Sealing Jutsu Sensei

"This is a stable one."

After hearing Kushina's victory declaration, Natsuhiko's first reaction was this.

At the same time, he sincerely admired Kushina as a hero for daring to utter the forbidden words "Candle in the wind" during the duel.

In the world of Yu-Gi-Oh! animation, anyone daring to say these words to their opponent would have grass growing on their grave by now...

So, he didn't feel the slightest bit of panic about the overwhelmingly unfavourable situation before him.

He even had the mood to analyze Kushina's moves from the previous round.

"Kushina, you actually didn't use Uchiha Madara to trade off my Senju Hashirama, but chose to attack directly. It seems you're confident in ending the battle next round."

This means that Kushina already has a way to kill Natsuhiko in the next round, so she doesn't care about the damage he inflicts in this round.

"Hmph, hmph, well, you didn't design this game for nothing; your reasoning surely is impeccable."

Kushina, full of herself, didn't mind revealing her trump card to Natsuhiko. She flipped over three exactly the same cards from her hand to show him.

"This is..." Natsuhiko looked strange.

"Yes, this is my killing move—Great Fireball Jutsu!"

[Ninjutsu: Fire-Style · Great Fireball Jutsu]

[Cost: 2]

[33.3% chance to deal 3 damage]

[Introduction: A Fire-Style Ninjutsu invented by the Uchiha Clan, widely spread in the Ninja World. Due to its difficulty to hit, it's also known as the Art of Benevolence.]

"Although each card has only a 33.3% chance of success, I happen to have three in my hand. When added together, isn't it practically 100%?"

Natsuhiko: "..."

There were too many loopholes in that statement, leaving him unsure where to start with his criticisms.

However, for the little ninjas watching on the sidelines, Kushina's words seemed so logical that they thought Natsuhiko-sensei was probably in trouble.

"She is worthy of the woman who once dominated the Academy. Isn't Natsuhiko-sensei not an opponent for her?"

Some senior students started shivering.

Kushina's performance made them recall the fear of being dominated by the Red Hot-Blooded Habanero.

Even the lower-grade students who didn't know Kushina were infected by this atmosphere and began to worry about Natsuhiko-sensei.

Natsuhiko's silhouette seemed particularly tragic for a moment, like a lone hero challenging the Great Devil King.

However, even in the face of adversity, Natsuhiko maintained a calm and composed expression.

He slightly smiled.

In response to Kushina's victory declaration, he lightly replied, "That's not necessarily true."

Although it sounded like a Final Struggle bluff, Natsuhiko's confident smile gave everyone a glimmer of hope.

Confidence in Natsuhiko-sensei began to emerge from the depths of their hearts, as if they heard a stirring and inspiring melody echoing in the classroom.

Hey, this doesn't seem like an illusion!

It took the little ninjas a while to realize that there was indeed music playing in the classroom.

The Art of Background Music.

To hype up the atmosphere, Natsuhiko casually activated the hidden BGM function on the duel disc.

The track, "Passionate Duelists," propelled the atmosphere of the duel to a climax.

The stage was set...

Now it was time to perform real techniques.

"Draw a card!"

After a moment...

"Sage Art · Wood-Style · Shinsu Senju!"

The illusory shadow of Senju Hashirama, with several red patterns on his face, joined his hands together. The surging chakra made his hair and clothes flutter.

Able to support both heaven and earth, a gigantic statue of Buddha with countless giant arms rose from under his feet, making the spacious stairwell classroom look particularly small.

The projection on the duel disc continuously zoomed out, and the entire classroom seemed to have been transported far away.

Only then could everyone barely see the complete image of the Buddha.

The ancient woods that had served as the background earlier, now under the influence of the gigantic Buddha, looked like tiny grass.

A bright moon slowly appeared in the night sky.

Then, thousands of giant fists began to descend from the sky...

Bang, bang, bang, bang...

