The Third Hokage was about to lead Shiyu out when they were blocked by an uninvited guest.
That person's right eye was bandaged, his expression somewhat grim. He looked at Shiyu with disbelief and said, "People of the Uchiha Clan, Hiruzen, have you truly thought this through?"
"This must be Danzo!" Shiyu guessed.
"Danzo, he's different," the Hokage defended, looking at Shiyu.
"I suspect last night's uproar about the missing Uchiha Clan members has something to do with him as well!" Danzo narrowed his eyes and questioned.
"Enough, Danzo! I've already taken him as my disciple!" the Hokage retorted in defense.
"Hiruzen. I hope you haven't forgotten Uchiha Madara! Sooner or later, you'll regret this!" Danzo warned before slowly leaving the Hokage's office.
"Don't mind him, that's Danzo, the head of the Anbu training program, one of the Hokage's advisors, and also my former teammate," the Hokage said with an apologetic expression.
"It's fine," Shiyu replied naturally.
Soon, the Third Hokage and Shiyu arrived at the training grounds.
"Can you show me your ninjutsu?" the Third Hokage asked with a smile.
"Yes!" Shiyu quickly formed hand seals.
"As expected! Such fast hand seal speed!" the Third Hokage couldn't help but praise. Knowing that Shiyu was using a fire-style attack ninjutsu, the Third Hokage used his own water-style jutsu.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!" Shiyu quickly spat out a large fireball.
"Water Style: Water Wall!" The Third Hokage also completed his hand seals, and a water wall quickly appeared before him, completely blocking the Great Fireball Technique.
Shiyu immediately activated his White Rinnegan and copied this B-rank water-style ninjutsu.
"Not bad!" the Third Hokage praised, then continued, "As expected, your chakra reserves are immense, and your chakra control is extremely precise. Even your hand seals are swift, and your ninjutsu usage can be described as masterful. It's clear you practice often."
"Since that's the case, I won't hold back. Since you want to learn Compound Ninjutsu, you'll need to learn the attack ninjutsu of the five elements."
"The jutsu you just used was C-rank, but today I will teach you B-rank ninjutsu with greater destructive power!"
"Un-Wu-Si-Chen-Zi-Chou-Yin" the Third Hokage quickly formed hand seals, while Shiyu beside him instantly memorized the sequence of seals and the chakra flow around the Third Hokage.
"Fire Style: Fire Dragon Bullet!" The Third Hokage spat out the Fire Dragon Bullet from his mouth in one go. The scorching flames instantly ignited the surrounding flammable materials. The flames danced like a ferocious dragon, rushing forward, to the left, and to the right. The direction of the dragon was controlled by the Third Hokage's chakra.
"Although it's a B-rank ninjutsu, its power is astonishing. Not only is the range wide, making it difficult for the target to dodge, but the temperature of the flames will instantly turn enemies to ash. However, it requires extremely high control to make the flames obey your will, which is very difficult and still demands high chakra control," the Hokage explained before saying, "Now, you try!"
Everything that had just happened had already been deeply recorded in Shiyu's mind by his White Rinnegan, so he felt no fear at all.
"Un-Wu-Si-Chen-Zi-Chou-Yin, Fire Style: Fire Dragon Bullet!" Shiyu performed the standard Fire Dragon Bullet almost identically to the Third Hokage, quickly feeling the dragon's uncontrollable ferocity.
"Control the fire dragon with your chakra!" the Third Hokage said excitedly. He had never expected his new disciple to perform the Fire Dragon Bullet so perfectly on his first try.
"Don't let the fire dragon lose control! Make it attack straight ahead!" the Hokage reminded him again.
Shiyu struggled a bit at first, but he quickly found the feeling of controlling his chakra. Once he found the feeling of controlling the fire dragon, he directed the fire dragons from the three directions to attack straight ahead simultaneously.
"Amazing! To wield fire-style ninjutsu so proficiently on your first try! I'm truly fortunate to have a disciple like you!" Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed overjoyed, as if he had instantly forgotten all the unpleasantness of the day.
"Strike while the iron is hot! I'll teach you water-style ninjutsu next!"
"It originally required forty-four seals, but due to the Second Hokage's improvements, the Water Dragon Bullet only needs three seals! Watch!"
The Third Hokage quickly formed the three seals, and a water dragon appeared behind him, surging forward.
"Inject a large amount of chakra into the water, then condense the water into a dragon form to attack the enemy. Of course, you can also spray it directly from your mouth!"
"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!" The Third Hokage finally finished.
Without the Third Hokage needing to say anything, Shiyu had already instantly completed the hand seals and released the jutsu.
"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!" Shiyu directly spat out the water-style jutsu from his mouth, and it instantly transformed into the form of a water dragon, launching a fierce assault forward.
"That's right!" the Third Hokage continued excitedly, "Water style is like this. Let's talk about earth style next!"
"Earth Style: Earth Dragon Bullet! Transform mud into a dragon form to attack enemies!" The Third Hokage once again used the Earth Dragon Bullet.
Shiyu once again grasped the essence of the Earth Dragon Bullet. Next, for the Wind Dragon Bullet and Lightning Dragon Bullet, Shiyu mastered them instantly.
"I originally intended to teach you one ninjutsu, but I didn't expect you to learn the Dragon Bullet Techniques of all five elements! Your talent is even higher than Orochimaru's!" the Third Hokage couldn't help but praise as he looked at Shiyu.
Just as Shiyu was about to continue learning the Third Hokage's ultimate techniques, three Anbu suddenly appeared.
Seeing the three Anbu, Shiyu knew today was probably a bust.
As expected, the Third Hokage said, "You should go back first. Don't try to swallow too much at once. Go back and practice and familiarize yourself with these B-rank ninjutsu of the five elements. Once mastered, they will be very practical!" Hiruzen Sarutobi was afraid Shiyu would be too eager for quick success.
"Yes! Teacher Sarutobi!" Shiyu left the training ground.
Shiyu's mood could be described as excited.
"Not only the five Dragon Bullets, but I also learned the Water Style: Water Wall!"
"My current ninjutsu reserves are enough for me to take down half of the Jonin!" Shiyu excitedly returned home, only to find two teammates and Xiao Xing there.
"Huh? Why are you guys here?" Shiyu asked, looking at Kakashi Nao and Hinata Kurenai.
"Xiao Xing, why are you here too?" Shiyu asked.
