A Water Release Technique I Really Like

Seisui stood facing Obito Uchiha.

The atmosphere gradually grew tense, and the Ninja Academy students watching all held their breaths in unspoken agreement.

Obito Uchiha was no longer the classmate who sometimes acted goofy and carefree. Having awakened his Double Tomoe Sharingan, he had already put a vast distance between himself and most of the students present, creating a pitiable barrier between them.

Especially after his earlier burst of ferocity, many Ninja Academy students now saw him as possessing the imposing presence of a future Chunin squad leader, no longer someone they could casually comment on.

Obito Uchiha curled his lips, savoring the strange calm as the Double Tomoe Sharingan in his eyes slowly turned. He spread his hands.

"Seisui Uchiha, before these eyes of mine, your attacks are worthless... An Uchiha without the Sharingan cannot be compared to me."

Seisui narrowed his eyes. Rather than responding to him, he asked Tobirama Senju within him in confusion, "Does awakening the eyes have such a huge effect on someone's personality?"

"This brat awakened them because of his anger and jealousy toward you. Once the eyes awaken, the power of the dojutsu magnifies the stimulation of those emotions several times over."

Tobirama Senju stared at Obito Uchiha and said solemnly, "When a person's heart is filled with jealousy and rage, of course his temperament will change drastically, driving him toward extremes. Naturally, his words will become entirely different from before."

Seisui nodded in understanding. "Thank you, Dora-Tobirama..."

Tobirama Senju snorted. Though he did not understand what "Dora" meant, he roughly understood that it was praise, so he did not bother arguing with Seisui.

Jealousy and anger were precisely the emotions most easily amplified...

Seisui looked at Obito, who stood provocatively without even taking a fighting stance. He too spread his hands and spoke in a clear, forceful voice. "Obito, why are you angry?"

"My match with Rin followed the rules between shinobi. Although I used Genjutsu to control her, Rin still never considered giving up. She was still thinking of turning defeat into victory while I was off guard."

"If you believe that helping cushion Rin's fall while she was running and treating her injuries meant I crossed a line..."

"Then your attempt to interfere in her battle without respecting her was, in my view, a terrible act that ignored her efforts and one that truly requires an apology to her."

"You are not Rin's boyfriend. The unhealthy possessiveness in your heart has already clouded your eyes."

"Although I do not have the Sharingan, I still want to remind you... Obito, do not let emotions and power cloud your eyes. A shinobi's clear and rational heart is the most precious treasure."

Seisui's heartfelt lecture made everyone present nod in agreement.

Iruka Umino looked at Seisui with approval. He had already decided that, even if it bent the rules somewhat, he would not allow this child to be placed in danger during the coming battle.

In his eyes, those words were the embodiment of the Will of Fire!

At that moment.

Inside the Hokage Office, Hiruzen Sarutobi was also staring at the Crystal Ball on his desk with surprise. He softly sighed, "Seisui Uchiha... This is a special Uchiha. He seems like a good child..."

"We should observe him further. Perhaps he can become a link between the Uchiha Clan and the village, whose relationship is so strained..."

But Hiruzen Sarutobi's teacher rolled his eyes bluntly, openly dismissing those words.

If those words had come from an innocent, naive Ninja Academy student, Tobirama Senju might have marveled at how successfully the Will of Fire had spread.

But coming from Seisui...

He always felt that something about it was wrong.

He even had the urge to forcibly argue with this speech that was so full of the Will of Fire.

Obito Uchiha lost his composure. He secretly swept his gaze across the audience below, only to see expressions of agreement on every face, which made the turmoil in his heart grow fiercer.

To his ears, Seisui's words were unbearably grating. In summary, they could be condensed into one sentence: I, Seisui, did nothing to Rin Nohara, and you are even less qualified to tell me what I can do to her...

Why? What gave you, Seisui Uchiha, the right to say that!

Rin and I have known each other for more than two years. She cares about me very much!

You sanctimonious bastard, was I wrong to tell Rin to stay away from you!

Why was everyone nodding because of what you said!

And you still dared to criticize me!

After thinking it over.

The remaining anger in Obito Uchiha's mind was completely ignited. A blazing red light filled his eyes as he formed hand seals at a speed he had never achieved before, then drew in a deep breath with all his strength.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

A massive fireball burst from his mouth. The scorching heat made everyone's breath catch, while the explosive flames dyed the entire training ground orange-red!

Iruka Umino and Kakashi Hatake, the two examiners responsible for match safety, both had their pupils contract.

This was not a technique a Ninja Academy student should have been capable of unleashing!

Even among Chunin, the Great Fireball Obito Uchiha had unleashed was considered top-tier in power.

But Iruka Umino was an ordinary Chunin, and Kakashi Hatake was currently a shinobi who primarily attacked with Kenjutsu. More importantly, enhanced by the Sharingan, Obito Uchiha's hand seal speed had exceeded their expectations.

That meant Seisui had to face this Great Fireball alone!

Just as Iruka Umino silently regretted that he was too late and feared Seisui would be seriously injured...

A water vortex over ten meters high instantly swallowed the fireball that had been so domineering just moments ago, then surged forward with unstoppable force and engulfed Obito Uchiha entirely!

"Water Release: Water Shockwave. This is a technique I really like, a Water Release developed by the Second Hokage..." Seisui smiled as he met Obito Uchiha's eyes while he struggled in the rushing current, slowly closing his hand.

The water vortex changed shape, compressing into a dense sphere that trapped Obito Uchiha within it like a Water Prison!

Inside the Water Prison, dense currents formed chains that pulled Obito Uchiha's limbs apart from different directions, stretching his entire body into the shape of a "big" character.

Obito Uchiha's eyes were filled with disbelief. He struggled violently, bubbles gurgling from his mouth, but it was useless.

The combination of the Water Prison and water chains was not something he could resist after already being caught.

Despite the humiliating position, Obito Uchiha caught sight of Rin Nohara from the corner of his eye as he struggled. She seemed to be standing not far away.

How could Rin be allowed to see him in such an ugly state!

Obito Uchiha struggled even harder...

But his efforts were useless. The Water Prison remained quietly in place, while his limbs grew weaker and weaker as the oxygen in his body ran out...

Seisui slowly walked up before him and smiled as he met his eyes. "Not bad, Obito."