The continuous giant fist shadows turned Kushina's standing position into scorched earth.

From within, there were occasional mournful cries from Kushina.

"Impossible! Ahhh, ahhhh!"

Drip, drip.

High in the sky, symbolizing Kushina's life points, the numbers were rapidly decreasing.

16... 9... 4... 1... 0!

At the moment the value reached zero, it also signaled the end of the game.

The illusory shadow created by the duel disc gradually disappeared, like a dream breaking apart, but the cheers Natsuhiko imagined did not sound.

The grand scene, beyond the little ninjas' cognitive range, left them all dumbfounded, forcing their brains to temporarily shut down.

After a long while, they gradually recovered from their surprised state and began to express their thoughts.

"Sasuge! First Hokage-sama... Sasuge!"

The student with poor cultural knowledge, who could only exclaim in amazement spoke.

"It's all an illusion, it didn't scare me at all!"

This was a student who hadn't recovered from the previous scene and was pretending to be calm.

"I'm starting to feel a bit sorry for Uchiha Madara..."

This was a student mourning Uchiha Madara.

The little ninjas had various thoughts, but soon they converged in one direction...

"Since even the First Hokage is so powerful, then isn't the Third Hokage, the Strongest Hokage, even..."

Sigh!

The little ninjas couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

The temperature in the classroom suddenly increased by one degree.

Quite terrifying when you think about it!

"Didn't expect the strength of the Third Hokage to be so terrifying!"

"Sigh, the formidable Third Hokage often takes the time to give us lectures. It really moves me!"

"I heard someone say that even the First and Second Kages together seem unable to defeat the Third Hokage!"

"..."

Soon, everyone's attention shifted to Sarutobi Asuma, the son of the Third Hokage, all with envy on their faces.

This guy's reincarnation skills are too impressive!

Asuma: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

He felt a bit uneasy under everyone's hot gaze.

At the same time, he muttered to himself.

So... the old fogey is that powerful?

Asuma found it a bit hard to believe.

But since everyone said so, it shouldn't be wrong.

A wave of afterthoughts began to surge in Asuma's heart.

Although he knew that the old fogey, as a Hokage, should be quite formidable.

But didn't expect it would be to this level.

Thinking that his father could use a style even more powerful than that Senju Buddha, Asuma's back began to sweat.

So, when his father used to beat him, it was just playing around.

He used to get mad at him all the time...

It seems that he should be grateful to his father for not killing him.

Asuma silently made up his mind in his heart – he must not make the respected father angry in the future.

Meanwhile, Sarutobi Biwako, who was also overwhelmed by the True Count Senju, slowly recovered her spirit.

Regarding Natsuhiko's knowledge of the Shinsu Senju and Sage Mode, Biwako wasn't particularly surprised.

After all, that heaven-shaking, earth-shattering battle years ago lasted for several days and nights, changing the landscape of the entire battlefield, even affecting the whole Ninja World.

It was impossible to pretend nothing happened.

In fact, that battle could be said to be the most recorded one to date.

Many novels and stories on the market were even adapted from that battle.

Especially the gigantic Buddha statue with countless hands, witnessed by many, was not a secret.

After that battle, Senju Hashirama truly established himself as the God of Shinobi.

Everyone in Konoha welcomed it and specially built statues for the two in the centre of the battlefield, standing on both sides of the great valley, to commemorate the great war and at the same time, intimidate the Ninja World.

This great valley later became known as the Valley of the End.

Back then, Biwako had also observed this battle from afar. So, although the Senju Buddha projected by Natsuhiko had some differences from what she saw, it still made her feel emotional.

But now, the discussion about the comparative battle strength between the First and Third Hokages reached her ears, bringing her back to reality.

Hearing everyone discussing how many First Kages the Third Hokage could beat, Biwako couldn't hold back a guilty feeling.

"I should remind Hiruzen when we get back not to keep bragging about being the Strongest Hokage. We can't afford to lose this person!"
