Uncle-Master

"Katsuhira!? Are you alright!?" Teacher Suzuki immediately confirmed.

"I can still go on!" Katsuhira roared, seemingly extremely unwilling.

"I didn't expect this guy to have such perseverance, it actually surprises me a bit." Shigure had originally thought he had won for sure, not expecting that Katsuhira, who had fallen into the swamp, still wanted to resist.

"Raiton: Chidori!" Surprisingly, Katsuhira Yoshida was still struggling to use Raiton to break free from the Yellow Springs Swamp's grip.

However, the predicament did not change much because he used Raiton.

"I didn't expect you to know Raiton ninjutsu? As far as I know, in Konohagakure, having Chakra with lightning and water affinities is quite rare!" Shigure then shook his head and said, "Never mind, since you're still not giving up, I'll give you another good thing!"

Afterward, he quickly formed hand seals again.

When Shigure finished the hand seals, he jumped off the Doryūheki he had summoned and shouted in mid-air:

"Fūton: Fūryūdan no Jutsu!"

Suzuki also immediately said, "This is!? The Third Hokage's ninjutsu! A-rank Fūryūdan no Jutsu!? Could it be

"Stop! Stop it! You'll kill him!" Suzuki also shouted loudly, trying to stop Shigure from attacking further.

However, ninjutsu, once initiated, cannot be easily stopped.

A wind dragon opened its mouth, roaring as it fiercely attacked Katsuhira.

Before the wind dragon even touched Katsuhira, it had already blown him to the ground as he attempted to use Raiton.

The wind dragon, with unstoppable momentum, attacked Katsuhira in one go.

"That's enough! We surrender!" Saori Suzuki hurriedly shouted in fear, not expecting a Genin to be able to threaten her student's life.

Even though she had already used ninjutsu, it was unfortunately too late to recall it.

Shigure tried his best to divert the ninjutsu, to avoid Katsuhira's body, but the ninjutsu's power and range were too great. Even though he had reduced the amount of Chakra, it could still cause unpredictable damage to Katsuhira.

"Danger!" A voice came from behind Shigure. In an instant, a yellow flash streaked through, causing slight spatial distortions.

"Flying Thunder God Technique!"

When Katsuhira reappeared, he was already in a safe area.

The Yellow Springs Swamp where Katsuhira had been was also blown to smithereens, showing the power of Shigure's ninjutsu.

And before them stood a blond man wearing a blue bodysuit and an Anbu uniform underneath.

He appeared between Shigure and Suzuki.

"Teacher Minato Namikaze, thank you! And Uchiha Shigure, thank you for stopping." Saori Suzuki was not foolish; she knew Minato had saved her student, but without Shigure holding back, even Minato would have had difficulty saving him.

"Well, please don't provoke us again in the future? Otherwise, casualties are inevitable during sparring." Shigure also left a threatening remark, making Saori Suzuki somewhat embarrassed.

"Teacher Suzuki, you're welcome. Were you sparring?" Minato Namikaze said.

He then immediately looked at Shigure and asked, "Excuse me, I had to intervene to save him. After all, he's a Genin of Konoha. What is your identity? Are you a newly promoted Jonin? Why would you attack a Genin?"

"Uh..." Suzuki was also too embarrassed to interject and could only silently lead her three Genin students to the side and wait.

"Shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking others?" Shigure asked, crossing his arms with a hint of arrogance.

However, Minato could tell that Shigure had no ill intentions, so he put away the special kunai with a jutsu formula drawn on it and scratched his head apologetically. "Oh, I'm sorry, it was my mistake. My name is Minato Namikaze, the Jonin leader of the Minato Namikaze Squad."

Shigure didn't dislike people who spoke humbly and politely, so he dropped his impolite attitude and replied, "I'm not some Jonin. My name is Uchiha Shigure, a member of Team Seven, Hizashi Hyuga's squad, and the captain of our Genin team."

"What?!" Minato Namikaze couldn't believe it at all, as if he had heard something impossible.

"You're a Genin?!" Minato Namikaze asked in surprise.

"Yeah, is there a problem?" Shigure inwardly wanted to laugh as he asked back, seemingly having guessed Minato's reaction long ago.

"It's nothing. I followed you all the way here, thinking you were a Jonin. That being said, being a Genin at your age is more appropriate. However, based on your strength and speed just now, even if you told me you were a Jonin, I would have believed you." Minato Namikaze said with admiration.

Then, Minato Namikaze pointed to the traces of Shigure's ninjutsu usage. "Did you use these ninjutsu? Isn't this my teacher's Yellow Springs Swamp?"

"It's terrifying! The entire training ground is destroyed! Are you really just a Genin?" Minato Namikaze said in disbelief once again.

Shigure looked at him and replied with a hint of mischief, "By the way, Minato, I suddenly remembered something.

"We have another relationship! If we go by seniority, you should call me Uncle-Master!"

"Uncle-Master? My master is Jiraiya-sama, one of the Sannin. Jiraiya's master is the Third Hokage-sama. Could it be that you are the new disciple that Lord Hiruzen Sarutobi took in, as mentioned by Master Jiraiya!?" Minato Namikaze asked in surprise.

Not many people knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi had taken in a new disciple, and no one would believe that the Third Hokage, who upheld the Second Hokage's will and was wary of the Uchiha Clan, would take in a disciple from the Uchiha Clan.

However, Jiraiya had informed Minato of this matter in a letter long ago.

"Heh heh, it seems Senior Brother Jiraiya has already told you." Shigure smiled and nodded. "Come on! Call me Uncle-Master!"

Minato Namikaze gave an awkward smile. It felt strange for a young man around 20 years old to call a child Uncle-Master.

However, Minato eventually called out cleverly, "Little Uncle-Master!"

"What a smart kid." Shigure didn't mind Minato's little thoughts, because being able to have the future Fourth Hokage call him Uncle-Master was truly a comfortable feeling.

"Teacher Minato! You ran too fast!"

"I'm about to puke from running!"

"Obito! If it weren't for you dragging us down, we would have caught up to Teacher Minato long ago!"

"Alright, Kakashi! Don't blame Obito! He just wanted to kindly help an old lady cross the road."

At this moment, three Genin arrived. Shigure also saw the other members of Minato Namikaze's squad. Every single one of them was someone who would turn the ninja world upside down.

"Teacher Minato? Were you fighting someone here? This is Training Ground 4, right? How did it become like this!"
