullet Technique with his sword. Unfortunately, he was not strong enough and was sent flying instead before Masato Uchiha jumped to catch him.

"Masato-san..." Isamu Uchiha lowered his head. He felt that he had humiliated Uchiha Clan because of this.

He was clearly older than Kabuto, but lost miserably after challenging him. If word got out, he would be a laughingstock.

"Don't mind it. That kid is no ordinary kid. He almost instantly dispelled my Genjutsu. It's normal that you can't beat him." Masato Uchiha smiled and patted Isamu Uchiha on the shoulder.

Masato Uchiha felt that it was nothing to be embarrassed about. Win or losing was normal in a battle. Moreover, Kabuto was no ordinary kid. He might have received personal training from Nagasawa.

Seeing that Isamu Uchiha had been defeated so easily, the crowd fell into a silence.

It might not be true to say that Isamu Uchiha was the strongest among them, but he was definitely one of the strongest among them, and that Isamu Uchiha had been defeated so thoroughly. Even if the rest of them tried to challenge Kabuto, would they really have a chance to defeat him?

At this time, Nagasawa walked out with a smile and said, "You should've listened to me. The current Kabuto Yakushi is not someone you can defeat. Because of some reasons, Kabuto Yakushi learned Water Breathing in advance, so his slash is much stronger than yours. But as I said, you all are free to try during the next three months. You can learn Breathing Styles first, build up your strength, and then challenge him.

"Now if there are no other questions, choose the mentor you like."

Nagasawa's words rekindled the students' hope.

That was right. Kabuto had already learned Breathing Styles, while they hadn't. Once they learned Breathing Styles, their strength will increase drastically, while Kabuto Yakushi might not be able to improve much in the next three months.

After all, he was so strong as it was, so it was impossible for him to get stronger that quickly.

Therefore, everyone obediently chose their mentor.

"I'm sorry, what I said earlier causes you trouble." Hayate Gekkō apologized to Kabuto.

"It doesn't matter. You are just telling the truth. I am indeed the first to wake up." Kabuto smiled, indicating that he did not mind.

After apologizing to Kabuto, Hayate Gekkō felt much more relieved. He then brought his good friend Yūgao Uzuki to Wind Breathing mentor, Hayama Shirakumo.

"Hello, Shirakumo-sensei. I would love to learn Wind Breathing from you," Hayate Gekkō said.

"Me too," Yūgao Uzuki said.

"Yes." Hayama Shirakumo nodded, indicating for the two to stand behind him.

Most of the people on the field quickly chose their own mentors.

Most chose Flame Breathing, especially Hatsumi Uchiha and Inari Uchiha.

Although everyone said that they hated strict teachers, their bodies were honest. In order to become stronger, they wouldn't be picky.

Instead, it was Hayama Shirakumo and Kosuke who couldn't be picky.

Hayama Shirakumo himself had said that he had no teaching experience and might not be able to teach well, so many people were reluctant to learn from him.

Kosuke, on the other hand, seemed too weak because of his age.

A youth with a long and narrow scar across his nose looked left and right. Finally, he walked up to Kosuke and said,

"Kosuke-sensei, I want to learn Water Breathing from you!"

Kosuke smiled and replied, "Okay, I will do my best to teach you."
