It didn't take long for Tobirama and Seimei to go to the Konoha Private Training Ground No.1.
Once they entered, Seimei could see 6 Shinobi busy doing their own things.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo were busy discussing Sealing techniques.
While Sealing techniques might not be as flashy as other Ninja arts, their importance could not be denied.
You could use sealing techniques to create barriers, seal enemies, disrupt chakra flow, trap entities, create trackers, control the battlefield, and do many other things that traditional Ninjutsu couldn't even hope to accomplish.
In the original Narutoverse, Hidan's immortality and Hiruko's Chimera technique were also the results of very advanced Juinjutsu sealing techniques.
The storage scrolls, explosive tags, and Flying Thunder God Technique were also products of Sealing techniques.
I must also study and master the Sealing techniques. I can ask Aunt Mito for lessons to improve my proficiency quickly.
After all, without learning Sealing techniques, mastering the Flying Thunder God Technique would be nothing more than a pipe dream.
But that has to wait a few months. I have got my hands full right now.
Seimei thought silently and moved his head to watch what the others were doing.
Uchiha Kagami was practicing Kenjutsu moves on his own. If Seimei's guess was right, this Kenjutsu style should be Uchiha-style Kenjutsu: Sun Halo.
This Kenjutsu technique combined the deadly Uchiha-style Kenjutsu and the application of Fire Nature Transformation to produce devastating attacks.
The Fire Release chakra-infused blade could cut through muscles, tendons, and bones like a hot knife running through a block of butter.
The blade of the Sun Halo emitted enough heat to literally cook the internal organs if the blade could enter the enemy's torso.
Akimichi Torifu was…uh…eating chips?
Utatane Koharu was practicing medical Ninjutsu on a fish.
And the last one, Mitokado Homura, was training his Earth Release Ninjutsu.
However, at the next moment, all of them stopped what they were doing and moved their necks to see who had entered the training ground so suddenly.
As soon as they saw Senju Tobirama, they packed up quickly and flickered to him.
They stood in front of Tobirama and greeted in unison, ""Good morning, Sensei.""
Tobirama nodded slightly and spoke with a hint of satisfaction, "Hmm."
"I see you have been training well and not slacking off."
Danzo suddenly spoke up, "Yes, Sensei. I have been training hard and have made a lot of progress. I have also learned a few new Wind Release Ninjutsu."
Seeing Danzo eager to please their Sensei, the other five couldn't help but show a little contempt and then shook their heads while sighing in exasperation.
Tobirama replied, "It's good to see you in a high spirit, Danzo."
"Today, I have come here to check on your progress."
"If you all truly made significant progress, I don't mind teaching you a few new techniques."
Hearing this, their eyes showed a mix of excitement and anticipation.
After all, who would want to miss learning new moves and techniques from someone like Senju Tobirama—the inventor of Forbidden techniques, master of Ninjutsu, the brother of the God of Shinobi, and a bona fide Super Kage level Shinobi?
If they missed such a chance, they wouldn't be able to sleep.
Tobirama's voice rang once again, "Alright. Enough talk."
"Let's start the assessment."
"Danzo and Monkey (Hiruzen), you two go first."
"You will be sparring with each other with everything you have."
"Since I'm here, there's no need to worry about suffering from fatal wounds. I will use the Flying Thunder God Technique to protect you from lethal danger."
The excited Hiruzen and the cold-faced Danzo looked at each other.
Then they replied together, "As you command, Sensei."
However, before they could move, Danzo gazed toward Seimei and asked Tobirama.
"But Sensei, is it okay for him to be here?"
It was only natural for Danzo not to recognize Seimei.
The last time the disciples of Tobirama saw Seimei was after the birth of Tsunade, almost a year ago.
At that time, they just introduced their names.
And now, almost a year later, most of them had completely forgotten who Seimei was.
Except for Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uchiha Kagami, the others didn't even remember Seimei's name.
Among these six, only Uchiha Kagami truly knows the real identity of Seimei.
After all, he heard a lot about Seimei from his clan's rising genius, Uchiha Reina.
So, Kagami knew very well that Seimei was the son of their Sensei, Senju Tobirama.
Of course, he didn't know that Seimei was their teacher's adopted son.
In fact, apart from a few Elders of the Senju clan, no one knew anything about it.
But even if others knew, it wouldn't have mattered.
After all, Tobirama truly loved his son, and the Elders also treated him like a true heir of Senju.
As soon as Danzo finished speaking, he saw the kid watching him closely with his mesmerizing ocean-blue glowing eyes.
These gem-like blue eyes contained two overlapping white flower patterns that rotated slowly in a clockwise and counterclockwise direction, respectively.
However, these two beautiful, glowing eyes were looking at Danzo with utter indifference.
It was as if these eyes were gazing at nothing but a cold corpse.
This realization chilled Danzo to his very core.
Others didn't notice this brief exchange, but Tobirama clearly saw everything.
You can't just fool the senses of a Super Kage-level Shinobi.
But Tobirama didn't care.
He knew very well that Seimei didn't like Danzo at all.
And Tobirama also found Danzo's extreme anti-Uchiha behavior a little repulsive.
Tobirama might curse Uchiha every once in a while, but he didn't hate them too much.
After all, he had personally killed most Uchiha Shinobi who killed his brothers and other close kin.
Sure, the Senju and Uchiha clans were enemies for generations.
But that was in the past.
Now, they were a part of Konoha and comrades of every Konoha Shinobi.
You might not like them, but you have to respect them.
The Uchiha clan was one of the co-founders of Konoha alongside the Senju clan.
Still, Tobirama tolerated Danzo for now.
After all, he was still a disciple that Tobirama nurtured personally for nearly 10 years.
So, as long as Danzo didn't do something completely out of line, Tobirama wouldn't take any action against him.
After the brief exchange between Danzo and Seimei ended, Tobirama introduced Seimei to his disciples.
"Yes. He can be here."
"He is Senju Seimei. And he's also my only son."
"Today, I brought him here so he could witness how true Elites train and fight."
Everyone, including Danzo, nodded and said that they understood.
Next, everyone cleared the field for Hiruzen and Danzo.
They were going to spar and show their Sensei how much they had progressed since their last lessons.
Seimei went to Uchiha Kagami and Akimichi Torifu to watch the spar.
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura formed another group and stood near them.
Near the vast clearing, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo were standing while facing each other, waiting for Tobirama, who was acting as the referee, to signal the beginning of the duel.
Tobirama watched them silently and said, "Now, form the Seal of Confrontation."
Hiruzen and Danzo made the Seal of Confrontation almost simultaneously.
As soon as they did it, they heard Tobirama's voice again.
"And…"
"Begin"
